Chapter 593: Chapter 283: The Hidden Dagger Revealed (Part 2)
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The firepower of the Titan Giant Mechanism descended like divine punishment. Every shell that landed caused a violent explosion; airwaves whirled, and debris flew, shattering large swathes of Blood Demons into fragments!
Just one round of salvo demolished over ten thousand Blood Demon minions above the Warrior Tier!
And this was far from over!
"Activate the ’Ring of Flame Trenches’ plan."
Aurora’s calm voice transmitted from the control room, and almost simultaneously, a massive sound of gears turning resonated from the forests surrounding the city base. The ground suddenly cracked open, revealing deeply buried pipes.
In the next instant, dark red thermal nuclear waste gushed out, quickly spreading along the pre-designed tracks. These wastes, perpetually emitting high temperatures, immediately ignited the prepared flammable materials and caused the flames to spread at an extremely rapid speed, turning into a raging inferno in just a few breaths!
In a flash, flames soared into the sky, heat waves churned, countless Blood Demons were engulfed by the flames, letting out terrifying screams as they carbonized rapidly under the intense heat!
What was even more amazing was that this great fire spread as if calculated, forming a ring of flames in the distant mountains and fields of the city base, isolating the further away Blood Demons!
This scene surprised Chu Xiu and Meng Xuanshu slightly.
The nearby forests were large enough for the fire to burn for hours. Before that, the Blood Demons would have to pay a huge price to cross it! And the continuous radiation and heat release of the thermal nuclear waste further increased the difficulty of crossing this barrier!
And Aurora’s voice continued to echo:
"Activate the Spider Mine Plan!"
"Activate the Minos Labyrinth Plan!"
"Activate the Lava Fountain Plan!"
"Activate..."
As the commands were issued, the forest began to tremble violently. Blazes soared up, and huge explosions sounded as if to overturn the earth’s surface.
"Kill!"
At this moment, a cry of battle burst forth. After the Blood Demon Legion was isolated by the fire, a multitude of Awakened emerged sharply from the Titan Giant Mechanism like unsheathed blades!
They formed into squads, each battle-hardened and well-configured, swiftly clearing out the remnants of Blood Demons in the wake of the Titan Giant Mechanism’s bombardment. The soldiers who followed moved quickly, transporting parts and re-establishing automated turrets, forcefully reclaiming the defense line that had been breached by the Blood Demons!
"Interesting."
Meng Xuanshu stroked his chin as he observed the sudden change in the battlefield.
Though the people here were not of high tiers, under this survival pressure, they constantly racked their brains for self-preservation strategies, unleashing a power he had not anticipated, and indeed repelling the Blood Demon attack.
Though he hadn’t fully grasped the human defense plans here, he had roughly estimated them. Although it exceeded his expectations, it wasn’t that astonishing.
The two things that truly surprised him were different.
One was that although he had clearly seen the Titan Giant Mechanism had multiple hidden cannons not yet unleashed, he now realized these cannons were far more powerful than he had anticipated!
"These cannons all contain extraordinary power...This mysterious combination is definitely not something the Awakened here could achieve."
The other point was that the precision of these cannons also exceeded his calculations.
Heavy weaponry, when facing the extraordinary, has a significant problem with hit accuracy. A blanket of fire approach must be adopted, leading to great firepower waste and an inability to effectively target elite units.
Originally, even if the cannon power exceeded estimates, Meng Xuanshu did not think the Awakened here could withstand the Blood Demons’ advance, let alone counterattack and reclaim the position.
But now, he found the Titan Giant Mechanism seemed controlled by a super-computer, wasting no shot’s destructive range, rapidly reducing the number of Blood Demons within the fire ring beyond his expectations!
"It must be that Mechanician, but when did her control become so precise?"
Meng Xuanshu looked towards the mountain, and the mechanical eye behind him blinked, instantly shifting perspectives, directly penetrating the mountain’s interior.
The Mythical Equipment[Celestial Derivation Silver Gaze], specially crafted for the Civilization Envoy by the gods of the Celestial Derivation Civilization.
With this artifact, coupled with certain exclusive skills, the Civilization Envoy of the Celestial Derivation Civilization could possess extremely strong reconnaissance abilities.
Now, Aurora sitting on the throne of coolant came directly into Meng Xuanshu’s view.
"A device somehow connected with the ’Titan Giant Mechanism’ and expanded her control area..."
Similarly, this device did not appear to be something the Awakened here could create.
Could it be...
"Were all these engineered by that guy Qin Yu?"
At this thought, Meng Xuanshu couldn’t help but furrow his brow.
Practicing on three paths simultaneously, yet having the spare time to refine artifacts?
Moreover, under the scrutiny of his Mythical Equipment, the ’Celestial Derivation Silver Gaze,’ the data on Chu Xiu was clear as day; he could be sure that the other party was very young, not a strength accumulated over time.
But is such a genius even possible in this world?
For a moment, Meng Xuanshu found it hard to believe. Even for him, a Civilization Envoy of a Tenth-level Civilization, it was unimaginable.
This stirred an uncontrollable surge of killing intent within him.
"Such a genius must be strangled personally."
A cruel smile crept onto Meng Xuanshu’s lips. Though the current situation exceeded his expectations, it didn’t matter.
The opponent had trump cards, but didn’t he have his own?
