"That’s just how it is."
Still, there was soone who comnted sourly: "These exoskeleton armors are just toys; if they really encounter armored clothing, they’d all be crushed. As for this shelter do, it’s ultimately just for defense. Once the defense is breached, the people inside wouldn’t stand a chance either."
Regarding their view, Ian’s opinion was ’They’re right!’ The exoskeleton armor is indeed not as good as armored clothing, primarily because it’s cheap and easy to spread... but that’s not the real point.
The real importance lies in these exoskeleton armors, as well as other combat humanoid figures... all being capable of unmanned control, and equipped with more powerful, high-precision weapons that ordinary people can hardly use.
Even if they are not directly controlled by the Heart of Terra, rely assisted by it, soldiers wearing these exoskeleton armors can hit their targets precisely, like having an ’assistant aiming system’, no different from bullets curving.
Even if a soldier is wounded and unconscious, these exoskeleton armors can bring people back to the base for treatnt!
Smart core combined with an information system.
This is Ian’s real trump card.
But just at this mont.
Ian suddenly raised his head, gazing into the distance, his brows tightly furrowed, his gaze extrely solemn.
Seconds later, Marquis Barton also furrowed his brows slightly, taking out a crystal plate from his coat. The old marquis widened his eyes after scanning the content on it, apparently shocked by the information it contained.
"Ian."
The old man quietly called out: "Sothing’s happening..."
"I know..."
Ian whispered: "Soone is attempting to attack Xiahui City; I’ve already set up a shelter array over there. Theoretically, there shouldn’t be any surprises... but the timing they chose is very good. Clearly, there are no spies left in my city, so how did they learn about the foundation ritual scene?"
"Hmm? Xiahui City was attacked too?"
But Marquis Barton was slightly taken aback and said seriously: "No, I’m not talking about that—Ian, Nauman City was attacked!"
"It’s not just that... Isa Territory, Ponia Domain, Laale Region... More than five territories in the South Ridge have currently encountered sudden large-scale attacks!"
"Taking advantage of the gathering of South Ridge leaders at the Great Snow Peak, the Fiery Fla Land special forces launched a general offensive against the South Ridge!"
This ti Ian was slightly stunned: "The entire South Ridge?"
No.
And it’s not just the entire South Ridge.
Minutes later, Earl Im also received communications and his expression changed slightly after reading the content; even soone as deeply reserved as him felt sowhat emotionally unsettled.
"Ian." He approached and whispered: "Big things are happening."
——Fiery Fla Land launched a full-scale offensive.
It wasn’t in autumn, but much earlier.
At this completely unexpected mont, Fiery Fla Land allied with Steep Ridge Fortress, pressing in from the northwest on dual fronts, launching a full-scale attack on The Empire.
anwhile, the Azure Sky Royal Court at the Eastern Border, although still entangled with Gantreignum and Canaan Moore, has the substantial national power to dispatch a mobile fleet to invade the eastern line within days.
The Empire is about to face a pincer attack.
And as for the rear South Ridge, it suffered an extraordinary sudden assault.
A destructive blow to productivity.
"My territory?!"
"What, Fiery Fla Land? How is that possible? I clearly..."
"Damn it, did they lie to ?!"
Very quickly, other Imperial Nobility also received the news, their expressions turning sharply, with so turning even purple.
Moreover, from so people’s words, there was a vague sense that these Nobles had so connections with Fiery Fla Land in the past... but now is not the ti to delve into that.
Explosions, human bombings, plague creature surges, elite squads severing energy and water supplies, dispersing gas bombs and various chemical weapons in civilian areas...
The Fiery Fla Land operatives in the South Ridge, after lying dormant for a year, launched an unprecedented behind-enemy-lines operation.
Although Silverpeak Domain was like a fortress that couldn’t be penetrated, those other Minor Nobility and Knight Manors were really susceptible to attack, with absolutely no one able to react in ti.
In just a few minutes, the information losses the Noble lords received could make their hearts stop... and the most terrifying thing was those Nobles who hadn’t received any reports of losses.
At first, they might have felt so relief, but soon their faces turned as white as snow on the ice fields.
Because given the current trend, the Fiery Fla Land attacks couldn’t possibly miss anyone; the reason their territories had no news wasn’t because they hadn’t suffered attacks, but because... the attacks were too terrifying.
Their territories were already unable to transmit ssages outward.
"Ian, what’s happened?"
Emissaries from other countries also roughly understood the situation now; most looked displeased, with so tense, fearing being dragged in.
They couldn’t directly intervene in disputes between the two nations, and True Dragon and Fae both turned their gaze towards Ian.
Although it was said that True Dragon and Fae wouldn’t interfere in human conflicts... Ian could be both human and dragon, as well as Fae, and if he genuinely needed help, even if not directly intervening, whether King of the Mountain or Frozen Fish Tutor would be willing to assist.
But Ian did not speak.
At this mont, he absolutely couldn’t speak. As an Imperial Noble and future leader of the South Ridge, he could not rashly request intervention from non-human forces in the war between The Empire and Fiery Fla Land.
In this regard, he must appear a pure Imperial Person to gain trust from all sides of The Empire.
Not to ntion, only by handling the attack with the identity of a pure Imperial Nobility would Silverpeak Domain and Supre Spirit Sect not be underestimated.
"I’ll handle this personally."
Thus, the Prophet took a deep breath and soared into the sky.
Atop the Great Snow Peak, the entire Spirit Energy Field trembled due to Ian’s actions—driven by the full force of ’Fairy Ian’ situated in the center of Ian’s body, ice-blue Water Elent Origin surged forth, transforming into a pair of wings.
The snow clouds were spun, gathered, and finally transford into two vortices that roared like turbine engines.
Roar—large, alien wings stirred; Ian revealed the full power of a Third Energy Level Fairy, the force of heaven and earth converging upon him, as he piloted this fierce natural ice tide, swiftly heading towards Xiahui City.
And behind him, as True Dragons and Fairies exchanged glances.
Ian’s companions also swiftly followed, flying after Ian.
Soon.
With supersonic speed, Ian would soon see Xiahui City and the ’crisis’ it was currently facing.
It was a skyship.
A skyship in descent, plumting towards the central part of the city!
This was the crisis Ian foresaw months ago—even knowing beforehand, its nature was elusive, and once discovered, it was already unstoppable!
A skyship filled with fuel, plunging from thousands of ters above, with countless hostages onboard!
An asteroid bomb, capable of destroying half the city!
