Chapter 488: One person, one knife, one city
"The God Realm did not plan to fight the decisive battle on the dawn front from the beginning. This is just a means for them to attract our attention. When we were fully responding to the enemy attacked from the front, we sent an army of 10,000 people to quietly break through the defense line from the flank. According to my estimate, they wanted to attack Fort No. 19." Duanmu Qingyu completely understood Dugu Yunqi's thoughts.
Ji Qianming's face darkened, "He wants to massacre innocent civilians?"
"That's right, although I have stabilized the situation here now, once I lose a fortress, it will be a devastating blow both strategically and morally. When the gods already have the advantage, we will no longer have the power to resist."
"I understand, I'll go to Fort No. 19 now." Ji Qianming took a deep breath and said solemnly.
"Wait for Ji Qianming..." Duanmu Qingyu suddenly spoke, confused for a moment, his tone was full of heavy weight, "I blamed me for this... It was because I discovered it too late. I have tried my best to send people from the battlefield to Fort No. 19 to support it, but even so, they will arrive in half an hour at the earliest... But the people in the God Realm will arrive at a maximum of twenty minutes, which means..."
"This means I have to hold them alone for ten minutes, right?" Ji Qianming's voice was very calm.
"Well..." Duanmu Qingyu paused, his voice a little hoarse, "I know, from the perspective of a commander, I shouldn't say such words...but I still want to say that you can choose to refuse, or walk slowly on the road..."
"…Do you know if I do that, 30 million people will die?"
"I only know that if you don't do this, you will die!" Duanmu Qingyu's breathing became heavy, "That's a army of ten thousand gods! Do you know how many half-step god kings and god generals are there? Even if there are no high-level cultivators, the number of low-level cultivators can beat you to death! No one can survive under their siege, and Zhang Jingyan can't do it!"
"I'm not Zhang Jingyan, Duanmu." Ji Qianming shook his head, looked up at the sky, and some memories appeared in his eyes.
"Before I entered Gouchen Academy, I was an ordinary boy who was absent-minded in class, sleeping, and playing games every day. I catered to everyone with a false smile, thinking all the time about what the meaning of life is and where my value is... Later, I met a teacher, and he gave me a chance to realize my value."
"I have changed, Duanmu, I have changed a lot in the past three years."
"Now, I am Ji Qianming..." Ji Qianming smiled, "I am a student Gou Chen, a wise king, the ninth emperor of the earth, and the first special envoy JOKER... The emperors are gone, I am the last pillar on the earth! The reason why Zhang Jingyan dared to leave everything to fight against the Chiyang God King is because he believes that I can support this sky."
“Some things I have to do.”
Ji Qianming's tone became more and more firm. After saying the last few words, he took off the headset and threw it into the sand without waiting for Duanmu Qingyu to answer.
"We may have to change direction." Ji Qianming turned around and smiled slightly at everyone.
In Gou Chen's command room, Duanmu Qingyu saw the flashing icon turning gray. She was silent for a long time, and a bitterness appeared on the corner of her mouth, "I just knew..."
...
Fortress No. 19.
This fortress is located at a very edge in the arrangement of Duanmu Qingyu, and has been rarely affected by the battle. Therefore, many young people who are not afraid of death are excitedly climbing up the fortress wall, shouting at the fierce battlefield, and shooting a large video.
"Well? Why are there people outside the fortress?" A young man suddenly spoke in confusion.
Everyone followed his eyes and found that in the other direction, a group of people were approaching the fortress quickly in the vast wilderness.
"It's really... it's time. Why are there still people who are not afraid of death swaying outside?"
"Can they be people from the God Realm?"
"How is that possible? Didn't you see that most of them are wearing masks? Well...? Mask?!" A young man seemed to have thought of something, picked up the telescope and looked, and his whole body was shocked.
"He...they are...the Shangxiehuihui!!"
"What?!"
"Shangxiehuihui? Is it the Shangxiehuihuihuihui?"
"Yes! I saw that mask of laughter and crying. That was JOKER, the first special envoy of the Shangxie Society!"
"I'm going, really, what are they doing?"
“…”
When the people on the fortress saw this scene, they immediately burst into trouble and started discussing excitedly.
Ji Qianming and his party walked straight to a gate of the fortress and spoke calmly towards the monitor: "Shangxie will escort the lost residents back to the fortress, please open the door."
Meanwhile, the fortress head office.
"What? Let them in? Those are a group of villains who kill without blinking!" The person in charge stood up from his seat with his cell phone and spoke in surprise.
“…”
"This...well, I understand." Something seemed to be said on the other end of the phone. The person in charge was confused for a moment and hung up helplessly, "Open the door and let them in."
"Are you sure? They..." the secretary was a little incredible.
"The commander-in-chief personally ordered that the door must be opened. Go and go, as long as they don't cause any trouble, don't worry about them."
"……yes."
Squeak-!
The silver door slowly opened, Ji Qianming turned around and looked at Jiang Yongying and others, and said calmly: "Go, the escort is over."
Jiang's father supported Jiang's mother who was scared to death and did not dare to stay for a moment. He hurried into the fortress. The two reporters smiled and said goodbye to the people of the Xiehui Association, as if they were reluctant to leave.
"You guys go in together, too." Ji Qianming said to the puppet master and others.
"Why? We can..." The queen spoke in surprise.
"You stay is to die. In front of the 10,000 army, you can't even hold on for a minute, so there is no need to make unnecessary sacrifices." Ji Qianming paused and smiled softly, "Besides, if I die in battle, at least someone will collect the body for me, right?"
The people of Shangxie Society were stunned. The puppet master glanced at him deeply and focused his head, "I understand..."
After saying that, he turned around and walked into the fortress. Although the remaining people were a little reluctant, they still stepped into the fortress under the supervision of the puppet master.
Buzz —!
The silver door slowly closed, making a dull collision sound. Ji Qianming looked up at the magnificent fortress, smiled slightly, and turned to walk towards the wilderness.
Under the eyes of everyone on the fortress wall, he walked straight to the front of the fortress, inserted the mirror knife in his hand into the ground, and slowly sat down.
The breeze blew past the black hair on his forehead, curling up the dust and sand on the ground. Under the pale mask of laughter and crying, the clear and calm eyes stared at the distant sky.
Outside this magnificent fortress that accommodates nearly 30 million people, a boy in black sat in the deserted wilderness with a knife, like a patron saint.
