Light Fortress Chapter 1948 - 23: Wind Snow in Gu Castle

Sunrise over the East Sea, as the first ray of dawn shines upon the Tundra, the sleepless Night Watchmen of the Gu Family, one by one, left the base, cloaked in robes, standing in the wind and snow.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

The Black Silver Base greeted intense rumbling amidst its ignition countdown.

Seventeen Sky Shield Missiles soared into the sky, stirring up a massive wave of sound and snowflakes, transforming into swords piercing the heavens, landing far off towards Gu Castle... The Three Continents Alliance canceled the original Sky Shield Strike plan in the final three minutes, deciding, with data support from Gu Shen, to conduct a "precision strike" on Gu Castle, to flatten the storm’s impact on the human world.

Seventeen Sky Shield Missiles accurately hit the castle gate at the Gu Castle Fortress!

Under the influence of [Meat Mountain], the Source Material Storm, which should have spread inland in the Northern Continent, was held back. Accompanied by the release of Heavenly Sheath Fragments, the entire Gu Castle Fortress was engulfed in deafening explosions.

The fierce torrent that crushed the Gu Castle Fortress vanished immediately under the heavy Sky Shield strike.

But this tumultuous world did not become quiet because of it.

The Source Material Vortex above Gu Castle Fortress expanded several dozen times in an instant; the diffuse effect formed by seventeen Sky Shield Missiles hitting the same spot multiplied, only this method could dissipate the Source Material Storm at the throat, preventing further spread... However, the cost of this strike was the permanent loss of a strategic Fortress at the Northern Border.

This protruding point on the map, the most suitable high platform for defense at the Frontier, was destroyed by humans themselves.

"Absurd! Truly absurd!"

In the meeting room of the Northern Continent, the atmosphere was heavy, Osmond stared at the destroyed Gu Castle Fortress, his lips trembling with anger.

Three minutes ago, these missiles were planned to be sent to Central Continent.

Yet now, they struck their own side.

"In my opinion, we should just go to war with Central Continent..."

A radical general directly expressed his attitude, he cleaned his blade in the meeting room, speaking coldly: "The Gu Family has eighty-six more Sky Shield Missiles, launch them all at Upper City! Hit them hard!"

"No."

Fisher remained calm at this moment, shaking his head and said: "If this storm was facilitated by [Deep Sea], then the entire Northern Border will face a similar threat next... If you throw the Sky Shield Missiles at Central Continent, what will we use to counter threats to the Northern Border?"

"Nice words!"

The radical general’s forehead veins bulged, he shouted in a low voice: "Are we just going to maintain this standstill? If [Deep Sea] can manipulate a storm of this level, what are we fighting for, just surrender! Gu Castle Fortress couldn’t resist for even three minutes, now it’s completely obliterated!"

"Calm down!"

Osmond had settled down by now, as the oldest and most experienced one in the meeting room, after General Bai Xi’s "death", he became the temporary leader of the Third Legion.

"Our opponent... is Deep Sea."

Osmond took a deep breath.

"If Deep Sea really had the power to destroy the entire Northern Border at once, then the losses we just faced would not just be Gu Castle."

The Northern Continent guardians began to calm down.

They realized this point.

Indeed.

Deep Sea has officially started the war, and it shows no mercy... If it had the ability to destroy the entire Northern Border, it wouldn’t just have destroyed Gu Castle.

"The Source Material Storm descended from the [Portal]."

Fisher calmly analyzed: "According to Gu Shen’s deduction, Deep Sea probably mastered the power of the Traveler Tribe, but even so, it can hardly control the Source Material Storm so easily..."

The Source Material Storm is the collection of chaos in the world.

Theoretically, it is unpredicted and uncontrollable, where it passes, all "order" will be destroyed.

Achieving precision strikes through the [Portal], is essentially a paradox.

If a door could be opened to lead the Source Material Storm to a designated location... then the Traveler Tribe wouldn’t have to go through such lengths to find the "Five Continents Civilization". With their ability to survive in the void, they could settle on any broken land, opening portals to avoid danger.

"Guiding a Source Material Storm, inevitably requires paying a price."

Living Fish said earnestly: "Only the price paid by [Deep Sea], we are not aware of."

Both sides of this war, stand in the fog against each other.

[Deep Sea] doesn’t know how many Sky Shield weapons the Three Continents Alliance has.

And the same.

The Three Continents Alliance does not know what cards [Deep Sea] holds.

"What should we do?" The radical general calmed down to ask.

"According to Duke Zhu Xue’s directive..."

"After the Storm Church retreated... now Southern Continent has become a no-man’s land."

Osmond extended his palm, slowly moved it across the long table’s projected map, finally stopped at the southernmost point.

"Taking this piece of land is very important to us."

...

...

In the game between the Five Continents, the strong are the players, the weak are the pieces, and the weaker... must become the board.

Southern Continent is the board, it has always been.

After the Storm God’s Throne left on a starship, the nature of this board changed.

Initially, the "mid-level leaders" of the Holy City did not perceive anything unusual, they were just curious where the higher-level leaders went... The hierarchy within the church is extremely strict, they have no right to question the plans of the higher-ups, and were happy to be "idle", but soon they realized something was wrong, the Saints couldn’t be contacted, and Yuanting Island was completely vacant.
