Chapter 504: 503, Accelerate! The main force takes off_1
At Busan Gimhae International Airport, the great cultivators stepped off the helicopter one by one, greeting Su Yu as they descended.
“Greetings, elders!” Su Yu greeted them with a polite bow.
Seeing the smiles on the faces of the cultivators, Su Yu asked, “Elders, did you break through successfully just now?”
“Ha ha, Su Yu, breaking through went quite smoothly!” The Emperor Taizong, dressed in yellow imperial robes, answered with a laugh:
“All of the cultivators who reached the peak of the Nascent Soul Stage successfully broke through. Elder Liu Che, Elder Zuo Ci, and I have recovered to the Dividing Spirit Stage, and Elder Yang has directly recovered to the peak of the Dividing Spirit Stage, only one step away from the Integration Stage!”
“Indeed!” Elder Tao also chimed in with a smile, “Not only the 21 cultivators who made breakthroughs, even those of us who are still a long way from breaking through benefited greatly!”
“Congratulations, elders!” Su Yu said happily.
This was indeed good news.
The smoother the recovery of the powerful cultivators, the closer they were to their final victory.
Amidst the crowd, a great cultivator in a light blue robe asked, “Su Yu, now that all of us old fellows are here, what do we need to do?”
All eyes turned towards Su Yu.
As for the arrangements for the great cultivators, Su Yu had already thought this through, and without much consideration, he announced loudly:
“All elders who have recovered to the Dividing Spirit Stage, I hope you can rest well during these last few hours and discuss strategies based on the images of monsters transmitted by the drones;”
Su Yu paused briefly, then continued, “As for those who have not yet recovered to the Dividing Spirit Stage and remain in the Nascent Soul Stage, I’d like to ask two things of you.”
Elder Tao waved carelessly, “What do you mean by asking? Just say what you need.”
The other Nascent Soul Stage cultivators nearby also spoke up in agreement, feeling that Su Yu was being overly polite.
Su Yu smiled slightly and said, “Firstly, we need to rip open the hardened ground and buildings along Busan’s coastline to reveal the land underneath so that we can plant crops;”
Seeing the nodding cultivators, Su Yu continued, “Secondly, in collaboration with the relevant authorities, we need to evacuate the residents of Busan, especially those within 10 kilometers of the coastline. We must ensure they are moved inland.”
“Su Yu, rest assured.” The dignified Liu Che, dressed in a yellow robe, took out a scroll from his wide sleeve:
“This is my ‘Map of Mountains and Rivers’, a magical artifact I received when I achieved enlightenment. It can temporarily contain tens of thousands of ordinary people who possess no magic power, and release them once we reach the inland areas. I will give this to my Taoist friend Tao Qian to use later. It should help a lot of ordinary people leave this place.”
“Thank you for your effort, elders!” said Su Yu earnestly.
…
Following this, the fifth-stage Nascent Soul cultivators sprang into action.
Seventy of them pulled the buildings and pavement from the ground at the southeast coast of Busan, revealing the earth below.
Su Yu, along with the other players, planted a seed every two or three meters on the land. Under the careful care of Druid and Priest players, the seeds sprouted and grew.
The remaining 40 plus cultivators, led by Elder Tao Qian, assisted the Goryeo people in their evacuation.
The “Map of Mountains and Rivers” of Emperor Hanwu was effective, with each round trip of Elder Tao able to bring 50,000 to 60,000 Goryeo residents.
Moreover, the fifth-stage Nascent Soul cultivators did not need to go to the battlefield, so they did not need to conserve their magic power.
Their generous expenditure of magic power greatly accelerated the preparations for the war!
By previous standards…Oops, Goryeo’s capability to evacuate more than 3 million residents from Busan to inland areas within 10 hours would have been impossible.
Now, with the full cooperation of the great cultivators and relevant departments, this formidable task no longer seemed insurmountable.
At least, the possibility looks high now!
…
Time passed second by second. Before they knew it, the fifth hour since the appearance of the monster horde had arrived.
At Zhong Feng’s position on Yunlu Mountain.
After five hours of gold transportation, the people of Blue Star finally paid the last 1,000 tons of gold, bringing the total number of fifth-stage troops to 2,000!
The sky above Yunlu Mountain now held over a thousand 40-meter long [Frost Dragons] and 25-meter long [Flame Phoenixes], flying across the heavens, their multitude almost blocking out the sun!
Five hundred black [Shadow Ghosts], their bodies like black fog, were swirling around the [Frost Dragons], as if they were cloaking the dragons in an armor of darkness;
The remaining 500 [Holy Angels] stood on the back of the [Frost Dragons], holding golden swords of judgment, standing tall and awaiting the instructions of their master, Zhong Feng.
These 2,000 fifth-stage creatures were all summoned by Zhong Feng and recognized him as their master, obeying only his command.
This was quite a privilege.
If these troops perform normally, no nation on Blue Star could resist them, barring the use of nuclear weapons.
The control of these troops was given to Zhong Feng, demonstrating the party and the nation’s absolute trust in comrade Zhong Feng.
…
After summoning the last batch of soldiers, Zhong Feng flew up into the sky on the back of “Mary” (his first summoned Frost Dragon with whom he has the deepest bond).
In the sky, Zhong Feng was not the only player. Xu Xiaotian and Mr. Meng were each standing on the back of a [Frost Dragon] and [Flame Phoenix], respectively, waiting for Zhong Feng so they could act together.
After rising to a high altitude, Zhong Feng turned to look at the army of high-ranking creatures behind him, then turned back to look in the direction of Busan to the northeast, and resolutely waved his hand, “Let’s go!”
Upon receiving their master’s order, the thousands of [Frost Dragons] and [Flame Phoenixes] let out a powerful roar and, transforming into a torrent of ice and fire, began moving northeast.
At the same time, Commissioner Zhang, left a message on Zhong Feng’s satellite phone, “Be careful on your journey. I will contact Su Yu and Emperor Taizong to ensure they protect you. Be careful not to sacrifice yourself!”
Zhong Feng was different from the other players.
After other players finish their logistics and planting tasks, they can wait for news at the rear base and don’t need to go on the battlefield.
Even Xu Xiaotian and Mr. Meng were the same, they didn’t need to go to the battlefield.
But Zhong Feng was different.
The over 2,000 fifth stage creatures only obey his command. During the actual battle, his command is needed, so he has to go to the battlefield personally.
This puts him at great risk, being the only one below the fifth stage present on the main battlefield (excluding the cannon fodder plants).
It was as if a three-year-old child suddenly appeared in the midst of fierce combat among hundreds of muscular giants, exceedingly dangerous!
Of course, Zhong Feng was fully aware of the danger of his journey, but he had no other choice.
He held the satellite phone, calmly replying to Commissioner Zhang with a message, “If I die, ask Su Yu to take my ashes to the Holy Silver Federation. I want to see the universe outside.”
After sending the message, he gave a rapid marching order to the troops.
The [Frost Dragons] and [Flame Phoenix] expanded their wings and sped towards Busan.
