133: Break through! Siberia!
The destruction and slaughter in Novi Sad were not isolated incidents.
Lord Leon's 'Scorched Earth Strategy' spread like a plague.
Several European cities, under the roar of War Corpses and the shadow of Julian's Blood Servant conversion, successively turned into ruins.
The dark side of Earth was burning fiercely.
The world was shaken, and people were terrified!
At the Huaxia Strategic Command Center, terrifying scenes of destruction and death were repeatedly displayed on a giant screen.
"Commander, we've already informed Zhang Sheng, but he hasn't made any further statements," Hou Wu reported in a low voice.
Wang Huasheng pondered for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "Although Zhang Sheng is strong, we cannot rely on him to solve every powerful enemy we encounter.
In the past, our opponents were Yao Beasts; this time, it's human war maniacs. This is a rare opportunity for our army to be tempered!"
Meanwhile, inside a villa at First Cultivation University.
Zhang Sheng had just finished refining the Spiritual Qi from two Secret Realms and was focused on creating Jade Slips for the Profound Pearl Thought Knotting Art Cultivation Technique.
Hundreds of Jade Slips were completed and handed over to Hou Wu to equip the elite Cultivator troops.
"Earth will face an even greater storm; flowers in a greenhouse cannot withstand the wind and rain," Zhang Sheng's gaze was profound.
"Lord Leon is a whetstone. Huaxia's backbone cannot be supported by me alone."
These Spirit Refining Jade Slips were enough to strengthen Mental Energy and enhance Divine Sense detection capabilities.
Zhang Sheng would not provide any more help... However, the potential for massive casualties was ultimately a burden Huaxia could not bear.
A high-level decision was quickly made.
"Commander, leave it to me!" Song Xian stepped forward, his tone filled with undeniable confidence. "That Lord Leon will surely become a dead soul beneath my sword!" His smile spread, carrying a hint of wildness.
Commander Wang raised his hand to stop him: "I trust your strength, but there's one condition: this operation must minimize soldier casualties!"
"Also, I'd like to introduce someone to you." A piece of information was instantly transmitted to Song Xian's Smart Terminal.
On the screen was an image of a blonde beauty.
"Her name is Lilith. She knows the location of Lord Leon's lair. Currently, you are the only one who knows. She is our undercover agent; I want you to bring her back safely!"
Wang Huasheng's tone was solemn, "This operation will be led by you, with Lilith's cooperation. Go straight for the dragon's den and put an end to this fiend! You must minimize casualties and uphold the might of Huaxia!"
"Understood!" Song Xian stood up abruptly, the vast and endless Spiritual Qi within him surging like a river.
The confidence brought by the Primordial Chaos Heavenly Art reaching the Transcendent stage made him fearless of any challenge.
In the frigid depths of Siberia, within the core of a fortress buried beneath the permafrost.
Lord Leon stood before a massive strategic sand table.
On the sand table, crimson markings, like festering wounds, covered several European countries, the Philippines, India, and Africa.
Unfortunately, even with his naturally powerful Mental Energy and his acquisition of Spirit Refining Cultivation Techniques through secret channels, the number of War Corpses he could directly control was still limited.
After converting low-level corpses, he only imbued them with a bloodthirsty instinct, allowing them to rampage freely.
Only War Corpses at the Divine Breath Realm were worthy of being personally controlled by him.
When Huaxia revealed its unifying momentum, he knew the time had come, and the Scorched Earth Strategy had to be launched!
In densely populated areas like the Philippines, uncontrolled War Corpses were even more terrifying than zombies in movies. They killed anyone they saw, spread corpse Qi, created death, and continuously converted new kin... Beside Lord Leon stood the stunning beauty, Lilith.
Her Talent for Enthralling Minds was Lord Leon's Sharp Weapon for infiltrating and controlling local governors. Although Lord Leon did not completely trust her, he could not do without her abilities.
And Irene, who possessed divination abilities, had been plagued by Shen Xin's curse, leaving her weak and unable to assist him.
He had also considered having Julian transform Lilith into a vampire, but Lilith, with her enthralling Talent, possessed immensely powerful Mental Energy. Unless she willingly drank Julian's heart blood, she could not be transformed at all.
Suddenly, a barely perceptible ripple flickered deep within Lilith's eyes—the secret signal had arrived!
"Lord Leon, there seems to be an abnormal energy fluctuation at the outer defense node. I'll go check it out," her voice remained as soft and alluring as ever.
Lord Leon's gaze did not leave the sand table, and he nodded casually.
However, a Divine Sense message had silently been transmitted to a Man in Black in the distance: "Xiao Yang, follow her and see."
Lilith carefully walked out of the underground base.
A faint, rhythmic electrical sensation came from her earring—this was a specific code.
At the same time, she precisely adjusted her breathing and pulse rate.
The earring detected the changes in her pulse and transmitted the information back in the form of an electrical signal.
The information was relayed via satellite and finally reached Song Xian's Smart Terminal.
"Lord Leon's underground base location, personnel deployment... he himself is in the base right now! Location: the frigid zone of Siberia!" A sharp glint flashed in Song Xian's eyes.
"I didn't expect this 'Lilith' to be so capable! Heaven truly helps me!
Brothers, let's go!"
With Song Xian's command, hundreds of Huaxia's top Cultivators soared into the sky!
On the ground, Lilith pretended to inspect the perimeter of the base.
The guards were all Blood Servants converted by Julian. She dared not use her enthralling Talent, fearing Julian would notice.
In the distance, Zhao Yang was secretly monitoring Lilith's figure.
Suddenly!
A heart-pounding fluctuation came from the distant horizon!
By the time Zhao Yang realized it, it was too late!
Several silver moon blades, tearing through the cold sky, appeared out of thin air!
Immediately after, hundreds of Cultivators appeared simultaneously, like divine soldiers descending from the sky!
One of the powerful individuals with an invisibility Talent had perfectly concealed the entire assault team. When they appeared, it was a thunderous strike!
Zhao Yang, also at the Divine Breath Realm, was instantly killed by Song Xian's long-prepared sneak attack!
"Lilith, well done! The rest is up to us!" Song Xian's voice rang out like a great bell.
Lilith immediately flew towards Song Xian.
Just a minute ago, Commander Wang had informed everyone that Lilith was an inside agent, preventing any possible friendly fire.
The moment Zhao Yang perished—
Total war erupted with a roar!
"Boom—!!!"
The massive alloy gate of the fortress, strong enough to withstand a nuclear blast, was kicked hard as if by an invisible giant's foot!
Accompanied by a grating sound of twisting metal, the giant gate violently caved in, deformed, and finally exploded into countless fragments!
Bone-chilling polar currents, mixed with a violent Spiritual Qi storm, surged in!
Song Xian, with hundreds of Huaxia's Cultivation elites, made a powerful descent!
"Enemy attack! Highest alert!!!"
A piercing alarm instantly tore through the deadly silence of the base!
Lord Leon's Divine Sense surged outwards like a tide, instantly capturing the drastic changes outside!
He suddenly looked up, his eyes flashing with cold light, instantly locking onto Lilith's position!
"Huaxia... also plays such dirty tricks!" A cold, sinister smile stretched across his lips, his anger and killing intent boiling.
The [Undead Commander] Talent operated at full power!
"Howl—!!!"
Hair-raising roars suddenly erupted from every corner and every deep passage of the fortress!
As if the gates of Hell had opened!
