Origin Paradise!

“However, those who are afraid of death and refuse to surrender will be beheaded by me personally.”

Everyone was terrified. The Second Speaker was a dominant-level ability user. He might not be able to turn the tide, but killing everyone present would be very easy for him. However, the other side did not force anyone to their death. They could surrender after breaking through the encirclement.

"I will obey the military order." The commander of the army was the first to accept the order.

The senior generals present echoed this sentiment.

Five minutes after the artillery bombardment began, the 30,000 routed troops on Kushan launched a full-scale assault in all directions.

The Second Speaker personally led three regiments to attack the direction of Xidu.

The enemy's machine gun fire relentlessly reaped lives, and artillery shells rained down on the crowd, instantly killing or wounding more than a dozen people.

The Second Speaker, wielding a giant wind blade, cleaved through eight or nine trolls in succession, charging ahead at the forefront, while a wind barrier firmly protected the soldiers on both sides.

From a high altitude, Mount Ku looks like a pool of water where stones have been thrown, with ripples spreading outwards as it surges forward.

The battle lasted for half an hour.

The second speaker led the charge, breaking through the outermost encirclement. He stood on the trench, covered in dust, his eyes glazed over as he looked around blankly. After a few seconds, as if he had just realized something, his face turned deathly pale. It wasn't because the three regiments that had been with him were now down to only a few hundred men, but because they had actually broken through the frontal blockade.

Suddenly, a charming woman walked over. Her face was covered with vivid patterns, making her look like a lifelike spider.

The Spider Demon chuckled, "The main force has already moved, just like it did last night. Only a few main divisions remain around Bitter Mountain, but the artillery and tank formations are real. The Ninth Army Group has left its positions and is marching north at high speed. Once it's cut off in half, it should behave itself. Do you still want to resist?"

Unless absolutely necessary, the Spider Demon is reluctant to fight against opponents of the same level.

The second speaker was speechless. He was now certain that Xidu had secretly built a railway over the years, trading time for space. The railway greatly reduced the time consumption and significantly extended the distance of spatial transfer.

In terms of strategic mobility, the two fortified armies encountered an unprecedented crushing defeat, which enabled the enemy to always concentrate superior forces and move freely between the two war zones, which were hundreds of miles apart, within a day or two.

It's not just about having a lead in hard power; to achieve tactical deception, the enemy commander's command ability is also an art.

“Viscount Malkawi.” The Second Speaker said dejectedly, “The Red Sleeves have rebelled at Daquan Pass, where the First Army and Fourth Division are in rebellion. Who is guarding Heibai Pass?”

Spider Demon tapped his forehead. "One army, three divisions, nicknamed Snake Head."

The second speaker then asked, "Was it an army and a division that caused such a ruckus on the flank?"

The spider demon smiled. "Quite clever."

“That’s right, these key points are all commanded by the First Army. As for whose troops this force is, I think you should know something about one of the three giants of a fortress.” Spider Demon said patiently. In fact, according to Mokawi, Jiang He on the flank battlefield was not very obedient and should be eliminated if there was an opportunity.

The Second Speaker suddenly felt that the future was bleak. The other side had almost revealed Viscount Malkawi's current identity, and this great expedition had already ended in failure.

……

September 18, 12:30 p.m.

The acting commander-in-chief of the Second Army Group, the Second Speaker, surrendered.

At 12:35, the Ninth Army, which was heading straight for Xidu, was ambushed by a large army. Twenty thousand trolls cut the army in half, and the vanguard mutinied. The army commander, Tu Jiazhu, led his troops to turn around and fight back, and the Fourth Army was defeated.

The commander-in-chief led the Second and Third Armies in a hasty retreat. The commander of the Third Division, Snake Head, who was guarding Heibai Pass, betrayed them. The remaining troops launched a fierce attack for three hours but failed to capture the pass and were forced to retreat to Fengkou.

At this point, the 400,000-strong army had dwindled to less than 100,000, the great expedition had failed, and the remaining troops were trapped outside the pass and unable to return.

The news sent shockwaves through the entire league.

……

At nightfall, the Kouying defense line.

Inside the command post, Jiang He was stunned for a long time when he received the telegram.

"What the hell? This is way too complete."

Compared to the complete rout, the victory on the flank was insignificant. He sent out an elite squad to find the command post at dawn, but by evening the command post was almost gone.

Lilith, who had come out of the spiritual world to find a drink, patted someone on the shoulder and said gloatingly, "Now you're really the boss."

Jiang He rubbed his temples a couple of times. He knew Mr. A was up to something, but after Hongxiu's rebellion, the Ninth Army dared to hand over Heibai Pass to snakeheads to garrison, which was simply outrageous.

Chapter 253 Werewolf Charge

A member of the Dawn team hurried into the command post.

"Commander, 100,000 men from the Second and Third Armies have arrived outside the pass, carrying a large number of mechs. The Commander-in-Chief has called to request permission to enter."

Jiang He took the telegram. Now the commander-in-chief, the head of the Ai family, and the head of the Yin family were his only remaining superiors. Because the mechs were not suitable for long-distance raids, two thousand mechs survived when they rushed straight to Xidu.

"We refuse verbally. Passage through Fengkou is not permitted. Commander-in-Chief, please set up defenses where you are. Our army has not yet lost all resistance."

Jiang He muttered, unusually, "Who knows how many moles are inside?"

There are still his enemies lurking in the command post, the kind that can influence the overall strategic direction. Normally he could forcibly bring them back, but with the wolf riders about to arrive, reorganizing them would be tantamount to suicide.

"Understood." The Dawn Man turned and walked out of the command post.

Not long after, more news came.

"Commander, 300,000 werewolf cavalry have appeared at Kouying." Fifth Division Commander Borsong rushed over to report.

Jiang He pondered. He was under immense pressure. The previously stalemate had taken a sharp turn for the worse. He had 300,000 wolf riders, 600,000 vampire main force, 20,000 trolls, and 5,000 tanks, while he only had about 60,000 men under his command.

"How is the construction of the mountain defense line progressing?"

Borsong replied, "Three have already been built, and the entire Fifth Division has moved in."

Jiang He stood up and said, "I'll go over and oversee the battle."

Zhuang Ya, the adjutant who was almost asleep while standing, jolted awake and hurriedly packed her things.

On the mountain of Kouying, three trenches were completed, and the Fifth Division was stationed here with ample firearms and ammunition.

At one point, a long, drawn-out wolf howl echoed for miles around.

From the direction of the camp, countless black dots emerged as an endless horde of wolf riders launched their charge.

The 300,000 werewolf cavalry charged wildly, their wolves stomping in unison, causing the ground to tremble and roar incessantly. Many soldiers trembled, their faces pale.

Enemies were everywhere in sight.

The wolf riders were slightly faster than the horses, and in just a few minutes, the vanguard had reached the plains in front of the mountains.

At the front of the settlement, Old Black was so anxious that he stamped his feet in frustration. With the western and southern war zones defeated, the werewolves no longer had to worry about attacks from other directions. However, because they had not achieved any merit and it would affect the division of territory after the war, Councilor Black Wolf made the decision to launch a full-scale charge, directly interrupting the original plan.

As the wolf riders entered firing range, the soldiers of the Fifth Division on Kouying Mountain opened fire in unison. A storm of metal swept down like a river, and the heavy machine guns ruthlessly reaped lives.

In a single encounter, thousands of wolf riders perished, but the superhumans within the wolf pack abandoned their wolves and activated physical superhuman abilities such as Copper Skin Iron Body Mountain Lord to hold the front line, like moving blocks of iron, bursting forth with a long river of sparks.

Dangdang Dangdang!

The sound of bullets striking steel was incessant.

"It's just a tickle, charge!"

A werewolf baron was the first to leap into the first line of defense trenches. A vicious sergeant, who had been waiting for a long time, rushed forward and grabbed the enemy with explosives strapped to his body. With a loud bang, both of them perished together, blown to pieces.

Gunfire continued unabated. In the few minutes of the charge, the Fifth Division killed several thousand werewolves. The battlefield was littered with corpses, but compared to the total number of wolves, these casualties were insignificant. More wolf riders advanced, trampling over the corpses of their own kind.

The forefront of the defense line.

Jiang He summoned the Long-Hate Dragon Spear, and the enemy's all-out charge was the worst-case scenario they had anticipated.

"Death!"

A werewolf baron, his body radiating a heavy, earthy yellow glow, emptied his automatic rifle, then drew the sword hanging from the wolf beast's body and leaped into the air to slash at someone.

The superior ability, Mountain Lord, granted him defensive capabilities surpassing even rock and iron, giving him an incredibly hard earth-elemental shell.

boom!

Jiang He swept out with a single shot, obliterating him into dust.

"You're really going to die."

The werewolf baron died instantly, immediately attracting countless eyes, and a dark swarm of wolves gathered and attacked.

A sniper bullet struck Jiang He's shoulder, but was blocked by the defense of his Bloodthirsty Body. He reached into his portable sanctuary and pulled out a bolt-action rifle. His All-Seeing Eye locked onto the werewolf sniper a kilometer away. With a bang, the bullet, stained with blood poison, flew out.

In a critical moment, the werewolf sniper spotted the enemy leader's movements. He quickly turned to the side, and the bullet only pierced his shoulder.

Before the werewolf sniper could even feel relieved, the perfect-grade poison erupted, and an irreversible death descended. His body was covered in horrifying sores, and he died instantly.

More and more werewolves gathered around her. Jiang He brandished her spear, and a silver moon rose amidst the wolf pack.

The cold, sharp spearhead swept across the surroundings, the slender blade of light cleaving over a hundred werewolves within a radius of several tens of meters in half at the waist.

Corpses littered the ground, and blood fell like rain.

"Don't be afraid, it's just one person. All of you, charge! Or you'll be expelled from the tribe!" the werewolf baron roared.

The werewolves, who had initially retreated in fear, gritted their teeth and charged forward. Rifle bullets were completely ineffective against the enemy's physical defenses, and the battle swords slashed, creating an impenetrable barrier.

boom!

With a thrust of the spear, the force surged forth like a tornado.

Ten meters in front of him, more than thirty werewolves had perished, their fan-shaped ravines completely covered in blood and flesh.

As Jiang He drew his spear, a hazy dragon shadow danced with him, turning the front lines of the battlefield into a meat grinder. Within half an hour, nearly two thousand-strong werewolf squads were wiped out.

The werewolf baron was still roaring and urging the battle when he was burned to death by a gray fireball that came straight at him. The withering fire blasted him into ashes, and the mountain lord's ability, which was known for its defense, was as fragile as paper.

Boom boom boom!

The thunderous sound of the spear shaking the air never ceased.

Pieces of werewolf corpses flew out, and despite the deaths and injuries of three thousand wolf riders, the front line of the position still had not advanced an inch.

Several werewolf barons died in battle, and among the army, the Black Wolf Councilor cast wary glances his way.

Our side has now captured the first line of defense, but the front line is like an unyielding reef, hindering the army's advance. The enemy's second and third lines of defense continue to fire, and some barons have already succumbed to the drain on their supernatural abilities and died in the hail of bullets.

Boom!

Suddenly, thousands of eerie green fireballs exploded.

The eerie green flames, like a great river, severed the first line of defense.

The explosion killed thousands of werewolves, and two werewolf squads of a thousand men were trapped between the defensive lines and were mowed down by heavy machine gun fire.

At the same time, the artillery regiment opened fire, with nearly three hundred cannons cutting off the enemy's vanguard, and soldiers on the third line of defense fixed bayonets and charged down the hillside.

A human soldier carrying a satchel charge jumped into a pack of wolves, making the vicious sergeant next to him rub his eyes.

The eerie green sea of ​​fire seemed to separate life and death, thousands of werewolves were slaughtered, and some barons felt their scalps tingle at the sight of enemy soldiers carrying explosive packs.

Among the army, the werewolf ministers argued endlessly, with the majority demanding a retreat to recuperate.

Old Hei offered slanderous advice.

"Sir Councilor, I think the enemy's attack is just a last gasp. Although our losses are not small, at least three thousand humans on the first line of defense have died. As long as you can remove that thorn in our side, we will surely win this battle." Old Black calmly persuaded him. Ordinary Silver Rank should not be a match for Xiao He. If they can kill Councilor Black Wolf, the werewolves in the tribal system will be a mess.

"Hmph, he's not worthy to be my opponent?" Councilor Black Wolf struggled to tear his gaze away from the silver spear. "Our people can't die any more. Let's withdraw and recuperate."

Old Hei hesitated, then said, "Don't back down now that things have come to this."

Chapter 254 From Darkness to Light

The werewolf army retreated like a receding tide.

Almost all the soldiers on the first line of defense were killed in action.

Jiang He took off his military uniform shirt, which was covered with bits of flesh and blood. Blood dripped from the corner of his shirt, and the smell of blood was overwhelming. His energy level was still sufficient, but his physical strength had declined significantly. There were quite a few superhumans mixed in with the werewolves.

Fifth Division Commander Borsong rushed over to report, "Reporting to the Commander, our side suffered more than 4000 casualties and killed 16000 werewolves."

With the help of Dawning Intelligence and its personnel at all levels, data statistics are performed very quickly.

"Gather all the wolf carcasses and extract the hearts of the werewolves with superpowers," Jiang He said.

"clear."

Jiang He walked into the command post, which was piled with corpses. Zhuang Ya was squatting in a corner, stealing wolf bones. A small campfire was burning, and the greatsword he leaned on was covered in blood.

"how do you feel."

Jiang He sat down on the ground and casually took a piece of pork tenderloin. This time, he could keep an eye on Zhuang Ya's solo operation, but she wasn't by his side.

Zhuang Ya thought for a moment, then turned around and picked up a baron's head from behind her back, saying seriously, "It's a bit hard."

Both being at the peak of the Bronze level, werewolves with the Mountain Lord's abilities are not easy to defeat.
