Chapter 818 The war begins

"what?"

Jiang He sized up the blonde girl in front of her.

With a voluptuous figure, tall stature, and a face with both striking and gentle features, she is clearly a mixed-race beauty. Of course, these are secondary; Ambaris's innate talent is likely "Living Refinement."

For an alchemist, a talent like "living alchemy" would undoubtedly make the process of growth much easier.

Jiang He ignored the matter of "replacement" and simply asked, "Do you want to become an alchemist?"

Ambaris paused for a moment, then smiled with longing: "If I could reach even one-tenth of Emperor Dijiang's level, I would be satisfied for the rest of my life. If I could use alchemy to fight off the vampires and protect humanity, that would be even better."

Si Ning muttered to herself for a moment. The blonde girl was definitely on the righteous female lead route. She and Lao Jiang, the newly chosen one of destiny, might follow a master-disciple relationship, eventually coming together despite their prejudices through daily teaching and learning.

Jiang He said seriously, "What price are you willing to pay for your ideals?"

Ambaris suddenly stood at attention, clenched her right fist at her chest, and said in a firm and powerful voice, "We are willing to give our lives! It is because of the selfless sacrifice of generations of predecessors that we have the fortress we have today."

"Good ambition."

Jiang He grabbed the girl and said seriously, "Then quickly become a key material for the new S-level students. The Anxi Fortress urgently needs demigod combat power."

Without giving the girl any room for regret, Jiang He began alchemy.

Seven A-level demons—Flame, Void, Nothingness, Law, Steel, Life, and Thunder—descended upon the villa.

Using the "Living Forger" as the foundation, with steel as the bone, fire as the blood, lightning as the flesh, and emptiness as the skin, the alchemical process proceeded rapidly. The blonde girl gradually grew taller, losing her original beauty and becoming a fierce and menacing figure. The new S-class demon soldier inherited the three heads and six arms of the Steel Demon, like a demon crawling out of hell.

An S-rank demigod specializing in strength and defense has been officially born.

The Demon of Nothingness, the Demon of Law, and the Demon of Fate looked on with envy, but the three of them still needed to command the fortress garrison.

"Boss!"

The demigod soldier looked around with a face full of curiosity.

Si Ning felt a little melancholy. Immortal Pig bodies were too rare in the Dark World. It was not easy for her to find a cup with a primal charm of nine points, but Lao Jiang did not cherish it at all.

"Why have you been so chaste lately?" Si Ning asked with a bitter face.

Jiang He calmly replied, "I don't want to be played by Lilith."

Yu Jianyue, Eleanor, and Luo Yeli—Lilith enjoyed him three times in completely different ways. Lessons learned from the past serve as a warning for the future. Just like last time, when she was enjoying herself, Luo Yeli suddenly revealed his true form, which was hardly a surprise.

Si Ning said helplessly, "You wouldn't doubt me, after all, we first met in the Silkworm World."

Jiang He nodded. He went to the Silkworm World first, and then descended to the Ember World to coexist with Lilith.

"Then let me help you deal with it."

"No need, it's just one less hobby."

"Don't refuse, otherwise I'll be terrified to sleep at night."

Jiang He reluctantly agreed, turned around and lay down on the sofa. Si Ning's hands ignited with golden flames, the temperature just right for the traditional massage.

Before she knew it, Jiang He closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep.

"It's a bit prickly, shall I clean it for you?"

"what ever."

……

The next morning.

The Taiko issued an order, and the garrison immediately marched towards the northern part of the Tongchuan war zone. The plan for the second wall had been completed.

The fortress garrison consisted of twenty divisions, forty artillery regiments, and five armored brigades, all mobilized by the mob and staff.

nine in the morning.

The command base vehicle drove out of the fortress's iron walls and into the wilderness.

The gray sky hung low, like a dirty shroud, pressing down on the jagged, broken mountains in the distance. The gale whipped up sand and gravel, which rustled against the rusted car wrecks.

The earth was cracked everywhere, and occasionally a cluster of withered black plants could be seen stubbornly reaching towards the sky. The road surface was already half covered by sand and soil, and the air was filled with a faint smell of gunpowder, mixed with dust and some indescribable putrid odor.

On the horizon, a few wriggling black dots first appeared, then merged into a torrent of steel. The composite armor of the main battle tanks gleamed as if they were new, the gun barrels pointed straight ahead, and the heavy tracks crushed the gravel mercilessly into the soil, accompanied by a deep and continuous roar.

Behind the tank company were cavalry personnel carriers and infantry fighting vehicles camouflaged with bulletproof glass. Soldiers wearing helmets and with cold, stern faces could be vaguely seen. Further away, rocket launcher tubes were lined up in a menacing array, piled up like hills.

Battalions of soldiers advanced in tactical formations, guarding the flanks of the armored forces. All were equipped with Dawn standard weapons. Thanks to Lockheed Martin's massive investment, the equipment and firepower of several main divisions were in no way inferior to those of the Class A Army Groups.

Inside the base vehicle, Wuhe reported on Taiko's deployment.

"The Anxi Fortress Garrison is responsible for guarding the area from Guanzhuang Town to Majui County to Lüjiapo Village. The second wall, which is 100 meters high, has been completed and contains a base and bunker system."

"The second wall has an autonomous repair function and, in conjunction with the Apocalypse Satellite System, can monitor the vampire units within the wall in real time. The main core matrix is ​​located at the main base in Majui County."

"Marshals Dijiang and Aoqing, you must ensure that the alchemical matrix of the main base is not destroyed. All logistics and military merit exchanges will be handled by Taige. As for the scattered vampire troops that have infiltrated behind the wall, there is no need to send reinforcements. The allied forces of the various shelters will handle them." Jiang He signed a stack of combat orders, a large portion of which were blank sheets of paper that Wuhe could fill in at will, to avoid having to ask for instructions repeatedly and wasting time.

On the sofa in the base vehicle, Si Ning was completely focused, weaving a long black rope with both hands. The rope was relatively thin, but had excellent toughness, and it shone slightly under the light.

Once the braid was secure, Si Ning used it as a hair tie to tie her hair into a high ponytail.

Jiang He glanced at it and asked in confusion, "Why does it look like hair? Did you cut my hair yesterday?"

“No,” Si Ning said solemnly. “How could I possibly ruin your image? I naturally collected material from places that were out of sight. Yesterday it was a bit rough, so I simply shaved it all off and kept it as a souvenir.”

Jiang He's expression changed slightly. He got up and walked straight to the bathroom mirror. After a while, he came back with his pants up, his face unusually pale, but he was speechless.

Si Ning laughed and said, "You're a cute little tiger now, so quickly say thank you to me."

Jiang He chuckled coldly. Anyone else would be a corpse by now.

"How can you have no sense of propriety at all?"

"Hey, didn't I ask for your opinion yesterday? You said it was up to me, so naturally I'll provide excellent service. Consider it punishment for you smearing my face with this. Let's not accuse each other of being weirdos."

Si Ning smiled and crossed her legs, her women's sandals dangling from her toes, swaying gently up and down. Her black dress had a mysterious style, like the night, but the fabric was relatively conservative, and her collarbone was not visible.

This is an obvious temptation.

Jiang He rubbed her forehead. "What exactly are you rejecting?"

Si Ning pondered for a moment and said, "Except for the last time, we've been quite frank with each other. Why don't you try to remove the power of the sin of lust? But that would be such a waste."

Charm is not just about appearance and temperament; it's also about affinity with elements and other energies, the world itself, and preferential treatment in terms of rules.

Si Ning didn't want the other person to waste their potential over something trivial, and besides, she knew that this guy was unlikely to do that.

Jiang He closed her eyes to rest.

Half a day later, the second massive wall outside the fortress's iron wall came into view of the vanguard.

A colossal wall, hundreds of meters high, with a metallic sheen, stretches endlessly to the left and right, surrounding the four major war zones. This memory metal, with its high strength, durability, and self-healing properties, is priceless. Only the multiplying power of the Tarot-level forbidden artifact, the Tower, could ultimately forge such a magnificent project.

The First and Second Divisions entered the second wall one after another via the wall staircase. Inside, the light was dim, but the space was extremely spacious, enough for dozens of warhorses to ride abreast. There were thousands of bunkers, and overhead, instead of dark clouds and sky, was an iron wall.

"It's like a giant tank!" Wuhe exclaimed.

“The work of multiple alchemy masters,” Jiang He judged.

The fortress garrison arrived one after another, and a motley crew set up defenses. Two divisions remained in the rear to collect military supplies, or in short, to loot shelters.

At night, the mastiff arrived.

This middle-aged man, who possessed the original talent of the Six Paths, had to relinquish a large amount of power as the president "went mad," and now the Class A military group is basically in the hands of the three major clans.

“Dijiang, three clans have already arrived on the other side of Jinyang Lake. They may launch an attack at any time in the next few days. The clans opposite us are Gangero, Torido and Nosferatu.”

Beasts, artists, monsters.

Each one corresponds to a symbol of one of the three clans.

Due to the losses and gains from attacking the Giant Enterprise Alliance, the vampire clan underwent a reshuffling, or even annexation.

Jiang He browsed through the Taiko intelligence. In recent days, the underground battlefield between humans and vampires had been clashing. The Night Airborne Division had suffered heavy losses, but it had not been without gains.

"The Toridor Clan, the White Duke, the most powerful contender for the demigod position in that clan... one of the End Player leaders mentioned in the United Channel."

End of the World Players: 699.

Players: 9.

Dusk Players: 14.

Origin players: 58.

Judging from the current situation, the End faction has the strongest strength.

"Boss, there's something strange on the lake!" Wuhe suddenly shouted.

Jiang He arrived at the bunker. The huge wall in front of him was cast from a mixture of some kind of transparent stone and memory metal. Through the observation port here, he could see the vast Jinyang Lake with its surging waters.

A giant tortoise, as tall as the wall, appeared. This Class A mutant was half-dead, its entire body transformed into a weapon of war, with a dense cluster of cannon muzzles resembling scales.

"The headquarters of the Dark Council," Ao Qing said, "one of the vampires' weapons of war, comparable to the Sky Fortress."

The giant tortoise was just the beginning of the unrest.

Countless blood servants and cannon fodder, along with the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, surged in from the horizon, quickly covering the land and lakes. The Blood Clan, or rather, the End Players within the clan, had found a way to wield the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.

"The situation is more serious than I expected," Ao Qing sighed.

Before the second batch of munitions could even be delivered, the war had already begun, completely unexpectedly.
