Chapter 427 - 323 - Boundary Monument Advancement!

"Teams One, Three, and Seven stay on site for monitoring, Teams Four and Five sweep the battlefield, everyone else return immediately."

The sergeant major loudly issued the command.

The soldiers executed their orders without fail.

Elsa led everyone back.

The soldiers near the Boundary Monument felt uneasy, seeing everyone return so quickly, especially since only half of them came back.

Could it be that the Ghost Spirits General has appeared?

"Everyone stop resting! Prepare to shut down the Boundary Monument! The Boundary Monument is set to advance one kilometer forward! Prepare immediately!" the sergeant major roared with excitement.

Everyone froze in shock. Advancing the Boundary Monument? Heaven Realm hadn’t advanced the Boundary Monument for hundreds of years! You should know, advancing the Boundary Monument isn’t a simple task. It’s a process that is extremely complex!

The technician who accompanied the team was also stunned. His heartbeat seemed to stop. Despite fighting many times, and although the Boundary Monument maintenance personnel always accompanied the team to prepare for its advance, not a single Boundary Monument of Heaven Realm had ever been moved in one hundred years.

The reason was simple - the war was becoming increasingly difficult.

In the beginning, the Ghost Spirits were no more than creatures that reproduced explosively like viruses. But thousands of years of war changed them completely. By acquiring knowledge from the Celestial Clan hosts, the Ghost Spirits also began to mimic the Celestial Clan’s behaviors. They developed tactics and even evolved some powerful individuals to lead their teams in battles against the Celestial Clan.

The Ghost Spirits were originally much stronger than the Celestial Clan. With the addition of intelligence, they became even more formidable. Although the Ghost Spirits couldn’t move the Boundary Monument backwards, the Celestial Clan’s efforts to advance were also increasingly difficult.

But today, could the Boundary Monument be moved forward again?

"What the hell are all of you doing just standing there?! Everyone start moving now!!" the sergeant major was furious.

The technician hastily flew up, but he flew too fast and almost crashed into the Boundary Monument.

"Damn it! If you screw up the advancement of the Boundary Monument, even if you die, I’ll resurrect you just to kill you again!" the sergeant major roared.

The young technician clearly understood the importance of the situation. He didn’t have time to say anything. He placed both hands on the Boundary Monument.

"Shut it down!"

A special magic was cast, making the entire Boundary Monument rumble. The enormous Boundary Monument began to slowly descend. The sergeant major watched, hoping the Boundary Monument could move faster. At the same time, he anxiously watched the distance, fearing the appearance of any Celestial Clan soldier. Because if anyone appeared, it would mean that the reinforcements from the Ghost Spirits might have arrived.

Boom!

The Boundary Monument completely retreated into the base. The ground shook as the base slowly rose, and the lowermost portion of the base amazingly split open, forming six legs!

"Advance!"

The technician shouted. His voice trembled. Since becoming a technician, he had never actually moved any Boundary Monument. All operating procedures were only from textbook training. But today, without the guidance of a mentor, he was personally moving a Boundary Monument!

This was a glory even his mentor hadn’t achieved!

The six legs began to move one by one. The maintenance team quickly started to clear rocks and soil from the legs to prevent the joints from jamming. But clearly their worries were unnecessary. The legs possessed great strength, they easily crushed massive rocks as if they were just foam, encountering no obstruction at all.

Boom!

The first leg heavily landed, making the whole ground shake.

Boom! Boom!

All six legs landed one by one, and with just one step, they had already covered a huge distance of one hundred meters!

The sergeant major kept a close watch on the distance from mid-air, feeling anxious. Couldn’t it move any faster?

At that moment, that was what almost everyone was thinking. But considering the immense weight of the Boundary Monument, its current speed was actually not slow.

Boom!

The second step!

The third step!

...

The seventh step!

Only three steps away from advancing a whole kilometer! That was the limit for the advancement of a Boundary Monument. If it’s too far, it wouldn’t overlap with neighboring Boundary Monuments and that could allow the Ghost Spirits to enter through the gap. The sergeant major planned to advance a full kilometer in one go!

But, things won’t be that simple!

At this moment, a soldier was flying rapidly from afar.

"The reinforcements of the Ghost Spirits have arrived! We’re trying to divert them, but it seems like the Boundary Monument is their target!"

The soldier shouted.

"Damn it! Take another step! Just one more step!" the sergeant major bellowed.

"But Seargeant Major! According to the procedure we should..." The technician shouted.

"Screw the procedures! Take another step for me! If the Ghost Spirits arrive first, I’ll go and hold them off!"

Boom!

A leg heavily took a step forward.

You must know, the Boundary Monument has six legs, once the first leg steps forward, it can only be re-rooted once all six legs have moved.

On the distant horizon, dust is billowing, the Ghost Spirits army has already charged over.

"I’m going!"

"No, Your Highness Princess! Please stay here! Trust me!" the sergeant major said.

By this point, all the runes on Elsa’s body have dissipated, and the Boundary Monument has closed. Elsa appears to be out of trump cards. The sergeant major knows Elsa is powerful, but no one would dare to claim to be powerful when faced with Ghost Spirits.

Elsa looked at the sergeant major, nodded slightly, and remained still.

Boom!

The second leg steps forward.

"Officer! Order a rally!" a soldier shouted.

"..."

The sergeant major didn’t speak, only staring fixedly into the distance.

Accompanied by a huge vibration, the remaining four legs step forward one after another, and the Ghost Spirits in the distance were already discernible!

"Root!"

The technician’s voice trembled as he shouted, previously it was excitement, and now it was fear. However, despite his fear, his process was not mistaken, as he had trained countless times for today, and everything was instinctive to him.

The part under the six legs turned into a drill and plunged into the ground. At the same time, the six legs merge into a base!

"Boundary Monument, reboot!"

The huge Boundary Monument begins to rise slowly, despite the fast speed, the Ghost Spirits are also advancing quickly!

The warriors have started to get restless, it’s time for battle now!

"Everyone stay put!" The sergeant major roared, and he himself flew out, standing between the Ghost Spirits and the Boundary Monument.

And the Ghost Spirit at the very front had already spotted the sergeant major!

"Aaah!"

The Mental Impact arrived in a blink of an eye, the sergeant major stumbled, but did not fall, all the while murmuring quietly.

"Five... four... three... two... one..."

Boom! The huge Boundary Monument rises again.

Hum! A strange Resonance sounded, and the sprinting Ghost Spirits fell to the ground immediately.

But the Ghost Spirit nearest to the sergeant major fell heavily on him, its claw almost touching the Boundary Monument.

The still shaky technician flew down from above, he glared at the sergeant major, yelling: "You bastard! Do you know what would happen if the Ghost Spirits touched the Boundary Monument! I will see you in military court!"

"Damn it! Even if I have to face a military court, or even death, I have no regrets!"

The sergeant major kicked the Ghost Spirit off with one foot, while cursing heavily.

The entire Heaven Realm was instantly stirred. The Boundary Monument, which had not moved for a hundred years, was now advancing eight hundred meters under the leadership of Princess Elsa!

This is an unparalleled honour!

The Heaven Realm has not been thrown into such ecstasy for a long time. The recently returned Princess Elsa possesses such great power! At this moment, no one in the Heaven Realm is interested in discussing anything else. Because for the people of Heaven Realm, there is no greater honour than reclaiming their homeland. Since a hundred years ago, when the Ghost Spirits began to get noticeably smarter, the Boundary Monument has become a substantial national border. The Boundary Monument is both the protector and the shame of the Celestial Clan. Those huge Boundary Monuments remind the Celestial Clan all the time that they still have a third of their territory occupied by the Ghost Spirits. Only the advancement of the Boundary Monument can bring them great joy.

And now, the Boundary Monument, which had been dormant for a hundred years, was once again advancing! All thanks to the power of Princess Elsa!

In the following days, under the leadership of Princess Elsa, the Boundary Monument has advanced one after the other. Some are five hundred meters, some are seven hundred meters. Though the distance varied based on the battle situation, at least we were advancing!

For a while, there were actually a few new entertainment projects in the Heaven Realm.

One is the Boundary Monument advancing journey.

Large crowds of tourists follow the army to the vicinity of the Boundary Monument, observing the grand scene of the Boundary Monument advancing from a distance and cheering. The other is gambling. Underground casinos have opened markets, betting on the distance of the Boundary Monument’s advance this time. Due to the uncertainty of the battle situation, no one knows exactly how far it will be. However, the movement of the Boundary Monument is in units of one hundred meters, from zero to one thousand meters, there are only eleven possibilities, someone will always make a fortune.

Selena had once fantasized about such a grand occasion, thinking she was the one standing in front of the soldiers being cheered. But apparently, she is not. She is already really powerful, and also has outstanding military talent. But when faced with the mighty Ghost Spirits, it’s very hard for her to make greater achievements. And now, Elsa appears, she is stronger than herself. Moreover, she can actually draw such a great power from the Boundary Monument! The Boundary Monument, which has been silent for a hundred years, can be said to have been driven by her.

Did she and her father really make a mistake back then?

Was that prophecy false?

At the top of the Imperial Palace, there’s a small platform, of which very few people know. Whenever she was upset about something, Selena would run here. She is destined to be the Emperor of the Heaven Realm, she can’t let anyone see her weakness and confusion. But now, Selena is really confused.

She came here only to find that someone was already present.

Elsa.

"Sister..." Selena squeezed a smile on her face.

"Sister." Elsa turned her head, her eyes red and swollen, even with teardrops hanging in the corner of her eyes!

My God! Was she crying! (To be continued. If you like this story, feel free to vote for it on qidian.com, your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users can read it on m.qidian.com.)
