503: Gathering Soul Power

Daoist Master Tianyi frowned and asked: 'Can our Daming cut off the online live broadcast signal?'

'It's too late! It's hard to explain to the public if we cut it off now. Besides, many people's signals are transmitted through foreign gateways. Even if we cut off the domestic signal, the public will still be able to watch it from foreign live streaming websites!' Xu Yanran shook her head and said.

'We cannot cut off the network unless it is absolutely necessary, otherwise many of our affairs will be affected, such as information transmission, etc.,' Master Qing Yuan also said.

'Then what should we do now? It is obvious that the Sea Race and the Fusang People have dug a pit and are waiting for us to jump into it...' Daoist Master Tianyi sighed.

'How about I go find that Fusang Country leader, Yokota Ichiro, and fight to the death? Can you see if you can take the opportunity to save those civilians?' Tang Zhenye suggested.

'Haven't you seen that the number of Sea Race experts has increased significantly? Our high-end combat power is undoubtedly at a complete disadvantage!' Master Qing Yuan said.

'What if we use the giant god cannon?' Tang Zhenye asked, unwilling to give up.

'The last time we used the giant god cannon, we caught them off guard, which is why it was so effective. But now that the giant god cannon has been exposed, the Sea Race is prepared, and its lethality will inevitably be greatly reduced. Moreover, they have brought out those civilians as human shields. Under the condition of a live broadcast, it is impossible for us to bombard them with the giant god cannon unless they reach our doorstep. But even then, the giant god cannon can at most hit a few enemies. They have a large number of people; once they attack the city walls, it will be very difficult to recover...' Master Qing Yuan analyzed.

'Are we just going to sit here and wait for their experts to attack?' Tang Zhenye hissed.

'Wait!' Xu Yanran suddenly spoke up.

Everyone was startled and looked at her. They saw her eyes scanning the mobile phone screen rapidly, her expression changing several times. After a while, she finally let out a soft breath, looked up, and said: 'According to the information provided by Longyuan, the top experts of the Sea Race are five times our number!'

'What?! Five times our number?!' Everyone was stunned!

'That's right! They have replenished more than a dozen medium-sized forces, and each force has several top experts. Saying five times is actually a bit conservative!' Xu Yanran sighed regretfully.

'My God...' Everyone was dumbfounded by this sudden news. How could they fight this? Even if the giant god cannon could fire continuously, it couldn't withstand the enemy's numerical advantage. Furthermore, the giant god cannon had already been exposed. And there was another problem: the shells for the giant god cannon were specially crafted, and their quantity was extremely limited. Tiangong Group could only provide one hundred shells for each giant god cannon, meaning there were only three hundred shells in total at Shanhai Pass. Once used up, there would be no more.

Another problem was that it took about ten seconds for the giant god cannon to fire the next shell after firing one. Ten seconds was enough for a top expert to push forward a considerable distance. Last time, the Sea Race had no experience, but this time they might use this time interval to weaken the effect of the giant god cannon.

'Furthermore, the Sea Race's plan is to use this batch of human shields to attract our attention, while their underground team will detour into our city to destroy the giant god cannon first!' Xu Yanran said, revealing a shocking fact.

'Is that so?!' Everyone was shocked, their faces changing drastically.

Master Qing Yuan couldn't help but exclaim: 'So that's it! I felt that the Sea Race suddenly doing this wasn't just to challenge Daming's moral bottom line. Now it seems their trick lies here!'

'Then what should we do? Their plan must have already started!' Tang Zhenye stood up abruptly and said loudly.

'That's right! Now we must deploy killing forces in the barbican. As soon as they appear, we must bombard them!' Xu Yanran nodded and said.

'What about the enemies and civilians outside?' Master Qing Yuan asked.

'Outside... let's leave that to the convoy sent by Longyuan!' Xu Yanran said calmly.

'What? Longyuan's convoy?' Everyone was stunned, because they hadn't seen any convoy, and there was a large number of Sea Race experts and those Daming civilians gathered outside. Could just one convoy really withstand them?

Xu Yanran sighed regretfully: 'At this point, we have no other good options. We can only follow Longyuan's plan. With our current combat power, we should have the advantage in dealing with the underground team that has infiltrated. As for the powerful enemies outside, you should all know about the battle situation at Linhai City, right?'

'Linhai City? Are you referring to the incident where the Sea Race experts were collectively injured?' Master Qing Yuan asked suspiciously.

'That's right! The collective injury of the Sea Race experts was caused by this convoy! I believe in their ability!!!' Xu Yanran said decisively.

'Wow...' Everyone let out a soft cry, their eyes shining with bright light, and their confidence suddenly rose!

If Longyuan's convoy could really help them block or eliminate the Sea Race experts outside, then the scales of victory would clearly tip in favor of Daming!

'We will immediately split into three groups to guard the barbicans in three directions. Once they show their heads, we will kill them all!' Xu Yanran ordered.

'Yes! Commander!' Everyone replied in unison.

Soon, Master Zhishen, Daoist Master Tianyi, and Tang Zhenye each led a garrison to the three barbicans. Only Xu Yanran, Master Qing Yuan, and Liu Xihe, Sect Leader of Kunlun Sect remained in the battle preparation hall. They belonged to the command and mobile combat force, having to watch every battlefield and deal with emergencies at any time.

At this time, on the outskirts of the East City of Shanhai Pass, two convoys were slowly approaching the battlefield...

Qian Xiaosen, his deputy Tao Yaoyao, and Tan Xinmin were directing the convoy's movements, watching the information light screens flickering in the vehicles while communicating rapidly...

'Chief, the convoy is in position!' Tao Yaoyao reported.

'The enemy experts have all been identified and locked on!' Tan Xinmin reported.

Qian Xiaosen looked at the information light screen and said: 'Second Detachment, all members listen up, gather Soul Power! Target, first use the Soul Net to cover those Daming civilians, then perform a displacement!'

'Yes!' The response of all members of the Second Detachment came from the vehicles.

On the other side, inside the 12 qilin war chariots of the Second Detachment, all members gathered in the middle of their respective chariots, where there was a circular crystal. The material of the crystal was somewhat special, neither gold nor wood, and seemed to have some biological characteristics. Everyone reached out a hand, pressed their palm into a recess on the crystal, and injected Soul Power into it!

That's right, every soldier in Future City was a Soul Warrior, and their level was basically at the Entry-Level to Elementary stage. Because they had just successfully transformed and had not been cultivating for long, everyone's Soul Power was extremely limited. According to their ability, it was impossible to use a Cultivation World Soul Technique like the Soul Net. However, through this circular crystal, they could gather everyone's Soul Power together and amplify it by three to five times, thereby greatly increasing their overall Soul Power, making it no problem to use the Soul Net!
