Chapter 248 "Dongfeng Express"
Of course, this first confrontation with the Dark Beast King Clan was just the beginning. After the humans on Blue Star were extremely happy, they began to look forward to Wei Huan's next performance.
More and more people focused their attention on Wei Huan.
At the same time, on the battlefield, the challenger warriors who were about to enter the battlefield also received this good news.
"Colonel Wei killed the Dark Beast King?"
"I heard it was a very exciting battle. They planned everything ahead of the Dark Beast King Clan and beat them so hard that they had no ability to fight back."
"This is the benefit of seizing the initiative. This is the opening battle we started, and we have made preparations in advance. We also have some understanding of the new world, so it has been very easy so far."
"Hahaha, I can't wait to kill the Dark Beast! I want to vent all the anger I've been holding back for all these years."
"Kill the Dark Beast and avenge my son!"
"Kill the Dark Beast and avenge my parents!"
"Revenge for my comrades!"
Wei Huan's victory greatly boosted the morale on the battlefield. The tanks that rolled forward in an army-like manner were filled with an unsuppressible murderous aura.
The leaders of each legion saw this momentum and couldn't help but compare themselves to others. In every opening battle in the past, they had never gained such morale.
"Wei Huan's success has completely reversed the situation. I propose to speed up the march so that the soldiers can be deployed to the battlefield more quickly. As the saying goes in Daxia, we must give our soldiers a good vent before Wei Huan achieves another victory.
"Everyone is too excited. Is this inappropriate?"
"No! I agree with what was said before. We should speed up. We must trust the discipline ingrained in our soldiers and cherish this rare morale."
"I appeal, speed up!"
"I also appeal, speed up!"
After the leaders of various countries made the decision in a few words, the legions of various countries received the latest orders, increasing the marching speed by 300 kilometers per hour.
This time the decision was clearly the right one.
Feeling the increase in speed outside the car, the soldiers were not nervous or confused. Instead, they became even more impatient and praised the decision as being correct.
It was my first time fighting a battle, and I was so excited.
Just as everyone was getting impatient, the first row of the army's convoy finally came into direct combat with the Dark Beast Territory.
"Follow my command, fire a salvo!"
"Long-range preparation! Attack!!"
"Free long-range attack, don't stop the blanket strike!!"
"Kill, brothers! For the human race! For glory!!"
The worst chariots were level four, and when they encountered a level three territory, it was like an armored vehicle running over a mud-brick house.
The soldiers who had been holding back all the way fired only the first round, and all the dark beast territories encountered by the human chariots were directly blown away like fallen leaves swept away by the autumn wind.
Those third-level dark beast lords also tried hard to prepare for war in order to survive, but their level was too low and they were no match for the human advanced chariots.
Some territories were bombed into ruins by tanks that were out of their range before they could even fire a single shell.
The human army, which had already seen a significant improvement in overall strength and was vaguely superior to the Dark Beast Clan, was now advancing with overwhelming force.
"Blow his grandma to death!"
"Hahaha, did you see that? I just instantly killed a hero on the city wall!"
"This favorable battle is so damn satisfying! Not enough, not enough, one more round! I didn't perform well just now, I can kill more in one go!"
"Push it directly in front of the Dark Beast King, let's kill a Dark Beast King too, hahahaha!"
The human warriors were full of vigor and they flattened the dark beast territories along the way while chatting and laughing. Inevitably, some people began to advance and attack.
Commander Dong Chujian is the commander-in-chief of the Daxia Legion and one of the five chief commanders of the Blue Star Alliance Army.
He reminded some countries online: "Don't be too aggressive. There are high-level territories interspersed among the low-level territories, and the location of the royal families has not yet been found to have a pattern."
Now, the other four chief commanders of powerful countries have to listen to his words. It's because Daxia's fist is so strong now. It's so strong that even if Commander Dong coughs, everyone else has to reflect on whether what they said just now is right.
Even the commander-in-chief of Osam expressed his high agreement with Commander Dong's words.
"Yes, you are quite right. Commanders, please restrain your soldiers. Our human race is a united whole at this moment. Only when we unite as a group can our punches be heavier and harder."
The Great Bear Nation's commander sneered, "Running to the front and killing more Dark Beasts doesn't really earn you any special credit, but it does put you in danger and affect the overall operation."
The commander-in-chief of the Kangaroo Country looked unhappy, but he turned around and said a few words to his adjutant and gave the order.
A possible chaos of scattered guerrillas was eliminated in advance, and the Blue Star soldiers were re-unified and gathered into a group. They were like a huge wave, devouring the territory of the Dark Beast Lord with great speed.
One after another, the Dark Beast territories disappeared. Listening to the crazy screams of the system, the Dark Beast King fell into a long silence.
"king……"
The Thoughtbeast standing beneath the throne hesitated to speak, but finally said, "No matter what your decision is, your people will obey you unconditionally and always respect you."
On the huge body, a pair of eyes like the sun and the moon looked down, the scarlet eyes emitted a bloodthirsty light, and an unpleasant "snoring" sound was always present.
The Dark Beast King made a sound like thunder: "Are you trying to guess what I'm thinking?"
The black mist of the Thought Beast surged, and one could see its emotional fluctuations at that moment: "No, it's not, I didn't..."
"How brave." The Dark Beast King just said it lightly, and then the body of the Thought Beast began to expand rapidly and irregularly. Bubbles bulged out of the black mist one after another, as if they were rapidly multiplying, until they turned into a large ball of expanding black bubbles, and then exploded with a "bang".
The Dark Beast King, who was filled with anger, killed his most capable subordinate. Instead of feeling happy, he felt even more angry.
It looked at all the dark beast kings below who were frightened into silence, and finally its eyes fell on one place.
It was a dark beast king that looked very young and clever. While other dark beast kings were trying hard to strengthen their bodies and transform into ferocious and terrifying postures, he stood in the middle of the royal family, transformed into a life with long limbs, like a running beast. The scales on his body were hard, with a pair of eyes in the front and a pair of eyes at the back of his head. If you didn't look for it specifically, it would be almost impossible to find its trace.
"crack."
But the Dark Beast King called its name.
The Dark Beast King of Splits, the one who had encountered Wei Huan twice and successfully escaped from him each time, shuddered.
This is an extremely intelligent dark beast king who knows how to judge the situation.
Now, it has been named by the Dark Beast King.
The Split King came out trembling from his hiding corner, and prostrated himself on the ground with great respect, not daring to look at the king's face.
The Dark Beast King looked at the skinny Crack King who did not look like a member of the Dark Beast King family. He was obviously not surprised that he had transformed into such a useless appearance.
Facing this unique Dark Beast King, the Dark Beast King did not look down on it, but rather cherished this flexible and adaptable royal family. If it weren't for the Crack King's wisdom, they wouldn't have received information about this human so early, including during the Level 5 Highway assessment, when it was his nimble escape that brought updated news.
"Escape" does not mean disobeying orders. Every choice made by the Split King is correct and in line with the Dark Beast King's thoughts.
So at this moment, the Dark Beast King called out the name of the Rift King because he needed his subordinates to truly guess the situation and make truly fair and pertinent suggestions, rather than guessing his thoughts and giving flattering answers.
"What do you think? Should we fight this battle or not?" The Dark Beast King's deep voice sounded like thunder above his head.
The scene of the Thought Beast being blown to pieces still replayed before his eyes. King Crack trembled with fear, not daring to raise his head as he said, "King, this battle must be fought."
The Dark Beast King was silent. This choice was different from what he had expected.
It originally wanted to preserve its strength, regain the advantage through the lord challenge, and then fight back. It thought that the King of Split had the same idea as it did. It just wanted to hear from someone who could use his brain to confirm that the reason for its withdrawal was correct, rather than such an unexpected answer.
Suddenly, a bloody aura began to surge, quickly filling the lord's hall.
“…”
The Dark Beast King's silence made the Split King even more afraid to breathe. He stammered, "That human possesses a divine weapon. Every time I see him, he becomes stronger. The sixth-level world won't be his final destination. He dares to challenge even the Demon God. He will reach a higher world at an even faster speed. By then, humans will only become stronger."
After a pause, the Split King said, "Before the gap is completely widened, this is our last chance. We must surround and kill him.
With his death, the human race no longer has to fear him.
Now he's deep into our territory alone, and you see, he's so fast, so fast that we haven't even finished relocating yet. This is our chance!"
The last sentence was like a revelation, awakening the Dark Beast King who had already thought of retreating. He opened his eyes as wide as he could and stared at the thin royal family member. Then, after pondering for a few seconds, he suddenly stood up.
"Everyone, go back to the territory and kill him, kill him!!"
…
"Wei Huan, do we need to go deeper? We've already killed a member of the royal family, which must have angered the Dark Beast Clan. They might have set a trap ahead."
When Mu Zhong said this, Commander Dong and Commander Chai also looked over. Mu Zhong's words hit the point, which was exactly what everyone was worried about.
Wei Huan went too deep into the heart of the dark beast, which was too dangerous.
"...and," Mu Zhong said, looking deeply at Wei Huan, "the preparation time hasn't passed yet. I know what you want to do, but this is too risky. I hope you can reconsider it carefully."
Commander Dong and Commander Chai both nodded, but they did not speak rashly. It was their consensus to let Wei Huan judge the situation and act freely.
On the virtual screen in front of Wei Huan, the images of these three people were enlarged to the maximum, and the others who were still connected were squeezed into the corner.
He scanned each face in turn, then said, "Before I came here, I made a vow to make the Dark Beast Clan pay for their blood debt with blood. Looking for the Dark Beast King Clan is like looking for a needle in a haystack. It would be better if they came to me."
After hearing what Wei Huan said, everyone showed an expression of "as expected".
Commander Dong's face was filled with worry. "The Dark Beast Lord is less than level six, so the territory battle isn't a big deal. However, the Dark Beast Tribe's Dharmakaya is incredibly powerful. If two or more Dharmakayas appear, the pressure will multiply. Besides, you won't just be facing two Dark Beast Kings then."
Wei Huan said, "Strictly speaking, I will most likely be fighting five or six at the same time. The size of the Dark Beast King's territory determines the number of beasts they can use to besiege me, unless they abandon their territory and come to kill me alone."
"How can you be sure they won't do that?"
"No, I think they will."
"oh?"
"But without their territorial defenses, the Dark Beast Kings are like turtles without their shells. Now is the perfect time to kill them." Wei Huan's eyes were filled with murderous intent and a fierce determination. "This is a war of civilizations, a war for the survival of our species. Any risk is worth taking. And there's more..." Wei Huan flipped his hand, holding a pile of things. He looked at the surprised Commander Dong with a smile in his eyes and said, "We still have many trump cards."
Commander Dong looked at what he was holding and laughed. "That's right, that's right. Fighting to support the war is the way to go. I was negligent in this."
Although Commander Chai hadn't spoken a word, his facial expression changed noticeably, from worry to sudden enlightenment. Now, looking at his slightly ferocious face, the solemnity was obviously melted away by a smile.
Only Mu Zhong's expression did not change much.
He was with Wei Huan, so he naturally knew what Wei Huan had done. But even if he knew, he didn't want Wei Huan to take the risk. However, he knew he couldn't persuade him, so he could only stop talking.
After the conversation, Wei Huan's chariot and the convoy he led did not stop their offensive towards the heart of the Dark Beast.
However, the speed was indeed a little slower, and this time when they went forward, the open space Wei Huan flattened was more than three times wider than before.
Although Wei Huan wanted to lure the snake out of its hole, he couldn't let the poisonous snake bite him to death. He had to be a snake catcher, so he had to leave a way out.
In addition, widening the route three times is of course also for the purpose of fighting to support the war.
In fact, it is very simple. Just use the points earned from killing these dark beasts to buy forbidden spell scrolls.
On average, he crushed three to five cities in one minute. Except for the first lord who only had one point, he could only earn 1 point. These lords would recruit other dark beast lords to fight against him. The lesser ones would gain five or six points by pushing a city, while the more ones, like the royal family he met not long ago, could directly earn 110,000 points.
Adding to the scrolls he had saved before and those obtained for him by the Blue Star Alliance Army, Wei Huan now had quite a few scrolls of forbidden spells in his hands.
He was not afraid that the Dark Beast King would plot against him, but rather that this aimless search was very troublesome.
Wei Huan went deep into the territory of the Dark Beasts in a "Z-shaped" way, unaware that the Dark Beast Lords around him were migrating on a large scale. Under the orders of the Dark Beast King, the Dark Beast Clan deployed their troops and were weaving a big net against Wei Huan.
Of course, Wei Huan didn’t know, but he just didn’t know, not as cautious and calculated as Dark Beast thought he was.
The Dark Beast King family deployed their troops, while Wei Huan and Jiang Taigong fished. Who will be the bait and who will be the fish in the end depends on how this battle goes.
While the two sides were fighting, the human army had already advanced more than ten miles. The aggressive army, led by the highest level six chariots, was no match for the third and fourth level lords they encountered.
Occasionally there are sacrifices. Cunning high-level lords choose to pause when upgrading their most representative outer walls to 99.99. When the human chariots arrive without warning, they are greeted by level 5 city walls or even level 6 weapons.
Or, some high-level lords may have pseudo-god-level heroes in their hands. Even if humans have made sufficient preparations, there will still be situations where the fourth-level tanks will be blown up by pseudo-god-level heroes.
Pseudo-god-level heroes deal extremely high damage, hiding among the other lords and making it difficult to distinguish them. Some excel at ranged combat, others at melee, and even the elusive assassin-like Pseudo-gods are often invisible. By the time they reappear, a chariot has already been blasted to pieces by their accumulated, high-level crit damage. The crews of the chariots are scattered, some lucky enough to escape, others strangled on the battlefield and buried on the spot.
【Goodbye, hero.】
This is why I'm afraid to watch live broadcasts. It's too tragic. These are lives lost. They could be children, parents, husbands, or wives.
Although I can't compare them this way, I still want to say that this time is already very good. Since we've been fighting the Dark Beasts, countless people have died. This time's casualty ratio may be the lowest in history.
"Yes, in the past, even with many casualties, we still couldn't break through the Dark Beast Lord's walls. This time, we have level 6 chariots and many high-level level 5 chariots. With the advantage of weapons and equipment, the casualties have been very small."
May there be no war in the world.
The audience in the live broadcast room revealed the current real situation.
Although many people died, compared with all the previous confrontations with the Dark Beast Lord, this one was indeed the most successful one.
They just need to keep pushing forward and killing the high-level lords, because the king-level lords are attracted to Wei Huan.
This is a rare opportunity to consume the power of the Dark Beast Tribe.
This is how war is. "Zero casualties" is a miraculous term. The real war is about who dies fewer and gains more victory points.
Of course, there are also some with special tasks.
For example, Captain Fang also led a convoy of 1,000 people and followed the road opened by Wei Huan, chasing him at full speed.
Wei Huan wanted to "fish", and the generals in the rear also had things to do, but they also had to arrange support troops for Wei Huan to prepare for any eventuality.
The battle of an army of over ten million people may seem so huge that it is difficult to see the overall situation with the naked eye, but in fact it is well organized. Even those convoys that seem to be moving back inexplicably have their own destinations.
This is of course because those who commanded the war were all famous generals from various countries, and they had cooperated on the battlefield for many years and had sufficient tacit understanding.
In addition, the occasional disputes between the highest generals in previous years did not occur even once in this battle. Commander Dong was tacitly given the highest say, and as long as he made a decision, few people would object.
That is why, in less than three hours since entering the battlefield, the human race has achieved results that they had never imagined before.
According to rough statistics, the human race destroyed 1 level 5 vehicle and 13 level 4 vehicles, and the death toll was about 517 people.
The Dark Beast Tribe destroyed 3,012 Level 4 cities and 32 Level 5 cities, and Wei Huan also single-handedly killed a Dark Beast King. High-ranking lords could gather Dark Beasts to serve in their territories, and by combining the points earned by each legion, they had earned a total of 1.67 million points.
517 people versus 1.67 million dark beasts. No matter how you look at it, this casualty ratio is a great victory for humanity!
Three hours are about to pass.
This is also the time left for both sides of the battlefield to deploy their troops.
Wei Huan encountered the second royal territory since he came here.
The reason why he knew that this was the territory of the Dark Beast King as soon as he arrived was that before Wei Huan could get close, a thousand-foot-tall tiger-shaped monster slapped him in the face.
The ghost crow that was directly connected to Wei Huan's exploration and his vision killed more than a thousand undead scouts.
The attack range this time was so great, including the rare initiative of the Dark Beast King, that when Wei Huan came to his senses, he found that he had no vision in front of him.
The Demon Eye Lord he sent out was taken away in one wave.
This is not a good thing.
Wei Huan informed Jacques: "Looking at these coordinates, we seem to have encountered the Dark Beast King, and this king has left the city."
"yes."
Jacques received the order and went to carry it out. Only then did someone ask questions on Wei Huan's communication line.
Commander Chai asked, "Leaving the city?"
Commander Dong also had a serious expression.
In the past, the Dark Beast Kings never left their shells. Even though their Dharma images were powerful, they still preferred to rely on city walls to fight against humans.
One of the dark beast kings left the city and transformed into a Dharma image to actively attack Wei Huan. Even with just this one attack, a lot of information was revealed.
Mu Zhong said, "First, our suspicions have come true. The Dark Beast Kings have taken the bait, apparently intending to keep us here. But at the same time, their departure from the city signifies their determination to risk everything. We may need to contend with more than one Dark Beast King at a time, and the number may become incalculable."
After a pause, Mu Zhong listened attentively to the analysis of the staff officer connected to his side, and then continued, "The Dark Beast Kings transformed into Dharmakaya. Because they lack the ability themselves, they need to absorb the power of the city's population and the loyal Dark Beasts. The good news is that we only need to deal with these royal families who transformed into Dharmakaya. Moreover, the more Dark Beast Kings appear in the same city, the weaker they will be.
So you can fight."
After these last words were spoken, Commander Dong and Commander Chai both nodded at the same time. It was obvious that they and their staff officers also believed that the gathering of the Dark Beast Clan was not a particularly bad thing.
The more they gather, the less power they gain and the easier they are to kill.
If there is only one Dark Beast King in a royal city, it would be even better to take him.
This time, everyone truly felt the benefits of strong combat effectiveness.
No matter how the opponent planned, they could not kill Wei Huan.
"The Dark Beast Tribe's murderous intent is strong, but their assessment of our strength is inaccurate. Luck is on our side," Commander Chai said confidently. "Captain Fang will arrive in your area in 20 minutes. Once you reunite, all the Dark Beast Tribe's schemes will be irrelevant."
Then Commander Chai asked, "Should we act later?"
Wei Huan didn't make a decision directly. He turned to look at Jacques and asked, "How?"
Jacques said, "Right ahead, outside the territory, there are three Dark Beast Kings and two inside the territory. The details need to be verified again."
Wei Huan lowered his eyes and thought for a moment before making a decision: "Also, for the Dark Beast Kings outside, give each of them a Dongfeng Express. I want them to be unable to return once they leave the city."
"yes!"
