Chapter 377 Reinforcements from the Sea, the Man in Green Robes! (Please vote with monthly tickets!~)

Xu Fu and his three companions.

Since Fang Qingyu withdrew from the City of Injustice.

So he followed from a distance.

They did not board the ship; the nature of the corpses made them completely unafraid of the Arctic winter.

Therefore, even after Fang Qingyu had informed Old Man Hong, Wei Banmeng and the others were unaware of Xu Fu's existence.

Since Xu Fu recognized him as his master, he has been able to communicate with him over long distances.

So at this moment, upon hearing Xu Fu's voice, Fang Qingyu immediately flew towards the construction site at top speed, while simultaneously asking in his mind.

"What's the situation at the construction site right now?!"

Fang Qingyu couldn't help but feel anxious, since Jiang Wei and Xu Fu were at the construction site.

Even if a fourth-tier, Abyss-level, life-death ghost attacks, it shouldn't have much of an impact.

At this moment, Xu Fu personally sent a telepathic message to Fang Qingyu.

This means that a situation has arisen at the construction site that even he cannot resolve.

Upon hearing Fang Qingyu's question, Xu Fu fell silent for a moment before speaking softly.

"The construction site is surrounded by the army of ghosts."

Surrounded?!
Fang Qingyu frowned slightly.

With Jiang Wei in charge, Xu Fu assisting, and nearly 20,000 people under the command of third-tier experts such as Wei Banmeng and Chu Kuanglan.

What kind of army?
It can surround so many people.

A chilling coldness spread along my spine.

The starlight shines brighter, and the speed is increased again!

The air was compressed to the extreme, creating a piercing sonic boom cloud behind them.

The construction site of Dawn City.

Edge of the icy sea.

Time seemed to be frozen on the scale of despair.

Just a dozen minutes ago, this place was a huge forward position, brightly lit and filled with the roar of machinery.

Dark blue construction vehicles come and go incessantly.

The supporting truss framework, reaching heights of tens of meters, is beginning to take shape.

The massive, ice-impact resistant concrete platform has just solidified into a hard outline.

It lifted up the first nail that humanity drove into this desolate land.

The prototype of the City of Dawn.

But at the moment.

All the lights became the most glaring targets on this battlefield.

The clamor was completely drowned out by the roar.

As far as the eye can see, there is no longer a snowfield and an icy sea.

It was a black tide.

An endless black tide surged in from every direction of the ice field, from the very edge of the horizon.

It submerged the undulating ice mounds and filled the deep ice fissures.

Wherever you go.

Even the howling cold wind was swallowed up by the noise of the advancing Kuroshio.

Ghostly Fate!

These are demons of all shapes and sizes, yet they all exude a bloodlust!

Low-ranking ghosts converge into a filthy stream.

They converged into a writhing, roaring black ocean, emanating a terrifying aura!
quantity?

Ten thousand, one hundred thousand? Two hundred thousand?

The viewer's gaze simply cannot reach it.

The black tide was already crashing heavily against the hastily constructed coastal defenses.

Construction has long since stopped.

Eighteen thousand people.

The warriors of the Azure Dragon Gang, as well as the combat-capable personnel brought in by Deep Blue Heavy Industry.

Under the guidance of third-tier powerhouses such as Wei Banmeng and Chu Kuanglan.

It relies on the unfinished steel framework and massive concrete base of Dawn City as its final support.

Backed by the inky, icy sea churning with deadly ice floes.

They formed a ring-shaped defensive line, fighting with their backs to the wall.

Besides the dense, dark mass of the main battlefield below.

At this moment, endless brilliance is bursting forth in the sky.

It was Jiang Wei and Xu Fu.

They directly pulled two Abyss-level Life Ghosts into the sky to fight.

"withstand!!"

"Go back and kill them all!!!"

Chu Kuanglan's roar was the most ferocious war drum on the battlefield.

A massive, mountain-like body stood at the forefront.

They were firmly anchored on the front line where the black tide was most fiercely impacted.

The giant sword in his hand was no longer recognizable as its original color, completely covered by layers of viscous dark purple and bloody green filth.

Every swing of his sword brought forth a storm of blood and gore.

Even though Lao Chu and his men had little experience in large-scale battles, they understood this clearly.

In a battle between two armies, morale is of utmost importance.

If the morale of one side collapses, the other side will soon be defeated.

Moreover, this time their battlefield is with their backs to the coast, leaving them with absolutely no way to retreat.

On the other hand, the ghosts on the other side can make strategic retreats, pulling back and forth between the 20,000 people on the coast.

Therefore, Old Chu's idea was not to give the Ghost Army a chance to retreat.

If we're going to fight, let's settle this in this round.

And we must win!!

But there are just too many ghosts and demons.

They can't be killed all at once, nor can they be eradicated completely.

One of the ghosts that had been cleaved away had not yet landed.

Three sharp claws, gleaming with an eerie light, were already reaching for Chu Kuanglan's neck from different angles.

From the side, a creature resembling a giant spider, its mouthparts dripping with acrid acid, spewed out a sticky spiderweb, attempting to trap him.

"Get out of my way!!!"

Chu Kuanglan's hair and beard stood on end, and his eyes were bloodshot.

His blood and energy erupted like a burning furnace, his bulging muscles stretched to their limit, forcefully shaking off the claws that were reaching for him.

The giant sword swung back and swept horizontally.

It cut the tough spider web in half along with several predators that pounced from behind.

However, in the instant his old strength had just dissipated and his new strength had not yet arisen.

The hard frozen ground beneath our feet suddenly burst open!

A long-lurking, worm-like creature covered in ring-shaped sharp teeth burst forth from the earth.

A giant, slimy mouth swooped down and devoured it!
The stench almost suffocated him.

The distance was too close, and the speed was too fast.

Chu Kuanglan's pupils shrank sharply, and he only had time to hold the giant sword horizontally in front of him.

Just as that gigantic maw, covered in spiraling teeth and dripping with corrosive slime, was about to devour him...
boom! boom! boom!
Three dark figures shrouded in intense corpse energy.

With the force of a thunderbolt, it struck Chu Kuanglan with perfect precision.

The terrifying shockwave exploded in a ring shape.

"Puff puff!"

The ghosts within a ten-meter radius of the landing point.

In an instant, like a rotten watermelon struck by an invisible giant hammer, its body shattered and collapsed inch by inch, turning into puddles of filthy flesh.

The ghost that launched the sneak attack had its proud head struck hard by the knee of one of the dark figures.

The tough, ring-shaped carapace dented and cracked like paper.

Foul-smelling bodily fluids and shattered internal organs splattered more than ten meters away.

Smoke and blood mist filled the air.

Chu Kuanglan leaned on his giant sword, panting heavily, his body covered in blood as if he had just been pulled out of a pool of blood.

He looked in astonishment at the three figures that had suddenly appeared beside him.

Were there three "people"?
No.
There are three "things"!
They were covered in tattered fragments of armor, from which one could vaguely discern an ancient style.

The exposed skin had a deathly bluish-gray hue.

It clings tightly to the jagged bones.

His eyes were sunken, with two will-o'-the-wisps burning inside.

A body with large, thick bones, especially with unusually prominent joints in the arms, surrounded by a dark red, bloodthirsty aura.

Its body is covered in red hair.

The other two are very similar in appearance, except that one has green fur and the other has white fur.

This almost stumped Chu Kuanglan.

He thought someone was coming to help him, but upon closer inspection...
Damn it, they're three dried-up corpses!!!
Where did these three come from?!

First of all, they were definitely not warriors from the Green Dragon Gang.

A ghost of fate?

It doesn't look like either.

The deathly, malevolent aura emanating from them.

It is completely different from the filth and chaos of the ghost of fate.

Just as he was filled with doubt and instinctively wanted to raise his greatsword in defense,

The white-haired corpse, with pale ghostly flames flickering in its eye sockets, stiffly turned its skeletal head.

The jaw opened and closed, producing an extremely difficult, intermittent sound:

"Brother Yu, this is our master."

The words have not yet fallen.

The red-haired corpse let out a low, hoarse roar, and slammed out its massive fist covered in bone spurs.

The heavy armored warrior that lunged at him from the side was blasted with a huge hole, its armor and torso completely exposed.

The green-haired corpse flashed like a ghost, its bluish-gray bone claws tearing through the air, leaving five eerie green afterimages, instantly dismembering the three shadow predators that were trying to ambush it.

They are truly killers.

Moreover, their combat strength is astonishing.

Aoko is their master?!
Countless questions surged up instantly.

When did Aoko take this kind of monster as her subordinate?
However, the battlefield gave Chu Kuanglan no time to think.

"Roar--"

More and more ghosts were driven even more insane by the deaths of their companions.

Like piranhas that have caught the scent of blood, they swarmed in from all directions with even greater ferocity.

Although the three mummies were ferocious, they seemed to have only a killing instinct and no sense of coordination or formation. They were instantly separated and surrounded by the surging black tide.

The red-haired corpse roared and pounded its fists wildly, the green-haired corpse moved like a ghost and tore through the air, while the white-haired corpse silently waved its bony arms.

"Damn it, I can't care about that anymore, they're friends, not enemies!"

Chu Kuanglan gritted his teeth and forcibly suppressed all his doubts.

All you need to know is that these three mummies are tearing the ghost apart right now.

"Hey, those three skeletons!"

Chu Kuanglan used all his strength, his voice drowning out the roar of the battlefield.

The giant sword was pointed behind him towards the main force of the Azure Dragon Gang, who were struggling to hold on and whose lines were teetering on the brink of collapse.

"Stop charging blindly! Come back, hold the line, don't break formation!! Follow me and fight our way back!!"

Unexpectedly.

The three ancient corpses, who were engrossed in their killing spree, actually stopped moving in unison.

The red-haired corpse's fist, which had smashed the head of a demon, stopped in mid-air, while the green-haired corpse retracted its bone claws that had torn apart the chest cavity of a predator.

Three pairs of eye sockets burning with will-o'-the-wisps of different colors.

At the same time, they turned to Chu Kuanglan.

The next moment, they actually abandoned their immediate goal.

Like three ghostly figures flying close to the ground, they instantly broke through the obstruction of several life ghosts and returned to Chu Kuanglan's side.

The red-haired corpse and the green-haired corpse stood on the left and right, like two silent guardians of slaughter.

The white-haired corpse followed closely behind Chu Kuanglan.

"Goodness! Really obedient?"

Chu Kuanglan was deeply shaken, but even more surprised.

"Brothers, see that? It's one of our own! Hold the line!!"

He roared at the bewildered Green Dragon Gang warriors behind him while pointing his greatsword forward.

"Follow me! Slaughter these bastards! Dawn City is right behind us!!"

"kill--!!!"

With three powerful, impervious ancient corpses as arrowheads.

With the pressure on Chu Kuanglan greatly reduced, he roared and launched another charge.

Several people formed a triangular formation.

It forcefully tore a bloody gash against the surging black tide.

They fiercely pierced through the Green Dragon Gang leader's lines, which were being squeezed and forced to retreat.

……

The entire ring-shaped defensive line.

Everywhere, the most brutal hand-to-hand combat was erupting.

Wei Banmeng's figure moved like lightning through the left flank, her usually cold face stained with blood.

Each thrust of the Xuan Chi twin blades in his hands precisely struck the head of a demon, bringing with it a spray of foul blood.

Her voice pierced through the chaos of the battlefield.

The words echoed clearly in the ears of every soldier who fought valiantly: "Don't stray from the main force, hold the line!"

"Brothers, this is our Dawn City's first battle!!! Don't forget the original intention behind building this city, kill them all!!!"

Chu Kuanglan roared like thunder.

It came from the fiercest front line in the center of the battle.

It instantly ignited the feelings in everyone's hearts that had been somewhat overwhelmed.

"Did you hear that?! Captain Chu said it! This is our Dawn City's first battle!!"

A blood-soaked Green Dragon Gang squad leader shouted hoarsely as he cleaved open the head of a demon with his sword.

"Don't fucking forget why we built a city in this godforsaken place!!" "Hold on! Reinforcements are on their way!!"

The morale, which was on the verge of collapse, was forcefully pulled back by these two roars.

The circular line, which had been pushed back step by step, miraculously stabilized.

There has even been a slight counter-trend emerging.

Roars and screams mingled.

Every inch of the ice was soaked with scalding blood and icy filth.

……

Behind the battlefield.

It is supported by a huge, unfinished concrete base and piles of supply boxes.

Shen Zhou and a group of non-combatants and technical experts huddled behind a temporary shelter.

The deafening sounds of battle, the roars of the dead, and the screams of the dying pounded on everyone's hearts.

Shen Zhou's face was ashen, and he clutched a military communicator stained with sweat and blood tightly in his hand.

Screaming into the microphone:

"Where are they?! I'm asking you where they are?!"

"No matter the conditions! No matter the method! Get people here!!"

"The front lines are about to collapse!! Captain Fang isn't here! Captain Wei and the others won't be able to hold out much longer!!"

"All inventory! All resources! Bet it all! Tell those mercenary groups and adventure teams! As long as they can get to the Ice Sea Dawn construction site alive, I, Shen Zhou, representing Deep Blue Heavy Industry, will offer ten times the reward! A hundred times the reward!! Money if you want money! Resources if you want resources! Materials to kill you!! Hurry!!"

He roared until he was hoarse.

After hanging up the call, Shen Zhou slumped against the cold concrete block, feeling utterly drained.

Looking in despair at the meat grinder-like battlefield ahead.

In my field of vision, there was a dark, seemingly endless tidal wave of ghostly beings.

Our own circular defensive line was like a small boat that could capsize at any moment in a stormy sea.

Although the mixed force of Green Dragon Gang fighters and engineers was brave and fierce.

However, the difference in numbers is simply too great.

The number of ghosts is at least five times that of them.

This time it's probably all over.
Shen Zhou's heart sank to the lowest point.

Dawn City: He and Deep Blue Heavy Industries staked their entire future on it.
Is it possible that in this first battle to defend the city, before it can even fully take shape, it will be completely crushed on the edge of this icy sea?

Captain Fang, where are you?
You said you could hold on!

Just when Shen Zhou was in despair...

"Gululu. Gululu."

A sound like countless bubbles bursting at the same time.

It pierced through the deafening battlefield noise with exceptional clarity and reached his ears.

The sound is coming from behind!

That dark, churning sea of ​​ice, dotted with enormous icebergs.

Shen Zhou suddenly shuddered.

I subconsciously looked back.

The scene before him made him forget to breathe.

His pupils shrank to pinpoints from extreme horror.

Not far from the steel skeleton of the Dawn City, the sea, which was originally relatively calm, began to churn violently as if it were being boiled.

Countless bubbles of all sizes surged and burst from the sea surface.

The vast expanse of dark blue seawater was churned up and became extremely turbid.

"A sea monster with a deadly fate?!"

A terrifying thought instantly gripped Shen Zhou.

Besieged by a large land army in front, and ambushed by a ghostly figure from the sea behind?!

A pincer attack?!
This is a fucking game-winning situation!

He felt ice-cold all over, and almost screamed desperately to remind his comrades fighting a bloody battle ahead.

However, just as he opened his mouth wide, and the sound was about to burst out of his throat...
“Crash——!!!”

A figure broke through the churning seawater.

Soaring into the sky like a nimble dolphin.

The splashes of water refracted a cold luster under the bright light of the searchlight.

That was a person!
A middle-aged man dressed in a dark blue outfit, wielding a water-splitting dagger, with a sharp and wielding face.

He is not alone.

Followed by!

"Splash! Splash! Splash—!!!"

Like dumplings being cooked in boiling water.

Countless figures broke through the boiling sea surface and soared into the sky.

Ten! A hundred! A thousand! Ten thousand!
They were densely packed, like a mythical army of aquatic creatures riding the waves.

They wore all sorts of clothes, some uniform, others tattered and worn.

But without exception.

They all exuded strong fluctuations of qi and blood or a powerful energy aura.

The weakest is a second-tier transcendent.

Some of the leading figures possessed an aura as deep as the sea, reaching the third level.

The number of people is so large.

In an instant, a landmass made up of human heads appeared on the sea next to the City of Dawn.

And people are still leaping out of the sea in droves.

"You bastards from the Lingxiao Society!"

The first to leap out of the sea, the one with the strongest aura, was a lean, middle-aged man.

His gaze swept across the horrific battlefield on the shore with lightning speed, and a fierce murderous intent and a hint of excitement instantly rose on his face!

He suddenly raised the water-splitting spike in his hand, his voice booming like thunder:
"Follow me and kill them all!!!"

"kill!!!"

Behind him, thousands of warriors dressed in uniform dark blue uniforms, exuding a fierce aura, roared in unison.

The sound wave instantly drowned out the clamor of the battlefield.

They didn't need boats at all; their feet firmly planted on the undulating waves, creating towering sprays of water, as they charged fiercely toward the flank of the Ghost Army on the shore.

The movements are uniform.

Almost at the same time.

"Brotherhood members, follow me! Don't let the Lingxiao Gang steal the spotlight! This way!!"

In another part of the sea, a scarred giant, shirtless, carrying a giant axe shaped like a wheel, roared with maniacal laughter.

He led a group of equally fierce men, armed with a variety of weapons.

Like a tiger released from its cage, it pounced on the other side of the army of ghosts.

"Sisters of Blood Rose! Form ranks! Engage in strangulation formation! Target: Central Army advance!!"

A clear, cool female voice rang out, and a group of women clad in red leather armor, their figures lithe and agile, were led by a female leader wielding a rapier and possessing a cold and elegant demeanor.

It pierced the middle section where the tide of life and death was most concentrated.

"..."

More shouts echoed across the sea!

"Black Flag Mercenary Group! Let's fucking kill them!"

"Iron Wall Adventure Team! Break through them!"

"Lone wolves, follow me! Chop off the valuable heads!!"

……

These tens of thousands of new troops have appeared on the sea.

Like several red-hot daggers, they plunged viciously into the back of the black tide of fate.

The army of ghosts that originally besieged the Dawn construction site.

They were instantly caught in a predicament, attacked from both sides.

"Reinforcements! It's reinforcements!!"

"Our brothers from the city are here!!"

"Brothers! Counterattack! Charge out—!!"

The ecstatic shouts of the Green Dragon Gang and the Deep Blue Engineering Team warriors instantly resounded through the sky.

The previously crumbling defense line unleashed astonishing power.

Under the leadership of Chu Kuanglan, Wei Banmeng and others.

With the help of fresh troops arriving from the sea, they launched a fierce counterattack.

Chu Kuanglan brandished his greatsword wildly, laughing maniacally, and roared at the three silent, killing ancient corpses beside him: "Bones! See them?! Our reinforcements! Kill them all!! Kill them to death!!"

The red-haired corpse seemed to understand his excitement.

A muffled roar came from his throat.

With a single punch, he blasted the armored heavy armorer blocking his way into countless fragments.

Shen Zhou stared blankly at this astonishing reversal, his legs went weak, and he collapsed onto the cold snow with a thud.

His face showed a bewildered expression of relief after surviving a disaster, which quickly turned into indescribable excitement and ecstasy.

Tears mingled with blood and rolled down his cheeks.

At this moment, Shen Zhou finally understood.

So the reinforcements Wei Banmeng was referring to were these people!

It wasn't the people he just shouted for on the wireless network.

At that moment, Shen Zhou's mood instantly went from hell to heaven!
Moreover, it's not just these people; besides those well-organized individuals from before, there are others on the sea at this moment.

Extraordinary individuals are still emerging in an endless stream.

However, these extraordinary individuals do not belong to any large organization.

Often, a dozen or so people would gather and charge into the army of ghosts.
A continuous stream of fighting power is emerging from the sea!
Although it is unclear who these people are or where they came from.
But Shen Zhou seemed to understand now why Fang Qingyu insisted on building it on the sea.
I also understand where Fang Qingyu got his confidence to defend this city.

……

High in the sky.

Fang Qingyu pushed his speed to the limit.

His expression darkened slightly at that moment.

However, he wasn't worried about the battlefield below collapsing.

Currently, two Abyss-level combatants have appeared on the entire battlefield.

At this moment, they were all blocked by Xu Fu and Jiang Wei.

No matter how many of the remaining Ghost Army there are, Chu Kuanglan and his men can hold them off.

Because of the support of the City of Injustice.

This is the source of his confidence to build a city outside the Great Wall.

This idea actually originated from Jiang Wei's initial suggestion that Da Lei bring the City of Injustice here.

At that time, Fang Qingyu and his colleagues were still worried about how to resettle these 2 people.

Jiang Wei's words suddenly gave Fang Qingyu an idea.

Da Lei is Jiang Wei's guardian; his sole responsibility is to protect her, but Jiang Wei is determined to stay with him.
So Fang Qingyu contacted Da Lei.

He was to help him build a city outside the Great Wall.

In this way, Da Lei can have two major advantages.

First, he can be very close to Jiang Wei, making it convenient for him to protect her at any time.

The second is that it allows people in both cities to benefit from each other's development.

Most of the people in the City of Injustice have committed crimes in the Federation, so they dare not set foot on Federation territory.

But the area outside the Great Wall is not considered part of the Federation.

Therefore, they can use the Dawn City route to reach the Arctic.

To come and kill the ghosts beyond the Wall is something many in the City of Injustice want to do, but cannot.

It also greatly contributes to the development of the City of Injustice.

So Da Lei agreed after thinking about it for a short while.

That's why we have this scene today of reinforcements suddenly appearing on the sea.

What Fang Qingyu is worried about now is...
Another Abyss-level Fate Ghost has appeared, disrupting the balance of high-level combat power on the battlefield.

In that case, even if I arrive...

The losses would be extremely severe.

Fortunately, five minutes later...

The outline of the city at dawn is already in sight.

The battlefield on the edge of that icy sea was boiling, and the deafening battle cries were like a boiling furnace.

Just as Fang Qingyu was about to plunge into the battlefield, preparing to first sweep away the raging tide of ghosts below, and then rush to the aid of those above,
Changes occur suddenly.

Ahead, less than ten miles from the edge of the Dawn Battlefield, high in the sky.

The air rippled very slightly, like water.

A figure appeared out of thin air without warning.

It happened to block Fang Qingyu's speeding starlight trail directly in front of him.

Fang Qingyu forcefully stopped his momentum.

The combat suit covered in star crystals fluttered wildly during the violent stop.

The starlight around him fluctuated violently like a tide.

The newcomer looked to be in his thirties, with an ordinary face and even a hint of scholarly air.

He was wearing a faded blue cloth gown.

Like a down-on-his-luck schoolteacher.

The only difference is...

Several black lines crawled across that seemingly ordinary face.

It looks a little weird.

When Fang Qingyu's gaze fell on the top of this person's head...
His brows furrowed slightly at once.
Black.

This means that the man in the blue robe in front of us...

It is not a person.

It is a ghost of fate.

Its name is [Hell Guest].

Three large, jet-black characters floated above the man's head.

The hellish guest stands suspended in mid-air, untouched by wind and snow.

He looked at Fang Qingyu, and the strange black lines on his face seemed to distort slightly.

He forced a smile.

"This road is blocked."
