The shouts were like waves sweeping through Shangjing. Familiar and unfamiliar names resounded throughout the country.
The time came to 8: 30, half an hour before they enter the Bedlam Lands.
At this moment, there were already eight to nine hundred people gathered around Lin Feng. There are still people joining in.
In front of them, there are fifty thousand soldiers.
They are wearing military uniforms. Their eyes are firm and their expressions are solemn and cold. Every one of them has a belt around their waist and a submachine gun in their hands.
Due to the instability of the Dimensional Door, weapons like rocket launchers cannot be used. However, submachine guns and grenades can be used.
In such a large scale war, there are no restrictions on the use of weapons.
Fifty thousand soldiers, the majority of them are Intermediate Fighters. There are very few Advanced Fighters and even fewer Demon Spiritualists.
These soldiers aren't strong, but they are well trained and have a tacit understanding with each other.
Fighting as a team, even if Lin Feng and his group were to encounter them, they can only avoid them.
It's not that they can't defeat them, but it's not necessary.
Because it would waste a large amount of soul force.
Looking at the densely packed soldiers in front of him, Lin Feng sighed in his heart.
Having participated in the battle for the key, he knows the role of these soldiers.
With the strength of these soldiers, it's impossible for them to fight for the key.
Their role is to be cannon fodder!
It's cruel, but that's the truth.
Aside from protecting them, the soldiers' main task is to use their lives to weaken the enemy's numbers and soul force.
The soldiers clearly know their role and responsibility. Their eyes were fearless and filled with ruthlessness. They already have the thought of dying.
War is cruel. Fifty thousand soldiers, the chances of surviving is less than ten percent.
In the face of a real war, life is fragile and cheap. A war between two different worlds is even more bloody and cruel. There's no possibility of compromise.
As the time approached, the atmosphere became more and more oppressive. The oppressive atmosphere was filled with sadness.
The representatives of the Glory of Glory clan, as well as the geniuses who were previously registered and received rewards, arrived one after another. There were also some who didn't receive any rewards, but volunteered to enter.
When the time came to 9: 00, including Lin Feng and his group, the number of volunteers has already exceeded a thousand.
"First group, enter!"
Following a roar.
The soldiers, who were originally standing still, began to walk up the platform. They formed groups of a hundred and slowly but firmly stepped into the Dimensional Door.
Before Lin Feng and his group enter, they need to clear the obstacles and reduce the enemy's numbers.
"Glory!"
The moment the soldiers entered the Fringe, the crowd roared madly. Every one of them stood up straight and put their right hand on their chest as a sign of respect.
As soon as the roar started, it instantly spread to the entire city and even the entire country. Everyone who was watching in front of the TV stood up straight and shouted with their right hand on their chest.
Linfeng was the same at this time, shouting loudly.
Soldiers deserved everyone's respect.
No matter when, it was always the soldiers who were at the forefront to protect the country.
These soldiers were already prepared to die. Compared to them, the chances of survival were even lower.
The words "Glory of Glory" resounded throughout the country.
The soldiers entered the portal in silence. When all the soldiers had entered the Fringe, Hong Tao stepped forward and said, "That's right.
"Since you've appeared here, you're all prepared to sacrifice yourselves."
"You are all heroes!
It was the pride of the country!
You are the pride of your parents and relatives! "
"You all know how important this key is!
Its ownership will determine whether or not the second spatial portal will appear! "
"To a certain extent, it will also determine whether the war will come early or not!"
"No matter what the result is, whether or not you get the key, you must let the aliens know the price of invading."
He didn't give any encouragement before the battle, nor did he say any useless words. None of that was meaningful to Lin Feng and the others.
Hong Tao only emphasized the importance of this key again.
"These words don't leave a way out at all."
Yu Qiao whispered, his tone was a little unhappy.
The others also had solemn expressions.
Linfeng was silent. Although Hong Tao's words were cruel, they were the truth.
If they failed to obtain the key, if they could inflict heavy casualties on the enemy, they would definitely be fearful. This was also a way to prevent the fusion of the second spatial portal.
It was cruel, but it was a way.
Everyone's expression was serious as they entered the Fringe in an orderly manner.
At this moment, when they finally stepped onto the platform, even if they were prepared, they still felt hesitant and fearful.
In front of Linfeng, a young man in his twenties was trembling, his face pale.
He seemed to want to take a step forward, but his body was stiff.
"Haha."
Seeing the young man's appearance, his teammates couldn't help but laugh.
The young man wasn't an exception. There were even some whose bodies collapsed, collapsing onto the ground and trembling.
Soldiers didn't have the right to choose, but volunteers did.
Facing the upcoming battle, some people began to feel fear, and it wasn't just a small number. Over a hundred people chose to give up, including some geniuses and representatives of the Glory and Glory clans.
There were even Kings!
"A bunch of cowards!"
Yu Qiao laughed with a hint of mockery.
Linfeng calmly looked at this scene, seeing the embarrassment and paleness of the deserters, but he didn't laugh.
Those who were able to stand here were already much more courageous than the vast majority of people.
They had the courage to fight against the other races.
However, not everyone was prepared to die.
Before entering the spatial portal, Linfeng couldn't help but look back at his family.
In this time, Linfeng's figure appeared.
Linfeng didn't stop, nor did he find his family, but he knew that they could see him.
He smiled and waved at his family, then turned and entered the Fringe.
In the crowd, Lin Fang and the others were crying, but like the others, they used all their strength to shout:
"The Glory and Glory!"
"The Glory and Glory!"
"The Glory and Glory!"
Looking at the disappearing figures, the shouts became louder and louder.
When everyone disappeared, the shouts didn't stop. The continuous shouts made people's voices hoarse, but they still didn't stop. They shouted hysterically, "Return in triumph!"
When everyone's backs disappeared into the spatial portal, the live broadcast on the light screen and television was cut off, leaving only a line of white words: "They're still fighting. What right do you have to give up!?"
They're still fighting. What right do you have to give up!?
This line of words didn't make much sense, but it made many people's hearts tremble slightly.
These days, due to the fusion of the dimensional portals, society was in turmoil.
In the face of the upcoming war, many people chose to lie down and wait for death, enjoying life in advance.
At this moment, these people stared at the line of words in a daze, their eyes full of shame.
Yes!
Others were fighting with their lives. What right did they have to give up?
At this moment, many parents looked at their dispirited children and went forward to give them a hard slap!
Some even packed their luggage and chased their children out of the house.
Many people who had resigned and planned to enjoy life returned to the company with shame and continued to work.
After everyone entered the spatial portal, Hong Tao and the other two turned around and looked at the glowing portal with different expressions.
"Sigh."
Xie Chun, the Transcendent, sighed.
They could also enter the Land of Chaos, but as Emperors, they didn't need to take such risks.
Under the circumstances of suppressing their strength, they could also die.
The impact of the fall of an Emperor was too great. Currently, there were only a dozen Emperors in China.
"Are Yu Jing and Fu Bohong here?" Hong Tao looked at Xie Chun and asked.
"Old Fu will be here, but he said it will take another two days. Yu Jing has to suppress the spatial portal. It's not safe there, so he might not be able to leave."
Yu Jing and Fu Bohong were both the 13 Emperors.
If the fight for the key failed, the Land of Chaos might be invaded by the alien race. The three Emperors couldn't guarantee that nothing would happen.
"What's the response from the Pure Land?"
Hong Tao continued to ask.
This time, the fusion of the spatial portals concerned the whole world. If the Pure Land helped, they would be more confident and Shang Jing would be safer.
Xie Chun looked helpless and said, "No response. It's not the last moment of life and death. They probably won't help."
Hong Tao was expressionless when he heard this. It seemed that he had already guessed this.
The 12 Heavenly Kings of the Pure Land were not weaker than him. If they could help, the fusion of the spatial portals would be much less stressful.
The 13 Emperors of China had their own responsibilities and couldn't be easily mobilized. The other Emperors also had their own selfish motives.
They didn't enjoy the worship, so they didn't have any obligations.
Even the country could only discuss and not order them.
"The spatial portals have already been fused. It's not the time of life and death yet?"
Hong Tao sneered and said with a mocking tone.
"This time, three Apostles entered the Land of Chaos. It's considered the Pure Land's attitude," Xie Chun said.
Hong Tao smiled and said, "24 Apostles. Although their status is only below the Heavenly Kings, it's not a big deal if they die.
The Kings won't really feel bad.
There will be new Apostles soon. Apostles can't represent the Pure Land's attitude.
Moreover, these three Apostles are the weakest among the Apostles. "
In the eyes of the Emperors, the Kings were nothing.
In China, there were five to six hundred Kings, but less than 20 Emperors.
Among the 24 Apostles, only three were worthy of his attention.
Although the three of them were only Apostles, two of them were already Emperors. The last one wasn't an Emperor, but he had the strength of an Emperor.
If a Heavenly King was injured or died, these three Apostles could replace him and become the new Heavenly King.
"It's better than nothing. Even the weakest Apostles are stronger than the average Kings!"
Xie Chun said. Hong Tao was silent and didn't refute.
Xie Chun's eyes flickered. He seemed to be hesitating, but in the end, he looked at Hong Tao and asked,
"What are your plans for letting the Spiritualists enter the Land of Chaos?"
Spiritualists were war machines and the best tools to develop the spatial portals of different dimensions.
Other than Hong Tao being a Transcendent and enjoying special privileges, the Spiritualists were also the main reason why the Hong family could develop so well.
The Spiritualists were very powerful.
However, the fight for the key this time was too dangerous. Facing all kinds of prodigies and powerhouses, even the Spiritualists had a high chance of dying.
If the Spiritualists died, the novice monks would be freed and would definitely slaughter humans.
Moreover, if the Spiritualists were discovered, the other races would hunt them down.
"Plans?
Why ask when you already know the answer? Haven't you guessed it already? "
Hong Tao smiled at Xie Chun. His seemingly sincere smile had a hint of coldness.
Xie Chun's expression changed slightly. She felt a chill in her heart.
Facing Hong Tao's gaze, she subconsciously looked away.
Hong Tao had dark skin and a strong body. He didn't look like an Emperor in his gray clothes. Instead, he looked more like an old farmer. He looked honest, but his heart was more ruthless than anyone else.
Hong Tao's answer had already confirmed her guess.
The Spiritualists were like a bomb.
A bomb that could be detonated at any time.
If the fight for the key failed, Hong Tao might detonate the bomb.
If a Heaven-ranked beast was detonated, the dimension would collapse and most people would die.
This included Hong Tao's son, Hong Li.
Hong Li, a Martial King expert, was also one of the guardians of Shang Jing.
This should be the reason why Hong Tao only allowed people to enter and not leave.
If no one knew the truth, no one would be disappointed.
Even if someone guessed, Hong Tao's son had already sacrificed himself, so no one dared to say anything.
The soldiers were already prepared to die.
However, more than half of the thousand volunteers were geniuses and Kings.
Linfeng, who was invincible among his peers, the Bramble Demonic Dragon Ye Qiu, the Beastman Yunkai, the Six-Armed Heavenly Demon Zhan Tianyu … They were all super geniuses and representatives of the younger generation.
There were also the guardians of the major base cities, Yang Qing of Shang Jing, Wang Zun of Shanghai. These Kings were the leaders of the Glory Clan and could become Emperors in the future.
If these people died, there would be a gap in the strong.
Obviously, Hong Tao didn't care about these geniuses in the face of the invasion of the other races.
If a real war broke out, these geniuses would only be cannon fodder.
However, these people represented the major forces and financial groups in the country. If they all died, even they would be under great pressure.
Xie Chun looked at Hong Tao with fear in her eyes.
Hong Tao was indeed ruthless to be willing to sacrifice his own son.
The Martial King Chen Tiangeng, who had been silent, also changed his expression. He wanted to say something, but in the end, he didn't say anything.
If the key was really taken away by the other races, this was indeed a solution.
A way to make the other races fearful.
However, this method was too cruel.
However, compared to the invasion of the other races and the outbreak of a full-scale war, this sacrifice was the least.
However, in his opinion, such a sacrifice would only buy some time. It wouldn't change the situation at all.
Seeing the complicated expressions of Xie Chun and Chen Tiangeng, Hong Tao's expression didn't change. He didn't care.
He dared to do this because he had something to rely on.
"Don't look at me like that. This is only the last step. Maybe we will get the key."
