Chapter 125: News of the Reversal of the Battle
The "Ancient Battlefield" is also known as the "Opening Battle". It is a battle for resources after each new world is opened.
From the first-level world to the current fifth-level world, the name of each battlefield is different, but the main point remains the same: the victorious side will gain 1/10 of the planet's fertile land, while the losing side will lose the same amount of planetary area.
The land resources obtained by the victorious side are special, and after mining, they can be used to refine equipment and weapons to challenge the world.
The aircraft, attack weapons, scientific research and military equipment, and other advanced equipment commonly used by the Daxia Legion are all made of special materials.
It is said that the dark beasts do not have the ability to mine, so the special resources they obtain are some animals and plants with special bloodlines, which can stimulate the increase of bloodline strength after eating.
These resources are important to both competing parties.
Even if it is not important, it is something that you must fight for and cannot give up. As one gains, the other loses, and you must never give it to the other.
"Ancient Battlefield" is the fifth resource opening battle.
Before this, humans won the first and third games respectively, and these resources did allow human technology to take off significantly.
The most regrettable thing is that the humans from Blue Star did not win the fourth game.
The delay in opening the fifth-level world caused humans to remain at the fourth level for more than three years. These three years were also three years of defeat. It was also three years of watching the dark beasts grow stronger through resource points, from being evenly matched to clearly dominating humans.
Human beings are both afraid of and eager to open up a new world.
Without the resources from the new world, humans cannot surpass the dark beasts and complete a counterattack. But if the dark beasts are still the winners after the new world is opened, it will be difficult for humans to turn things around at that time.
It’s a pity that whether or not to open up a new world is not something that humans can decide unilaterally.
When the Dark Beast King rose to the fifth level, not only did this shocking news spread throughout the two worlds, but the "Ancient Battlefield" also began at the same time.
At that time, humans who thought they were fully prepared discovered that they were not prepared at all.
If Wei Huan had not taken out the most important upgrade materials, perhaps the situation humanity is facing now would be very different.
But even so, humanity still has a hard time in this tragic "opening battle".
While humans upgraded hastily, the Dark Beast Lord prepared everything before advancing, and in just one month, he owned thousands of fifth-level territories.
These fifth-level territories gathered behind the Dark Beast King, providing a steady stream of combat supplies. Even though humans used many methods, the casualty ratio that had once been widened was still unable to catch up.
Time passed by minute by minute, and there were only five days left before the end of the "opening battle".
On this day, under tremendous pressure, the humans of Blue Star finally united together in an unprecedented way.
The legions from all sides gathered together and finally decided to obey the orders of the supreme commanders of Daxia, Osham and Big Bear.
A long-awaited massive attack was launched on the Dark Beast Territory.
Millions of chariots galloped across the battlefield, led by battlefield leaders, heading to various key nodes to launch roaming attacks on the territory behind the Dark Beast King. They no longer considered winning by a large margin, but only hoped to use this "ant moving" method to catch up with the casualty ratio and achieve a reversal on the last day.
The inability to move is the Dark Beast Lord's biggest weakness.
Once the territory is conquered, it can only be defended in one place. If humans choose to surround it without attacking, over time, the Dark Beast Lord himself will collapse due to lack of supplies.
The Dark Beast Lords are well aware of this weakness, so they will build their territories closely together, and the one on the outermost edge will always be the strongest lord.
The Dark Beast Clan is a group that believes only in bloodline, and the royal family does have the strength and intelligence to suppress all the beasts in the clan.
When it comes to territory management, there is no surprise that the royal family is still the strongest.
That is to say.
In this "opening battle", all the territories on the outermost side are the royal territories.
More than a hundred royal families have reached level 5 and have built at least one "miracle building" in their territory.
Some increase the overall defense of the territory, some increase the attack power of the entire camp, and coupled with the royal family's talent for stimulating the bloodline of the tribe at critical moments, this makes the territory groups faced by humans like turtles, unable to bite.
But no matter how difficult it is, we still have to fight with all our might.
At this moment, humans temporarily suppressed their own little thoughts. The major legions of various countries not only sent out their own powerful teams, but also brought out a batch of... at least those "trump cards" that were named in the meeting.
For example, in the left wing area 1 that Osham was in charge of, after the fearless charge of Osham's soldiers, six seemingly inconspicuous vehicles arrived at the forefront of the battlefield.
Amidst the hail of bullets, a terrifying magical aura gathered in the sky. Everyone looked up and saw that the Gengjin energy gathered above the territory quickly formed a golden spear.
The spear was so huge that it pierced through the sky and the earth, as if it was an attack from the universe. An invisible giant in the sky pierced the planet, and the terrifying momentum even made it impossible to open one's eyes.
In a trance, a shadow appeared in the sky. A white-skinned woman with blonde hair and blue eyes poked her head in from outside the clouds, holding a spear and stabbing it down fiercely!
“Buzz!!”
It collided fiercely with the protective shield above the territory, and the vast earth seemed to tremble violently.
Then the solid protective shield began to break, and the spears drove straight in, piercing into the territory fiercely, causing the earth to shake.
At the same time, the protective shield's final attack converged on the female shadow, and finally scattered the gun-holding hand and turned it into nothingness.
Afterwards, the spear gradually turned into sand and drifted away with the wind.
A cry of pain was heard from one of the cars, and six cars hurriedly withdrew from the front line and soon disappeared.
The battle loss ratio was thus recovered to 1/5.
In addition, fierce fighting is also underway in the right-wing Zone 02, which is jointly managed by the EU and other countries such as Tula.
More than two hundred human figures flew out from more than thirty cars. At a cold glance, they were thought to be the king of soldiers from the [Farmer Sequence].
But when you look more closely, you will find that these steel figures are twice as tall as the Soldier King. Their mechanically built bodies show the aesthetics of steel, and their bodies are as flexible as limbs when flying in the air.
The most important thing is that these mechas and soldiers gathered together, reaching a thousand in number, approaching the dark beast territory from the air, and launching portable missiles outside the attack range of the protective shield.
The dense missiles bombarded the protective shield, and coupled with the Dark Beast Lord's current insufficient "anti-air" defense, this group of mechas actually suffered a full round of damage.
The city's protective shield was successfully destroyed, and the remaining missiles landed inside the city, destroying countless buildings and many civilians.
Then calmly move away.
Although this wave of output is not as strong as that of Osham, it shows the advantages of the sewer profession [Driver].
Mechas can have very powerful thermal weapon combat capabilities.
The most important thing is that at present, when humans are slightly lacking in air combat units, the emergence of mechas fills the gap in air combat.
This moment was shocking, and Tula State successfully "vindicated" the [driver].
It is conceivable that after this battle, how many [pilots] will return to their lives and choose to serve again.
Wei Huan did not see this scene with his own eyes, otherwise he would be surprised to think that there had never been such a moment in his previous life.
It will take more than a year before the importance of drivers is discovered.
But we must also sigh that there are too many smart people in this world.
Moreover, in the face of the power of the country, even useless professions will be cultivated and their advantages will be tapped.
Leaders and researchers from various countries are not stupid.
There is also the summoner army of the Big Bear Country, the magician team of the Fence Country, and the King of War team of Da Xia, which has long been famous all over the world.
Daxia has the "Farmer Professional Training Ground - Battle Tower". The Daxia challengers who can form the King of War Team are all extremely powerful and can fight against a hundred enemies alone.
If the condition of "battle damage" is not taken into consideration, the desperate attack of this group of Martial Kings is enough to give the Dark Beast Lord a hard time.
Blue Star's concerted attack did achieve miraculous results at the beginning.
Each territory was caught off guard and suffered damage, and the casualty ratio between the two sides was rapidly narrowing.
But the Dark Beasts were not pushovers either. Reinforcements from all sides arrived quickly, and after regrouping, a new round of confrontation broke out again.
A battle between evenly matched opponents is not a good thing.
Looking at the combat loss ratio of less than three percentage points, which has not changed for a long time, time is passing by little by little.
This makes humans extremely anxious.
The key is that time is running out.
After continuous fierce fighting, the soldiers on all sides were extremely exhausted.
The generals had not slept for three days.
We really fight for every inch of land and haggle over every penny.
The difficult battle made the eyes of a group of old men and women red.
But at this time, who can really close their eyes and rest?
Looking at the 3-point battle damage value that could not be changed, some generals were so anxious that they even pulled out a lot of hair.
At this moment, even the Non-European Alliance, which was killed by the dark beast and suffered 5 points of combat damage, felt a strong sense of remorse, both its generals and soldiers.
Even though they knew that if they had a chance to do it again, with their combat effectiveness they still wouldn't be able to stop the Dark Beast Legion, it would have been better if they had tried a little harder at that time. At least considering the value of the battle losses, it would have been good to be able to save a comrade.
But now, it's too late.
The closer the settlement gets, the stronger the regret becomes.
Even a small country like the Mulberry Kingdom, which had to rely on others to survive, stopped talking and buried its head in the battle without saying a word.
This is how human beings are. When there are no external enemies, they are always engaged in civil wars.
Only when the knife is at your neck do you remember the benefits of unity.
But it's too late to think about unity now.
At this point in the war, the outcome is no longer determined by one or two cars or one country.
Even for a powerful country like Daxia, in this battle, every attack would take some "flesh" from the opposing royal lord, narrowing the casualty ratio between the two sides.
But this score is too small. The key is that some allied countries may be attacked instead if the attack fails. The score that has been narrowed with great difficulty may become even bigger in the blink of an eye.
After three days of ups and downs, I found that the percentage point was still 3%.
Some older leaders could hardly bear it anymore, and their faces became increasingly gloomy and dark.
After the "Supreme Council" ended, new orders were issued before dawn that day.
The weaker alliance stopped attacking and focused on containment. The real attack was carried out by the three major legions of Osham, Great Bear, and Daxia.
The summoner corps of the Great Bear Country is more like a hunter corps.
These hunters possess super long-range attack capabilities, and when combined with dark beasts like Shuroma and Demon Eye Lord summoned at levels 4 and 5, they are very effective in attacking the territory.
Faced with the aggressive attack of humans, the dark beast chose to wait and see.
The battle is only a few days away from ending. As long as they can hold off a few waves and prevent human attacks from breaking through the city walls, they will win.
The territory that resisted the attack received a steady supply of material support, and the heroic units became just like Wei Huan's undead army, not afraid of death at all.
As soon as the front foot dies, the back foot will be summoned. Even if there is a penalty CD, a large amount of supplies will be used to eliminate it to ensure sufficient combat power on the front line.
The summoned beasts of the Big Bear Country hunters died under the city walls, and blood flowed like a river.
The hunters' long-range bows and arrows rained down with a swish, each strike packing a powerful, eye-popping crit. Blood dripped from the city walls, leaving only a wisp of skin left behind!
At this moment, hundreds of fifth-level two-headed hidden demons suddenly flew out. With full attributes, they were extremely fast and had high attack power. Dozens of them surrounded a fifth-level leader car and attacked frantically regardless of life and death.
Some teammates are rushing to help, some teammates are continuously attacking the city walls, and some are caught in a dilemma.
The battle was fleeting. When we came to our senses, the blood on the city wall was slowly recovering, the leader chariot escaped in a panic, and only five corpses of two-headed hidden demons were left on the ground.
An attack that mobilized all forces, but the recovery rate was less than 0.1.
However, all the hunters' summons were killed and they had to wait for an opportunity to recover.
Such an attack will not happen again in a short period of time.
The Big Bear Legion withdrew and joined forces with Osham, who had lost the Witch Legion, to carry out the cover mission to cover the Daxia Legion's attack.
Daxia was the first country to own level five vehicles, and subsequently it was also the country that collected them the fastest and owned the most level five vehicles.
More than one hundred level five vehicles, acting as spearheads, rushed towards the enemy territory under the leadership of Fang William.
This "knight" turned on his "battle halo", which became an alloy arrow shot towards the enemy, reaching the city with unmatched sharpness.
The war was extremely fierce from the beginning.
This is already a desperate gamble on the part of humanity.
If they continue to win in this way, in the next fifth stage, humans will only be further left behind by the dark beasts until they are completely unable to catch up.
One step slow, every step slow.
It is unimaginable what fate awaits mankind at that time.
“Charge!”
"For Daxia! For humanity!!"
A brutal siege took place at the foot of the city. Daxia's level 5 chariots concentrated their firepower to break through the city walls, which had already been devastated.
The Dark Beast Lords once again sent out their death squads to launch desperate attacks on humans.
A level 5 chariot of Daxia could not bear the heavy load and finally exploded. The exploding fireball was like the roar of purgatory.
At the last moment, a group of people popped out of the chariot. They were the challengers inside the chariot.
There were men, women and old people among them. No matter they were combat professionals or civilians, they all took up weapons to face the overwhelming dark beasts.
Some were torn to pieces, some cried and roared, some were rescued, but more people fell asleep forever with their captain.
The second level five vehicle was besieged again, and its health was gradually falling below the limit. The Dark Beast Lord's wall was still just a little bit short of being able to be broken.
At this time!
A deafening sound rang in my ears.
[Notice! Wei Huan's team slaughtered 100,000 Dark Beasts and killed the Dark Beast King leader "Shi", earning the title of "Dark Beast King Nemesis". The entire team receives a permanent 25% bonus to their attributes!]
【notify……】
【notify……】
The screen was refreshed three times in a row to ensure that no one would miss it, and it resounded throughout the three realms like thunder.
What? A member of the Dark Beast clan died?
No! Wait, killed 100,000 Dark Beasts?
What does Dark Beast King Nemesis mean?
In fact, 100,000 dark beasts are not a lot. The number of dark beasts that died on this battlefield is already more than this.
But if a team does it alone, that’s another matter.
Wei Huan's team! Wei Huan!!
Is there anyone who doesn't know the name Wei Huan? No one!
Almost all humans know that there is a super genius among this year's newcomers. Not only has he awakened an extremely powerful "Gravekeeper" sequence that has never appeared before, he has also played a crucial role in the historical process of mankind's fight against the dark beasts.
He donated the core materials for the fifth-level vehicle, which prevented humans from being overtaken too much by the dark beasts.
If it weren't for him, perhaps humanity would have already failed in this "opening battle"?
But why Wei Huan again? What did Wei Huan do? Why did he get so much publicity for Challenge the World?
A convoy killed 100,000 dark beasts. This is not an exaggeration, but a very terrifying record.
At the same time, he also killed the Dark Beast King.
"Hahaha!"
Fang William, who was at the front line, suddenly burst into laughter. This piece of news was like a shot of adrenaline, bringing him endless strength!
“Charge!!”
He yelled, shouting, "We humans will never fear death! Kill the Dark Beast Kings! Kill! Kill! Kill!"
With his three consecutive kills, the Daxia Legion instantly glowed with a different brilliance.
Look! How great are our young people in Daxia!
"Brothers, as seniors, please don't embarrass yourself!"
"The damn city wall only has so little blood left, kill it!!"
“Hahaha! Go!!!”
Heroic laughter emanated from each car, and the atmosphere of the Daxia Legion was completely different.
Even the soldiers of Osam and the Great Bear Kingdom were delighted after seeing this notice!
"What a relief! The Dark Beasts deserve to die! The Dark Beast Kings deserve to die even more!"
"This Daxia Wei Huan is incredible."
"Protect Daxia! Follow Daxia closely! We can't lose to Daxia! Guys, get your act together!"
"kill!!!"
Faced with the strong fighting spirit that had been re-gathered by humans, the Dark Beast's mind went blank in that brief moment, and the whole world was drowned in noise.
"squeak--"
The high-frequency sound pierced my ears and went straight into my head, causing me to have a splitting headache.
"Hajime is dead?"
"Where? Where did he slaughter my people? I will tear him to pieces!"
"Dark Beast King Nemesis? I remember that not long ago there was a human called King Nemesis. Is he still alive? Why is he still alive?"
"Who is Wei Huan? Why haven't I heard anything about him? What are you doing, Thought Beast?!"
The Dark Beast Kings roared one after another, expressing both anger and mourning for the death of their own kind.
As the top of the food chain in the Dark Beast Plane, they are destined to be very rare. The birth of each royal one makes them look forward to it very much.
And death...anger and grief are like cutting flesh.
More importantly, there is the fear deep in my heart that I don’t want to admit.
If humans can kill royal family members, then can they also kill themselves one day?
Although in this evolutionary war with humans, the several concentrated attacks by humans have made these king beasts feel dangerous, they have never been threatened with death.
Humans have never killed a royal family before. The dark beast royal family, who know that they hold countless trump cards in their hands, know very well that even if their territory is breached, they can still survive.
The royal family's racial talents are so powerful that humans cannot truly kill them.
But what about now?
When the first royal family actually died, the Dark Beast Royal Family felt more of the uneasiness and helplessness as if they were standing naked in broad daylight after their "umbrella" was torn apart.
Then, there was a strong, unprecedented murderous desire towards this man named Wei Huan.
Go catch him! Avenge his people! Torture him, peel off his skin, and dig out all his secrets! Kill him! Kill him!
The strong murderous intent at this moment even overshadowed the ongoing battle.
It was during this period of decline and growth that the Dark Beast King Clan, who were being attacked by concentrated firepower, missed the best opportunity to activate their "talent".
A moment of distraction.
The city wall collapsed!!
After a month of war and the sacrifice of tens of thousands of soldiers, there was finally a breakthrough.
Amid the loud roar of collapse, Fang William once again sounded the rallying cry for war.
“Charge!”
The convoys from Daxia that entered one after another, as well as the convoys from other countries that surrounded this territory from all directions, wanting to swallow it up in one gulp, launched a devastating attack on this territory.
The Dark Beast Lord manages the territory and builds a defense system. Once the defense system collapses, even if the interior is filled with fortifications, it is still far inferior to the defense of the city wall.
Excited humans poured into the city, venting their anger crazily, and turned all the frustration of the past month's siege into the most ferocious attacks in their hands, smashing them into the territory.
The song of victory seems to be ringing in my ears.
"A breakthrough..." Commander Dong and others sitting in the rear murmured and sighed, and then the skinny old man raised his hand and touched the corner of his eyes.
He smiled and said to Commander Chai: "That child should be credited with the main credit for this victory."
Although Commander Chai cultivated his own direct subordinates after taking office, he was not harsh on Wei Huan and took good care of him. Now that Wei Huan had won such a great victory for him, he became happier and liked him more and more the more he thought about it.
When he spoke again, his tone was filled with kindness: "Yes, when this kid said he wanted to challenge a random person to see if he could influence the opening match, I was a bit skeptical. I didn't expect him to actually do it now."
Wang Gang, the commander of the Xuanwu Army, nodded and praised, "A stroke of genius, the timing is perfect, and even God is on our side."
Then he looked at Commander Chai with a greedy look on his face: "Have you made arrangements for Wei Huan? Otherwise..."
Before he could finish, Commander Chai glared at him, his nose and eyes not eyes, "What are you thinking? Even if the Jade Emperor came, he is still a member of our Qinglong Army!"
Commander Dong watched the two bickering, his bitter face relaxed, then he looked at the current situation on the battlefield, his brows raised with joy.
After breaching the city wall, human chariots swarmed in and destroyed the territory in a blink of an eye.
Just now, the casualty ratio between humans and dark beasts was 3 percentage points lower, but now they have not only caught up, but are also leading by 2 percentage points.
"We're almost back." Commander Dong checked with the other Daxia commanders, then ordered his adjutant, "Pick up Osam and the Great Bear Command."
"yes!"
The video call connected three seconds later, and Osham's five-star Admiral Meyer said, "Congratulations on the birth of such a super genius. Not only did he break the psychological defenses of these royal families, allowing us to win, but he also killed 100,000 dark beasts, almost blocking a generation."
Faced with the praise from these old foxes, the commanders of Daxia felt honored and very happy.
Commander Dong said with a smile, "We can withdraw our troops now. Victory is already secured. What we need now is to maintain our advantage."
"But what if we can't hold it?" Admiral Meyer said, then added, "But my staff members have the same opinion as you."
Commander Dong and Admiral Meyer looked at the commander-in-chief of the Great Bear Country at the same time.
Commander-in-Chief Big Bear spoke succinctly and nodded, "I agree."
The Supreme Council reached a consensus, and just when everyone was having a great time killing, an order came from the rear to call back the troops.
Although many people thought they wanted to expand their victory, and some even saw a building about to be torn down, everyone obeyed the strict military orders and retreated quickly and orderly, using the same speed as the rush in.
At the end were the leader cars of various countries, including Fang William, who concentrated on blocking the pursuing dark beasts and protecting the rear of their comrades. In the end, everything went smoothly without any danger.
When the battle was over, both sides fell into an unusual silence.
Especially as for the dark beasts, the damaged territory has not been repaired for a long time.
"Did you get beaten silly?" When the message came back from the front, the human soldiers were laughing heartily.
"It's a pity that I didn't kill the Dark Beast King. If I had met him, I would have at least gotten the Dark Beast King Nemesis achievement for fun."
"A 25% attribute bonus, isn't this equivalent to a pseudo-artifact?"
"The attribute bonuses available to the entire vehicle, that is, the number of pseudo-artifacts equal to the number of people on board, holy shit! I'm so envious I'm practically dying of jealousy and want to join them."
"This Wei Huan is incredible. Why haven't I heard of his name before?"
"Oh, by the way, you've been exploring the ruins in the Challenge World for the past six months, so you might not have noticed the previous message. This Wei Huan wiped out a large Dark Beast region two months ago, and that's when he completed the Novice Challenge."
"What? Novice challenge? Did I hear that right?"
"It's a novice challenge. He's this year's newcomer. Can you believe it? Not only did he take on the important task of leading the car in the third-level highway assessment, he also successfully led 70,000 people through the process. After the assessment, he immediately went on to take on a random challenge. You saw the notice, too. That's it."
"Hiss! Are these newcomers so powerful?"
"He is too fierce. I admire him."
"Then tell me, what else is so great about him?"
"Hey, did I mention that during the Novice Road Challenge, he arrived a full day early and even won all five championship rewards? This is probably the first step in his journey to becoming a god..."
All the legions of the human nations gathered together and stopped attacking the Dark Beast territories. Even though those Dark Beast territories were being repaired, this would not change the fact that the casualties were already there.
They simply gathered the human tanks together, put the most powerful ones in the front, and protected the tanks that were too weak to ensure that the battle loss ratio would not change again.
If they didn't withdraw from the battlefield now, it would be recorded in the battle loss ratio, and I'm afraid that all the tanks on the human side would have withdrawn.
So what we need to do now is to protect our own low-level tanks and concentrate our forces to defend against the inevitable attacks from the Dark Beast Legion.
But without the protection of the city walls, it would be too difficult for the dark beasts with only flesh and blood to survive in front of the human chariots.
The offense and defense alternated, and humans were in absolute advantage. It would be difficult for them to lose this battle.
Sure enough, after dark, the Dark Beast Legion reorganized itself and wanted to make up for the casualties.
Countless dark beasts and recruited soldiers, as well as a large number of heroic professions, left the city walls and launched round after round of charges against the human positions.
The battle was fierce, lasting from dusk till dawn, but humans were full of vigor and showed no sign of fatigue.
The Dark Beast Lords and the recruited soldiers were harvested in droves. The heroes who seemed invincible standing on the city walls were now turned into ashes under the fierce attacks of the chariots.
The frantic attacks continued until dawn, and looking at the casualty ratio, the result of the night was that humans were ahead of the dark beasts by 6 percentage points!
Last night, the corpses of the dark beasts piled up into a mountain. If Challenge World had not collected them, this war plain would have become a hell of blood and flesh.
Very cruel, but very happy.
"Damn it! I was so excited during my first battle that I haven't slept in four days. Look at my eyes. Are they round and energetic?"
"Round! Spirited! I'd be happy to stay awake for the rest of my life on a battlefield like this."
"That's right. Guess what I was thinking when I was taking a break? I was thinking the ones ahead shouldn't kill too quickly. I wanted to keep a few more alive! If Lao Wang and the others saw us having such a grand occasion, they would be so happy."
"Yes, the time for revenge has come."
The humans were eager to fight, but the dark beasts' morale was declining as the fight went on.
After a night of attack, the casualty ratio is getting bigger and bigger. Who wouldn’t be overwhelmed?
How could such a good situation turn into this in an instant?
Oh, by the way, it’s all because of that human named Wei Huan.
Hate it!!
