Black River, Flamefire, and Tubo were the three major Energy Nodes on the First Layer.
As the core location of the First Layer, Tubo Fortress had naturally been designated the main city by the Abyss Faction.
Yet the current Tubo Fortress was clearly somewhat abnormal.
Aside from the oppressive atmosphere, the aura emanating from the obelisk was also profoundly unsettling.
Augustine's figure appeared within it.
His true body was currently engaged in a fierce battle with God King Bais, so he naturally could not come in person.
However, a Clone Projection posed no great problem.
"Black River Fortress has now fallen under the control of the Heavenly Martial Dynasty, and the southeastern region of the First Layer has also been lost."
Augustine said gravely, "Blazing Fire Fortress cannot be allowed to fall as well."
"Otherwise, with our current military strength, the First Layer could change hands at any moment."
The Night King said coldly, "Withdrawing our troops is not a solution."
"Once we withdraw, the rhythm of the battle will fall completely into the Heavenly Martial Dynasty's hands."
The Platinum Apostle said in a muffled voice, "Actually, even if we do not withdraw, the rhythm of the battle has nothing to do with us."
He was not trying to demoralize them. He was merely stating a fact.
Moreover, with their emotionless way of thinking, morale suppression would hardly affect them.
"Then let the Heavenly Martial Dynasty witness our ferocity."
Spider Madam said viciously, "The Heavenly Martial Dynasty is difficult to deal with, but the other planes are the Heavenly Dao Faction's weak point."
"I heard that the Heavenly Martial Dynasty spent half a month busy forming alliances."
"They have now established allied relations."
"What do you think will happen if we turn our spearhead toward the Heavenly Martial Dynasty's allies?"
