Chapter 552 - 405: Using 500 to Defeat 50,000, the Advantage Is Ours! (Extra for Alliance Leader Bai Shiyu!)

"Isn’t the scale of the battle escalating too quickly?"

Lin Yue lay on the wall, the butt of the sniper rifle pressed against his shoulder, and his finger occasionally pressed the trigger. After taking down the Storm Flying Lizards that luckily broke through the firepower net of the Medium Electric Guard Machine Gun Platform, which was blasting diagonally towards the sky, he couldn’t help but complain.

Indeed, the scale of the battle has escalated too quickly.

The previous battles felt like mere child’s play.

The largest battle he participated in before was during the capture of the nitrate ore.

Back then, he faced only a Lizardman army of over ten thousand, a few beggars, and a giant creature that he used as a weapon for half a day.

But the scale of this battle, or rather, the number and quality of the enemies he is facing now, has far surpassed that instance, reaching an unprecedented level!

A vast black crowd of Lizardmen has surrounded the entire Shelter, numbering at least thirty to forty thousand!

And that’s not all.

Two giant creatures are approaching from two directions, including one that’s no less formidable than the Poison Celestial Dragon he encountered before.

When the Medium Electric Guard Machine Gun Platform forced the Lizardmen within its firepower net to retreat, more Strange Rats, giant spiders, and Blood-sucking Worms charged out from behind, forming a second line of encirclement.

Of course, there are also the hundreds of Storm Flying Lizards that he keeps sniping down from the sky.

But Lin Yue doesn’t think this is the end.

He even feels this is just the beginning.

This is only the first wave of the Lizardmen’s offensive!

After all, lurking in the shadows, waiting...

The mysterious person who knows his secret has not yet shown up.

Even the beggars who should have appeared are nowhere to be seen.

Is this normal?

Obviously, based on past experiences, the Lizardmen and the beggars always appeared together. They shouldn’t end up like now, with thousands dead and another not even in sight.

The gunfire continued, and the barrel of the sniper rifle was getting hot.

The Storm Flying Lizards kept plummeting from the sky, crashing around the Shelter’s walls, by the main Shelter, and near the greenhouse, also explosively creating treasure chests beside them.

This was all within Lin Yue’s expectations, or rather, it was the result he desired.

Shooting it down in midair would cause the chest to appear instantly, then fall vertically to the ground; getting hit by it would indeed be a joke.

Moreover, even if it didn’t hit him or Bai, Meng, Little Ice Lizard, hitting the greenhouse Shelter wouldn’t be good.

That’s why Lin Yue adopted this tactic to take down those pesky creatures one by one.

Of course, the anti-aircraft gun platforms have also eliminated many, rapidly decreasing their numbers.

The Medium Electric Guard Machine Gun Platform beside him continued spewing flames, and amidst the deafening roar, the overheated machine gun barrel unleashed a barrage of bullets, relentlessly tearing the Strange Rats, giant spiders, and Blood-sucking Worms attempting to close in on the Shelter into pieces!

And those robot dogs, after he reprogrammed them one by one, are now targeting the Lizardmen who thought they were safe in the distance.

Of course, Lin Yue also didn’t forget to produce a large quantity of bullets, stocking up the robot dogs.

At this moment, Bai, Meng, and the Little Ice Lizards are busily feeding, preparing for the upcoming battle.

So far, eliminating the enemies has mainly been the job of the robot dogs, the Medium Electric Guard Machine Gun Platform, and himself, and only after reaching a certain level will Bai and the others be able to act.

This "certain level" naturally refers to when the Poison Celestial Dragon reaches the walls, and the Lizardmen withdraw completely beyond the safe distance...

And when those supposed-to-appear beggars show up!

For now, he still had ample "breathing" time.

The Lizardmen dare not approach the walls of the Shelter any further, having retreated at least two kilometers away, just outside the maximum range of the sniper rifle.

Only the creatures the Lizardmen brought out from the Secret Realm are still charging: whether Storm Flying Lizards or Strange Rats, even the constantly approaching Poison Celestial Dragon, all are of this nature.

Of course, there’s also that yet-arriving giant creature, and Lin Yue can take it down anytime.

In some respects, he’s still holding a certain advantage for now.

Of course, this advantage is only temporary, limited until the beggars and more enemies show up.

At this moment, Lin Yue actually had a bold plan.

Moreover, this plan is now in action.

Several bullets fired in succession, taking down three more Storm Flying Lizards attempting a dive, and Lin Yue set the sniper rifle next to him to cool off a bit.

He then pulled another one from his Storage Space, skillfully calibrated it, and mounted the sniper scope onto it.

After firing a few shots at the sky, several more Storm Flying Lizards hit the ground.

Lin Yue counted, and there were only about ten Storm Flying Lizards still floating in the sky.

Glancing outside the walls, there weren’t many Strange Rats left either; the machine gun platform had shredded too many of their lives, and many creatures were now fleeing in panic due to the tremendous casualties.

The Lizardmen’s first wave of attack seems to end here.

Then, next...

Should they wait?

Will they attempt a surprise attack by tunneling from below the walls and climbing up, or...

Plan a full assault when the Medium Electric Guard Machine Gun Platform falls silent?

After taking down the last few Storm Flying Lizards with a few final shots, Lin Yue listened to their thudding sounds as they hit the ground, and stood up from the wall.

Behind the Alloy Explosion-Proof Shield, Lin Yue observed his surroundings.

The Lizardman army was not merely retreating.

They were starting to converge from all directions towards a single point.

And that direction was the northeast, along the path of the giant creature.

Oh-ho.

Are they launching the second wave of attacks, abandoning the tunnel strategy and climbing in over the walls?

Lin Yue waited a bit longer.

The Medium Electric Guard Machine Gun Platform continued to blast away, leaving few of the previously overwhelming numbers of Strange Rats, giant spiders, and Blood-sucking Worms.

Even the Poison Celestial Dragon was motionless over there.

So...

Is it time for the next step?

Such stalemate isn’t good, right?

The Lizardmen kept retreating.

They feared the bullet-spewing terrifying machines, and the weapons that could at any moment take the head of a nearby comrade.

They retreated to the safest area, gradually gathering.

And they oddly noticed at this time, those terrifying weapons suddenly fell silent one by one, with no more bullets being fired!

Even as the remaining Strange Rats, giant spiders, and Blood-sucking Worms continued charging forward, the weapons made no sound.

Could it be... that moment has come?

Suddenly, from one side of the unassailable Shelter’s walls, two giant dragons burst out, followed by a massive white flash!

They charged at the creatures, engaging in direct combat!

The Lizardmen knew that the time had finally come!

And underground, the person closely monitoring the battle also smiled.
