Each corps is moving to its designated position.
Meanwhile, the sea outside the ice wall was already covered with countless strange beasts.
Qin Ze unleashed a burst of Blazing Sun Fire, instantly clearing a large vacuum zone.
However, in the very next second, new monsters will emerge from the sea and fill the empty area again.
Yue Sheng said, "They can't be killed all of them."
"Hurry up and build the bridge to the other side."
Qin Ze nodded slightly.
Everything will be alright once the cross-sea bridge opens to traffic.
Qin Ze and A Sheng's teamwork became increasingly seamless.
One person builds an island, another person locks the door.
In the blink of an eye, more than twenty Beacon Islands stood in a neat row, stretching towards the opposite shore.
Qin Ze looked up and could vaguely see the coastline in the distance.
Thousand Faces then said on the Local Area Network, "Be careful when you get ashore, Niuniu said he has prepared a big surprise for you."
"I originally wanted to take on the job of guarding the coastline, but Niuniu transferred me to guard the Tomb of the Gods."
The Dharma King said, "What use are you if you can't be of any use at crucial moments?"
Thousand Faces shrugged, looking utterly helpless.
Niuniu said that good steel should be used where it's most needed.
"They say sending me to guard the beach is a waste of my talents."
Qin Ze asked in a deep voice, "How is the Goddess of the Earth?"
Thousand Faces sighed, "The alien beasts are continuously sending troops into that area. I reckon the situation is not optimistic."
Hearing that there was a steady stream of alien beasts coming to support them, Qin Ze felt that the Goddess of the Earth was still holding on, at least she hadn't collapsed.
Otherwise, the sea wouldn't just be teeming with strange beasts; Meng Die and the others would probably have appeared long ago.
"Faster, faster!"
Every time Qin Ze placed a spatial gate, the Blazing Sun Fire would erupt around the island, instantly annihilating thousands of strange beasts.
This was the last bit of support he could provide for the subsequent landing forces.
The strange beasts surged toward the Beacon Islands like Tide.
The island's 500-strong garrison would be overwhelmed in less than ten minutes.
There were no wounded, and certainly no prisoners.
When the last mushroom cloud of self-destruction rises, it means there are no more defenders left on the island.
Immediately afterwards, a reserve team of 500 people will be teleported to the island through a spatial portal.
Soldiers against soldiers, kings against kings.
Even Level Nine Martial Artist thrown into this vast sea of beasts wouldn't be able to make a ripple.
Yan Miao on the ice wall and said to Qin Ze, "If this continues, my men will be wiped out!"
Qin Ze's voice was as calm as water in an ancient well. "Guarding the spatial gate is the mission of your Second Legion."
Yan Miao shouted, "They were all born of their own mothers, they shouldn't die such a pathetic death!"
Whoever's soldiers they are, they care about them.
The Brother Devour was like this before.
Qin Ze replied, "Do I not have a mother, or do you not have a mother?"
"Everyone standing here is born of a mother!"
"They guarded the lifeline of the Alliance; their deaths were not ignominious."
"Do you think it's honorable to be wiped out by a single slap from the Strange God?"
Yan Miao wanted to argue further. "But..."
Qin Ze interrupted him, "This is war!"
"You will die, I will die, Old Xing will die, A Sheng will die too!"
"Now... no one can remain uninvolved."
"If we can't reach the other side of the sea, Myriad Races will come to an end."
Yan Miao remained silent for a long time before saying, "I can't just stand here and watch. I need to stay with them."
Qin Ze sighed, "Go."
"Your Second Legion's mission is to defend this vital artery."
"Even if we fight to the last man, we must ensure that every portal remains standing."
Previously, Qin Ze had planned to have the Second Legion serve as the vanguard for the beach assault.
However, the number and frequency of attacks by the sea monsters far exceeded his expectations.
The Second Legion is being consumed too quickly.
At the current rate, once the bridge is open to traffic, the Second Legion will likely not have many troops left to storm the beach.
"Okay." Yan Miao nodded. "As long as I'm alive, no spatial gate will be destroyed."
After saying that, the Blazing Sun Fire rose from beneath Yan Miao's feet.
Yan Miao transformed into a fiery meteor, soaring against the current into the sky.
boom--
He crashed on the nearest Beacon Islands, where the Blazing Sun Fire ignited the sea.
The previously somewhat low morale has been revitalized at this moment.
"Look! It's General Blazing Sun!"
"Great! The general is with us!"
Kill these beasts!
"..."
Bathed in flames, Yan Miao proclaimed loudly, "I have pledged my military loyalty to the leader."
Even if only one member of the Second Legion remains, they will stand firmly by the portal.
" The Second Legion, born towards the sun!"
"Kill!"
The martial artists on the island were like nails, firmly driven into the ground.
Even when facing an enemy many times their size, not one retreated, and not one wavered.
Yan Miao watched the strange beasts that rushed forward one after another, using their own bodies to extinguish his Blazing Sun Fire, and remained silent for a long time.
He didn't know how long he could hold on.
But he is the successor of the God of God of War.
The word "cowardice" is never in the creed of the God of War.
Looking at the coastline that was so close, Qin Ze said to Yue Sheng, "We'll be there soon."
Then he asked Brother Devour, "Has the First Legion completed its assembly?"
Brother Devour nodded. "We can set off anytime."
Qin Ze said, "The task of storming the beach will be assigned to the First Legion; the Third Army will assist you."
Brother Devour replied, "Okay."
On the other side, Yue Sheng gritted her teeth and simultaneously raised the last two small islands.
Bang--
After Qin Ze inserted the first spatial gate, he headed straight for the last island and placed the spatial gate there.
"Phew~"
Qin Ze took a deep breath, traversed the void, and finally his feet touched the beach.
Bang--
As the final portal descended, all the portals along the entire route were successfully connected, forming a straight passage through thick ice, linking the two sides of the sea.
The surrounding beasts kept surging towards Qin Ze, but none of them could get within ten meters of him. All the beasts that approached were blasted into dust by his divine power.
Qin Ze gazed into the depths of the coastline and murmured, "It's too quiet."
The monsters that attacked him came only from the ocean; none of them charged up from the beach.
In the distance, the golden giant rose up once more.
But even then, it couldn't last more than a few seconds before cracking and shattering.
Qin Ze immediately invoked the authority of the Echo.
However, the Goddess of the Earth seemed to have vanished into thin air, and her position remained unanchored.
" A Sheng, something's wrong."
Yue Sheng descended through the air. "The gate to the Tomb of the Gods is just ahead."
"As expected, the Goddess of the Earth is there too."
Qin Ze frowned and said, "She erased her spatial traces herself, otherwise it wouldn't be so clean."
"Why?"
She acted as if she was afraid I would come over.
Yue Sheng pondered for a moment, "Perhaps... now is not the time for you to go."
Qin Ze was completely confused.
If we don't go now, are we supposed to wait until the Goddess of the Earth dies to collect her body?
Buzz--
A golden beam of light shot into the sky in the distance, creating ripples beneath the dome.
