Ch. 149Preparation
Hua Ye and Ruoning led the Taotie forces through Merlo Heavenly Court’s outer defenses while Fu Hua, Hexi, and Cang Xiaoxuan prepared to meet them. The Taotie vanguard approached the supposedly empty stronghold, unaware of what awaited them.
- Hua Ye discussed reclaiming Merlo Heavenly Court, and Ruoning took charge of the assault after they reached its nine defensive lines.
- Hexi explained the defenses to Fu Hua and Cang Xiaoxuan, and Fu Hua said she could stop the enemy from entering the nebula.
- Hua Ye’s forces passed through the defenses with Ruoning’s guidance, while the Taotie vanguard suffered ship losses on the way.
- Hexi led Fu Hua and Cang Xiaoxuan to a preparation room and showed them a starfield-wide holographic display powered by the Celestial Base computer cluster.
- The Taotie vanguard approached Merlo Heavenly Court and wondered why no angels had appeared, trusting in the powerful expert aboard a supply ship behind them.
