Chapter 260 Clear the Scene Directly
Ye Feng witnessed the entire process of the battle, and he couldn't help but sigh. The human's combat power has really become much stronger.
Although the reason for the great victory in this battle was largely due to the absolute advantage in military strength, it is also an indisputable fact that the combat power has become stronger.
If it was a month ago, let alone 20,000 troops, even if there were 200,000 troops, it would be impossible to repel the restricted area creatures at this cost.
Ye Feng closed his eyes and used his mental power to explore the abyss creatures in other areas.
With his current mental power exploration range, plus the length of the tree roots, he can explore places hundreds of kilometers away.
In other words, several nearby cities are within his mental power exploration range.
Although the number of evolvers in other cities is not as large as that in Yangcheng, there are only more than 5,000 evolvers in ordinary cities.
However, the number of restricted area creatures attacking their city is not that large, with only more than 1,000 at most. In this case, if they rely on the city wall for defense, they can easily defend it.
And the result of the next battle was just as Ye Feng expected.
Yonghe City, Pingjin City, and Jiangpu City were all in the following defensive battle. Although it took a little longer, they successfully defended and forced back the invading restricted area creatures.
"It seems a little wrong. This defense is too easy, and the fighting will of those abyss creatures does not seem to be strong. As long as the number of casualties reaches one-tenth, they will choose to retreat."
Ye Feng frowned slightly, closed his eyes, moved the tree roots and began a large-scale exploration.
After a moment, a look of surprise appeared on his face, "So that's it, their attack on the city is just a cover."
"It can't be said to be a cover. If the defenders of those cities can't withstand their attacks, then they will inevitably enter the city to wreak havoc and retaliate."
"And the real purpose of these restricted area creatures that have left the main force is to disperse, search for powerful mutant creatures to kill them, and then bring them back to the restricted area, so that the restricted area can expand rapidly."
At this time, under Ye Feng's exploration, those skeleton creatures and fierce beasts have killed a lot of mutant creatures.
But they also knew that there were still defenders near the restricted area, so they did not return immediately, but hid the mutant creatures after they were killed.
According to Ye Feng's estimation, when the number of mutant creatures they killed reached a certain level, they would return together.
At that time, if there were still top strongmen or a large number of restricted area creatures in the restricted area, they would be able to break through the blockade and bring these corpses back.
Of course, now that they have been discovered, they can't think about going any further.
Ye Feng immediately possessed the mutant parrot and told Zhang Ji what happened here.
Zhang Ji was also shocked when he heard it, and hurriedly reported the matter.
The next thing will be easy to handle. Yangcheng City will pay the Dragon King to help locate the restricted area creatures.
Then they can directly send troops to encircle and suppress them.
Because the restricted area creature army has not sent many troops to harass various cities, and the total number is only 15,000 at most, so it is not difficult to encircle and suppress them.
What is really worth paying attention to is naturally the restricted area creature army heading to the ancient ruins.
At this time, there are hundreds of fighters in the sky above the restricted area creatures, using air-to-ground missiles to bomb them.
However, the impact of these fighters' bombing against such a large number of restricted area creatures is very limited.
The real main force is the missile forces of each city. Of course, they do not launch high-powered missiles, but multi-warhead missiles.
After this type of missile reaches the target airspace, it will be broken down into dozens of small missiles and attack different targets in a dispersed manner. In this way, it will be more difficult for the opponent to intercept it.
But even so, according to the speed of these mutant creatures, it is difficult to kill 10,000 restricted area creatures when they reach the ancient ruins.
Especially the more powerful sixth-level beasts, which have already passed half of the journey, but the number of their deaths is only a few hundred.
"Parrot Messenger, according to the current situation, the restricted area creature army can still maintain more than 120,000 troops when arriving here. We have no advantage. Do we need to rush into the ancient ruins first?"
"If we use missile bombing at all costs, we should be able to delay them for a while and enter the restricted area ten minutes earlier." Zhang Ji came over to ask.
"No need." Ye Feng shook his head and said: "They are not in a hurry to get on the road. They have always maintained their formation to minimize casualties."
"So this ancient ruins, even if you rush in first, you won't get too much benefit. In the end, it still depends on your strength."
Although he has never entered the ancient ruins, he also knows that the good things inside cannot be first come first served, and there will definitely be tests and the like.
"I understand." Zhang Ji nodded and asked again: "Should we clear out these mutant creatures near the ancient ruins? Or use them to deal with the restricted area army?"
"Just follow the original plan and clear them out! These mutant creatures are too weak to have any impact on the restricted area creatures. It's just giving them food, which will have a greater impact on us." Ye Feng said.
Hearing this, Zhang Ji nodded silently and quickly conveyed the mutant parrot's words to his superiors.
Tianhe City also made a decision quickly.
First, bomb the mutant creatures around the ancient ruins.
As the order was issued, hundreds of missile vehicles drove from the military camp to an open space.
Tianhe City is only a second-tier city, and they naturally cannot have so many missile vehicles alone.
But the ancient ruins have been there for a month, so how can they not be prepared? These missile vehicles were all transferred from the surrounding cities.
And they also applied for 500 thermobaric bombs. As long as they are launched, it will be enough to carry out a saturation attack on the entire area within a radius of 10 kilometers of the ancient ruins.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Just one minute later, hundreds of cruise missiles equipped with thermobaric warheads were launched into the sky, and then at 6 times the speed of sound, they directly covered the area around the ancient ruins.
Boom boom boom!
Hundreds of mushroom clouds suddenly rose around the ruins, and the violent explosions and flames directly submerged the mutant insects in the billions.
Even for mutant animals, the number of deaths in this round of bombing is definitely no less than 300,000 or 400,000.
Mutants below level 4 will basically die if they are affected by thermobaric bombs.
Even mutants above level 4 will definitely die if they are in the core range of the explosion.
Because the power of the center of the thermobaric bomb explosion is enough to kill mutants of level 6.
Suffering such a devastating blow, the mutants gathered around, how could they care about the ruins, and directly fled in all directions.
But unfortunately, they fled quickly, but the second round of thermobaric bombs came faster, and then the third round, the fourth round, and the fifth round.
In just three minutes, 500 thermobaric bombs were all fired, directly turning the 10-kilometer radius around the ancient ruins into a piece of charcoal.
In this bombed land, mutants below level 3, even the corpses are difficult to leave.
This is the power of human technology.
"It's still fun to kill these mutant creatures! They don't even have the ability to detonate these thermobaric bombs in advance." Seeing this scene, many officers sighed.
If the same method is used to deal with those restricted area creatures, these thermobaric bombs will most likely be wasted.
After the bombing, the military quickly sent out drones to explore, and the data was quickly gathered to Zhang Ji.
"Parrot Messenger, after this round of bombing, the number of mutant creatures has basically been reduced by 90%."
"The mutant insects that are still left have been sharply reduced to 30 or 40 million, and the mutant animals are less than 100,000."
"The only pity is that our subsequent rounds of attacks gave them some time to react. Basically, most of the mutant creatures above the fourth level can escape." Zhang Ji felt a little regretful.
If Tianhe City could dispatch more missile vehicles and launch all 500 thermobaric bombs at once, they could almost kill them all.
"It's good enough, and don't forget that there are so many ancient ruins in the world, and the number of mutant creatures that eventually enter the ruins is probably huge."
"Even if you kill the last ten percent of mutant creatures, the final effect is estimated to be limited." Ye Feng said indifferently.
Now he is more concerned about the army of the forbidden area that is about to arrive, and the ancient ruins that are about to be opened.
Yes, the time is now 8:55. If he guessed correctly, the ruins will probably be officially opened at 9 o'clock.
This point can also be roughly judged through the energy barrier that has gradually become illusory.
As for the army of forbidden area creatures, they have entered the scope of Tianhe City.
Time passed by 1 minute and 1 second. At this time, these human strongmen who originally gathered in the square have all come to the city wall.
Standing at such a high place, relying on the strength of the third-level strongman, it is possible to roughly see the situation of the ancient ruins several kilometers away.
"Time is almost up." Someone whispered.
As soon as he finished speaking, the energy barrier surrounding the ancient ruins flashed a few times and then dissipated.
As the energy barrier disappeared, everyone suddenly felt a desire from the bottom of their hearts.
Almost everyone stared at the ancient ruins in the distance, wanting to rush over and enter them without hesitation.
Many people even took a step forward, intending to jump directly from the dozens of meters high city wall.
But at this time, a wolf howl mixed with mental shock sounded, allowing everyone to break free from that emotion.
"Concentrate your mind, don't be attracted now." Ye Feng's voice, through the blessing of spiritual energy, sounded like thunder in everyone's ears.
At this time, they finally came to their senses, and a trace of fear appeared on their faces.
"What's going on? I feel that the attraction of the ancient ruins to me just now is 10 times greater." Someone said.
"How can it be only 10 times?" His companion immediately retorted, "Think about it, we are now at least seven or eight kilometers away from the ancient ruins. In this situation, we can still be affected. The attraction is at least 100 times greater."
Listening to the conversation of everyone, Ye Feng shook his head slightly. The attraction that the ancient ruins had just erupted was not just what everyone felt.
Because the stronger the strength, the greater the attraction of the ancient ruins.
At that moment, his body was nearly 300 kilometers away from the ancient ruins, and he actually felt a strong attraction.
He even suspected that this attraction could be transmitted thousands of kilometers away before it disappeared.
If this is true, then almost all the fifth and sixth-order mutant creatures in the world will feel the opening of the ancient ruins.
There is no doubt that even if there are treasures in the ruins, the competition will be unprecedentedly fierce.
"It's a restricted area creature!" A cry of surprise brought Ye Feng back to his senses.
He immediately looked into the distance, and the restricted area creature army was less than 1 kilometer away from the ancient ruins.
Wherever the army passed, let alone those mutant creatures, even the surrounding trees would be trampled down.
They rushed to the ancient ruins in this extremely domineering way, and without any stop, they rushed directly into the huge stone gate that had been opened at some point.
Then everyone could see that when they rushed through the gate, their bodies flashed and disappeared out of thin air.
Even those beasts that could fly in the air would disappear when they directly crossed the city wall and flew into the ancient ruins.
Obviously, as long as they entered the ancient ruins, they would be teleported away.
This scene made Ye Feng a little confused.
Since entering the ancient ruins would cause them to be teleported away, what were the temples inside used for? Could they be just decorations?
But no one could give him an answer to this matter.
Those restricted area creatures rushed into the ancient ruins in less than two minutes and were teleported away.
Until then, many people breathed a sigh of relief.
Even though they were several kilometers away, so many level five and six creatures still brought them great pressure.
At this time, it was not only them who breathed a sigh of relief, but also the mutant creatures around them that were attracted by the ancient ruins again.
When the restricted area creatures disappeared, they all rushed to the ancient ruins frantically.
"Let's go! Let's go too." Ye Feng said, flapping his wings and flying towards the direction of the ancient ruins.
The animal army and insect army gathered around Yangcheng City moved again and rushed towards the ancient ruins.
Seeing this scene, the elite teams sent by various cities did not hesitate at all, and jumped down the city wall directly, following the army of the Dragon King Palace.
