The army was advancing at full speed. The remaining warriors were losing patience. It had only been seven or eight days. Lu Li must not have finished yet.
On the off chance that it was not ready, not only would they fail to accomplish their mission, but the warriors would have died in vain.
The warriors made up their minds and began to charge at the army directly. But they did it in groups. This way, the army could stop and buy more time.
A few dozen soldiers charging at millions of soldiers was like a few moths charging into a sea of fire.
Groups of martial artists died, all of them suicidal deaths. Many soldiers even chose to self-detonate, charging into the army and exploding themselves, taking away the lives of dozens of soldiers, even hundreds of them.
Before they died, the warriors smiled in satisfaction. They could die without regrets for the billions of people in the Boundless Ruins.
Three days later, the thousands of warriors and the Great Emperor Realm warriors had all passed away. The Saint Emperors did not go to their deaths.
It was not that they were afraid of death. It was just that Lu Li had given them an order to come back if they could not accomplish their mission. They could play a greater role if they were still useful.
The Saint Emperors came back as soon as they could and reported to Lord Li who then sent a message to Lu Li.
Lu Li had not shown himself recently. Nobody knew what he was doing.
But Lord Li and the others knew that Lu Li had been around and he had been making arrangements.
Tens of thousands of soldiers had already gathered in Fan City. They had been hastily gathered nearby, and it would take time to gather more.
What could tens of thousands of warriors do?
Lord Li and the others did not know. They were just following Lu Li's orders. They did not care whether they could succeed or not. It didn't matter if they died here.
Lu Li gave them another order, which was to build a super large shield outside the city. Inside the shield, smaller ones would be built and smaller ones would be built.
One layer after another. The stronger the defense, the better.
Lu Li also built some miscellaneous formations so that the ground below the city was covered with Runes …
At the same time, all the warriors were gathered in the city and the civilians were sent to the nearby mountains.
Saint Emperors and Great Emperor Realm warriors were in the city as well. Several warriors that were almost at the complete realm were stationed outside the city.
Lord Li felt that Lu Li's order was to use the tens of thousands of warriors and the Saint Emperors as bait to lure the enemies here.
The bait was often eaten by the fish!
With tens of thousands of soldiers and experts in the city, once they were surrounded by the armies of the three clans, only death awaited them.
They were not afraid of death. If their deaths were worthwhile, they would be willing to die here. They were afraid of dying for no reason and for no reason at all.
Lord Li was not clear about Lu Li's plan. Naturally, he could not explain to the warriors and warriors. He just told them to trust Lu Li.
If it were not for Lu Li, the Endless Ruins of Gods would have been destroyed and no one would have survived. So, what was the big deal if they died because of Lu Li?
Everyone's lives had been picked up from the ground.
With that said, all the experts calmed down.
Lu Li had defeated three alien races on his own. How could such a powerful warrior harm them?
What would Lu Li gain by harming them all?
Time passed by. The scouts were getting closer and closer, but there was no sign of Lu Li.
Most importantly … many scouts nearby did not see Lu Li making any arrangements. What was Lu Li doing?
What was Lu Li going to do?
Could Lu Li lead the warriors to victory?
Many questions popped up in the minds of the warriors. Nobody could give them an answer. They had to live day after day in anxiety and fear.
Two days later, when the armies were only hundreds of thousands of miles away, Lu Li's order was finally delivered.
He sent an order to all the experts and soldiers, telling them to defend the city and wait for further instructions. He told them to defend with all their might and hold on for as long as possible.
The shield in the city was activated. This shield did not have any energy. The energy was supported by divine energy and source of energy of warriors.
The tens of thousands of warriors and warriors were divided into two groups to pour divine energy and source of energy into the shield.
In this way, the shield would be more powerful. The shortcoming was that the warriors had to keep pouring divine energy and source of energy into the shield, which was costly.
The warriors swarmed over like a swarm of locusts. They used psychic power to check the warriors in the city.
When they discovered that there were only a few tens of thousands of people, they were somewhat dissatisfied. However, when they investigated again, they discovered that the tens of thousands of martial artists in the city were actually not ordinary citizens, but the elites of the elites. There were quite a few Emperor-level and Saint Emperors among them.
"What?"
The Eighth Elder and the other powerhouses were bewildered. What were these elite soldiers and powerhouses doing here?
Were they here to wait for death?
It would be better if they were initiating the attack. But why did they have to rely on the shield?
The shield seemed to be strong enough. But how long could it last?
The tens of thousands of warriors kept pouring divine energy and source of energy into the shield. Sooner or later, they would run out.
This was an army of five million soldiers. If these powerhouses joined in, it would be too easy to break through the Great City Barrier Formation.
Once the shield was cracked, the tens of thousands of warriors would be doomed. There was no doubt about it.
In other words, the tens of thousands of warriors were here to court death.
They had come from all directions to court death?
If the tens of thousands of warriors were sane, why would they travel such a long distance to court death?
They might as well learn from the thousands of warriors and assassinate. That would be better.
What were they doing in a city?
What was the point?
Patriarch Eight and the others could not figure it out. They all suspected that there was a conspiracy. If the tens of thousands of warriors were sane, then they must have gathered here for a purpose.
The reason why they had gathered here was to stall them and attract their attention.
In other words, the tens of thousands of warriors and warriors were bait. There must be someone else nearby!
Of the entire Endless Ruins of Gods, only one person could be the fisherman, and that was Lu Li.
In other words, this was a setup by Lu Li.
Since it was a setup, the warriors would not act rashly. At some point, Patriarch Eight even wanted to let the army retreat.
But the tens of thousands of warriors and warriors were too much bait. Patriarch Eight was reluctant to leave.
A small portion of the powerful warriors in the Endless Ruins of Gods must be gathered here.
There were so many Saint Kings and emperors. If they were all killed, then the Endless Ruins of Gods would not be strong enough to defend.
Also, they wanted to see what Lu Li had up his sleeve.
They had so many warriors and warriors. As long as they stayed together, what could Lu Li do to them?
"Investigate!"
Patriarch Eight thought about it for a while. He ordered the army to surround the city. Then, he asked a group of Saint Kings to investigate. Dozens of Saint Kings worked together.
If they were ambushed by powerful warriors, they were told to retreat at once and not to fight. At the same time, they were to send a message for help.
The scope of the investigation was limited to a radius of three hundred thousand miles and not too far away.
On the other side, Patriarch Eight and the others were wandering around as well. All the warriors that were close to the consummate realm moved together. They used psychic power to the limit to search for any suspicious traces. If they could find something, they could figure out what Lu Li was planning. Then, they could turn the tables on Lu Li and kill him.
