The game has become a real alternate world-Chapter 862 - 544: Underlying Currents Surge

Tower of Trial.

Surrounding this miraculous structure made of black, stretching high walls, a large number of supporting buildings have begun to emerge in this area.

The Night Watcher has already shifted the focus of the Lebia Continent towards here, establishing all Night Watcher departments in this location, with various facilities fully equipped.

It can be foreseen that it might not be long before this area replaces the Eastern Wilderness as the largest region within the Night Watcher’s sphere of influence.

Kana sat in an office, listening to the latest report.

This morning, the Chaos Faction launched a full-scale attack, causing the previously eased paperwork to pile up again.

However, Kana typically does not involve himself much in processing such war reports, and mostly transfers them to the Command Camp.

He only needs to understand the general situation and key points.

"Are you saying the Evil Gods have started engaging in deep cooperation in the true sense?" Kana asked Alyris beside him.

Alyris nodded, her brows furrowed, clearly aware of the danger contained in this intelligence.

"Yes, Your Highness. Judging from the feedback from the battlefield, this is indeed the case.

They have fully intervened in the Ratman war, no longer merely providing knowledge and technical support as before, but personally investing in it. Large numbers of Evil God Followers troops and their Apostles have begun to roam the battlefield in formation, engaging in combat with us."

Saying this, Alyris seemed to see new intelligence, paused for a moment, then continued: "The latest intelligence indicates that the world’s barrier seems to have weakened once again, and this has been confirmed by Cui Yu.

The power of Evil God Followers has become stronger, but judging from the confrontation situation on the battlefield, with the Tower of Trial in use, the Night Watcher’s strength is enough to handle them with composure and maintain an absolute suppression stance."

After listening to Alyris’s report, Kana nodded.

The cooperation trend among the Four Gods was already in their plan. The pressure brought by the Tower of Trial will inevitably urge tighter cooperation among the Evil Gods.

Thus, neither Kana nor the strategists and officers in the Command Camp feel surprised by this.

It’s just that this sudden full-scale attack is quite puzzling.

However, according to the intelligence, the main force of the attack is the Blood God’s troops, which fits their usual style.

It is both a demonstration and a desire for battle.

Thinking of this, Kana glanced at the map.

From the map, it is clear that the United Army’s current defensive circle has expanded nearly twice compared to winter.

The southern protrusion is about to approach the Rats’ isolation zone. Once the right timing is found to break through on two fronts, a gap can be opened, allowing the defense forces trapped in the center of the continent to connect with the outside world through the coast and the largest port city.

This is crucial.

Currently, the Four Gods’ or rather the Chaos Faction’s forces absolutely will not stand by and watch them smoothly achieve this goal.

However, according to Kana’s estimation, the Night Watcher’s current troop strength is enough to support completing this strategic plan.

To realize this strategic goal, advancements in less critical directions have been temporarily slowed down, with the Night Watcher’s forces being concentrated at crucial breakthrough points.

Despite the Night Watcher’s increased strength, due to limited numbers and the vastness of the Lebia Continent, resource allocation still faces challenges.

"Notify the Magic Power Weapon Research Room, have them bring out the latest developed weapons, and first distribute them to those locations where the defensive forces are relatively thin.

Incidentally, collect actual battlefield data and see how to improve it later."

...

Rusty Plain.

Amidst the black torrent, dark blue light emerged, accompanied by booming sounds as large objects moved towards the defensive line.

When twelve giant golems, resembling Demon Gods, dragging purple carpets of flesh appeared on the horizon, the defenders finally understood that the previous two days’ offensive was mere warm-up.

"Why here? Is there something particularly important in this location?" Huo Lin was baffled.

Admittedly, the enemy dispatched such powerful troops for attack, even if they chose to retreat and abandon this plain, it wouldn’t cause much loss.

But the enemy making such a big effort makes them more cautious.

These giant Evil God war machines, called "mobile meat grinders," stand fifteen meters tall, their surface covered with some kind of composite armor made of flesh, dotted with pores secreting digestive fluid, and their main cannon is composed of three blood tendrils that can extend up to three hundred meters.

For their defensive line, these war machines are undoubtedly a huge threat, warranting focused attention and efforts to break them quickly.

"Activate the Magic Cannon! Take care of these, they’re precious! Don’t break them!

...Oh well, even if they break it’s fine, blast them hard, blow those big guys down!" Following Huo Lin’s command, six silver-grey turrets rose slowly from the wall’s layers.

The emblem of the Magic Power Lab — double snakes entwining a gear — appeared on the cannon body, inscribed with a warning left intentionally by the Alchemists: "Each shot costs a Mage three years of life, so shoot if you want!"

"Boom!"

The extremely heavy cannon blast echoed, and the sound shook people’s heads, buzzing.

"Sure packs a punch!"

The United Army soldiers responsible for defense couldn’t help but marvel; around him, his view was almost obscured by gathered chaotic magic power, rendering his sight blurry.

But this did not hinder his real sense of the great power of the Magic Cannon.

The first round of volleys blasted three flesh constructs to pieces. Yet, the operator at the fourth cannon position suddenly fell to the ground.

This person was a War Mage among the Light Guardians.

"What’s the problem?"

"His Magic Power is completely depleted! And there’s an additional negative status of Magic Power exhaustion!"

"Damn it, the warnings on this thing aren’t jokes!"

Although the Magic Cannon’s Magic Power consumption was huge, its power was clearly visible.

Although it wasn’t necessary to use Mages for charging, using Magic Energy Crystals was also feasible, though these Magic Energy Crystals were considered expensive by the Night Watchers.

These Magic Cannons stopped firing after less than five volleys due to the excessive consumption being unbearable, and these types of equipment also require cooling.

However, these rounds of bombardment proved effective, not only shattering the enemy’s highly threatening flesh constructions but also severely disrupting their formation.

The massive power and booming sound completely shattered the courage of ordinary Ratmen.

The attack had to pause.

They once again successfully held the defensive line.

In the distance, Shadow Believers continued observing and recording.

"The Night Watcher’s warfare weapons seem to have progressed again? And even more varied. Hmm... The descriptions were accurate, they truly are a group born for war.

Thanks to the recent activities, the troop deployment and transport routes in this area have become largely clear."

The Shadow Believer murmured, upon finishing the record, looked at the Barbarian Race commander beside him.

"It’s time to retreat, but you can do a big move at the end, I’ll tell you how to do it, there’s a defense loophole here..."
