Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies

Silver Armor raised his right hand, a twisted blade formed from condensed smoke about to strike at Li Changgong.

Li Changgong took a deep breath. The abundant oxygen could keep his mind clear to think of countermeasures.

He gripped his long blade tightly, preparing to block this strike head-on!

Li Changgong took a deep breath. The abundant oxygen could keep his brain clear to think of countermeasures.

For now, he could only take things one step at a time.

Until the very end, when all hope was lost, he would have no choice but to desperately detonate all the Love of Death weapons!

At that moment, even if the person before him were a god, they would be killed!

Just as Silver Armor was about to make his move, the ground below suddenly trembled violently. A wave of scorching smoke surged up from the depths of the earth.

The earth shook, and Li Changgong couldn’t help but glance down at the ground with his peripheral vision.

It turned out that after round after round of fierce battle, the ground of Chang’an City had long been shattered into deep depressions. The earth was split apart, covered everywhere with terrifying spiderweb-like cracks.

And from within the cracks, fiery red glows appeared one after another, while scorching waves of heat rose into the air.

”Is this... an underground volcano?”

Li Changgong was somewhat stunned. At a time like this, an underground volcano had actually appeared beneath Chang’an City—and it was awakening! Wasn’t this just adding insult to injury?

Silver Armor frowned. He glanced at Li Changgong, then at the gradually widening cracks in the ground.

Glowing red hot magma had already begun to seep out, seemingly about to break through the surface and drown everything.

Silver Armor let out a helpless sigh.

”Time’s up!”

The black smoke in his hand suddenly dispersed. He raised his head and looked into the distance, saying, ”Let’s call it a day! You lot have surprised me, but next time, it won’t be so easy!”

”Destruction will eventually come! No one can escape it.”

After speaking, he rode the black smoke and slowly retreated.

Li Changgong didn’t understand what Silver Armor meant by his words, but he did understand that for some unknown reason, Silver Armor had chosen to withdraw.

”Wait! You bastard, what exactly do you plan to do to my Northwest? Answer me!”

Li Changgong roared, but he didn’t choose to follow, wary of a possible trick.

Throughout all of Chang’an City, black smoke rose into the sky, shrouding the entire city.

Silver Armor slowly melted into the black smoke, his figure disappearing from sight.

In the distance, Black-White Commander, who had been locked in fierce combat with Xiao Lie, received Silver Armor’s signal. He muttered unwillingly, ”Yes, General!”

He fiercely unleashed a massive wind blade, forcing Xiao Lie back, then soared into the air.

At the same time, all the Azure Armor warriors ceased their attacks. They hoisted the corpses of their fallen comrades onto their shoulders and flew into the sky alongside Black-White Commander.

The black smoke filling the city concealed their bodies. Xiao Lie immediately ordered, ”No pursuit! Let them go!”

This battle had been far too brutal. By now, the death toll within the city had exceeded one hundred thousand! And these were all elite warriors.

If the civilians hadn’t been evacuated beforehand, the millions of residents in the city would likely have all perished beneath the shroud of black mist.

At this point, Xiao Lie was no longer confident he could win this defensive battle.

So, although he didn’t know why the enemy was retreating, if it could resolve the immediate crisis, then that was naturally for the best.

Everyone watched helplessly as the Mist Valley forces departed.

Before long, the black mist vanished from Chang’an City like a puff of smoke.

The entire city fell into deathly silence, corpses strewn everywhere.

There was a glimmer of joy in the eyes of the survivors for having escaped disaster, but more than anything, there was still lingering fear.

Li Changgong looked at the vast ruins of Chang’an City that had been destroyed. He had no time for grief and immediately issued orders to the entire city.

”Reconnaissance units, immediately impose martial law across the city! Guard against a second wave of enemy attack!”

”Medical units, move out! Treat the wounded!”

”Don’t let your guard down—the enemy could strike again at any moment!”

After issuing these orders, he looked down at the ground beneath his feet, worrying about how to deal with the impending volcanic eruption.

But just at that moment, he was astonished to discover that the cracked earth had become completely still.

The crimson magma showed no signs of continuing to erupt. Instead, it was slowly receding back down.

”What in the world... is going on?”

Doubt filled Li Changgong’s heart, but he still hurriedly instructed his subordinates to send the Survey Team along with geological experts to investigate.

Li Changgong arrived at the underground Command Center, where Xiao Lie had also returned with the Five Extremes War Gods.

Seeing that they were all alive, Li Changgong nodded in satisfaction. He especially walked over and patted Xiao Lie on the shoulder.

”Xiao Lie, you did well!”

If it hadn’t been for Xiao Lie blocking Black-White Commander’s attacks this time, and if the two enemy Epsilon-class Transcendents had attacked him simultaneously, Li Changgong definitely wouldn’t have been able to handle it.

Xiao Lie lowered his head and said respectfully, ”It’s all thanks to your excellent command, Commander! How could my faint firefly light dare to compare with the brilliance of your bright moon?”

Li Changgong smiled faintly and nodded in satisfaction.

He then looked at the other Five Extremes War Gods. ”Of course, you all did exceptionally well too!”

”This defensive battle is a major victory for our Northwest Major Region! We successfully repelled the enemy’s invasion!”

”After this battle, all the major powers of the world will surely come to know just how formidable the strength of our Northwest Major Region truly is!”

On the other side, a subordinate officer came over to report to Li Changgong.

”Commander, as per your orders, we have sent news of victory to the other major regions! Informing them of the great triumph at Chang’an City.”

Li Changgong nodded. ”What’s the current situation in the other major regions?”

The officer replied, ”Reports of victory keep pouring in.”

”But according to the true intelligence we’ve received: in the East China Sea Major Region, East Sea City has been largely destroyed. Xuanwu is severely injured, and the Sea Dragon troops have suffered heavy casualties. Additionally, Qinglong is suspected to have been killed in battle!”

”As for the Northeast Major Region, with the assistance of the National Protection Army, it did not fall. However, it also suffered heavy losses.”

”The Shengjing district and Southwest Region have seen no combat and are still watching from the sidelines.”

”As for the Jiangnan Region...”

Li Changgong listened to the officer’s report, constantly measuring the gap between the other regions and his own Northwest Major Region.

Surely, having successfully repelled the Mist Valley forces’ invasion through its own strength alone, the Northwest Major Region should be the standout among all the major regions.

But when he heard the words ”Jiangnan Region,” his nerves immediately tensed up.

Only when facing Zhang Yi could he hardly remain calm.

Because that was the man who had once defeated him. And unlike Li Changgong, who came from a noble background, Zhang Yi was merely an ordinary warehouse manager of humble origins.

It was only losing to him that left Li Changgong feeling deeply unsatisfied, so he was always looking for a chance to get one over on Zhang Yi and reclaim his pride.

”What about the Jiangnan Region?”

Li Changgong’s eyes locked onto the officer, his gaze piercing.

The officer swallowed hard and said with difficulty, ”The Jiangnan Region... annihilated all invading enemies!”
