CHAPTER TEXT:
"There’s one more chapter, but it’s probably going to be the early morning~~"
When the first batch of fifty thousand posthumous child warriors arrived and replaced the cloud summit warriors, the evolvers guarding the city finally got some rest after so many days.
They returned to their respective homes, too exhausted to even wash up, and fell asleep immediately.
As for where these oddly-shaped warriors, who had suddenly appeared from the black hole, came from, they were curious, but it wasn't enough to keep them from resting. After all, they were just helpers brought in by their boss.
Once the posthumous children ascended the city walls, they were startled by the densely packed mutated life forms outside. They had anticipated that the battle would be difficult, but they had not expected to face so many enemies.
Liang Chuyin, Miya, Afo, and others, who had a preliminary grasp of both Earth and posthumous child languages, acted as translators, coordinating the city defenses according to the arrangements made by the commanders who remained at the Cloud Summit.
The siege by mutated life forms had never ceased, so once the posthumous children reached the walls, they were immediately thrown into battle. Although they did not recognize the zombies or the mutated plants and animals on Earth, it did not prevent them from identifying the magic crystals. After all, the colors of the magic crystals here represented the same levels as those in the Blue Secret Realm, which mitigated their unfamiliarity with fighting in a new environment.
At the same time, having come from the Blue Secret Realm, the slight increase in strength excited the posthumous child warriors, making them feel the thrill of battle.
Leading the first team was King Zun Hongxiang, an eighth-level King Zun who had long been curious about Ye Zhongming's world. His presence here as a representative was also a consideration of the good relationship between the two parties.
Although they had to fight upon arrival, King Hongxiang's first impression of Earth remained remarkably positive.
The air, temperature, humidity, weather, and soil here were all vastly superior to those in the Blue Secret Realm. Fertile lands covered in wild grasses lay in places with no one farming them, and even using battle skills felt slightly stronger.
For the posthumous children, this place was like paradise.
Moreover, having Ye Zhongming and the Cloud Summit Villa as their local support, there was almost no risk in putting down roots here.
King Hongxiang felt fortunate for having agreed to the land equivalence exchange with Ye Zhongming.
He understood that Ye Zhongming desired magic crystals and various materials from the secret realm, but so what? Those items were useless to the posthumous children, and exchanging them for a piece of land suitable for their reproduction was perfectly reasonable.
Ye Zhongming remained in the Blue Secret Realm to guard the Key of the Secret Realm while also frantically creating equipment. Many of the later-arriving posthumous child warriors ended up with gray or even white weapons in their hands.
King Hongxiang knew he needed to perform well to impress Ye Zhongming's people with the strength of the posthumous children; otherwise, he would be looked down upon.
With an eighth-level powerhouse like King Hongxiang leading a sharp squad composed of many sixth and even seventh-level warriors, any level of mutated life form attacking the city walls was instantly repelled. The defense line composed of posthumous children held firm as if it were made of rock, even without the support of Cloud Summit's high-tech weapons.
At the same time, batches of improved immunity potions were sent up to the city walls. These, along with the evolution potions, had originally been prepared for future members of the Cloud Summit. However, after days of guarding the city, the evolution potions had been used up, leaving only the immunity potions, which were now just right to use for these posthumous children to prevent them from getting infected.
