Chapter 3130: Steady, We Can Win
The sky was covered with dark clouds. Su Xiao hung up the walkie-talkie in his hand. He had successfully contacted Kingsley just now and initially understood the situation on Emperor Taiya's side.
Emperor Taiya was in the ancient royal city, where a massive number of Parasitic Warriors were stationed. If one could sneak in, there was no need to deal with all the Parasitic Warriors. The reason was that the building where Emperor Taiya was located was permeated with rich Abyssal Power.
Once the Parasitic Warriors came into contact with such rich Abyssal Power, the nematodes in their bodies would undergo rapid metamorphosis. Because the main body of the nematodes had been killed by the Moon Wolf, these nematode sub-bodies would face death after undergoing high-speed metamorphosis for several cycles.
In other words, if one sneaked into the Imperial Palace where Emperor Taiya was located, one only needed to deal with the Three Knights there, as well as Emperor Taiya.
Su Xiao would not sneak in there. He wanted to fight his way from the front. His plan was to blow the ancient royal city flat first, and then clean up Emperor Taiya.
The good news at the moment was that the dozens of researchers from the Eclipse Organization had constructed a long-distance teleportation array that could operate stably through the unique technology of the Eclipse Organization, and could teleport 50 soldiers over each time.
This seemed like nothing, but under the investment of the four parties, ten long-distance teleportation arrays had been successfully established, and the number was continuing to rise.
Each teleportation array could be activated once every 5 minutes. If there were thirty teleportation arrays, that would be 18,000 soldiers teleported over every hour. This number was quite considerable.
This was the benefit of going to war with the help of the four major forces. There was no need to worry about the consumption of resources at all.
Under the blessing of the War Lord, the combat power of their soldiers also underwent a qualitative change. Su Xiao found a soldier with medium combat quality and checked his data, obtaining the following results:
Name: Walker Fei
Category: Alliance Soldier.
Health: 100%
Body Soul Power: 1240/1240 points
Strength: 125+20 points (Real Attribute)
Agility: 126+20 points (Real Attribute)
Stamina: 123 points
Intelligence: 76 points
Charisma: 27 points
Skill 1, One Heart (Passive, lv. 43+10): For every soldier-type unit nearby, physical defense +1 point (can be increased by up to 19 points), reload speed +0.03% (can be increased up to 25%), shooting precision +0.5 correction (can be increased up to +7 shooting correction).
Skill 2, Soldier Morale (Passive, lv. 35+10): Health +3700 points, Willpower +10 points.
Skill 3, Firearms Mastery (Technique-type Passive, lv. 43+10): Due to the significant increase in skill level, this ability has a probability of advancing to Firearms Grandmaster during combat and obtaining the Veteran title (this data is only visible to the hunter himself).
Hint: This ability data needs to be opened in the branch list to view.
Skill 4, Hard Training (Passive, lv. 55+10): Nerve reflex speed +32%, dynamic vision +39%. When near death, there is a probability of temporarily exempting the near-death state and restoring to the normal state for 5 seconds (after triggering this effect, stamina attribute permanently -1 point).
Skill 5, Blood Soul Power (Title Passive, lv. 55+10): Not activated.
Hint: After this ability is activated, the long-range attack caused by this unit will be blessed with Burning Soul Power, carrying 107 points of real damage (original 120 points of real damage, long-range system reduced). Therefore, this is a long-range combat unit, and it cannot carry the Bathing Blood effect when attacking, and cannot ingest enemy health to restore its own lost health.
No matter how you look at it, the alliance soldiers themselves are not strong, but they know how to use firearms, or rather, all their training and strengthening are concentrated in this aspect.
Under the blessing of the War Lord, as long as they don't flee in battle during fierce fighting, they have a chance to advance Firearms Mastery to Firearms Grandmaster. Alliance soldiers lay a solid foundation through hard training, and now with the blessing of the War Lord as a trigger, the accumulation brought by this hard training can be stimulated.
What alliance soldiers lack is no longer training, but an opportunity. Otherwise, just having the blessing of the War Lord title wouldn't achieve this effect.
One or two veterans, that is, Firearms Grandmasters using blue gunpowder firearms, are actually not scary. But what if there are dozens? If Eighth Tier Some Qiyuezhe encounter these veterans, they will be very troubled.
But what if hundreds of soldiers advance to Firearms Grandmaster and transform into veterans? If Eighth Tier Some Qiyuezhe encounter them, they will turn and run without hesitation. These veterans are indeed fragile, but one round of their activation is enough to instantly kill Eighth Tier Some Qiyuezhe.
Suppose you encounter thousands of veterans? If it's this situation, Eighth Tier Some Qiyuezhe will only say one sentence: "What the hell am I fighting?"
Then what if there are tens of thousands of veterans? And they are veterans whose bullets carry real damage. This will be a quite terrifying scene.
There is one more point: the War Lord's all-ability level increase of lv. 10 cannot reach lv. 10 for technique-type abilities. This time it reached lv. 10, mainly because the War Lord's seven-star title rank adds to the specialized-level technique ability, which is more than enough, so the effect is full.
Su Xiao already had a plan in his heart. If he fought head-on with the enemy according to the current situation, because their soldiers were participating in the war for the first time, once the enemy came out in full force, their soldiers would collapse under high pressure.
The enemy didn't choose to come out in full force in the first battle just now because the location Su Xiao chose for the base camp was good, just within the shelling range of the fleet.
Not to mention the destructive power of the fleet's volley, Su Xiao let the fleet wash the Western Continent for five hours. The enemy was very weak and would not let more than half of the Parasitic Warriors be exposed to the range of the ship cannons.
Since this was the case, letting their soldiers use the base camp as a foundation and actively find the enemy troops in large batches to conduct medium-scale wars was the best choice.
Doing this had three benefits: 1. Let their soldiers adapt to the battlefield.
2. In battle, let more of their soldiers possess the Veteran title, that is, advance Firearms Mastery to Firearms Grandmaster. They trained all year round, and with this foundation, plus the blessing of the War Lord, the probability of advancement was not low.
3. Paralyze the enemy troops, making the enemy troops mistakenly believe that their side wanted to fight a war of attrition.
In this way, as long as their soldiers advanced to veterans through the blessing of the War Lord, let them retreat to the vicinity of the safe base camp. This not only gave them time to adapt to the battlefield but also accumulated the number of veterans.
When there were enough veterans in hand, and the total number of soldiers reached more than 300,000, triggering the "Blood Soul Power" ability of the War Lord, this would be a very terrifying force.
No need for too many, just 50,000 veterans, plus 10,000 supernatural beings, and 250,000 ordinary soldiers, Su Xiao could push the Western Continent flat in one round.
Gouging in the early stage to develop rapidly, continuing to gouge in the middle stage, and invincible in the late stage. It can be said that if you don't move, you are as steady as an old dog, and if you move, the sky falls and the earth cracks.
Su Xiao pondered for a moment and decided to send out the Second Legion and the Third Legion, leaving the First Legion and the Fourth to Seventh Legions to guard the base camp.
"Goya."
"Here."
Goya, in an alliance military uniform, stood straight. She had already given up struggling. Whatever, whatever. She was already emotionless.
"Go and notify the Second Legion and the Third Legion to set off toward the rubble area and meet the enemy head-on. The First Legion is ready to reinforce at any time. The heavy artillery troops of the Fourth Legion advance 6 kilometers and wait for orders. The Fifth Legion is ready to reinforce the flank..."
After Su Xiao gave the order, Goya took out a small notebook, scribbled it down, and then went to convey the order.
Half an hour later, Su Xiao heard shelling outside the command post. The Second Legion and the Third Legion were fighting the enemy, and they were expected to retreat after an hour of fighting.
The waiting time was a bit long. Just then, Hunting Tide, not far behind Su Xiao, spoke:
"Are you letting the warriors die?"
"Consider it so."
Su Xiao actually had two choices. If he fought in a conventional way, at least 70% of the soldiers would die, and they might not necessarily win the final victory. They might appear to collapse on a large scale during the war. The extreme method was to send them to the front line in batches. In this way, the casualties would be 20% to 30%.
Although the casualties of the latter looked crazier in the process of implementation, as if sending alliance soldiers to purgatory in batches, in fact, by ensuring the number of reinforcements and cover troops in the rear, the soldiers sent to the front line were easier to retreat, unlike passive defense positions where they could only fight to the death.
"Aren't you afraid they will rebel?"
"..."
Su Xiao turned his head to look at Hunting Tide, looked the other party up and down, and then ignored her. Baha smiled and asked:
"Hunting Tide, little sister, let me ask you, even if the Second Legion and the Third Legion rebel, where would they rebel to? Defect to Emperor Taiya? What you said is called mutiny. Don't worry, they won't mutiny. They are soldiers, not warriors. The thinking of warriors is more diverse, like you, who can also work part-time as a female secretary. When you return to the Southern Continent, I'll get you an OL suit. Hey mom~, auntie, I was wrong, don't point the arrow at me."
Baha tilted his body, habitually foul-mouthed. Because of the power of the Heavenly Ba, he was cowardly.
An hour passed, and the battle report was sent back. The Second Legion and the Third Legion sent out had a total of more than 12,680 killed in action. The Parasitic Warriors' attack methods were too strong, and the nematodes in their bodies were something their soldiers could die from just by touching.
Su Xiao checked the faction list that only he could see. The data of their faction appeared. He only checked the number of supernatural beings and soldiers.
Supernatural beings: 11,519.
Ordinary soldiers: 233,734.
Elite soldiers: 7,260.
Veterans: 5,726.
Among these elite soldiers, they were between ordinary soldiers and veterans, and were about to advance to Firearms Grandmaster under the blessing of the War Lord.
This was far from enough. The overall combat power of the Western Continent faction was much stronger than Su Xiao had expected. He felt that this time he needed to consume 30 ounces of space-time power to exchange for 3 days of mission time.
In this way, he would have 4 days and 15 hours to deal with the Western Continent faction. Of course, Su Xiao would not rashly use space-time power before the existing mission time was exhausted.
Su Xiao let the seven major generals' hearts relax for 10 minutes before he gave the second order. He ordered the Fourth Legion and the Fifth Legion to go to war, still using the original strategy.
When receiving this order, Major General Abetti of the Fourth Legion and Major General Duke of the Fifth Legion both felt a shiver in their hearts. It was their turn this time. Both of them were as clear as a mirror. Alliance soldiers had never participated in a war. This was the commander-in-chief letting the soldiers under their command adapt to this place. If they didn't even have the courage, then what's the point of fighting? Just surrender directly.
The Fourth Legion and the Fifth Legion were both soldiers and officers of the Southern Alliance. They were all holding back a breath of energy. Just now, the Second Legion and the Third Legion were almost beaten into grandsons by the enemy. They were different. They were soldiers of the Southern Alliance, not the soft eggs of the Eastern Alliance.
"Warriors, show our morale!"
In front of the trench, a lieutenant shouted. He looked at those firm eyes and felt proud in his heart. These were soldiers of the Southern Alliance, the brave men of the Southern Continent.
Two hours later.
The lieutenant, covered in blood and filth, shrank in the tent, holding a metal cup in his trembling hands, inside was boiling black tea. He took a sip of black tea, and the temperature in his mouth gradually spread to his stomach, warming his entire abdomen.
"I'm still... alive, hehehe."
When the lieutenant laughed, it affected the scars on his face, making him shiver with pain. He heard footsteps approaching vaguely. At first, he didn't care, but suddenly, he found that the other party had lightened their footsteps.
The lieutenant's heel stepped on the butt of the gun, and the upright rifle was held in his hand. The bolt pulling, loading, and aiming of the rifle in his hand were done in one go, aiming at the brow of the person coming outside the tent. His calloused index finger was very steady, even though his lips were still a bit pale because of the purgatory scene just now.
"Shh~"
A female officer who looked very masculine and stronger than the lieutenant drilled into the tent. The lieutenant threw away the rifle in his hand. This was what he needed most now. His old lover had come.
Enemy station, a dark earth house was crowded with Parasitic Warriors. In most cases, Parasitic Warriors hated light. Unless necessary, they would not actively expose themselves to the sun, although the sun had no effect on them.
In a spacious wooden house next door, several Some Qiyuezhe were standing or sitting.
"Everyone, don't be restrained, Ms. Xian Ji is one of us now."
The Trickster smiled and spoke. The Tyrant, Guang Mu, Shui Ge, and the Charisma-type female Some Qiyuezhe in the wooden house didn't speak, and the others were the same, all looking at Xian Ji vigilantly.
"Trickster, should I thank you? In such a battle situation, you actually asked me for help."
Xian Ji looked at the Trickster, that is, the Gray Gentleman, with a smile that was not a smile. Xian Ji was suspicious in her heart. Why was the other party so kind?
"With you here, our chance of winning is steadier."
While the Gray Gentleman was speaking, he looked at the brand on his palm. He felt sorry in his heart. This puppet was going to be consumed here. Based on his understanding of Su Xiao, he had already guessed that Su Xiao was definitely brewing a big move. Once that side revealed its fangs, the twenty-plus people here, except for Xian Ji, would not even have a chance to escape.
"Ms. Xian Ji, are you really one of us now?"
The Tyrant still had some concerns, but Xian Ji was a rule-breaker of Saint Light Paradise, not those lunatics of Reincarnation Paradise. Those lunatics among the rule-breakers were completely uncooperative.
"Not one of us, just a community of interests."
"Fortunately, you are not those lunatics of Reincarnation Paradise. If you were, I would turn and leave."
While the Tyrant was speaking, he stood up. The Trickster suddenly asked:
"Tyrant, do you have a prejudice against Reincarnation Paradise?"
"A big prejudice."
"Prejudice will evolve into weaknesses..."
"Weak chicken, shut up."
"..."
The Trickster, that is, the Gray Gentleman, was stunned for a moment, then smiled and shook his head. Xian Ji beside him moved her eyebrows, but didn't say anything.
Xian Ji re-examined the Tyrant, this strong man who was courageous but whose IQ was consumed by muscle growth. She guessed that this was a Some Qiyuezhe of Apocalypse Paradise, otherwise he wouldn't have lived to such a high rank, even if the other party was called the Undying Tyrant.
"This time, it seems quite steady?"
Guang Mu came out to smooth things over. She estimated that if they continued to talk like this, there might be internal strife, so she changed the subject. From the previous battle between the Western Continent faction and the Alliance faction, Guang Mu basically determined that the enemy faction was not as good as it looked. They fought three battles, and the enemy side was miserably defeated three times in a row.
Hearing Guang Mu's words, the Tyrant agreed very much. He said:
"That's right, it's steady this time." ===== CHAPTER 3131 =====
