Douluo Continent: My Days in the Tang Sect.

Chapter 1318 Sleep your ass! Get up and fight!

Ligu City is a city that is somewhat famous for its grain production.

With the arrival of war, a large number of soldiers were stationed in the city.

Many businessmen began to leave the city.

But a large number of civilians still remain here. Their ancestors have lived here for generations, and they don't know where else to go if they leave.

Strategically, this place was used as a transit point; however, none of the generals of the Heavenly Soul Empire chose to drive away the civilians in the city.

They have a place to stay, and the other side has strategic resources.

Those wealthy people who had already fled left behind their houses.

Rows of barricades were installed, and cannons were erected.

"General, the watchtower has been built, and the bunker has been dug!"

"Very good. Check all the equipment carefully, and make sure no weapons are damaged in battle!"

General Ma An is one of the high-ranking generals of the Heavenly Soul Empire, and is a general specifically tasked with targeting the Sun Moon Empire.

"It would have been better if this day had never come."

On the city wall, Ma An's expression was complicated as he slowly stroked the bricks and stones with his large hand.

He is forty-two years old this year, in the prime of his life.

The reason for this sentiment is that only when war actually occurs can one truly appreciate its cruelty.

Behind him were rows of houses.

Each house houses a family.

As a general, he did not want war to break out, because for the Heavenly Soul Empire, this was undoubtedly like a toddler who had just learned to walk challenging a master who was proficient in all kinds of weapons.

As a general, Ma An was well aware of the current strength of the Heavenly Soul Empire.

"Report! General! A large number of unidentified creatures have been discovered to the north!"

"They're moving very fast! They're less than a kilometer from the city!"

Upon hearing this, Ma An was struck dumb.

"What legion? They arrived so quickly? And there are unidentified creatures?"

Ma An didn't have time to think too much and immediately ordered his soldiers to sound the alarm and put the whole city on high alert.

Although Ma An was a top-ranking general in the Heavenly Soul Empire, he knew absolutely nothing about abyssal creatures.

He adopted a conservative strategy, using the city walls as a defense to buy time and assess the weaknesses of the abyssal creatures.

Such a strategy would undoubtedly be suitable for human beings.

But Ma'an was facing creatures from the abyss.

Faced with towering city walls and overwhelming soul-guided weapon fire, the Abyss Burrowing Beast directly burrowed underground and, with a ruthless attitude, charged into Ligu City, bursting out of the ground and causing chaos.

Ma An was stunned. Although Ligu City was not a large or important city, it had all the necessary defensive features, including mixed soil layers and underground defensive traps.

But from all over the city, abyssal burrowing beasts kept emerging and began to destroy everything around them. Their thick tails, which were like battle axes, could destroy a large house with just one strike.

"Form ranks! Control these beasts! Cover the civilians' evacuation!"

The soldiers of the Heavenly Soul Empire continued to charge and form formations, depleting the power of the Abyss Burrowing Beasts.

Several Soul Douluos charged out, cooperating with each other. After consuming more than half of their soul power, they finally found the weakness of the Abyss Burrowing Beast and killed one of them.

Before anyone could react, a mournful cry came from the city gate.

The heavily forged wooden city gate collapsed.

Ma An was so enraged that his eyes turned bloodshot, and the steel knife in his hand had already chipped.

"Kill those still standing! The wounded! Run!"

The fall of the city signifies the failure of their resistance.

But Ma An refused to retreat; he believed that as long as the city stood, he would live, but if the city fell, he would die!

The cries of the people and the raging fire relentlessly irritated Ma An's nerves.

"Delay it a little longer! Let them get further away!"

"Just a little longer! Get moving!"

"God, please let me stall a little longer!"

The abyss is teeming with creatures, each one fierce and fearless, and trading injury for injury is the most common practice.

The soldiers of the Heavenly Soul Empire suffered a great loss; it was not that they were unafraid of death, nor that they were able to absorb energy to continue enduring.

The battle was fierce. Ma An and his personal guards fought desperately, holding off most of the abyssal creatures and buying time for the people of Ligu City to escape.

But as the abyssal creatures grew more ferocious, they even learned to let one of them, at the cost of severe injury, allow another abyssal creature to kill the soldier, thus sharing the spoils.

Ma'an's left hand was broken, and his burly body swayed precariously amidst the terrifying roars of the abyssal creatures.

He was finally about to give up.

"I've killed so many beasts, I guess I've gotten my money's worth!"

His vision was blurred, but he vaguely saw light appearing in the sky.

"Is it God who has come...?"

He whispered, and then a surge of energy suddenly welled up within him.

"Please save us!!! God, please help us..."

The latest novel is first published here!

The response to Ma An was neither a miracle nor a divine voice.

Instead, it was the fierce barrage of fire from the Fire Phoenix Soul Mentorship Team!

"Sisters! Kill these beasts!"

Jin Feng carried a heavy cannon on her shoulder, aimed at a darting Sharp Blade Demon, and fired a missile that hit its mark precisely.

To support Ye Guyi, Ju Zi equipped Ye Guyi's team with soul tools that were at least level seven, including soul-guided cannonballs.

With a powerful and wealthy backer, the Fire Phoenix Squad unleashed terrifying combat power.

Wu Ruifeng, a member of the Fire Phoenix Soul Mentorship Team, is a Luan-level member, whose rank is only below that of Feng-level members.

She had two small cannons attached to her shoulders, and she wielded an electric whip in each hand.

One lash is enough to smash the head of a scythe-beast, while the small turret on her shoulder is enough for her to deal with abyssal creatures at mid-range.

She charged ahead, cutting into the rear of the abyss creatures, and her electric whips combined into a long staff.

"Hehe! The Hunter Division's new equipment! Hundred Demon Annihilation Electric Whirlwind!"

The stun baton spun rapidly like a tornado, electrocuting all the abyssal creatures it inhaled into a stream of electricity.

As for Wu Ruifeng, a Luan-level combatant, after earning merits, he can "buy" these two multi-functional electric whips and use them as his own weapons.

Therefore, every member of the Fire Phoenix Squad worked incredibly hard.

Ma An subconsciously thought that reinforcements had arrived, and the last breath he had been holding on for so long finally dissipated.

A relieved smile appeared on his face, and the world before him seemed to slow down.

He fell to the ground, covered in hundreds of wounds of varying sizes.

If he hadn't clung to life, he would have died in battle long ago.

"I'm leaving it all to you."

With a relieved smile, Ma An slowly closed his eyes.

"Shut up! Get up and fight!"

A medic rushed forward, pointing his healing gun at Ma An's chest, and simultaneously stuffed a golden pill emitting a rich medicinal fragrance into Ma An's mouth.

A powerful surge of energy and life energy erupted within Ma An's body.

"Ugh!"

Ma An suddenly opened his eyes and sat up abruptly.

"I'm alive?!"

"Nonsense! Rise up and fight! Don't be afraid to die! The glory of the holy angels shines upon you. As long as your head isn't severed and your vital organs aren't broken, you won't die at my hands!"

The medic said authoritatively, while helping Ma An up.

"A holy angel??"

Ma An murmured unconsciously, and then, following the medic's instructions, he looked towards the distant battlefield.

Amidst the monstrous torrent of abyssal creatures, a golden light that seemed to pierce the heavens and earth suddenly shone forth.

An angelic figure with eight wings on its back stands, holding a sword. (End of Chapter)
