Chapter 568 Prelude to the Black Tide, Ark Repair

Click!

Ten minutes later, the doors of the steel house closed again.

Xu Linshan and the others' expressions changed. Surrounded by elite modified human guards, they all subconsciously glanced back at the tightly closed door.

I received neither a definite answer nor a rejection.

They all had mixed feelings at that moment.

"What exactly does Lord Flamebringer mean?"

A high-ranking lord asked instinctively, but immediately realized his mistake, his face paled slightly, and he turned back to look.

There was no sound, as if his complaint had not been heard.

The steel house that temporarily housed the Flamebringer was eerily quiet.

"Let's go."

Shaking his head helplessly, Xu Linshan gestured for everyone to stop talking.

He glanced at the silent building, sighed inwardly, and finally led his group away slowly.

The sound of military boots clapping on the ground grew fainter and fainter, and then a special armored vehicle picked them up and took them back to the fortress command post.

I stood by the window and witnessed it all, watching the car disappear into the distance.

Chen Feng's gaze grew increasingly profound.

"My lord."

Pandor stood behind him, his mouth agape, a mix of emotions flashing in his eyes.

It was a mixture of hatred for the Kuroshio and curiosity about what the other party was thinking.

"I have my own plans."

Without answering, Chen Feng gently shook his head.

He did not directly agree to Xu Linshan and the others' request.

No one can be sure whether the Kuroshio tide will descend upon this place.

And the key point is that he can't stay here forever, because he will need to return to Earth later.

Hearing this, Pandor was puzzled, but he didn't ask any further questions.

Chen Feng didn't offer any further explanation.

The divine transformation was still ongoing, but he could sense that the situation in this world was gradually getting out of control.

The news about Kuroshio was both too depressing and too sudden.

For some reason, he couldn't help but think of the dark apocalypse in the Secret Realm of the Dead.

A sudden darkness enveloped everything, suspected to be an invasion launched by an evil god.

Finally, it took nine righteous gods burning their power to barely stop it, delaying the situation for a year.

He also incurred a promise to salvage the situation a year later.

Calculating the time and taking into account the differences in flow rates in different spaces of the astral plane, he only has six months left.

"The Realm of the Dead has nine holy beings, and it was only with them that we could barely hold them off."

"And here, there is only the [Emperor], and that one from the Kingdom of Taido."

The stark contrast between the two is disheartening.

As for naval guns, laser weapons, modifications and mechs, teleportation devices, etc., they can give ordinary people powerful destructive capabilities and strategic weapons for space support.

It appears to possess terrifying power and has enormous advantages.

But all of this is based on the premise that individual strength can withstand it.

Otherwise, Gutado's fate is the best proof.

"The situation is quite serious."

The Protoss appeared at some point and clearly had overheard the previous conversation.

A illusory projection appeared, hovering in the air, and she looked at Chen Feng with a worried expression.

"If it's just an angel descending, it's not a big problem."

"However, judging from this situation, the fact that Thailand is in such a mess suggests that the King of Angels may be hiding behind the scenes."

"At that time."

Before he finished speaking, Chen Feng understood what he meant.

The King of Angels is no less than a god, and if he were to make a move, I, in my current state, would find it difficult to completely contend with him.

but
"How many Angel Kings are there?"

With a question lingering in his mind, Chen Feng realized the key point.

He currently lacks sufficient information on this matter.

"When we were destroyed, there were nine angel kings and twenty-seven evil angels."

Answering in a low voice, the Celestial Spirit once again recalled the past.

The flames of a destroyed warship seemed to appear in his eyes, and the sacred curtain of destruction turned into an lingering shadow.

"They are extensions of the will of the evil god, and the King of Angels is even called a demigod, who also holds the authority over the rules."

"In that later battle, we killed four angel kings and more than sixteen evil angels."

The Protoss said with a heavy heart, “During those years, we paid a heavy price to completely kill the Angel King.”

"I just wonder if any new angel kings will be born during these years."

"If evil gods and angels are blessed, they may also have the opportunity to be promoted beyond the norm and inherit the throne of the King of Angels."

"Some angel-level Black Tide creatures also have the opportunity to receive the blessing of the rules under the gaze of the evil god, open the Sea of ​​Origin, and become new evil god angels."

She was unsure, and her complex words stirred up waves of emotion in Chen Feng's heart.

The ancient Taido must have had a considerable number of holy beings, otherwise they could not have dominated the astral plane.

Even so, it was destroyed by the invasion of the evil god and the king of angels.

The endless nature of the Black Tide is a truly despairing and fatal suppression.

Silence fell upon the room once more, and the illusory figure of the Star Spirit vanished again.

With a deep gaze, Chen Feng finally looked at the bottles of life energy potions sent by the ancient empire.

The future is uncertain.

But at least for now, he must hold on tight.

For more than ten days in a row.

The azure sky was clear for miles, and gray-black aircraft continued to descend.

Huge naval cannons were suspended and transported as a supplement to the military force, while armored vehicles came from the north of the empire, passing through the city and along the wide road in the center of the gray building complex.

One after another, floating devices carrying new cyborgs and massive cabins arrived, and the Seventh Fortress, located in the southernmost part of the Empire, was constantly replenished with troops, making the fixed turrets on the massive walls even thicker and heavier.

The area where the Imperial Heart is located is still undergoing intensive repairs day and night. Many large steel machinery and infrastructure equipment can be clearly seen being lowered and fixed, metals are being refined, blocks are being glued together, and new giant teleportation devices are being rebuilt.

And witnessed this scene.

The high-ranking officers on the fortress walls all had complex expressions as they looked up at the sky, at the very center of the flying force, at a special flying vehicle with a golden spear emblem.

"Even the Imperial Guards have come."

"It was expected. The situation in Thailand is so chaotic that we, as the first line of defense, naturally need heavy support."

"Sigh, to be honest, I'm more worried about the Black Tide than the war. Every fortress is a key node of the Iron Curtain. If they really invade, we'll probably be the first to be hit."

The high-ranking lords and legion generals spoke in deep voices, most of them with some worries.

As the Kuroshio Current escalated, Thailand and many other countries began to withdraw their forces.

Instead of feeling joy, they felt increasingly heavy-hearted.

As long-time rivals of the Thai Kingdom, they naturally knew just how powerful this nation's civilization was.

But even so, they only managed to barely stabilize the situation, and one can imagine the consequences.

"If something were to happen, would Lord Flamebringer intervene?"

Some people sighed, clinging to a sliver of hope.

Many eyes were thus diverted, quietly turning toward the city below the fortress, to one of the steel structures.

"Perhaps he's only after these resources."

"Actually, we shouldn't cooperate with him like this. Maybe when the Black Tide arrives, he will stand by and leave alone."

Some people harbored resentment, thinking about the uncertain outcome of that day.

The lack of a direct affirmation most likely stems from fear of the Kuroshio Current.

"That's not entirely true. Hasn't Lord Flame never left?"

"Nonsense, we've been providing him with resources. If you were in his shoes, would you leave?"

A dispute arose, with each side sticking to their own version of events.

Faced with this situation, Xu Linshan sighed. Their contact with the Flame Warriors was too brief; no one could be certain of the real answer.

However, I thought of the emperor's instructions.

He eventually spoke up to quell the argument and stop the farce.

"okay."

"As long as Lord Flamebringer remains in the fortress, he is our comrade."

"You should stop doubting and questioning."

The crowd reacted differently upon hearing this; some snorted in dissatisfaction, but ultimately said nothing more.

Finally, the flying units in mid-air began to land one after another, and the aircraft in the center opened its hatch, revealing three powerful figures.

"General Xu, the Emperor has ordered us to come and assist the army in guarding the fortress."

"Please feel free to tell me what you need."

The voice landed with confidence.

The three powerful figures from the Imperial Guard were all legendary-level cyborgs. Each wore a peaked cap with the Imperial emblem, a brown military overcoat, and military boots.

Metal armor and advanced combat suits were worn on the innermost side. On either side were two people, a man and a woman. One was tall and muscular, like a giant ape, while the other had short, dashing hair and casually put her hands in her pockets.

As for the leader at the very center, he appeared thin but was quite strong and capable; he was a man in his early thirties with short, choppy hair.

"Commander Kai, you're too kind."

"We are extremely grateful to have your help in guarding the fortress, so there is no need for us to give any orders."

Smiling and shaking hands with them, Xu Linshan was well aware of how special the status of these Imperial Guard experts was.

They were all imperial guards and enjoyed the emperor's deep trust.

Moreover, one must complete the third stage of legendary transformation before assuming the position of leader.

"General Xu is too modest."

With a calm smile, the muscular man known as Commander Kai withdrew his hand.

Immediately, his gaze swept over the other legion commanders and high-ranking lords present.

"It seems Lord Flamebringer is not here?"

"Yes, Lord Flame is currently in seclusion for cultivation."

Xu Linshan nodded and explained the situation.

After that visit, Chen Feng stopped seeing guests and didn't show up.

Only Pandor would occasionally appear to take stock of the resources.

"I see."

Without asking any further questions, the man named Commander Kai exchanged a few more words with the fortress to get a general understanding of the situation before leaving with his men.

The footsteps that brushed past him grew further and further away, leaving many high-ranking lords standing on either side, hoping to make contact with him, greatly disappointed.

"Commander, do you think that Flame Master is really as powerful as the rumors say?"

"Even Serik was forced to retreat? Really?"

On the way, the legendary female cyborg, one of the Imperial Guards, followed behind Commander Kai, asking curiously with a hint of eagerness in her eyes.

The burly man on the side, who resembled a giant ape, also looked curious and waited for an answer.

"I have seen the monitoring footage of that battle, and it has indeed surpassed the legendary level."

With a calm reply, the man named Commander Kai slowly stepped towards the fortress's city wall steps: "Moreover, something that can earn the Emperor's attention cannot be fake."

"This Flame Master is indeed a top-tier expert."

As soon as the words were spoken, the female cyborg who had asked the question earlier had a flicker in her eyes, her curiosity growing stronger.

It could overshadow the Imperial Guards and draw the Emperor's attention.

Such a strong opponent, if only we could exchange blows.
"Commander, shall we go and see him?"

Tread!

Commander Kai paused, his brow furrowed slightly, and turned to look at the other person.

“Lona, Taiyue, I know what you’re thinking.”

"But don't blame me for not warning you two. Keep your minds to yourself and don't cause trouble."

Hearing the warning, the cyborg woman named Rona looked sullen and had no choice but to nod.

One side resembled a giant ape, and the burly man known as Taiyue shrugged, revealing his attitude.

Seeing that the two men were listening to his advice, Commander Kai's expression softened slightly.

He immediately stopped talking about the previous topic and did not blame the two of them.

He stood on the edge of the giant wall's platform, looking across the battlefield at the Thai-Do Kingdom's fortress, a dozen kilometers away.

"Let's go, don't forget the task the Emperor gave us."

"The Kuroshio Current is what we should be focusing on preventing."

same moment.

In the wilderness and forests dozens of kilometers away.

The massive canyon resembles a crack, with rock layers exposed to the air, seemingly nothing but sand and gullies.

but.

hum! !

As the light refracts, wisps of ripples appear out of thin air, blooming in the canyon.

The void seemed to transform into an ocean, with ripples appearing.

A hole several meters in size was visible in the void of the canyon, and a metal behemoth, seemingly created by some kind of civilization, could be vaguely seen.

call out! !

Immediately, a gust of air broke through the sky.

Yan Changkong, dressed in a white martial arts uniform and wielding a silver ancient martial arts longsword, appeared and entered the room.

Several enormous metal boxes were manipulated with extreme skill, flying through the air and following the flow back to the canyon, then into the disguised barrier.

hum!
In an instant, the invisible barrier was restored, and the previous passage entrance was perfectly healed.

Light refraction and signal shielding concealed the existence of the Windrush once again.

The next Imperial aircraft to be tracked and detected swept across the sky and hovered in the clouds.

But no matter how they scanned the earth, they could not find any trace.

"It seems these people from the Empire are still not at ease."

Standing at the entrance of the canyon, Yan Changkong sighed. There had been too many resource exchanges these past few days, and the ancient empire was clearly becoming suspicious.

However, he wasn't too worried and immediately took the supplies and headed towards the ark.

The magnificent pyramid resembles a sleeping behemoth, with a dozen huge mechanical arms extending from inside the compartment, occasionally emitting hissing sparks as they weld metal and repair the compartment.

There are also seven or eight floating devices surrounding the pyramid, with intelligent machinery fixed above them, connected to special nodes, bright light curtains, and maintenance modules.

Meanwhile, a huge lifting platform is moving up and down, transporting supplies and standing by in an orderly manner.

The charred marks and melting cracks left by the Federation's holy forces have mostly healed, like a battered metal behemoth about to recover from its injuries.

"Old Yan, you're pretty quick."

Suddenly, a sound rang out.

That is the spirit of an angel waiting here.

Wearing a blue martial arts uniform, he was also a Ranked Envoy-level martial artist named Jell.

It is evident that the other party carried a metal block tens of meters in size and weighing nearly a thousand tons, ignored the lifting platform, and jumped directly to a higher cabin level on the ark.

Having long been accustomed to such sights, Yan Changkong smiled as he recalled the days when he fought alongside these comrades in the High Wall Alliance.

Without further ado, he quickly joined in, moving supplies more efficiently.

hum!
"Are you back?"

Soon, the Protoss, sensing the commotion, transformed into human form once more.

Distractions arose around her, and she looked at the newly acquired supplies.

The metal box, several meters in size, had been opened, and inside was a large, square energy cube that looked like it was being charged with blue light.

“Obsidian Source Block”.

"Although it's only a mid-range series, but..."

Her eyes lit up, and she smiled as she sensed the curious gazes of Yan Changkong and the others.

"The energy system of the [Wind Chaser] can be basically repaired."

"And we can return to Earth soon."
