Chapter 3390: Tragic (Revised)

~18 min read 3,459 words

All one-star titles were exchanged into his hands. Su Xiao closed the title shop and looked down at the situation on the battlefield. Everywhere he looked, flame explosions didn't stop for a moment. The combat uniforms of the clan soldiers had excellent defense, but they didn't block heat.

A simple metaphor was that if the "physical defense" of this combat uniform was 80, having 20 points of fire resistance was not bad.

This was made of metal fiber mixed with sand cotton fiber, which was excellent for preventing slashing and penetration. Unfortunately, the wild boar warriors used heavy weapon blunt strikes + flame damage.

In the chaotic battlefield, Hausman, who was shirtless, held a nearly 2-meter-long nail hammer, and had the "Sun Ring" mark branded on his back, was very conspicuous. He was the soul figure on the battlefield on his side, but compared to him, the other five guys were in a wretched style.

These were the five wild boar mage brothers. After mastering the power of the sun, these five guys showed their natural talent. Their fighting style didn't change. They still held a seemingly savage wooden staff in each hand, but inside was a fireball staff wrapped with Black Maple Tree branches.

They still fought by enlarging fireballs. Because all five brothers had the passive ability of "Spell Resonance," they had a not-low probability of causing a five-shot big fireball when they blasted out big fireballs with their staves.

If it was only like this, the fireball team could at most be considered an elite team. After mastering the power of the sun, everything changed. The big fireballs blasted out by these five guys actually turned into sun flame fireballs. This was no longer bird guns changing to cannons, but directly jumping from bird guns to intercontinental missiles.

If they could only blast out one big sun fireball at a time, that would be fine. The key was that they had the "Spell Resonance" ability. When releasing big sun fireballs, there was a probability of about 20% for a "tut-tut-tut-tut-tut" sun fireball five-shot.

This still wasn't the most shameless part. The five brothers of the fireball team were inseparable. Not to mention sleeping, they even squatted in a row when pooping.

In battle, the five brothers would face the enemy together. One person's sun fireball five-shot was enough for the enemy to suffer. Thought this was the end? Not at all.

These five guys didn't know if they were self-taught, or finally understood the low-level spell notes Su Xiao gave them, or mastered them during the transformation. They had a second spell skill "Burning."

The "Burning" skill was particularly simple. First, it was mental locking, then igniting the enemy, letting flames burn on the enemy, thereby causing the enemy to continuously suffer physical burns and flame damage.

In real battle, there was no concept of spell overlap. The wild boar five brothers started with five "Burnings."

After this ability acted on the enemy, how many layers of "Burning" effect the enemy suffered was uncertain, because this ability could also trigger the "Spell Resonance" effect. If luck exploded, the enemy would immediately have 25 layers of "Burning" effect at the moment the battle started.

Generally, if this situation appeared, the enemy would scream and be burned to death. 25 layers of "Burning" effect stacked together, the enemy would look like a match that had been lit.

The real purpose of the "Burning" effect was not to kill the enemy. This ability could kill the enemy because the wild boar five brothers could stack it to 25 layers, leading to a qualitative change in strength. The original purpose of this ability was positioning.

First apply the "Burning" effect to the enemy, and after that, the fireballs released by the wild boar five brothers would track the target suffering the "Burning" effect to a certain extent.

Although it wasn't the exaggerated tracking of tracking missiles, it could also draw arcs to track. Don't forget how strong the wild boar five brothers' ability to release sun fireballs was. The five of them added together were a spell machine gun that kept tut-tut-tut-ing.

In the melee on the battlefield, the role of the wild boar five brothers couldn't compare to five heavy tanks. In the final analysis, after the sun power in their bodies was exhausted, they would collapse on the spot, but they were military officer killers.

The wild boar five brothers were not responsible for melee fighting. Those five pairs of fierce and poisonous small squinting eyes would wretchedly hide among other wild boar warriors.

At first glance, they were not uniform in height, weight, or fatness, and their appearance was similar to dwarf boars. Their height was between 1.3-1.5 meters. Either they were thin as hemp stalks, or they were so fat that their clothes couldn't cover their bellies.

But they were military officer killers on the battlefield. From the start of the war to now, 12 enemy middle and low-level military officers had died in their hands. The largest military rank was a clan captain.

They hid among the wild boar warriors on their side, using "Burning Technique" to burn the enemy to death alive. That clan captain roared particularly unwillingly before dying.

It was these five guys who burned out 2 holy-level treasure chests for Su Xiao. They weren't completely soldier-type units, which was why they had such a high treasure chest drop rate.

Su Xiao looked at the wild boar five brothers hiding in a dirt pit pretending to be corpses in the distance. This talent, he didn't cultivate in vain.

The battle situation for his side was already great, but Su Xiao was always worried about one thing, which was whether the clan side had brought heavy artillery weapons this time. Bubu Wang had gone to scout the enemy's rear, but had no harvest so far.

Heavy artillery weapons were no joke. Fortunately, that thing was large in volume. This time the clan side urgently mobilized troops, and they didn't value the wild boar warriors on his side, so the probability of bringing heavy artillery weapons was very low.

The melee on the battlefield continued. As a wild boar warrior swung a war hammer, the clan soldier who engaged with it immediately raised his war knife to block. The skin of this clan soldier was gray, slightly metallic.

The gray-faced clan's teeth were clenched, the masseter muscles on his face protruded, and accompanied by the huge force transmitted from his hands, a flame came head-on.

Boom!

The flame explosion topped the gray-faced clan to stagger backward. The skin on his face was burning with pain, but he didn't have the slightest pause. Instead, he took a few steps forward, avoided the war hammer swung from above by the enemy, held the war knife handle with both hands, and swept horizontally.

Puchi!

The huge head was slashed and flew up, dragging a bloodstain. Blood and fire intertwined on the battlefield.

The gray-faced clan after killing the enemy spat out a large mouthful of hot air, panting heavily, feeling that his lungs were about to catch fire.

Just then, evil wind attacked from his side. He looked sideways and saw a war hammer wrapped in golden-red flames had already reached his face. He even saw the bone slag burned into slag stuck on the hammer surface, and smelled the scorched smell.

The gray-faced clan cursed "pig" in his heart, and then a loud noise rushed into his ears. This was the last sound he heard.

This clan soldier was swallowed by flames. Due to the impact of the blunt strike, his broken body flew out of the flames and landed with a slap.

The wild boar warrior who had just hammered and killed an enemy shifted its gaze. A cold light attacked, followed by a sharp cutting sound. Its perspective lowered rapidly. While its eyes gradually turned black, the noise, screams, wails, and the groans of the dying on the battlefield gradually went away and finally disappeared.

Beside the corpse of this wild boar warrior, a clan military officer holding a sharp sword walked past. His expression was cold, his hair was naturally curly, and the small mustache on his chin gave him a kind of inexplicable sharpness.

Not far away, five pairs of fierce and poisonous eyes locked onto this clan military officer. The wild boar five brothers found their prey. They were hiding among the wild boar warriors.

It wouldn't be long before the wild boar five brothers would become notorious on the enemy side, notorious military officer killers.

On this tragic battlefield, anyone could become someone else's prey.

The wild boar warriors relied on the flame explosions caused by the "Rage Flame" ability to make the enemy's defense lines collapse layer by layer. Even if the enemy commander integrated the more than ten layers of defense lines originally set up into three layers, they still couldn't stop it.

Finally, it led to the melee between the wild boar warriors on his side and the clan soldiers on the enemy side on the large Gobi beach.

After the battle lasted for 2 hours, the enemy tried to shrink the defense line, but the battlefield was too chaotic.

After the battle lasted for 5 hours, the sky began to brighten. The enemy commander-in-chief issued a retreat order, but the warriors and soldiers who were mixed together couldn't just leave if they wanted to.

After the battle lasted for 8 hours, which was 8:00 am the next day, the clan side finally couldn't hold on, and in the way of forming a dare-to-die team, formed a non-retreat defense line, and other soldiers took the opportunity to retreat.

The first battle ended in an extremely tragic way. The enemy dispatched about 200,000 clan soldiers to the border area, and only 60,000+ soldiers returned. Originally, the number of casualties wouldn't reach this level, but because of the enemy's pursuit, the wounded troops who retreated slowly at the rear chose to stay behind, among which there were many casualties, and many were captured.

Not to mention anything else, the soldiers of the "Clan Alliance" were able to fight and had backbone. In the first battle, because the wild boar warriors' ability restrained the clan soldiers, if it were an ordinary clan troop, let alone fighting for 8 hours, they might have fled in full line in less than 5 hours.

Inside the command center, Su Xiao looked at the battle report counted by Baja. About 200,000 clan soldiers came to attack the border area, 60,000 escaped, 30,000+ were captured, about 100,000 were killed, and the rest didn't know where they went, they should have been scattered into small troops.

Was the victory result sweet? No, his own wild boar warriors died in battle totaling 105,792, and there were many wounded. The ratio of deaths with the enemy was about 1 to 1.

This made Su Xiao feel that the situation was very bad. If clan soldiers all had this combat power, there would be no way to fight, unless he could let the Evolution Nest upgrade one more layer.

The current death rate was about 1 to 1. The advantages of his side were: Sun faith + Zerg combat instinct + War Lord's morale + 70 points, and the willpower of the wild boar warriors that had been improved many times, so they wouldn't easily fear, flee, etc. Before his side died 70% or 80%, it was unlikely to flee. Fighting to the death without retreating was the key to his side winning this victory.

Su Xiao picked up the communicator, first contacted Caesar, and then contacted Li Siniwei.

Because it was after the war, it was no longer difficult to find out the details of the enemy army. Su Xiao knew why the enemy was so troublesome. The enemy's commander-in-chief was named Leitz, with the rank of brigadier general.

Su Xiao had been in contact with this person before and had also investigated the other party. After Brigadier General Leitz died, his deeds would definitely be in the history textbooks of clan schools.

This famous military officer, during the war with humans, served as the commander-in-chief of the "Batutuo River War Zone," and the war hammer troop under his command was one of the three elite troops on the front line.

War hammer, magnetic explosion, heavy artillery, recognized as the three strongest clan troops in the war zone. War hammer and heavy artillery were under the "Clan Alliance," and the magnetic explosion troop was under the "Aurora Council."

If the combat power of the troops under the three major clan forces was calculated evenly, then the troop ranking was: the troops under the Clan Alliance were the strongest. This was the most capable of fighting, after all, they were weapon dealers.

Next was the Aurora Council, which developed biological technology.

Ranked last was Watchtower. No wonder this side had always been a good person. They couldn't fight their other "two brothers," so they could only pretend to be good people to maintain the face of being a major clan force.

Su Xiao understood why this battle was fought to this extent. The Clan Alliance itself was the most fierce among the three major clan forces, and the war hammer troop he faced this time was one of the two elite troops in the Clan Alliance. This was the elite among the strongest. It wouldn't be strange if it wasn't hard to fight.

Calculated this way, the average combat power of the wild boar warriors had been improved to a satisfactory level.

From the current situation, wanting to defeat the clans with the current wild boar warrior army was impossible, at least before this world progress ended.

If the stay time in this world reached the limit, that is, reached the longest time limit of the world contention, the Tree of the Void would forcibly teleport all participants in this world away, which would lead to the failure of the war mission.

The current degree wouldn't work, so he had to find a way to go further. Originally, Su Xiao's plan was to take the risk to upgrade the "Evolution Nest" for the fourth time. Upgrading this fortress organ was like strengthening weapons. The more times it was upgraded, the higher the risk.

A simple metaphor was that the current Evolution Nest was +3, and wanting to upgrade to +4, even if fully prepared, the failure probability was very high. Once it failed, the previous efforts would be in vain. In the case of being unable to supplement the number of wild boar warriors, he would sooner or later be wiped out by the clans.

After triggering the historical-level event, a turning point appeared. The Tree of the Void opened the title shop.

Besides taking the risk to upgrade the Evolution Nest for the fourth time, Su Xiao saw a second strategy, which was to continuously improve the exchange level in the title shop, from Lv. 1 all the way to Lv. 7, and then buy all the titles inside with soul coins, and then burn these titles through the title burning disk to synthesize seven-star titles.

Su Xiao had 4 seven-star titles, which were: 【King Without Crown】, 【War Lord】, 【World Intrusion】, 【Blood Intent】.

Among them, 【War Lord】 and 【Blood Intent】 had to be kept. The latter could permanently improve blood energy intensity when improving blood energy, which was a rare good thing.

Su Xiao's idea was to upgrade 【War Lord】 from a seven-star title to an eight-star title. Anyway, on the side of the enemy contractors, he was not the first time not being a human, so he might as well be more ruthless.

Su Xiao knew how "good" his own luck was, so before the success rate of upgrading 【War Lord】 to an eight-star title reached 100%, he wouldn't upgrade it rashly.

Wanting to promote 【War Lord】 to an eight-star title 100%, he needed to embed it in the center of the title disk, embed 5 seven-star titles as auxiliary titles in the 5 grooves around it, and then start title burning after consuming these 5 auxiliary titles, which could ensure 【War Lord】 was promoted to an eight-star title.

Among the existing seven-star titles, 【King Without Crown】 looked particularly strong, but due to Su Xiao's sword master, melee master, 560 points of soul strength, soul gaze (Lv. MAX), and other multiple control exemptions, judgment exemptions, and judgment counter-measures, 【King Without Crown】 was weakened unprecedentedly in Su Xiao's hands.

The originally strong title could only be thrown in the corner to eat dust. This thing had to withstand the enemy's judgment ability, and only after Su Xiao's judgment was successful could it take effect.

Su Xiao faced the situation that he rarely experienced successful judgment. Generally, it was judgment exemption, and he couldn't reach the step of success. Every time he wanted to trigger the effect of 【King Without Crown】, it would get stuck with a snap.

In normal times, Su Xiao wore the five-star title 【Shadow of Deep Blue】 instead of 【King Without Crown】. The reason was that the former improved his own strength more.

So this time, Su Xiao decided to say goodbye to this title that looked very powerful but was actually useless.

As a seven-star title, 【World Intrusion】 was particularly powerful. This title was obtained when Su Xiao invaded the Dark Star world last time.

The main effect of this title was not the strongest, the strongest was a characteristic below.

"Hint: If this title is used as an auxiliary title for title burning, this title will be equivalent to two auxiliary titles of the same star rating."

In other words, 【King Without Crown】 + 【World Intrusion】 was equivalent to already having 3 seven-star auxiliary titles. Getting 2 more seven-star titles would allow War Lord to be promoted to an eight-star title.

By then, he could let the clan side and Golden Count, Saint Poetry, Orandi, and others experience what an upgraded version of Bai Ye-style legion flow was.

Wanting to do this required not only a high enough exchange level in the title shop, but also sufficient soul coins in hand.

Wanting to produce an eight-star title in a short time must be a huge expense.

In order to ensure that nothing went wrong, and with two withdrawal princesses already squeezed dry, Su Xiao wanted to find another withdrawal princess. If it was like Morey and Moon Apostle who didn't hold grudges and valued life more, there was no need to kill them all. If they held grudges, kill them after one withdrawal.

Besides withdrawal princesses, Su Xiao had seen before in the world contact platform that Prince and others were also in this world.

This miner team, Paradise Team, made him miss them a bit. The ore robbed last time was really too valuable. How much Reed received, he received.

Reed's original words were, this was high-level goods from Apocalypse, whether it was the collection process, the processing after leaving the mine, or the later storage, they were top-notch professional, of course, he received as much as there was.

Su Xiao frowned and thought about how to find the Paradise Team. The contract signed with that team last time didn't know why it had completely expired, without a trace. Perhaps it was caused by Apocalypse Paradise's protection mechanism for miners.

Su Xiao wasn't without a way. He had to activate the title 【Apocalypse】 first. By then, he had a high probability of being able to reactivate the world contact platform on the Apocalypse Paradise side.

By then, whether it was searching for a new "withdrawal princess" or "charity brother," or finding out the location of the Paradise Team, there would be operational space.

And he could also obtain enemy intelligence in real-time through the world contact platform, achieving multiple goals with one move.

Somewhere in the clan territory, in an underground mine a thousand meters deep, Prince, who had just raised his pickaxe, suddenly shivered. He himself was a bit inexplicable, raised his hand and rubbed his nose.

Beside him, Belle, who wore a miner's hat, had some small freckles on her face, and a slightly red nose tip, asked: "What's wrong, are you cold?"

"I don't know why, suddenly I was shocked, really strange,"

Prince calmed his mind and raised his pickaxe again. In his view, mining was the source of happiness. Except for not being happy when robbed, he was quite happy at other times. ===== CHAPTER 3391 =====

The prince calmed his emotions and raised his pickaxe again. In his view, mining was the source of happiness; other than when he was being robbed, he was quite happy at all other times.
