Chapter 448: Attacking Strategy For Black Iron City (2/2)
”But they can't be counted as members of the Black Iron City! It's not worthy to sacrifice so many of our companions for those guys. Look, right now the ones fighting on the battlefield are all our brothers, but where are those people you want to protect? You say that they are part of our City, they should do their job and defend our fortress at this critical moment, shouldn't they?”
”They haven't reached the Mysterious Realm yet. What help can they offer even if they are here? If they were on the battlefield, we would even have to spare some forces to protect them instead!” Hearing this rebuttal, that senior brother went sheepish, and his following words sounded less emboldened now.
”Senior Yin, the words Senior Mo just said are true. Now that we are members of Black Iron City and also the reason that we are under such an attack, we should definitely do our part!”
Looking at the person who said those words, Zhou Bao could not restrain his happiness. It turned out that the speaker none other than Great Dark Lord Du, surrounded by Ji Yeyue, Moon Deer of Extended Net and many others. Except for Yu Nantian, all of his companions appeared out of nowhere. At this point, Zhou Bao noticed that next to the front gate of Black Iron City there was an invisible room, a wondrous space structure that was totally undetectable.
”That is so smart! Even if the enemy break into the Black Iron City, they can just shelter inside this structure besides the front gate. The best place to hide is the one that looks most dangerous because enemies will never expect it!. Could the builders of this Black Iron City have also read Gulong's novels?”
Senior Yin didn't agree with that, but the resolute faces of Great Dark Lord Du and those standing behind him made him change his mind, and with a sigh, he said, ”Fine. Since that's what you want, then, you can come and help us defend this city. Tiger, lead them to the western district and let them lend a hand there!”
”Yes, Sir!”
A sturdy brute next the old man darted forward and took Great Dark Lord Du and others to the western part of the city. The Genuine Immortal known as Mo attempted to say something else, but the senior brother Yin stopped him with a chilling look.
With the disturbance settled, Zhou Bao proceeded to follow Tiger and headed for the western city with Great Dark Lord Du and the rest.
On the way there, Zhou Bao looked closely at them: they all looked haggard and lost loads of weight, which showed all the suffering they had suffered those days. They seemed a little dispirited, or even crestfallen, but their eyes were all lit up with a fighting will.
”It's normal they have all fallen in despair. A lot of experts with the Level of True Immortality are trapped in this Dragon Abyss Prison and cannot break out, how can a bunch of guys who haven't even reached the Mysterious Realm have any hope to get out of here?”
After giving it a thought, Zhou Bao finally came to understand why they would fight so fiercely: because of the lack of Spiritual Qi in the prison, they couldn't enter the Mysterious Realm. Therefore, they would all have to live a limited life no matter how would their combat capabilities were, so they thought it was better to die gloriously in the middle of the battle.
”I would also be in such despair if I were them, wouldn't I? However, if they can get through this and stay strong after this horrible situation, their spiritual phase will certainly suffer a huge improvement. For example, a man with a cultivation like Great Dark Lord Du's would enter the Mysterious Realm right away. How interesting... If they rise to the Mysterious Realm in this sea area, I wonder whether their Intellectual Ray should enter the Ranking of Demons and Immortals or the Golden Book of Fate!”
While Zhou Bao was immersed in this thoughts, they finally arrived in the western part of the city. Zhou Bao now realized why Yin sent them here—the intensity of confrontations here was really low, so this was also the safest section of all the walls. Despite this, Great Dark Lord Du and his group still found this battle hard with their celestial devices and weapons lost. However, that was normal: their opponents were all above Level Nine, and the stronger ones were experts in the Mysterious Realm. Besides, they had never gotten involved in such a wild battle. In a few seconds, they all found themselves caught in an increasingly dangerous situation and everyone got wounded, even Great Dark Lord Du.
To make things even worse, the attackers found out The Dark Lord and the others joined the fight on that side, so the battle there began to become more intense. Several powerful Genuine Immortals even ignored their opponents who and flew directly towards them.
Zhou Bao knew that if he didn't start taking action, more than half of those guys might be killed in a matter of seconds. Even if some of them survived a little longer, they would be captured alive and it would be already too late.
With this on his mind, Zhou Bao decided not to hide in the dark anymore: his figure began to flash, and then, turned into a black cloud, floating over the wall of the western city.
”Hahaha, you kids! Is it fun to be part of all this fighting and dying? You're killing your own man! Don't you know that your real enemy, The Rolling Dragon King, is enjoying seeing you guys fight each other like this?”
Zhou Bao cackled creepily at the Immortals coming to the west side. Black flames were surging from his whole body and wrapping it. He shot a quick glance at those Genuine Immortals hurtling in his direction and threw several strikes at them with his Great Fusion Technic.
