Chapter 370: The Powers Move Out
Chapter 370: The Powers Move Out
Somewhere underground covered by the black tide of human ants.
This is the headquarters of the Human Ant Guild, the battlefield of all living beings.
A pitch-black battle flag was erected in the corner. As a strategic-level prop of the guild, this ultimate-level battle flag could block prying eyes and divination and conceal the location of the command center.
In the empty underground, there was a special long table several dozen meters long in the middle, with hundreds of players from the guild sitting on both sides.
The vice president reported to all members: "The genetic infection plan has been completed before the expedition. All 11 million residents of the Eighth Fortress have been infected and degenerated into human ants. The efforts made by the guild last time have not been in vain. Currently, there are 20 million people living inside the Ninth Fortress, the first priority target. The war has entered the preparation stage."
All the players were full of confidence. The last time they came, the president suppressed everyone's impatience with his absolute leadership. He planned for a whole year and secretly polluted dozens of water sources in the fortress.
When the battle officially began, overnight, millions of people degenerated into low-intelligence human-ant monsters and became cannon fodder for the guild to attack cities and capture strongholds.
Players from other camps in the Eighth Fortress could only flee. After all, the Human Ant Guild not only had tens of millions of cannon fodders, but also had the Ant King, a silver-power-level president. As the strongest adventure group in the silver stage of the battlefield of all living beings, the Human Ant Guild had always cooperated frequently with the Dinosaur Club.
At the head of the long table, the president, who was famous for his strength and defense that surpassed the silver class, suddenly spoke.
"I received a message from the Dinosaur Tyrant. Nearly 500 players in the Ninth Fortress have been wiped out, and it has been less than two hours. If nothing unexpected happens, the other side should also have powerful life forms. Before the other side's status drops sharply, the main force of the guild should not show up. What we want is the final victory, not a mere grudge."
The Ant King was so cautious that it was inconsistent with his own powerful strength, but the guild members were already used to it.
"How long will it take to take down the inversion level?" asked the Ant King.
The vice president looked at the leader of the strategic team, who gave the answer: "Tomorrow morning at the latest, two hours at the earliest."
The ant king nodded and made the final decision: "Then go all out and capture the Upside Down Pass. The road to the Ninth Fortress will be undefended. Don't worry about casualties, there are still 20 million cannon fodder waiting for us."
"Understood." Everyone answered.
……
January 1, the sixth year of the Kaituo calendar.
The sky is filled with dark clouds and everything is bleak.
On the plains, human ants surged in like a tide, or as if an endless black bush was moving rapidly. The sound of dense friction between their keratinous shells was buzzing, and even the Dawn Intelligence could not determine the exact number for a moment.
"The minimum number is eight million."
“Generally, they are ordinary creatures of the Bronze Age.”
"The physical fitness of a single human ant exceeds that of a standard human by 40%, and its intelligence is estimated to be relatively low."
Dawn Intelligence sends intelligence to Dawn people who serve as battalion and regiment leaders at all levels.
More than 10,000 people from the First Division of the Second Corps now entered Diandaoguan and launched the first round of defensive operations.
Jiang He stared into the distance with a frown on his face. He patrolled the sky above the plain but failed to find the enemy's command node. According to Dawn's analysis, the best solution was to use a hard top. This would be a protracted war of attrition, and even the overlord would find it difficult to overturn the situation in one go.
"Then we can fight and develop at the same time."
Jiang He thought to himself that he was not in a hurry anyway, as the Dawn and the horde of evil spirits behind him had just entered the right track of development. Moreover, the corpses of the human ants could be used to breed dinosaurs, or to absorb the rare extraordinary factors of the human ants, which would accumulate to nourish an extraordinary outbreak.
Heavy machine guns were arrayed on the top of the city walls, and there were hundreds of millions of bullets in the arsenal, which was the result of six years of development. The soldiers picked up their old AK rifles and aimed forward. Although they were terrified, the vicious squad leader had already established his absolute authority.
after an hour.
The unique fishy smell of human ants mixed with the strong wind, blew over the top of the city, and brought the war to the Upside Down Pass.
The enemy was two hundred meters away from the city wall. The corps commander, Ah Qi, raised his hand and shouted, "Fire!"
Da da da!
Dozens of heavy machine guns vented a metal storm, and chains of fire fell from the top of the city. Bullets tore through the human ants' shells, shattered their flesh and blood, and left behind corpses. The human ants who replaced them quickly crushed the bodies of their companions and continued to move forward quickly, fearless of life and death.
A second lieutenant was struggling to operate a heavy machine gun. The vibrations from the overlapping bullets made his whole body tremble. The barrel of the gun gradually turned red. The corporal assisting him saw this and immediately untied his belt and sprinkled some cool water, which made a sizzling sound as the water evaporated.
boom!
A bullet flew out of the black tide and killed the lieutenant. The sniper among the human ants immediately bent down and hid among their companions. Most of the gene-infected people were beast-like killers, but a small number of them could retain their sanity, but they could not avoid becoming pseudo-people who were keen on killing.
The chains of fire crisscrossed, sweeping down rows of human ants.
At some point, this group of humanoids suddenly charged.
Dozens of heavy machine guns fired cross-fire, but the human ants continued to attack one after another. The stench of broken corpses mixed with gunpowder smoke was extremely pungent.
The human ant in the front had already reached the foot of the city wall. The outer limbs of its arms popped out and pierced into the wall like sharp blades. It climbed up quickly, but the next moment, its bloodthirsty eyes saw a figure sticking out from the top of the city wall. With a bang, a bullet pierced its head.
The human ants fell to the ground and hit their own kind on the heads, but their numbers seemed to remain unchanged. They all attacked the pass frantically. A considerable number of human ants simply destroyed the city walls directly, and countless human ants covered the top of the city with firepower.
The death toll on both sides is rising sharply.
Until the walls were covered with human ants, Jiang He jumped directly into the ant tide in front, and the black sun field unfolded.
A black sun rose, and a violent devouring force roared within a radius of 550 meters. Human ants took off on the spot, including tens of thousands of corpses.
More than 30,000 people were annihilated in the black sun.
The battlefield, which was originally filled with dark shadows, suddenly had a large open space.
The defenders on the city wall got a respite, the Second Division came up to relieve the guard, and the overheated heavy machine guns were re-positioned.
Da da da.
The sound of bullets rang out again.
Jiang He did not return to the top of the city wall, but charged forward on the spot. The overlord's powerful body was like a meteorite. In the moment of collision with the human ant, he could clearly see the enemy's shattered flesh and blood.
In a straight line, unstoppable.
The bloody smoke filled the air along the way, and even the human ants, whose brains were full of bloodthirstiness, began to shrink back.
Thousands of meters away, the black sun area unfolded again.
Long!
A strange sound, clear, distant, majestic and vast, resounded throughout the plain, like a siphon of a tornado swallowing its prey. The body of the human ant collapsed in the pulling, turning into pure blood mist that poured into the black sun.
Tens of thousands of ants died again.
[Hint: Your extraordinary burst has been upgraded to the immortal level 13%]
Jiang He punched out with both fists, the mechanical force stimulated the Dan Jin to release the violence, the fan-shaped areas on the left and right were cleared, and the flesh and blood turned into mud.
The figure flashed and flew in a distance of one thousand meters.
When the Black Sun Domain emerged twice in succession, all the guild members in the underground command center fell silent, and many of them swallowed their saliva.
The strategic team leader forced himself to remain calm and analyzed, "His sturdy physique is almost at the pinnacle. His punch damage has reached the level of the strongest. The same is true for his pure physical speed. As for whether it is the limit, it is not clear yet."
"Generally speaking, a complete domain deployment requires 1000 points of gold energy, or 3000 points of silver energy. The target has used it four times in a row. Judging from the energy reserves alone, there are few rivals."
Everyone understood the strategic team leader's implication. The ones on the live screen before them were the powerful nations of the Ninth Fortress.
"We have lost more than 21 human ants, but no matter what, his energy should be running out." The strategic team leader objectively judged: "This is the best time to intercept him in theory."
The ant king tapped the table with his fingers. Caution and grasp of timing are not contradictory. In other words, the meaning of the former is to seize the latter.
"I'll go and test his weight."
The strategic team leader judged: "Even if we lose, the chances of the president's defeat are not high. Now there are millions of ants around, and the president is at an unprecedented peak. Please keep your confidence."
The vice president interrupted and said, "Make preparations for both situations. Have the three queen ants in place, ready to bring the adults back at any time."
Each group acted separately. The equipment group delivered the ultimate armor for maintenance, the strategic group analyzed the best time to enter, and the logistics group took out stamina, blood, and energy-activating potions to ensure that their side was at the highest combat power.
"This is what unity means." The president smiled and mentioned his Ultimate Warhammer. [Unity means] and [Unity] are his core Ultimate abilities.
-
On the battlefield.
Jiang He punched and killed without restraint.
Every time a tornado of Dan Jin swept out, it could strangle thousands of human ants, with blood flowing all around.
Suddenly, the ground cracked and a thin figure rushed out at a very fast speed. He swung a millstone-sized hammer with both hands. Due to his terrifying power, the hammer hit the air, just like detonating a lot of thunder.
Ultimate active skill: Jingque.
80% additional damage, armor breaking and strength enhancement, increase the already astonishing power to the extreme.
Boom!
The president swung his hammer with all his might, hitting the enemy squarely.
The extremely violent force stirred up a strong wind, shaking the ground and mountains within a radius of several hundred meters. Cracks spread, and thousands of human ants were swept away. The surrounding ground sank and dust flew everywhere.
The moment the full-strength attack hit the target, there was a cheer in the command center. The president's relatively weak point was speed, and since it hit the target, the chance of winning would be greatly improved.
"No!" The strategic team leader looked horrified.
On the battlefield, the president looked a little confused.
The raging gale swept away the smoke and dust, and a slender white palm easily held up the hammer. The Dan Jin, tempered by thousands of years of martial arts, removed most of the force, and the remaining force did not hurt at all.
Jiang He's face was calm, his five fingers grabbed like hooks, and he used various claw techniques effortlessly. His own stats were improved by the Five-Dimensional Ring and the brocade red robe, which were enough to support him in displaying his martial arts attainments.
Crack! The Ultimate Warhammer fell apart.
Divine Hunting and Divine Hunting are activated at the same time.
Unparalleled speed boost, with the silver spear special effect of quick kill, enhancing the attack speed by 100%.
A silver light blooms between heaven and earth.
The president had never seen such a fast gun light. He believed that even if an ordinary golden creature came here, he would be caught off guard.
boom!
Before anyone could react, the gun hit.
Its terrifying weight contained all kinds of despairing blessings. Based on pure impact, its immortal-level sharpness and a number of ultimate-level damage effects could easily defeat the enemy's ultimate armor.
The Bu Yun spear technique, one shot pierces the heart.
Only when holding the Everlasting Sorrow Dragon Spear can someone be in his prime in the true sense.
The high true damage of the Gun Master and Dawn broke down all defenses. The president listened to the dense notification sounds and watched his health value plummet to the bottom. The overflow damage was so horrifying that it was beyond his comprehension and made him stand there in a daze.
But in this mere moment, the silver light was more than just a flash.
He changed the stabbing into the slashing, and swept across with the Undying Slashing Spear Technique. The cold front that was still in the heart cavity moved sideways, cutting the enemy into two pieces. Then the Undying Smashing Spear Technique fell, directly smashing the man's head.
This was serious damage that was fatal. Even the strongest men might not be able to break through the defense, and their bodies were as fragile as thin paper in front of the silver spear.
But the president did not die. Instead, 270,000 ants exploded without warning, and fireworks rose on the battlefield.
United as One - Stay connected with all members of the ant colony.
United we stand - the damage that the human ants cannot bear will be borne by them.
The president's will finally took control of his body, and only one thought instinctively emerged in his mind.
"run!"
In the underground command center.
The strategic team leader pinched his thigh, then slammed the table and screamed frantically, "Change the queen ant, change the queen ant!"
He felt like he was going crazy. What kind of monster was in front of him? One shot from him actually cost the president half his life.
……
On the battlefield.
The president's broken figure became illusory.
Jiang He directly activated the Changhen Dragon Spear's confinement skill. This skill can confine the target for two seconds. After repeated upgrades, its status depends on the Dragon Spear's immortal level, and the effect is significant.
The exchange of life and death between the king and queen was interrupted.
Within two seconds, Jiang He fired twenty-four shots, all of which were Six Meteorite Spear Techniques. So far, the largest-scale death of human ants occurred, with more than one million human ants exploding on the spot, and the dense black tide on the battlefield was diluted for the first time.
The time of confinement is over.
The president almost cried for joy, and for a moment, he even thought that this overbearing confinement might last until his death.
The position change started and his figure disappeared.
Suddenly, a queen ant with a stomach full of extraordinary explosives appeared at the spot.
Boom!
There was an explosion on the ground and flames shot into the sky.
Jiang He brandished the spear with one hand, silver light enveloped his body, and the Undying Spear Control Technique blocked all attacks.
After a while, the fluctuations subsided.
A deep pit with a diameter of one hundred meters was left on the spot. Jiang He wiped a drop of blood from the tip of the gun and smeared it on the cursed blood ring on his right hand. However, he failed to track it. One reason was that the level of the cursed blood ring was not high enough, and the other was that the opponent had a strong enough cover.
"It runs fast."
Jiang He turned around calmly, and the hundreds of thorns behind him collected the flesh and blood of millions of human ants that died from the explosions like a broom.
……
"Run! Run now!"
At the end of the command table, the president said in a low voice with lingering fear, "The Ninth Fortress cannot be taken down. That guy is a Silver Overlord. You may not understand, but it doesn't matter. Anyway, I have no chance of winning against him in a one-on-one fight."
Most of the members present were not clear about the meaning of Overlord, so the strategic team leader explained with difficulty:
"The so-called hegemon is the pinnacle of hegemony in an era, similar to the situation of one superpower and many strong countries. A single powerful life form cannot resist. Whether it can survive depends on its own ability to escape."
The strategic team leader sighed heavily and said helplessly: "Even if our entire guild risked their lives, the chances of winning would be slim. In a battlefield like that, only other powers can provide assistance."
Just as the vice president was about to step forward and call on everyone to retreat, the reminder sound of the battlefield rang in his ears.

[Tip: Twilight Power-level lifeform Rounding is... The player has refused to be recruited]
You could hear a pin drop in the command center.
The strategic team leader opened his mouth, but finally found that he had nothing to say.
As the powerful leader of the Grand Guild, he is in charge of the Strategic Analysis Group, the Strategic Intelligence Group, and the Operational Planning Group. With the support of the presidents of the powerful countries, he knows all the intelligence from all sides.
But even so, he had never heard of such an outrageous mission, even if it was just an unfounded rumor.
The three major battlefields sent out their ultimate trump cards to surround and kill one person. This was so absurd that it could not be described in words.
"How could it be..." the vice president whispered.
The president sighed, "What if he is still the Overlord when he reaches the Gold level? Then we don't need to fight for it. If we don't fight, we can just give it to the Origin. What's the point? Let alone mobilizing all the powers. As long as we can exchange the pieces, if it were me, I wouldn't feel bad if everyone died."
The strategic team leader glanced at the president. The great powers had no real shortcomings in any aspect, including strategic vision, so he was willing to work for them.
"Then why not send out all forces?" The vice president was still a little dissatisfied. It was no small matter for the three powerful nations to gather together in the void, but he felt it was not very safe at the moment.
"Battlefield Treaty." The strategic team leader replied: "Players have their own human rights. Forced conscription is not without bottom line."
There was silence at the command center.
The president, who had just advocated escape, became a staunch advocate of war when he saw that the situation had become a foregone conclusion.
"Put all your people on it, there's sacrifice and gain, don't give him a chance to recharge."
……
The top of the city wall is turned upside down.
Jiang He sat on the battlement and drank. The wine went down his throat like blood, and the spicy taste flowed through his throat.
Not far away, a large group of human ants launched a desperate charge.
This did surprise him a bit.
"If he wasn't mentally handicapped by the beating, then he had other things to rely on."
Jiang He had no expression. The millions of human ants had caused the extraordinary explosion to rise to an epic level. Up to this point, the bronze creatures were completely unable to provide any progress. If this skill did not only require pure extraordinary factors, the nourishment bottom line should have been raised long ago.
As for the extraordinary burst that has been promoted to the epic level, the overall effect is still enhanced by 301%, which is the limit of the skill value, but when it reaches epic level, it means that epic ability can be amplified, and the amplified object is no longer limited to oneself.
"Instantly become an excellent assistant." Jiang He thought to himself.
The war never stopped.
The Second Division lost 4,000 men, and the Third and Fourth Divisions began to take turns defending the position.
During the shift change, Jiang He rushed to the front of the battlefield and released his ultimate skill: Heavenly Thunder and Earthly Fire.
The five colors flow, the sky thunder has 60% additional holy damage and 125% stacked damage. The same is true for the earth fire, but the holy effect is replaced by death.
The super-high bonus makes the power of Heavenly Thunder and Earth Fire comparable to that of Immortal-level elemental spells.
Within a radius of one kilometer, lightning flashed, flames swept, and pillars of lightning and fire shot up into the sky, completely clearing the area in front of the Reversal Pass and wiping out more than 200,000 Human Ants at the cost of consuming 3,000 points of silver energy.
Unfathomable damage, ultimate consumption, heavenly thunder and earthly fire as the medals of the battle for the remaining life bestowed by the origin, the performance is excellent.

[Prompt: Do you accept?]
Jiang He browsed through the sudden tasks. Qiyuan obviously knew what kind of rewards were worth his attention. As the name suggests, the Immortal-level Skill Enhancement Scroll can enhance a skill to the point of being immortal.
As for the implanted core, although its level is not high, it is more precious. It can allow a creature who is in the stage of integrating silver power to directly own a core that suits him/herself and obtain considerable attribute improvements. It is a pity that it is still powerless against the golden will.
"One for Lao Hei and one for Wu He."
"Aya doesn't need that."
"accept."
