A rain of blood falls from the sky, the apocalypse descends, mountains and rivers change color, and demons run rampant. Civilization collapses, order is chaotic, and survivors desperately try to fi...
Hejia Star.
Xiaoman has successfully crossed the enemy's lines and reached the rear.
"Many places resemble enemy artillery positions; which one is the real one?"
Places that might be considered heavy artillery positions kept flashing through my mind, but they were all ultimately rejected.
Taking a deep breath of the cool air, she felt relaxed and her mind and body relaxed. As she recalled the places she had visited, a most inconspicuous spot caught her attention.
“If I were the enemy’s heavy artillery commander, I would never place it where others can see it.” His gaze moved slowly, finally settling on the most conspicuous spot. “What is false is true, and what is true is false. This person’s understanding of military strategy far surpasses that of ordinary strategists.”
Slowly approaching.
Suddenly, there was a slight movement in the shadows.
As a high-level assassin, Xiaoman could not escape her notice at all, and she patiently waited in place.
A dozen minutes later, something else moved.
"This is indeed the enemy's heavy artillery position."
They searched even more carefully for possible hiding places...
More than half an hour passed, and the surrounding situation was thoroughly understood. He slowly looked up at the sky and thought, "There's still about an hour until dark. If we wait until it gets dark before making our move, we'll have a better chance of success."
Wait quietly.
As dusk fell, a small group of about a hundred people approached from afar, chatting and laughing.
"Commander is really something, to think of such a method." Soldier A.
“Who says otherwise?” Soldier B laughed loudly.
The team had approached the hidden sentry post. "Brothers, you've worked hard."
One by one, a hundred sentries rose up from the shadows.
Xiaoman was immediately alarmed. "Luckily we didn't make a move. If we had gone there earlier, we could have cleared out at most two-thirds of the sentries before being discovered by the enemy in the core area."
Their defensive switching was very quick, taking less than two minutes to complete.
"Be extra careful tonight." The squad leader had a bad feeling and reminded the squad leader who was taking over the defense.
"Don't worry, it's okay."
What else could he say but leave with his men?
Not long after the group left, the surroundings became unusually quiet, without even the sound of insects chirping.
"A test of patience?" Xiaoman's lips twitched. She leaned against the rock and waited quietly.
A few hours later.
Just as people were most likely to fall asleep, Xiaoman suddenly opened her eyes and crept toward the enemy's hidden sentry.
She moved very quietly, tiptoeing, and approached the enemy without them noticing.
He swiftly pointed two fingers at the sentry.
I wanted to break their necks, but I was afraid of making a noise that would alert them, so I could only put them into a deep sleep.
They moved constantly between different locations and finally eliminated all the hidden sentries.
"Where are the heavy artillery?"
Xiaoman was puzzled and kept searching, discovering that the soil on the left slope was a different color than the soil next to it.
Looking down, he exclaimed in surprise, "No wonder we couldn't find it! They hid the heavy artillery on the ground and only raised it up when they needed to attack."
After searching more carefully, they finally found the mechanism to go down in an inconspicuous place.
"I don't know how many people are down there."
He channeled his inner energy into his ears and leaned down to listen to the sounds coming from the ground.
The area below was unusually quiet.
"Don't turn it on, lest all our efforts be in vain." Xiaoman's mind raced, and she quickly rushed into the shadows, using the enemy's communicator to type a '0'.
When Spartacus's men received it, they couldn't understand it at all and could only report it.
Just then, Maoqiu came to discuss the attack with him and immediately understood the meaning: "Immediately notify the encirclement army to launch a full-scale attack. Fight fiercely and ruthlessly."
"Yes, Your Highness."
The horn of attack resounded throughout the entire planet Hejia.
Flames were shooting into the sky everywhere, and explosions never stopped.
The Elf Commander-in-Chief could wait no longer and ordered, "Heavy artillery! Heavy artillery!"
The hidden door was opened, and a giant cannon barrel over 100 meters tall slowly rose from the ground.
Xiaoman has been waiting for this moment.
He rushed forward at full speed and unleashed his long-prepared Fish Intestine Sword Technique into the enemy ranks.
The scream had barely begun when two even stronger sword energies descended.
Two-thirds of the enemy didn't even know how they died, and the survivors were trembling all over, barely able to hold their weapons.
"Shadow Seven-Kill Combo!"
Seven sword beams crisscrossed and struck the enemy.
When Xiaoman deactivated her invisibility, the ground was littered with severed limbs and blood.
He grabbed the enemy's bomb and took out his own high-explosive shell, throwing it into the base of the heavy artillery.
"I don't know if we can destroy it."
Feeling somewhat worried, he rushed outside, collected the bombs from the hidden sentries, and threw them all into the cannon barrel.
A terrifying force emanated from the cannon barrel, and the bomb was detonated.
The rumbling sound continued.
"We can't stay here any longer."
The assassin used his speed to the fullest and retreated towards safety.
At the same time, the explosion alerted the guards, who all rushed towards the scene.
Both sides were racing against time, but Xiaoman was still a step ahead and had broken out of the core area.
boom!
Rumble!
A giant mushroom cloud rose into the sky, radiating a violent shockwave that instantly turned anything it touched into dust.
Xiaoman quickly sped up, leaving afterimages behind her.
The shockwave was clearly faster than her, and the distance was less than 100 meters.
"Go to the trench ahead."
Having made up his mind, he continued to use the 'God of Slaughter's One-Slash Slash'.
The distance between the two sides widened again.
Xiaoman used her killer moves repeatedly, which greatly depleted her energy; her back was soaked with sweat.
Finally, just before the shockwave hit, he jumped into the trench.
He activated two small protective shields in succession, and then used his internal energy to form an air wall on his body to resist the aftershocks.
Click!
The first layer of protective shield shattered instantly.
Click!
The second protective shield was riddled with cracks.
Xiaoman stared intently at the crack, her heart pounding in her chest. "Hold on, hold on."
The cracks are getting bigger and bigger, but the aftershocks haven't subsided yet.
"Am I really going to die here like this?" He shook his head rapidly. "Absolutely not!"
The will to survive stimulated his dantian, and his internal energy surged out like a tide, forming "Wind Barrier".
The second protective shield shattered, and cracks also appeared on the wind barrier.
"Xiaoman, Tiange and the others are still waiting for you to come back. You can do it! You can do it!"
"Heh ha..."
The roar stimulated his dantian, and the broken parts of the wind barrier were repaired.
Before you could even rejoice, an even stronger aftershock struck, and cracks appeared in many places along the barrier.
"I will never accept my fate."
A strong will to survive stimulated his dantian, and the last bit of internal energy was mobilized to the barrier.
Click, click-click!
It is on the verge of collapse.
A bitter look flashed in his eyes, "Brother Tian, see you in the next life."
Close your eyes and wait to die.
The barrier is broken...
A few seconds later, Xiaoman slowly opened her eyes and was puzzled to find that she was still alive.
With difficulty, he stood up, but out of the corner of his eye, he noticed the Black Fiend Token emanating a terrifying pressure. He carefully picked it up, saying, "I never expected that you would save my life."
The Black Fiend Commander buzzed, as if in response.
Xiaoman smiled and put it away...
at the same time.
The army of the Chihun Empire is already engaged in battle with the enemy.
The elves, having lost the threat of heavy artillery, suffered a series of defeats.
"The Hemudu people are everywhere. How can we fight them? How can we fight them?" asked the Western Front Commander.
"The three leaders, you will all die a horrible death!" said the Eastern Front Commander.
"You pig-like emperor, I was truly blind to follow someone like you, ah..." - Southern Front Commander.
The only one who remained calm was the commander on the northern front.
"Notify the dragon riders to ambush the enemy at the cliff. I will lure them here."
"General, you mustn't." His trusted aide's eyes were red.
"Do you think we'll have any chance of survival after the Hemudu people conquer Hejia Star?" The commander of the northern front had a resolute look in his eyes as he bowed towards the direction of the Elven Empire's palace. "Your Majesty, no matter what others say, you are irreplaceable in my heart."
He sighed, "Prepare for the final battle. Even if we die, we will cripple the main force of Hemudu."
"Yes, General."
The soldiers on the northern front were staunch supporters of the Elven Empire. When the order was given, they were not afraid at all; in fact, they were somewhat expectant.
Soon, a large army appeared to attack the northern front.
They feigned a series of defeats and retreated towards the highest mountain.
The Chihun army, already bloodthirsty, never expected the enemy to have a backup plan and stuck with them relentlessly.
Just as they were preparing to annihilate the small group of fleeing enemy, a dark mass of dragon riders rushed out of the mountains and began to slaughter the Chihun army.
"Don't panic, don't panic." Sevier remained calm as he charged towards the towering dragon knight.
His men quickly regained their footing and engaged the dragon riders in fierce combat...
at the same time.
The northern commander's lips curled into a cold smile as he slowly raised his hand. "Energy arrows, prepare."
Countless archers drew their longbows to their full extent.
"put!"
A barrage of energy arrows enveloped both sides.
"Ah, pfft..."
"These damned beasts don't even care about their own people anymore, damn it."
“What’s the use of cursing?” Severn cut down two dragon riders and looked at his confidant. “Take men and break through the enemy archers. Go now.”
"Yes, sir." The confidant's expression was grave as he pointed to the people nearby. "You all come with me."
After they left the battlefield, the pressure on Severn and the others suddenly increased.
Fortunately, everyone was a seasoned veteran, and they managed to dodge the two waves of arrows without serious injury.
The northern commander's lips twitched, and he drew his long sword. "Now it's our turn to fight to the death, brothers, charge!"
"Kill! Kill!"
As soon as the elven warriors charged out, a swift sword beam swept across, instantly slicing hundreds of people in half at the waist.
The sword's edge hadn't weakened much and was still advancing forward.
All around were wails and screams.
The northern commander quickly retreated, and as soon as he opened his mouth, a chill ran down his spine.
A cold, stern face came into view.
He gripped the longsword that had pierced through his body tightly, his expression complex. "Even if I die, I'll drag you all down with me, ha ha!"
A jet-black aura surged from his body.
"The Ghost Beast Clan?" The newcomer was none other than Maoqiu.
"It's good that you know each other." The northern commander roared, his face contorted with rage, "Use the forbidden."
Upon hearing this, the elven warrior immediately broke free from his opponent and swallowed a jet-black pill.
Instantly, an evil aura enveloped the area within a radius of tens of kilometers.
The eerie roar of the beast sent chills down one's spine.
Maoqiu frowned slightly. "You think I can't do anything to you just like that?"
The longsword spun rapidly, soaring into the air.
Countless sword beams appeared around it, charging towards the enemy horde...
