Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies Chapter 1674: The Enemy Is at the Gates

At Mist Valley on Star Island, the Gatekeeper of the Underworld led his forces and appeared openly in the dead of night.

The moment they appeared, they headed straight for Huaxu Nation!

Their target: Tianshui City!

In the newly built Earth God Temple in the Shengjing district, Guan Longyue sat calmly in a chair, dressed all in black.

At this moment, no one knew which region the Wuluan Empire was targeting, or whether, as in their last attack, they intended to invade all of Huaxu Nation!

Standing beside her were Shang Daowen and Zong Yue. The Thirty-Six Heavenly Spirits and several Captain-level Transcendents from the Dragon's Roar Guard were all inside the Earth God Temple. Li Yangyang was among them as well.

Sky Swift Star Dai Sheng stood ready to activate his ability and instantly transport all of Huaxu Nation's combat forces.

To deal with a war on this scale, they had to send people to stop the invaders immediately!

Otherwise, even a moment's delay could bring an immense disaster upon an entire region!

“Keep tracking their position!”

“They're moving too fast. The space-based weapons can't lock on! The only way to strike them from extreme range is to have someone hold them in place and stop them from moving at high speed.”

“They're still moving, and they're not heading northwest. Their most likely destinations are the East China Sea Major Region and the Jiangnan Region!”

“Could they bypass us and launch a surprise attack on another region?”

“No! Given the Wuluan Empire's pattern of attack, they won't leave anything in their path unchallenged!”

Intelligence was being exchanged frantically. Across the entire planet, no one among the major powers would sleep tonight.

God of Thunder Perun, Alexei Ivanov, sat quietly beneath the eaves, facing the wind and snow as he calmly wiped down his pair of enormous splitting mauls.

His face betrayed no emotion. He showed neither excitement nor fear at the thought of the coming battle. He seemed stiff and wooden, yet he was a man others could trust completely.

In Tianshui City, Newton wore dark teal armor. He held in his right hand his enormous, almost living hand cannon, the Atheist. More than a hundred members of the Sea Wolf Assault Team stood behind him, their faces stern as they waited for the enemy to come.

“Their target is Tianshui!”

Newton gazed at the distant night sky. The cold wind swept over him, stirring his neatly combed hair.

And at that same moment, he was not the only one who had realized this.

Perhaps everyone understood that the enemy could only be choosing between two primary targets: Tianshui City and Shengjing.

Judging from their route, Shengjing was clearly unlikely. That left only Tianshui City!

“I really have made too many enemies. They’re desperate to kill me. But if I’ve managed to survive this brutal apocalypse until now, what makes you think you can kill me so easily?”

A cold smile tugged at Zhang Yi's lips.

Was he afraid?

Yes.

His body was trembling slightly with fear, but that wasn't the only reason. There was excitement, too!

An unprecedented battle was about to begin. Adrenaline surged through him, the body's natural stimulant, driving him to unleash energy he would never have in ordinary circumstances.

Fear of death was only natural.

But only by fighting could he win a chance to survive.

The Wuluan Empire's main force swept across the ocean like a gale, charging straight toward Tianshui City. There was no longer any doubt about their target.

Countless eyes across the world were fixed on this place.

Even in distant Neon, two hazy figures appeared, watching the situation from afar.

“So, someone has finally lost patience and decided to make a move?”

“Who are they? Old acquaintances?”

“I don't know. Their presence is completely unfamiliar.”

“Were any of them among those who attacked us back then?”

“Who knows? It was so long ago. We've long since forgotten. Even the records of the ages have nearly been worn away.”

“Good. Then let these bold fools test the will of Heaven!”

...

Beneath the night sky, an enormous suit of black armor streaked across the ocean. The entire sea heaved into towering waves, the raging waters surging skyward.

Even the creatures of the boundless ocean fell silent, sensing its overwhelming pressure.

Shengjing.

Sky Swift Star Dai Sheng was ready. Shang Daowen swept out a cold-eyed hand. “Begin the transfer!”

Dai Sheng took two horse talismans from his combat suit and strapped them around his waist. Then he pressed both hands to his temples and slowly closed his eyes.

As soon as his eyes shut, brilliant stars appeared in his mind. They marked the locations where he had previously left spatial coordinates.

Silver light rose from his body, gradually enveloping everyone present.

Far away in Tianshui City, Zhang Yi had already gathered everyone together. He sat quietly atop Tianshui TV Tower, the city's landmark, waiting for both allies and enemies to arrive.

Newton and his subordinates were the first to reach them.

“Whoosh!”

...

One figure after another appeared out of thin air. The entire Thirty-Six Heavenly Spirits had arrived. As soon as they landed, they spread out in all directions like birds and beasts scattering.

Then Transcendents from the various regions arrived in an instant as well.

Each found their companions, their sharp eyes fixed on the dark sea in the distance.

The night wind howled wildly. A terrifying killing intent was drawing closer.

Zhang Yi narrowed his eyes and waited quietly.

Suddenly, a brilliant flash lit up the distant sky. Then it plunged toward the ocean like a meteor.

In an instant, it was as if a hundred thousand suns had appeared over the sea. A terrifying radiance burst forth, and scorching heat swept in every direction.

Zhang Yi and the others had prepared in advance, so they used the tactical helmets of their combat suits to shield themselves from the blinding light.

In the far distance, an enormous mushroom cloud slowly rose, climbing straight up to an altitude of ten thousand meters!

Humanity's most powerful weapon, the Love of Death, and one with the highest yield currently in Huaxu Nation's arsenal, had been launched from Blizzard City in the Jiangnan Region. It was aimed at a point five hundred nautical miles off the coast of Tianshui City!

The Wuluan Empire's Transcendent forces were indeed fast, making it difficult to pinpoint their exact location by remote means.

But their route from the sea to Tianshui City was relatively easy to predict.

This Love of Death strike was the greeting they had prepared for these underground people.

“Hopefully, it'll have an effect. This is the first time we've used the Love of Death against them. As long as we're not fighting on our own soil, they'll learn just how powerful human civilization's technology is!”

Han Shanzuo spoke coldly, though his eyes were full of anticipation.

If they could gain the upper hand before the battle even began, that would be best of all.

But it wasn't long before a message came in.

“The Wuluan Empire's forces have suffered no casualties. They're closing in on Tianshui City!”
