Chapter 640: Chapter 416: The Battle of Cliffshore Mountain

The offensive brigade had cleared all obstacles on their way, just as they had seen before–all the Zerg had been recalled, and their direction and purpose were clearly aligned with theirs.

The remaining fifty kilometers were traversed in a forced march without any Zerg interference. The Xuan Turtle Ancestral Tree reached Cliffshore Mountain first, scattering a vast amount of Ancient Tree Crystals, illuminating the Radiance of the Lamp Tree, rapidly dispersing the mist and revealing the true form of Cliffshore Mountain.

The traces where the insect swarm had lingered were clearly visible, even a writhing insect nest was set up above, but now even the Abyssal Insect Race inside the nest had been evacuated.

The swarm had fully converged near the coast, and Su Han could already sense their presence.

“Zhang Xinxin, hold this position.”

Su Han left the words behind, then the Xuan Turtle Ancestral Tree began to move towards the coast.

Liu Rulong arrived at Cliffshore Mountain in a rapid march. Without a second of rest, he immediately bellowed, “Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! Set up the artillery positions, get the missile launchers in place, ready the battery of guns, heavy-armored units build the front-line defensive fortifications, summon your Angel Envoys, and form corps for coordinated combat!”

It was precisely because there were no encounters with the Zerg on the road that Liu Rulong felt even more grim; not encountering them meant there might be a significant threat brewing.

They had to be fully prepared; otherwise, even if Su Han won, they would not be much better off.

“Xichao, set up all Fifth Order forces in the afternoon, Leviathan Specter insects, Alien Armored Insects, Black Armored Battle Insects as the first line of defense, you and Xinxin build the second line of defense, specifically blocking any Fifth Order beast that might appear.”

Seventeen Fifth-Order Trialists, 10 Fifth-Order insects–these were all the Fifth-Order forces participating in this offensive, supported by Sub-Fifth Order Mechanical Heavenly Soldiers who, with the help of mechanical troops, constructed fortifications and formed large groups of Mechanical Giant Spirit Gods.

The twenty-eight constellations were divided into four parts, counted as four.

The Four Mechanical Kings counted as one.

The Azure Dragon and White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise counted as four.

Like a torrent of steel, mechanical troops were constructing metal and artillery interlaced defensive lines on and below the mountains.

Breeding Armor Heavenly Soldiers and Breeding Armor Generals dispersed in small squads at the flanks of the battlefield, ready to launch raids at any moment during battle.

With everything ready, Liu Rulong and his men abruptly looked up, staring in shock towards the coast.

The thick fog in the distance was suddenly scattered by some tremendous force, and the mist surrounding the coast was pushed away from a point at the center by an invisible force, hundreds of meters, thousand meters, tens of thousands of meters…

The mist formed wave-like fluctuations, spreading rapidly outward.

In an instant, the clouds parted to reveal the sun, and the sea and land became wide open; Liu Rulong strained his eyes and saw the hundreds of meters tall Insect Demon which had somehow surfaced on the sea, confronting the Xuan Turtle Ancestral Tree head-on, their formidable auras continuously striking the water and stirring up waves.

The auras they emitted into the sky completely dissipated the mist and continued to extend outward, to the point where even Cliffshore Mountain could faintly feel this terrifying presence.

Swarm after swarm of insects poured out from the sea. In an instant, the lengthy coastline was swarming with tens of millions of insects, which surged toward the shore like waves of black water.

The swarm that had just evacuated was now emerging from deeper underground and the ravines…, bypassing the position where the Xuan Turtle Ancestral Tree stood, and heading straight for Cliffshore Mountain.

They… knew where the human troops were.

The swarm was fast, charging from the coastal direction from left, center, and right, quickly crossing the beachfront in a vast, flood-like inundation.

“Fire missiles.”

Liu Rulong’s voice was steady. They had anticipated the swarm’s arrival, and this was all part of the plan.

They had to tackle the swarm themselves so that Su Han wouldn’t be distracted to help them.

The newly set-up missile launchers pulled up their mounts and fired the missiles out, a line of missiles with trailing flames landing amidst the swarm.

Boom!

Explosions engulfed the insects in flames, and the combined force of the shockwaves and fire created a massive defensive line that spread out for kilometers.

At least hundreds of thousands of insects were Devoured by the flames, their bodies turned into fragments scattering across the battlefield.

However, this spectacle lasted for less than ten minutes before the continuous fire from the missiles and heavy artillery began to warp; they seemed to be swallowed by an invisible vortex and dissipated in the distortion.

In the center of the vortex, the massive forms of the Void Giant Insects appeared–ten Void Giant Insects, accompanied by various other Fifth-Order beasts of different shapes, all incredibly strong, their terrifying presence enveloping the battlefield.

Once the Fifth-Order beasts appeared, the situation on the battlefield underwent a massive change.

Especially the Void Giant Insects; their ability to twist space covered a large area, making many of the incoming artillery shells unable to effectively hit their targets, and the suppressive effect of the artillery fire was instantly reduced by over 50%.

Add to that the large number of Fourth Grade Zerg joining the battlefield at this moment. Compared to the twenty-odd Fifth-Order beasts, their numbers were even greater, surpassing a hundred, and a significant part remained hidden within the swarm, like dangerous needles exuding a perilous aura.

In just over ten minutes, they had already advanced to the border of Cliffshore Mountain, with only four kilometers separating the opposing positions.

“Xichao.”

Liu Rulong gave Zhou Xichao the command, and with a nod, Zhou Xichao rushed down Cliffshore Mountain, heading straight for the swarming insects.
