Chapter 1427: Chennan Pass Crisis
As the plane flew at full speed, beyond the porthole, continuous mountains appeared in Hongying's field of vision.
At this moment, they were still more than a hundred kilometers from Chennan Pass, but the distant sky seemed torn apart, with various colors of divine light flashing continuously and thunderous explosions like thousands of claps of thunder, unceasing.
This dazzling sky reflected in everyone's eyes, the leaping divine light constantly impacting their hearts and minds.
"Is this a divine miracle..." Wen Qimo murmured to himself, feeling the oppressive sensation wash over him.
The helicopter veered, circling around that sky shrouded in divine light. As the distance grew closer, everyone could see from afar that the mountain range in the divine battle zone had been flattened, with shocking ravines and giant craters silently witnessing the ferocity of this war.
In the tense atmosphere, the helicopter slowly descended.
"Why are we landing here? We're still at least十几kilometers away from Chennan Pass, right?" a Night Watcher asked, puzzled.
"Chennan Pass is being attacked by a Divine Beast swarm, and there are large numbers of double-headed birds circling in the airspace. If we fly any further, we'll be shot down." The driver's voice came through. "We can only bring you this far. For the rest of the journey, you'll have to cross over on your own."
The people inside the cabin glanced at each other,苦笑ing helplessly.
Crossing十几kilometers of mountains would be a tremendous challenge for ordinary people, but for this group of highly trained Night Watchers, it was nothing difficult.
As the helicopter hovered above a cliff, one by one, figures wrapped in dark red cloaks leaped down swiftly. Hongying landed steadily on the ground with her rifle case, and in her peripheral vision, she saw several other helicopters in the nearby sky, also descending slowly.
"It looks like quite a few support teams have arrived." Wen Qimo commented.
"The Night Watch forces from the remaining eleven war passes have basically been mobilized." Molly watched the departing helicopter. "One could say nearly half of Great Xia's Night Watch forces are here."
"I never thought I'd witness such a grand spectacle in my lifetime." Wen Qimo苦笑ed.
The Night Watch team from Jialin Pass swiftly traversed between the mountains. When they climbed to the top of a peak, they finally caught a distant glimpse of that silver-white steel fortress.
Giant double-headed birds were circling above Chennan Pass's outer walls, emitting sharp, piercing cries. Compared to them, the dozen or so fighter jets flying within the pass appeared as small as sparrows. At the end of the northern sky, dense formations of fighter jets and bombers rushed forward urgently, engaging in fierce battles with several of the giant birds. The explosions turned one corner of the sky crimson.
More than half of the giant birds remained, staring intently at the interior of Chennan Pass, seemingly wanting to charge directly in, but hesitating for some reason.
On Chennan Pass's outer walls, there were cracks and fractures everywhere. The nearby mountain ranges had been flattened. Countless terrifying mega beasts with bizarre appearances surged across the shattered earth, attempting to breach Chennan Pass.
But Chennan Pass occupied such a vast area that to bypass it, the beasts would have to circumvent a steel outer wall with a diameter exceeding seventy kilometers. During this time, however, continuous waves of missiles and top-tier combat forces emerged, firmly holding back the beast hordes. Therefore, the beasts changed their strategy, constantly grouping together to charge at several weak points on the outer wall. They had already broken through several large openings, flooding疯狂ly into the gap between the inner and outer walls!
Within this gap, some long-range thermal weapons with high destructive power couldn't function, so they had to rely on large quantities of close-range thermal weapons and humans with close-combat capabilities to block them. Continuous beast roars echoed from between the inner and outer walls, shaking everyone's hearts.
"Has Chennan Pass's situation really become this dangerous?" Hongying's face turned grim at the sight.
"We need to speed up." Wen Qimo spoke solemnly. "If this continues, Chennan Pass may not hold out much longer."
Everyone immediately moved out, and under full-speed sprinting, Chennan Pass rapidly enlarged in their vision.
But at the same time, a small group of snakes lurking outside the outer wall also noticed them. They let out a furious roar and surged疯狂ly toward them!
"We've been spotted." Hongying's eyes narrowed. Her palm struck the long black case behind her, and a Hongying spear wrapped in rose-colored flames shot out!
She grabbed the spear, and the rose-colored flames interwove into a flowing, wide garment on her body's surface. Waves of炽热heat swept outward. "Prepare for battle!"
The dozen Night Watchers present simultaneously entered combat readiness. While rushing toward Chennan Pass at full speed, they prepared to intercept the snake group's assault from the side. As the terrifying pressure from the snake group gradually approached, everyone's forms grew solemn.
Among this group of Night Watchers, there were only two "Klein"-level powerhouses. The rest were mostly between the "Sea" realm and "Infinity." Although this snake group only had four giant snakes, the aura they emitted was basically at the "Klein" realm!
If they were forced to fight, it wasn't impossible, but the casualties would undoubtedly be staggering... They hadn't even entered Chennan Pass yet!
Just as everyone prepared to grit their teeth and fight, a Straight Blade wrapped in cyan light flashed from the nearby outer wall of Chennan Pass. The blade sliced through the air, instantly severing one giant snake's head!
Zuo Qing, wrapped in a dark red cloak, drifted to the side of the group like a ghost. He raised his hand and pulled the Straight Blade embedded in the ground from the earth. His exhausted eyes narrowed slightly.
"From Jialin Pass?" Zuo Qing's hoarse voice asked.
"That's right..."
"The side gate has been opened. Hurry up and get inside." Zuo Qing stared at the three giant snakes before him and the other beast hordes approaching in the distance, speaking in a low voice.
"Yes!"
Everyone showed not a moment's hesitation. They turned and rushed at full speed toward that gradually opening side gate in the outer wall. Reinforcements arriving from other passes also arrived in succession, quickly following suit.
This side gate's opening instantly attracted the attention of the large number of mega beasts patrolling outside the wall. They let out roars and swarmed toward the location. Several particularly large Divine Beasts directly locked onto Zuo Qing himself, as terrifying pressure came crashing down like a tidal wave.
Zuo Qing stood in place, slowly gripping the Straight Blade in his hand. His expression was incomparably calm.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—!
Figure after figure wrapped in golden cloaks swiftly descended from the outer wall, standing shoulder to shoulder with Zuo Qing.
At the head, Xia Simeng, captain of the [Phoenix] Squad, glanced at the dust-covered Zuo Qing and couldn't help but say: "Commander Zuo, perhaps... you should return inside to rest for a moment? You've been fighting continuously for nearly two days. Our squad can hold the line."
