Chapter 504: Chapter 493 Confused
They discovered that Xu Lingjun possessed such mysterious powers.
Han Yun City acted with even more purpose.
Aiming specifically at those massive weapons at the very rear with the strongest power...
Rainbow Cannon, Decomposition Cannon, Light Speed Cannon, Satellite Cannon, and all kinds of powerful weapons were their targets.
Especially after cooperating twice...
Their actions became more skillful and fluid.
The strength of Han Yun City was already infinitely close to that of a Grandmaster.
And Xu Lingjun’s strength was even enough to rival Sun Bumie, a very strong Grandmaster.
The two of them teamed up, hiding in the shadows, quietly launching sneak attacks...
Especially when the war was at its most intense, the atmosphere of the entire battlefield was almost at its peak.
Not to mention the distant Demon Beasts, even the Baoxue Empire warriors who were close at hand did not notice... after all, it’s not uncommon for weapons to suddenly stop firing during a battle.
How can there be a war without casualties?
But gradually...
As time passed, not to mention the warriors charging forward, even the Demon Beasts at the forefront noticed something was off.
The severe firepower that could suppress everything was gradually weakening.
Even more, it was weakening at an incredibly inconceivable speed.
In two years...
The Baoxue Empire and the Demon Beasts within the Secret Realm had fought more than a hundred battles, but now with the smooth advance of the Baoxue Empire.
Step by step, they advanced at a very stable speed, and it was almost rare to see living Demon Beasts at the rear, which also led to very few attacks from the rear... the artillerymen could fire at those Demon Beasts with confidence.
But this degree of weakening, even when they initially decided to declare war on the Secret Realm, perhaps the casualties were not so great.
"What’s going on, go back to the rear and check what’s happening."
General Carlos of the Baoxue Empire turned back and shouted to his trusted guard: "If the firepower support is insufficient, we will be torn to pieces by these Demon Beasts. I don’t care what is going on, in three minutes, three minutes I want the fire suppression completed!"
"Yes!"
The man responded.
Then quickly rushed towards the rear...
Passing by the silhouettes of the continuously charging warriors.
It should be known that the charge speed of the Demon Beasts is really too fast...
If they are not held back by strong Martial Artists, the artillery fire simply cannot stop their steps.
But how can relying solely on human Martial Artists counter the fiercest Demon Beasts?
They were really piling up lives...
But if the firepower cannot provide cover, even piling lives up cannot help.
Seeing the heavy casualties... if the fire cannot be restored, this well-planned war, which seemed like a sure victory, might end in failure instead.
This logic does not even require profound knowledge of warfare to understand.
The guard rushed all the way, moving very fast, obviously understanding well that time is life amidst the flames of war.
But when he reached the rear...
He couldn’t help but be dumbfounded.
He had imagined many possibilities.
Demon Beast sneak attack?
Weapon jam?
Or maybe the warriors suffered heavy casualties, leaving no one to operate the weapons...
Various possibilities.
But no matter how divergent the guard’s thinking was, he couldn’t have thought the truth was actually...
All the artillerymen were already lying dead, which wasn’t entirely unexpected for him.
But the weapons?
How were the weapons gone?
Those cumbersome weapons that almost entirely relied on mechanical transport were stolen?
A cold wind blew through...
The guard shivered uncontrollably, feeling this desolate position was so empty and vacant.
What on earth happened... yet even they didn’t know.
He rushed to the monitoring room at once, only to find all the monitors had been destroyed.
And the previously remaining surveillance showed nothing abnormal... only seeing people die suddenly, then after a halo appeared, the weapons were gone.
"What the hell is this thing?"
The guard Losen couldn’t help but widen his eyes, murmuring in shock.
At this moment, the abnormality noticed by humans...
The Demon Beasts naturally also noticed it...
Though they didn’t know what exactly happened.
But they clearly sensed the suppression from the enemy weakening.
Seizing the opportunity to take lives...
All the Demon Beasts immediately became agitated.
Amidst the frenzied roars.
Countless black shadows surged out, instantly tearing through the previously impenetrable line of defense, directly shredding the Baoxue Empire warriors at the front line to pieces.
Carlos frantically screamed for support, support!
Ceaselessly urging the warriors at the rear to charge forward...
But the following artillery fire just couldn’t keep up.
The originally impenetrable line was now missing a crucial part bit by bit.
Especially when Carlos heard the message returned by the guard...
"What? The weapons... have... disappeared?!"
Carlos cried out: "Where’s Leidun? Wasn’t he responsible for guarding the rear? Did he just watch the weapons get taken away... wait... how did they manage to take the weapons away?"
"I haven’t seen any sign of General Leidun."
The guard Losen looked extremely grim, saying: "I’m afraid something happened to General Leidun."
"To even make something happen to General Leidun, these Demon Beasts must have been plotting for a long time, damn... could these creatures actually be playing the trick of luring the enemy in deeply?"
Carlos clearly misunderstood something.
But to even catch a Grandmaster Realm Martial Artist off guard... besides these cunning Demon Beasts, who else in the Secret Realm could have this power?
The Great Xia Empire?
Those simple-minded folk are still desperately resisting the mysterious races of the heavens, laughably oblivious to the real threat, which actually comes from within.
Though the Great Xia Empire’s military might is strong now, long fights will eventually lead to fatigue, and as long as they can secure the Secret Realm, the entire Great Xia Empire will fall into the hands of their Baoxue Empire... then the Polar Star Battlefield created will ultimately become their spoils of war!
But now they have lost the most crucial weapons in this critical battle.
The originally certain victory has instantly turned into a possibility of defeat.
Carlos’s pupils contracted, exclaiming: "Retreat quickly, preserving the living force is the proper principle... retreat!"
Previously, they could win, naturally even at the cost of lives.
But now it’s already a certain defeat...
So, it is necessary to retain the living forces and then quickly organize a new round of attacks.
Otherwise, new weapons will arrive, but the personnel won’t keep up.
The population of their Baoxue Empire is still significantly less than that of the Great Xia Empire, how can they withstand such an almost wasteful battle?
Once the order to retreat is given.
The previously evenly matched sides suddenly became drastically different in strength.
During the retreat...
Numerous Baoxue Empire generals were torn to shreds by the Demon Beasts, and those who were a step slow in escaping were tragically killed by the Demon Beasts.
Even those who escaped too quickly might become targets for those Demon Beasts, being plucked into the sky by flying creatures.
Only by escaping amidst the crowd can there be a slight hope of survival.
Carlos, being already at the back, naturally fled the fastest...
Only during the flight, his mind was still puzzlingly confused.
What on earth... happened?
How did the weapons just vanish?
Where’s Leidun?
The distinguished Grandmaster Level expert ranked seventeenth on the Saint List...
How did he disappear so silently?
