Chapter 219: Saints deploy defenses, immortals arrive
Wen Ya was stunned when she heard this, then the corners of her mouth slightly raised, she chuckled and said:
"What do you mean I've been taught? I don't deserve that. But your story is really interesting. Maybe there really is a world like what you said! It's a pity that I'm afraid I won't have the chance to see it. But I have to say, if there really is such a world, it must be very interesting."
After hearing Wen Ya's words, Gu Shijiu also smiled slightly. He knew that even he himself didn't believe what he had just said, let alone others. In fact, he said these words not to Wen Ya, but to himself.
The war was approaching, and he couldn't help but feel a slight sense of homesickness.
Although he didn't have many friends and relatives in that world, this was still a foreign land after all, and he would always be a guest. He began to miss his distant hometown, which held countless memories.
Although he may have felt lonely and isolated in his hometown, he now feels very close to it when he thinks back on it. Those familiar streets, scenery, and every little bit of the past make him yearn for it. Now that he is in a foreign land, he understands the preciousness of his hometown.
However, the reality is cruel. War is about to break out, and he must face everything in front of him without escaping. In this strange world, he has gradually adapted and integrated into it. But the deep longing for his hometown in his heart can never be erased.
The eve of the war was like the calm before the storm. He knew that the war would bring huge challenges and changes, but he still stood here firmly, ready to face everything. Because he knew that only by facing it bravely could he be worthy of his friends and brothers in this world.
"Well, it's late at night. Go back and rest early. There are only a few days of peace left. You just came down from the Demon Abyss. Rest well and prepare to welcome the arrival of the immortal."
Wen Ya said with a smile, waved her hand and walked towards her resting place.
Seeing this, Gu Shijiu smiled slightly and went back to his bedroom to rest.
In the next few days, reinforcements arrived from all over the place.
Under the propaganda of Emperor Yang Tian, various underworld forces, aristocratic families and even street vendors received the news. Many people had only a vague understanding or even no knowledge at all about the day of the immortal's arrival. Only after the propaganda of Emperor Yang Tian did they completely understand what they were about to face.
All the young men above the fifth level hurriedly marched towards Zhenxian County, all wanting to do their part for the human race.
In just three days, Zhenxian County welcomed nearly 100,000 people! This number may not seem large, but these people are all strong and capable, and all of them are above the fifth level.
You know, it took Emperor Yangtian thousands of years to gather an army of less than 400,000 soldiers above level five, with the strength of an entire country.
After the battle of Demon Abyss, these 200,000 troops were basically wiped out, and the only ones left were the 200,000 troops led by Emperor Yangtian himself.
Therefore, these 100,000 people are undoubtedly a timely help to Zhenxian County.
Under the careful arrangement of Emperor Yang An, these 100,000 people were quickly put into training and garrisoning. They had clear division of labor, orderly actions, and demonstrated strong organizational discipline.
At this time, Zhenxian County had become an impregnable fortress. On the periphery, 250,000 troops were on high alert, ready to respond to any possible threats. Inside, these 100,000 troops were responsible for guarding various key locations to ensure the safety of the entire county.
The small Zhenxian County now has 350,000 troops above level five stationed there. Such a large force is enough to scare away any enemy.
In addition, there are a total of 17 saints sitting in it, making the defense of Zhenxian County even stronger. It can be said that the current Zhenxian County has become an insurmountable copper wall.
Gu Shijiu and other saints have stopped resting. For saints, there is no need to rest under normal circumstances. It was only because the saints in the Demon Abyss were overdrawn that they rested for a few days. The rest of the time, saints are always in the best condition.
"The fairy should arrive today. Tell your soldiers to be more careful. If they encounter any situation, they must obey orders and must not panic. Also, prepare a lot of torches. The fairy arrived at night last time. It will be too late to regret it if we discover it during the day."
The Dragon Emperor paused, looked at Emperor Yang An and continued to give instructions:
"Don't be frugal at night. Light up the entire Zhenxian County inside and out. Make sure there are no blind spots. The materials that the entire dynasty has accumulated for thousands of years cannot be used up in a few days. Use them without hesitation."
Emperor Yang An glanced at Emperor Shenlong, and seeing that Emperor Shenlong stopped talking, he nodded and turned around to give orders to the troops outside.
When Emperor Shenlong saw Emperor Yang An leave, his tone softened and he spoke again:
"Thank you for your hard work these past few days, but you still have to work hard to find the location of Xianlin as soon as possible. In my opinion, you should not sleep and spread out to sense this location."
Naturally, everyone had no objection. The rest time was more than enough, and it was time for these saints to contribute.
Seeing that no one had any objections, the Dragon Emperor began to deploy defenses in Zhenxian County.
He arranged the sixteen saints, including himself, in various corners inside and outside Zhenxian County, in a very even distribution.
Emperor Yang An was responsible for the deployment of 100,000 troops in the city and did not include him.
The Dragon Emperor discussed the details with Gu Shijiu, Jiang Lei and others, and then they returned to their assigned positions, quietly looking at the sky and constantly sensing.
The sky gradually darkened, and the moon today was rounder, more dazzling, and bigger than last night.
Yes, the moon is particularly big today, a little abnormally big.
Gu Shijiu looked at the abnormal moon, and questions kept coming to his mind. He didn't know why the moon was so big today, so big that it made people feel depressed.
wrong.
Gu Shijiu suddenly thought that he was a saint, and it was abnormal for a saint like him to be suppressed.
Gu Shijiu looked up at the moon again, and suddenly he understood.
The moon did not get bigger but got closer to him, as if it was moving in his direction.
Gu Shijiu stared at the moon hard. The moon became bigger and bigger, and got closer and closer to him, until it stopped when it was about several thousand meters away.
The center of the moon darkened, just like a lunar eclipse, but it was only a small area that darkened, as if a door had opened and then stopped.
A moment later, countless black shadows fell from the dark part in the middle, falling straight towards a place thousands of meters outside Zhenxian County.
Seeing this, Gu Shijiu no longer hid himself and shouted:
"Xian, is coming!"
