Chapter 590: Chapter 393 The Great War Is Coming_2
“Boom”
The Fifth-Order strike directly caused the energy barrier, already more than half depleted, to teeter on the brink of collapse.
“Pretty sturdy.”
The cold light in the Giant Shark Leader’s eyes flashed as he lifted his bone blade and delivered the final attack.
Crack
The barrier shattered in response, its energy nearly exhausted, unable to maintain any longer.
...
Liu Rulong’s expression shifted subtly, but he didn’t use his identity as the Star Torch Tree imprint host to forcibly gather power and reinforce the defense.
“All units, provide fire cover, cha troops move in, Sea Beast warriors coordinate on the flanks!”
The army, poised for action, took the barrier’s rupture as a signal to attack, and all weapons were promptly brought to bear.
Swoosh swoosh swoosh
Dozens of missiles soared into the sky, heading straight for the Fishn’s formation.
“Foolish humans.”

The Giant Shark Leader summoned a great volu of water, while the Fourth Order Fishn and Sea Beasts around him also summoned water flows, attempting to intercept the missiles with a curtain of water.
Boom
The missiles thundered loudly, the water curtain shattered, and many missiles landed within the Fishn’s ranks.
Flas engulfed everything; even the Third-order Fishn had little chance of survival in such explosions.
Just one round of missile coverage caused thousands of Fishn and Sea Beasts to fall dead or wounded, fueling the rage of the Fishn commanders across the way.
“Kill!”
The Fishn Legion and Sea Beasts surged towards the defensive line, overwhelming like a tidal wave, unstoppable in their ferocity.
The Ard Forces remained unflustered, coolly pouring bullets and shells toward the oncoming tide.
Without the shield, but with various defensive constructions and a fifty-ter high wall, the Fishn were hard-pressed to break through.
Intense firepower coverage left even more Fishn fallen on the battlefield. Now, bullets and firearms had been modified.
On top of their original design, not only were they augnted with spiritual substances as accelerants, but they were also enhanced with spiritual energy inputs, imbuing the fired bullets with spiritual power.
As a result, the explosive force of a single bullet had increased several-fold compared to before the apocalypse.
Even Second-grade Monsters could hardly withstand the impact of several spiritual energy bullets.
And on this battlefield, where the number of bullets made evasion almost impossible, falling like rain, how could one dodge?
Constant charging and death scattered flesh and blood across the entire battlefield.
Third Order Monsters, with their robust bodies, made use of their spiritual energy to block attacks and physical advantage to resist sowhat, but the Ard Forces weren’t using ordinary spiritual bullets—they also had rockets and spiritual energy cannons.
Although they might be agile, if their position was locked onto, they too could hardly avoid being killed by concentrated fire.
For a mont, the Fishn suffered heavy casualties, and then the Fourth Order Commanders and Fourth Order Monsters among them could no longer bear it and charged into the battlefield.
Controlling water flows to form shields, they advanced quickly under the barrage.
“Fourth-Order Warriors, prepare!”
Liu Rulong imdiately issued an order. For forces above the Fourth Order, ordinary weapons could hardly secure a kill, and only equal combat strength could better intercept them.
Upon hearing the command, Zhou Weiyun and other commanders stepped forward, the Book of Blood Spirit lit up, and one after another, Fourth-order Lower Apostles appeared behind them.
The Fourth Order Apostles leaped off the wall and, including Zhou Weiyun, three Fourth-Order Generals dispatched their eight Fourth Order Apostles down to the battlefield, heading straight for those charging Fourth Order Monsters.
Apostles clashed fiercely with monsters, their control of spiritual energy and their explosive combat strength not to be underestimated. In monts of fierce combat, the ground beca littered with ravines and craters.
Surrounding Fishn and monsters who failed to evade in ti were blown to pieces, halting the Fishn Legion’s advance.
“Zhou Weiyun and the others have just broken through recently; they are at a disadvantage.”
Zhu Xiong, a discerning observer, saw that despite the Apostles and monsters exchanging blows, most of Zhou Weiyun’s Apostles were outmatched against the higher-order Fishn and Fourth Order Sea Beasts with their thick shells.
“Sniper.”
Liu Rulong’s voice was grave as he gave the order, and suddenly, seven or eight snipers appeared on top of the city wall, holding spiritual energy sniper rifles that looked more like sniper cannons.
The pitch-black barrels were as thick as a thigh, with spiritual energy conduits attached on both sides, and behind them was a huge compressed energy quantum bullet, one ignited per shot, which also drew a substantial amount of spiritual energy from the shooter.
Each sniper was of at least Third Order strength, and originally they were all sharpshooters from the Ard Forces.
The mont they took their positions, they locked onto a Fourth Order Monster tangled with a Fourth Order Apostle, focusing intently, daring not to be the least bit distracted.
The battle beca increasingly intense when suddenly a sniper on the left fired.
A purple beam of light shot across the battlefield in a flash, striking a Scorpion Shrimp Monster with the speed of lightning, creating a hole the size of a human head through its giant claw, with the stench of charred flesh instantly filling the air.
At that mont, the Angel Envoy grappling with the creature pounced forward, seizing the opportunity to tear off its claw and drive a sharp stab into the beast’s chest, grievously wounding it.
After firing, the sniper’s face turned pale as a great deal of spiritual energy was drained, yet there was no second shot, as they imdiately began to recover their own spiritual energy.
“Bang, bang”
Above the battlefield, two more sniper rifles fired, sending out the sa spiritual energy beams. One hit its mark while the other missed its intended target.
‘Good strategy’
Seeing such coordination, Su Han knew that these sniper rifles were designed for swift, precise strikes to deliver combat blows at a speed even Fourth Order beings struggled to react to, aiding their own Fourth Order Apostles in gaining the upper hand.
A sniper and an Apostle worked together, never attacking at random, likely waiting for just one opportunity to take their shot in the entire battle.
“If one’s power is not strong, one must rely on military thods.”
Liu Rulong said somberly; if Apostles were strong enough, such asures would be unnecessary.
Zhu Xiong spoke bluntly, “Any thod that can kill a monster is a good one. Afterwards, we might have to ask General Liu to train a group for us as well.”
War is the proving ground for combat thods and strategies. Since the apocalypse, Liu Rulong always kept the great war at the forefront of his mind, guarding against any battle that might endanger the East Sea base.
Now, as the battle raged on, whether it was the covering fire of the cannons or the precise shots of the snipers, by the ti the enemies neared the walls, over a hundred thousand Fishn had been killed or wounded.
The Giant Shark Leader was furious beyond asure, his body suddenly growing to a hundred ters long.
“Humans, I’m giving you one last chance.”
He waved his arms, causing a massive swirling of seawater around him. Controlling water like a tide was no problem for those below Fifth Order strength.
Countless spheres of water orbited him, serving as both a ans of attack and a defense against nuclear missiles.
He knew that among human weapons, there was one that could harm him.
However, as long as he was vigilant, that kind of weapon would find it difficult to co close to him.
Liu Rulong snorted coldly; even in such circumstances, this Fishman still thought to intimidate humans.
He had thods to counter Fifth Order creatures, not just conventional nuclear missiles but also suicide creatures, which hosted large thermonuclear devices within their Breeding Armor.
Inspired by the Breeding Armor Heavenly General Project, steel served as bones and flesh served as the body, and within them lay many nuclear bombs and spiritual explosive devices.
They might not have the strength to mass-produce Fourth Order Breeding Armor Heavenly Generals, but they could nurture so Second Order or Third Order flying, terrestrial, or subterranean Breeding Armor creatures.
Although the range for control via Spiritual Network had its limits and the cost was high, it was enough to blow up a battlefield.
“Prepare to launch nuclear strikes; fire a volley of nuclear missiles, and get the underground Breeding Armor nuclear creatures ready….”
Cool and composed, the order was given. After this round of attacks, the outskirts of the East Sea base would be obliterated, but if it could critically wound a Fifth Order, then it would be worth it.
“Let do it,”
Su Han suddenly interjected, stopping Liu Rulong’s order, and then turned his gaze towards the waves, “There’s not just one Fifth Order coming. There’s another hidden in the sea, probably trying to force out your hand.”
Liu Rulong’s expression changed slightly as Su Han waved his hand, and a vast spatial rift slowly opened above the battlefield.
The space swallowed the surrounding Fishn, and then a pitch-black tallic arm slowly extended out of it. Before long, a towering Black Gold Knight appeared on the battlefield.
As space gradually receded, a colossal iron mountain peak stood outside the city of East Sea, obstructing the Fishn’s advance.
“Invaders, die!”
