Chapter 73: The Papal State Route (Seeking First Subscription!)

Dionysos stood atop the city wall, gazing anxiously at the scene below.

“They’re building a siege wall.”

He lowered his hand from shading his eyes, picked up his shield and spear again, and resumed pacing along the battlements. Having once served in the Byzantine army, he was all too familiar with this device.

A siege wall, put simply, was another wall constructed outside the enemy’s city walls.

“Will the Normans counterattack?” another Greek asked.

Only then did Yan Chengchi finally withdraw his gaze with satisfaction. He slowly rose from his chair, reached for his coat and put it on unhurriedly, picked up his car keys, and strode out of the office.

Xin Qijie shook his head slightly, channeling his vital energy into her body, letting it circulate through her meridians several times to cleanse her muscles and refine her bones.

The gigantic cat, Maodong, still in shock, looked up at the gray-brown flying vessel hovering in midair. Suddenly, a quivering vine extended from the ship’s edge and, with a swish, wrapped tightly around Maodong, hoisting it up.

The “bang bang!” sound continued to ring out, and to his horror, fine cracks had already begun to appear on the Golden Bell Shield.

Crimson flames shot skyward, blossoming into a sea of red that battled fiercely against Yi Gong’s icy aura, the two forces colliding with a violent clash.

The shattering of its paw and the snapping of its ribs merely made its movements less agile than before, but this did not halt its onslaught.

Yang Shuchen pressed the doorbell vigorously, ringing it again and again, but no one came to answer.

He didn’t give it much thought, after all, it was none of his business. He had never been one to meddle in such affairs.

The tall, thin cultivator’s face lit up with a broad smile as Lin Yu emerged, though his narrow eyes still gave off a cunning impression.

With those words, the atmosphere in the living room fell silent, save for Zhao Hongzhuang’s heavy, labored breathing.

After all, a great tree offers ample shade, and the Swallowing Heaven Hall was indeed a towering one. Since Du Gu Nian hailed from the Du Gu family, it was only natural for the family to borrow some of the Hall’s prestige, Du Gu Fenglei mused.

“But Butcher Wu has kept a distance of about twenty li behind our rear guard and hasn’t pressed closer. There are three reports each day now, and any news will be relayed to you at once, my lord,” Li Guo replied hastily.

As Wang Lin spoke, he suddenly lunged toward the shadow, while Ye Wei also advanced without delay, charging at the black figure in tandem with Wang Lin.

At this thought, Wuya gripped his blade in both hands and brought it down in a sweeping arc. Hundreds of five-colored sword beams shot forth like a forest, sealing off all of Tang Cheng’s escape routes. Wuya’s long blade could actually reorganize and reflect the opponent’s attacks—a truly defiant power.

“Gah gah, gah gah!” Boss, upon hearing Zuo Dengfeng’s voice, let out an ecstatic cry, flailing his limbs in excitement.

Fang Qingye had come here to guard against Mo Suhei, fearing he might do something at the critical moment when Fang Lin was about to attain the rank of Pill Master.

And this Lin Erdan was, in fact, Fang Lin himself. Everything had unfolded as if within a pre-drawn circle.

Naturally, in order to cultivate these new industries, the Runing Army’s initial profits might not be significant, and they might even need to invest in nurturing costs. Moreover, they must not allow too much speculation, to prevent an economic crisis from toppling these fledgling industries.

“We of the Luminous Moon Sect challenge the Azure Jade Court!” Xue Lin maintained his stance, simply repeating his declaration in a loud voice.

Dual domains were already exceedingly rare—most people could only master one in their lifetime. Being able to wield two domains was practically the stuff of legend, and now, they bore witness to it.

The reason was simple: Wu Jie felt his strength was still insufficient. If he wanted others’ respect, he first had to be strong enough himself, even if this was only a game.
