141: Chapter 141 Biological Weapons, A Difficult Battle!
A joint chatroom for the US Lord and the Japan Alliance.
All lords from both Alliances, along with the Lord of India from the Independent Alliance, were present.
"Lord of Japan: They said the Great Qin didn't have oil or vehicles unlocked, yet they have already crossed at least 100 kilometers!"
"US Lord: If the Independent Alliance didn't provide oil, then they must have extracted the oil themselves."
"Iraq: Impossible. Who else could have such a high output besides our six Middle Eastern countries!"
"US Lord: This is Great Qin! Their units have stealth capabilities, and their units can tank hits from tanks!!"
"We can no longer use any previous standards to judge them! Great Qin is on a completely different tech tree than us!"
"Lord of India: Then what should we do? It feels like we can't contend with them at all."
"US Lord: I said we must join forces and fight the enemy together!"
"In the Battle of Heroic Souls, each of our countries only has 100 units; this is not our full strength at all."
"If we open up a front, how could we not be able to defeat them with the combined firepower of our three major Alliances?"
"They only have one general, while we have no limit on building tanks and artillery!"
"He might be able to withstand one piece of artillery or one tank, but can he withstand dozens of tanks or dozens of artillery pieces?"
"Turkey: As long as we offer up our lives, the Lord will forgive our transgressions and grant us strength."
"The ocean has already formed, and next will be the stars filling the sky. He is getting closer and closer to us."
"US Lord: Mr. Adem, have you lost your mind? We are discussing serious matters!"
"Lord of Japan: And there are biological weapons. No matter how powerful the Imperial Armor is, it cannot withstand biological weapons."
"Anthrax, bubonic plague, cholera bacteria, smallpox virus, mustard gas, hydrogen chloride, VX nerve agent—no matter what method we use, Japan must wash away its humiliation!"
The biological weapons mentioned by Tojo Injin were somewhat horrifying, and all the lords knew that Japan and some other countries did indeed have the option of using biological weapons.
Such inhumane weapons of mass destruction were terrifying existences, even within the Forbidden Ground.
After a brief moment of contemplation, the US Lord spoke up to break the silence.
"US Lord: The method to deal with them can be discussed later. Right now, all lords must make exploration their top priority."
"Only by mapping out this round of the Forbidden Ground as quickly as possible can we proceed with subsequent deployments."
"Now, please have each lord convey the information of their respective areas, and I will compile it."
Rustle, rustle, rustle...
Countless Xenomorphs were sprinting through the dense forest, heading in the direction of the Qin Dynasty territory.
Two Scouts riding Blazing Steeds were following closely on one side.
Su Yang switched to the Scout's perspective, and the scene before him gave him a great shock.
He saw that behind the tide-like Bug Swarm Tide, there was a giant insectoid at least 15 meters tall!
It walked on two legs as thick as giant trees, and every step it took caused the mountains to crumble and the earth to split.
Above that were four massive insect blades, the serrations on them as large as human heads.
The most exaggerated part was its head—a massive, hammer-shaped hard object wrapped in a thick, pale blue crystal shell.
Except for its head, its entire body was also wrapped in a hard, pale blue crystal shell.
In addition to one giant siege beast and the regular Stinger Bug squads, Su Yang also saw a new species in the rear.
Compared to the Stinger Bugs, which were more like spiders, this group behind them was more like mantises.
What was important was that their method of movement was completely different from the Stinger Bugs; they all moved by jumping!
Moreover, their jumping height was astonishing; they could reach a height of about 6 meters during normal marching.
The Gray Rock Clan Insect Swarm from the crystal mining area!
Su Yang's eyes flickered; this lineup was truly massive!
At this speed, the Bug Swarm Tide would reach the territory in another hour.
Even if the troops led by General Meng Tian and General Li Xin ran for their lives, it would be impossible for them to make it back in time.
He would have to command this battle himself!
Fortunately, he had expanded the troops last week; otherwise, if the territory only had twenty soldiers left like before, it would be finished.
Excluding the troops already sent out, there were 50 Armored Elite Soldiers, 40 Armored Crossbowmen, and two units each of the Skyfire Guard and Fire Dragon Guard remaining in the territory.
The scale of the defensive troops was almost the same as the scale of the troops sent out to campaign.
Although there was no general to command, the territory still had defensive tower facilities.
Moreover, based on the experience of fighting the insectoids from the crystal mining area, they preferred to charge with melee units.
Units like Spitting Insects, Burrowing Giant Insects, or Exterminators did not appear in their ranks.
This meant there was no need to mobilize the individual combat power of hero units to deal with any special units.
This was a head-on clash between the soldiers of both sides!
Considering the appearance of the jumping bugs and the siege bug, Su Yang did not dare to neglect the wall construction.
With a flicker of his thought, he invested iron ore resources into the walls, rapidly upgrading the outer perimeter of the walls.
As resources were invested, the originally gray-red copper walls began to change rapidly.
The height rose to 16 meters, and the appearance changed from red copper to ink-black iron walls.
As soon as the iron walls appeared, the temperature within the territory dropped by three degrees.
The entire city became colder and more majestic.
Besides the walls, there were the defensive towers; in fact, every upgrade would add new ballista towers.
However, because Su Yang's focus had always been on external punitive expeditions, there had been no time to build the subsequent ballista towers.
Now that the massive army was pressing in, he had to push all efforts he could make to the limit.
There were a total of 10 ballista towers, and Su Yang placed them evenly on the north, east, and south sides.
One on each of the three corners, and two in the middle of each wall.
This way, the north side alone had 4 ballista towers that could provide damage.
With 10 ballista towers and 1 skyfire tower, Su Yang still had great confidence in this defensive battle.
Confidence is one thing, but divination was still indispensable.
Su Yang opened the Astrology Tower panel; this thing had a magical quality.
Once you unlock it, you want to divine everything.
Especially things you are unsure about.
"command points - 5000"
"Battle prediction activated, astral deduction in progress..."
"Battle deduction complete. The deduction for this battle is: Dire!"
"Deduction suggestion: Do not attack head-on; only by using wit can you strike deep into the marrow and kill instantly."
"Provides a disaster-relief buff, Hidden Mystery: After the entire army deals damage to soldiers, the spread rate of the poison increases by 20%."
The divination result was Dire!
Su Yang's eyes flickered, and his vigilance rose greatly.
It took both General Li Xin and General Meng Tian fighting together to resolve the previous result of 'Stingy', yet this time it was 'Dire'.
The level of danger was truly quite high!
Judging by the disaster-relief buff below, the key this time lay in using poison!
