Those Classmates who Suddenly Disappeared-Chapter 1757: Reclaiming Dark City

In the early morning, the sky was dark, the air filled with unease, and everyone’s hearts were tense.

Teams of people followed orders, donned the uniforms of the X Legion, and set out on the path of death.

Gu Fan, Jie, and the others led the troops forward, and the teams that came to join kept increasing in number, growing from a dozen to hundreds of people.

A gathering of strong warriors, including Qian Feng, Lin Yue, and the boss, formed an unprecedentedly powerful lineup, advancing with a vigorous stride, as if they could swallow mountains and rivers.

The odds of winning this battle were not great, but no one backed down. Everyone even felt that being able to fight side by side with so many people, participating in such a grand battle in their lifetime, made life worthwhile.

The journey went smoothly, and after a stretch of road, they finally arrived at the towering walls of the Dark City.

It was still a black wall, but this time it was made of materials from ancient super civilizations that were neither metal nor stone, extremely sturdy, indestructible, and gave an even more magnificent and towering feeling.

Quickly, under the guidance of Ouyang Jin, the gates of the Dark City swung open, and everyone followed Ouyang Jin and Gu Fan inside.

Upon entering the Dark City, the new look shocked Gu Fan. The architecture of the new Dark City was more planned, and the quality of the houses was better, a stark contrast to the dirty and chaotic former city.

However, Gu Fan had no time to admire the new Dark City, as he immediately instructed everyone to follow the plan.

Teams broke off from the main force, turning into alleyways, and began establishing multiple defense lines centered around the Tower of Darkness.

The hundreds of troops were quickly reduced to just a dozen people, and with fewer numbers, they didn’t attract much attention as they approached the Tower of Darkness.

On the road leading to the Tower of Darkness, many vehicles and patrol teams came and went, making Ouyang Jin and Gu Fan’s small group seem unexceptional.

As the target drew nearer, Lu Yi couldn’t help but speak, "I say, Gu Fan, even if the Demon King is turning a blind eye and letting us in, the two sides will inevitably fight. The Demon King knows what you want to do and how you will attack. The Demon King isn’t going to just sit and take the beating without fighting back."

Hearing this, everyone’s hearts sank because Lu Yi hit the critical point. freёweɓnovel_com

Gu Fan nodded, "That’s right, if I were the Demon King, I would know everyone’s movements now and have prepared a response, maybe even preemptive action. That means the moment we entered, we lost all our advantage."

Ouyang Jin panicked, "What do you mean, the Demon King has already set traps for your movements, waiting for you to step into them, and you, Gu Fan, knowingly come to deliver yourselves."

To this, Gu Fan sighed, "There’s no choice. What I am doing now, he has done before. The power of the Destiny Stone cannot be resisted, and you all know this in your hearts."

"What’s that? You’re being difficult with yourself and dragging us along." Lu Yi sighed, showing little enthusiasm.

As some began to resent Gu Fan, Leng Feng stepped forward, "What’s there to say? The X Legion is about to bring back the ancient super civilization. Do we have any other choice?"

"Really, since we’re here, we should be prepared to sacrifice ourselves." Jie walked steadfastly, his gaze fixed firmly on the direction of the Tower of Darkness.

Everyone walked very cautiously, now aware of their situation, fearing that any sound might bring enemies rushing in from all directions; just imagining it was terrifying.

However, after walking some distance, everything remained calm around them. The X Legion seemed unaware of Ouyang Jin’s defection and hadn’t discovered Gu Fan’s arrival.

Lu Yi, too nervous, asked, "Since the Demon King knows we’re here, he’ll take action eventually, right? When do you think he’ll attack us? Could it be when we enter the Tower of Darkness?"

"No!" Gu Fan said firmly. The reason was simple. Entering the Tower of Darkness means being close to the spaceship, and even if the Demon King is willing, Ause wouldn’t be.

Gu Fan deduced that the Demon King would make his move when they neared the Tower of Darkness.

"Everyone, the battle is about to begin. Be ready and act according to the plan," Gu Fan said calmly, but everyone felt uncertain.

The boss sneered, "If the Demon King knows your plan, knows what you want to do, then what’s the point of following your plan?"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Gu Fan with questioning eyes.

Yet Gu Fan appeared indifferent, "I emphasize again, what I am doing now is what the Demon King has done before, and don’t think of changing the arrangement of the Destiny Stone, so follow my intentions."

"Alright, you’re the boss, I’ll follow you." The boss no longer hesitated, his steps became firmer.

Gu Xiaojin felt that Gu Fan’s words were layered, noting that there was some confidence in his eyes, as if there were things he hadn’t disclosed to everyone.

Finally, the group arrived at the base of the Tower of Darkness. Gu Fan looked up, his gaze cutting sharply.

Meanwhile, at the top of the Tower of Darkness, the Demon King stood with hands behind his back, overlooking below, a smirk at the corner of his mouth, "They’ve come, finally."

Beside him, Ause asked, "You knew Gu Fan would come back, why don’t you block them outside the Dark City."

The Demon King, with a smug look, replied, "Blocking them outside, how would we wipe them out once and for all with this method?"

"Makes a bit of sense," Ause said expressionlessly, intently watching the gathering of strong warriors below, reminded of how the Dark City was taken years ago, a sense of foreboding rising.

Ause ordered not to allow the enemy to take a step inside the Dark City, instructing the entire X Legion to take action.

However, the Demon King prevented Ause from intervening, as only the Demon King knew Gu Fan’s plan and how to marshal forces against them.

"I hope you’ll do as you say." Ause crossed his arms, stepping aside, relinquishing command, temporarily trusting the Demon King.

"Relax, have I ever let you down?" The Demon King picked up the walkie-talkie, instructing all units to follow previous orders, to annihilate the invading enemies.

At that moment, the gates of the Dark City closed in tightly, the defense systems of the Tower of Darkness fully activated, and the X Legion surrounded from all directions, the final battle commenced.
