142: Chapter 142 Electromagnetic Pulse Bomb! The Enemy's Tactics!

It was an unspoken consensus among the high-ranking officials of all nations that the Alien Ruins contained treasures.

That was why, this time, three nations were determined to mobilize their entire national forces to fight over the Qiyuan Mountains.

If they could seize the ruins and study them thoroughly, there might be a chance to increase the nation's overall strength, and it might even enable the domestic Martial God to break through the Martial God Realm!

But even so, General Gemu still found it unbelievable that Li Mo's weapon could instantly kill a Heaven-Earth Realm martial artist; this was simply too formidable!

The strategic research value of such a weapon was immense, and a look of greed instantly appeared in General Gemu's eyes.

Thinking of this, General Gemu suddenly ordered the entire army to stop retreating.

"Stop, all of you! We are returning to the forest area to annihilate the enemy!"

Everyone was bewildered by General Gemu's fickleness. Only moments ago, he had been trembling, but now he seemed as though he had been injected with stimulants, extremely excited.

General Gemu's adjutant immediately asked in confusion: "General Gemu, didn't you just say that the enemy has a Martial God? That is a Martial God! If we enter the forest area, will we even survive?"

General Gemu told his adjutant his hypothesis. He now believed that it was impossible for there to be a Martial God in the forest area; otherwise, they would have all been wiped out long ago.

The greatest possibility was that Li Mo had obtained a revolutionary weapon.

However, at this moment, the adjutant also voiced his own doubts: "General Gemu, if the enemy really possesses a weapon capable of easily killing a Heaven-Earth Realm martial artist, wouldn't we be courting death by going in?"

To be honest, the adjutant's concerns were valid.

Even if there was no Martial God in the forest, the fact that Li Mo could instantly kill a Heaven-Earth Realm martial artist remained. When facing top-tier martial artists, sheer numbers provided no advantage.

For example, if you were to remove the two Heaven-Earth Realm martial artists, General Gemu and General Erik, from this army of one hundred thousand, then only about ten Heaven-Earth Realm martial artists would be needed to slaughter the entire army.

Of course, this was based on the premise of a direct confrontation where none of the one hundred thousand soldiers fled.

If Li Mo could easily kill a Heaven-Earth Realm martial artist, what did one hundred thousand people matter?

They were not even as good as one hundred thousand pigs!

Facing the adjutant's doubts, General Gemu had his own conjectures.

He felt that the weapon Li Mo possessed had limitations and could not be used at will. Otherwise, Li Mo would not have needed to use various tactics against the Black Earth Tribe's army; he could have simply used that mysterious weapon to bomb them!

The Black Earth Tribe would definitely have suffered heavy casualties!

But Li Mo had not done so. General Gemu did not think Li Mo was a soft-hearted person; on the contrary, Li Mo was ruthless. The fact that he had directly skinned Bal alive and sent him back proved this point.

Therefore, the only possibility was that Li Mo's weapon had limitations!

Having figured this out, General Gemu made tactical adjustments accordingly.

"Everyone listen to me! If you encounter the enemy commander, remember not to engage in direct conflict with him. Report it immediately! Then surround and capture him alive!"

Having learned his lesson, General Gemu dared not initiate an attack on Li Mo again. Instead, he would use their numerical advantage to surround and intercept Li Mo until he was captured alive.

If he could obtain the weapon Li Mo possessed, it would definitely be a major achievement!

Perhaps he might even be able to inherit Morpheus's position in the future!

The army of one hundred thousand finally marched into the dense forest in a grand manner.

General Gemu had already guessed that Li Mo had executed a tactic of breaking up the whole into parts, so he also employed the same tactic. He split the one hundred thousand troops into one hundred battalions, but each squad had over a thousand people!

Compared to the Vanguard Battalion, where each group had at most ten people, that was simply overwhelming!

It could be said that if an encounter occurred in the forest, the brothers of the Vanguard Battalion would surely lose!

...

After killing General Erik, Li Mo had been standing on high ground observing. Initially, seeing General Gemu flee with his army, he had been somewhat worried.

Because once General Gemu reported this matter, it would be a major diplomatic incident. If handled poorly, the whole world would be plunged into crisis.

But not long after, he saw General Gemu turn back, and he instantly breathed a sigh of relief.

At least General Gemu was not stupid enough to believe that a Martial God had truly intervened.

Afterward, he saw General Gemu break up the entire army into smaller units to conduct a carpet search of the entire forest area, and he understood that General Gemu was coming for the Vanguard Battalion.

Although the diplomatic crisis was averted, the next phase would be a severe test for the Vanguard Battalion.

At this moment, Zheng Jiahao complained: "Damn! They still dare to come? A Heaven-Earth Realm martial artist was just killed instantly, right? Are these people really not afraid of death? What if there really is a Martial God in the forest?"

Li Mo gave a bitter smile and then said: "I think the other side has already realized there is no Martial God in the forest, and they might even have guessed that I used some kind of method to kill that Heaven-Earth Realm martial artist. Such a method is enough to make the enemy commander drool with greed; they might now be coming with the goal of capturing me alive!"

Li Mo's speculation was accurate and correct; right now, what General Gemu wanted most was to capture Li Mo with his own hands.

Unfortunately, the armor of the heavenly emperor could not trigger its divine power unless the enemy actively attacked, and even if the enemy did attack, there was only a probability of it triggering.

Otherwise, if Li Mo could just take out General Gemu and cause the enemy to lose their commander and fall into chaos, this battle would be much easier.

However, now that the enemy had broken up their one hundred thousand troops into smaller units, it seemed easier to annihilate the Vanguard Battalion, but in reality, the disadvantages were obvious. It was difficult to command when broken into smaller units, and all the troops were fighting on their own.

The situation for the Vanguard Battalion was the same. Li Mo could not equip every squad with radios, but fortunately, there was an extraordinary person in Li Mo's troops.

The specialty of this extraordinary person was that he could control small insect creatures, especially ants, so he had a nickname in the unit called Ant Man.

Of course, he himself could not grow large or small at will; his ability was simply controlling various ants.

In fact, his combat ability was not outstanding, and could even be said to be very weak; a Blood Transformation Realm martial artist could easily handle him.

But he had an advantage that no one else could match: when the entire battlefield was blocked by various devices preventing intelligence transmission, he could transmit intelligence in the most primitive way.

Long before the expedition, Li Mo had anticipated that the enemy might use EMP devices to block battlefield signal transmission, so he had asked Zheng Jiahao to select this Ant Man, specifically for the purpose of executing intelligence transmission under extreme conditions.

Therefore, when assigning teams, Li Mo had kept Ant Man with him all along.

Now was the time for Ant Man to play his part.

Li Mo was just about to have Ant Man pass information to all the squads when, unexpectedly, a dazzling star suddenly rose into the sky, followed by a strong flash of light that exploded, as if it were going to blind everyone's eyes.

Immediately afterward, Li Mo and the others felt an inexplicable noise coming into their ears, which made them feel very uncomfortable.

"EMP bomb! How confident are they?"
