164: Chapter 164: It's just a coordinated sneak attack, right? Easy peasy!

Sitting across the table, Xu Xuan's ears twitched.

He could hear the elves whispering opposite him, and he heard exactly what they were saying.

Xu Xuan gave a dry cough. "There's no need to be so secretive about that. What's there to hide about the Zerg Swarm and the Giant Race joining forces?"

The Elf Queen sitting opposite him was stunned; she fell silent for a moment.

"It is indeed as Your Excellency Xu Xuan says; there is no need for concealment. Tell Your Excellency Xu Xuan the information you have gathered."

At this, the female elf lowered her head and reported, "The Elf Race has received intelligence that the Giant Race and the Zerg Swarm have joined forces, preparing to invade human territory. Their target is the Floating City."

Xu Xuan, who was drinking tea, maintained a calm and composed demeanor.

He didn't seem surprised at all that the Giant Race and the Zerg Swarm were planning to invade his territory.

The Elf Queen had originally intended to use this intelligence to do Xu Xuan a favor.

In Lilith's view, revealing this news to Xu Xuan now should have earned her some goodwill, right?

At the very least, Xu Xuan's attitude toward her should have improved slightly.

Who would have thought...

Xu Xuan sipped his Spring Green Tea, looking as steady as Mount Tai, not panicking in the slightest.

This?

Lilith asked tentatively, "The Giant Race and the Zerg Swarm are joining forces to invade your territory. Are you not worried?"

Xu Xuan set down his teacup, his expression radiating calm indifference.

"It's not exactly news; I've known about it for a long time."

Seeing Xu Xuan so calm, Lilith's youthful temper flared up.

She looked a bit indignant. "Is Your Excellency just feigning composure? The Giant Race is a very powerful race. When they join forces with the Zerg Swarm, are you truly not worried at all?"

Just as Lilith finished speaking, Xu Xuan snapped his fingers.

A virtual screen manifested over the dining table, displaying Xu Xuan's Floating City and the territory beneath it.

Zooming in on the image, ten kilometers beyond the eastern wall of the land territory...

A horde of giants was leading the Zerg Swarm, marching grandly toward the Floating Island.

The giants varied in height; some were Short Giants, standing over ten meters tall.

There were also Colossal Giants whose heights reached over a hundred or even two hundred meters.

As the Colossal Giants strode forward, the ground trembled with every step they took.

Thump... Thump... Thump...

With the Giant Race in the lead and the Zerg Swarm following behind, the two forces began their invasion of Xu Xuan's territory.

Seeing this, Lilith looked at Xu Xuan curiously.

She didn't believe it; had Xu Xuan really known all along?

Facing a joint invasion by the Giant Race and the Zerg Swarm, Xu Xuan could actually sit here so calmly drinking tea.

Was he not worried about his territory? Although the Floating Island could fly away, his vassals, the fertile fields, and the land itself could not.

In the display...

The vassal lords on the city walls were all growing nervous.

This section of the wall, including the thousands of acres behind it, was the responsibility of the Japanese girl, Yamamoto Chizuru.

The land held by the vassals had been granted to them by Xu Xuan.

In name, all these lands on the ground belonged to Xu Xuan.

These vassals were essentially working for Xu Xuan, guarding these terrestrial territories.

The wall where Yamamoto Chizuru stood was ten meters high, modeled after the Great Wall of China.

Looking out from the wall, she could clearly see the giants ten kilometers away.

Chizuru couldn't help but complain, "It's literally 'Attack on Titan.' I used to watch this in anime, and now we're experiencing the live-action version?"

"But the walls in the anime were fifty meters high. Our ten-meter wall is basically a budget version."

Chizuru's palms began to sweat. Even as a daughter of the Yakuza, a mob boss's daughter...

Facing the legendary monsters of the Giant Race, she felt the pressure.

She watched as the giants drew closer.

10 kilometers.

7 kilometers.

3 kilometers!

1 kilometer!

The Giant Race was less than a kilometer from the wall!

The Short Giants led the charge while the massive giants advanced slowly, with an infinite Zerg Swarm behind them.

Facing these enemies, Yamamoto Chizuru could only turn her gaze toward the Floating City behind her.

"We can only trust in the Sect Master and his firepower."

Standing on the wall, Yamamoto Chizuru could feel the earth trembling as the giants charged!

As they charged, the sound of their footsteps grew louder, like an earthquake or thunder, enough to pierce the eardrums.

A giant could easily step over a ten-meter wall, or even crush it flat with a single foot.

However...

Five thousand arrows suddenly shot out from the Floating Island simultaneously, each arrowhead shimmering with the light of spiritual energy.

The massive arrows, imbued with Battle Qi, turned the hundreds of charging Short Giants into pincushions.

Those ten-meter-tall, naked, charging Short Giants were all pierced through by the Battle Qi bolts, tumbling over one another in their charge.

With Xu Xuan's ten-year acceleration, the island's armaments had evolved accordingly.

The soldiers were now skilled at enchanting arrowheads with Battle Qi to increase their lethality!

But the Short Giants at the start were merely cannon fodder for the Giant Race.

The true main force consisted of the few hundred-meter-tall Colossal Giants.

Boom!

Boom!

The Colossal Giants walked toward the wall with slow, heavy steps.

With every footprint they left, they crushed the relay stations and watchtowers outside the wall.

With one stomp, a giant could send a person straight into the 'second dimension'.

Just as the main force of giants attacked...

Three figures flashed in the sky.

Yang Jian, Nezha, and Lei Zhenzi.

The three divine generals flew toward the giants. Yang Jian delivered a strike, and a line of blood appeared on a giant's neck.

Immediately after, the giant's head was separated from its body, and the massive skull crashed from mid-air onto the ground.

Nezha, holding his fire-tipped spear and stepping on his Wind and Fire Wheels, laughed wildly. "Your young master is here!"

Nezha dove directly into a giant's mouth and was swallowed whole.

The next moment, a raging fire ignited inside the giant's belly; the flames were visible even through its skin.

Accompanied by a miserable scream from the giant, its entire body began to burn.

Yet, even amidst the roaring flames, this giant charged toward the wall.

It wanted to push the wall down and ignite the camphor spirit wood planted behind it.

Seeing this, Xu Xuan understood their plan.

The giants were responsible for tearing down the walls and destroying the camphor spirit wood.

That way, the Zerg Swarm could pour in and run rampant through Xu Xuan's territory.

As long as that outer ring of trees was destroyed, the Zerg Swarm could practically walk all over the place.

Just as the giant was about to collapse, Lei Zhenzi flapped his wings, conjuring a strange wind that caught the falling giant and pushed it away.

On the wall, Yamamoto Chizuru almost thought she was going to be crushed to death.

Watching that overwhelmingly oppressive giant fall right in front of them, Yamamoto Chizuru let out a long breath.

"If an elite unit of the Giant Race really fell on us, I'm afraid I really would be flattened into the second dimension."

"Manga protagonists get hit by a truck to be sent to another world. I was about to be hit by a giant to be sent to the Titan world, huh?"

While the Japanese high school girl was complaining...

Xu Xuan watched everything calmly through the screen.

He had received word of the Giant and Zerg Swarm attack long ago.

Su Daji's spies had already infiltrated the Zerg Swarm.

This joint sneak attack by the Giant Race and the Zerg Swarm was no surprise to Xu Xuan.

On the contrary, the Elf Queen opposite him stared blankly at the scene.

Xu Xuan's Floating Island and the explosive combat power of his divine generals gave Lilith an immense shock.
