Light Fortress Chapter 1910 - 8: Rather Bear a Lifetime of Infamy
Previously on Light Fortress...
Because the Deep Sea controls the entire Five Continents’ interactive information.
The high-level meeting of the three continents alliance must be held in the real world to ensure the meeting proceeds smoothly.
The location of this meeting is still set in Da Du.
Meng Xizhou, accompanied by Batu, crossed the inner sea and arrived at East Continent. After the last public speech, the entire West Continent unified with the determination to launch a crusade against the blasphemous Central Continent. The temple had not been this united internally for nearly a hundred years, and more than one high-level leader requested the Goddess to lead the first battle!
The current situation in West Continent is one of being fully prepared for deployment.
Central City and Changye are in similar conditions.
This meeting decides the upcoming war plans, as well as the future destiny of humanity.
Mr. Gu officially handed over the position of Changye’s "decision maker" power to the new family head. Gu Nanfeng fulfilled expectations by taking over all the power of the Gu family. After returning from the battle of Chanyi City, he united with the other four family heads to complete the concentration of Jiangbei Region’s power...
As for Central City, it is represented by Duke Zhuxue Lin Chou.
This meeting’s highest leaders of the three continents are Meng Xizhou, Lin Chou, Gu Nanfeng, and Lu Nanzhi.
Upon their reunion, Gu Nanfeng and Meng Xizhou did not exchange many pleasantries.
In this world, there are always some people who can understand each other’s intentions without words.
Lin Lin, as the frontier representative of the Northern Fortress, also attended this meeting. He arrived with Bai Xiu, hurried from afar, and the number of eligible participants for this fate-deciding human reality meeting is no more than a dozen.
West Continent is represented only by Meng Xizhou and Batu, with Batu serving merely as an observer.
North Continent includes royal family members Lin Chou and Lin Lin, respected old general Osmond, and young, steady new leaders Lu Zhe and Fisher.
On the East Continent side, attendees from the Jiangbei District include the heads of the five great families, while Jiangnan Region is represented by Lu Nanzhi and Chen San.
Mr. Gu and President Zhou Wei actually also received invitations, but they gracefully declined, citing that the tide of the human world has come, and it’s best for their old bones not to participate in decision-making, willing to comply with any arrangements and commands. Intelligence from Snow Forbidden City indicated that these two elders have stopped fishing in recent days, and instead went to the dojo together for meditation, sharpening their weapons, seemingly preparing to return to the battlefield one last time.
The overall list also includes one unexpected, temporarily returned Little Xiuzi.
With Little Xiuzi’s strength, they certainly qualify to participate in this meeting.
"Long time no see, Brother Nanfeng."
Bai Xiu sat beside Gu Nanfeng.
"Long time no see."
Gu Nanfeng greeted Little Xiuzi cordially. In his impression, Bai Xiu, after the Sang Island incident, seldom resided in Changye, spending most of his time out gaining experience and cultivating.
The two had not seen each other for a long time.
"The matter of Chanyi City has caused you much suffering."
Gu Nanfeng had already learned the causes and consequences of the Chanyi City incident, and he solemnly said, "This meeting is to discuss how to proceed with the upcoming war."
"Everyone."
He surveyed the room.
The attendees of the meeting were all present.
Gu Nanfeng stood up slowly and said:
"The number of Transcendents is increasing across all continents."
"The three high-load operations, the Judges from Jiangbei have all been dispatched... We believe that it’s not only the East Continent experiencing this, the arrival of the Extraordinary Era has been too abrupt. Without Deep Sea’s assistance, maintaining order and stability requires a large investment of manpower and resources. In this scenario, taking on this war, whether it’s Central City or Changye, seems stretched thin."
The attendees held their breath.
"In such circumstances, dragging the war into the ’late stage’ will be very difficult."
Gu Nanfeng said softly, "Deep Sea controls the data network across the Five Continents, manipulates information interaction, and without a second Spirit Network, once the war begins, the social grassroots will quickly accumulate dissatisfaction..."
"West Continent will not have this concern."
A gentle female voice sounded.
Meng Xizhou said, "Now, all counties and cities of West Continent have accepted the ’pre-war mobilization’ encouragement, the influence of the Light Church is rooted throughout the continent, and after the arrival of the Extraordinary Era, the existence of the ’Divine Throne’ has actually increased the trust of West Continent’s masses in the church. Currently, the entire West Continent is in a stage of high fighting spirit and excitement."
This is good news.
But it is limited to West Continent.
Concerns are also smaller in North Continent because, over the years, the Lin Royal Family has controlled both the frontier and the main city, and the major legions have long been aware of the existence of the ’Extraordinary Power’; the brainwashing effect of the Deep Sea has been greatly reduced.
But East Continent... has to realistically endure the "public opinion backlash."
Deep Sea currently controls the authority of public opinion, and it will spare no effort to vilify the opponents of the war, portraying them as "wicked villains."
"Regarding this war, I have a proposal."
Gu Nanfeng said, "That is to unite the power of the three continents and directly attack Central Continent."
"Directly attack Central Continent?"
Lin Chou squinted his eyes, showing interest in this idea. If possible, who would want to fight for three hundred rounds.
However, Central Continent is Deep Sea’s base.
As the home territory, it is bound to have layered defenses, impenetrable.
Years ago, North Continent’s war against the Red Emperor went on for many years, facing countless difficulties. It wasn’t until the Red Emperor’s demise, the collapse of royal power, that several legions successfully entered Central City.
Meng Xizhou calmly asked, "How do we fight?"
