Infinite Survival: The winner takes all!

A moment later, just as Shi Jiangshan was about to speak, the door of the conference hall was suddenly knocked urgently. He had to swallow the words that were on the tip of his tongue, and then ordered in a deep voice: "Come in."

The gate opened quickly, and a soldier with an anxious look walked in quickly, "Marshal, urgent battle report, the Twin Fortress has been lost, and the defending general Tu Yangfeng and more than 16,000 soldiers have all died in the battle."

"Currently, this demon army has joined forces with the demon troops that captured Tianlao Pass, and they are working together to encircle Blood City."

When the people in the hall heard the news, they were a little surprised at first, but they soon calmed down.

After all, even Tianlao Pass had been lost, so the fall of the Twin Fortresses was not unexpected.

"I understand. You go down first." Shi Jiangshan waved to the soldier who delivered the message.

There was deathly silence in the hall, and the atmosphere was frighteningly solemn.

Everyone was silent, all eyes were focused on Shi Jiangshan, as if waiting for him to make the final decision.

One of the important reasons is that Shi Jiangshan’s youngest daughter is a summoner. Can he be so hard-hearted as to do this?

Shi Jiangshan did not hesitate for long, his face became firm in an instant.

After looking around, he announced in a cold voice: "Immediately call all summoners in the alliance to officially launch the 'Sacrificial Spirit' plan. Even if it means summoning monsters that we cannot control, the worst that can happen is that we will all perish together!"

As his words fell, a series of emergency orders were quickly issued from the alliance headquarters and transmitted to various troops.

Among the troops that received the notice, many middle and lower-level soldiers were confused and dissatisfied with such orders.

Summoners are extremely valuable combat forces, and their number in each army is quite limited.

Now, the alliance is planning to withdraw all of them. What is it going to do?

However, the commanders in the troops and the summoners who received the orders were quite calm, as if they already knew what was going to happen.

One day later, more than five hundred summoners gathered around the giant altar.

In the center of the altar stands a nearly fifty-meter-high black wooden tower.

The tower is carved with densely packed mysterious runes, exuding an ancient and mysterious atmosphere.

Once upon a time, countless children tried to awaken the summoner's ability here, hoping to summon elemental creatures from other worlds to assist in battle through this black wooden tower.

And now, humanity is shrouded in the shadow of death and faces the threat of extinction.

These summoners stood up without hesitation. They were ready to sacrifice their lives and souls. Through ancient rituals, they summoned the most powerful elemental creatures to win a glimmer of hope for humanity.

Among the dense crowd around, many people were in tears, unable to control their emotions.

Because those who participated in this sacrifice included their loved ones, their children, parents, spouses...

Shi Jiangshan's gaze was fixed on a girl who looked to be less than fourteen years old. His eyes were full of reluctance and struggle.

The young figures sitting around the altar seemed so helpless yet brave in the face of the cruel fate they were about to face.

As if she felt Shi Jiangshan's gaze, the girl raised her head and revealed a pure and strong smile.

At this moment, Shi Jiangshan could no longer hold back the tears in his eyes, and they fell like pearls from a broken string.

He used up almost all his strength and shouted in a hoarse voice: "Start!"

The next moment, all the summoners chanted the ancient spell in unison.

Their voices, from low to high, converge into a powerful wave of sound, stirring and echoing in the air.

Some summoners have voices as calm as water, with neither joy nor sorrow.

Some of the voices trembled slightly, inadvertently revealing their inner fear and anxiety.

Others were so passionate that they seemed to want to put all their strength and enthusiasm into this spell.

Some sounds are deep and melodious, like the sounds of ancient bells, echoing in the long river of time.

……

On the towering black wooden tower in the center of the altar, as the summoners' spells echoed, the originally silent and lightless runes suddenly seemed to be injected with the source of life.

They began to glow red and gradually emerged from the dark surface of the black wooden tower like a butterfly emerging from a cocoon.

Each rune is beating as if it has life. They are intertwined in the air, together constructing a pattern that is both mysterious and magnificent, like an ancient star map spread out in the night sky.

At this moment, the summoners' life force was fading at an alarming rate.

Their breath gradually became weaker, as if they were phantoms, and their lives and souls seemed to be ruthlessly stripped away.

Even so, their incantations were even louder, like the roar of thunder, shaking every corner of the world...

Above the black wooden tower, a huge circular rune pattern gradually emerged, emitting a mysterious light.

Then, a huge flaming head slowly emerged, its blazing flames seemed to be able to burn everything.

At the same time, an indescribable terrifying pressure instantly enveloped the entire venue, making people feel suffocated.

Seeing this, the summoners sang the spell with even more frantic enthusiasm. Their voices gathered into a powerful force that soared into the sky like a giant dragon, shocking everyone!

As the gigantic fire elemental creatures slowly emerged, the summoners' auras gradually weakened; their lives and souls were being rapidly consumed by this summoning ritual.

Just when the alien creature had just revealed half of its body, suddenly, a deafening sound of destruction was heard.

The circular rune pattern seemed to be disturbed by some powerful external force and shattered instantly.

At the same time, the fire elemental creatures that had not yet been fully summoned disappeared without a trace at the same moment.

The summoners seemed to have suffered a heavy blow. They vomited blood and fell to the ground powerlessly, their breath as weak as a thread.

The whole scene fell into deathly silence.

Almost everyone was stunned. The summoning they had carried out at the cost of the summoner's life had ended in failure.

After coming to his senses, Shi Jiangshan rushed to the altar, hugged the girl lying on the ground tightly, and asked anxiously: "Xiang'er, how do you feel?"

The girl responded in a weak voice, "Dad, did we...fail?"

Hearing this, Shi Jiangshan felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife. He suppressed the grief in his heart and gently comforted his daughter: "It's okay, it's okay if we fail... We will think of other ways..."

There was a hint of sadness in Shi Xiang'er's eyes that was hard to conceal. She was so exhausted and weak that she could hardly resist the urge to close her eyes.

But at this moment, she caught a glimpse of bright starlight from the corner of her eyes, "Dad, look... there is a shooting star in the sky..."

"Stop talking nonsense and have a good rest." Shi Jiangshan comforted his daughter while looking up at the sky.

However, this glance made him stunned.

Dozens of dazzling rays of light streaked across the sky, shooting towards them like meteors. The brilliant light was amazing.
