Chapter 784 Front Line

At this moment, the front line.

Although it is called the front line, it is actually very far behind. After all, the real front line... has been almost destroyed by the human raid in front.

Songguo was completely destroyed, not a single bacterium survived, and all the earth spirits and all the lives on them were completely destroyed by the human.

That's right... completely destroyed.

The human seized the time when the Baiyue kings were strife, and attacked accurately, stabbing into the gap as accurately as a scalpel, and then opened the cavity.

Beheading, slaughtering the city, destroying the earth spirits, all in one go, it took less than two hours, and then quickly retreated and retreated to the tall barriers in the southern border.

The casualties of the human were about 300 people, and the war losses were about 300 to 1 billion.

Their actions were so swift and accurate that the mob of Baiyue had no way to resist.

In the moment when the mob did not have time to react, they beheaded the king, exterminated many governors and high officials, slaughtered the entire country within two hours, and returned to defense in an orderly manner.

Except for some casualties caused by sporadic resistance, the whole operation was perfect and seamless.

The nearest reinforcements and fortresses did not even have time to gather. When they set off, the people had finished their work and went home for dinner.

This battle directly made the Baiyue countries, from the soldiers at the bottom to the leaders at the top, no one was not afraid.

How can we fight against such a country?

This is not the same level at all!

At this moment, Zhang Xu, an eighth-grade warrior as a grassroots commander, is facing such fear.

He walked into his camp and looked around.

Zhang Xu is the military lieutenant of Dalu Kingdom. He thinks he is the most capable among his colleagues. His subordinates are all elites selected by him one by one. They are the most capable teams in Dalu Kingdom.

Just like now--

In Zhang Xu's camp, the soldiers are comforting each other. Although they are afraid, they have not collapsed.

But his colleagues are now morale collapsed, and many of them are even ready to give up resistance.

Zhang Xu frowned, walked out, and shouted to the terrified soldiers: "Stand up, what do you look like!"

He was still quite prestigious among the soldiers. After shouting, many soldiers quickly cheered up. Although they still looked a little weak, they at least stood up straight.

Zhang Xu went up and asked: "What's going on in the next camp? Why do they have wine?"

The reason for asking this was that Zhang Xu had seen that the soldiers in the next camp had already started to indulge in alcohol, even the lieutenant was among them, and everyone was drinking happily.

"Lieutenant... do we need to say it?" The soldiers smiled bitterly.

This choked Zhang Xu.

Yes, do we need to say it?

The morale must have collapsed, even the lieutenant's mentality collapsed, so he simply didn't care, everyone had wine today and drank today.

Zhang Xu shook his head and turned to leave.

After leaving, he found the quartermaster.

The quartermaster didn't look very energetic. He just stood up immediately when he saw Zhang Xu coming and said, "Captain, you are here? What are your plans?"

The quartermaster was Zhang Xu's confidant, so he naturally knew the character of his lieutenant very well. He probably wouldn't indulge in alcohol like the one next door.

Zhang Xu walked over and said, "Tonight... don't worry about logistics. Take out 30% of the meat in reserve. Everyone can have some meat and eat something good. It can also boost your spirits."

"Yes." The quartermaster nodded immediately.

"Also, magic weapons and disposable talismans, arrows and the like are all prepared in the front. If a war breaks out, they will be used first." Zhang Xu reminded.

"I understand, so... Lieutenant, we still have to fight, right?" The quartermaster said with a little shudder.

"It's not up to us to decide whether to fight or not. All we have to do is prepare for war." Zhang Xu shook his head and turned away again. After all, he came to inspect and would not stay in one place for too long.

After looking at the training ground and logistics, he climbed up the watchtower this time.

There is a magic on the watchtower, called a telescope, which can see things thousands of miles away and is used to observe military operations.

But after climbing up and activating the magic, all he saw was a wilderness and scattered trees.

He was in Dalu Country, so he could only see the border of Song Country. After all, a thousand miles is not too far to be honest. At least on this level of battlefield, being able to detect a thousand miles can only be considered as being able to see the surroundings clearly.

But he still couldn't help but sigh.

Zhang Xu shook his head. Just yesterday, the telescope still saw the prosperous Song Country, which still had trade relations with Dalu Country. There were crowds of people on the border. Because of the war, various transactions and material exchanges were carried out smoothly under the leadership of the two countries' leaders.

But in just one day, there was no one alive in the entire Song Country.

In addition to feeling cold in his heart, there was no other feeling.

He pointed the telescope to the sky again.

Looking up at the sky, the telescope can clearly see the Gangfeng layer and the many waterways above.

Yes, there was originally a waterway. The Gangfeng layer of the world was very busy, and there would be many practitioners sailing on the Gangfeng layer, just like a main road, bustling and bustling, and even palaces could be seen wandering around.

But now there is nothing. The news of the Baiyue War has spread to many places in the world, so those who have the ability to travel in the world have deliberately avoided Baiyue to avoid being accidentally injured.

No one dares to come to the war zone.

As an eighth grader, Zhang Xu doesn't have much knowledge. He doesn't know what the world outside Baiyue is like, but just by looking at it, he understands that the situation here may not be good, and no one will come here. .

And... In addition, he could also see spherical automatic cruise magic weapons.

There were so many, there were thousands of them just from what he saw.

This, the superiors have already given him the news.

This thing is called the 'Tiangong', and it was these things that created lava lakes, cut open battlefields, and created big explosions before.

As long as these things launch an attack, the entire camp will turn into a pool of lava.

However, it seems that the prefects took action to prevent the Tiangong from getting close. It can only be used for observation and cannot be used for direct attack.

But...can't get out.

Once out, these heavenly palaces will instantly evaporate the elite team that Zhang Xu is proud of.

No chance of victory in sight.

When Zhang Xu thought of this, he felt like his mind was wandering and he was upset.

A war with no chance of victory, a war that will lead to death, and there is a high probability that the death will be worthless.

How to fight this kind of battle?

No wonder the guys next door chose to party hard.

If you don't party at this time, you won't have a chance.

Just when Zhang Xu fell into this emotion, a communication spell suddenly came to his ears.

Shufali said: "Forward Army, Lieutenant of the trapped camp, Zhang Xu, right? I am in your camp, come and see me quickly."

Is it the governor?

The prefect was calling him.

How could the prefect, a seventh-grade expert, contact him personally?

But since the commander contacted him in person, he naturally couldn't refuse, so Zhang Xu immediately said: "Yes, the general is inspecting the watchtower, come over immediately."

Zhang Xu quickly went down and arrived at the school grounds. As expected, the prefect really came.

He hurriedly walked over, knelt down on one knee, bowed his head and said, "Lieutenant of the trapped camp, Zhang Xu, I have seen the prefect!"

"No courtesy, no courtesy, Lieutenant Zhang. Everyone is so depressed. Only your camp is still standing guard, training troops, and patrolling. It can be seen that the lieutenant usually manages the army well." The prefect said.

"Your Excellency, that's a ridiculous compliment. It's all just a matter of personal responsibility." Zhang Xu didn't know why, but he still replied without asking for credit.

"This is not a ridiculous compliment. Alas, look at those people now, how do they look like they can do anything...?" The prefect sighed and looked at the dejected soldiers.

But he didn't talk about those people either.

It's not necessary, because he knows why, and he also knows that it can't be changed at all.

"However, after interacting with them, I realized that the Lieutenant is a useful person. Now if we want to reverse the situation, there is an important task that needs to be completed by the Lieutenant. Lieutenant...are you willing to take orders in times of danger?" the prefect said.

"Reverse the situation?" Zhang Xu's eyes widened.

What? Under such circumstances, is there any hope of reversal? Are you kidding me?

"Yes, the king's side has already come down. Think about it, the king is a fifth-grade master. Isn't there anything they can do? Our frontline just suffered a temporary defeat, not a complete defeat." The prefect said: "It's just, It just needs a little opportunity now.”

"I think in the entire Dalu Kingdom, only the lieutenant's battalion can shoulder this important task."

Hearing what the prefect in front of him said, Zhang Xu took a deep breath.

Actually... there is still a chance to win?

So, he immediately said: "Zhang Xu, I would like to hear the details!"

"Above the king, there are also Zhuren from Wushen Mountain. Although you don't know what Wushen Mountain is, but...you saw that battle before, right?" the prefect said.

That fight?

Zhang Xu recalled for a moment, the only time he could use such a nihilistic reference to fight... I'm afraid it was only the one a few days ago, right?

The giant who carried the earth for 4,500 miles, and the gray flames that destroyed everything.

Just watching that battle from a distance, he felt a shock from the bottom of his heart. The shock was like the first time humans landed on the moon and looked back at their own planet.

Standing on the moon and looking at the earth, you will find that the world you originally thought was 'everything' turns out to be so small and vast, with all the nations and all the heavy history concentrated in that small on a blue ball.

And around the blue ball, there is endless darkness.

This was what Zhang Xu was thinking at that time.

The 'whole world' he thought was easily shattered by that battle.

Now, he finally knew what kind of existence caused that battle.

Wushen Mountain...wishes people.

"Then... what should I do? Please give me some advice from the prefect." Zhang Xu asked immediately.

"If you want to start the original festival, you need to capture a node three thousand miles away. The original Songguo node is no problem, but it's a pity..." The prefect shook his head.

Li Qi's original design included the location of Song Guo, but now that Song Guo has become like this, the original nodes can no longer be used.

"So... relying on us to advance three thousand miles? This is simply impossible." Zhang Xu immediately asserted.

It's not that he's cowarded, but that he really can't do it. In this situation, the moment he goes out, he will be evaporated by the Heavenly Palace.

"Of course it is impossible that only you, the governor, the king, and even a master from the Taoist sect will take action, but we can't spare any hands, so we must find an elite team. After screening, we chose the White Rhino Army of Bailin Country, your Xianzhen Camp, and the Forbidden Army Vanguard of Donghua Country, etc., about 17 teams. Captain Zhang, are you willing to charge?"

Zhang Xu immediately raised his head: "There is no reason to refuse! Please let me be the vanguard on the trip to Song Country."

He didn't speak very excitedly, but his fighting spirit was clearly revealed.

"You will rush out under our protection. We will stop those strong men, and you also need to break through the opponent's defense line and finally arrive. Use this formation diagram to activate the node, and then you will be safe."

"Safe?" Zhang Xu was stunned.

What's the situation? How can it be safe? Isn't this a suicide attack?

Just by listening to this plan, he already knew the danger.

He saw the power of the human army with his own eyes. How difficult is it to defeat the opponent? Even if the strong men of both sides exchanged their sons, they were inferior to the other side in morale, military skills, and even in all aspects.

It was so difficult to advance three thousand miles, and they could only rely on luck.

Assuming that they were really lucky and could complete the mission, in Zhang Xu's guess, they would have no chance to come back.

This was a battle where they would die if they went out, but even knowing this, he made his own decision.

But after making up his mind, he suddenly heard "safe", which made him let out an "ah" and looked at the governor in front of him blankly.

"Don't be so surprised. This is not to send you to die... Er, no, at least, after you succeed, there is still hope. The great sacrifice you are going to start connects the entire Baiyue, and the object of the sacrifice is Zhuren himself. In other words, this is a transcendent version of the mountain and water formation."

"So, as long as it is activated, the entire formation will block humanity outside, and you will survive."

"Success means life, failure means death. This time, even the king has to risk his life. I will personally resist the bombardment of the Heavenly Palace. As for the things on the ground, I will leave it to you." The governor said so.

Zhang Xu gritted his teeth and nodded: "I dare not say that I will never fail in my mission... I can only say that I will do my best."

The governor patted Zhang Xu on the shoulder and said: "With your words, I feel relieved. All the military supplies you need, just ask for them, get ready, and after tomorrow, at midnight, it will be your time to act."

"Yes." Zhang Xu nodded, then turned around and ordered the herald to beat the drum and assemble!

As the war drums sounded, Zhang Xu's camp began to move.

And those other camps, which were either drunk, revelry, fearful, or depressed, also heard the sound of the war drums that did not belong to them.

The eyes of the entire camp turned to the place where they were. (End of this chapter)
