Chapter 791 - General Attack, Commence!
Chapter 791: General Attack, Commence!
After the exploration team reported that they had rescued hundreds of missing explorers and figured out more than 70% of the terrain of the Hidden Mist Domain, including the sinkhole, the headquarters also sent good news to the exploration team.
The Dragon City Army would complete their gathering and cannon preparations 72 hours earlier than planned.
A full-scale attack would be launched within three days.
In order to take down the ultimate nest of the monster civilization in the depths of the Hidden Mist Domain with a thunderous momentum, Dragon City’s civilization went all out.
More than 30 Deity Realm experts from the mega corporations, the six universities, and the Red Dragon Army.
Nearly 100,000 superhumans were mobilized by the Supernatural Tower, the nine mega corporations, the Hunter’s Association, Battle God Palace, Broken Star Club, and Blue Home.
The million-strong cavalry from the Red Dragon Army were armed to the teeth with power armor, armored airships, and railway guns.
There were also thinking war trucks and armed drones that were ten times more numerous.
This was a flood of steel that had never appeared in Monster Mountain Range in the past 10,000 years.
After learning that the human towns deep in the sinkhole were already desolate ruins, the last obstacle before the general attack had been cleared.
Meng Chao and the other explorers only needed to stay at the relatively safe vantage point in the Hidden Mist Domain to carry out the last mission—observe the bombing effect and provide precise guidance for the long-range firepower.
…
Three days later, at five o’clock in the morning.
The first crystal cannonball was like a blazing rainbow, cutting through the sky that was still shrouded in darkness, plunging into the depths of the mountains southeast of the Hidden Mist Domain.
With a deafening boom, spirit flames hundreds of meters high spurted out of the depths of the mountains like a super-giant fountain that was colorful enough to change the color of the sky.
It was a weather interference bomb.
In the past three days, with the help of Bread Crabs and Peregrine Falcons, the exploration team had carefully explored the areas with the densest spirit energy in the Hidden Mist Domain. They had determined the direction of hundreds of crystal veins and the mountains with the richest crystal reserves.
After the tremendous data was transmitted to the rear, the geologists, mining experts, and meteorologists would work together to “consult” and figure out the distribution of the underground lodes and the relationship between them and the extreme climate above the ground. They would then calculate precisely… how to interfere with the spirit magnetic field of the crystal lodes in order to temporarily eliminate the influence of the extreme weather.
As expected, the mountain southeast of the Hidden Mist Domain was originally covered in dark clouds, thunder, and torrential rain.
At that moment, the spirit flames spurting out from the depths of the mountain had dispelled all the dark clouds on the mountaintop.
The lightning that was baring its fangs and brandishing its claws like a flood dragon had turned into dried earthworms and vanished soundlessly.
Even the dark sky seemed to have been pierced through by the spirit flames, revealing the first ray of brilliant morning sun.
It was the first weather interference bomb.
Meng Chao, Lu Siya, Long Feijun, and the other members of the exploration team were scattered at dozens of high points in the Hidden Mist Domain. All of them had activated their super vision, and with the help of the observation instruments, they reported the effects of the explosions and the interference to the rear in real time.
Under their guidance, the weather jamming bombs were more and more precise and targeted.
By adjusting the composition of the crystals inside the bombs in time, the bombs resonated with the crystal veins at the point of impact, spurting out more and more ‘fountains of spirit energy’ from all directions.
Meng Chao had never seen such a magnificent scene.
He was surrounded by hundreds of spirit flames as if he was bathing in a magnificent aurora.
The sky that was covered in dark clouds and lightning turned into an unstable spirit ocean.
Hundreds of colorful swirls were slowly rotating above his head.
Sensing the drastic changes in the magnetic field of heaven and earth, his vitality magnetic field had also undergone subtle changes.
In the past six months, the spirit magnetic field that Lei Zongchao, the Battle God, had poured into his body had been integrated into his body unconsciously. It was like a gene fragment that had been implanted into his bloodline.
Meng Chao was fully focused. It was as if he was breathing and beating at the same time with the entire world, and he had completely forgotten about time.
When all the whirlpools and spirit seas had disappeared, what appeared before the exploration team was a clear sky that was as clear as a sheet of jade.
There were no more dark clouds, no raindrops, and no thunderbolts in the sky above the Hidden Mist Domain within a hundred square kilometers.
“The magnetic field of the planet has stabilized
“More than half of the violent spirit energy in the crystal veins has been released for the time being. The interference of the superhumans, the war machines, and the communication equipment has been reduced by at least 70%.
“The Hidden Mist Domain is now very suitable for the mechanized army of human beings to launch!”
All the superhumans were very sensitive to the magnetic field of a planet.
It was especially so for the “sensitive ones” like Lu Siya. She activated the magnetic levitation force and hovered in the air for three minutes. Then, she waved at Meng Chao and the others in surprise and delight. “The weather interference battle is a success!”
Right now, the Hidden Mist Domain was like a defeated soldier who had abandoned his armor. Faced with the sharpest saber of Dragon City’s civilization, all the fatal wounds were exposed at a glance.
Tens of thousands of cannons fired at the same time from dozens of miles away were like thousands of invisible horses galloping, making the hearts of Meng Chao and the other explorers both excited and numb.
Soon, dozens, hundreds, and thousands of thin red lines that were burning like meteors tore half of the sky and drew a beautiful arc, precisely falling into the thickest jungle in the Hidden Mist Domain, the place most likely to hide the lair of monsters.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The Hidden Mist Domain instantly turned into a sea of fire. No, it was a hundred sea of fire.
All the mountains seemed to have turned into roaring active volcanoes.
The towering trees that were covered in a strange Green Tide twisted strangely in the raging flames and screamed shrilly.
The surrounding temperature suddenly increased by dozens of lines. Even the superhumans who were outside of the explosion range, who had been tempered thousands of times, felt a faint burning pain on their skin.
Indeed, there were many monsters lurking in the depths of the jungle, trying to jump out and carry out suicide attacks when the human army went deep into the jungle.
However, due to the gap in the level of civilization, they had never dreamed that the tactics of the humans would be so… unreasonable.
Even Meng Chao could not help but secretly click his tongue when the bombardment continued for three hours without showing any signs of weakening.
After his rebirth, Dragon City’s ammunition reserves and firepower were at least five times more ferocious than the same period in the memory fragments of his previous life.
This was the complete form of an ‘alternate natural disaster!’
However, because of the most comprehensive and accurate mapping of the Hidden Mist Domain, the seemingly ferocious bombardment was not really random.
Under the guidance of Meng Chao and the others, the eight heavy artillery positions dozens of miles away had perfectly avoided the mountain region that stored high energy crystal ore veins. They had also blasted out four offensive tunnels that connected the inside and outside of the Hidden Mist Domain.
The swamps, plants, and monsters that might lurk behind the plants around the offensive tunnels were all blasted into charcoal and powder. Nothing could stop the surging tide of human steel.
When the long-range artillery fire that had been going on for an entire day and night finally came to an end, the next to enter the battlefield was not the ground troops.
Instead…
“Look, armored airships!”
In the depths of a scorched, steamy jungle, Lu Siya pointed at the red-hot sky and shouted at Meng Chao.
Meng Chao narrowed his eyes and looked at the continuous undulating mountains, where one, two, ten, a hundred, and countless small black dots had appeared.
Machinery roared, spirit flames surged, and true energy swirled around. Nothing could represent the wisdom, courage, and romance of the Earthlings who had transmigrated to another world more than these majestic steel gods and demons—armored airships.
Thousands of armored airships advanced slowly and steadily.
Gradually, they covered the entire sky.
They were like an inescapable net made of steel, pressing down toward the Hidden Mist Domain.
Although they did not have the height and speed of supersonic fighter jets, the armored airships could maintain a constant low-altitude cruise, using Vulcan cannons and crystal bombs to launch precise strikes on targets on the ground.
They began to fill in the gaps and launch a new round of carpet bombing in areas that could not be covered by long-range firepower.
Many snakes, insects, rats, ants, and other monsters that were good at burrowing into the ground had already burrowed underground in time before the heavy cannons fired, avoiding the first round of indiscriminate bombing.
The new round of bombardments caused them to completely collapse. They thought that humans could summon endless destructive power.
They were disoriented and climbed out of the ground crazily, trying to jump onto the armored airships that were flying close to the ground.
The result was naturally that they were torn into pieces by the crossfire of the nearby armored airships.
Until this moment, steel ropes hung down from the thousands of armored airships.
Countless heavy infantrymen in heavy power armor descended through the ropes, representing Dragon City’s iron cavalry and breaking through the last line of defense of the monster civilization.
In the depths of the forest that had been burned to ashes, there were actually some Green Tides and blood-patterned flowers that were constantly splitting, growing, and squirming. They carried the similarly burnt monster carcasses and attempted to transform into the form of undead creatures to continue fighting.
However, undead creatures were not truly immortal.
After being roasted by thousands of degrees of heat and ravaged by the shockwaves, most of the corpses of the monsters had been turned into fingernail-sized pieces.
Even if their appearance was intact, the bones and shells that supported their bodies were often burnt to a crisp. No matter how the Green Tides and Blood Flowers wrapped around and covered them, they were like mud that could not be supported up to the wall.
Even if there were some monsters that were “gifted”, they would not die even after being bombarded by humans for a day and a night, or they would die very gracefully. Their bodies were still intact and tough enough to be reborn as undead creatures.
Facing the human soldiers whose every inch of their skin was protected by the nano combat suit, the fully-enclosed chemical protection suit, and the heavy-duty power armor, their claws, mycelium, and moss could not be used at all.
First, they used rocket launchers and grenade launchers to bombard the human soldiers, then they repeatedly whipped the corpses with grenades. Next, they used flame launchers to clean up the scene. If they found traces of blood spores and Green Tides, they would spray a strong disinfectant once more.
After a series of crazy operations, even if they possessed both the characteristics of plant cells and animal cells, the dominators of the cells would not be able to steal any living space from the humans.
