Chapter 3133: Ancient Royal City

~14 min read 2,697 words

Not only was the Second Legion victorious, but other legions on the horizontal battle line also beat back waves of Parasitic Warriors.

Su Xiao immediately gave an order to continue advancing.

The sound of artillery and gunfire never stopped for a moment. The counterattack of the temporary alliance began.

Su Xiao sat on a steel tank, looking at the map in his hand. With the area of the Western Continent at this time, it was more like a huge island, presenting a circular shape as a whole. It was originally oval, but since yesterday morning, the shelling of the naval fleet had continued. Unless the temperature of the cannon barrel was too high, it had been bombing all along.

The super-large island, which was originally oval, was now repaired into a circle, and it was a circle with serrations around it.

The ancient royal city was located in the central area. Su Xiao's plan was to push flat forward first, and after pushing to the ancient royal city, the troops on the left and right wings would continue to move forward, bypassing the areas on both sides of the ancient royal city, and then like two large hands, gradually closing, finally forcing all the Parasitic Warriors on the island into the ancient royal city.

In this way, the target that needed to be attacked was only one left. It seemed that the enemy's combat power was gathered, but in reality, it had been completely surrounded by their side.

After that, Su Xiao could press the enemy troops in the ancient royal city and fight.

Determining this plan, Su Xiao issued more than ten orders in succession and informed the base camp in the rear that all soldiers coming as reinforcements should march along the outer area, that is, the area that could be covered by the fleet's artillery fire, and join whichever legion they encountered along the way.

After issuing these instructions, Su Xiao ordered the Second Legion to continue to advance.

At the same time, inside the ancient royal city.

The towering Imperial Palace stood among the buildings. No building dared to be higher than it. In the past, this represented power and status. But if the alliance army attacked, the higher the building, the more cannonballs it would receive.

The main hall was dim. On the towering dark gold throne, a tall figure wearing full-body armor sat on the throne. His armor seemed to merge with his body, like semi-melted oil.

"King, we have been invaded by foreigners."

A silver-armored knight knelt on one knee. His aura was sharp, like a piercing sword blessed with wind light.

Click, click, click~

A sound like armor twisting appeared. The tall figure on the throne raised his head, and a pair of pale eyes opened. In these eyes, a golden nematode seemed to flash by.

"Those who dare to invade my territory, descend the insect bite."

"Obey."

The silver-armored knight bowed and retreated backward. Only after retreating outside the palace did he dare to stand up straight. He walked out of the palace, and a red-armored knight had been waiting for a long time.

"Silver... woke up?"

The red-armored knight's voice was strained, sounding very uncomfortable.

"Didn't wake up."

The silver-armored knight sighed.

"Then what to do?"

"No way, wait for death."

There was a teasing tone in the silver-armored knight's tone.

"At such a time, the Great Emperor is still sleeping. Does he really think his tyranny is still continuing?"

There was dissatisfaction in the red-armored knight's tone, but in reality, he was testing.

"We followed him for a thousand years, and finally... became non-human monsters."

The silver-armored knight also began to test. He continued: "Is that person named Kingsley really credible?"

"Don't tell me you want to..."

The red-armored knight's tone began to be playful.

"The times have changed. The glory of the Great Emperor has long been extinguished with the death of the Moon Wolf."

The silver-armored knight and the red-armored knight looked at each other, and neither spoke anymore, going together to find someone.

Middle ring area.

Boom, boom!

Cannonballs landed, and black soil was blown high. A steel tank drove at full power, advancing forward with the roar of the engine.

Su Xiao stood on the steel tank, the strong wind blowing the alliance officer's coat draped over his shoulders and back. He looked at the setting sun on the horizon. It was already three o'clock in the afternoon, and there were 15 hours left in the second link of the main mission.

"Roar!"

A Parasitic Warrior rushed out from the mud diagonally below the tank, heading straight for Su Xiao. With a boom, a bullet nearly 10 centimeters long flew past, blowing the Parasitic Warrior to pieces.

A crystal layer appeared beside Su Xiao, blocking the splashing blood. His thumb and index finger clamped a nematode as thick as a little finger and nearly 30 centimeters long. This fat nematode was still twisting.

Smack~

Su Xiao exerted force with his fingertips, crushed the head of the nematode, and then looked at Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang.

"Xiang Bubu, this should also be considered a high-level creature, why not..."

Halfway through Su Xiao's words, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, who was originally squatting on top of the tank, suddenly stood up. Looking at the posture of the hind legs, it seemed to be kneeling.

"Hahahaha ga~"

Baha laughed unusually unconscionably.

"..."

Su Xiao looked at the nematode in his hand. It was a pity. The flesh and blood of this thing should be able to improve Xiang Bubu's physical fitness by a tiny amount. He threw away the nematode between his fingers.

The war swept across the entire Western Continent. All legions were like crazy, clearing the rushing Parasitic Warriors. After the full-scale war started, the Parasitic Warriors seemed to be endless.

Compared to the various legions advancing and the soldiers who had started to have red eyes, the logistics supply troops were under great pressure. Their task was only one: transport bullets and cannonballs, especially bullets. After continuous firepower pouring, the number of bullets consumed was a terrifying number.

Unknowingly, night fell. Su Xiao jumped off the steel tank and walked into the newly built command post. This was already in the inner ring area of the Western Continent.

Just after entering the command post, Su Xiao saw Goya standing in the corner. This girl gradually exposed her true nature. The other party liked to hide in the dark to observe secretly, and occasionally did confusing behaviors.

Su Xiao ignored Goya. He was pondering one thing: whether they could break through the ancient royal city tonight.

The method Su Xiao was currently adopting was to fight head-on by relying on soldiers with the War Lord's blessing. Veterans could indeed push flat, but other soldiers, when clashing with Parasitic Warriors, although they had a big advantage, could not reach the level of pushing flat, and at most retreated one after another.

Compared to the Second Legion composed of veterans, the First Legion was more fierce. After receiving the blessing of all attributes +20 points, health upper limit increased by 45%, physical defense +30 points, all ability levels increased by lv. 10, and Blood Soul Power, these supernatural beings could be said to have taken off on the spot.

However, the powerful individuals among them didn't receive high blessings, and some didn't receive any blessings at all. This belonged to the normal situation. At the beginning, the Demon Flame Dragon Babatos didn't receive the blessing of the War Lord.

The power of the War Lord title didn't lie in improving the strength of high-end combat power, but in being able to bring blessings to a massive number of soldier-type units.

Even so, there were many supernatural beings with average strength whose combat power greatly increased after receiving the blessing of the War Lord.

This led to the fact that wherever the First Legion passed, it could be said that not a blade of grass grew. The means of supernatural beings were diverse, and some even possessed large-scale enemy-killing abilities.

Su Xiao simply dispersed the First Legion and let them act freely. These were not soldiers. Only by cooperating in the form of small teams could they exert stronger combat power.

This decision of Su Xiao made several major generals and colonels very happy. Supernatural small teams were really top-notch in the war. Two hours ago, the major general of the Fourth Legion and the major general of the Seventh Legion almost had a conflict because of competing for the reinforcements of 59 supernatural small teams.

Having no choice, Su Xiao could only go in person, and after "persuading" them, the two major generals "shook hands and made peace" with "joy on their faces."

The battle situation outside had reached a tragic degree. The war had developed to this extent, and Su Xiao would no longer intervene easily. There is a specialty in the art industry. If it was about improving his own combat power, those major generals and colonels combined were not even one-thousandth of Su Xiao. But if it was about directing alliance soldiers, Su Xiao was not as good as those major generals. Those major generals understood alliance soldiers better.

Su Xiao's delegation of power made the major generals and colonels breathe a sigh of relief. They were afraid from the bottom of their hearts of encountering that kind of commander-in-chief who didn't understand alliance soldiers but commanded indiscriminately.

However, Su Xiao still issued an order. He ordered people to dismantle the ship's main cannons tomorrow morning.

Su Xiao lay on the bed, looked at the time, and then closed his eyes to rest. Let them fight slowly outside. At worst, he would consume 10 ounces of space-time power tomorrow morning to extend the mission time by 1 day. He was still willing to spend this bit of space-time power.

Before resting, Su Xiao checked the massive amount of prompts. Because he was killing enemies through alliance soldiers and supernatural beings, the world source he obtained was significantly reduced. After fighting for so long, he only obtained 8.61% of the world source. The reduction in benefits was too severe. This was the drawback of borrowing external forces. If it were the Demon Zerg, the benefits brought at this time would be several times higher, or even more.

As for the treasure chest, don't mention it.

It wasn't time for benefits yet. Su Xiao estimated that tomorrow morning would be the highlight.

Su Xiao was woken up by the sound of the timer. He picked up the timer by the bedside. It was already 5:30 in the morning of the next day.

"Baha, how is the battle situation progressing?"

"Big tailwind. The battle line was completely opened in the first half of the night, and the Second Legion fought to the vicinity of the ancient royal city in the second half of the night. Other legions began to close in. They closed in all night, pressing all the Parasitic Warriors into the ancient royal city, just waiting for your final general attack order. Oh, by the way, there are scattered Parasitic Warriors in other areas, and alliance soldiers have already formed cleaning teams, cleaning up those scattered Parasitic Warriors."

"Very good."

Su Xiao was confused on the bed for a while, and his eyes regained focus.

After washing up, Su Xiao walked out of the temporary command post, boarded a steel tank, and went to the front line with Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, Amu, Baha, and Hunting Tide.

An hour later, Su Xiao arrived at the front line. Just after getting off the steel tank, he saw the towering city wall one kilometer away.

Their dozens of soldiers had set up layers of defense lines around the ancient royal city, surrounding this place tightly. Fighting with Parasitic Warriors was like this. A little carelessness would lead to being buried on the battlefield.

The city wall in front was about tens of meters high. Although the weathering traces were serious, it was unusually sturdy. According to Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's detection, at this time, there were no Parasitic Warriors in the buildings within the ancient royal city. All Parasitic Warriors were hiding underground. As for the situation in the highest building, that is, the Imperial Palace, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang didn't know either. It was permeated with Abyssal Power, and Xiang Bubu didn't enter rashly.

Hundreds of heavy cannons raised their muzzles. As long as Su Xiao gave an order, these heavy cannons would pour firepower. Light cannons weren't even taken out, so as not to lose face.

The ancient royal city was quiet. In reality, not only were the Parasitic Warriors hiding in the underground buildings, but the Some Qiyuezhe were too.

In the dim underground palace, two figures stood in the shadows.

"Trickster, is this what you said about no big problem?"

Xian Ji looked at the Trickster, that is, the Gray Gentleman, with a smile that was not a smile.

"The attack came too suddenly. Who would have thought that side would launch a general attack on the second day after the war started."

The Gray Gentleman smiled. Xian Ji didn't leave, of course, because of his interference. The grudge hadn't been formed yet, and he wouldn't let Xian Ji make a trip in vain.

"This guy named Bai Ye... is very dangerous, very dangerous."

Xian Ji took out a ring. If the situation was not right, she would choose to leave. However, this was a war zone, plus she had already joined the Western Continent faction. Unless it was a last resort, he wouldn't leave here.

A hundred meters away, Guang Mu, Shui Ge, and the Tyrant were standing or sitting.

"Are we hiding in this underground palace?"

Guang Mu looked indifferent, but was actually very vigilant. Compared to the enemy, she felt the Gray Gentleman was more dangerous.

"Wait, Emperor Taiya has existed for a thousand years, he should have means to break the enemy."

Shui Ge said while a gem slid from his sleeve into his palm. If the situation was not good, he would also withdraw.

The Tyrant suddenly spoke, asking: "Shui Ge, are we still allies?"

"Of course we are."

"Then Shui Ge," the Tyrant lowered his voice and continued: "Watch my eyes and act later."

"?"

Shui Ge was bewildered. He was a blind man. He could clearly perceive external objects, but watching eyes... this was really difficult for him.

"Pfft~"

Guang Mu couldn't help laughing and turned her head away. The Tyrant's gaze met hers.

"What's so funny about this."

"Nothing, I remembered a happy thing~"

Guang Mu said, and doubt emerged in her heart. Logically speaking, Eighth Tier Some Qiyuezhe wouldn't be so unintelligent, especially a strong man of the Tyrant's strength. This made Guang Mu speculate, did the Tyrant's undying ability reduce IQ?

In fact, Guang Mu guessed right. The Tyrant's ability, which could be called rebirth from a drop of blood, also had drawbacks. Every time the Tyrant "died," the reduction in his IQ and thinking ability became more severe.

One kilometer outside the royal city, the morning breeze was blowing slowly. It was a good day today.

Su Xiao didn't order the shelling in the first instance. The "protagonist" of the shelling hadn't arrived yet.

"Come here, pull up the ship's main cannons!"

Baha gave a loud shout. Before long, a total of 103 ship main cannons were pulled up by steel tanks and supernatural beings with strength characteristics. That's right, Su Xiao was prepared to use the main cannons of steel warships to bomb this royal city.

Baha's wings spread, the alloy exoskeleton bracket on its back unfolded, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang leaped onto Baha's back, the alloy exoskeleton retracted, letting Xiang Bubu lie steadily on it. The Apollo bomber was ready.

A total of 103 ship main cannons, as well as the Baha and Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang combination, were ready. One was bombing wildly inside the royal city, and the other was throwing Apollos from high altitude. It could be said to be a mixed double-hit. ===== CHAPTER 3134 =====
