246: Chapter 246 Red Locusts Flyed By Here?!
The smoke of the battlefield slowly dissipated under the blowing of the cold wind.
That invincible army, composed of two thousand main battle tanks, had charged over with an oppressive air.
Now, however, only piles of scrap metal wreckage emitting acrid black smoke remained.
The tank drivers, commanders, and the fully armed soldiers inside the compartments...
Without exception, they had all been wiped out in the crushing massacre that just occurred, leaving not even a trace of ash behind.
Not even a single complete corpse was left behind.
At the same time.
Block 777, the core command center of the Squid People.
As the last Merkava tank on the front line exploded.
The huge real-time holographic monitoring screen in the center of the command center flickered twice.
Then, it completely turned into a screen full of glaring black and white static.
Zzzzt— Zzzzt—
Rata Hu stood blankly in front of the main control console.
He stared at the radar screen with lifeless eyes.
The dense green dots of friendly forces on it had all gone dark.
Replacing them were screens full of gray skull icons representing death!
At the very bottom of the screen, a string of cold data pierced his nerves like a sharp blade.
[Friendly forces surviving: 0 / 2000]
"Gone?"
"All gone?!"
Rata Hu grabbed his hair tightly with both hands and pulled forcefully, his eyes filled with an unshakable despair and fear.
"My God..."
"What kind of... what kind of monster opponent did we provoke?!"
The entire command center fell into a deathly silence.
The oppressive atmosphere made it hard for everyone to breathe.
"It's over... We are completely finished."
The Minister of Defense's face turned ashen, his legs went weak, and he collapsed into his chair.
"That was two thousand main battle tanks!"
"Even if it were a group of pigs, it would take days and nights to slaughter them all!"
"And it only took a few minutes? They were all wiped out?!"
Another high-ranking official was trembling all over, his voice choked with sobs.
"They aren't human at all, they're Transformers!"
"We shouldn't have provoked the Dragon Country people!"
Listening to the wails of the surrounding generals.
Adjutant Levi suppressed his fear, swallowed, and mustered the courage to step forward.
"Lord Rata, what... what should we do next?"
Levi's eyes flickered, and he lowered his voice.
"At this point, should we summon that..."
"No!"
Rata Hu turned his head abruptly and sternly interrupted Levi.
"Now is not the time!"
"That power is uncontrollable. We absolutely cannot use our trump card until the very last moment of life and death!"
Rata Hu took two deep breaths, forcing himself to calm down.
He released his hair, his eyes gradually becoming venomous and sharp.
Like a viper hiding in the shadows.
"Everyone, calm down!"
Rata Hu barked coldly, and the generals in the command center immediately quieted down.
"Don't forget, this is a survival game."
"In a survival game, there are no eternal enemies, only a craving for resources!"
"No matter how strong the Dragon Country people are, they still need to survive, and they still need top-tier life-saving resources!"
A sinister, calculating smirk curled the corners of Rata Hu's mouth.
"Since we can't outgun them, we can choose to cooperate with them."
"Give them an offer they absolutely cannot refuse!"
Levi was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized.
"Lord Rata, do you mean... the Elf Secret Medicine?"
Rata Hu nodded heavily: "Exactly."
"Immediately send a smart messenger to contact them."
"Just say the conflict just now was all a misunderstanding!"
"It was the frontline commander acting on his own."
"To express our apologies, we, Block 777, are willing to officially form an alliance with the Dragon Country!"
Rata Hu walked to the top-secret safe and entered a complicated set of commands.
With a click, the safe door opened.
Inside lay two special vials, silently emitting a rich, red light of life.
"Take these two bottles of the highest purity Elf Secret Medicine and give them to them!"
Rata Hu handed the vials to Levi, his eyes full of cold amusement.
"Tell them that this medicine can not only instantly regenerate severed limbs but even significantly extend their lifespan!"
"This is a miraculous medicine unique to the wasteland!"
"Once they taste the sweetness of this Life Secret Medicine... they will absolutely go crazy for it!"
"If they want more, they must sit down and cooperate with us obediently!"
...
The scene returns to the smoke-filled ruins of the battlefield.
The Red Wolf Tank, like a proud steel god of war, stood quietly on the scorched earth.
All around it was a steel graveyard of two thousand tanks.
And by the huge rock behind the tank.
The Elf Elder peeked out halfway, staring at the scene before him, which looked like purgatory.
A breeze blew by, kicking up a flurry of sparks.
The Elder's mouth was wide open, his jaw almost hitting the ground.
Won?
Really won?!
That was the elite army of Squid People that had driven their Elf race into a desperate situation!
In front of this Dragon Country man, they couldn't even last a few minutes?!
Just as the Elder was still trembling at the terrifying lethality of the Red Wolf Tank.
In the distance, at the end of the pitch-black wasteland, came another dull roar of engines!
Rumble—
The ground began to shake.
The Elder's face turned pale; his heart, which had just relaxed, tightened again.
"Oh no!"
"It's the Squid People's follow-up reinforcements!"
Mia, who was beside him, perked up her furry rabbit ears and twitched them nimbly.
She was not afraid at all; instead, her face was full of excitement.
"It's not the enemy!"
"Elder, it's the main force of our Red Wolf Guild!"
As soon as she finished speaking.
One, ten, one hundred, one thousand...
Countless heavy armored vehicles, gleaming with a cold metallic luster, formed a massive column, crushing through the night, and roared into the battlefield!
These vehicles were all painted a glaring scarlet red.
They stopped in perfect unison in front of Lu Yuan, their movements clean and efficient.
Immediately after.
The doors opened in unison.
One fully armed driver after another jumped off their vehicles, strode up to Lu Yuan, and saluted.
"Guild Master! Captain of the Third Battalion of the Blade Group, Zhao Dezhu, reporting for duty!"
"Guild Master! Captain of the Eighth Battalion of the Logistics Team, Li Qiang, reporting for duty!"
"Guild Master! Reconnaissance Group..."
The deafening sound of reports echoed in the night sky for a long time.
The Elf Elder stared blankly at those red vehicles, each exuding a terrifying pressure.
His legs were uncontrollably shaking like crazy.
The oppressive feeling exuded by those vehicles was definitely countless times stronger than the Squid People's Merkava tanks!
Just as the Elder was shocked beyond measure.
Lu Yuan's lazy voice slowly drifted out, issuing the order to clean up the battlefield.
"Brothers, you've worked hard. All troops, move out and clean up the battlefield!"
The scene that followed.
Became a memory that the Elf Elder would never be able to erase in his long life.
Following Lu Yuan's order.
Sturdy, broad-shouldered Dragon Country men and middle-aged women jumped off the vehicles.
What they held in their hands was not weapons, but...
Wrenches, big axes, chainsaws, and cutters!
Thousands of members, eyes gleaming, charged toward the wreckage of those Merkava tanks.
Immediately after, a clanging sound rang out.
Disassembling, packing, and storing—the whole operation was smooth and fluid!
In less than half an hour.
The steel wreckage that covered the ground had vanished without a trace!
Only craters filled the ground, telling the story of the battle that had once taken place in the cold wind.
The Elf Elder stared dumbfounded at the bare wasteland.
His head full of question marks.
????
"Just now... did a swarm of red locusts fly past here?!"
