Dressed in a black robe, Rita was still the same Rita, valiant and heroic. She was no different from the commander of Ice Scar City back in the day.
However, as the commander of Ice Scar City's garrison, she was only level 7. Now, she had reached level 9 and was officially promoted to the commander-in-chief of the Night Watchers. She took over the baton from the Night King and continued to shine in the Polar night.
"Yo, little Li Xiang, long time no see." She crossed her arms and bowed slightly with a smile on her face, revealing a silky and seductive curve on her back. "What brings you here today? How's the situation on the other continents?"
The last time they met was a few years ago. Ming Xu was besieged by the Double Moon Lord and the Sky Devouring Wing King. Li Xiang rushed to the Great Wall of Disaster in anger and destroyed it in front of Rita, releasing all the disasters into the seven continents. This was the most important milestone of the new era.
The collapse of the Great Wall of Disaster accelerated the development of the seven continents. Many forces could not adapt to such a fast pace and were annihilated in the dust of history. To this day, there were still different opinions about Li Xiang's impulsive actions. Some agreed, some disagreed.
But that was not important.
He did not need others to judge him, and no one had the right to judge him.
However, that incident had caused a great deal of trouble and impact on Rita, who had been stationed in Ice Scar City and sacrificed her life for it. Many of her comrades had died because of it. She almost cut off all contact with Li Xiang.
She had never been in love before. When she was young, she had one or two admirers, but they were all gone in the end. Therefore, she could not understand Li Xiang's actions at all. Fortunately, time had smoothed everything out.
The Night King created the Night Watchers, built the Great Wall of Disaster, and guarded the border all year round for the sake of mankind, to continue the players' idea of lighthouses, to inherit the will of the Polar night magicians, but in the end, he still could not solve the fundamental problem.
The seven continents were in peace, and the wars on the Great Wall of Disaster were endless. Sooner or later, the two extremes of life would collapse. The sea of stars was still there, and the Great Wall was no more. This was the inevitable result.
Li Xiang had broken and rebuilt, ending the war between humanity and the calamities that had lasted for several hundred years. Now that he was facing the final calamity, he was still unstoppable, and the others also trusted him.
This was the light that Rita wanted to see. Being able to see the end of the war between the Scourge and the humans while she was still alive was already a blessing. If she could persevere until the catastrophe was over, she would die without regrets.
After thinking it through, Rita calmed down and focused on her training. She made great progress all the way from Level 7 to Level 9. She was also willing to take over the position of commander-in-chief and be stationed at the Great Wall of Polar night.
Li Xiang smiled faintly. The past was like smoke. He was right and wrong. No matter what, it was thanks to Rita and the other night watchers that he was not so lonely during his time in Ice Scar City.
The life there had also influenced him, which was why he had decided to defend the Great Wall of Calamity to the death.
The Great Wall of Disaster had been destroyed by his hands, but it had also been rebuilt by his own hands. He had also inherited and continued the will of countless seniors.
This was enough for him.
"The situation is not optimistic. What about the Great Wall of Polar night? Are there any new movements from the Kingdom of Calamity?" Li Xiang sighed. Along the way, even he, who was used to seeing life and death, could not stand it anymore.
Every wave of attack would cause many humans to die forever. Tens of millions of people had died a few days before the war began, and the number was still increasing. Even if the population of the seven continents had increased to an astronomical number in the past few hundred years, they could not withstand this rate of consumption.
"What else can they do? The Kingdom of Calamity has not made any moves for the time being, but the mutants and calamities affected by its radiation have become extremely terrifying. Looking at those guys, I suddenly feel lucky. Fortunately, we did not encounter such enemies during the Great Wall of Calamity. Otherwise, we could only wait for death."
Rita spread out her hands. The battle here constantly refreshed her understanding of enemies and battles.
In the past, the seven continents had closed themselves off, and there were all kinds of internal strife and intrigue. Later, when the calamities invaded and almost became a natural disaster, they realized that their strength was not enough.
For the night watchers who had been fighting the calamities for many years, this level of strength was nothing and was completely acceptable.
Even so, the experienced night watchers who had been left behind could not stand these newly mutated enemies.
Their magic immunity was strong, their combat power was even higher, and they were not afraid of death. They did not even have a leader to control them. They just attacked endlessly.
Regardless of whether it was day or night, there was a bloody battle on the Great Wall. The people were rotated in batches. If they were not careful, the mutants would attack the top of the Great Wall, and it would be very troublesome. They would have to send out level 8 and level 9 players to clean them up, but this level of combat power was far from enough.
And this was with the support of mechanical creatures and Elemental Heavy Cannons.
"The only fortunate thing is that these warriors have been baptized by blood and fire. They are extremely resilient and will not fail easily. The Great Wall of Polar night can still hold on for a long time if it is only an attack of this scale," Rita looked at him and reported truthfully.
"If the Kingdom of Calamity sends out their real combat power, I will arrange for anthropomorphic calamities to enter the war." The phantom with a thousand teeth, who had been silent for a while, suddenly spoke.
She was still wearing a white shirt and a white dress. Many years had passed, but her appearance had not changed at all. She was still the image of a pure and pleasant girl with a cold appearance.
The phantom with a thousand teeth and the Hydra were the representatives of anthropomorphic calamities. They were also the first batch of calamities that Bai Lili had personally anthropomorphized.
Anthropomorphization meant that they had chosen to abandon their bodies as calamities and become closer to humans. They had lost some calamity characteristics and gained a certain level of intelligence and thinking ability. It was an evolutionary direction that was completely different from the dominators.
The anthropomorphization plan had always been in the hands of Bai Lili and Lancelot. However, it was too difficult to find a calamity that was strong enough and willing to anthropomorphize. After finding it, it had to undergo transformation. After many tests, there were very few who succeeded.
Bai Lili later chose to use evil as a parasite on various creatures and gave up on the inefficient anthropomorphization that took a long time. On the other hand, Lancelot persisted. The huge poker club was filled with anthropomorphic calamities.
However, the overall number was still insignificant compared to the total number of calamities.
Only a few dominators gave up their original identity and joined the anthropomorphic calamities. The classic example was the Spider Queen.
This combat power had always been in the hands of Lancelot and Bai Lili. Recently, it had been handed over to the most successful anthropomorphic phantom. She had chosen to come and help the Great Wall of Polar night.
After the Calamity Kingdom descended, all the calamities that did not succeed in anthropomorphizing were killed. In order to prevent them from mutating, many escaped to the sea of stars and were successfully mutated by the radiation.
The anthropomorphic calamities were in an awkward situation. If it were not for the environment, they would not have been able to gain the trust of humans. In the past, Bai King was the core figure who resisted hunting them down. Now that he had let go of his obsession, the overall situation did not improve.
After all, not long ago, they were enemies of two camps. They were killing each other to the death. There was no possibility of cooperation.
Now, they were suddenly asked to become comrades and entrust their backs to each other. No one could accept that.
Therefore, after taking over such a large wave of combat power, the phantom with a thousand teeth never took the initiative to contact or cooperate with humans. When it came to the Great Wall of Polar night, they also gathered somewhere and did not go near the human base to prevent conflicts from happening.
For the time being, there was no good way to completely resolve this conflict. However, this combat power was very important. In Li Xiang's plan, only in a more critical moment, would he choose to let humans and calamities fight side by side.
After all, this was too risky. If there was a major internal change, the entire army would be doomed eternally.
Now that the phantom with a thousand teeth suddenly said this, Rita did not object. It could be seen that the situation at the Great Wall of Polar night was not as easy as Rita made it out to be.
She just did not want Li Xiang to be too distracted here.
If the border was destroyed, then so be it. At worst, they would all die. As long as the seven continents of humans were still there, there would always be a spark that could continue. However, if the seven continents fell, what was the point of guarding the border?
Rita was prepared for this. However, no matter how much she thought about it, she did not expect that she would be fighting side by side with her former nemesis.
"The humans are still very worried about the anthropomorphic calamities. If the phantom with a thousand teeth takes action, the Rose Maids will do their best to help. In addition, the rest of the tarot card team will also come along." Hestria, who was standing not far away, smiled faintly. She maintained a certain distance from the phantom with a thousand teeth. The grudge between the two of them was too deep. It seemed that it had not been resolved yet.
Back then, the level 3 Hestria had helped Li Xiang a lot. At that time, he was still a magic user. The former also treated him as her younger brother and was the one in the Rose Maids who admired him the most.
If not for Hestria's insistence, many of the maids would have sided with Sofia and refused to acknowledge Li Xiang as their new master.
Now, the Rose Maids wanted nothing more than to become Li Xiang's harem. Each of them was full of praise for him, as if they were proud of his identity as a maid.
The tarot card was the same.
These organizations had a bad reputation in the seven continents. They had a lot of cases on their hands. Most of their members were famous fugitives. It was very awkward for them to cooperate with other organizations. Therefore, Honey had assigned these people to the Great Wall of Polar night.
Here, they were unrestrained and had no restrictions. It would be much better for them.
With the help of the Maids and the tarot card, Li Xiang was relieved. He looked at Hestria, who deliberately turned her head away and did not look at him. She looked a little angry.
Was she blaming him for not contacting her for so long? Li Xiang rubbed his nose. He was a little confused.
The only member of the Maids that he was still in close contact with was Sofia. The latter was an important staff member of the Research Institute and had a high status. The others, such as Kiana, Reah, and Andrea, were all occasionally contacted. Only Hestria seemed to have been out of touch for a long time.
"Tsk, young master, don't tell me you have designs on Hestria?" The phantom with a thousand teeth strolled over and came between the two of them. She raised her head and looked at Li Xiang provocatively. "She is mine."
To declare sovereignty, a strong desire to dominate and possess was an important characteristic left behind by the Disaster. In this regard, the phantom with a thousand teeth was no exception.
When she said this, Li Xiang remembered the few interactions he had with her.
The phantom with a thousand teeth said that the evil seed given to her by Bai Lili had been in her body for a long time. Therefore, when she was in the human world, the person that Hestria thought of as her lover had always been her.
It had never changed.
It was only later that she found that she could not continue to hide, so she directed and acted out this show to let Hestria have a thought. She would not forget to take revenge and leave the mark behind. This way, she could live longer and live until she returned to her side.
However, such a truth was too much of a shock for Hestria. It would be difficult for her to accept it for a while. But looking at the two of them being so close, could it be that she had already accepted it?
No wonder she did not want to look at him. Was she a little shy?!
Li Xiang was stunned. He then thought of Ye Tong and New Moon. In the end, he did not say anything. The world was about to be destroyed. They could do whatever they wanted. The most important thing was not to leave any regrets.
Rita pulled him around the Great Wall of the Polar night. The Great Wall stretched for thousands of miles and was magnificent. It was more majestic and sturdy than the Disaster Wall of the past. The Night Watchers did not need to use black cloaks to cover themselves. They did not need to hide their past. They did not need to feel ashamed of coming here.
Today was different from the past. The Night Watchers who could come to the Great Wall of the Polar night to fight on the front line had gone through many rounds of selection. They were all top players in their field or the best players of the same level.
This was a supreme honor.
Their spirit was completely different from the lifeless Night Watchers of the past.
"How is it? I didn't disappoint you, did I?" Rita waved her hand and looked down at the world with him. Her aura was heroic as if the world was in her hands.
Li Xiang nodded.
"So you don't have to worry too much. Compared to the Disaster Kingdom, the unknown Fairy Tale Kingdom and Technology Kingdom are more troublesome. The Holy Church Kingdom in the North has also launched an invasion. I heard that the situation is not good. Little Lori is there. Go and see her." Rita pushed him and smiled brightly. "We'll take care of it."
Li Xiang no longer hesitated. Since she had said so, of course, he chose to trust her. He turned his head and waved at Hestria's direction before flying up into the sky again.
After Li Xiang left, Rita's smile immediately disappeared. She looked at the sky and waited for his shadow to disappear completely. Then, she waved the cloak behind her and walked toward the castle.
The Great Wall of the Polar night was sturdy, but it also consumed a lot of energy. In the endless battle day and night, countless people fell asleep and died. She did not know how long she could last, but this time, she would not leave.
If the city existed, the people would live. If the city was destroyed, the people would die.
.....
After hearing Rita's words, Li Xiang turned around and prepared to go to the North.
As soon as the Holy Church's Divine Kingdom had descended, it had issued the Six Commandments, using the supreme power of law to seal the entire northern continent. Meanwhile, the Shield King led the Ox Family in a showdown with the Holy Church's various superpowers. The battle was far more intense than that of the other continents.
The Holy Church Patriarch was a fanatic and hated heretics to the extreme. After returning after death, the twisted values and rules made it difficult for people to breathe.
Li Xiang had just arrived in the North when he was choked by the pungent smell of blood.
After so many years, he had smelled countless blood. At the border, there were countless rotting corpses. The smell lingered at the tip of his nose for days without dissipating. However, compared to the smell here, it was nothing!
It was too tragic!
Looking around, the periphery of many mechanical cities was covered with corpses. Some were enemies, and some were allies. The number was still increasing, almost forming a wall of corpses.
