125: Chapter 126 Arrival on the Battlefield

The monsters were not of high Rank.

Most were D-Rank or below.

But their numbers were terrifyingly vast.

Hundreds of thousands of monsters had gathered around each Base City.

Humanity simply did not have that many Warriors.

They had many F-Class Warriors.

But F-Class Warriors were utterly powerless against a monster tide of this scale.

Only E-Rank and above Warriors could offer effective resistance.

Li Cang slowly spoke.

His voice was unusually grave.

"All Warriors below C-Rank, sixth layer, to your positions. Move immediately."

His command was transmitted to every Base City.

Every Warrior below C-Rank, sixth layer,

whether they were D-rank Warriors or E-Rank experts,

began to mobilize and prepare.

The entire fortress's defensive mechanisms were activated.

Rows of laser cannons and nuclear-electric cannons began to power up.

As for why higher-Rank Warriors were not joining the battle,

the reason was simple.

They needed to conserve their strength.

This was only the first wave of the monster tide.

No one knew how many more waves would follow.

Eventually, even B-Rank might have to intervene.

Li Cang also ordered the experts above C-Rank, sixth layer to seek out the leaders of their respective monster tides.

Only by defeating them

could the monster tide's assault be stopped.

Soon,

large-scale battles erupted one after another.

Warriors and monsters clashed in chaotic melees.

Engaging in brutal explosions of combat.

Squadrons of fighter jets and drones circled overhead,

intercepting swarms of ferocious flying beasts.

Civilians crowded into various shelters.

Inside the bunkers of A-1 Base City,

all those who were not Warriors had taken refuge.

Luo Nianwei and her family were among them.

Everyone watched the battle unfolding outside with tense anxiety on the projected screens.

Luo Nianyin asked timidly,

"Where is Big Brother Lu?"

Luo Nianwei's heart suddenly began to pound wildly.

Lu Chen had gone to the Alliance headquarters building.

He had not yet returned.

Song Yue was on the verge of tears from worry.

Lu Yuan gently put an arm around her shoulders.

"Don't worry. Our son is clever. He knows what to do."

Meanwhile,

Lu Daohong and the other B-rank Warriors had already taken up positions guarding key strategic points.

The situation was utter chaos.

The Warriors were fighting with everything they had at their disposal.

Cai Jiguang was also present.

Previously, he had been busy elsewhere with other matters.

He had just arrived at A-1 Base City

when the monster tide erupted.

Perhaps his luck was truly bad.

C-Rank experts were still highly efficient at killing D-Rank and lower monsters.

With each of their attacks,

they could slaughter dozens of monsters at once.

But the number of monsters showed no sign of decreasing.

And their stamina and energy were constantly being depleted.

Upon the fortress walls,

Li Cang let out a heavy sigh.

If this situation continued,

the higher-ups like them would have no choice but to intervene.

The monster army surged forward endlessly like a tidal wave.

Most worryingly,

they still could not locate the leader of these monsters.

A cold thought formed in Li Cang's mind.

Was this its doing?

What does it want?

To start another war?

Does it already have enough confidence to attempt that Breakthrough?

Three hours passed.

Inside the Secret Realm...

Bright No. 7 stared wide-eyed at the scenes unfolding within the Trial Tower.

"What in the world is happening there? Did someone tamper with this Trial Tower's parameters? Why do those monsters look like helpless, weak chickens before this guy?"

By now, Lu Chen was already on the seventh floor.

He was clearly enjoying the battle process.

He did not immediately crush the monsters with overwhelming force.

Instead, he chose to engage them in a fluid dance at his own pace.

He wanted to test their combat intricacies,

to probe the differences between them and the monsters on the planet.

His relaxed expression, however, left Bright No. 7 utterly bewildered.

These monsters didn't seem like the half-finished products from this planet.

They were apex predators of the Universe,

possessing unparalleled carapaces, ceaseless elemental glands, and claws as sharp as origin energy weapons.

Every movement carried a lethal threat,

like innate super-weapons.

Bright No. 7 felt its artificial saliva had dried up from swallowing.

Damn it... this guy is a monster himself.

How did a low-level, primitive planet like this give birth to such a human?

At the same time,

Lu Chen split a portion of his Mental Energy to focus on his Clones.

He couldn't help but sigh inwardly...

It seemed he would have to intervene.

The situation outside was dire.

Each of Lu Chen's Clones possessed roughly over ninety million tons of base strength.

Equivalent to an ordinary B-Rank, third layer Warrior.

He had condensed nine Clones.

One was near his parents and Nianwei.

One was at A-1 Base City.

One each at the other A-Class Base Cities.

Another two hours passed.

The monster tide still showed no signs of abating.

All Warriors above C-Rank, sixth layer had already joined the battlefield.

The higher-ranking defenders began to sweat profusely.

Xiao Wanlong's expression also grew exceptionally grim.

Was humanity's defense truly so fragile?

And these were only low-Rank monsters...

Just as Li Cang was about to issue the order for B-rank Warriors to join the battle immediately—

A blinding streak of light cut across the sky.

Immediately after,

a figure descended upon the airspace above the battlefield.

Clad from head to toe in radiant elemental battle armor,

it looked like a War God descending from the heavens.
