"You all stay here, no matter what happens outside, don't come out."
"Also, don't even think about escaping. Running will only lead to death. If you stay here, I might still have a chance to plead for your survival."
After simply conveying this to the sequence-level experts behind him, Arthur's body began to tremble. In a moment, the knight armor emerged from within, enveloping Arthur's body.
"Lord Arthur... what are you doing?"
A voice from behind, one of the sequence-level experts, inquired. Hearing this, Arthur abruptly forced a smile.
"Facing our destiny!"
Arthur stated, his eyes flashing with determination.
Once, Tang Haofei had suppressed an entire era with his own strength! He did not just overpower the Earth and Wen Yu; he also subdued the demonic clan, dominating the entire apocalypse.
He had given the entire Earth over a decade of developmental time!
Once, Wen Yu took control of the Layered Battlefield, formed the soul puppet legion, and served as the beijing commander-in-chief, marking a transition from the old to the new. However, what remained unchanged was the ultimate combat power that continued to dominate everything!
With Wen Yu in command, the entire world was free from the troubles of the demonic disaster and the pressure of life and death!
This was another several decades of growth space!
But at this moment, both Wen Yu and Tang Haofei were trapped, even the strongest of the new generation, Tang Hao, was also ensnared.
It seemed Arthur recalled what Wen Yu had once said to them.
"This is your battle!"
"Go bleed, go kill, go fight; it's time for you to contribute!"
"When will it be time for us to contribute..."
Arthur murmured softly, and the sequence-level experts behind him fell silent upon hearing this.
It was as if it were a passing of the torch, a mission's inheritance. Once, Tang Haofei and Wen Yu had provided them with ample time to develop. Now, under the burden of having lost their two heavens, this pressure fell squarely on the heads of these average individuals.
They needed to uphold responsibility, bear the mission, and at the very least, leave a visible future for the next generation.
"Though there's not much I can do, at least, I will try, I will try to carve out a path for survival for you."
This thought flickered deep within, as Arthur raised his Heavy Sword and stepped outside.
...
At the center of the forward base, Qin Tian and Caius had already engaged the clones. Yet, the clone seemed completely indifferent to Qin Tian's sword energy; he merely waved his hand, and the sky once again flashed with thunderclouds.
Any defensive barrier has a limit to its total energy. If one attack cannot break through, then two, three, countless times! No defense can withstand continuous onslaught!
The clone was persistent, and his tactical approach was correct. Even though Beijing had invested massive resources to build the forward base's defense system, it was originally only intended to face ordinary demonic clan assaults.
Because in this world, there was simply no defense capable of withstanding the strongest expert's attacks!
When it came to Wen Yu, Tang Haofei, and even the likes of the one-eyed and the star, aside from revival items and certain special effect items, they wouldn't waste their resources on anything else useless in combat!
If the forward base's defense system could withstand a million level-eight demonic creatures' frenzied assault for several years, then facing Tang Haofei's clone, with it holding out for eight or nine parts, would be already remarkable!
As the thunderclouds struck down, the defensive shield emitted a strained hum, and the second and third thunder crashed one after another, darkening the barrier at an alarming rate.
Seeing this, Qin Tian's offensive became even more ferocious, but Caius continued to build up power, showing no signs of worry.
This was simply because Caius, as the commander of the forward base, understood just how powerful their painstakingly constructed base was!
