Chapter 482 The War Between Living Beings and Monsters (4K)_2
"And facing this war, I believe everyone was already prepared, now, it is just a matter of fighting."
Of course there was mental preparation.
Ever since they had set off for the Shattered Isles Warzone, they had been prepared to face the powerful beings of Dragon Sleep Valley.
It was their own choice, and no one regretted it.
However, despite this, some Frontier Lords and Pioneers still could not help feeling uneasy.
The infamy of Dragon Sleep Valley was too great, even the Great War Zone could only maintain a defensive stance.
Here, Sword Lord Liushi, who could be considered a mainstay of their forces, had left not long before.
However,
Lord Tianyuan and Lord of Ba Long, these young men were full of fighting spirit, and these old folks couldn't let themselves be outdone.
"Let's fight!"
...
Thanks to the calm before, the entire Shattered Isles Warzone construction was nearly complete.
The warzone had one Core Fortress.
'War Fortress (Epic)'
'First-tier Controller: Tianyuan'
'Second-tier Controllers: Green Mountain, Rain Dust, Broken Rock'
'Description: A war fortress that integrates various functions in one place, containing a small town-sized area within, equipped with a small Teleportation Array, and possessing 108 types of defensive weapons. (Base configuration)'
The advantage of the War Fortress was that the Controller could establish various Miracle Buildings within it, and these buildings would become an integral part of the fortress.
The more buildings there were, the stronger the fortress became.
The stronger the fortress, the more robust the buildings became.
The War Fortress was almost the foundation of the entire Pioneer Warzone.
The War Fortress not only had high defensive capabilities, but its interior could also operate autonomously.
In the history of Tai Xuan, many Pioneer Warzones that faced great calamities ultimately survived by staunchly defending their War Fortresses.
Mu Yuan envied the sight of the War Fortress.
On the Taixuan Covenant, there were even such War Fortresses available for Exploration Generals to exchange.
Unfortunately, let alone his merits, he hadn't reached the Exploration General level (Seven-Star Level), and even if he had, he felt he couldn't afford it.
Tianyuan City needed too many Contribution Points for too many things.
He had a thousand or two 'almost legendary' beings needing support at home.
Rather than thinking about exchanging, he'd rather look forward to fighting a beautiful battle to receive the gifts from nature and heaven.
Handling a battle zone like his to fight the filth, as long as he could win, he would receive extremely generous gifts from nature and heaven. Otherwise, why would everyone desire to be a battle zone commander?
Heaven and earth recorded contributions, and the commander naturally accounted for the largest share.
...
Besides this one Core Fortress, the Shattered Isles Warzone also had two defense lines, totaling 36 guarding camps, and over a hundred ordinary forward bases.
Inside the Core Fortress, apart from the base configuration, the Alliance had also sent a large number of Miracle Buildings and special items for construction.
Mu Yuan had approved one recruitment application after another.
At this time,
Recruitment Area for troops, East Zone.
The Lord of Ba Long arrived at the Strong Shooter Camp, and tossed the recruitment order inside it.
The next moment, bursts of radiance erupted from within the Strong Shooter Camp, seeming both green and blue.
A total of a hundred archers dressed in light armor, carrying war bows slung diagonally across their backs, whether agile and nimble or broad-limbed and robust, continuously emerged from the place of recruitment, and lined up in front of the Lord of Ba Long.
Their gazes were somewhat dull, lacking Spiritual Wisdom, but their presence was not weak, the least being at the Second-order elite level.
Among them, a few stood out from the crowd, their equipment and presence a notch above the surrounding Strong Shooters.
The leader even reached the Four-order level, had his gaze not been so dull, based solely on appearance, he almost seemed like a veteran of many years on the battlefield.
"The shipment is out."
The Lord of Ba Long licked his lips,"Although these specially recruited troops cannot grow stronger or leave the battle zone, they will be new forces in the city defense battle. The stronger they are, the greater our chances of holding the fort."
"The troops are now assembled, next, we face the enemy head-on."
"At the time in the Longshan Pass Great War Zone, my power was insignificant, only capable of holding the forts within the city; what I could do was very limited. However, now, I, Ba Long, am also a Camp's commanding officer, my power will be a significant weight on the scale in defeating Dragon Sleep Valley."
"Old friend, it's time to fight."
"Let's go."
The lingering light of the setting sun stretched the shadows of the group.
Battalions left the fortress, swiftly heading for distant locations.
...
"Camp One has entered a state of war."
At the camp's high tower, Rakshasa stood alone, gazing into the horizon where the red mist gradually appeared and became clear.
Before him, warriors were arrayed.
The elite Undead from Tianyuan City, along with a group of battle Zone troops, stood silent in anticipation.
It was like the oppressive silence under dark clouds.
…
"Camp Two has entered a state of war."
At the center of the camp, inside a 'well'-shaped bunker, Seventeen sat quietly.
A bow hovered in front of her, surrounded by tens of thousands of arrows.
She was the chief commander of the forces defending Camp Two.
…
"Camp Three has entered a state of war."
Xie Yi lit a cigarette, inspecting the camp which he had been setting up and building for the past several days.
Even though the enemy they faced this time was unimaginably strong,
But...
He looked around at the large-caliber cannons perched on the city walls and platforms, at the distant Strongstrike Turrets glittering with Thundric light, and the Sky Weapons hanging in the air.
He had never fought such a well-equipped battle before.
"Damn it, let's smash all these monsters!"
...
"Camps Four and Five are ready."
Green Mountain Lord spoke.
Then he looked towards Tianyuan.
Of the thirty-six garrison camps, Tianyuan City was solely responsible for three.
Not only that, but they were the first three numbers, the most dangerous, and they would be the first to directly face the army from Dragon Sleep Valley.
Moreover, Uta, the strongest in Tianyuan, was not even among these three camps, but was leading a rescue team, prepared to assist the critical battlefields.
When the battle zones were initially divided, Green Mountain had refused Tianyuan taking responsibility for the three camps.
It was too dangerous.
Spreading their strength so thin could lead to the camps being overrun, which would affect an entire battle zone.
Only, when the Frontier Lords and Pioneer Teams were assigning zones, it became apparent that every area lacked sufficient defense forces; Tianyuan Lord taking on three major zones was risky, yet it was a necessary choice.
Some camps, manned by multiple Lords and teams, might have appeared stronger on paper than those in Tianyuan, but these camps' forces were not as well-coordinated in defense, and their ability to withstand disasters was actually inferior to camps managed by a single Lord.
And it was resilience that the foremost camps needed most.
Tianyuan Army...
At this point, all they could do was hope they could hold the line.
Green Mountain Lord himself also was responsible for three camps, but besides being number four and five, another was camp twenty-nine, a second-line camp.
His main forces were concentrated in the first two.
'Camp Four is not far from camps one and three; if necessary, I will take some pressure off the Tianyuan Army.'
He thought to himself.
At this time, outside the camps that were numbered early on, one could already see in the distance the Red Mist surging, floating like clouds.
As the Monster Tide advanced, spreading pollution across the land, the Red Mist slowly seeped into this 'Land of Miracles' within the battle zone.
This was a war between living beings and monsters.
It was also a war between miracles and corruption.
The war had begun.
Like raindrops falling, first one or two, sparsely hitting the ground, leaving marks. Soon after, the raindrops came faster, and in the blink of an eye, it was a pouring rain, rushing down.
"Thunderous rumble—!"
Thunder roared.
Outside Camp One, there were already numerous monster corpses.
Some had been killed by a single arrow, others pierced by crossbows, others shattered by cannon fire.
They were just the scattered vanguard.
Further away, monsters like a tide trampled the earth, like a chain of crimson mountains stretching.
A red gleam shone from behind the Monster Tide.
The next moment,
a thick crimson beam pierced heaven and earth, striking across dozens of miles, sweeping horizontally.
The downpour, as if the heavens themselves were pouring, fell.
