Chapter 1036: The Light of Hope (3rd Watch)
What is the end times?
Earthquake?
Tsunami?
Volcanic eruptions?
Resident Evil?
Planets collide?
Solar storms?
Or is it a black hole devouring?
These things that look very powerful in ordinary life are not the end of the world before this battle of heaven and fire.
The real end is war, a war that engulfs the entire universe!
The Holy Capital is the last hope of the ground race, this city carries the fate of too many people, once the Holy Capital is breached, then no one will be able to stop the advance of the army of the Endless Race, and then all the cities around the Endless Battlefield will fall!
After the Endless Battlefield, there will be the Metaverse Ground, and the forces of these countries themselves are not strong, and they cannot compete with the masters of the Endless Race at all.
Then there is the New Territories, which is an extremely weak civilization that will be easily conquered.
When the time comes, trillions of people will be reduced to slavery, and the Endless Race is itself a brutal race, and it is undoubtedly a luxury to expect them to treat their captives favorably.
But people have no choice.
The Holy Capital is now surrounded by the large legions of the Endless Race, and it is impossible to get through, and even has placed heavy troops on the edge of the Heavenly Fire Continent to prevent the ground race from continuing to send reinforcements.
In fact, the ground race didn't have much strength to reinforce it, and the great rout of the Celestial River greatly damaged the combat strength of the ground race at this stage, with a total of more than 100 billion martial artists killed.
Those who died in the previous battles were all the main combat power, and even if a team was temporarily organized to pass, it would only be the fate of being slaughtered by the other party.
The holy capital city is surrounded on all sides and is already in danger.
Near the endless battlefield, people have already migrated their families, and the starry sky is full of spaceships scurrying around.
It's just that these ordinary people's spaceships are not very reliable, but there are many air crashes, which add a lot of casualties in vain.
Helpless people can only hope for a miracle, and the holy capital must not fall.
In the temporary official residence of the Holy Capital, the powerhouses of the Ground Race Hall of Fame gathered.
At the beginning, the Hall of Fame had just been expanded, and there were 300 people here, which can be described as huge.
But now the seats are vacant, and all the halls of fame have gathered together, and there are less than a hundred!
During the Battle of the Celestial River, more than 200 Hall of Fame fell, especially before the final line of defense collapsed, the Endless Race focused on assault, leaving many Hall of Fame powerhouses in the chaos army.
In just the battle of the Fifth War Zone Command Post, Jizo and Dong Xuehan joined forces to kill more than thirty Hall of Fame Ancient Warriors!
If it weren't for the desperate guards of these halls of fame, maybe the commander-in-chief Jiu Xuan might have fallen in the Heavenly Boundary River.
And the top ten in the Hall of Fame at the beginning, now only Xiong Jing and Crane Shadow are left.
The death of the Dragon King, the death of Ye Xingcai, the death of Lin Zhen, and the death of the Heavenly Swordsman ......
Even Augustine betrayed the terrestrial race and went over to the side of the Endless race.
Jiu Xuan's gaze swept over the faces of the remaining Hall of Fame one by one, and everyone looked a little decadent.
The Holy Capital has been completely blocked, even the surrounding space is locked, the other party monitors day and night, there are no gaps and dead ends, no one can break out of this blockade array.
And they can't go out, where are they going to go out?
Wandering among the stars? Nobody wants to do that.
The oppressive atmosphere in the room was pervasive, and for a long time, Jiu Xuan spoke in a hoarse voice.
"Have you counted all the losses?"
"Commander-in-chief, it has been counted, in the battle of the Heavenly Boundary River, our side had a total of 150 billion participants and a loss of 126.7 billion, including 206 strong people in the Hall of Fame and 1.55 million strong people in the King ...... ”
The muscles on Jizo's face twitched a few times, and he was silent for a while, "What about the Endless Race?"
"The Endless Race is much smaller than us, because we have suffered betrayal, and we have lost too many people in the course of the rout, and their losses will not exceed 40 billion, and the number of people killed in the Hall of Fame is only about ninety, which is less than half of us. ”
Hearing these numbers, Jiu Xuan's heart kept sinking.
There are more than 200 people in the other party's Hall of Fame, and there are more masters among them, which is in stark contrast to their own side.
In Jiu Xuan's view, there are three main reasons for the defeat of this battle.
The first is the overall strength comparison of the two sides, so many years of comfortable life have created the laziness of the ground race.
However, the Endless Race tried its best and worked hard, and finally cultivated so many masters, and its overall combat effectiveness was slightly higher than that of the ground race.
The second is the strength of the opponent's high-end combat power, there are only three consummation powerhouses on the ground race's side, while the endless race has five consummation powerhouses.
In the last battle of the Heavenly Boundary River, the opponent's four consummatory powerhouses raided the first and ninth headquarters, so that Shadow Kill and others could not resist and led to a rout, and Dong Xuehan suddenly joined, teamed up with Jizang, and Jiuxuan, who was forced to fight, was injured, which was also one of the main reasons for failure, and no one could resist the opponent's top master.
Another reason is Augustine's betrayal, which has had some clues from the beginning, after Lin Zhen's death, Augustine naturally took over the command of the Eighth War Zone, which led to a tragedy.
Jiu Xuan thought that he was at fault for this matter, Augustine and Lin Zhen were not on good terms, but he wanted to put the two of them together, and they could turn hostility in the face of national righteousness.
However, during the Hall of Fame Challenge, Augustine had used the demonic methods of the Heavenly Sin, which was obviously related to the Endless Race.
Because Jiuxuan is an ancient martial artist, he doesn't care much about the affairs of the previous Hall of Fame, which is also one of the reasons for the tragedy.
It seems that it is a little late to sum up the lessons now, the Skyfire War prohibits the intervention of the gods, and the existence of the gods can only guarantee that the race will not be extinct, and other things have nothing to do with them.
Victory or defeat does not involve the gods, they are people from another world.
Only these halls of fame are the sinners of the defeat of the war.
Seeing that Jiu Xuan was silent, Shadow Kill opened his mouth and asked, "Commander-in-chief, what should we do next?"
Jiu Xuan thought for a while and exhaled deeply.
"Do we have any other options?"
There is no one to intervene, and everyone knows that the current situation has deteriorated to this point, and there is no good way.
They couldn't think of a way to defend the Holy Capital and fight to the death with the Endless Race.
Could it be that there will be super powerhouses below the gods who come to the Holy Capital to relieve the pressure here?
Maybe if you look at the entire universe, you can't find such a strong person.
Seeing everyone's faces, Jiu Xuan smiled: "It seems that everyone is very clear about the current situation, so let me tell you what I think." ”
"Everyone don't expect to surrender, we have been fighting with each other for so long, it is impossible to get any preferential treatment if we surrender, and don't expect to escape, the current Tianhuo Continent is almost in a state of not going out and not entering, and it is impossible to escape. ”
"The war is like this, and my Jiuxuan has no face to return to his hometown, the only thought is to do everything possible to defend the holy capital, even if I die in battle, I will die here!"
Jiu Xuan stood up with some excitement: "We have to stay here and do our best to consume the enemy's living force, as long as we kill and injure one more enemy, then our compatriots will have less pressure in the future, and the longer the time drags on, the better, this is the only thing we people can do!"
Jiuxuan's passion also infected many people, and these warriors stood up one after another, saying that they would definitely live and die with the Holy Capital.
"Okay, I'll assign tasks next, and everyone will take turns on duty to guard the walls of the Holy Capital..... Also, find your own friends in the dimensional universe, when the Celestial River was defeated this time, in order to hunt down our main force, there were still a lot of stragglers who were scattered by the impact, and now they must still be in the Tianhuo Continent, contact them, correctly let them also form a force, harass the people of the Endless Race from behind, and relieve the pressure on the Holy Capital!"
The halls of fame agreed in unison, and each went about his own business.
After Jiu Xuan said that, he sat on the chair a little dejectedly, he didn't know how long his arrangement could last, but now he could only hold on one more day for one more day, and one more day for a long time, what miracle would happen.
That's all he can think.
The Endless Race did not immediately launch a general attack on the Holy Capital.
Because they also have a lot of things to deal with, such as stabilizing the edge of the Skyfire Continent and preventing the ground races from sending reinforcements.
For example, to subdue the surrender team brought by Augustine, and prevent the people of these terrestrial races from making any trouble.
For example, send people to search for the Heavenly Fire Continent to find those ground race warriors scattered everywhere.
When the Celestial River was defeated, too many ground race warriors were scattered, and they were not idle, and after gaining a foothold, they attacked the Endless Race army from all over the place.
There were even two groups of warriors who gradually formed a scale, forming a team of millions of people.
But they also have a fatal flaw, that is, they lack a leader, and the strong man of the king leads the team, and as a result, they were raided by the people sent by the Endless Race, and ended up with a total annihilation.
As time passed, they gradually lost their ability to contain the endless race.
It was known that when the Endless Race's front was stabilized, it would be time to launch a final general assault on the Holy Capital.
Maybe the fate of the ground race is really going to enter the countdown.
In the depths of the sea of clouds of the Celestial River, in the vast clouds, there was a little light flickering.
If you take a high-powered magnifying glass of the highest level of civilization and look closely at this place, you will see that there is a little dust in the air.
The dust was so subtle that it was imperceptible, countless times smaller than normal dust, but it did exist.
It was an infinitely compressed speck of dust that would not normally exist.
Only the power of a black hole can do this.
This light, flickering with an almost imperceptible brightness, seemed to have something in it.
