Chapter 4465 Defending against the heavenly gates (1)
Chapter 4465: Defending against the heavenly gates (1) Chapter 4465: Defending against the heavenly gates (1) Seven hundred miles to the West of loucheng, there was a mountain range that stretched across the land. The mountain peak was thousands of feet high, and there was often strong wind blowing on the top of the mountain.
The mountain range was extremely dangerous, and it was also difficult for birds to fly over it. It was also one of the forbidden areas.
There was only a gap somewhere in the mountain range that allowed pedestrians to pass through.
The gap was called Heaven’s Gate, and it had always been a place that militarists had to fight for. It was heavily guarded all year round, mainly to prevent any invasion.
Since the war broke out, Heaven’s Gate had been heavily guarded to prevent enemies from breaking in.
As loucheng took control of Daqi, Heaven’s Gate also sent troops to take over the management. There were often armed airships going back and forth.
The airships were responsible for patrolling and managing the city to show the dignity of the city. At the same time, they were also responsible for transporting materials and earning a large amount of gold and silver through trade.
Ever since Tang Zhen issued the order that they could use gold and silver to exchange for points, the enthusiasm of the residents to earn money had become extremely high.
It was the best of both worlds to be able to obtain benefits for himself and also solve Lou Cheng’s needs.
As an important military location, Heaven’s Gate was also the main trade area. Travelers and merchants had a huge consumption capacity.
When the bandits along the way were cleared and the road was smooth, the merchants ‘enthusiasm would also increase.
They were willing to buy wondrous items and bring them to other places to make money. The profits they obtained far exceeded that of ordinary trade.
Heaven’s Gate was guarded by 10000 soldiers and 50 residents of loucheng. It was an independent establishment that was not under any jurisdiction.
They were ordered to guard this place, operate the defensive weapons, and return to the city Tower every week.
On the mottled city wall, there were many defensive machine guns. They were large-caliber dual-use guns.
If they used this weapon to defend the city, even the heavy cavalry would be killed, let alone the enemy’s infantry.
The weapon was purchased by Tang Zhen from the cornerstone platform. It was marked as a defensive weapon in the inventory. The price was very cheap, no different from the price of scrap iron.
Such welfare goods often appeared randomly, like the leaves in a Muddy River, and would disappear without a trace if one was not careful.
Every time he encountered this kind of product, Tang Zhen would not hesitate to buy it. He regarded this behavior as being diligent and thrifty.
After the weapons were bought, they would definitely not be left in the warehouse to eat dust. Instead, they would be distributed to the residents of Lou city.
Then, they would be sent out to various strategic locations to be stationed. Not only would they be able to display the strength of the city, but they would also be able to allow the residents to grow faster.
Not every resident had the qualifications to be sent. At the very least, they had to have the strength of a first-class expert.
Some of the residents had already successfully advanced to the innate realm. As long as they obtained a cultivation technique, they could step into the transcendent realm at any time.
According to the rules set by Tang Zhen, the residents of Lou city could obtain a cultivation method for free and could choose according to their own conditions.
Every cultivation technique was top-notch and was carefully selected by Tang Zhen to ensure that the residents of Lou city would reach the peak at the beginning.
Such domineering strength was not something that other cultivation organizations could compare to.
The powerful residents of loucheng were responsible for operating the heavy machine guns, so there was basically no problem.
The soldiers of Da Qi who were stationed at the checkpoint were very envious of the residents of Lou city. When they heard that there were no restrictions on the recruitment of residents, they all had the idea of signing up.
A few batches of soldiers had already applied to leave the military and took the armed airships to loucheng.
Such soldiers were not allowed to be intercepted, or they would be severely punished.
The general in charge of guarding Heaven’s Gate had long been subdued by Lou Cheng. Not only did he not dare to disobey the order, but he even had the same idea.
If it were not for their special status and the fact that they could not find suitable people to replace them, these generals would probably be the first to go to loucheng.
This kind of silent replacement happened in every military base. Loucheng used a gentle way to obtain the real control of the Qi Kingdom.
Although some people noticed it, they could only remain silent. After all, the general situation could not be changed, and resistance would only lead to destruction.
The former royal family of Da Qi and the Yunxiao sect behind them had chosen to submit. What right did they have to disobey?
At this moment, the sun was warm, and the soldiers were chatting on the wall. Suddenly, a sharp voice resounded through the sky.
“Enemy attack alert!”
This was the defensive alarm device that Lou Cheng had set up after he took over. It was specifically used to target suspicious targets on the ground and in the air.
The alarm was an intelligent device that could be remotely connected to Lou Cheng and controlled by Lou Ling.
When the alarm went off, the residents of loucheng quickly arrived and entered their fighter jets ‘shooting positions.
The communication systems they brought with them were all activated automatically, displaying information related to the alarm.
It turned out that fifty miles away, a large group of figures had appeared in the air and on the ground. The total number exceeded six to seven hundred people.
The number of people had exceeded the alert standard, and the high-energy response showed that the other party was very strong.
It was likely a warrior, but it was more likely a cultivator.
No matter where the other party came from, the speed at which they were heading to the checkpoint could very well be fatal.
Regardless of whether the other party was an enemy or a friend, they had to maintain a high level of vigilance in order to avoid being caught off guard when something unexpected happened.
Although the situation was unclear and the intruder might be extremely dangerous, the residents of Lou city did not retreat at all.
They knew very well that Lou Cheng was behind them, so they couldn’t back down at this time.
Perhaps at this moment, Lou Cheng’s reinforcements were already on their way.
They were not fighting alone. Not only did they have the cooperation of the Qi soldiers, but the building spirit had also taken over the command of the battlefield.
In the hearts of the residents of loucheng, the building spirit was an omnipresent friend and the most loyal and reliable Butler.
Whether it was in life, in school, or in battle, the building spirit was the most loyal and powerful partner.
With the building spirit in charge of the command, the residents were very confident.
Not long after, a dark cloud flew over in the sky, and there seemed to be a human figure flashing in the cloud.
On the ground, the sound of hooves rumbled. All kinds of fierce beasts galloped on the ground, carrying all kinds of cultivators.
They were dressed in all kinds of strange clothes, and if they were in a crowd, they would be recognized at a glance.
He was aloof and proud, and he had an extraordinary life.
Such a group of cultivators were usually high and mighty, and they regarded mortals as ants.
But at this moment, their faces were dark and they looked flustered and exasperated.
His expression was one of panic and uneasiness, like a stray dog.
Seeing the checkpoint in front of them and the tightly shut city gate, a cultivator on the clouds immediately shouted.
Heaven’s Gate guards, listen up! Open the city gate immediately! If you hesitate, I’ll make sure you don’t even have a corpse!
His voice resounded through the city walls, carrying an unquestionable attitude and a shocking effect.
Mortals had no ability to resist this demonic sound that filled their minds. They would obey obediently out of fear and respect.
However, the guards at the checkpoint were residents of the city. They were not ordinary soldiers who could resist the intimidation of cultivators.
“This is a restricted military zone. Everyone must listen to the command and stay in the open space for inspection.
If you dare to disobey, we have the right to kill you directly!”
The voices of the residents of the tower City came from the top of the city wall, causing the arrogant cultivators to be slightly stunned.
Obviously, they did not expect the guards at heaven’s gate to be so tough that they dared to go against the orders of the cultivators.
The large group of cultivators in front of him were cultivators from various major sects. They usually enjoyed special privileges and did not even respect the emperors of the human world.
Now that he had been intercepted by a group of soldiers, it was simply a great humiliation. If word got out, he would probably be laughed at.
In addition, the current situation was special. They had just retreated from the front line in a hurry, and their hearts were already filled with shame and anger.
This was the most sensitive time. Even the most insignificant things could be regarded as humiliation and made them extremely angry.
As a noble Dragon, when faced with the provocation of an ant, it had to give the most severe counterattack.
“No need to talk nonsense, don’t leave a chicken or dog alive!”
A cultivator on the cloud gave the order in an extremely cold voice. He wanted to wash Heaven’s Gate with blood and release the pent-up anger in his heart.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, a flash of fire suddenly appeared on the top of the city wall, and an overwhelming number of bullets flew over.
Caught off guard, the cultivators were hit by these terrifying bullets and were torn into pieces in an instant.
