Light Fortress Chapter 2021 - 62: The Source’s High Wall

"The battle reports from the Gu Castle Battlefield have arrived!"

In the spiritual conference room, Lin Lin and Gu Nanfeng sat at the head seats on the left and right, representing the highest authorities of North Continent and East Continent for this campaign. Beside them, in order of seating, were Zhong Yuan, Fisher, Mu Qingyang, Li Qingsui, and other high-ranking officials of the alliance.

Since the West Continent Light City, in charge of the internal main battle, exerted minimal intervention in the Gu Castle War among the two major battlefields of the Three Continents Alliance, only Elder Batu from the temple attended the meeting to listen on behalf of the Goddess. After the meeting, Batu would immediately deliver the latest intelligence from the northern battlefield to Light City.

"17 people killed in Area F, 31 severely injured, 73 lightly injured. The ’Sacrificial’ within the designated area were completely eradicated."

"Deaths in Area D..."

Reports after reports were presented before them.

[Deep Sea] using the Sacrificial for "fishing" and targeting the alliance’s High-level Transcendents was not the first time, so when the High-level Transcendent Beings "Mist Devourer" appeared, the Transcendents under the command of the alliance began a rapid retreat under the guidance of experienced veterans.

The battle results were within the acceptable range for the alliance.

However, what everyone was more concerned about...

Was the situation on the battlefield in Area A.

"How’s the Grey Dragon doing, why haven’t we received any imagery yet?" Gu Nanfeng was the first to speak.

Changye had been involved in the Gu Castle War for four years, investing considerable manpower and resources. In this strategic fortress, the Gu Family Night Watchmen had almost become a "backbone force" alongside the Investigation Corps.

Over these four years, amidst the flickering flames of war and volatile situations, the old man, having stepped down from the position of Family Head, no longer went fishing but insisted on personally going to the battlefield.

Gu Nanfeng, of course, tried to stop him.

But some things cannot be stopped.

Thus, Mr. Gu became the highest-ranking "veteran" in the Night Watchman sequence... and over four years, the person he constantly worried about added another, Gu Xiaoman, who shared the same family name as Gu Shen.

"The image delay is due to an overly strong spiritual power, distorting the target area."

The deputy director of the Underground Research Institute, participating in this meeting under Lin Lin’s command, shook his head and spoke helplessly: "In addition, there seems to be some signal malfunction on Prima No. 1, but since this is a battle requested by Mr. Bai Xiu, I suppose the risk shouldn’t be too great?"

"Such an important battle, it’s a pity we can’t witness it."

Luo Yu quickly smiled, smoothing things over: "Young Master, there’s no need to worry or blame. I just visited the Jade Dojo and met Mr. Bai Xiu a few days ago. Today’s battle, since Xiaoman can take part, implies she’s quite confident and can deal with a Transcendent entity like the Grey Dragon."

"I wasn’t really blaming anyone."

Gu Nanfeng eased his voice and said: "It’s just that the old man often mentions it... Forget it, looking at the reports from Area A, today’s battle remains undecided between Gu Xiaoman and the Grey Dragon’s Transcendent duel."

In the following meeting, Gu Lin and Gu Nanfeng briefly arranged staff placements for various areas and recent combat plans, then announced the meeting’s conclusion.

After leaving the meeting, Gu Nanfeng immediately left the giant wall and headed to the Prima No. 1’s stationed area.

...

...

Alfred, adhering to the last will of the former leader, was reluctant to make too much contact with the Five Continents Civilization, but seeing as Gu Xiaoman was involved and stationed at the gap in Gu Castle Fortress, he made a minor exception and issued a list.

A very few people in the alliance could enter the interior of Prima No. 1, and even borrow its Jade Dojo for cultivation.

Gu Nanfeng, being the de facto ruler of Changye and the highest leader of the alliance, was certainly one of them.

When he arrived at the snowfield, there were already two figures, an old and a young, standing on the mountaintop.

Bai Xiu was pushing a wheelchair, and the old man was lying comfortably in it, with real-time images of the Gu Castle Battlefield reflected before them.

"Brother Nanfeng."

Bai Xiu turned his head slightly, smiling as he spoke: "Here?"

Gu Nanfeng hurriedly stepped forward, taking over the wheelchair, half in helplessness and half in reproach: "I knew you’d come to Prima No. 1 to watch this battle, with Xiaoman on your mind... But you should have told the alliance as well. Many people there are also concerned about the outcome of this battle."

"Heh."

Gu Qilin, with a faint smile on his face, said, "The signal is bad here, and besides, what’s there to worry about this battle? With Xiaoman’s strength, in the future domain of the Lord of Wine, how could she not handle even a Grey Dragon? I’m not worried about Xiaoman at all."

Even so.

But Gu Nanfeng noticed that Mr. Gu’s palm resting on the wheelchair’s armrest was already sweaty.

"If today’s battle ends smoothly..."

He leaned down, speaking in a low voice: "In theory, Xiaoman, who can slay a Grey Dragon, already possesses the preliminary ability to refine a fire seed."

"Indeed."

Mr. Gu’s voice was a bit absent-minded: "Unknowingly, four years have flown by, and her cultivation speed is by no means inferior to the legendary tales of the past."

In fact, instead of worrying, Gu Qilin’s heart had a stronger emotion called "remembrance."

The older one gets, the more attachments are formed.

From the first glance at Gu Xiaoman, he was fond of this intelligent girl from the bottom of his heart, perhaps because Xiaoman had too many similarities with Gu Shen of the past...

Gu Qilin always saw their shadows as overlapping.

Indeed.

Even the [Dissolving Dream] domain comprehended by Gu Xiaoman was modeled after the external form of Chi Huo, unfolding in the manner of Flowing Fire.
