"My lord, let me go!"
After the call ended, Hundred Folds immediately stood up and used his blood-stained hand to pat his blood-stained chest … After seeing that there were still more than thirty surviving sword-bearers, Hundred Folds could not suppress the huge excitement in his heart at all, and the wound that had just healed with great difficulty burst open again.
"Sit down. Why are you so excited? Do you want to die?" Ju Wudao snorted coldly and asked. "You go?
Are your injuries healed?
Have you repaired your Thousand-Eye Sword?
Have you recovered all the sword elements in your body? "
Ju Wudao's three consecutive questions forced the pleated sword spirit back down. Indeed, if he went to save people now, he would be courting death.
"I'll go!"
Liu Lei said faintly. "This old bag of bones hasn't fought in a long time. It's a good time to get some exercise."
"You're not allowed to go either!"
Unexpectedly, Ju Wudao rebutted Liu Lei again. "The freelancer made it very clear that Loki is already there. There's no guarantee that other gods from the Western Pantheon won't appear. I don't want to lose one of the only two Immortal Sword level sword bearers in Yuzhang City just for the sake of thirty ancient sword and treasure sword bearers."
"It's just Loki. Even if he's an Eon level Yuan Kou, I'm confident that I can suppress him!"
Liu Lei frowned. His reputation as Cloudy Sky Sword Immortal wasn't just for show. He had fought for it. The number of Universe level and Eon level Yuan Kou that had died in Liu Lei's hands had reached a total of four. This was a very impressive achievement among all the Immortal Sword level sword bearers.
"What if it's not just Loki?
If Thunder God Thor, War God Tyr, or even the three Goddesses of Fate come, let me ask you, can one person defeat them? "Ju Wudao questioned Liu Lei again.
"How is that possible? Why would they all appear in Fort Yue Yang? If they really came, wouldn't that mean that they're declaring war on Yuzhang City …" At this point, Liu Lei's voice paused. "You're saying that they're going to declare war on us?
A great invasion is coming? "
"Although I'm not sure, from what Updraft said just now, the war is about to begin!
The great invasion is coming again! "
The flesh on Ju Wudao's face was squeezed together, forming many wrinkles. "Otherwise, why would the Western Divine System, whose territory is tens of thousands of kilometers away from us, cross such a long distance to attack our Yue Yang Fortress?
They even took the risk of becoming enemies with the free metropolis and forced the perverted Sunspot to help them teleport? "
"More importantly, Tear of Updraft said that the troops in Fort Yueyang are still increasing. If this isn't to deal with the entire Yuzhang City, then what is it for?"
"That's not necessarily true. Maybe the Freemen are lying to us. They're just putting on an act!" the Pleated Sword Spirit said, unconvinced.
"If they're just fooling us, it'll be even worse. I believe that the thirty sword-bearers must be surrounded by an inescapable net, waiting for us to stupidly send out reinforcements to rescue them!"
Ju Wudao swung his hand, showing his determination. "Sacrificing the lives of six people to save one person is something only idiotic Americans would do. I, Sword Immortal Baiju, will never do such a thing in my lifetime."
The sacrifice of six people to save one person that Ju Wudao was referring to was the movie "Saving Private Ryan" from before the Great Apocalypse.
This CD, which was found in the ruins, became a precious record for humans to understand the era before the Great Apocalypse.
However, at that time, the Longevity Jiandi had given the movie its harshest criticism.
"Sacrificing six people for one person is the stupidest trade in the world.
If anyone dares to do such a trade in the future, he or she will be a traitor to humanity! "
Just because of that one sentence from the Sword Emperor Longevity, the story of this movie had become the target of collective criticism from all of humanity.
Indeed, six sword-bearers for one sword-bearer. Human sword-bearers were not like soldiers on the battlefield.
Soldiers only needed to issue a mobilization order to continuously mobilize millions of people, which were equivalent to consumables.
However, the sword-bearers were too precious. Every death of a sword-bearer meant one less precious force. Not to mention six for one, even six for five was impossible.
"The fate of Yuzhang City is in our hands this time. I must ensure that all our forces are concentrated in Yuzhang City. Only by doing so can we protect Yuzhang City. As for those sword-bearers who are waiting for our rescue, I can only apologize to them. Their heroic deeds will be engraved on stone tablets in the future!"
Ju Wudao's words were very serious and ruthless. The lives of more than 30 sword-bearers were completely sacrificed because of his words.
"Hehe, what a benevolent Chairman of the Sword Committee. My brothers haven't even died yet, but you've already begun to prepare stone tablets for them. To have such a Chairman of the Sword Committee, I, the Pleated Sword, am truly blessed!"
The Pleated Sword Spirit's words were very calm, but the suppressed anger within could not be hidden from anyone.
"Alright, Lord Baiju, I can understand that you're doing this for Yuzhang City. Please understand me as well!
Even if I'm alone, I'll save my brothers! "After saying that, the Pleated Sword Spirit turned around and left the conference room to save his brothers.
"Brainless fool!"
Ju Wudao's face darkened. A solid sword aura shot out from his body and turned into chains that instantly bound the Pleated Sword Spirit's body. The Pleated Sword Spirit lost his balance and fell to the ground, splattering blood all over the floor.
"Let me go!
Let me go! "
The Pleated Sword Spirit struggled with all his might. However, he was seriously injured and the sword essence in his body had been depleted. He could not resist Ju Wudao's imprisonment at all.
"Guards!
Bring the Pleated Sword Spirit to the hospital and give him ten times the sedative. Before I give the order, let him lie in the medical chamber and sleep forever. Do you understand? "
Ju Wudao said to his two subordinates who had walked in. The two subordinates saluted, lifted the struggling Pleated Sword Spirit, and left the conference room.
"Old man, are you dissatisfied with how I've dealt with him?"
Liu Lei had witnessed the entire process of how Ju Wudao dealt with the Pleated Sword Spirit. There was a faint smile on his face … or perhaps it was a mocking smile … or a bitter smile … or a sad smile.
"No, if I were you, I would have done the same!"
Liu Lei shook his head. "I'm just a little touched. Since when did Yuzhang City fall to the point where even its own people can't save them?
If the Terminator Jiandi was still alive, Yuzhang City would have gone to save these 30 poor fellows even if they had to sacrifice everything they had! "
The Terminator Jiandi was the previous Jiandi born in Yuzhang City. When Liu Lei was still a 14-year-old child, the Terminator Jiandi had already ascended to immortality. Since then, there had been no Jiandi in Yuzhang City for more than 70 years.
"If I were Jiandi, I could take back the entire Yueyang Fortress all by myself. I wouldn't give up on those children!"
Ju Wudao smiled bitterly. "Unfortunately, this is just an 'if'. Yuzhang City may be facing a life-and-death situation. I can't act on impulse. I have to remain absolutely calm."
"Yes, it's because of your calmness that I took the initiative to give up when I was fighting for the position of the Sword Committee Chairman. I knew that I would never have your calmness!" Liu Lei said with a face full of memories. Those days were so nostalgic.
"If I could, I would rather be like you and stay in the Sword Pavilion. I don't want to be tortured by these painful things for the rest of my life!" Ju Wudao let out a long sigh. "I'm going to draft an order. Come along!"
"You decide. I have no objections," Liu Lei said.
"BAT, I'm going to issue the Sword Committee Chairman's Order. You're responsible for recording it."
"BAT understands. Yuzhang City Chairman's Order No. 869 is being recorded. Please announce the order," an electronic voice said in the room.
"Pass down my order. The entire Yuzhang City is on red alert. Abandon all the beacon towers outside the absolute safety zone. Gather the sword bearers who leave the beacon towers to the large fortress with the quantum transmission array to monitor the surroundings of Yuzhang City."
"Withdraw all the people in the Meiling Mountain range. Sword bearers, ordinary people, and miners, all retreat to Yuzhang City.
Leave a small team to guard the quantum transmission array. Once there is any danger, this team can immediately retreat to Yuzhang City without asking for permission.
All the equipment that can be taken away will be taken away, and those that can't be taken away will be left there. If it's destroyed, then so be it. We can rebuild it in the future. "
"Oh, by the way, the same goes for the sword bearers in the fortress. Once they discover that Yuan Kou is launching a large-scale attack and the fortress can't defend, immediately retreat through the quantum transmission array without asking for permission."
"Work outside the absolute safety zone as usual, but everyone must maintain a smooth communication channel. You are not allowed to leave the area within ten kilometers of your camp. Once you receive the warning of Yuan Kou's attack, immediately retreat."
"Immediately retreat by car back to Yuzhang City."
"Send out all the large heavy-duty vehicles to transport all the various resources we have stored outside the city back to Yuzhang City.
The preparations for this attack are much greater than the previous two. This time, it is very likely to become a tug-of-war. We must ensure that the city has enough resources to withstand it. "
"Immediately start a news control. News of the attack must only be known by the higher-ups. We must strictly keep it a secret from the civilians. We cannot let the city fall into chaos … Oh, no, our actions are too obvious. There are many strange people among the civilians. They will not let go of this opportunity to create chaos.
Still, tell them that the attack is imminent, but this is a completely controllable attack. Yuzhang City is absolutely safe. "
"Also, send out a recall order. Immediately recall all the sword bearers who are adventuring outside. Tell them not to go in the direction of Yue Yang. That place is already under Yuan Kou's control. Tell them to take a detour and return to Yuzhang City from the southeast."
"Send a distress signal to the other seven cities, especially Yan Jing City. Yuzhang City is finished. It's best to let them send their own immortal sword bearers over to support us.
Then, contact Wu Zhang Shi Fang alone. Tell him that he can return the favor now. "
"Note that the Eagle Cat Sword Spirit's team does not need to return."
"Finally, reopen all the underground shelters. Start cleaning up the shelter's sanitation. Check the shelter's ventilation and nutrient storage. It's been twelve years. It's time to reopen the shelters again."
