Run Away, This Civilization Is Cheating!
Chapter 335: The Great Emperor Above!_2
However, Tian Chunyan was clearly not afraid of death.
She wanted to return to her hometown to fight alongside her colleagues, which was not surprising at all.
However, this also added a special emotion in Zhuang Ying's heart.
Although their main purpose in coming to this world was for resources and points, and to control the indigenous civilization for manpower, for the natives of this world, they were nothing less than the arrival of a Savior!
"We ought to be this powerful and should continue to remain so!" Zhuang Ying realized, that emotion was called pride.
At this moment, Tian Chunyan was not aware of what Zhuang Ying was thinking. In fact, since the appearance of those "Floating Fortresses", she had only seen Zhuang Ying once.
However, that was no longer important.
The other party must have their own matters to attend to.
Her heart was now completely captivated by the Night that was about to fall.
Since she was born, such nights had occurred countless times; they had been everyone's nightmare long ago, and tonight's Night would be the most important one in her and everyone else's lifetime!
She knew well that those Weird Demons and Demons she had seen before would show their true fangs to them, to this world!
There would be no more Blood Food delivered right to their door, nor any deceived, corralled livestock.
This night, everyone would fight for true freedom, for their true fate!
Just thinking this, Tian Chunyan could barely control her excitement.
She carefully glanced at the few people in front of her, especially fixing her gaze on one of them.
That was also a female warrior, clad in black War Armor; she was clearly the leader of a team exceeding three hundred people and would be the one deciding the fate of four million people in her hometown this evening.
Seemingly noticing her gaze, the woman turned and smiled slightly.
"Fearful?"
"..." Tian Chunyan was stunned for a moment before realizing she was being addressed, and immediately fixed her gaze, saying solemnly, "I am not afraid!"
That was the truth.
Before her were three hundred Great Powers!
Visible to the naked eye, far more powerful than they were!
And according to her knowledge, those formidable Weird Demons outside their city at the "Great Power" level amounted to only about twelve or thirteen.
Even though these people were not all like that adult who could easily fight a hundred to one, what was there to fear in the face of such numbers?
"Right answer," the female leader smiled, "For people like you, if you don't show bravery in death, there's simply no chance of entering the Eternal Divine Kingdom."
"Eternal Divine Kingdom..." Tian Chunyan was startled.
"That is the beyond of Heroic Spirits created by the Great Emperor," the tone of the female leader held clear longing and anticipation, "Every warrior belonging to the Great Emperor, after a heroic sacrifice, will go to the beyond, to be under the protection of the Great Emperor, to rest peacefully there."
"..." Tian Chunyan understood.
This suddenly made her feel much closer to these mysterious and incredibly powerful warriors.
Because among their leaders, there were similar sayings.
This was probably the most beautiful fantasy in the hearts of all warriors fighting hard against the Night.
However, just as Tian Chunyan was about to say something else, the female leader, as if sighing, said, "My husband became a Heroic Spirit and entered Eternal Heaven after his sacrifice. We can only meet once a year; sometimes I think about how we still need to fight hard, yet he can sleep greatly year after year there, and I really envy him."
"???" Tian Chunyan was completely baffled.
Did the other person speak wrongly, or did she hear wrongly?
Wasn't it only after death that one could enter Eternal Heaven? How could they still meet once a year?
"Captain, such thoughts of yours must not be entertained," a warrior next to the female captain said with a helpless expression, "This is escapism, be careful or you might be punished by His Majesty the Emperor."
"I was just saying," the female captain pursed her lips, brought her hands together again, and whispered softly, "Great Emperor above…"
Everyone around silently watched her pray.
Inside Human Civilization nowadays, especially among the frontline warriors, attitudes towards the Emperor had divided into different categories.
Some saw the Emperor as Divine, praying daily with utmost devotion.
Others regarded him as the Savior, the Guardian, respecting and admiring without much exaggeration.
Still others continued to call him "President," viewing him merely as the supreme ruler of civilization.
All these attitudes were quite free.
After all, the President had emphasized more than once that he was not divine, needed no faith, and belonged to no faction.
In reality, most people understood that even the most devout believers were essentially just seeking solace and courage for their own hearts.
Much like their captain.
She shared a deep bond with her husband and after he was sacrificed, she had attempted suicide for a long time, only to be dissuaded. Upon seeing her husband during the first Heroic Spirit Day, she voluntarily became a follower of His Majesty the Emperor and even joined the military, seeking to carry forward her husband's will and achievements… Although many believed she still hoped to sacrifice herself on the battlefield, to go to the Eternal Divine Kingdom, if only to sink into a prolonged sleep.
At that moment, someone finally noticed Tian Chunyan, seemingly in great shock.
They explained with little pride, "You'll find out, the Great Emperor protects everyone who fights for Human Civilization!"
"Human Civilization! Great Emperor!"
Tian Chunyan's heart pounded wildly.
She had finally learned the name of this powerful force, and even the title of its ruler.
Could this Emperor truly create the Eternal Divine Kingdom, gathering all the lost souls of the sacrificed? And even give them a chance in this present world?
Now she fully understood the devotion of the female captain; she too would willingly give her all for such an Emperor!
In comparison, what was her former emperor?
No, it's disrespectful even to compare!
Tian Chunyan hastily mimicked the female captain, bringing her palms together in prayer.
This amused the onlookers slightly.
They never intended to spread the glory of the Emperor, but this one was clever indeed.
Not to mention, shouting "Great Emperor above" during combat might fetch some care from the fighters of Human Civilization.
"The path has widened," some sighed.
Traveling at the speed of a spaceship, Yuanfeng City soon appeared before everyone.
Earlier in the day, administrative personnel had arrived here first, seized control of the situation, and proclaimed the arrival of the "Divine Country" to everyone in the city.
They hadn't directly spread the news of the previous elite class aiding the Weird Demons in breeding throughout the city because, after all, the authority of these elites had lasted too long, and could easily create too great a shock, causing chaos.
Instead, directly controlling these elites, having them promote the arrival of the "Divine Country," enabled quicker, more efficient control over the entire city.
It must be said, for the personnel from Human Civilization, controlling such a low-level native city was just too easy.
At that moment, seeing the "Divine Country Fortress" really appearing above as Night was about to fall, the entire city erupted in tremendous cheers.
Even Tian Chunyan above could clearly see the cheers.
"Let's go back," the female captain told Tian Chunyan, "Your task tonight is not to fight, but to keep a close watch on your Marshal, control him, support our commands, and maintain order throughout the city, no matter what happens, even if the city falls into enemy hands, no chaos must erupt."
