Chapter 45: Evacuation Plan
Meanwhile, the fortress spire.
An old man with white hair hurriedly climbed to the top of the spire. He stood behind a man who was holding the railing on the edge of the spire and looking down at the entire fortress.
He naturally saw the dark curtains made of black energy near the arena.
It seems that an uninvited guest came to his city, but he did not have the slightest sense of crisis, but instead found it interesting. After all, he could not think of who in this world would have such courage for a moment.
It should not be the gods. According to "Death", the presiding judge has led the gods to hide in the hundreds of secret realms and dare not come out for a long time. Now they have been in a state of time, how could they make such a big noise in his territory?
"What's up?"
One of his most trusted subordinates was paused behind him. After all, if it weren't for these elders from the southern country, they would probably still be locked in the dark underwater prison at this moment.
"As you can see, there was some commotion in the fortress."
The white-haired old man's face turned pale. Gu Yun, who suddenly came back, disrupted all plans. They knew Gu Yun very well and understood the consequences of standing opposite to the latter. In the past, Gu Yun was the sharpest sword in their hands, but now the sword pointed at them.
"No hurry, I'll see what kind of ability he has before solving it."
The people on the spire did not take this uninvited guest to heart. He looked at everything under the spire with the feeling of appreciating the farce.
After all, he was tired of the little fights in the arena, which was also a remedy in a boring life.
"No, I'm here to inform you and several other adults to evacuate the fortress."
"Um?"
The other party finally changed his face, and he rarely saw such a panic-disturbed look on the old man's face.
Seeing that he was indifferent, the old man urged again, "We will explain the details to you on the road. Please evacuate with us now."
This time, the man finally confirmed that the old man was not joking, but said such words in a serious tone, which made him feel incredible - besides him, there were several other similarities of him in this fortress. Not to mention a mere intruder, even if the gods launched a general attack on this place, they could easily deal with it.
However, at this moment, his most trusted subordinates asked them to quickly evacuate the fortress.
"We must not take this risk until you return to your fullest state."
The old man emphasized in a hurry, "We have completely beaten down the Western Front, and we can find a place to stay in the Western Fortress."
The Senate has urgently studied the evacuation route and made strategic arrangements in advance. Everyone has the same views on the issue of Gu Yun.
Back then, there were many tough characters who held the same view as the men in front of them, and then their final outcome was all bleak.
"Who is that intruder?"
The man's eyes became serious. He knew that the Great Elder was not a cautious person. It was naturally another reason for him to panic.
"He was the one who broke into the underwater prison, defeated the warden, and came to the bottom of the prison."
Upon hearing the news, the man fell into a brief silence.
He has indeed heard of this person more than once. The black box has mentioned the other party’s actions in City X many times. Before the black box arrived at Port Z through the demon subduing ceremony, Gu Yun had already defeated two natural disasters, and a month ago, even "Happy" was defeated by him.
But he didn't know why Gu Yun suddenly appeared in his fortress.
"I see."
After hesitating for a while, the man finally nodded and agreed to the eldest elder's urgent proposal. After all, as the other party said, he had been detained in the underwater prison for so long, but he was far from returning to his peak state.
However, when the upcoming war is over, he will be able to reap enough energy.
"A wise decision."
The elder breathed a sigh of relief. He was very worried that the adult would go to fight Gu Yun alone. No matter what the outcome was, the fortress they had finally established would be destroyed in an instant.
The war requires a large number of manpower, and most of their troops are gathered here at this moment. Once these armies fail, the situation will become unoptimistic. After all, there are still gods staring at them in the clouds. At this critical moment, Gu Yun has become a star that neither side looks like they have encountered.
There is no benefit to winning, and losing is equivalent to giving up the victory to the other party. This is not a good battle no matter how you look at it.
What's more, when Gu Yun suddenly returned here, they always felt that there was something else behind their back, and the person who had a way to send him back was also a potential opponent that should not be underestimated.
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
At this moment, the battle under the spire is coming to an end.
The airtight dark curtain became riddled with holes, and the light shone in. The old man's hand holding the cane kept shaking, and blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth. This was the first time he had fought seriously with his student, and the ending was not beyond his expectations.
He understood that the main reason why he could persevere until this moment was that Gu Yun did not kill him at all.
The next moment, the holes in the dark curtain were connected together, and the barriers made by energy were scattered all over the ground like broken glass.
"Three Elder, it seems that your mental power has not grown much over the years."
What Gu Yun said turned the relationship between the two of them back. He wrapped his hands around his chest and examined the invisible black energy, as if he was the teacher to test the growth of students.
Compared with the old man who was bleeding from the corner of his mouth and was unsteady, Gu Yun's condition did not change at all.
"You know me."
He said the same words as before, "How could you stop me?"
Seeing this, the soldiers watching the battle on the arena finally couldn't help but pick up their weapons and planned to use a group fight against Gu Yun.
However, before they could jump off the platform, a huge shadow flew over their heads.
In the blink of an eye, the ice wall descended from the sky sealed the entire arena, and all the soldiers who tried to cross the ice wall were accompanied and frozen into ice.
"Get out!"
The third elder resisted the messy aura and shouted loudly at the soldiers on the platform.
For him, this was a familiar scene, but this time Gu Yun stood on his hostile stance.
"I'll ask you if the first one in the row is hidden on the spire over there."
Gu Yun pointed to the towering spire not far away. This imposing building is very consistent with the identity of natural disasters.
The third elder still refused to cooperate.
"You lose even if you lose, why are you still talking stubborn?"
"snort."
The third elder raised his head and when he saw the fire rising in the distance, his hanging heart finally let go, "They are no longer in this fortress."
When the elder spoke, Gu Yun finally understood his intentional behavior of giving away someone's head.
Unlike his other opponents, the third elder knew his background very well, but even so, he still stood in front of him - it turned out that this guy was trying to delay time and let the natural disaster go away!
"Despicable villain!"
