Chapter 1077 - 386: Sorry, Dad, We Seem Unable to Hold the Line Anymore!

One second... two seconds...

"Yes!!!"

A wild roar burst forth from Ji Wuya’s chest.

His wrinkled face was instantly covered with the ecstasy and excitement of having shed a heavy burden.

"Quick!!" He suddenly turned around and shouted at the staff officers who were equally overwhelmed with surprise and confusion.

His voice was as loud as if he were twenty years younger, "Inform all able brothers, open the gates, form ranks, and welcome our brothers of Dawn!!!"

...

Entrance to the fjord.

In front of the narrow passage formed naturally by huge ice rocks.

On the temporary clearing.

It was now crowded with people.

Ji Wuya stood at the forefront.

Behind him were the mid to high-level officers of Cold Bone Fjord who could leave their posts.

They straightened their weary bodies, tidying their battle-worn clothes covered in smoke and frost.

On their faces, there was an irrepressible excitement and curiosity.

The wind and snow sensitively abated a bit.

Under countless focused gazes, that deep blue torrent finally surged clearly into the fjord.

There were no thundering war drums, no raucous shouts.

Only a heavy, orderly sound of footsteps, like rolling thunder.

Thirty thousand Dawn Warriors!

Uniform deep blue combat suits.

They marched silently.

Their formation was so neat as if measured with a ruler, their footsteps echoing on the frozen ground.

Producing a dull and unified rumble.

Fierce! Robust! Refined!

A wave of battle-hardened oppression, like a tangible tsunami, rushed forward.

This was Dawn.

This was Fang Qingyu’s force.

This was the confidence to proclaim the name of Dawn by the gates of the Life Ghost’s nest across the entire Arctic.

They had heard of the jaw-dropping welfare policies of the City of Dawn.

Heard of those enticing Heroic Spirit Monuments, family guarantees, allocated residences...

But they had already stamped themselves on this scarred defense line of Cold Bone Fjord.

Not unwilling, but unable.

At this moment, watching the strong army representing hope and future pass before them.

That envy silently surged in everyone’s heart.

"Old Zhang! Haha, still alive?!"

"Limping Li, your leg still hasn’t been gnawed off by the Life Ghost?"

Suddenly, from within the ranks of Dawn, came a few rough greetings mixed with jokes and the joy of a long-awaited reunion.

A few of the robust Dawn Warriors walking at the edge of the formation.

Vigorously waved at a few familiar faces in the ranks of Cold Bone Fjord.

Their faces openly adorned with smiles.

The named Cold Bone Fjord veterans were first taken aback.

Then their faces broke into heartfelt smiles, responding with banter.

"Get lost! Even if you die, I won’t!"

"Bullshit! I’ve got a new leg, harder than your third leg."

A few simple greetings.

Instantly closed the distance.

Many of these Dawn Warriors had voluntarily joined from the Great Wall side.

They were already acquainted with the veterans of Cold Bone Fjord.

Had even fought side by side.

Reuniting at this start of the counteroffensive.

That camaraderie needs no further words.

Ji Wuya watched this scene full of humanity.

A hint of a comforting smile also appeared on his serious face.

He no longer waited, leading the officers behind him to stride towards the core region of the Dawn Army.

There, a few figures were stepping out.

Leading them was Fang Qingyu.

He still wore that combat suit dotted with Star Point Tribulation Crystals, standing as straight as a pine.

His face calm, starry eyes deep, as if containing a swirling galaxy.

Just standing there quietly, he naturally became the center of the entire universe.

Exuding an aura of vastness, overwhelming and awe-inspiring.

Beside him, on the left, was the frost-cold, Profound Qilin Double Blades-wielding Wei Banmeng.

On the right, the flame-haired Jiang Wei.

Behind were Chu Kuanglan, Lu Jiuyuan, and other Tier Three members.

As for Captain Lin and Houzi and the others of Tier Two.

They were leading people inside the formation.

"Captain Fang, fellow brothers of Dawn! Through wind and snow, you have worked hard!"

Ji Wuya stepped forward, solemnly cupping his hands in salute.

His voice sonorous, lowering his posture significantly.

Even faintly regarding Fang Qingyu as the leader.

The officers behind him also solemnly saluted.

"General Ji, everyone, thank you for waiting."

Fang Qingyu slightly nodded, returning the gesture, his voice calm and unruffled.

Ji Wuya showed no intention of questioning why Dawn arrived so late.

He directly stepped aside to lead the way.

"Outside is not the place for conversation, let’s go inside the command post to talk."

"Alright."

Fang Qingyu did not refuse, stepping forward to follow.

The group quickly passed through the troops standing solemnly on both sides and entered the ice cave command post.

In front of the massive tactical sand table.

Everyone took their seats.

Ji Wuya did not move toward the main seat but naturally stood beside the sand table.

Leaving the central position to Fang Qingyu.

Fang Qingyu did not stand on ceremony, heading straight to the main seat next to the sand table.

With Wei Banmeng and Jiang Wei sitting on either side, the others took their places consecutively.

Ji Wuya then sat at Fang Qingyu’s flank.

"Captain Fang, everyone."

Ji Wuya got straight to the point, looking extremely serious.

"I won’t say many pleasantries. Currently, other main battlefields at the ring line, after receiving reinforcements from the rear, began attempting small-scale exploratory advances yesterday, trying to break through the Life Ghosts’ blockade and establish new forward support points."

He pointed his finger at the sand table, indicating several key nodes of the ring line.

"As for us here at Cold Bone Fjord, now that Captain Fang’s forces are gathered, the curtain for the counteroffensive on the ring line can formally lift! All my troops are ready to charge and pave the way for the main force."
