The whole nation is trying to survive on the cable car; I'm choosing one of three options at ea

In the central core area of ​​the Ash City frontal battlefield, the Ghost Bride, who was originally watching the advancing battle line ahead, paused briefly in the direction from which the fluctuation came.

Her brows furrowed slightly as she recognized the source of the energy fluctuation—it was General Boneface's last resort.

She had seen him use it once before, in an earlier battle, when he faced a fully-organized legion of professionals. The skeleton, once formed, completely tore through their defenses in just three attacks.

After using that power that time, it took him nearly a month to fully restore his bone armor form.

Now he's being forced to use that trump card in the same battle, which means he's been pushed to the point where he needs to unleash all his power at once to escape.

"The Bone Face actually used this move; what exactly did it encounter?"

But it stopped thinking about it.

No matter what happens, they've already made it this far.

There is no escape route.

Moreover, once they occupy a city, they have an unparalleled advantage there.

therefore.

Her gaze lingered for a moment in the direction from which the wave had originated, then she said to the messenger beside her, "Have all reserves move forward, hold nothing back."

......

In the center of the open space in Peach Blossom Village, the shockwave released by the giant skull after it took shape shook off most of the binding vines from the Bone-Faced General's body...

The newly grown branches were torn, ripped apart, and flung off during the impact, but the Moyun vine did not give up.

The branches that were slowly regenerating from the broken end climbed back towards General Boneface's ankle the moment the shockwave subsided, moving as if they had been prepared all along.

As the giant skeleton fully took shape, the battle formation of the soldiers in the wind readjusted their positions. The pale golden light released by the dark gray ranks continued to converge into a light wall covering the front of the formation, blocking every swing of the giant skeleton outside the light wall.

Each time an attack is intercepted, a brief ripple appears on the surface of the light wall, but those ripples will stabilize again before the next attack arrives.

Su Mu continued to attack from the air, the frequency of his spear attacks fluctuating due to the rhythm of charging, but each hit left a new crack at the joints of the giant skull.

The cracks are gradually deepening and expanding, like fragile nodes being repeatedly struck.

Without hesitation, he activated his secret technique, Shadow Mirror Clone, the instant he finished charging up once again.

A shadow identical to his material materialized behind him, also holding a gun and maintaining the same attack stance. Under his control, that shadow simultaneously slashed into the giant skull's joints from the flank...

The two spears simultaneously pierced the edges of the same crack, applying pressure from both directions at the same time, causing the crack to expand at a much faster rate under the double attack.

Three forces were simultaneously and continuously acting on that massive, grayish-white outline...

Moyun Vine restrained their movement from below, while Dafeng's army maintained suppression from the front, and Su Mu and his shadow clones took turns flanking from the sides.

The crack was torn open by the continuous attack, creating a gap that could be penetrated. Su Mu's main body cut into the gap at the same moment it appeared, and the spear pierced the giant skeleton's chest from the side. Then, his shadow clone simultaneously pierced the same area from the other side.

The two spears met inside the giant skeleton's chest cavity, like two hammers striking a cracked wall simultaneously. Then, the penetrating impact exploded from the inside, completely severing the giant skeleton's spine in the middle.

The massive gray-white outline began to disintegrate segment by segment from top to bottom.

Huge bone fragments drifted slowly through the night sky, then turned into grayish-white dust the moment they touched the ground, merging into the surrounding soil like a silent snowfall slowly covering the already largely damaged area.

The Bone-Faced General's last shred of consciousness vanished at the same moment the giant skeleton disintegrated. His broken jawbone, already mostly broken, rolled twice on the ground before coming to rest at the edge of a patch of crushed grass.

A gray beam of light rose from the site of the collapse, piercing through the night fog and the dilapidated peach groves surrounding Peach Blossom Village, forming a brief, slowly spreading gray halo in the night sky outside Ash City.

Lin Yuwei stood at the edge of the territory, and her vision was briefly illuminated when the gray pillar of light rose.

She saw the beam of light rise from where Su Mu's spear pierced through, saw the disintegrating giant skull outline crumble piece by piece, and saw the gray-white beam of light spread into the night sky.

Then she looked away and glanced down at her fingers, which were clasped together in front of her. Her knuckles were a normal color, not clenched, and not trembling.

Beside her, Lin Xiaohe remained in the same position standing next to the light gate, neither moving forward nor backward.

Her gaze lingered on the spot where the gray pillar of light rose for a long time, then she lowered her head, as if trying to gather all the images she had just seen into a corner that only she could access.

On the front lines of Ash City, the Ghost Bride stopped at the very moment the gray pillar of light rose. She turned around and looked in the direction where the gray pillar of light was slowly spreading across the night sky.

That light signified the fall of Boneface, and she had last confirmed his location was in the outskirts of the city. She stood there, the light fading, its edges being swallowed up again by the night fog, but she didn't rush to turn away.

She paused for a moment, then spoke, her voice not loud: "Move all reserves forward, hold nothing back. In one hour, I want to see the city's defenses crumble."

Behind her, the silhouette of the Black Mist Walker briefly coalesced in the night fog before dissipating. In the distance, the ground of the main battlefield continued to tremble, and the light of the last defensive tower was dimming at a visible rate, as if someone were slowly extinguishing that final lamp.

In the night sky above Ash City, the gray pillar of light had completely dissipated, leaving only a darker sky than the surrounding area, as if it had been pressed into a slight depression by some weight.

The fragments of the disintegrating giant skull had all turned to dust and fallen into the repeatedly crushed earth, as if they had never existed.
