#316 - Take the first step!
Wang Jixuan carefully observed the impending battle.
The commander here was Zhang Huanying;
She was actually in charge of logistics and ideological construction.
This also showed that the reserve combat power of the D5 Comprehensive War Zone had already been sent to the battlefield.
Under normal conditions, the standing force of the D5 Comprehensive War Zone could not cope with more than ten King-level Blade Beast groups.
In the past long years, the front line had maintained relative stability, with only six to seven King-level Blade Beasts dormant on the D5 border, and no more than five Terror Mechs being prepared by humans at the same time.
But now;
There were a total of sixteen King-level Blade Beasts attacking the entire front line of the D5 Comprehensive War Zone!
There were still seven King-level Blade Beasts leading their groups on the way to the D5 Comprehensive War Zone.
This was the pressure that D5 was under;
The D5 battle was actually just a corner of the entire human front.
This directly led to a problem.
The number of active Terror Mechs in D5 was insufficient, and the Terror Mechs being maintained were being assembled as quickly as possible, but it would take several hours or even dozens of hours before they could be put into the battlefield.
Some of the attacking King-level Blade Beasts had no Terror Mechs to deal with;
And because the entire front line needed fire support, the firepower that each King-level Blade Beast group could receive was also quite limited.
That was why the front line was constantly being pushed back;
The seven outermost military fortresses that D5 had built over the years were under immense pressure.
Just like now.
Outside the military fortress where Wang Jixuan had just arrived, the Blade Beast group was constantly advancing.
He hid in the high altitude and did not contact the command system here.
The human military's firepower defense line had been continuously breached, and in the eyes of the Blade Beasts, the ground part of the military fortress was faintly visible.
The constant explosions underground proved that a large number of Blade Beasts were also advancing underground, and the minefields that humans had operated for many years were hindering their progress.
Streaks of meteor showers constantly fell from the sky;
The Blade Beast group was blasted open, leaving blank areas, and then the blank areas quickly reunited.
A 'Death Flower' King-level Blade Beast, more than 300 meters long, with a slender body, covered with blade limbs, and a huge mouth at the front, fearlessly led a large number of Blade Beasts to advance forward, ignoring these insignificant human offensives.
It had a large number of newborn Blade Beast exoskeletons on its body.
The surrounding Blade Beast group had changed from a high-level Blade Beast group to a mid-level Blade Beast group.
In the area that the Blade Beast group had passed through, there were seven or eight shallow giant pits.
Those were the shallow scars left on the earth after the explosion of thermonuclear bombs.
They were still approaching the military fortress in front;
In the darkness, there seemed to be countless Blade Beasts, constantly filling the empty spaces beside the King-level Blade Beast.
The Sixth Pillar's encounter made all the King-level Blade Beasts afraid to easily leave their subordinates.
……
'So, how should we solve this King Beast now?'
Zhang Huanying, the former Chief of Staff, the female Demi-Mech who was the first to be 'resurrected' by He Yuan Dan, was controlling a 50-meter-class Sub-Terror Mech.
She stared at the radar map in front of her.
There was a large area of red dots on the radar map, and a huge red polygonal pattern in the center of the red dots.
She kept thinking.
Thanks to the Seven Star Sword Formation joint attack technology provided by Black Storm, they now had the possibility of confronting King-level Blade Beasts at a small cost.
There were two groups, a total of sixteen exclusive Mechs, waiting here.
But the current problem was, how could they tear apart the Blade Beast protection layer around the King-level Blade Beast…
Only by forming a certain blank area around the King-level Blade Beast could these two groups of Demi-Mechs move forward to consume and seriously injure the King-level Blade Beast.
The number of nuclear bombs was somewhat insufficient;
The storage of weapon-grade nuclear materials was not abundant.
Zhang Huanying thought worriedly.
The King-level Blade Beast was getting closer and closer to the military fortress, and from here on, it would radiate three industrial fortresses and one agricultural fortress, with a total population of 2.75 million.
Because the fortresses were almost full, it was very difficult to transfer personnel.
And more Blade Beasts, even more King-level Blade Beasts, were still pouring towards here.
There were no reinforcements behind the humans;
Zhang Huanying could only prepare to shrink the front line.
"Prepare the suicide squad, prepare the mechanical legion. When our soldiers' death rate exceeds 40%, fully activate the mechanical legion."
Zhang Huanying issued this order.
Why not directly activate the mechanical legion?
First, this was also their reserve resource, a trump card against the Blade Beasts. Replenishing it after consumption would cost huge resources.
Second, the mechanical legion was risky and might brew tomorrow's disaster.
But now, they had to live until tomorrow.
Rumble…
A series of explosions appeared on the ground, another wave of firepower poured down.
Zhang Huanying stared at the radar screen in front of her, her brain thinking rapidly.
After the explosion, the darkness seemed to fall into silence again.
On the riddled earth, Blade Beasts were marching at top speed.
The soldiers waited quietly in their combat suits, waiting for their commander's roar, waiting for the heavy firepower in their hands to spew out flames, to tear apart the Blade Beasts' solid exoskeletons.
A green light curtain appeared in the darkness;
Those were countless green light spots, not very fast, but densely packed, flying towards the human defense line outside the military fortress.
The high-level Blade Beasts launched a long-range attack first!
Brightly colored plasma shields appeared on the human defense line.
The warriors continued to wait, because they had to save firepower to deal with the subsequent continuous Blade Beast tide.
Closer;
Very close;
When the forefront of the Blade Beast group was only 900 meters away, the Blade Beasts curled up into the shape of wheels and began to accelerate forward!
"Fire."
Zhang Huanying's order was delivered synchronously.
Wang Jixuan looked down…
The night was illuminated by the suddenly appearing fire line!
Countless cheap heavy firepower - large-caliber artillery, multi-barreled rocket launchers that did not require precision guidance - roared angrily.
Those high-end weapons that required high-standard energy storage equipment to supply power - plasma cannons, laser weapons - locked onto the key points of those General-level and Sub-King-level Blade Beasts for precise strikes.
Blade Beasts were torn to pieces in patches!
The average distance between the Blade Beast group and the human front line was constantly decreasing!
The huge Blade Beasts shone brightly, and a dense spiritual energy formed a shield.
The night was illuminated by flares;
The King-level Blade Beast released a powerful mental shock, and a gap appeared in the front line, but the mechanical bodies lurking in the rear trenches quickly poured into the gap, exerting their advantage of being fearless of mental shock.
Giant earthworms suddenly drilled out from the ground. These earthworms had exhausted their energy and still used their huge bodies to press against the human front line.
The battlefield was close to white-hot.
Humans began to use special incendiary bombs that consumed more resources but had outstanding effects.
The suicide squad began to突击 (tūjī - assault).
Thousands of Special Operations Team soldiers controlled powered armor, covering hundreds of firepower Mechs to counter-charge the Blade Beast group, and two groups of 'Demi-Mech Sword Formation' members were mixed among them.
Human firepower tilted towards their path ahead and to the left and right;
Zhang Huanying controlled a Sub-Terror Mech and had arrived behind these firepower Mechs, exerting the Mech's powerful firepower.
Could this charge achieve results?
Even Zhang Huanying, who had experienced many battles, was not sure.
But she was willing to believe in these young people, just like her former commander, willing to believe in her and Fu Jian…
Suddenly!
A strange roar appeared in the air, and a dark cloud appeared in the starry sky.
"Pterodactyl group!"
"Air raid! Air raid!"
"Damn it! Why didn't our radar detect this group of Pterodactyls! Quickly organize anti-aircraft firepower!"
Zhang Huanying listened to the shouts of the command system, ignoring the noise of these middle-aged generals, and quickly issued instructions one by one.
Anti-aircraft missiles rose from the ground;
Rapid-fire cannons spewed out dazzling fire lines;
The numerous Pterodactyl groups fearlessly crashed into the ground's firepower Mech group despite the firepower bombardment!
Zhang Huanying knew that she could not issue an order to retreat the suicide squad at this moment. Most of the firepower Mechs could not turn sharply when charging forward and did not have high agility.
Now, she could only rely on the soldiers' self-performance.
The latest novels are first published at Liu Jiu Shu Ba!
The Demi-Mech exclusive Mechs mixed in the firepower Mech group stood out!
The energy of the Destruction Cannon was released in advance, and a series of explosions appeared in the air, and the forward speed of the assault group quickly declined.
'Let them retreat to recharge.'
Zhang Huanying had just come up with this idea, and before she could issue the order, only one or two seconds had passed.
"Gu -"
A low鸣叫 (míngjiào - chirping) suddenly came from mid-air.
The Blade Beasts in the core area of the battlefield almost simultaneously paused their movements, and some 'confused' Blade Beasts were born around the King-level Blade Beast.
In the air, a faint golden shock wave slowly rippled through.
A figure appeared there, small, thin, but wrapped in golden light, with a bright golden halo behind it.
Zhang Huanying quickly zoomed in on the projection screen in front of her and saw the figure of the suddenly appearing young man clearly.
Buddha Hall Squad, Wu Man.
Why was he here?
Just as Zhang Huanying was about to speak, a familiar voice had already sounded in her heart:
"Cooperate with me, try to weaken the enemies around the King-level Blade Beast as much as possible. Use any firepower you have now, and don't bomb the back area of the King-level Blade Beast for now."
Wang Zheng!
She didn't have time to think about why this key figure, who should have been staying in the rear, would appear in the most difficult area of the front-line battlefield.
Zhang Huanying quickly issued the order according to Wang Jixuan's request, ordering the assault team to fight to the death, and she herself controlled the Sub-Terror Mech to run wildly forward.
A hint of madness appeared in the eyes of the white-haired old woman.
Full assault team, charge with all speed!
Gugu sounds constantly echoed from the air, the chanting seemingly becoming the background noise to the gugu sounds.
Massive chaos erupted within the Blade Beast swarm at the heart of the battlefield. The Blade Beasts collided with each other, wavering between advancing and retreating. The Terrorwings in the air suddenly changed direction, diving straight down towards the King-Tier Blade Beast.
At that very moment!
A black蛟 dragon suddenly burst from the clouds, silently plunging into the midst of the Terrorwings.
The figure encased within the 蛟 dragon was none other than Wang Jixuan's battle puppet!
A Terrorwing noticed the black 蛟 dragon and abruptly flapped its bone wings, only to strike empty air.
The figure inside the black 蛟 dragon darted horizontally again, gripping a long spear in both hands. With no fancy movements, it thrust the spear forward. The black 蛟 dragon's body almost completely enveloped the Terrorwing, and the spear had already pierced the Terrorwing's neck, shattering the High-Tier Terrorwing's core as easily as piercing rice paper!
This was the power of a Low-Tier magic treasure!
Wang Jixuan used the long spear to hold up the Terrorwing's corpse. A cyan light flickered around him as he accelerated his descent from the sky, slamming into the outer edge of the Blade Beast swarm covering the King-Tier Blade Beast's back before the other Terrorwings could react, unleashing a black shockwave.
A large number of Blade Beasts were sent flying!
The King-Tier Blade Beast suddenly shook its body, its back lashing like a scorpion's tail stinger towards the black 蛟 dragon.
In an instant, the black 蛟 dragon returned to the battle puppet's body. Wang Jixuan's figure transformed into a ball of lightning, crashing into the area with the densest concentration of Blade Beasts on the King-Tier Blade Beast's back.
That was the area closest to the King-Tier Blade Beast's core.
Wherever the lightning passed, the bodies of High-Tier Blade Beasts were torn to pieces!
The spear's momentum was like a dragon, the battle swift as the wind!
Hiss—
Suddenly, a dense green mist spewed out from all over the King-Tier Blade Beast's body.
Wang Jixuan's spiritual sense flared wildly, and the battle puppet leaped up!
A wisp of the dense mist almost grazed the edge of his battle puppet's hand. His skin suddenly felt a stinging pain, and a burn-like hole appeared in the full-coverage armor!
The Middle and High-Tier Blade Beasts surrounding the King-Tier Blade Beast all suffered. The astonishing corrosiveness of the green mist left them without even bones.
Daoist Priest's anger flared. He flung the long spear downwards and gripped a Low-Tier magic treasure long sword in his left hand, his figure spinning in mid-air.
“Electro-Mother, Thunder-Duke, descend your divine power, slay demons and eliminate evil, boom boom boom boom boom!”
Crack!
Dozens of lightning bolts crashed down from the sky, shattering the green mist into pieces. The King-Tier Blade Beast's massive body trembled slightly.
This was the Five Thunders Righteous Method.
The lightning magic of the Golden Core Realm could already inflict damage on the King-Tier Blade Beast, but the extent of the damage was clearly not high.
Wang Jixuan's battle puppet directly plunged into the gap in the mist, chasing after the long spear he had thrown. Electric light shone from his arms and back simultaneously, his eyes filled with a cyan glow!
Penetrate!
The long spear was completely buried in the King-Tier Blade Beast's back!
If it were just this level of cold weapon attack, the King-Tier Blade Beast would probably only feel a slight sting.
But at this moment, Wang Jixuan was only trying to get the tip of the spear as close as possible to the King-Tier Blade Beast's core.
He couldn't abandon the move that had worked against the Pillar Blade Beast, could he?
The long spear stirred fiercely!
Five Elements Escape Technique, Metal Escape!
Wang Jixuan's battle puppet drilled in from the spear's tail, flew out from the spear's tip, and burrowed into the King-Tier Blade Beast's body, immersed in the viscous green flesh.
He endured the nausea and a black light emerged from between his eyebrows, a jet-black 蛟 dragon charging towards the core below.
Compared to spirit energy and magic power, the total amount of magic power in his battle puppet wasn't even a hair compared to the total amount of spirit energy in the King-Tier Blade Beast's body.
—This thing was huge and had high energy storage.
After plundering soul power from the Gates of Hell twice last time, how powerful was his current alien soul!
The Blade Beast's weakness lay in its soul!
The black 蛟 dragon instantly arrived before the King-Tier core. A dazzling light appeared on the core, and a dark shadow hid inside, constantly roaring at Wang Jixuan.
Faced with this kind of soul attack, it could only passively defend.
Boom!
The black 蛟 dragon collided head-on with the King-Tier core!
The King-Tier Blade Beast's massive body convulsed, its knife limbs, arranged like bamboo joint worms, flailing wildly. A highly corrosive mist constantly spewed out from its body, preventing the Blade Beast swarm, which had already suffered heavy firepower, from approaching.
Wang Jixuan almost burst out laughing.
爽! (Refreshing!)
The black 蛟 dragon circled around and began to frantically strike the King-Tier core!
The light membrane gathered around the core trembled continuously, and the visualized Blade Beast soul inside the core began to retreat.
To kill this thing, one had to use unorthodox methods!
Suddenly, the light membrane outside the core was torn open by the black 蛟 dragon's claw. The incomparably rich spirit energy around it didn't have time to condense into a light membrane to resist the soul impact.
The black 蛟 dragon directly plunged inside.
Dragon Python Devouring the Heavens!
The King-Tier Blade Beast's soul was swallowed by the black 蛟 dragon in one gulp!
Wang Jixuan suddenly felt that something was wrong. He had gone too crazy. He had come to lure the King-Tier Blade Beast, but he had directly swallowed the King-Tier Blade Beast's soul.
Before he could think of a way to make amends, his forehead suddenly throbbed with pain. Streams of fragmented memories frantically assaulted his alien soul, and the black 蛟 dragon almost collapsed.
Damn, backlash.
This move really wasn't to be used casually.
Since he had already done it, he would see it through to the end!
Wang Jixuan fully activated the Dragon Python Devouring the Heavens Technique. Although the total amount of magic power in the battle puppet's Golden Core Realm couldn't compare to the total amount of magic power in the King-Tier Blade Beast's body, all of this magic power could be used.
As for the King-Tier Blade Beast's soul…
This was like a warship. The energy of the weapon system could only be called upon by the warship's captain, but the captain couldn't transform that energy into something they could use themselves.
At this moment, Wang Jixuan was using the battle puppet's magic power to desperately refine the Blade Beast's soul!
