Chapter 1321: Descending Upon Luoyang (Thanks to 'Regional Spirit' for the generous support!)
December 22, 2017
The Three Kingdoms World, Luoyang City, Northern Defense Tower!
The situation in Ironblood City had been a constant concern for those at the Northern Defense Tower.
When Wang Jian launched his attack and the crystal representing Ironblood City shattered, they knew the situation there had taken a dire turn.
However, knowing was one thing, but being able to do something about it was another matter.
It was crucial to understand that the Northern Defense Tower's attention wasn't solely focused on Ironblood City but the entire battlefield.
As the situation in Ironblood City grew perilous, crises emerged in all four fronts of Lu Hai Kong's territory.
In Lingzhi City, after Qin Shi Huang and his group stepped into the teleportation gateway, Meng Tian's army once again marched towards Youzhou.
The mobilization of over a hundred thousand foreign demons caused turmoil in Youzhou, forcing Xi Zhizhai to dispatch Cheng Yaojin and two others to defend the Right Beiping Prefecture.
Meanwhile, in Luoyang City, as Wang Jian unleashed his might, Zhang Huan also demonstrated his power.
Although Nanan's appearance forced Zhang Huan to temporarily halt his military aura, it didn't mean the situation in Luoyang had turned in their favor. Without the military aura, couldn't Zhang Huan still launch an assault with his army?
After Gao Lan's defeat, Luoyang City was left without a commander, making it an easy target for Zhang Huan.
A single wave of Zhang Huan's offensive left Luoyang City teetering on the brink of collapse. With his relentless attacks, it would take no more than three rounds to conquer Luoyang City.
Fortunately, Luoyang City still had two formidable warriors, Dian Wei and Huang Zhong, and with the Daughter of Moonlight's ability to provide five hundred shields with a defense of 100, they managed to hold off Zhang Huan's assault even without a commander.
However, despite repelling Zhang Huan's attack, Luoyang's crisis was not entirely averted. Unless they could reveal a hidden trump card, the fall of Luoyang seemed inevitable.
Compared to the situation in Lingzhi City and Zhang Huan in Luoyang, the Northern Defense Tower was most anxious about the Yunzhong County front.
In Yunzhong County, after the terrifying cavalry annihilated Xian Yu Fu's army, they began to act erratically.
They seemed to have no urgency in their initial assault, taking three days to completely wipe out Xian Yu Fu's forces. But after the slaughter, they grew impatient, and the cavalry began a frenzied charge towards Luoyang.
What did Xi Zhizhai fear the most?
It was this type of highly mobile cavalry that terrified them. Not only was this cavalry exceptionally agile, but it also didn't need to conquer cities one by one like a conventional army.
Their terrifying mobility allowed them to bypass mountain paths and venture deep into the territory using mountain roads.
Moreover, once this enemy started massacring within the territory and spreading the Zombie Virus, the consequences would be catastrophic, potentially leading to severe incidents.
Fortunately, although the cavalry bypassed the city walls and advanced deep into Lu Hai Kong's territory, they didn't seem to have the intention or ability to spread the Zombie Virus, which could be considered a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.
Of course, this so-called stroke of luck didn't bring much relief to Xi Zhizhai and his allies.
Or rather, from the four larger Demon Landing Sites...
After the Demon Descent, Xi Zhizhai and his group had never felt at ease again.
The enemy's strength far exceeded their imagination, and bad news poured in from all sides. Their initial preparations crumbled, and within just four days, Lu Hai Kong's forces had lost hundreds of thousands of troops and over a dozen fierce generals. Moreover, the cavalry's target was evidently Luoyang, and with their speed, they were estimated to arrive in a short time.
"We can't continue like this!"
Even Xi Zhizhai couldn't remain calm in the face of this situation.
In the Northern Defense Tower, as Xi Zhizhai spoke, everyone present brightened up. They knew that Xi Zhizhai's words signaled the beginning of their counterattack.
However, the Northern Defense Tower's brows soon furrowed again, and the reason was simple—a matter of authorization.
In truth, Lu Hai Kong had made extensive preparations for the foreign demons, but many of these preparations required his personal authorization.
Due to the sudden turn of events, Lu Hai Kong was immersed in his seclusion and couldn't extricate himself, which directly led to the outbreak of war without him delegating many of his authorizations.
At this moment, if they wanted to counterattack, they couldn't mobilize many of Lu Hai Kong's forces without his authorization. If not for this, how could Zhang Huan have been so audacious at Lingzhi City?
Xi Zhizhai understood their concerns, and a glint of determination flashed in his eyes. "Don't worry about authorization. Although we can't use some of the Lord's preparations, there are others we can still utilize!"
As Xi Zhizhai prepared to reveal his trump card, several people in the Northern Defense Tower paled.
"Wait... something's wrong!" Jia Xu's eyes glinted with experience.
"There's an issue at Lingzhi City!" Xun You's gaze intensified.
"They're here!" Guo Jia's face turned pale.
As they spoke, Xi Zhizhai had already left the tower and stood at its peak, gazing towards the direction of the Teleportation Gateway.
Almost simultaneously, as Xi Zhizhai's gaze fixed on the gateway, an overwhelming aura, carrying the majestic might of heaven, surged into the sky. A faint yet distinct dragon's roar followed.
A crack appeared in the moonlight that enveloped Luoyang City, and within the crack, a dense, impenetrable blackness emerged.
Amidst this darkness, several figures appeared, and as they did, the black dragon aura on one of them surged, accompanied by an angry dragon's roar.
A torrent of ferocious and furious energy swept through, oppressing the entire Luoyang City. Who else could this be but Qin Shi Huang?
In that instant, Xi Zhizhai's group realized that their calculations had failed. Despite tampering with the Teleportation Gateway twice, they had still been unable to prevent these individuals from arriving.
At the same time, over a hundred kilometers away from Luoyang City, the commander of the cavalry, who had been leading his troops in a frenzied charge, slightly changed his expression.
"Has he arrived so soon? I must also quicken my pace!"
As he spoke, the commander nodded to the general beside him. His warhorse's eyes flashed with crimson light, and its speed erupted as it galloped towards Luoyang City.
