Chapter 1473: Chapter 1032: Method to Reverse the Situation

The transceiver message from Black Cloud General left the other generals of the Celestial Court in utter astonishment.

Black Cloud has developed earthly affections? What did that mean?

Does it imply that he... had suddenly fallen in love with a mortal woman? At a time like this?

After a brief silence, a general fighting against the Annihilation Army cursed aloud.

"Are you out of your mind?"

"How long has it been?"

"Is it a man or a woman?"

It was no wonder that the other generals began to curse; to them, this all seemed excessively preposterous.

This Black Cloud had lived for several hundred years; he was a mature descendant of the Celestial Court.

So for this trial, he was to serve as the general of the Black Cloud Sky Army during the Protection War, who was also his ancestor.

And in this role, he led some outsiders back onto the battlefield, to select those among them worthy of entering the depths of the relics.

And now, you’re saying you’ve developed earthly affections.

You’ve reconstructed the battlefield for less than an hour, and you’ve already developed earthly affections? Is that a joke? You’re moved by what you see, aren’t you?

At that moment, even the Ancestor Spirit Lord lapsed into silence.

Of course, Black Cloud was aware that his transmission was inappropriate.

He quickly replied, "The Black Cloud Sky Army has successfully infiltrated the Demon Warship. Although we’ve lost forty percent of our forces, we’ve still successfully seized control of the warship. The Azure Flame General is astoundingly powerful, neither the noble ranks of demons nor any landing forces can match him. Also, he is able to summon some bizarre yet powerful iron legions. I reckon that even without the help of the Celestial Soldiers and Generals, he alone would be capable of taking down this warship. Of course, it might take more time."

"Summoning an army? Is it Planting Beans into Soldiers?"

"It doesn’t seem so. He’s more like a Heretic Tian."

"Fighting against a hundred thousand demon soldiers by himself? What kind of monster is this? And he’s merely a puppet... How powerful must his true body be? Has he ever assumed the Demi-step Immortal State?" asked a Heavenly General.

"No. At least, I haven’t noticed it," Black Cloud replied.

"Have the humans of the outside world all become so abnormal?" lamented a Celestial General: "If there were a hundred such powerful individuals, we wouldn’t stand a chance."

"Such powerful beings must be extremely rare. According to the outsiders, his true self is the strongest beneath the Immortals, and he has even killed an Immortal. A being that powerful only emerges once in a thousand years, there’s no need for self-deprecation," another Celestial General transmitted: "So Black Cloud, how did you manage to seize control of the warship?"

Black Cloud’s response was tinged with somberness: "According to those from beyond, it appears to be the work of the Azure Flame General. He’s famous; his true self is known for leaping aboard the Demon Warship alone and successfully seizing it. Now, it’s two girls from the outsiders who are operating the warship’s cannons. She is so dazzling and beautiful... I..."

"Oh? The ones firing the cannons are two girls? So... that’s why you’ve developed earthly affections?" another Heavenly General reminded, "Think about the lifespan disparity. Besides, we’re here to initiate trials, not for you to develop earthly affections."

"Rest assured, I will not be biased; she is already sufficiently outstanding. The previous main cannon bombardment probably eliminated no less than five thousand demons. Her accomplishments are already adequate," Black Cloud thought to himself that if she had killed a demon nobility, her strength was likely already that of a Celestial. What difference would there be between mortals and immortals then?

Just then, Black Cloud saw the girl with the ponytail suddenly turn her head towards him.

Looking into her ancient mirror-like eyes and at her delicate face, Black Cloud felt a tightening in his heart.

For a moment, he actually didn’t know what to say.

But he heard her speak, "General, a large number of Annihilation soldiers are closing in on this position. Help us hold them off for a while. I need some time."

""

"Fine, I will ensure your... complete safety!" Black Cloud General solemnly replied, having also noticed the vast number of Evil Spirits drawing near. He had to buy time for these two girls until the main force arrived.

Of course, if the girls could continue to fire, destroying more Annihilation fighters or escort ships, then the likelihood of one being chosen by the Ancestor Spirit Lord would be even greater.

’Li Yunxi’ gave Black Cloud General an odd look, surprised that the guy was actually so cooperative. It spared her quite a few problems.

She couldn’t help but laugh: "Then, many thanks, General."

Black Cloud’s cheeks reddened slightly, and he gave a small nod before drawing his treasured sword and proceeding to the metal hatch he had kicked open earlier. He stood with the boldness of a single man blocking a pass against ten thousand.

Chen Yu, on the other hand, glanced at Black Cloud General quizzically; she detected something slightly off in his expression. Chen Yu had seen that look before... on the faces of colleagues who wanted to start a romance with her, nervous and somewhat shy.

"Fuck..." Chen Yu couldn’t help but complain: "So now men are stealing men!"

Meanwhile, ’Li Yunxi’ was observing the situation on the battlefield.

With the involvement of the players, the Celestial Court side had gained some advantage. But it wasn’t enough. In just the field of view, there were nearly thirty Annihilation main ships. Taking down one by herself would hardly turn the tide of defeat. The strength of Annihilation was too vast and powerful.

"We have to liberate the Immortals’ combat power," ’Li Yunxi’ thought, looking over the chaotic battlefield.

In the distant palace complex, beautiful Immortals waved their pristine sleeves, as countless stars hurtled down, bombarding the Annihilation fleet. But faced with the sky filled with artillery fire and the fearsome Spear of Light, she remained trapped.

There were also battle Immortals clad in divine armor, swinging huge sabers to slice through Annihilation main ships, only to be dragged down by the Devil King himself. Under the barrage of the fleet, they fell into disadvantage.

’Li Yunxi’ could feel that in the core area of the battlefield, even more powerful beings were brawling.

Terrifying black hole bombs exploded continuously, yet the battle there remained unquelled.

That place was likely where the True Gods/True Immortals clashed.

On this part of the battlefield where ’Li Yunxi’ found herself, the Demigods were the main force.

The firepower of the Annihilation fleet could even besiege and kill Demigods. But the fewer forces of the Celestial Court had difficulty achieving this.

This was probably why the battlefield had been lost in the annals of history. After the Immortals were killed, the Celestial Soldiers and Generals could hardly withstand the fleets and ultimately faced defeat.

But if one, or even several, Demigods could be freed from their predicament, then there might be a chance for a reversal.

If controlled properly, a few Demigods might even be able to support the core battleground’s True Immortals. Then a turnaround might just be possible.

"In your situation where you’re not revealing your identity, it’d be difficult to help the Immortals break free from the battlefield," Yun Ting reminded her in her mind: "And remember, this is a reconstruction of the battlefield, you haven’t stacked too many Dawn Prayers, have you?"

Indeed, despite the seemingly dire battlefield, the players and Transcendents who died in combat hadn’t truly perished. Instead, they vanished from the battlefield. This was confirmed both by the resting players who died in battle and those who managed to send messages back.

So, the Dawn Prayer had not been stacked up.

Unable to deploy "Planting Beans into Soldiers".

"I know. But don’t we still have our ship?" ’Li Yunxi’ laughed lightly.

It was only then that Black Cloud General noticed that as the girl was charging the main cannon, she was also turning the direction of the warship, towards an Annihilation Great Monarch.

"Alright, all hands abandon ship!" ’Li Yunxi’ picked up the broadcast microphone at the control console and shouted to everyone inside the fleet: "General Li Ba is going to shoot the arrow!"

In that moment, the Celestial Soldiers and Generals looked baffled, while the players’ faces twisted fiercely.

"Fuck! I should’ve known!"
