"It still came!" Lin Chen still had his eyes closed, sensing the aura of the newcomer, Lin Chen muttered to himself.
When the person arrived in front of him, Lin Chen slowly opened his eyes and said to him, "Uncle, I know why you're here. You don't need to say more; I have my own plans!"
Tang Zhong was slightly startled, then he burst into laughter. Before coming, he had prepared countless arguments to persuade Lin Chen and Tang Yue, but he found his preparations were redundant. Clearly, Lin Chen already had his own thoughts.
"I knew you weren't the kind of person who disregards human safety!" Tang Zhong said with a smile.
Lin Chen chuckled and said, "Alright, stop buttering me up!"
Tang Zhong smiled and asked, "Then what do you plan to do?"
Lin Chen snorted coldly and said, "No rush, let them suffer a bit first!"
Tang Zhong nodded, a look of 'as expected' on his face. He also agreed with Lin Chen's approach in his heart. Humans are sometimes very contradictory animals; they only learn to cherish when they lose something. Lin Chen's actions are understandable. Ultimately, it is the city that needs the Black Snake now, not the Black Snake that needs the city.
If not for Tang Yue, Tang Zhong would have been truly afraid that Lin Chen, in a fit of anger, would take the Black Snake and leave this troublesome place.
Lin Chen naturally couldn't know Tang Zhong's thoughts. If he did, he would be very surprised that Tang Zhong had even guessed his idea of taking the snake away. As expected of a high-ranking member of the Judgment Association, he was skilled at manipulating people's hearts.
"Oh, right, I'll hand Da Sheng and Luo Mian over to you!" Lin Chen said.
With that, he waved his hand, and two ice sculptures appeared before Tang Zhong.
"Good!" Tang Zhong agreed without a second thought. Lin Chen was not a member of their Judgment Association. Now that there were scoundrels in the Judgment Association, it was naturally better to let their Judgment Association handle it, so as to avoid Lin Chen attracting criticism in the future!
Seeing that his objective was achieved, Tang Zhong also bid farewell and left. Watching Tang Zhong's retreating back, Lin Chen's lips curved slightly. This time, he definitely had to make Zhu Meng suffer a bit, and then let him experience how fortunate it was for the city to have the Black Snake.
Therefore, Lin Chen certainly wouldn't rush forward to help. Lin Chen understood the principle that 'providing help in times of need is better than adding embellishment to something already perfect'!
…
As the sun set, a warning light flashed brilliantly from the west side of the city, sharply cutting across the nearby sky, so striking and alarming.
The sunset was also in that direction, appearing dark red. The two grim colors intertwined, seemingly foreboding the terrible events that were about to unfold.
The sudden warning light plunged the entire city into chaos.
Panic had spread throughout the entire city. Inside the city, there were scenes of people fleeing everywhere. Sensing the changes outside, Lin Chen finally left, heading towards the fortress with the Black Snake.
…
The moment the sun set, the White Magic Eagles, riding the gradually dominating darkness of the land, flew out of their nests.
In the twilight, the horizon was covered with white feathers, like a cloud mass that could obscure the entire sky. The colossal White Magic Eagle cloud mass slowly pressed forward, its grandeur sending shivers down one's spine.
This White Magic Eagle attack was even more ferocious than before. Double the number of white flying creatures seemed to have found their most delicious food, transforming into white, bloodthirsty devils that attacked the human world as night fell.
They flew over mountains, over the western forests, coming with great momentum. Yet, the West Fortress, the most important defensive line in the west, was still shrouded in the panic of the plague.
The Wei Fashi (Law Enforcers) within the fortress bravely gathered their Spirit and stood on the long towers of the West Defense Line. In the west, against airborne creatures, most of the Novice Mages and Intermediate Mages found it difficult to be effective. However, the main combat power of the entire West Fortress consisted of these large numbers of Novice Mages and Intermediate Mages.
At this moment, the West Fortress could only dispatch the elite of the elite to stand on those sparse towers. The West Fortress was not necessarily called a defense line; the towers were the true outposts to block the invasion of the White Devil Eagle Army into the human territory.
Sparse figures of Mages floated above the West Fortress. Without Sky Eagles, even some Advanced-Tier Mages could not enter the direct battlefield. Each of them had a solemn expression. If one said they felt no panic when facing the vast White Devil Eagle Army surging towards them, it would definitely be a lie. The number of White Magic Eagles was simply too great, and even Advanced-Tier Mages could very likely fall in such a battle.
Humans and demons confronted each other. The human side was too sparse in numbers, seemingly a completely unequal slaughter. However, the human Mages dared not retreat a single step. Behind this defense line, there were too many defenseless people. If the White Magic Eagles crossed this important defense line, that would be a true massacre, with blood flowing through the city.
As time continued to pass, the sky above the West Fortress was like a giant white net, densely covering the humans. Sharp claws and destructive elements collided in the sky, and sharp cries and magical roars echoed through the long sky.
The area ten kilometers around this fortress had already become a battlefield. The number of humans and White Magic Eagles was completely disproportionate. Even if the entire West Fortress army was deployed, they would only form squares on the ground. All they could do was bombard the White Magic Eagles flying at low altitudes.
This war between humans and White Magic Eagles was divided into several layers. On the ground, Novice Mages and Intermediate Mages tried every means to attract the attention of the White Devil Eagle Army, making them actively fly down to attack them, fully utilizing the tactic of luring the enemy, and forcibly killing many White Magic Eagles.
In the middle layer of the sky, that was the main battlefield for Advanced-Tier Mages with flying abilities and the White Devil Eagle Army. The power of Advanced-Tier Magic could often eliminate hundreds of Servant-level lives in an instant, possessing immense power. Even though the number of Advanced-Tier Mages was not proportional to the number of White Magic Eagles, they showed no signs of retreat!
As for the higher cloud battlefield, human powerhouses led by Zhu Meng were present there.
Zhu Meng looked at the ten white Four-clawed Magic Eagles floating in the clouds, like ten cloud masses that had escaped the sea of clouds.
And in the biting cold sky, one level higher than these ten Commander-level Four-clawed Magic Eagles, a giant eagle with silver feathers was being surrounded by them.
The Silver穹主 was high above, lazily not even putting human territory in its eyes. The ten Four-clawed Magic Eagles escorting it below could easily clear all obstacles in its path, not to mention the tens of thousands of its subjects below these ten Four-clawed Magic Eagles.
Gazing at the Silver穹主 and the ten Commander-level Four-clawed Magic Eagles, Zhu Meng's solemn face showed a hint of anger!
