"Uncle Liu! It's me, Shao Qiu! I'm fucking back!"

Soon, soft snoring could be heard inside the room.

Chen Fan slept soundly, and he even had a dream that he hadn't had in a long time. He wasn't a person who dreamed often, but he dreamed that the Northbank Defense Line was completely destroyed by Strange Tide that surged up from the Seabed two and a half years later.

Jiangbei fell.

Countless Living Beings perished as a result, and the Mortal Domain was the first to be destroyed. Before he died, he saw the Big Fish self-destruct.

The Cold Flames exploded within the Strange Tide, clearing out all the Strange Entities in a large area, but this empty area was quickly filled again by the endless Strange Tide. He looked at all of this with helplessness and resentment.

There are no more tricks left.

Just as he was about to be overwhelmed by the Strange Tide.

A gust of cold air wafted over.

Chen Fan jolted awake from his dream, walked out of the house and stood on the City Wall of Cave One, looking at the darkness that had faded and the sun hanging in the sky. He had slept straight through until mid-morning.

"Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey."

"Dreams and reality are opposites."

He muttered to himself.

Last night's dream was too ominous. With the Four-Year Pact drawing ever closer, he was getting a little nervous. This wasn't a game where you could try again after a failure.

If you can't complete the game in one life, you're completely out of luck.

Based on the Strange Tides he experienced on the Ancient Battlefield, the defensive line he built with 5th-Level City Walls should be able to hold them off, as long as his stockpile of Eerie Stone ammunition doesn't run out. But... no one knows whether the strength of this Strange Tide has increased over the years.

After all, even the Defense Line Seven, with its uniform Level-6 City Walls, was breached during this Rainy Season and almost completely fell.

We need to prepare more thoroughly.

It's still not appropriate enough.

After washing up and having a quick breakfast, Chen Fan headed to the Harbor to continue his work on improving the Northbank Defense Line. Perhaps it was because although he had a nightmare last night, the tension he had been feeling these past few days had been largely dissipated in the dream.

He was in quite good spirits today.

I didn't even feel tired.

After cheerfully greeting the Mortal Domain Member who passed by, he stood on the City Wall of the "Northbank Defense Line," gazing at the Seaside and pondering. He had been gone for more than three months.

In the past three months, he has laid the High-Speed Rail Tracks that run through the West Pass Plains and the Guandong Plains, and completed the construction of the Signal Towers. Meanwhile, the mining work in the New Continent has not stopped.

High-Speed Rail Tracks don't consume many Eerie Stones.

The number of Warehouses in the Mortal Domain has now risen to 30.

Every Warehouse was packed to the brim.

Currently, the Mortal Domain holds 940 million Eerie Stones Eerie Stone.

A rather exaggerated number.

Chen Fan was both happy and worried. The Eerie Stones on the New Continent would eventually be exhausted. Even though there were still many Ancient Battlefields that had been explored that had not been mined, if the Mortal Domain did not have other sources of income, it would not even be able to sustain the consumption of Eerie Stones for the Cannon Tower on the defensive line to fire when the mining was exhausted.

Even with the combined forces of the Four Regions of Jiangbei and the two regions Kansai, there aren't many Eerie Stones.

New sources of income must be found before the New Continent is fully exploited.

Defense Line Seven.

Stretching 97 kilometers, building this defensive line would require at least a billion Eerie Stones, and that's the most conservative estimate. He didn't know exactly how much more the Eternal Night Hall had spent building the City Wall compared to him, but it certainly hadn't been any less.

This doesn't even include the costs of routine maintenance and Cannon Tower use.

The Northbank Defense Line is 170 kilometers long and 170,000 meters long.

According to his plan.

Each 20 meters requires a fully upgraded Godslayer Cannon, 8,500 of which would consume a total of 321 million Eerie Stones. Of course, in reality, that many are not needed. After all, the Rainy Season Defense Line incorporated into the Northbank Defense Line, which was also built with a fully upgraded Godslayer Cannon every 20 meters, and 740 cannons had already been built.

He only needs to build another 7,760 Godslayer Cannons, which will require an additional 290 million Eerie Stones.

The Godslayer Cannon is actually a Cannon Tower with extremely high cost-effectiveness.

Upgrading requires no rare Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures; only Eerie Stones are needed. Upgrading a Godslayer Cannon to its maximum level only requires 37,800 Eerie Stones.

It has already become a threat to the Wraith King.

Under the Heavenly Dao Blessing Effect which causes damage overflow, it is also extremely powerful against "minors".

But.

The Northbank Defense Line is simply too long, covering a full 170 kilometers, requiring a significant increase in the number of Godslayer Cannons needed. Only a few were built yesterday.

To complete the entire project, many logistical buildings need to be added.

But

Today, he didn't plan to ride the Skeleton Horse along the City Wall while building; he had thought of a new, easier way. Incense Stick later...

Chen Fan stood on the deck of the Flying Boat, which hovered in Flying Boat air, tens of meters above the ground. Looking down, he could just see the City Wall directly in front of him. His Northbank Defense Line was 30 meters high.

The next moment!

The 170-kilometer-long Northbank Defense Line suddenly roared and rose from the ground, slowly advancing like a giant, Greedy Snake.

They kept passing by him.

Instead, they took advantage of this opportunity to construct a series of logistics Defensive Structure, such as the "Logistics Pavilion Godslayer Cannon," "Anti-Aircraft Cannon," "Soul-Devouring Sculpture," "Eerie Fire," and "Copper Pipe," based on the points already marked by the "Logistics Pavilion."

He doesn't need to do it himself anymore.

Instead, the City Wall moved on its own.

"That's much easier now."

Chen Fan, holding the braised Braised Delicacies in his hand, grinned as he looked down at the slowly moving City Wall below. It was definitely easier when he didn't move.

On the slowly moving City Wall below, several buildings composed of white lines suddenly appeared as the Flying Boat passed beneath it, then quickly solidified and landed on the City Wall.

The City Walls were originally bare.

Suddenly, the atmosphere became filled with murderous intent.

According to his plan, the Godslayer Cannons were to be the main Defensive Structures for the next major war, built at great expense, with one cannon spaced 20 meters apart.

The Anti-Aircraft Cannon consume the same amount of resources as the Godslayer Cannons, but their priority isn't particularly high; he built one every 100 meters.

The numbers are very precise.

However, his eyes are not a ruler, so it's difficult for him to accurately determine how far 20 meters is. Therefore, during his absence, the Logistics Pavilion has specifically measured the Northbank Defense Line and marked many points.

The "Red Mark" indicate the locations where Godslayer Cannons are built, with one cannon every 20 meters.

The "Green Mark" mark the locations for Anti-Aircraft Cannon, spaced 100 meters apart.

The "Black Mark" are located at the base of the City Wall, where the Soul-Devouring Sculptures were built, one every hundred meters.

The "Yellow Mark," also located at the base of the City Wall, were used to create Eerie Fire. These Eerie Fire were not lit directly, but connected by Copper Pipes, and were instantly lit when the Northbank Defense Line was activated to provide range for the Northbank Defense Line.

The Logistics Pavilion has perfectly marked all the punctuation marks.

He only needs to follow the punctuation marks to create it.

Perfect proportions.

This method is much more efficient.

Just then

Shao Qiu had walked to the foot of the Flying Boat, suddenly leaped into the air, lightly tapping his toes a few times before rising steadily onto the Flying Boat. He strode up to Chen Fan, glanced at the buildings being constructed on the City Wall below, and hesitated before asking, "Domain Lord, you were looking for me?"

The Domain Lord summoned him, clearly there was something he needed to discuss.

But at this moment, the Domain Lord was building a structure, and he was unsure whether to disturb him.

"Um."

Chen Fan nodded slightly, casually saying as he continued building, "You've been at the Defense Line Seven half a year now. Tell me about it, everything you know."

Shao Qiu's expression turned serious. He took out a small notebook from his pocket, quickly glanced at it, and then began to report, "On this trip, I have gathered quite a bit of information."

"Defense Line Seven is not the Eternal Night Continent Front, but a secondary defense line in the rear of the Eternal Night Continent."

"The Strange Tides we're facing aren't as overwhelming as those on the Frontline, but they're still the biggest I've ever seen in my life. Even outside of the Rainy Season, the Strange Tides Strange Tide usually overwhelming."

"Tens of millions of Strange Entities, after nightfall, emerge from the sea and launch an attack on the defenses, fearless of death."

"Defense Line Seven, a total length of 97 kilometers."

"A common Cannon Tower is a Green Grade Cannon Tower called the 'Sword Rain Cannon Tower.' Upgrading it to the maximum level requires no rare Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures; one turret can be crafted with 100,000 Eerie Stones."

"One is placed every ten meters."

"This is an area-of-effect Cannon Tower, primarily used to deal with extremely large numbers of Strange Tide."

"In addition, there is another type called 'Dark Tower,' a Yellow Grade Defensive Structure, one every Thousand Meters, used to deal with the Greater Wraith in the Strange Tide. It has a single-target attack with extremely high power, but its consumption is also extremely high."

"There are still quite a few Anti-Aircraft Cannon left, etc."

"On a vast Open Ground outside the Defense Line Seven, a large-scale planting of 'Eerie Eggplants' has been carried out. This is a special kind of Exotic Plant that can cause a huge explosion when touched after it matures. It takes a year to mature and cannot be moved. Once mature, it will automatically sprout its head."

"After the Rainy Season ends, the Defense Line Seven will arrange for people to plant 'Eerie Eggplant' seeds on a large scale outside the City Walls. When the Rainy Season is about to arrive next year, the seeds will be ripe and these Eerie Eggplants will welcome the first large-scale Strange Tide of the Rainy Season."

"The source of the Eerie Stones in Defense Line Seven mainly comes from three aspects."

"The first one."

"The Eerie Stones obtained from killing Strange Entities outside of the Rainy Season can sometimes completely cover the day's defense expenses, Strange Entities you can also accumulate excess Eerie Stones to prepare for the next Rainy Season."

"The second one."

"The Eternal Night Hall provides support, but they rarely provide direct support to the Eerie Stones Eternal Night Hall. For example, before this Rainy Season, many forces in the Guandong Plains refused to provide Eerie Stones to the Defense Line Seven."

"The Eternal Night Hall temporarily dispatched one person from the nearby area, who traveled by Flying Boat to the Guandong Plains and forcefully seized the Eerie Stone Reserves of all forces in the Guandong Plains."

"And this move also led to..."

"When the Defense Line Seven was breached during the Rainy Season, the various factions on the Guandong Plains were virtually powerless to resist. The Cannon Tower on the faction City Walls didn't even fire for long before running out of Eerie Stones and going silent."

"Of course, even if they have plenty of Eerie Stones, it's useless. The Undersea Strange Tides will break through the defenses and enter the land. City Wall of ordinary strength simply cannot stop them."

The third one.

"It's all the support from various factions, and the fewest Eerie Stones we get from here."

Chen Fan nodded slightly, paused for a moment, and then frowned slightly before asking, "Do you know how many Eerie Stones the Defense Line Seven consumes every day?"

"I don't know the specifics; I don't have access to that information," Shao Qiu pondered. "However, the Defense Line Seven doesn't have Copper Pipes, and the Eerie Stone consumed by the Cannon Tower need to be manually replenished."

"I observed the wear and tear on one of the Cannon Tower."

"A single Sword Rain Cannon Tower consumes approximately 700 Eerie Stones Eerie Stone day."

"Defense Line Seven has a total of 9,700 'Sword Rain Cannon Tower.' If all the Sword Rain Cannon Tower on the line are activated, the daily consumption of Eerie Stones Eerie Stone be around 6.8 million."

"Plus other expenses."

"The number of Eerie Stones consumed per day is approximately 6.8 million to 8 million."

"But"

"Under Rainy Season circumstances, the number of Strange Tide won't be too high, and they won't simultaneously impact the entire defensive line. It's rare for all Cannon Tower to be activated at once, so generally speaking, resource consumption should be reduced."

"Under Rainy Season conditions, the daily consumption of the Defense Line Seven is around 4 million Eerie Stones."

"During the Rainy Season, the daily consumption of the Defense Line Seven rises to around 10 million Eerie Stones, or even more."

"Bi Jing"

"During the Rainy Season, there are more Strange Tides. Whether it's repairing the City Walls or maintaining the Cannon Tower, a large amount of Eerie Stones are needed, and most of these Eerie Stones are dropped by Strange Entities."

Chen Fan remained silent. Consuming 4 million Eerie Stones a day outside of the Rainy Season was indeed a considerable amount; over a month, that amounted to 120 million Eerie Stones.

In addition, there are 300 million Eerie Stones from the Rainy Season.

The total consumption of the Defense Line Seven throughout the year is around 1.62 billion Eerie Stones.

This is an extremely exaggerated number.

The Mortal Domain, backed by the New Continent, couldn't accumulate nearly that many Eerie Stones in three months. Building a defense line isn't the end of the story; the same applies to his Northbank Defense Line. He needed to reserve enough Eerie Stones for the consumption of Cannon Tower and other buildings.

The Defense Line Seven is located on the Coastline of the Guandong Plains.

Like a money-devouring machine.

It requires 1.62 billion Eerie Stones every year.

These 1.62 billion Eerie Stones have resulted in the fact that areas such as the "West Pass Plains" have not experienced the impact of Undersea Strange Tides, such large-scale Strange Tides with tens of millions of stones, for nearly a century.

After a long pause.

He then continued speaking.

How much do you know about the Eternal Night Hall?

"Kindness"

After pondering for a moment, Shao Qiu said, "This force is the largest 'organization' in the Eternal Night Continent, not a force. Any force willing to contribute to the Eternal Night Continent can join this force."

"There are no monthly fees or rewards after joining."

But contributions are needed.

"To contribute to protecting the Eternal Night Continent is less about one organization and more about all the forces on the Eternal Night Continent joining together to protect it."

"Where there are Eerie Stones, there will be more Eerie Stones."

"Some people are born into this world."

"If you have nothing, go and build some basic structures, such as communication Stations, to maintain communication between different areas." "Since your faction doesn't even have Builder, go to those factions that haven't joined the Eternal Night Hall and demand Eerie Stones."

"And the person in charge of the Defense Line Seven has never even met the Lord of the Eternal Night Hall, nor has he ever been to the heart of the Eternal Night Continent. He is Eastern Pass of Northeast China."

"He was originally the leader of a powerful force."

"Later, the force was destroyed, and the original leader died. He was appointed to the overall leadership in a time of crisis, responsible for the overall coordination of the Defense Line Seven." "Moreover..."

"Before the last Rainy Season, because the accumulated Eerie Stones from that year were insufficient, the Defense Line Seven sent support to the Eternal Night Hall. The Eternal Night Hall initially refused, but later responded, saying that it had done its best to allocate 100 million Eerie Stones to the Guandong Plains."

"But"

"On the way, due to Mole leak, the Strange Entity Clan received the news and forcibly broke through a secondary defense line at all costs, intercepting the batch of Eerie Stones as they passed through the 'Autumnbright Basin'."

The Flying Boat was sunk.

"The Eternal Night Hall informed Defense Line Seven of this news, stating that there were no more Eerie Stones available to support Defense Line Seven at the moment, and hoping that Defense Line Seven could hold out as long as possible."

Chen Fan suddenly stopped forging, and the City Wall that had been slowly moving beneath the Flying Boat also stopped. He frowned and turned to look at Shao Qiu: "You just said... Mole?"

He didn't understand.

If two forces are at war with each other, it's normal to have Mole.

But how could there be Mole in a war between Strange Entities and humans? Would humans choose to side with the Strange Entities?

"Um."

Shao Qiu nodded. "The reason why the battle situation on the Eternal Night Continent Front is so critical this time is largely because with the Eternal Nightfall, many Strange Entities have awakened a certain level of intelligence and know how to use tactics."

"Very difficult to deal with."

"Various feints and attacks have made the Frontline very tense."

"At the same time, almost everyone, including those in the Eternal Night Hall, knew that the Eternal Night Continent most likely wouldn't survive this, but they were still doing everything in their power to stop it. Even if they couldn't hold out, they couldn't let the Strange Tide land so easily, and as long as they persisted, a miracle would eventually happen." "Some Strange Entities would infiltrate the Eternal Night Hall through various means, promising that as long as humans were willing to submit to them at this time, they would create an area for these sensible humans to live in when their Strange Entity Clan completely occupied the Eternal Night Continent."

"People will fight desperately when they have no way out, but once they have a way out, even if it seems slim, they are easily swayed."

Eternal Night Hall

"There are quite a few Mole."

"The Strange Entity Clan at the Frontline are unable to come to the Guandong Plains due to rule restrictions, but they desperately hope that the Guandong Plains will fall, so that the Eternal Night Continent will be caught in a dilemma and fall into chaos."

"This will greatly reduce the pressure on the Frontline."

"That's why, upon learning that the Eternal Night Hall was supplying the Guandong Plains the Eerie Stones, they spared no effort to attack the secondary defenses and block the arrival of these Eerie Stones, even if the cost would far exceed the quantity of these 100 million Eerie Stones."

As far as I know.

"Both the Strange Entity Clan and the Eternal Night Hall have learned of the gap in the Northbank Defense Line. The Strange Entity Clan is constantly inquiring about when the Eternal Night Hall will deploy its defenses in Jiangbei."

"Preparing to repeat the same trick."

"Let the Strange Tide from Jiangbei land in Jiangbei, move south into the West Pass Plains, then coordinate from within and without to take down Defense Line Seven, and then head east into the heart of the Eternal Night Continent."

Chen Fan remained silent for a long time. He knew that the battle on the Eternal Night Front was urgent, but he did not expect it to be this urgent. It seemed that the Frontline could still hold out, but the "Northbank Defense Line" and the "Defense Line Seven" had become the top priorities.

Once these two lines of defense are breached...

The entire Eternal Night Continent, this colossal entity, could very well disintegrate instantly as a result.

The decay of a Crab does not begin from the moment it dies.

The same applies to the Eternal Night Continent.

Even if we force a stop-loss and cut our losses, losing a large area, defending the remaining area will definitely be more difficult.

"So the main reason why Defense Line Seven nearly fell during the Rainy Season was the insufficient number of Eerie Stone?"

"Yes."

Shao Qiu sighed, "Last year, the Defense Line Seven didn't accumulate many Eerie Stones. The number of Eerie Stones that can be accumulated each year is uncertain; it all depends on luck."

"Before the Rainy Season arrived, they received news that the Eternal Night Hall was unable to provide support."

"They placed their hopes on the West Pass Plains, hoping that the various forces West Pass Plains could lend a helping hand. Even though the Defense Line Seven knew perfectly well that the forces in the West Pass Plains didn't have enough Eerie Stones to support the operation of a defense line, they still sent out a distress call, clinging to a sliver of hope."

Only a handful of factions responded.

Most forces chose to ignore it.

"Among them was a force called 'Hate Heaven Sect,' which only provided one Eerie Stone. Among the dozens of forces that chose to respond, 'Slaying Immortal Holy Land' contributed the most."

"5 million Eerie Stones were provided as support."

"A total of 7.78 million Eerie Stones were collected. Although it was a drop in the bucket, it did allow the No. Defense Line Seven on the Guandong Plains to hold out for one more day during the Rainy Season." That is, one extra day.

"The Defense Line Seven was met by the 'Night Watchers' sent by the Eternal Night Hall, along with seven Celestial Master -level Builder and a large number of Eerie Stones." "The Night Watchers activated themselves, clearing out most of the Strange Entities that had entered the Guandong Plains. After holding out until dawn, the seven Celestial Master -level Builder began to quickly repair the defense line and clear out the remaining Strange Entities in the Guandong Plains."

"That's how we survived the Rainy Season again."

"Only"

"The intrusion of the Strange Tide has already reduced the population of the Guandong Plains to less than three-tenths. If the Eternal Night Hall hadn't arrived in time, the Strange Tide would have swept into the West Pass Plains, and even into the heart of the Eternal Night Continent."

"The Night Watcher's Watch's power isn't that great."

Chen Fan shook his head.

"That was a Night Watcher was just one step away from Cultivation Martial Saint."

A level 10 Cultivator is Martial King, a level 20 Cultivator is Martial Emperor, and Level 30 Cultivator is Martial Saint.

"But the information I have is that Night Watcher cannot practice martial arts."

"That's how it is normally." Shao Qiu nodded. "Night Watchers can't cultivate, but the Eternal Night Hall has a special method that can forcibly increase the Cultivation of Eternal Night Watchers, thereby increasing their power after activation. However, their bodies cannot withstand this activation."

"Once activated, it won't just shorten one's lifespan, but cause the death of both the person and their soul."

"The Eternal Night Hall eventually sent people, but to avoid leaks of the plan by Mole, they used a group of absolutely Trust individuals and took an alternate transportation route, which caused a delay."

"If it weren't for the support of the Eerie Stones from the West Pass Plains, when the Eternal Night Hall sent people to the Guandong Plains, what they would have seen would not have been the dilapidated Defense Line Seven, but Defense Line Seven completely razed to the ground, and the Guandong Plains already in chaos and disorder."

"But"

"According to the message from the Eternal Night Hall."

"These seven Celestial Masters did not return safely to the Eternal Night Hall; instead, they died in the heart of the Eternal Night Continent. The wounds were not caused by Strange Entities, but rather... fatal wounds from Dagger piercing their necks."

Some people believed the offer of amnesty from the Strange Entity Clan.

"And they presented a pledge of allegiance."

"The number of Eerie Stones accumulated by the 'Defense Line Seven' this year is still insufficient. We have contacted the Eternal Night Hall, but this time their response was that they would try their best to raise more, but the chances are clearly slim."

Shao Qiu has finished his report.

After finishing his report, he stood behind Chen Fan without saying a word, and he tried his best to present all the information without any subjective emotion.

He didn't mention that he had made many friends on the Defense Line Seven.

He didn't say that if he hadn't joined the Mortal Domain first, but instead gone to the Guandong Plains, he might have died on the Defense Line Seven like those people. Especially when he saw several of his newly made friends die in the impact of the Strange Tide.

His desire for revenge made him unwilling to flee.

They'd rather die at Defense Line Seven.

The environment there was so infectious that it made him deeply resentful of those Mole. If it weren't for the Mole, the Eternal Night Continent wouldn't be in such a predicament, and the Defense Line Seven wouldn't be in such a difficult situation either.

The City Wall continued to move slowly, and Chen Fan continued to build the buildings, remaining silent for a long time.

One master and one servant.

The two of them stood quietly on the Flying Boat without saying a word.

After a long while.

Chen Fan said softly, "I will send reinforcements to the Defense Line Seven. You will personally go there, and don't tell the Defense Line Seven that the reinforcements came from the Jiangbei Mortal Domain. Just say that the reinforcements are from Nameless force."

"If you can."

"Try to ensure that Defense Line Seven doesn't report this matter to the Eternal Night Hall."

Shao Qiu was slightly taken aback, then straightened his expression and replied, "Yes!"

He knew that the Mortal Domain was also facing an extremely difficult situation. The Northbank Undersea Strange Tide were about to make landfall, and the Mortal Domain had not received a single Eerie Stone from the Eternal Night Hall as a form of assistance.

"It is 97 kilometers long."

Chen Fan murmured, "That's 97,000 meters. If we place one Soul-Devouring Sculpture every 100 meters, we'd need about 970 Soul-Devouring Sculptures." "Each Soul-Devouring Sculpture costs 2,600 Eerie Stones."

"The total is what's needed."

"Approximately 2.5 million Eerie Stones."

Before the Rainy Season.

The first aid that the Mortal Domain provided to the Defense Line Seven was 970 Soul- Soul-Devouring Sculptures, each of which can reduce the Ammunition Consumption of all Cannon Tower within its range by 40%.

This is of great help to the Defense Line Seven.

Previously, the Rainy Season required 10 million Eerie Stones per day, but with the Soul-Devouring Cannon Tower, it only requires about 6 million Eerie Stones. He can't give too many Eerie Stones.

He didn't even have enough Eerie Stones.

However, he couldn't just stand by and watch the Defense Line Seven fall. In addition to the Soul-Devouring Sculpture, he could also provide the Defense Line Seven with a batch of Copper Pipes, Altars, and Godslayer Cannons, which would greatly enhance the defense and firepower of the Defense Line Seven City Wall.

However, Copper Pipes cannot be transported via High-Speed Rail.

He needs to personally go to the Defense Line Seven to build it.

He's still considering it.

Before he had enough strength to protect himself, he was unwilling to have too much contact with the Eternal Night Hall, because no one knew if some Mole would leak his information to the Strange Entity Clan.

Unless

Anonymous, pseudonym.

That's one way to do it.

Although we can't hide it for long, every little bit helps, and every bit of time we can buy for the Mortal Domain to develop is precious. The Mortal Domain is desperately short of time right now. If only the war could be put on hold.

Let's pause for a while and let him develop for fifty years, then he'll have nothing to fear.

After a long while.

The City Wall stopped moving. Chen Fan paused his construction work and turned to Shao Qiu: "How did the Defense Line Seven and the Eternal Night Hall establish communication?" It's said to be through the Parent-Child Stone.

"An Exotic Treasure of extremely high quality, capable of ultra-long-distance communication. The Four Regions of Jiangbei and the two regions of Kansai are located on the edge of the Eternal Night Continent, and there are not enough communication Stations established in this area."

"Are there any forces in the West Pass Plains that can contact the Eternal Night Hall?"

"No."

"Knew."

Chen Fan looked up at the sky and then laughed, "When I told you to leave, I noticed you hesitated a bit. Did you make some friends at the Defense Line Seven?" Hmm.

Shao Qiu's eyes darted around, a little embarrassed.

"Did you harbor any resentment when I asked you to leave without saying goodbye?"

"I wouldn't dare."

"If you don't dare, then you do."

Chen Fan paused for a moment before gazing at the Sea and saying softly, "The Frontline defenses of the New Continent were all Level-10 City Walls, but so what? The New Continent has been completely ravaged."

I want to live.

"I want to help everyone in the Mortal Domain survive, endure the Eternal Night, and see the sunrise."

"We must be cautious enough before we proceed."

"A soldier in armor helping a starving beggar is doing a favor."

"For a mischievous child to help a starving beggar is to gamble with his life."

"If you have one piece of bread to give away, it means you have more bread to give away."

"One piece of bread won't fill you up."

"The Mortal Domain is still too weak. Exposing it to the Eternal Night Hall and the Strange Entity Clan too early is not a good thing for us."

It's already early July.

"The Rainy Season isn't far off, and nobody can say for sure if it will arrive early Rainy Season the Guandong Plains. Providing some early support will put the Defense Line Seven at ease and also allow them to save on some of the Eerie Stones."

"Today I will create a batch of Soul-Devouring Sculptures. You will lead the team, and tomorrow they will be Defense Line Seven via High-Speed Rail."

"Yes!"

Shao Qiu nodded emphatically, somewhat excited.

After Shao Qiu left.

Chen Fan stood on the edge of the Flying Boat deck, stretching comfortably. The construction plan for the Northbank Defense Line today was temporarily suspended. First, 1,000 Soul-Devouring Sculptures would be built and sent to the Defense Line Seven.

The extra 30 are reserves, intended for use on the Defense Line Seven.

This was the first time he had come into contact with so much information about the Eternal Night Hall.

After learning about this force...

He suddenly felt much more at ease, knowing that at least a major force was working tirelessly for the Eternal Night Continent, giving him the feeling that he wasn't fighting alone.

He also has teammates.

At least

Based on the information we have so far, this is an organization without much self-interest. Its only mission is to defend every line of defense as well as possible, and many people are willing to risk their lives for this organization.

Based on current information.

He could find ways to solve several problems facing the Eternal Night Hall. For example, he could dig an underground High-Speed Rail Tunnel between the Core Areas to ensure the safe transport of supplies and the safe return of Builder and others, without being blocked by Strange Entities.

Moreover, its speed is not much slower than that of Flying Boat.

Simply Weiwei isn't enough.

However, if he could establish a deep partnership with the Eternal Night Hall, he believed that getting them to find him a group of the Eternal Night Hall Sky-Swallowing Crocodiles shouldn't be too difficult. "Let's get through the Strange Tide two and a half years from now."

He lay on the edge of the Flying Boat, gazing at the surging Sea. He had never witnessed the Undersea Strange Tide Landing, and he didn't know if he could hold it off. The next day.

The Eternal Night Calendar, year 380, July 7th.

Shao Qiu led the team onto the High-Speed Rail bound for the "Guandong Plains". The High-Speed Rail carriages were not covered with energy shields, but each carriage was equipped with two Soul-Devouring Sculptures. The Domain Lord had built a giant High-Speed Rail with more than 500 carriages.

Each carriage contains two Soul-Devouring Sculptures.

It was nearing noon.

The High-Speed Rail slowly departed from the Mortal Domain, heading south along the High-Speed Rail Track, passing through Jiangnan, and arriving at the West Pass Plains. Amidst the curious gazes of various forces, it continued southward, heading towards the Guandong Plains.

This is the first time that Mortal Domain High-Speed Rail has been conducted without Mortal Domain Banner.

The Guandong Plains and the West Pass Plains are both extremely large plains.

Especially when there are fewer Caravans traveling between them.

Information exchange between the two locations is virtually nonexistent.

The Mortal Domain is well-known in the West Pass Plains, but few people in the Guandong Plains know about it.

Night was approaching.

The quiet Defense Line Seven gradually began to bustle with activity; the Eternal Night was about to descend, and preparations needed to begin.

The Middle-Aged Man who had lost both legs, as usual, got his food on crutches and walked to the table next to him to eat. After the meal, he planned to go to sleep, as he had nothing to do at night; he was in charge of recruitment Daytime.

After nightfall, there was nothing he could do to help with the Defense Line Seven.

This time he only ordered one meal.

After getting his food, Uncle Liu looked at the empty seat in front of him and couldn't help but subconsciously turn around. He felt that the guy was standing behind him, grinning and greeting him as usual.

But a crowd of people was coming and going behind them.

But that guy was nowhere to be seen.

Realizing what had happened, he shook his head and chuckled, then picked up his bowl and chopsticks to eat, as if mocking himself. He was much older than the guy, but in this place, friendships between people of different ages were quite normal.

When he saw that guy, it was like seeing his younger self.

Fearless, brave, confident.

Just like myself when I was young.

But he's Intelligence than he was in his youth; if he had run away back then, he wouldn't have lost his legs.

Just then

The surrounding crowd suddenly became noisy. Uncle Liu was slightly taken aback, put down his chopsticks and subconsciously looked up at the front line. Could it be that the Strange Tide had already arrived before nightfall? But he soon realized that the people around him were looking behind him.

He turned and looked around.

A long dragon was seen speeding Guandong Plains at an extremely fast speed, heading towards them and constantly honking its horn.

"Beep beep!!"

The piercing sound dispelled the Gray Fog.

This brought a glimmer of life to the previously somewhat dull Defense Line Seven, a change that hadn't occurred in months. Discussions arose around them.

"What is that? I've never seen it before."

"Could it be reinforcements from the Eternal Night Hall?"

"Finally, we've received reinforcements! Does that mean we have a chance to survive this Rainy Season?"

Uncle Liu didn't speak, but his eyes immediately reddened. Leaning on his Walking Stick, he stood as straight as possible, looked at the long line of cars, and laughed, his voice trembling as he chuckled and scolded, "That brat."

All I could see was the first carriage of the long train line.

The guy was leaning out, grinning as usual, waving and shouting at him.

"Uncle Liu!!"

"Uncle Liu! It's me, Shao Qiu, I'm fucking back!"

The Mortal Domain High-Speed Rail stopped approximately Thousand Meters away from the Defense Line Seven.

This is the end of the track.

Many members of the Defense Line Seven surrounded him, and Uncle Liu swung his Walking Stick forcefully, trying his best to be at the forefront.

Uncle Liu.

Shao Qiu jumped off the High-Speed Rail, grinned at Uncle Liu, and said, "Haven't seen you for a few days, missed me? Did I upset you by leaving without saying goodbye back then?"

"I'm a rather old-fashioned person. Once I've acknowledged a master, I have to listen to what he says."

"When I was at my lowest point in life, it was my master who took me in."

"My master is aware of the situation at Defense Line Seven."

"They specifically sent me to deliver support."

"Here."

He pointed to a High-Speed Rail carriage behind him filled with sculptures. "Soul-Devouring Sculptures can reduce Cannon Tower Ammunition Consumption by 40%. This batch of Soul-Devouring Sculptures is enough to cover the entire Defense Line Seven."

The words had barely left his mouth.

The members of the Defense Line Seven froze on the spot, their eyes filled with horror. After a long while, they finally reacted, excitedly banging on each other, their mouths opening and closing as if they wanted to say something, but they couldn't utter a single word. They could only slap the people next to them forcefully.

Reduce Ammunition Consumption by 40%.

These are not support Eerie Stones.

However, it is far superior to the Eerie Stone, which means that countless Eerie Stones have been saved.

This means they might be able to survive this Rainy Season.

"Hurry... hurry."

Uncle Liu's lips turned white, and his whole body trembled with excitement as he looked at the person beside him and urged urgently, "Quick, go find the Elder Seven, quick!" He wanted to say something else, but after hearing about the effect of the broken Soul-Devouring Sculpture, he could no longer care about anything else.

The Elder Seven are the chief persons in charge of the Defense Line Seven.

This is not a name.

It's a code name.

Anyone who becomes the head of the Defense Line Seven will be called the Elder Seven.

"Don't bother looking, I'm right here."

The crowd dispersed.

An Elderly Man with white hair, followed by two or three others, was riding Skeleton Horse at high speed. As they approached the crowd, the old man nimbly dismounted and looked at Shao Qiu with slightly reddened eyes, speaking in a hoarse voice.

"Can it really reduce Cannon Tower Ammunition Consumption by 40%?"

Absolutely no falsehood.

Shao Qiu said seriously.

How many are there?

"1,000 of them, enough to cover the entire Defense Line Seven."

"Are you all sent by the Eternal Night Hall?"

"No."

Shao Qiu shook his head. "It was a helper sent by the Palace Master, but due to some special circumstances, the Blind Master is unwilling to reveal the name of his faction, and also hopes that you, Elder Seven, can keep this helper a secret from Ye Ye Palace. It was actually something you picked up in the wild."

"No problem, no problem, no problem."

The elderly Elderly Man, his face trembling with worry, gazed at the hundreds of neatly arranged Soul-Devouring Sculptures in the carriages, his voice trembling, and said, "Regardless of which faction you come from, the entire Defense Line Seven thanks you for this kindness."

"Only"

"The higher-ups can only Suppression Defense Line Seven and can't help you much. It's very difficult for the grave to repay your kindness."

"The defense of the town is like the Defense Line Seven, which is the greatest favor to the palace, and also the greatest favor to the Northern Four Lands and the Kansai region."

The Elder Seven were slightly taken aback, then their voices choked with emotion. After taking a deep breath to compose themselves, they managed a smile, "Come, this way, please. I'll have someone prepare the Banquet."

The Banquet is unnecessary.

Shao Qiu shook his head and pointed to the darkening sky above. "It's getting dark. We should hurry up and set up the 'Soul-Devouring Sculpture.' The sooner we do it, the sooner we'll save on the Eerie Stones."

"Elder Seven, what do you say?"

"I'll listen to you!"
