Chapter 439 253. Citadel Defense Battle! War is about to erupt!_2

"But I didn't find the will of the Ferocious Great Eagle in his spiritual power."

"What exactly is going on?"

The Thorn Fairy grew more puzzled as he spoke, feeling that the matter had exceeded his understanding.

The man shrouded in dark aura felt the same confusion.

He thought for a moment and said, "It must have been with the help of some tool. Earthlings are best at creating various imaginative tools."

Hearing his analysis, the Thorn Fairy did not dwell on the matter any further and instead laughed, "That person is only Rare Level, yet dares to peek at us Legendary Level beings. He must be blind by now."

"Never mind that person. Hurry up and let me enjoy the taste of a Flower Fairy," the dark-aired man urged.

He had long heard that the Flower Fairies of the Sun-Moon Sacred Land were luscious, and he had always wanted to experience their charm.

Today he finally had the opportunity and was determined to relish it.

The Thorn Fairy pushed away the man pressing down on her, expressing some dissatisfaction, "What's the rush? You better not go back on the deal you promised me."

"Rest assured, I never go back on my word."

The man said as he pressed down again, his voice carrying a hint of the Land of Oblivion, "Don't worry, the thing I promised you will naturally be delivered to your hands after we've taken over City #1."

"It better be."

Having said that, the Thorn Fairy quickly removed the leaves on her body and intertwined with the man in the flower bud.

During their embrace, the Thorn Fairy asked, "Approximately when can we launch a comprehensive attack on City #1?"

"There's no rush," the man replied, "What we need to do now is surround City #1, preventing the people inside from escaping, exhausting their resources. Once they run out of ammunition and provisions, then we'll send troops to attack.

...

In the blink of an eye.

Several days had passed.

Over these past few days, exotic plants in the dangerous zones outside had been spreading and had now reached the outskirts of the safe zones, posing a threat to City #1.

Regarding this, the leadership in the city held meetings almost daily to discuss strategies.

That morning, in the meeting room.

City Lord Qin Chuan looked around at everyone and asked in an unfathomably calm voice, "Regarding the relentless advances of the Sun-Moon Sacred Land and the Land of Oblivion, does anyone have any thoughts?"

Deputy City Lord Shangguan Yuehua said, "Let's observe for now. We suffered heavy losses in the last major battle and need some time to recover. It's not suitable to engage in a large-scale battle."

When Deputy City Lord Bai Wubian heard this, he immediately expressed his disagreement, "At a time like this, what do you mean observe? That's just sitting and waiting for death!"

"If we do nothing and let the exotic plants spread over, the forest to the right side of the city and the lake on the left will sooner or later be occupied by the Sun-Moon Sacred Land and the Land of Oblivion."

"Those two places are the main sources of our city's daily resources."

"Once they are occupied, our city will be completely doomed."

"We must take advantage of the fact that the exotic plants haven't completely taken over yet and, relying on our home field advantage, go out and confront the invaders from the Sun-Moon Sacred Land and the Land of Oblivion, or we'll just be sitting ducks."

"Otherwise, once the outside is overrun with exotic plants, our chances of winning will only be lower."

Bai Wubian reasoned persuasively, convincing many people in the room.

Upon this, everyone began to voice their support for the decision, one after another saying:

"Deputy City Lord Bai is right; we need to leverage our current home field advantage to confront the invaders from the Sun-Moon Sacred Land and the Land of Oblivion, or we'll merely be sitting ducks."

"I also support Deputy City Lord Bai's perspective."

"Deputy City Lord Shangguan, you are too conservative and seem to be unaware of the current situation."

"..."

The first few who spoke in support were confidants of Bai Wubian.

While supporting him, they didn't forget to belittle Shangguan Yuehua a bit to diminish his credibility among the other leaders.

Qin Chuan wouldn't be the City Lord for many more years and would soon be transferred to a higher position.

At that time, the position of City #1's Lord would be a competition between Shangguan Yuehua and Bai Wubian.

The former represents the conservatives.

The latter represents the radicals.

Under the attack of Bai Wubian's camp, Shangguan Yuehua's supporters gradually retaliated:

"Still have the nerve to say Deputy City Lord Shangguan is conservative if we'd been a bit more conservative last time and not blindly initiated a large-scale battle, would our losses be this severe?"

"Indeed, being too aggressive without preparation only makes the situation graver."

"Deputy City Lord Bai, I think it's indeed not suitable to start a major battle now."

"..."

After the rebuttal from Shangguan Yuehua's camp, Bai Wubian's camp immediately countered:

"That's not right. If we had chosen to avoid the battle last time, the places now occupied wouldn't just be the dangerous zones 50 miles away; the stable areas outside the city gates might also have been taken over."

"Exactly, to put it nicely it's being conservative, to phrase it harshly, it's being cowardly."

"Since we are in the Origin Land, we should prepare ourselves for the possibility of dying in battle one day. How can we cower and beg for mere survival?"

"..."

"Who are you calling a coward? Who are you saying is cowering? Lin Zichen, you better make things clear!"

"What's the use of talking with these brutes?"

"City Lord, how do you see this matter?"

"..."

After a fierce debate, both camps finally threw the problem back to Qin Chuan, who was the City Lord.

Qin Chuan pondered for a moment, and finally, under everyone's gaze, he slowly began:

"Everyone, prepare yourselves. In three days, we will leave the city to meet the forces of Sun-Moon Sacred Land and Land of Oblivion stationed outside and hold the stabilized zone."

Upon these words, the expressions of the two camps were distinctly different.

Those in Bai Wubian's camp all showed joy, already envisioning the bright future when Bai Wubian would become the City Lord.

On the other hand, Shangguan Yuehua's camp presented a completely opposite scene, everyone's face was cold, discontented with Qin Chuan's decision, but dared not voice any opposition.

In the city, the City Lord's word was law.

No one could refute the City Lord's decision.

Unless they no longer wished to be involved.

Qin Chuan glanced at the people from both camps and sighed deeply to himself.

What time was it, and these people were still thinking about vying for the position of City Lord.

The combined attack from Sun-Moon Sacred Land and Land of Oblivion was the biggest crisis since the establishment of the City No. 1. Explore more adventures at empire

By the time the battle was on the verge of breaking out, it was hard to say how many could survive.

The position of City Lord?

Heh, they might have to contend for it down below.

...

That same afternoon.

Qin Chuan's decision made in the meeting was announced throughout the city, that they would leave the city to fight in three days.

Upon hearing this news.

Some in the city shouted in frustration, wanting to avenge their fallen brothers by sending the enemies from Sun-Moon Sacred Land and Land of Oblivion to their graves.

Conversely, others showed fear, afraid to leave the city to face the battle.

Not everyone was unafraid of death.

Many harbored a great fear of death.

Better to live a coward than die a hero.

...

In a certain open area in the city.

Lan Tianbai gathered the 28 Alien Human Level Geniuses in the team for a meeting.

Originally, there were 30 Alien Human Level Geniuses, but two had died in the last major battle, Nangong Liuyun and Qian Yifei.

Lin Zichen observed the expressions of the people around him and noticed that everyone was calm, without a trace of sadness.

Seemingly, they had become accustomed to the death of comrades.

It seems the team had not been short of deaths in the past...,

Lin Zichen muttered to himself.

He had a premonition that in the great battle in three days, more people from the team would die, far exceeding two.

But he didn't care, as long as Shen Qinghan was alright.

Tomorrow, his task was to ensure that both he and Shen Qinghan were safe while killing as many enemies as possible to obtain Evolution Resources and enhance his own strength.

"In three days, we will leave the city to clash with the enemies from Sun-Moon Sacred Land and Land of Oblivion stationed outside, which I believe everyone is aware of."

Lan Tianbai looked at the people before him, his voice particularly resounding as he said, "This battle is extremely dangerous and will inevitably result in many sacrifices, even we can't avoid it."

"Fortunately, as soon as the battle begins, the leaders in the city will quickly engage the stronger opponents, so most of the enemies you will face are High Level Experts, with a few being Rare Level Fighters."

"Relatively speaking, it is still safer."

"Everyone must cherish this battle, seize this opportunity to kill more enemies, obtain more resources, and enhance your own strength."

"That's all I have to say, everyone go back and rest well."

With that, Lan Tianbai looked towards Lin Zichen and said, "Zi Chen, stay for a moment, I have something"
