Light Fortress Chapter 1956 - 26: Taking Over the Battlefield!
Previously on Light Fortress...
A giant gate built from the sea of Dragon Annihilation flames stood before the collapsed city of Gu Castle Fortress.
The Legion Commander’s cloak billowed wildly in the fierce wind and fire.
She stood at the junction of Gu Castle Fortress and the Northern Continent Inland, her domain wide open!
The Legion Commander’s murderous intent surged forth, enveloping her entire body in elemental transformation; each strand of hair dancing in the wind was as brilliant as Flowing Fire. Those low-level creatures from the Traveler Tribe that charged into the territory of Gu Castle were frenziedly colliding in the sea of Dragon Annihilation, with ninety-nine percent burned to ashes!
But...
Their numbers were overwhelming.
Even if this breakthrough only had a one percent success rate, the "survivors" who could escape the Dragon Annihilation Domain were still numerous!
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Lin Lin manipulated the aircraft, pouring out all the bullets; he had completely abandoned the idea of retreat.
Either stop the travelers here with Purple Rain.
Or... die in Gu Castle!
The nearby fortresses to Gu Castle had already begun urgently deploying Source Energy Boats for reinforcements, and according to Lin Lin’s calculations, the two needed to hold out for ten minutes.
Ten minutes seemed so short a time!
But in reality...
They were facing the immense pressure brought on by the entire Traveler Tribe!
In a matter of seconds.
The traveler low-level creatures that broke through the Dragon Annihilation Domain had gone from a dozen to over a hundred, and their numbers continued to grow.
The Elemental-Transformed Legion Commander’s expression was somewhat pale.
Her spiritual power and essence reserves were depleting rapidly.
The reason was none other—
The Dragon Annihilation Domain was slaughtering wantonly, those low-level creatures crashing into the sea of fire head-on. They were fragile and brittle, but mad enough.
With Purple Rain’s strength, killing a low-level traveler creature was like crushing an ant.
Her domain, [Dragon Annihilation], was precisely suited for large-scale group attacks.
Theoretically, she was a perfect counter to these travelers.
But the situation now was precisely the opposite.
Crushing one ant, no matter how small, still required effort.
The consumption was small, indeed.
But if you want to crush a thousand ants... is the effort still small?
The Traveler Tribe at present dispatched far more than a thousand, or even ten thousand; it was tens or hundreds of millions!
Many ants can bite an elephant to death, and this was the principle.
Purple Rain’s Extraordinary Essence was depleting rapidly, under normal circumstances she could have adjusted by contracting her domain... but now she had no choice, once the Traveler Tribe’s low-level creatures breached Gu Castle Fortress and entered the Northern Continent Inland, any attempt for a complete "eradication" would be extremely difficult.
The vastness of the North Continent, they could easily hide, breed, spawn, then reproduce madly like indestructible maggots in the Northern Continent Inland.
From zero to one, then to thousands and tens of thousands.
It would take only a few months, or even less!
So she must never retreat, let alone reduce her domain. However large the gap at Gu Castle Fortress was, her [Dragon Annihilation] needed to cover just as large!
"Hold on! Hold on!"
Lin Lin’s angry roar resounded in the air.
The black shadows breaking through the [Dragon Annihilation] Domain increased, indicating the growing weakness of the Legion Commander’s power.
Lin Lin saw this scene clearly...
He tried to use his voice to invigorate and inspire Purple Rain.
But the sea of fire beneath the domain was gradually thinning, and Purple Rain’s breathing was becoming labored.
The power of a Titled Transcendent was indeed formidable.
But they were merely "human," untouched by origin, unrealized in ultimate life migration.
Expanding [Dragon Annihilation] to cover Gu Castle’s extent, maintaining full firepower... for Purple Rain, it was already an act of "overdraft."
She constantly strained her spirit, but human effort has its limits.
Judging by the escalating attack frequency of the Traveler Tribe, the robust [Dragon Annihilation] Domain could maintain itself for at most three more minutes; hoping to hold until reinforcements arrived... was slim.
"Contract the domain, leave the stragglers to me."
Lin Lin was essentially doing the same as the Legion Commander—extreme overdraft.
At this moment, his mind was unprecedentedly focused.
Though Zhu Xue had enhanced this small Source Energy Boat’s equipment, facing the Traveler’s aggressive human-wave tactics, surviving these hellish ten minutes meant every strike had to hit the target precisely.
"Contract the domain, can you handle it?"
Purple Rain wasn’t one to act recklessly; she listened to Lin Lin’s suggestion, hesitated for just a second before immediately asking.
If she could contract her domain, adjust her breathing.
Not needing too much time, just ten seconds... her [Dragon Annihilation] could be released again at its full prowess!
"Don’t worry, Aunt Wen... I’m not a reckless person."
Lin Lin smiled, saying, "Leave it to me."
This time, he did not call her Legion Commander.
He called her Aunt Wen.
The Legion Commander was silent for several seconds, then made a choice: she slowly raised two fingers, slicing through the sea of fire before her, and the [Dragon Annihilation] Domain began to contract. In an instant, countless black shadows burst through the gates of Gu Castle City, with hundreds of blood blossoms blooming as Lin Lin maintained an accurate and fierce fire suppression, shattering every traveler creature that dashed out of the gates of Gu Castle City!
Purple Rain was unaware that, at this moment, sitting in the aircraft, Lin Lin’s eyes and nostrils were beginning to bleed.
This was a manifestation of spiritual power overdraw.
Not even Purple Rain knew.
Not even Lin Lin at this moment realized that his seven orifices were bleeding.
He endlessly dispensed firepower at the collapsed city gates, venting his rage, in a state of extreme ecstasy, fatigue, and pain were far removed from this body, he fiercely struck against the invaders of the [Old World], wishing he could shatter every traveler’s bones into pieces!
