Chapter 260: Chapter 227: Wrong Gate, Three-Race Allied Army (Part 2)
"This human has humiliated my Dark Night Elf Clan beyond measure. I will not be able to sleep at night until I have my revenge!" Una’s fists clenched.
She had already received the report.
The Thirteenth Prince who participated in the spouse-selection ceremony was actually a human in disguise. Furthermore, the same human was responsible for the Seventh Princess’s prior abduction and for framing the Celestial Race for it.
This was a humiliation she simply could not tolerate!
"And the Beast King?" Celestial Race King Mu Ying nodded, his gaze shifting to a middle-aged man beside him with a mane of hair like a lion’s.
"Fight! Enough with the chatter! My third son sent the signal. For this battle, my Beast Race will take the vanguard!" The Beast King gritted his teeth.
"Good. With our three races united, victory in this battle is certain!"
"Victory!"
"Victory!"
"..."
...
「Three hours later.」
Gui Zian fled back to the Eastern District Fortress with Fang Tangtang.
Almost at the exact moment he entered the fortress, its alarms began to blare. A large enemy force had been spotted in the direction of the Beast Race’s territory.
"It’s the Three Races Alliance Army!"
"They are less than a hundred li from the Eastern District Fortress. They are expected to attack in two hours at most. Red alert! All soldiers of the Eastern District Fortress, man the walls and prepare for defense!"
"Alert, red alert!"
"Quick, report to the Vice Commander!"
"The Vice Commander led the troops out of the city, and even Vice Commander Chen is gone..."
"What are we going to do?"
"Don’t panic... Vice Commander Wang is still in the fortress! Notify Vice Commander Wang immediately!"
"Yes, sir!"
"..."
"Teacher Gui, the Three Races Alliance Army is coming to attack us? I didn’t mishear, did I?" Fang Tangtang blinked, looking at Gui Zian with a shocked expression.
"Vice Commander Shen is out? What’s going on?" It was as if Gui Zian hadn’t heard Fang Tangtang at all. He was more concerned about where Shen Changsheng had gone.
’Could it be that Shen Changsheng left the city to look for them?!’
At this thought, Gui Zian’s expression changed drastically. If that was really the case, then the Eastern District Fortress was in grave danger this time.
...
「Eastern District Fortress, on the city wall.」
A figure in green robes was silhouetted against the setting sun.
Ghost Eyes Li Tiannan stood quietly under the banner of the Eastern District Fortress’s Military Department. He didn’t look at the soldiers standing guard below, nor did he take command of the fortress’s defense.
"The Three Races Alliance Army, hmm? It’s been many years since that last happened..." Li Tiannan glanced into the distance, then pulled a white slip of paper from his robes.
His fingers moved gently.
Lines of faint, shimmering characters appeared on the slip of paper.
After doing all this, Li Tiannan began to fold a paper crane...
He was folding the paper crane with great concentration. From start to finish, it took him a full thirty seconds before the paper crane was complete.
Then, his eyes changed.
From within his originally pitch-black eyes, something like a ’ghost’ seemed to overflow and slowly seep into the paper crane in his hand.
FLAP FLAP! The paper crane flapped its wings, and with a WHOOSH, it flew into the sky. In an instant, it vanished without a trace.
If Gao Neng had seen this, he would have definitely exclaimed.
"Wow! An Immortal!"
But unfortunately, he hadn’t yet tunneled his way back to the City of Hope and couldn’t witness this shocking scene. And, as expected, he had gone off course again.
He wasn’t too far off course, though.
Fifteen degrees at most.
’That’s not so bad, is it?’
After all, when you’re tunneling rapidly underground, it’s not that easy to calculate your direction with perfect accuracy. As long as he could escape back to the City of Hope, nothing else mattered.
Shen Ning’Er’s body had now completely formed a jade-green cocoon. It had no energy fluctuations, but it was filled with the aura of nature.
As for Gao Xiaomeng...
Gao Neng was feeling a little awkward.
Because Gao Xiaomeng was stark naked, and with her delicate skin pressed tightly against him, he still felt a bit unnatural, even though he knew she was a cat.
After all, even though Gao Neng was super handsome, he was still rather inexperienced when it came to matters between men and women.
"’She’s a cat, she’s a cat... Right, she really is just a cat...’" Gao Neng muttered to himself over and over while tunneling with all his might.
According to his calculations, he should be arriving soon.
Listen...
The ground was still vibrating.
’Huh? Why is the ground shaking?’ Gao Neng’s Spiritual Power seeped out from the earth. He discovered that there was nothing on the surface, just a field of man-high weeds.
Weeds?!
Weeds!
’I’m near the Eastern District Fortress!’
Only this place has this kind of man-high red weeds.
Gao Neng’s heart leaped with joy. He had actually escaped death! It was simply a miracle. He stopped tunneling and shot up to the surface.
’What about the pursuers behind me? Huh? They’re still there?’ Gao Neng glanced back and clearly saw a rolling cloud of dust less than a li away.
’An army of several thousand people can make such a huge commotion? Are these people chasing me, or are they cleaning up a battlefield? So strange...’
’Wait a minute... an army of several thousand couldn’t possibly create a dust cloud like that, could they?’ Gao Neng’s expression turned extremely strange. ’What’s going on?’
And there was another small problem...
The surrounding scenery seemed a little different from when he left the city.
’Which gate am I at?’
The Eastern District Fortress was backed by the City of Hope, but it didn’t just have one gate. It had a total of three main gates, each connecting to one of the three different sectors of the Eastern District.
As for the reason...
It was very simple: the area the Eastern District Fortress defended was very long.
The three main gates formed a triangle. When the foreign races attacked any one gate, they would be met with a response from the troops at the other two.
