Blue Card Starry Sky

Chapter 77 A shocking secret

Upon hearing such big news, Lan Tian and his team immediately convened a meeting to discuss countermeasures as soon as they returned to their base.

Before the allied forces could advance to the second line of defense, this shocking secret arrived, leaving everyone utterly terrified, as if doused with ice water. Their city was practically a ghost town, its defenses weak and completely unable to withstand the demons' attack.

I don't know how things are now, what kind of treatment my family and relatives will receive, their fate unknown. The generals present all gritted their teeth, hating the demons to the bone. If their family and relatives were to meet with misfortune, we would make sure that not a blade of grass grows in the demon capital, and completely eradicate the demons.

This news was too sensitive for the command to pass down. If the soldiers found out, who knows what might happen and the situation would be difficult to control.

Finally, the Supreme Command decided to launch a swift attack, take over Shanghai as quickly as possible, seize control of the time-space portal, and act at all costs.

The decision was made, and early the next morning, Lan Tian and Hai Liang led the flight squadron to attack the second line of defense, clearing obstacles and eliminating the resisting demon guards.

Lan Tian, ​​clad in golden armor, rode a fire phoenix, clearing a path for them. The fire phoenix unleashed fire attacks, while Lan Tian combined lightning balls and ice arrows, leaving nothing but desolation in its wake. Hai Liang also swept through the area, wiping out the demon guards with no chance against the full force of the high-level powerhouse's attack. She left them no chance of survival, annihilating them all without exception.

Seeing their commander so ruthless, the entire flight squadron was extremely excited, their morale soared, and their killing frenzy reached the city of Demon Capital in a single morning, wiping out the demons outside the city.

The main force, lightly equipped, quickly arrived outside Shanghai and set up camp to reorganize the troops, preparing for a general offensive against Shanghai. Time was of the essence, and the command decided to attack the city swiftly, preventing the main force from Shanghai from returning to defend it, and to take Shanghai at all costs.

"Uncle Lei, have you found Yingying and the others?"

After resting tonight, we'll launch the final assault first thing tomorrow morning. Lan Tian came over specifically to ask Qin Lei about Yingying and the others, as they are people Lan Tian always keeps in mind.

"I haven't been able to find out their exact location, but our sources in the city report that they are all still alive and out of danger, but we can't pinpoint their exact location."

"It's good that they're still alive. I'll bring them back."

Even if Lantian turns Shanghai upside down, she will still find them.

"Young Master Lan, you seem to have something on your mind."

Lan Tian returned to the flight squadron, and Hai Liang noticed that he seemed restless and was very worried. She felt something was wrong with him after seeing him kill like that earlier that day. Hai Liang realized that Lan Tian was definitely hiding something from her and had something on his mind.

"It's nothing, I'm just a little tired. I'll rest for a bit, and I'll take over your patrol later."

"You rest, I'm not tired. We will protect everyone. Don't get up and take my place."

"Okay, thank you for your trouble, Princess."

Lan Tian showed Hai Liang a sense of awe; this woman was no ordinary person, no less capable than himself. Hai Liang's concern for Lan Tian, ​​however, revealed that she already had someone she loved—a sentiment common to many young women, one that Lan Tian was completely oblivious to.

Back in his tent, Lan Tian couldn't fall asleep for a long time. He thought of all the moments he shared with Yingying, from the first time he met her to the last time they said goodbye. The memories were vivid in his mind, and he was filled with worry. He wondered what the final assault would be like tomorrow, whether it would hurt the two of them, and whether he would be able to find them...

Exhausted from today's battle, Lan Tian fell asleep without realizing it. In his dream, he saw Yingying being taken away and getting further and further away. He couldn't save her and chased after her desperately, but he couldn't bring her back.

"Boom boom boom"

The sound of artillery fire during the general offensive woke Lan Tian from his sleep. It was already morning, and the main force had launched a general offensive against Shanghai.

"Pretty Princess, why didn't you wake me up?" Lan Tian came to Hai Liang's side, sounding a little reproachful. Hai Liang had come over several times, but seeing how soundly Lan Tian was sleeping, she didn't want to disturb him. She wanted him to rest well and couldn't bear to wake him, since she was here to take care of things.

"I saw you were sleeping so soundly, so I didn't wake you. I'm sorry."

"It's okay, I'm not blaming you, I'm just really tired and overslept."

Thousands of cannons fired simultaneously, all flying towards the city walls of Shanghai. Every shot hit the walls, instantly creating a massive explosion and billowing smoke, completely enveloping everything in the ash, making it impossible to see anything clearly.

The deafening explosions lingered for a long time. Next, a barrage of rockets was launched, tens of thousands of fiery arrows hurtling towards the city, soaring over the city walls and into its heart. Instantly, flames erupted, engulfing the city in a raging inferno, accompanied by sandstorms and raging fire.

After a series of long-range attacks, the outer walls of the city of Shanghai were almost completely flattened. There was no intact section; the walls were collapsed and the houses were ruined. The troops guarding the city had long since become cannon fodder, vanishing with the wind without leaving a trace.

"Flight squadron, go and scout ahead."

"Yes."

Lan Tian and Hai Liang rode their fire phoenixes and quickly took to the air, leading a small team towards the center of Shanghai to see how the city was doing after the attack!

Flying over the city walls, below lay a scene of ruins. The buildings near the city walls had also been razed to the ground. Shanghai was now like a city gate opened, welcoming the allied forces into the city without any defenses.

Without hesitation, the army swiftly stormed into the city, advancing directly towards the main city. Their aim was to destroy the Demon Capital and annihilate the demons. The allied forces, their morale soaring, marched triumphantly forward. Ahead lay the Demon Capital's main city, its walls high and sturdy, its defenses formidable. Mo Qiming stood fearlessly atop the city gate, facing the overwhelming allied army. Now, the true battle had begun.

The grudges and feuds between the Demon Clan and the four other races were finally resolved in this battle.

The allied forces stationed their troops here, establishing a supreme command post and deploying the highest level of fortifications to prevent the demons from launching a sneak attack. Conquering this place would mean the collapse of the demon capital.

"I'm going to meet this Demon Clan's Great Protector."

Yu Long couldn't wait any longer and was the first to fly out of the camp to challenge Mo Qiming, the demon protector. Yu Long's granddaughter, Yu Jia Hui, was in the hands of the demons, and he had been holding back for more than a year, determined to vent his frustration.

"Qiming, you old thief, release my granddaughter right now!"

"Oh! Brother Yulong, let's talk this out. Don't be so impulsive! Bringing so many people is unbecoming."

"Pah! Shame on you! Are you going to pay for this? You're all a bunch of despicable, vile, and shameless people."

"Haha, say whatever you want."

"Take this!"

Yu Long didn't want to waste time arguing with him, so he immediately launched a flying attack. Mo Qiming didn't back down either, leaping down from the city wall to meet Yu Long's challenge.

Two high-level experts clashed fiercely in front of the city gate. In an instant, swords flashed and shadows danced as they locked in a fierce battle. Neither side was superior, and they fought back and forth, evenly matched. The battle was intense, with neither able to stop the other, nor able to defeat the other, as they fought from the ground into the air.
