Even Urdia and Melti who were on the side nodded slightly.
Agree with this statement.
"Okay, these things are too complicated to get entangled. Let's go and talk with everyone first." Urdia said aloud.
Everyone also nodded.
"Speaking of which, it seems that we will reach zero soon." Xue Nai said, looking at the clock tower not far away.
"After zero o'clock, it will be July 7th...the day when destiny meets..." Future Lucy murmured softly.
Happy on the side also raised his head, looking at the moonlight that had become extremely weird.
I don't know why, but a trace of uneasiness flashed in my heart.
"July 7th..." Lucy, who murmured the time, stopped abruptly.
"July 7th...the reason...the gate of the eclipse..."
Everyone stopped and looked at Lucy who seemed to be in a daze.
Can't help but be full of doubts.
"Lord Lucy... what's wrong?" Yukino asked.
And under the gaze of everyone, Lucy's dull face turned into eagerness in the next moment!
"No! No!!"
"You must not open that door!!"
The terrified tone made Lucy's voice sharp.
"The opening of the solar eclipse gate must be prevented!"
She looked at the people in front of her in horror: "We must hurry to the direction of the palace, and we must prevent the eclipse gate from opening!!"

Clang—clang—clang—
As the time came to 12 o'clock, it was located in the huge clock tower in the center of Kulocas Town.
The bell that symbolizes the arrival of a new day is ringing on time.
It also spread to the entire town of Kulocas.
At this moment, above the central square of Kulocas.
"Is it July 7th..." Wendy raised her head slightly after hearing the bell.
As if thinking of something, his tone became lighter.
"I remember... your dragon disappeared on July 7th, right?" Leby looked at Gajeel beside her and asked.
Gajeel took a slight breath and murmured, "Did the dragon choose to appear on this day?"
Luo Xingchen hugged his hands on the side, and the weird moon that was gradually covered in blood red also attracted his attention.
"The solar eclipse has already begun..." he murmured softly.
Chapter 529: The Door Opened, Despair Comes!
At this moment, Makarov looked at the people beside him, and began to issue combat orders.
"We, Fairy Tail, are responsible for guarding this central square."
"Where are the guys from the rest of the guild?" Juvia looked around, and found that there were only queens from her own guild left.
Can't help but ask aloud.
"They're on standby elsewhere in the town." Responding to her was Mira~Jie with her hands on her hips and a serious face.
On the other side, Makarov continued to give orders-.
He looked at Gajiru, Laxus and Luo Xingchen in front of him.
All three are people who can use dragon slayer magic.
Therefore, it will undoubtedly become a crucial point in this battle.
"For a while, the stars, Gajeel and Laxus will be the main offensive force."
To this, Luo Xingchen and the others did not refute.
Gently nodded.
Seeing this, Makarov turned his gaze to the rest of the people, and continued:
"Other people's magic can't cause intuitive damage to the dragon, so the task of the rest of the people is to assist the containment and create opportunities for Xingchen and the others."
"Also, Xingchen and the others will work hard to destroy the dragon's scales. Once such a situation occurs, then gather everyone's strength to besiege a point."
"Understood!" Everyone echoed.
"Fried, what's wrong with the arrangement of the spell?" Makarov looked at Fried who was at the side again and asked.
"Thanks to the assistance of Rebby and Eba Green, most of the towns are now equipped with defensive spells." Fried responded.
Seeing this, Makarov nodded slightly.
Then he looked at Mebis again: "The first generation, do you have any other explanations?"
"Not for the time being, after all...we don't know how many dragons will appear, and we don't know the strength of these dragons that appear." Mebis said.
"So, this is already the limit of what we can do."
Raising her green eyes, she looked at the sky above her head.
The originally bright moon has been completely occupied by scarlet.
"I just hope... there won't be a dragon of the Dragon King level..." she murmured softly.
"A dragon of the Dragon King level..." Luo Xingchen slightly narrowed his eyes.
There is no doubt that Akunologia is definitely a dragon of the Dragon King level.
Also, when I was in the Aoyu Empire in the Eastern Continent, I met a combination of a dragon and a god.
The strength of that dragon is infinitely approaching the level of the Dragon King.
"I don't know... Can I fight against the Dragon King now?"
Such questions began to appear in Luo Xingchen's mind.
As for the answer... Maybe even Luo Xingchen himself doesn't know.
"Xingchen, Xingchen, can you hear me?" At this moment, Uludia's voice suddenly rang into Luo Xingchen's mind.
Putting his **** together in doubt and placing them on the side of his head, Luo Xingchen asked:
"Can you hear me, what happened, Tia?"
"I didn't know what happened just now, but Lucy suddenly said that she would absolutely prevent the kingdom from opening the eclipse gate, and then hurriedly headed towards the palace."
"Xue Nai, Future Lucy and Happy are all chasing her."
"It's inconvenient for Melti and I to appear in that place, but we are worried about Lucy's safety, so we need your support." Urdia said very quickly.
Hearing these remarks, Luo Xingchen nodded slightly,
"Okay, I understand." After agreeing, Luo Xingchen hung up the Nianhua communication.
Although I wondered what happened to Lucy to want to close the door,
But you can't let it go.
After all, if there is a conflict with the kingdom, Lucy will definitely be in danger.
However, considering the reason for the next combat mission...
Luo Xingchen looked at Milaj and Wendy.
—————
Palace of Lanterns, Meruklias.
Countless heavily armed soldiers gathered here.
Their eyes were all fixed on the slowly opened door.
It was the huge eclipse gate that had been brought up from the ground of the palace before.
Because the preparation time for the eclipse cannon is too long, the kingdom needs to open the door first.
Otherwise, it will be too late when the dragons attack and prepare.
The slowly opened door exuded a pure white light at this moment.
It's impossible to see what's inside.
But feeling the huge magic power seeping out from the gate.
But it still made the soldiers cheer at this moment.
"Look!"
"The door of hope for mankind is about to open!"
"The door to victory is about to open!"
Although everyone was cheering, they did not relax their vigilance.
The observation towers standing all around are still watching the entire Kulocas town in all directions.
Be on the lookout... for the arrival of the herd of ten thousand dragons.
And everyone firmly believed that the huge magic power stored in that gate could eliminate those giant dragons in one blow.
And just when the door is about to be fully opened.
The shouts in the distance instantly stimulated the nerves of everyone present.
"Can't open the door!!"
"Close the door quickly!!"
It was a cry that was almost broken, attracting everyone's attention.
Countless soldiers swarmed up and surrounded,
···Ask for flowers····
Surrounded Lucy, Yukino and others who were chasing from behind.
"Stop it, absolutely don't open that door!" Lucy yelled, pointing at the opening door.
The soldiers surrounding the crowd gave way.
Accompanied by Arcadios, Jade stepped up and looked directly into Lucy's eyes.
"Although I don't know why you said that, the door must never be closed."
"This is the only weapon we use to fight against a large number of dragons. If we close the gate now, we won't be able to fire the eclipse cannon." Emerald said seriously.
"There is no eclipse cannon at all!" Lucy refuted Jade's words loudly.
She pointed to the eclipse door and said anxiously:
"That's a door, a door connecting time!"
"The eclipse cannon is the one that can release the magic power accumulated in the eclipse gate!" Jade responded not to be outdone.
…
"There is no such thing at all, it is not a weapon at all." Lucy said anxiously.
"Please pay attention to your attitude, you are facing the princess of the whole kingdom."
Lucy's tone made Arcadios a little displeased, and said with a slight frown.
Lucy ignored Arcadios' words.
