Chapter 144 The Final Moments

After the Triangular Tower left the battlefield and the Giant City fled, the outcome of this war was no longer in doubt.

The originally crazed and violent beast tide began to collapse, and the morale of the human coalition reached its peak.

However, Li Tianran did not relax at this time. He ordered the Kunlun Giant Ship to fire at full power, ending the war in the Great Desert as quickly as possible.

The reason was simple...

The war in the Great Desert was coming to an end, but the war on another battlefield was still being waged with extreme ferocity.

Li Tianran knew very well that when the news of Kuangfeng and the Dark Night Apostle's defeat reached the ears of the Ocean Apostle and the Star Apostle, these two brutal kings would do something cruel to the federal army on the T-119 defense line out of insane revenge.

The better the situation on his side, the greater the war pressure on the T-119 defense line.

Laser orbital cannons, like pillars of heaven, fired from the Kunlun Giant Ship, blasting the Babel Tower into disintegration. A trace of anxiety flashed in Li Tianran's eyes, and his fists clenched involuntarily.

Faster, faster!

End the war in the Great Desert quickly, and go support Zhang Shoucheng!

...

A roaring explosion echoed across the sky.

The tall city wall finally collapsed after enduring countless blows.

The surging beast tide poured into the T-119 defense line's Giant City like a sea.

The roars of the beast kings, the maniacal laughter of the apostles, the explosions of artillery shells, the angry roars of the soldiers... countless sounds mixed together, forming the absolute theme of this battlefield.

The war had become too tragic to describe in words.

Everywhere the eye could see, the earth was covered with corpses and blood.

Mountains of bones and rivers of blood.

Zhang Shoucheng stood on the highest signal tower in the Giant City, looking at the battlefield below, and calmly asked the adjutant beside him.

"How long has it been?"

The adjutant immediately replied, "One hour and twenty-seven minutes!"

Zhang Shoucheng closed his eyes and whispered, "Thirty-three minutes left..."

Previously, Zhang Shoucheng had promised Li Tianran that he would defend this defense line to the death for two hours, and would never let any enemy pass before that time.

Now, most of the time had passed, but at the same time, the army he had brought was almost wiped out. Including the surviving soldiers of the Northern Border Legion originally in the Giant City, there were only fifty to sixty thousand left...

The towering and solid city wall of the Giant City had also suffered multiple breaches and large-scale collapses.

The enemy's final all-out attack was coming.

"Time is not enough..." Zhang Shoucheng took a deep breath. He had never felt that two hours could be so long. Da Feng Novel

In every second that passed, he had to watch with his own eyes as the soldiers he had brought from the Federation fell one by one in the beast tide, their bodies completely destroyed. This psychological pressure and torment was even more painful for a commander than killing him directly!

"If the city wall is breached, we'll fight the enemy in street battles within the city. If the combat troops are wiped out, the support units will take over. If the support units are wiped out, the cooks will have to charge with weapons!" Zhang Shoucheng suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze full of determination. "We have no way out!"

Faced with the surging beast tide, the second-sequence Followers, and the two powerful Apostles, all the federal soldiers participating in this war knew that they would surely die, and there was absolutely no possibility of victory. But having fought to this point, not a single person retreated.

This was a spirit.

Of course, it was also inextricably linked to the generals.

If it had been a commander like Li Zhi, who would have fled in panic before the city was breached, the entire army would probably have collapsed early and chosen to avoid the war in the face of the beast tide's invasion.

But Zhang Shoucheng was different.

From the moment he arrived at the defense line's Giant City, he immediately climbed the highest signal tower in the Giant City, so that all the soldiers participating in this battle could see his figure, letting the soldiers know that they were fighting bloody battles on the front lines, and their general would never abandon them and escape alone!

Sharing life and death, sharing honor and disgrace.

This was the creed that a troop, from top to bottom, regardless of status or power, should adhere to!

It was precisely because Li Zhi lacked this belief that he deserted and was used as a negative example, nailed to the pillar of shame in human history!

The shouts of killing and the roar of artillery shells echoed on the ground beneath his feet.

The battle had entered the most tragic stage of street fighting.

Those overly young recruits, those retired veterans who were no longer young, used their chests and bodies to block every step of the beast tide's advance with all their might.

They knew very well that if they couldn't stop these monsters now, the loved ones behind the defense line would be subjected to terrifying slaughter.

"Their attacks are getting fiercer and fiercer, much more ferocious than before!" The adjutant observed the enemy's battle style and found that the beast tide was even more ferocious than before. Most importantly, the two Apostles who had been staying in the rear were now participating in the battle, slaughtering frantically.

"Good..." Zhang Shoucheng nodded and said with a soft smile, "This shows that the battle situation in the Gurun Nuo'er Great Desert is very favorable to us. These monsters are anxious, so they want to break through us as quickly as possible."

"This great war between ancient civilization and humanity, we should be close to victory..."

A gratified smile appeared on Zhang Shoucheng's face as he sighed, "It's a pity, I won't be able to see that scene."

The battle below became more and more intense, and the number of human soldiers was decreasing.

The adjutant was silent for a moment, straightened his military uniform, and then stood in front of Zhang Shoucheng, solemnly bidding farewell, "General, I'll take my leave first."

Zhang Shoucheng opened his mouth, then patted the adjutant's shoulder and said, "Go!"

The adjutant's eyes were red.

Zhang Shoucheng laughed loudly, "Why are you making it so sad? It's not like we won't see each other again. We'll meet again soon!"

The adjutant was speechless.

He knew very well that the next time they met, it would only be on the road to the Yellow Springs!

The adjutant gave Zhang Shoucheng a very serious and standard military salute, then turned around and leaped off the signal tower.

He drew his steel saber and, with the powerful body of a God-Descended Evolutionary, landed in the beast tide, acting like a madman, forcibly creating a vacuum zone.

But soon, a ball of exploding fire fell from the sky, directly hitting the adjutant.

The fire exploded, soaring into the sky.

When the fire disappeared again, only the remnants of a steel saber that had been almost completely melted remained on the ground. As for the adjutant's figure, there was no trace of it left...

"..." Zhang Shoucheng sat down, with a black leather box on his lap, which he now gently opened. Inside was the mobile control panel for the three-phase nuclear bomb in the defense line's Giant City.

He glanced at the time.

Twenty-seven minutes left.
