186: Chapter 186 Taking the Initiative

Boom!

Explosions rang out, and in a short while, millions of low-level monsters in front of Earth Spirit City's walls were annihilated.

Large airships suspended in the sky raised their giant muzzles, and with the blue light of energy accumulation, energy cannonballs comparable to Legendary Rank power were fired, landing in more distant areas.

Terrifying explosions, covering an area of nearly ten thousand meters, left one deep crater after another on the ground, each about ten meters deep and nearly a thousand meters wide.

Within a range of several thousand meters, even Gold Rank Monsters could not withstand the powerful explosions; in the core area of the explosion, the terrifying high temperature could instantly vaporize their bodies.

Even if they were not at the center of the explosion, the monsters' steel-like bodies were still torn to shreds by the shockwave.

"...!"

The scene of the Alliance Army's artillery barrage shook the hearts of the Spirit Race warriors, their astonishment undisguised, their mouths agape.

The new generation of weaponry was astonishingly powerful; the individual energy weapons in the hands of ordinary Alliance soldiers could unleash bombardments exceeding Gold Rank Four.

The immense power displayed by the large suspended airships above even reached Legendary Rank Three.

While these large weapons were incredibly powerful, it didn't mean they posed a threat to Legendary Rank Monsters.

The cannon fire's power reached Legendary Rank Three, and its attack speed was also very fast, but for Legendary Rank Professionals who possessed perception and could sense danger in advance...

Before the cannon fire even arrived, they could escape the center, and even if the subsequent shockwaves hit them, the threat to them was not significant.

Moreover, the large airships were merely relatively slow-moving mobile artillery platforms; once targeted, a Legendary Rank Professional capable of flight could easily destroy them.

Even if the airships flew tens of thousands of meters high, a Legendary Rank Professional, only able to detach from the ground by hundreds to thousands of meters, could still destroy them with long-range attacks.

Whoosh!

Streams of energy emanated from various locations outside the city, with attacks from Advanced Gold Rank Monsters primarily targeting the large airships in the sky.

Below the airships, Alliance Army warriors who saw the monsters attempting to attack, these Gold Rank Professionals tasked with protecting the airships, all unleashed energy attacks to intercept the incoming energy.

Bang!

The two energies collided, immediately creating an explosion area over a thousand meters wide; the large airship nearby took the full force of the shockwave, causing it to shake violently in the air.

To protect the airship, the control personnel could only maneuver the large airship to fly back several hundred meters, placing itself entirely within Earth Spirit City... Artillery fire was continuous, and countless sparks rose on the Fuxu Frontline, and in a short time, millions of monsters were utterly annihilated.

A strong stench of blood permeated the entire frontline, and countless monsters still charged across the blood-soaked ground.

The deaths of countless monsters did not cause the low-level monsters to retreat, unlike yesterday when they fled instinctively.

Under the command of high-level monsters, these unintelligent monsters had no fear of death.

After several rounds of artillery bombardment, the powerful monsters hidden in the rear also discovered various strange weapons that caused massive casualties to the monster horde.

However, they did not react to the deaths of countless monsters; low-level monsters died, and that was that.

But they couldn't continue like this, and soon these monsters made new moves, driving up even larger numbers of Black Iron and Bronze Rank Monsters.

Since they were so good at killing, they decided to let them kill to their heart's content.

Countless Black Iron and Bronze Rank Monsters replaced the original Silver and Gold Rank Monsters, appearing on the frontline.

In the Floating Spirit Void Realm, dense low-level monsters passed through the inter-realm influence zone and arrived in the Spirit Void Realm... Several hours later.

Countless monster carcasses covered the entire land, with a large number of weaker monsters still advancing, ignoring the explosions landing around them.

"We can't continue like this; the concentration of monster factors here has increased significantly."

On the city wall, War God Jin Yan, watching the deaths of a large number of monsters, frowned.

The deaths of countless monsters caused a large amount of monster factors to dissipate over the vast area of monster corpses in front.

Although he didn't know the monsters' intentions, if this continued, the dense, un-dissipating monster factors would become very troublesome.

At this moment, the concentration of monster factors outside was already approaching the level of the Void Realm; the dense strangeness would not dissipate, which would cause the nearby area to become an environment similar to the Void Realm.

By then, professionals whose strength had not reached the Legendary Rank and who did not yet possess the ability to resist the erosion of monster factors would not be able to stay in Earth Spirit City for too long.

If they stayed for too long, they would inevitably be eroded by monster factors and contract monster syndrome.

War God Jin Yan did not know the deeper layouts of those Epic Rank Monsters, and no one else knew either.

Facing the sudden change in the monsters, the warriors could only kill the lowest-level monsters; such a battle was completely meaningless.

Under the energy bombardment, the crystal cores of these low-level monsters were also destroyed, wasting expensive energy blocks for nothing.

One must know that every attack unleashed by the energy weapons in the hands of Alliance soldiers consumed a large amount of energy; using them against Black Iron and Bronze Rank Monsters was like using a cannon to swat a fly, completely unnecessary.

"Indeed, it's time to change our combat strategy."

The Epic War Gods present all strongly agreed with War God Jin Yan's words; if this continued, the corpses of low-level monsters would pile up to the city walls.

After several hours of fighting, both the Human Alliance Army and the Spirit Race had grown somewhat weary.

Currently, the numerous soldiers had been divided into three parts, with each person taking a several-hour shift and the others resting.

Amidst the incessant explosions, a new combat plan was discussed and implemented... All Legendary Rank Professionals who had not previously been deployed were sent out; the number of Legendary Rank Professionals of the Spirit Race stationed in Earth Spirit City exceeded five hundred.

This number was not much less than the total number of Legendary Professionals in the entire Human Alliance.

More than twenty Alliance Legendary Rank Professionals, including Fang Yuan, were dispatched together with the Spirit Race.

The deployment of over five hundred Legendary Professionals instantly unleashed a surge on the Fuxu Frontline.

Every Legendary Rank Professional was a walking bulldozer, capable of clearing an area of tens of thousands of meters in a moment.

The numerous Legendary Rank Professionals were spread across the hundred-kilometer long battle line; in just over a minute, they Advanced twenty kilometers.

Their efficiency was countless times higher than that of Alliance soldiers wielding new energy weapons.

Above these Legendary Rank Professionals, more than ten Epic War Gods hovered a thousand meters in the sky, providing them with protection.

Additionally, as the operation was executed, the warriors of the Sixth Alliance Army and the warriors of the Spirit Race followed behind, steadily pushing the front line forward.

The plan of Jin Yan and others was straightforward; it was simply to push the front line forward by several tens of kilometers.

They had no way to stop the fact that countless monsters were passing through the inter-realm convergence area and entering the Spirit Void Realm.

If they reacted too aggressively, it was hard to say whether it would attract the covetous gaze of the monsters in the Floating Spirit Void Realm.

Compared to the Floating Spirit Void Realm, the overall strength of the Spirit Void Realm was too weak; War God Jin Yan and the others dared not gamble, as one misstep could lead to eternal damnation.

In summary, only pushing the front line forward was the best option.

This would also prevent a large amount of monster factors from affecting Earth Spirit City, while simultaneously establishing a defense line to prevent monsters from penetrating deeper into the Spirit Void Realm.

Unfortunately, neither the Spirit Race nor the Human Alliance knew the true purpose of the Epic Rank Monsters.
