Li Qing came into this room, sat by the window, and realized he arrived just in time.
The siege warfare in the Royal City was intense and spectacular.
The Sea Race members resembled Knights, riding giant octopuses, shells, sharks, crabs, and various forms of exoskeleton giants.
These Holy Knights had their lower bodies embedded within the heads of the giant beasts, controlling the oceanic giants, with their strong upper bodies wielding Ancient Forks, launching an attack.
Half-human, half-beastmen.
This is the latest version of the exoskeleton mecha.
"Attack the Atabia Imperial City!"
"Kill the Tyrant!"
The well-trained army emerged from the ocean to assault the Central Supreme Royal City on the land.
He began to feel amazed.
This war was more mythical than myth itself, with tens of millions of soldiers attacking, each meticulously detailed to the extreme.
Simply spectacular.
But it seemed like it would last a long time, and the most crucial thing was being hungry...
"Should I go find something to eat first?"
Li Qing wondered.
He couldn't really help with anything anyway.
But soon, the Pope still came with a group of high-ranking Cardinals.
They initiated the daily report.
The Pope took a step forward from the team and knelt to the ground:
"Lord, we have discovered that Emperor Atabia has accelerated the construction of the Tower of Babel, which definitely indicates a major issue!"
"Emperor Atabia has gradually relinquished power and completely ignored our evangelism, focusing all strength on the Tower of Babel, gathering the hundred billion smartest sages of the Atabians, only entering and not leaving."
Atabia's elite high-ranking forces had been emptied out.
If it weren't for this leaderless situation, the remaining ignorant masses wouldn't have been so easily influenced and bewitched.
"Therefore, we have also sped up progress, now directly initiating the final battle, ordering the army to attack the Royal City, capture Emperor Atabia, and kill the Emperor!"
Li Qing listened to the report.
The Pope's decision was correct.
Even though the Church was established for just two and a half days, he knew how to lead troops into war.
Launching a preemptive all-out offensive was the best course of action, who knows what he's developing.
Li Qing thought for a moment and casually replied, "Overthrow the Tyrant, and God is always with you!"
Woosh.
The Holy Light descended.
They prostrated on the ground, seeing the Light, reciting holy words, fervently praying, confessing their original sins to the Lord.
"The Lord revives my soul, guiding us on the path of righteousness!"
Seventy seconds later.
The entire guard was blessed.
The morale of this war instantly soared, as the Divine Spirit watched over this holy war, and the morale skyrocketed. This elite squad began to attack the front lines, assaulting the Royal City.
"The Lord grants us sharp blades!"
Rumble!
The army was in formation, their fighting spirit soaring to the heavens.
"Enact the Lord's justice, fight for the Lord!"
They raised the Awakened Divine Artifact, striking at the enemy.
"The Lord revives my soul, guiding us on the path of righteousness!"
Li Qing just silently observed.
He suddenly remembered Ning Guochang's description of the confrontation between the two armies.
He said it was a terrifying disaster warfare scene, as magnificent as a myth.
Back then, Li Qing thought his language was too pale, now he finally understood the magnificence within.
"Attacking the Royal City could actually press Emperor Atabia's hand." Li Qing mused.
This siege seemed impossible to capture in a short while, as the Empire's most elite troops were defending the Royal City, seemingly buying time to perfect the final Tower of Babel.
The Empire's elite troops were formidable.
Their exoskeleton ocean giant's warfare technology crushed the Light Church's civilian technology by a major grade, even if Li Qing helped them awaken their weapons, it could only bridge some gaps.
Li Qing seriously suspected that it would take until noon to break into the Imperial City!
After all.
Ancient warfare involved close combat.
A siege lasting a day was extremely typical.
"I should've gotten breakfast first."
Li Qing thought for a moment.
"The pre-battle encouragement has already been held, boosting the morale of the troops, so there's nothing left for me to do. It's not too late to go eat now."
He took out his phone, hung it up while monitoring, and went out to prevent any mishaps.
Hurriedly went outside to buy breakfast, then returned to the living room with his notebook.
When he returned, half an hour had passed, and they were still fighting!
"I knew I wouldn't miss it."
Li Qing showed a look of inevitability.
After watching for a while, he walked into the living room from seven or eight meters away and started playing on the computer, glancing at yesterday's comments.
It seems various platform marketing accounts have driven traffic, surprisingly reaching 3.81 million views, becoming the first in terms of views on the entire video site recently.
A few people also sent private messages seeking authorization, and Li Qing shaved off some wool again, earning over ten thousand bucks.
"Not bad."
Seeing he had nothing to do right now, Li Qing took advantage of the momentum to screenshot the serene and beautiful ocean city from last night for ten minutes.
As for the ongoing war?
Not uploading that, it's better to keep a low profile.
[A day in the underwater city R'lyeh, awakening Cthulhu!]
The video cover was another beautiful image of the underwater city, with a line of text:
[Working like mad! Spent 191 hours refining frame by frame, century's mythical sea bottom city R'lyeh animation!]
And clicking on the video, there was another description lamenting:
[Sob sob sob, worked so hard for this video that my hair is all gone. In this era dominated by marketing accounts, everyone is copying, I'm exhausted, just collapse, this is probably the last video.]
[High resolution video can't be uploaded, leave a link pinned in the comments for self-retrieval.]
Click upload.
This probably really is the last video.
Li Qing originally planned to make quick money, now this video will probably not yield a low profit, the two videos should be enough for his temporary expenses, worry about money later.
After he posted the video, someone quickly clicked in.
And comments started pouring in swiftly.
[Sob sob sob, don't! Is this the ripple from a master? Don't! It's all the fault of those marketing accounts!]
[Mom! You beast worked like mad for nearly two hundred hours again? Do you have two hundred hours in a day?]
[Not necessarily, the master is obviously a team, each person a few hours, combined reaching two hundred hours, and the scene I watched, still the same city aerial view, absolutely amazing! Still the daily life of Sea Race civilians, even the camera positions haven't changed, the second video production difficulty has decreased significantly.]
[Stop joking, this master is obviously making a statement, definitely seeking a sponsor, surely some sponsors have approached now, hence he's not making videos anymore.]
A bunch of people went on analyzing, thinking this exquisite and beautiful CG technology is too cool, surely someone has already invested.
Yet, they couldn't think that
someone really just wanted to make quick cash, make an emergency and then close up, the type of dead lazybones.
Some people analyzed the video.
[Master is amazing, this city compared to the last one, many buildings have changed, looks like several years have passed on the timeline, even some residents' appearances have changed, but neighborly relations are the same.]
[Yes, that mysterious high tower, it has already reached eight floors high, this surely must be a few years later.]
Last night, the Tower of Babel was indeed eight floors high; this morning it was already twenty and still increasing.
[Whoa, why does this tower look so much like the classical style towers of Hua Country, this with Cthulhu's R'lyeh is so incongruous.]
[Indeed, incongruous, this tower clearly has some kind of deep meaning, isn't it about R'lyeh, perhaps this high tower is reviving or sealing this Cthulhu evil god!]
A group of analysis experts were theorizing.
[Wait, did you say this high tower is reviving Cthulhu? Then maybe it really is this shape!
In the West, this shaped classical tower also wouldn't be incongruous!
Don't you disbelieve, do you know where Hua country's octagonal pavilion-style tower came from?
Some data suggest, the prototype of this kind of tower was built by ancient people according to the human spine, aligning with a type of human body aesthetic. Look at the tower in the video, doesn't it seem a bit like a human spine struck into the ground?]
Li Qing was stunned.
Human spine?
This towering section-by-section white Babel Tower does indeed resemble that. Such a giant spine means creating humans, huh?
They, a bunch of primitive and backward creatures, were still playing with low-level fishes, where did the leap in civilization grade come from, having advanced human gene plans to build this?
Li Qing suddenly thought of a certain possibility.
Ning Guochang had lived inside for so long, they have human genetic plans...
[The human spine has twenty-six layers, if this high tower has twenty-six layers, then it's really a spine, the production team is genius!
This city aerial view, civilians coming and going, although there's no story told on the surface, there's actually a main storyline behind the scenes,
R'lyeh's Cthulhu, great ancient gods are awakening in this city! Don't stop updating now, look forward to the next episode of ancient gods awakening! R'lyeh city in chaos!]
"I just casually post a small video, they can still guess this, impressive." Li Qing put down the computer.
He glanced into the distance.
Discovered that the entire Royal City's Tower of Babel has already reached twenty-five layers, seeming as if the final twentieth-sixth layer of the spine is about to appear.
