Ten thousand I am across the heavens

The mountains and hills may seem barren, but in fact they are full of villages. Even if there were no villages in these places originally, as long as there are rich natural resources, the major families will find ways to send people here to cultivate and collect the surrounding resources.

But now this place has become a battlefield, and the mortals living here have no idea what is happening, and many people don't even have a chance to escape. This is the cruelty of this world.

Jiao Ankang moved to live near Sanwang Mountain 10 years ago. He still remembers that at that time, the earth suddenly cracked, and a flood rushed through, submerging the village.

The fields were submerged by the flood before they could be harvested. The village was reduced to ruins in an instant. He was one of the few people who was not in the village at the time. He escaped the disaster by going up the mountain to chop firewood. When he returned home, he found that the village had become a swamp. Almost all of his family members were buried there.

He didn't understand what was happening, all he could do was leave his home and go to other villages nearby, trying his best to survive.

Time will gradually dilute the sorrow. Days passed one after another. He was in other villages and towns. He received a sign from the local family. He was assigned to a village at the foot of Sanwang Mountain to cultivate land there.

Life seemed to have returned to normal. Jiao Ankang relied on his own strength and his young body at that time to at least live a good life in the village and marry a famous beauty in the village. Although in the eyes of people from a real family, this is just a village girl. But for an ordinary person, this is already very enviable.

Ten years passed in a blink of an eye. Jiao Ankang thought he could live a peaceful life. He worked hard on the land and paid rent honestly. He went to the mountains and forests to collect precious materials day after day. Until he grew old and his children grew up.

But the horrible disaster came again. The earth began to shake again, and there were roars in the distance. The villagers were at a loss. Some people climbed to a high place and looked into the distance. They wanted to know what was happening in the distance.

Some people lay on the ground and listened carefully, trying to hear clearly what the loud noises in the distance meant.

Only Jiao Ankang knew what these loud noises meant. He was in the yard, turning over and drying rice. His face suddenly turned pale, and he rushed into the field desperately, pulled up his wife and children who were still working in the field, and desperately ran in the opposite direction of the sound.

He thought he had forgotten everything that happened 10 years ago, but when he heard the loud noises again, everything that had happened came back to him. He finally recalled the details he had seen, and recalled the past that he had actively forgotten. Those were figures standing proudly in the sky.

They were so powerful and arrogant, they could smash mountains and rivers with their fists and step on the sun and the moon. And he was just an ant under the broken mountains and rivers. Mountains and rivers were broken, boulders collapsed, and mudslides rolled down from the tops of the mountains. The surging rivers were blocked and silted up to form barrier lakes, which eventually broke through the barrier of boulders and surged down, turning into a flood. His former home was destroyed in this way.

What kind of disaster would he face this time? He had no idea. Maybe it was a flood. Or a terrifying earthquake. Or even underground fire gushing out from the ground. Strong light burning down from the sky. Facing a Gu Master, mortals were so fragile that they would break at the slightest touch. All he could do was run away. How far could he run away with just a pair of legs? How could he escape from a disaster that could easily cover dozens of miles with just his legs?

The loud noise in the sky became louder and louder, and the ground beneath our feet began to tremble. Some houses began to collapse, and those villagers who had not yet realized the seriousness of the problem finally began to flee, but Jiao Ankang knew that running away was meaningless. It was just a last-ditch struggle.

The shadow of everything that happened 10 years ago reappeared before his eyes. This time the disaster was even more horrible than the last time. With a series of loud noises from the earth, a very bright fire suddenly flashed in the distance. It was a barren mountain. He remembered that he had been asked to go there to collect herbs. He remembered that it was a bald mountain that was even more barren than other mountains.

Today, he finally knew why the mountain was barren. Because it was a volcano. Amidst the loud bang, the volcano seemed to be hit by a meteorite. The top of the mountain suddenly cracked, and countless boulders flew thousands of meters into the sky, drawing a parabola and flying towards the distance. Then the mountain exploded completely. Magma and boulders flew into the sky together, releasing thick black smoke in the air, drawing bright flames, and falling like a meteor shower.

Every rock that fell to the ground was like a heavy artillery bombardment. He looked back and saw that the village had been covered by fallen boulders. The small house where he once lived was instantly turned into ashes by a huge rock wrapped in magma. Nothing was left.

They kept running to escape from the volcanic eruption, but the speed of the falling rocks was much faster than their running speed. How could their legs outrun the meteors falling from the sky?

He looked back and saw another extremely huge meteorite. There was more than just magma falling from the sky on its surface. The huge volume of several tens of meters in diameter made it clear that it could destroy the surrounding area of ​​hundreds of meters. Watching such a meteorite getting bigger and bigger was really despairing.

"It's over!" Jiao Ankang ran desperately, and the last thought that flashed through his mind was that he was dead. He escaped a terrible disaster, but he would eventually die in this disaster.

"Tianxin Liu! Qinglian Baose Mountain!"

In the moment before the boulder fell, a bright and young voice suddenly resounded throughout the valley, and a clear light bloomed from a point in all directions. In an instant, it bloomed and formed a huge mountain, covering the entire valley.

The meteor that fell from the sky slammed into the giant green mountain fiercely. But it only smashed itself into pieces. The green mountain stood there, motionless. The translucent rocks were not shattered at all. The villagers who were running away stopped in astonishment, looking at the transparent mountain that enveloped them at a loss.

Jiao Ankang also fell into a daze. However, he was the fastest to react as he had experienced a disaster before. The only one who could save them was a Gu Master as powerful as the one who caused the disaster. At this moment, in the air above their heads, there was a giant humanoid puppet with a gleaming metallic luster floating there.

The humanoid puppet slowly descended from mid-air. It landed in the center of the village. The seven or eight-meter-tall metal puppet was intimidating, but after it landed, it had no intention of attacking. Instead, one person after another walked down from it. They were wearing clothes that looked similar to the villagers. They were all covered in dust and seemed to have just escaped. Jiao Ankang looked at a few of them and felt that they looked familiar. He suddenly exclaimed. "Liu Shouchang! Why are you here? Don't you live in a valley dozens of miles away?"

Not only did he recognize the familiar faces, but several others also recognized the familiar faces among these people and ran over to ask. "We are closer to Sanwang Mountain, and the disaster hit us earlier than you did. We almost died in the disaster. If it weren't for Lord Xu's help, our village would have been wiped out. Lord Xu came here this time to save everyone from the disaster."

"Don't call me adults." Xu Cheng was a little helpless, but he could understand these people. He used to be like this too. When facing the founders of the Shanhe Republic who called themselves the Production and Construction Corps at that time, he also called them adults.

"If you really don't know what to call me, you can call me comrade. For the time being, do not leave the coverage of this Qinglian Baose Mountain. This killing move will last for twelve hours. During this period, most attacks will not be able to hurt you inside. I still have to rush to the next location to rescue people. Those of you who have a higher reputation in the surrounding area, come to my mecha and go to other places to appease the masses."

With the explanations from the villagers who got off the mecha, the other villagers who were originally panicked finally breathed a sigh of relief, but they were still a little hesitant to approach the powerful and terrifying mecha.

But someone finally dared to be the first to try something new. Jiao Ankang mustered up his courage and stood up. Even he himself couldn't believe that he had the guts to stand up.

"Very good, it's you! I will tell you how to explain it to the people in other villages later. Each of you will be given a mobile terminal. If you have any questions, just ask the artificial intelligence on it. They will tell you how to explain it to the locals."

It was also Xu Cheng's first time to go out on a mission, and he thought it would be very difficult to carry out the mission, especially in terms of communicating with local residents. He was not good at speaking and really didn't know how to appease the people.

But he soon found that he didn't need to worry about it. The staff in the rear had already made a plan before assigning the task. The mechas carried a large number of mobile terminals. As long as they gained the trust of the first village and let the famous people among them carry the mobile terminals, they could go to other villages to appease the emotions of the local residents.

The mobile terminal was always connected to the staff in the rear. The Shanhe Republic did not simply train soldiers, but also had many people who were good at social communication. They were trained in humanities and social sciences. They were in the rear as operators, directly connected to the mobile terminal. With these people helping to explain, the mission was executed. The difficulty was greatly reduced.

The Shanhe Republic actually does not lack such grassroots staff, but the battlefield situation is complicated. It is irresponsible to let soldiers bring social workers who lack direct combat capabilities. And even if the soldiers can bring people to the front line, the number of people they can bring is limited. Therefore, after discussion, the combat plan adopted by the staff is to remotely connect with the staff through mobile terminals and train temporary local residents on site as social workers. The fact that it has been practiced many times has also proved that this plan is very effective. Local residents are also more likely to gain the trust of local people.

After Jiao Ankang climbed onto the mech through the gangway, he soared into the air amidst a cry of surprise. Through the surveillance window, he was finally able to overlook the earth from thousands of meters above. At this distance, the village where he lived was just a small dot in the valley, and the erupting volcano in the distance also became clear at this moment. Flame meteors shuttled past the mech, causing him to cry out from time to time.

Around these meteors, he also noticed that there seemed to be devices similar to the mecha he was riding flying there. They were also shuttling at high speed, and as the altitude dropped, they landed in the valley. He could see huge green peaks rising in the valley. Or a huge translucent spherical shield emerged. Or a huge green bronze bell, covering and protecting the villages in the valley.

Only at this moment did he realize that there was more than one warrior beside him fighting to protect mortals. They were numerous, organized, disciplined, and acted quickly and decisively, yet they truly did not touch a single needle or a thread in the masses.

Today's villagers actually have no way to provide any help to the Shanhe Republic, but the elite fighters on the front line are still doing their utmost to protect these people.

Not only because the population itself is a valuable asset. After absorbing these people, as they receive education, they will inevitably grow up gradually and become a qualified citizen of the Republic.

Moreover, these powerful warriors today were once ignorant villagers who were also at a loss in the face of the horror of war. They had been rescued with all their might, so why would they abandon countless ordinary people now?

While countless masters were vying for the chance to enter Sanwang Mountain, more warriors were shuttling through the forest valleys, guarding the villages one by one. Even in a small mountain village with only a few dozen people, there would still be warriors landing there, deploying a protective barrier to create a safe zone.

In the jungle, the Sky Knights launched a ground-to-air patrol. The field swept over a range of dozens of miles, scanning out the settlements hidden in the deep mountains and old forests, and the information was gathered to the rear staff. Based on the information they gathered, the commander would send corresponding personnel to various places to build temporary fortifications.

At this moment, these mountain villages either raised translucent defense shields, or a large number of autonomous machines appeared, collecting resources from the mountains and forests, and quickly built a layer of reinforced concrete hemispherical solid shields.

This high-profile action finally gradually attracted the attention of the heroes on Sanwang Mountain.

After a long fight, Fang Yuan felt that the time was right, so he finally punched the exhausted Tie Mubai and made him spit blood and fall to the ground. According to his original plan, he should enter the ruins with dignity and become the strongest and most powerful person to be chosen by the earth spirits, but at this moment, his reconnaissance killing move detected huge shields rising from all directions. This made him frown.
