Chapter 323: 323: Gods Clan Dispatches Troops, Lin Zhen Appears
Allen stood on a flying vehicle, watching the endless tide of beasts in front of him, feeling a sense of regret in his heart.
He was originally a member of the Great Divine Sect of the Sofia Cathedral in Ice City, but now the people of Ice City despised him deeply. He had no choice but to take this action.
It all started with Lin Zhen, who killed his disciple and destroyed his church, pushing him step by step to the opposite side, and eventually leaving no place for the church to survive in Ice City.
If Allen wanted to return home, he had to make the people of Ice City believe in the Gods Clan again. Taking advantage of others’ weakness might be somewhat despicable, but he could not care about that anymore.
Fortunately, Shen Lixing was ambitious and made foolish attempts to repair his reputation; their goals aligned perfectly.
Yan Huang’s retreat had reached a critical moment, and he might emerge in a day or two, but Allen couldn’t wait any longer. If Ice City did not take action, it would fall, so he simply took charge and led the church’s troops here.
Three hundred thousand people behind him were riding on ten thousand flying vehicles, the elite forces of the church that Yan Huang had spared no expense to build, almost emptying the accumulated resources of the Gods Clan over the years.
Allen believed that with the powerful firepower of these ten thousand flying vehicles, they could tear open a gap in the mutated beast tide, and even enter the depths of the beast tide to kill the enemy of ten thousand people.
Of course, if anyone dared to confront the Gods Clan, he would not hesitate to erase them, as Allen had already made arrangements for this.
He and Shen Lixing had agreed that if the negotiations failed, the 300,000 elite troops of the Gods Clan would attack Ice City under the guise of eliminating the mutated beasts and sweep away all resistance forces in the process.
With everything ready, Allen could launch a surprise attack within five minutes. Now he was just waiting for the news from Shen Lixing. Looking at Ice City a hundred miles away, Allen was eager to return home.
An Ning’s delicate face showed a hint of ridicule upon hearing Shen Lixing’s words: “Commander, if you think your people can do it, then go ahead and do it now.”
Behind An Ning, Alice, Hansen, Zhao Xiaoman, Feng Ni, Tang Wenbo, Duo Long, Xin Rughai, Li Changying, Jiang Huai, Lou Qingfeng, Meng Dong, Zhao Liang, Ma Yao, Wei Li, and many other people stood behind her.
Even top experts like Yang Jianying from the Blue Sky Martial Arts Hall and some of his disciples, such as Cheng Ge who had been helped by Lin Zhen before, followed An Ning, glaring at Shen Lixing and the others on the opposite side.
These people could be said to be the elite of Hua Xia’s young generation, and at such a critical moment, they all chose to stand with An Ning.
Or rather, they were standing with Lin Zhen since An Ning here represented Lin Zhen.
Of course, to outsiders, they could say that they were standing on the side of justice.
With bloodshot eyes, Shen Lixing looked at this group of people, knowing that if he couldn’t deal with An Ning and the others, he wouldn’t achieve his goal today.
As long as these people are removed, the citizens of Ice City will definitely turn against the church again under the pressure of the mutated beasts. He knew clearly what ordinary people need. They only need to live, safe and sound.
When it comes to life and death, people with integrity are always the minority.
Glancing at An Ning’s delicate face for a moment, Shen Lixing spoke coldly: “Miss An Ning, it’s a pity that a beautiful woman like you is a thief. I originally hoped that we could have a good ending.”
“You’re not worthy!” An Ning showed no mercy to this Commander.
She was not a gentle girl like Su Mingyue. An Ning had a strong personality, or rather, her gentleness was only revealed in front of Lin Zhen. Others were not worthy of seeing it.
Shen Lixing stealthily took out his cell phone, pressed a message to send in his pocket, and sent it directly to Allen’s cell phone.
The message had only two words: “Action.”
After sending the message, Shen Lixing didn’t immediately start a fight, but said with a straight face: “Miss An Ning, don’t think that just because you martial artists are all together, you can threaten me, the Commander. What you’re doing is selfish.”
An Ning didn’t bother with him anymore, let him say whatever he wanted. After all, this group of martial artists were the strongest force in Ice City at the moment, and even if Shen Lixing was dissatisfied, he couldn’t do anything to them.
Soon, Shen Lixing’s cell phone received a reply, and he turned around to check it quietly. It was Allen’s reply: “Will arrive in five minutes.”
With Allen’s reply, Shen Lixing’s confidence skyrocketed. No matter how An Ning and the others resisted, once the God Army arrives, they would fall apart immediately, and by then, Ice City would be completely under his control.
In fact, Shen Lixing also received a promise from the Gods Clan: as long as all the people of Ice City believed in the Gods Clan, he could serve as both the mayor of Ice City Base City and the commander of the City Defense Army.
Controlling the City Defense Army of two base cities alone, Shen Lixing felt that it wouldn’t be a problem for him to inherit the family’s power in the future.
He didn’t talk to An Ning anymore, but simply sat down with a smile: ‘Well, since Miss An Ning has made up her mind, I won’t say anything. Let reality decide, and let the people of Ice City make their final choice.”
An Ning was slightly surprised in her heart; did Shen Lixing have any trick up his sleeve?
An Ning never would have thought that Shen Lixing, the commander of the City Defense Army of Hua Xia Capital Base City, would actually reach such an agreement with the Gods Clan.
There was a moment of silence at the scene.
Allen received Shen Lixing’s message and was instantly invigorated. The time had finally come.
Although some people remained unconvinced, that didn’t matter anymore. As long as the God Army arrived, all resistance forces would crumble. This would also show these people that God’s grace is not their only characteristic, but a combination of kindness and authority is the key to control.
Aboard the row of flying vehicles in the front, besides Allen’s, each of the other nine vehicles held a golden-robed elder.
Currently, the number of golden-robed elders in Gods Clan had decreased by a
third. Most of them had died at the hands of Lin Zhen. Including Allen, the ten elders here were already half of the Clan’s power.
Allen issued the command: “Brothers and sisters of my Gods Clan, a hundred
miles to the south is Hua Xia’s Ice City, which is currently being besieged by mutated beasts. This is the divine punishment for their blasphemy against God. However, God is merciful, so we can’t abandon them. We need to rescue them. Unfortunately, some stubborn blasphemers are disrespectful to our allies and Gods Clan. These people have been completely brainwashed by Lin Zhen, the heretic, and are now an obstacle for our Gods
Clan’s control of Ice City.”
Pausing for a moment, Allen continued: “I know the people of Ice City well. As long as the leaders of the resistance are removed and their lives are saved, they will definitely not resist our Gods Clan anymore. You all know that our majesty is in seclusion and will soon marry. Shouldn’t we present him with a generous gift before his wedding? How should we deal with those blasphemers?” “Kill! Kill! Kill!”
“Take them down! Let them know the consequences of opposing the Gods
Clan.”
“No matter who they are, if they dare to confront the God Army, we’ll send them straight to their graves.”
Hearing the elders of the Gods Clan getting passionate, Allen nodded in satisfaction: “Alright, let’s set out now. Remember, our goal this time is not to eliminate the mutated beasts. Don’t get entangled with those creatures. We are to deal with the blasphemers in Ice City. As long as we occupy the city, the mutated beasts won’t be a problem.”
With the followers of the Gods Clan answering resoundingly, Allen’s flying vehicle started up first.
Then, one after another, the flying vehicles followed suit, heading towards Ice City.
The flying vehicles were quite fast, and two minutes later, a dense swarm of mutated birds appeared in front of them. At the far end of their sight, the city wall of Ice City could be faintly seen.
If they could see Ice City, then the people there could also see them. Through binoculars, An Ning and the others observed the small black dots in the distant sky.
“That’s…that’s the flying vehicles of the Gods Clan!”
Shen Lixing smiled and nodded, instructing the City Defense Army behind him: “Tell the City Defense Army at the north gate not to fire at the God Army. Let them enter Ice City. I’ll wait for their arrival here.”
In the past few days, Shen Lixing had secretly arranged to replace the northern side’s City Defense Army with his own men.
“Shen Lixing! What are you trying to do? Don’t forget that you are a Hua Xia person, the overall commander of the battle. You’re actually colluding with the Gods Clan to deal with us now?”
Shen Lixing sneered: “Don’t make it sound so unpleasant. If you had agreed to my request earlier, they wouldn’t have even appeared. It’s called prevention. Now it seems that I was right to be wary of you.”
“I warn you not to act recklessly. The God Army will soon enter the city, and any resistance by then will be futile. If you want to take action against me, just try.”
As soon as Shen Lixing finished speaking, a group of people emerged from behind him.
Two of them in front threw off their black robes, revealing the golden ones underneath. They were also Gods Clan elders.
In An Ning’s group, only Yang Jianying had reached the quasi-Star Realm level. Many had become War Gods, but none had reached the quasi-Star Realm. It was indeed difficult for them to deal with two Star Realm Experts.
Moreover, following these two Star Realm experts, War Gods like Li Wanfeng and Zhao Siqing from Ice City stood behind Shen Lixing, coldly watching An Ning and the others.
Under these circumstances, it was impossible to take down Shen Lixing quickly. In fact, An Ning’s side was at a disadvantage.
Shen Lixing laughed, suddenly picked up a loudspeaker and began to speak while having someone livestream it online: “People of Ice City, citizens of Ice City! The great Star Sky Divine Teaching has come to our rescue! The siege of mutated beasts will soon end! Now I declare that those who are willing to join the Gods Clan can live and continue to reside in Ice City. Those who are unwilling, please leave on your own within eight hours, otherwise, you will be regarded as a heretic and killed by the Gods Clan!”
As Shen Lixing finished his announcement, the flying vehicles of the Star Sky Divine Teaching had already begun to engage with the mutant birds.
This new force was extremely fierce, clearing a large area of mutated birds in an instant and quickly flying toward Ice City.
As Ice City grew closer and closer, Allen’s heart was filled with excitement. Those who had demolished his church and burned the Gods Clan’s clothes and banners must not have expected that he, Allen, would be able to return for revenge.
As for the two small dots in the sky ahead, Allen didn’t pay them any attention. They were probably just two mutated birds that didn’t know their place..
