With Flesh and Blood, Build a Wall of Protection!
[Just when everything was so oppressive.]
Liu Tian slowly stood up inside the iron cage.
The heavy shackles prevented him from lifting his head, yet the trembling old man uttered a deafening roar.
"Yingzi!! I only regret that I'm too old and don't have the ability to kill these Alien Race!"
You have a great commander leading you to fight the enemy; it's a blessing from our ancestors!!
Live on, and take back what's to come from Dad!
Dad left first!!!
[Liu Tian used all his strength to smash his head against the iron bars of the cage, dying instantly.]
["Father!!!"]
[On the battlefield, Liu Ying's eyes were bloodshot with rage.]
[Having witnessed the tragic death of his father, his only family, before his very eyes, it would be difficult for Liu Ying, now the deputy commander of the Righteous Army, not to be overwhelmed by his emotions.]
[She wanted to rush over and fight Kaideli to the death, but was held back tightly by the Righteous Army general beside her.]
"Vice Commander! Don't go!"
["That's my dad!!"]
[Liu Ying's voice was hoarse, and tears streamed down her face.]
[Liu Tian, in his own way, instructed the hostage families of the Righteous Army present on what to do.]
More and more people began to follow suit.
[Upon seeing this, Kaideli was so angry that his mouth twisted in disbelief.]
"Stop them! We can't let them die!"
[Kaideli's men tied the hostages to the iron bars with ropes to prevent them from banging their heads against them.]
[Yet some people are still committing suicide by biting their tongues.]
[Kaideli had no choice but to have the soldiers gag the hostages again.]
Every time the hostages devised a way to commit suicide, Kaideli had to find a way to stop them.
"Damn it! What kind of mess is this! I'm actually going through all this trouble to keep them alive, is this what I'm supposed to be doing?"
[The Righteous Army watched their loved ones being forced to die; though their hearts were tormented and their anger burned, their faith remained unshaken.]
They gathered near the Star Boat to protect their "Freedom".
[Meanwhile, thanks to the desperate efforts of the Formation Master, the Departure Ceremony of the Star Harbor commenced.]
[Within the enormous, seven-colored pillar of light that shot into the sky, streams of starlight began to emerge and slowly rise.]
[This mysterious force, carrying the enormous Star Boat, gradually rose into the sky.]
[At the same time.]
[The Western Righteous Army's plan to lure the enemy was foiled, and the Eagle Legion returned.]
[Tens of thousands of Winged Race soared through the air, attacking from all directions, their target clear: the Star Boat.]
[Also returning were a dozen or so White-Robed Priest and their numerous retinues.]
[When Cadley below saw that his plan had failed, he ordered his own troops and the soldiers stationed at the Star Harbor to attack your Star Boat.]
[The Righteous Army initially had a numerical advantage, but now the enemy outnumbers Righteous Army several times over.]
[Layer upon layer, completely surrounding Star Harbor.]
"Kill!! Annihilate the rebels!!"
"Whoever captures Chen Yi alive will be rewarded with one million Source Stone!"
"What White Porridge Uprising Army? Today, Star Harbor will be your Burial Ground!"
Enemies are everywhere, in the sky and on the ground.
[The Yixiantian Array requires a large amount of materials as its base. Although you have collected quite a bit over the years, setting up the formation takes time, and the enemy obviously won't just stand by and watch.]
[Furthermore, once in the Real Realm, the so-called "immortal array" in the Void Realm is actually just Fourth-Rank Array in the Real Realm, and its actual effectiveness is greatly reduced.]
[Therefore, there's currently no effective way to counter flying enemies.]
[Furthermore, in the distant sky, you can clearly see a red figure standing in mid-air.]
That was a Red-Robed Cardinal!
[He wasn't actually flying; he was just Winged Race, which is why he could fly.]
[The Red-Robed Cardinal, who hasn't personally dealt with the Righteous Army until now, has actually arrived!]
[Tens of thousands of the Righteous Army gripped their weapons, turned their backs to their comrades, their eyes filled not with fear, but with boundless hatred.]
[You stand atop the Star Boat, your gaze sweeping across the surroundings, preparing to face the Eagle Legion.]
"Soldiers, board the ship quickly! I will hold off the enemy for you!"
[You punch a control lever on the Star Boat, and countless ropes and ladders are lowered around the Star Boat, allowing many people to board at the same time.]
The Righteous Army never disobey your orders, but this time, no one boarded the ship.
"What's wrong? Yingzi? General Cheng? General Qin? Why aren't you boarding the ship yet? If you don't board now, you'll miss your chance!"
[Liu Ying turned to look at you and gave a bitter smile.]
"General, we can't leave..."
[You said in a deep voice.]
"I know it's difficult, but we'll go as far as we can. Isn't this our original plan? Didn't we think of this a long time ago?"
[Ideally, you would expand the Star Boat to carry 100,000 people.]
[But in practice, everyone knows that even if it were possible to leave, it wouldn't be possible for that many people to leave.]
[Everyone could foresee that the battle for Star Harbor would be brutal, with less than one in ten surviving.]
[But right now, it's quite unexpected that none of the Righteous Army have left.]
[The enemy continues to close in.]
Their ranged attack methods have already been deployed.
["Whoosh whoosh!!"]
[Each member of the Eagle Legion carries a backpack full of javelins.]
[They flew at incredible speed through the air, using this initial velocity to throw the javelins with tremendous force, giving them an even more terrifying impact.]
["Bang bang bang!!"]
[Each javelin could pierce through the Star Boat from one end to the other, leaving a huge hole.]
[The holes are multiplying; the Star Boat is being dismantled.]
You've blocked many attacks.
[But it's inconvenient for you to grow bigger.]
[If you grow too big, the Star Boat won't be able to hold you, you won't be as agile when defending, and you might even accidentally crush the Star Boat while trying to protect Star Boat.]
You can only try to intercept enemy attacks.
["Ah!"]
[Enduring the excruciating pain of broken bones, you utilize Wolverine's bone manipulation abilities to extend your left hand's metacarpal bone from the back of your hand and use it as a weapon, "crack, crack, crack" slicing through numerous javelins.]
[Your right hand is like a "Qilin Arm," incredibly hard, which you use as a shield.]
[You also possess the powerful Shen Family art, <Star River Divine Skill>.]
[Controlling gravity in the Real Realm is extremely difficult, but even slightly altering the trajectory of those javelins to prevent them from hitting the Star Boat's core would be quite practical.]
[In the midst of the fierce battle, you witnessed a scene that shocked you.]
[The Righteous Army soldiers swarmed onto the surface of the Star Boat Star Boat, clinging desperately to anything they could grab, their feet planted on the shoulders of those below them.]
They forged a suit of armor for the Star Boat with their own flesh and blood!
["Pfft pfft pfft!"]
[One was killed by a javelin, but another took its place; the soldiers charged forward wave after wave, fearless in the face of death!]
"Protect the Star Boat!"
"The Star Boat must not be destroyed!"
"General! Get on the ship! You must leave!"
You discover that someone is commanding the Righteous Army.
[It's not you.]
[It was Liu Ying, it was Cheng Guang, and it was many generals of the Righteous Army.]
The way they protected the Star Boat didn't seem like a spur-of-the-moment decision; it looked like they'd rehearsed it for a long time.
["you..."]
[You see Liu Ying, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth, giving you a bitter smile as she speaks.]
"I'm sorry, Commander, we've been discussing some things with you behind your back..."
[Liu Ying and her team considered what they should do if the enemy's resistance was too great during the battle of Star Harbor, making it difficult for them to leave.]
The answer is: If you can leave, everyone will leave according to your plan; if you can't leave, they'll do everything in their power to make you leave!
["Yingzi, the commander-in-chief doesn't need you to do this..."]
"But Commander, has there ever been a case where the death of the commander brings forth the life of the soldiers?"
