Chapter 929: 242. Repelling the Demigod’s Army of 100,000! (7,000 words)_3
However, facing such a crisis, the officer of the battalion of a thousand clearly had so skill. Upon seeing the gun battery, he imdiately ordered them to disperse loudly. Although the soldiers at the front were hit hard, suffering heavy casualties, once the troops dispersed, the power of the artillery barrage significantly decreased.
But the consequence of this was that the battalion of a thousand, already small in number, beca even weaker in combat strength once dispersed.
At this mont, Fang Ze on the city wall, following Black Bull’s instructions, ordered the Federation garrison on the wall to start pinpoint shooting at the enemies below.
In this way, very soon, this battalion of a thousand had almost perished without even touching the city wall: The defense facilities of Congyun City, which even Tiger King valued, indeed showed formidable power at the first clash!
…..
At the sa ti, within the military formation of Tuoya State.
The casualties of a battalion of a thousand were not significant enough to catch the attention of the demigods from the Outer Realm, so they showed little reaction.
Yuan Gu quietly watched the scene without giving an evaluation but instead waved his hand, making a gesture.
Soon, from the Tuoya State army erged a squad of a hundred, carrying space folding bags, from which they pulled out various components and began assembling them.
After about half an hour, majestic silver-white cannons, engraved with various mystical patterns, appeared in front of the battle formation.
“Turn!”
With the officer’s flag raised, the silver-white cannons began to adjust their muzzles, aiming at the walls of Congyun City!
“Activate!”
The gunners stood behind the cannons, starting their operations!
Soon, streams of the Power of Laws were drawn from the Spirit Realm, and terrifying energy began to coalesce at the center of the silver-white cannon barrels!
“Fire!”
“Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom boom boom!” With the command, energy shells were launched towards the walls of Congyun City!
And at this mont, a transparent energy shield suddenly appeared above Congyun City.
The energy shield seed incredibly fragile, but each energy shell that hit it only produced tiny ripples, with almost no significant effect.
Upon seeing this scene, the expressions of the demigods from the Outer Realm finally changed.
The ancestor of the Zeng Family frowned slightly and said, “Why is Congyun City’s turtle shell so hard?”
“The Federation has been peaceful for fifty years; there shouldn’t be city defenses this strong.”
The Peacock God King also frowned, then looked at Yuan Gu again and asked for permission, “Venerable, such a defense, unless a demigod intervenes, is almost impossible to breach. Sending regular soldiers to siege is just a futile waste of lives and resources.”
Upon hearing this, Yuan Gu sat on the chair, looking at the firm and unyielding Congyun City with an expressionless gaze.
After a while, he suddenly said, “Peacock. You’ve had contact with Bai Qingcang. If he makes a move, how much chance do you have of winning?”
Hearing Yuan Gu’s words, the Peacock God King was montarily stunned. After a while, he replied, “Venerable, Bai Qingcang is dead.”
Yuan Gu said, “What if he’s not dead.”
Upon hearing this, the Peacock God King’s face wrinkled entirely. He glanced at Fang Ze standing beside Yuan Gu, then, after a mont of silence, said, “No chance of winning. And very dangerous.”
“Very dangerous?” Yuan Gu asked.
The Peacock God King replied sincerely, “Yes. The sword he unleashed seed to have achieved Unity.”
“As you know, reaching Unity, one can potentially trace back to consciousness. A single misstep, even for an undying demigod, could result in losing much of their lifespan.”
Hearing the words of the Peacock God King, Yuan Gu’s expression also grew tense.
At this mont, the Peacock God King added, “However, Venerable. He is only at the Ascension stage. Having unleashed that strike, it’s impossible for him to have survived.”
This ti, Yuan Gu did not speak but instead gestured to Fang Ze.
Seeing this, Fang Ze stepped forward and said to the Peacock God King, “God King, Bai Qingcang may indeed not be dead.”
“These past few days, in order to take revenge on Fang Ze, I’ve been secretly tailing him. But the more I followed, the more I noticed sothing was off.”
“Our army is pressing forward, but Fang Ze remains calm; not only does he not withdraw, he even concentrates all his legitimate lineage forces in Congyun City.”
“Given his shrewdness, would he undertake such actions if he wasn’t 100% certain?”
“Furthermore, after Bai Qingcang made his move, his body mysteriously vanished. The Federation and Xida State initially didn’t report or publicize news of his death, as if he hadn’t died at all.”
“That alone is suspicious enough, but a few days ago, the Xida State suddenly began massively reporting his demise. It’s practically a case of the more you cover it up, the more it brings attention.”
“Of course, these are just my analyses and speculations. But aside from these analyses, I must say: While following Fang Ze, I inadvertently sensed a wisp of a demigod’s aura. That aura was undoubtedly Bai Qingcang’s.”
“That’s why I feel there’s deception involved here!”
After saying all this, fearing that the Peacock God King might not believe him, Fang Ze raised his right hand and swore, “I swear by the na of Dahei Jialuo. If any of what I’ve said is false, may Dahei Jialuo suffer oozing wounds on his head, sores on his feet, fall from the demigod rank, and never be reborn!”
Upon hearing Fang Ze’s oath, the Peacock God King, who had been sowhat skeptical, was also affected because demigods recognized by the world, close to the world’s origin, could not easily swear oaths. Once sworn, they truly had a likelihood of coming to pass.
Thus, seeing Fang Ze swear, the Peacock God King also looked towards Congyun City, then hesitantly said, “Could it be… Bai Qingcang is really still alive?”
Regarding Old Mr. Bai, the Peacock God King genuinely held apprehension: With the powerful recovery power of his absolute pinnacle demigod status, the injuries he sustained saving Garo’s Houri have yet to fully heal. Facing the bizarrely formidable Old Mr. Bai, he couldn’t help but be nervous.
At this ti, Yuan Gu also looked at him and asked, “Shall we give it a try, Peacock?”
