Chapter 985 - 432-2
In this tense preparation, another three days have passed.
There are still five days left until the day of the final battle.
During this time, the powerful warriors responsible for the battle have gradually entered the world and are now all gathered.
The supplies supported by various parties have also been orderly arranged everywhere, and the defensive line has extended to a radius of one hundred kilometers, just as Chu Xiu expected.
To his surprise, most of these strong warriors have brought at least one array and are now setting them up around the area.
This is quite reasonable; how can there be a ground battle without arrays?
These arrays can resist the enemy and also serve as a retreat for these warriors. In case of danger, they can directly retreat into the array.
What delighted Chu Xiu the most was Zhang Zhengdao, who directly moved three grand arrays from the Zhang Family’s secret vault!
The Zhang Family is always renowned for its arrays, and although these three grand arrays are not as powerful as the Zhang Family’s town-securing array, they each have their miraculous uses.
When they cooperate with each other, they are enough to elevate Zhang Zhengdao’s power to a higher level!
This reassured Chu Xiu greatly.
In this busy preparation for battle, another day passed.
On this day, Chu Xiu was at the core of the Titan Giant Mechanism, contemplating the use of the Power of Civilization.
Suddenly, he seemed to sense something, and his brow twitched.
In the next instant, his figure suddenly appeared outside the Titan Giant Mechanism!
Not long after, Zhang Zhengdao and a group of powerful figures followed and appeared one after another.
At the horizon where all eyes cast, a rich, vibrant crimson spread like a bloody tidal wave from the edge of the horizon.
A closer look revealed humanoid creatures, entirely crimson, crawling quickly.
But their numbers were so astonishing that it defied belief—even billions or tens of billions seemed just a part, and they not only filled the ground but densely populated the sky as well! Those with wings resembled the harpies from mythical legends, creatures full of blood that devour human hearts!
Among these densely packed crimson creatures were some hundreds of meters tall blood giants mixed in, marching towards Chu Xiu’s direction!
"Is that... the Blood Demon Army?"
Even though Chu Xiu had seen them once before in the Ancient Trials, he still displayed a shocked expression when he saw them again.
The crimson tide of now was not of the same magnitude as what was seen before!
Even though they were still several hundred kilometers away, Chu Xiu already felt the crimson, a blood-red torrent that seemed capable of devouring the entire world, unstoppable!
"Gulp."
Even a heroic spirit expert from the government couldn’t help but gulp and said, "This is too many."
"Can the Titan Giant Mechanism... hold up?"
As someone entirely in charge of the Titan Giant Mechanism’s construction, he was well aware of its firepower, yet he still felt apprehensive at this moment.
"Do not panic," Zhang Zhengdao calmly said, "At our level, numbers no longer matter, you just need to do your job."
As expected from the head of the family, Zhang Zhengdao’s voice carried an inexplicable authority that quickly calmed the once scared crowd.
"I also ask you to help appease the residents and Awakened in the Titan Giant Mechanism." Chu Xiu said.
Everyone answered accordingly and then dispersed.
Only Chu Xiu stayed on the spot, frowning as he watched the distant, steadily approaching blood-red torrent.
He knew the weaknesses of the Civilization Domain better than anyone present; not only could a breach of civilization affect the domain’s power, but even compressing the domain could have a detrimental effect!
A Murder Ghost with civilization domain suppression once overwhelmed him, but once the domain was breached, the Murder Ghost was instantly exterminated, demonstrating the gap!
Of course, for Chu Xiu now, the civilization domain’s augmentation surely isn’t as exaggerated, as Chu Xiu’s Basic Attributes far exceed the Murder Ghost.
But even so, it’s still a significant augmentation, especially since the civilization domain can amplify his Ghostly Legion overall.
"The ammunition reserves in the Titan Giant Mechanism should be sufficiently ample; even if the enemy wishes to wage a war of attrition, the Awakened can continuously transport replenishments...."
So, the key still lies in whether the enemy’s offensive can be held off!
Despite the dense numbers of the Blood Demons, once they launch a real attack, even a fool knows better than to cluster for a charge.
And with a defensive line of a hundred-kilometer radius, even with a ten-meter spacing, they could send over a hundred thousand Blood Demon troops per second.
Of course, these troops are more likely to form squads for raids, in which case the accuracy of artillery fire becomes particularly crucial.
"There’s only five days left. Can Aurora’s soul be gathered in time?" Chu Xiu couldn’t help but wonder inwardly.
Fortunately, luck seemed to favor Chu Xiu this time; just one day later, good news came from the Ancient Altar.
Aurora’s soul had finally been gathered!
Without delay, Chu Xiu extended his hand, and under his eager gaze, seven fragments of Aurora’s soul began to slowly merge!
As the seven soul fragments came close, a dazzling white light burst forth.
Once the glow faded, a weakly radiant, nearly transparent figure appeared in mid-air.
Chu Xiu, prepared, waved the Soul Banner, instantly releasing a large amount of pure Soul energy, which surged toward the apparition.
As energy was infused, the body gradually solidified, revealing the outline of a woman.
