237: Chapter 244 Death Swamp, Dragon Soars into the Sky!
---
---
Once these seemingly obvious traps were placed, they were immediately concealed by the complex terrain and environment of the Land of Extreme Darkness.
The Land of Extreme Darkness is a region perpetually shrouded in thick miasma, where visibility is extremely low.
Impenetrable black fog, the Death Swamp hidden beneath the weeds, and toxic miasma.
Here, nature itself is the greatest enemy.
Having placed the traps according to orders, the combat engineer squad leader took off his mask and dialed the communication device.
The walkie-talkie beeped, and he swallowed a pill before speaking.
"Combat Engineer Squad 6 has finished placement; the southern entrance to the swamp has been completely blockaded..."
"Combat Engineer Squad 7 has finished placement; the western entrance to the swamp has been blockaded."
"Combat Engineer Squad 3 has finished placement; the southeastern entrance to the swamp has been blockaded."
...
Listening to the reports of mission completion coming through the communicator, the Lord of India beamed with joy.
As long as the Dragon Kingdom does not launch a surprise attack tonight, their plan to advance south will be stranded in his hands.
The Land of Extreme Darkness is a landing zone whose difficulty can be either very low or very high.
The reason for the low difficulty is that the Xenomorphs of the Land of Extreme Darkness have very low aggression; they basically belong to the type that won't provoke you if you don't provoke them.
Therefore, as long as one expands slowly, there is no difficulty in surviving in the Land of Extreme Darkness.
But the reason why the Land of Extreme Darkness can also have very high difficulty lies in its bizarre natural environment.
A land that never sees the sun, miasma that never dissipates, and the Death Swamp that covers the land and can swallow everything.
The difficulty of this region lies in the fact that it is hard to develop, and even if one does develop, it is very difficult to leave the Land of Extreme Darkness.
The swamps of the Land of Extreme Darkness are not only widely distributed, but individual swamps are large in area and extremely deep.
They can even swallow large transportation equipment like off-road tanks and trucks entirely.
Moreover, roads cannot be built in areas where swamps are distributed; unless one learns environmental modification, it is impossible to produce heavy units in the connected swamp areas.
Of course, there is one flip side: if troops deep in the Land of Extreme Darkness have difficulty leaving the swamp, then enemies outside the swamp also have difficulty entering the swamp area.
Located in the southern region of the territory of the Lord of India, spanning between the Land of Extreme Darkness and the Eye of the Earth, is a massive Death Swamp stretching for hundreds of kilometers.
Here, routes capable of supporting infantry units are extremely scarce, let alone allowing heavy armored vehicles to drive in.
Without troop carriers, the Dragon Kingdom troops can only walk in on foot.
The Lord of India suddenly grinned with a sinister smile.
There is a reason why the Death Swamp is called the Death Swamp.
In order to scout paths out, his Indian mechanized troops paid the price of at least a thousand lives and countless various facilities.
This is a man-eating monster; any inexperienced team that enters here will have their lives ruthlessly stripped away.
Even if the armor is thick, what does it matter? In front of the swamp, the fate of both armored and unarmored units is to be swallowed, and armored units will sink even faster.
How many soldiers does the Dragon Kingdom have? Can they afford to sacrifice a thousand lives to scout the path?
And even if they are lucky and happen to take the right path.
But the few passable paths above the Death Swamp have already been completely blockaded by him with traps.
Anti-tank mines, various high-powered explosives, and whaling nets.
As long as these things are triggered, even if they cannot kill the soldiers on the spot, they can blast them into the swamp.
Once they fall into the swamp, even the gods would have a hard time saving them.
Missing tonight, the Dragon Kingdom has missed the final deadline to pass through the swamp.
In the future, if they dare to break into the swamp, their troops will surely be trapped deep within it.
In the end, whether they pay a huge price to get out of the swamp or are wiped out inside, it will consume a lot of time.
This amount of time will be enough for Japan to develop the ultimate poison, at which point the remaining troops of the Dragon Kingdom will all become corpses!
A sharp glint flashed in the eyes of the Lord of India; actually, he had a decent impression of Su Yang.
It is just a pity that he is a citizen of the Dragon Kingdom, and the Dragon Kingdom was once a stumbling block on India's path to becoming a global power.
As a major Asian power, India far exceeds the Dragon Kingdom in population, civilization, and even motorcycle passenger skills.
Why is it that the Dragon Kingdom can step on their heads to enter the United Nations, while they are listed as a second-tier country?
He still remembers that India had applied to join the permanent members of the Security Council many times, but without exception, all were vetoed by the Dragon Kingdom.
Later, their proposal to cancel the veto power of the permanent members was also vetoed by the Dragon Kingdom.
What humiliation!
Fortunately, the Forbidden Area Trial descended, knocking the Dragon Kingdom off its pedestal.
However, not only did they not accept their fate, but they also want to recover through this trial?
How could it be that easy!
With him, the Lord of India, here, and with their civilization, the oldest in the world, here, the Dragon Kingdom cannot rise again!
Ding ding ---
While he was thinking, a message notification sound rang in his mind.
[Argentine Lord: How is the progress of the swamp trap placement?]
[Lord of India: Hmph, when we Indians do things, we prioritize speed and efficiency; we completed the full blockade two hours ago!]
[This time, let alone the Dragon Kingdom troops, not even a mosquito or a fly can enter our Land of Extreme Darkness]
[Argentine Lord: You must do your best to blockade it, ensure every place is covered; the Dragon Kingdom always manages to accomplish impossible things]
[Lord of India: I admit they have some skills; if we clash head-on, my great Indian ace mechanized troops might fall behind]
[But this time it really is different; this time it is the God of the Forbidden Ground blocking them!]
[Even if the Dragon Kingdom's combat power is strong, what can they do facing this swamp that covers hundreds of kilometers? Could they fly over?]
[Argentine Lord: Anyway, be cautious; we are the last line of defense for the Three-Party Alliance]
[The United States side has already started aircraft research; once the US aircraft and Japan's poison gas bombs are finished, the Dragon Kingdom will never be able to turn things around]
[So you must be cautious; the longer we drag it out, the higher the winning chances for the Three-Party Alliance]
[Lord of India: Rest assured, not only the swamp but even the rear positions have been reinforced layer by layer. If the Dragon Kingdom dares to come, they will die!]
[Argentine Lord: I believe in you; then let us join forces and complete the ultimate kill against the Dragon Kingdom!]
[Lord of India: With me here, it's a guaranteed kill...]
