Chapter 669
by post_apiChapter 669: All Citizens Are Soldiers
Leon Base in Penglai Continent
Lin Hongcong and others witnessed the destruction of the Forward Base and the countless monster army. As cultivators from the immortal cultivation era, Lin Hongcong had participated in the great battles of Yun State. The current monster army is no smaller than it was back then.
"Adult, Elder Zu is trying to talk to you."
Lin Hongcong was distracted and didn’t see Lin Jiang asking him on the big screen.
"Elder Zu, sorry, I was distracted just now."
"Do you remember the great battle in the era of cultivation?"
"Yes."
"How does it feel?"
"It feels very oppressive. We have the support of technological weapons, but the demon clan has also become more cunning. They are mass-producing Demon Insects, numbering in the billions."
Lin Hongcong said. Both sides are progressing and advancing. The human race has developed many technological weapons, but the demon clan has increased their numbers of Demon Insects.
"Yes, everyone is progressing, but our strength is still inferior to the demon clan. Lin Hongcong, your frontline is crucial. The demon clan won’t attack Shen Continent until they eliminate you."
"Ancestor, I will do my best to support."
"One month, let’s set a limit of one month, I will arrange things on my side as quickly as possible."
Lin Jiang said. The Shen Continent has also mobilized. Even the five allied countries have deepened their cooperation with them and started massive mobilization. Many factories have already converted into military enterprises. The longer the time they prepare, the more advantages they will have.
"One month, Ancestor, I promise, I will definitely stick to one month."
"Okay, besides experts, I will give you all my support."
Lin Jiang said. It’s useless to send experts over. Originally, they were not as good as the Demon Clan. The real decisive battle location, Lin Jiang has already set up on the Shen Continent.
·······
At Gray Cloud Mountain, the Demon Clan army appeared north of Gray Cloud Mountain, their huge numbers enough to make people suffocate. From the moment they appeared, missiles kept appearing and bombarding the dense areas of the Demon Clan army. Each missile was enough to take out tens or hundreds of low-level demon beasts.
But this loss was just a drop in the bucket for the Demon Clan. The Demon Queen didn’t even care, the dead demon beasts wouldn’t be wasted, they would immediately be dragged away to become food for other demon beasts.
"The Demon Queen said the human defenses are too long, thousands of kilometers, impossible to defend, we can break it by attacking key points."
"Okay, let’s target weak spots and attack, I can’t wait."
Demon Queen Lin Fanghua said the native inhabitants of Penglai Continent are not strong, as long as they defeat the current enemies, even if they completely take over Penglai Continent, they can then attack Shen Continent.
The demons quickly launched an attack, now they are using Demon Insects very effectively. Demon Insects are numerous and small, they are excellent at depleting enemy weapons and ammunition, and they are very easy to breed. For example, with the Spirit Devouring Demonic Ant, as long as they provide enough food, a queen ant can lay tens of thousands of eggs every day, and they currently have hundreds of queen ants.
"Fire!"
In the base, when they detected the demons moving, Lin Hongcong also ordered to open fire.
However, they soon discovered that conventional weapons were not very effective against Demon Insects, not because they couldn’t be killed, but because they could not be eradicated, there were too many Demon Insects.
"Gas bombs!"
Lin Hongcong quickly used a powerful weapon, the Spirit Devouring Demonic Ant was previously encountered by Zhou Liao. After acquiring the Spirit Devouring Demonic Ant, the humans promptly developed gas bombs specifically to deal with these Demon Insects.
Hundreds of poison bombs were thrown, causing numerous Demon Insects to fall and their attack was instantly broken, with more than half of them being lost.
"Attack strongly, attack in 3D."
The Demon Queen saw this and was not surprised. She never thought that a single Demon Insect could dominate the world, and quickly ordered an attack.
Soon, many agile monsters appeared, like apes and monkeys, with extremely fast speed. At the same time, flying monsters took to the air, filling the sky behind the monster clan.
"Defense in the air, shoot them down."
"Detonate the landmines."
The monsters sent out flying beasts, while the human side activated anti-aircraft weapons. Many anti-aircraft guns and spears appeared, and landmines were detonated against the agile monsters.
Technological weapons have a great killing power against low-level monsters, but they also have weaknesses. For example, spear and cannon barrels need to be replaced after excessive use, resulting in weaker firepower.
Soon, monsters broke through the firepower network, fiercely spraying fire in the air and releasing some magic like wind blades, causing casualties on the human side.
"The Cultivator team kills the monster breaking through the firepower net."
"Cannon Soldier"
"Air Force deployed, drone squadron deployed"
Inside the command room, Lin Hongcong kept giving orders. In fact, these orders were all summarized by artificial intelligence. Based on the battlefield situation, artificial intelligence calculated and issued the best commands.
"Underground, there is a ground worm"
"Be careful"
The monster clan also used various tactics. A huge ground worm dug a tunnel underground, which was only discovered when it reached the front lines and was then slain by the Cultivator.
However, within the tunnel, a large number of Demon Insects appeared once again, densely packed.
In the sky, drones and flying monsters battled, continuously fighting. At every moment, a large number of drones and flying monsters fell, almost annihilating each other.
"One squadron of drones now has only thirty left."
"The second squadron has been wiped out."
The sentence translates to, "Three squadrons still have three hundred planes left."
Different kinds of data kept appearing. There were 500 drones in one squadron, and there were dozens of squadrons in total.
"Command center, command center, there’s an emergency on the Qingyun front line, emergency on the Zhou Liao front line."
Soon, Lin Hongcong received news that both the Qingyun and Zhou Liao fronts were in trouble. The front line was divided into three parts, with each of the three kingdoms responsible for one part. When the war started, it was a test of the strength of each country. Obviously, the other two countries were not as strong as Huaxia. Not long after the war began, they came asking for help.
Lin Hongcong didn’t dare to don’thing, immediately instructed the artificial intelligence to calculate firepower and send some long-range firepower to support.
"Command center, the bomber squadron has arrived."
After a while, the artificial intelligence sent a message that the bomber squadron had arrived.
Drones are very useful, but they also have their shortcomings. For example, they carry very little ammunition, and the bombs they carry can only be light. They can’t handle heavy bombs that weigh several tons.
"Release the missiles."
Lin Hongcong gave the order directly. At this time, the bombers were flying tens of thousands of meters in the sky, and the demons really hadn’t considered this.
"Be careful."
"Follow me and stop."
When the missiles appeared, the Demon Queen spotted them first. Instead of dodging them, she flew up into the sky to intercept the missiles. Many missiles exploded in the air, and not even the bombers could escape the Demon Queen’s grasp.
"Hateful."
Seeing how fierce the Demon Queen was, Lin Hongcong was filled with anger too. If the demon clan didn’t intervene, this whole squadron of bombers could easily kill at least a few million demon beasts.
As the Demon Queen’s killing spree continued after dealing with the bombers, she then charged towards the frontline. Lin Hongcong immediately reinforced the defense formation and activated weapons to kill the Demon Queen.
In an instant, dozens of Spiritual Cannon bullets shot towards the Demon Queen, exploding upon impact with great speed and no concern for accuracy within their range.
These Spiritual Cannons couldn’t directly threaten the Demon Queen, but they could deplete her demonic power in large numbers.
"talisman array"
As the Demon Queen prepared to attack the defensive formation, a giant light sword appeared within the formation, aiming at her. This talisman array, crafted by Lin Jiang, consisted of over a hundred sixth-level new style talismans merged into a single attack, wielding the power of a seventh-level strike.
The Demon Queen clashed with the light sword repeatedly until its energy was depleted. She quickly retreated, realizing the dangerous gap in her instincts.
"Hmph, you got lucky escaping."
Lin Hongcong sneered, knowing that if the Demon Queen had broken through, a nuclear warhead awaited her. Even the Demon Queen would suffer significant damage in the blast center.
"My lord, the demon clan has retreated."
"Reform the line, rest up, the war is far from over."
Lin Hongcong nodded as the attack from the demon clan came to a stop. He ordered the people on the defense line to rest up quickly and replenish their weapons and ammunition. He knew that this war would last a long time.
