Chapter 527 I Don't Understand
Boom—
As the water column fell, hundreds of millions of tons of water plummeted from the sky, crashing onto the water's surface and creating concentric tsunami waves that engulfed some of the Western Union soldiers who managed to survive.
Apart from martial artists of eight stars or above, even those who survived the nuclear explosion but were not at its epicenter were severely injured and were now unable to withstand the aftershocks.
Moreover, Bai Ze's side began their counterattack.
As the general watched the sword light that Mu Yaoguang had transformed into streak across the sky, the yin and yang energies intertwined in layers of heavenly realms, covering the three Western Alliance junior generals. Countless sword shadows engulfed the three figures like a raging tide.
When the celestial realm dispersed, only Mu Yaoguang's figure remained in the original spot.
"It seems you're going to fail."
Ye Liuyun's voice came along with the gale. He stepped on the clouds and rode the wind, raising his hand to strike again, and thousands of gale blades pierced down from the sky.
This time is different from the last time.
Last time, Ye Liuyun had to guard the spatial rift at all costs, and could only confront the general head-on. This time, however, Ye Liuyun had much more room to maneuver and was more at ease.
The general's gaze swept towards Ye Liuyun like a sharp blade. The zero-point vacuum energy completely covered the sky, forming a vast ocean of energy. The swirling waves shattered the thousands of qi blades.
The attack below did fail, but he hasn't lost yet.
He still has troops, the Shadow Legion, and the battle groups under the Nine Gods.
It's too early to say we've lost.
However, before the general could make a move, a voice pierced through the void and reached his ears.
"Two army groups from Ursus are marching here, led by that fellow Andrei."
Upon hearing the news from the Grand Duke of Winter, the general slowly stopped his roaring zero-point vacuum energy.
Grand Duke of Winter, this is an old rival. When the Steel Continent was built, the general clashed with him more than once.
Despite the general's repeated victories, he was never able to defeat the old Ursus bear.
And now, the old polar bear has returned.
"Temporary retreat."
The general reached out and pressed down, and the zero-point vacuum energy poured down like an inverted celestial river, suppressing the tsunami and halting the enemy's pursuit.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the remaining Western Union forces quickly withdrew.
This rapid exchange ended with the Western Union temporarily withdrawing.
At the same time, the rift in the distant sky continued to open, and beams of light fell to the ground, dropping large numbers of soldiers and supplies.
The surging energy sea forced Ye Liuyun back. The general glanced deeply at the area below and retreated with a roaring torrent of anger.
After half an hour.
On a mountain peak eight hundred miles from the Izumo Wasteland, in the newly built camp of the Western Alliance, the general stared at the tactical table in front of him with a cold expression.
A terrain map is currently being projected onto the table.
"The two army groups of Ursus, totaling 100,000 men, have now arrived 1,500 miles away."
"Ahead in the Izumo Wasteland, there are approximately 30,000 Eastern Xia warriors, as well as an uncountable number of Japanese monkeys."
.....
.....
A member of the Shadow Legion, dressed in black combat gear and wearing a demon mask, is giving a briefing.
"Our casualties are heavy. We lost 30,000 soldiers in the previous raid, and the wounded have not yet been tallied. General, with our current strength, I'm afraid we cannot achieve a quick victory."
"Ursus may have already allied with Dongxia. If they directly transport troops through the Iron Continent..." Gryphon said with a hint of worry.
If we were to ask which nation has the largest military force, Ursus would undoubtedly be the one.
What this country has no shortage of are faith-based warriors who bring their own rations.
In comparison, although the Western Alliance uses transplanted mechanical bodies and genes to quickly create new warriors, it would be extremely fortunate if even a quarter of these new warriors were willing to go to the battlefield.
If Ursus forces land directly on the Iron Continent, it will be extremely bad news for the Western Alliance.
On the other side, Rhine, also dressed in Western Union uniform, said at this moment: "Although our army has the Holy Roman Empire's Chaos Fortress to help with transportation, it is not an easy task to replenish our troops in a short period of time. The Holy Roman Empire will not lift the restrictions and allow our troops to enter the fortress."
If that's the case, does the Chaos Fortress belong to the Holy Roman Empire, or to the Western Union?
Of course, that's not the key point. The most crucial factor is the combat strength at the top level.
Ursus's entry into the fray can completely compensate for the opponent's lack of high-level combat power.
Unless the Holy Roman Empire is also willing to commit its forces, they can only wait for further support.
With this in mind, everyone looked at the general, waiting for him to make a decision.
The general's decision was to "continue pushing forward," he said calmly.
He hasn't given up on his plan for a swift victory.
"General One"
Upon hearing this, the others were about to offer some advice when the general gently raised his hand, signaling for silence.
"The Steel Continent was built by us at great expense, and Japan is nothing more than a colony that we conquered."
The general said in a deep voice, "Sixty years ago, I led 100,000 troops to land in Japan. When the Japanese emperor heard the news, he fell ill and died on his sickbed within two days."
"That April, right on the Japanese mainland, I destroyed the Water City with a single punch, completely crushing the Japanese under my feet. Wherever my army went, the Japanese people submitted. That vibrant, flourishing scene is still vivid in my mind."
"I don't understand why a mere colony, Area 11, has now become an insurmountable barrier that makes us hesitate to even approach it."
The general's gaze swept across the crowd, causing each of the officers to lower their heads.
Among them were many old men who had landed in Japan with the general back then. Thinking back to their past triumphs, they couldn't help but have bloodshot eyes.
Even the younger generation who came later remembered the humiliation of being forced to withdraw from the Steel Continent.
"Gentlemen, I will lead you once again to the land of the Steel Continent and conquer this colony," the general declared with a domineering gaze and resounding voice.
"Yes, General," everyone responded in unison.
"it is good."
Seeing this, the general nodded in satisfaction and said, "Then go down and prepare for the attack. The enemy's trump card was indeed unexpected, but the situation is still under my control. Before Christmas, we will hold a victory banquet at the Imperial Palace in Heian-kyo."
Seeing the general's confidence, the other generals naturally regained their confidence and went down to prepare for battle.
After everyone had left, leaving only the general and the Shadow Legion members in the tent, the masked Shadow removed his mask, revealing a face identical to Robert's.
Even his expression was similar to Robert's, as if they were the same person.
Then, a dark look appeared in the eyes of the Shadow Legion member, and his whole body became ethereal, like a phantom.
When the darkness in his eyes filled his pupils and made Ziguang lose his focus, a will awakened within this person.
"We have investigated all the generals and found no one who is acting strangely."
The Shadow Legion member's tone changed drastically, and he said in a cold and hoarse voice, "I even suspect that our arrogant father didn't leave any backup plans. You know, he always only believed in his own strength."
"But his genes have created thirteen deeply cunning clones," the general said calmly. "Look at us. Do you really think he's just a brute who relies solely on strength?"
"Do you think he's not in a hurry yet?" Robert guessed.
While the general's declaration of war certainly tricked the gods of the mortal realm, when the battle actually began, the two sides were essentially on the same side.
If the general can win, it will at least serve the purpose of relieving the siege of Wei by attacking Zhao, leaving the Eastern Xia side with no energy to deal with the gods on earth.
Therefore, an unfavorable war situation is also not good for the gods on earth.
The reason we haven't seen any backup plan from the gods of the mortal realm is simply because the situation on their side isn't urgent yet.
"This is the only possible outcome."
The general said, "Our Primarch is not the kind of person who would easily put himself in a predicament."
Although the general views the gods of the mortal realm merely as biological fathers, he will not underestimate them because of this.
He didn't believe that the gods of the mortal realm hadn't left any backup plans, and that the reason they couldn't be found was simply because the gods of the mortal realm were highly skilled.
"In that case, we have no choice but to carry out that plan," Robert said in a low voice. "I will inform our country and make arrangements for public opinion."
That was the general's trump card; once it was used, victory was practically guaranteed.
However, the consequences were quite serious; in Dongxia's words, it was against the natural order.
However, given the general's temperament, as long as he isn't hurt, it's not a big deal.
All he wanted was to win, nothing more.
The general was willing to pay any price for this.
"Aren't you going to refund me?"
.....
...
Bai Ze's true form opened its eyes.
As for the Izumo Wasteland, Bai Ze has done almost everything he could.
Let's leave the rest to the professionals.
He will not interfere, lest he gain the reputation of a "micro-management master".
However, Bai Ze still paid attention to what was necessary. Just now, Bai Ze discovered that the general's side was not retreating, but instead seemed ready to continue the battle to the death.
What other tricks does he have up his sleeve?
Bai Ze frowned and paced back and forth. "In that case, I'll have to speed things up on my end too."
Blood Sea Master has left. He will go to join the remaining members of the Steel Hand, approach the Faceless Ones, and gather information.
Bai Ze's goal was to plant countless eyes within the Iron Hand Legion, constantly monitoring internal information and pinpointing the whereabouts of the God of the Mortal Realm.
Meanwhile... could Vladimir still be on his way on horseback?
Bai Ze then thought of that Ursus god-enemy.
Up until now, he hasn't noticed anything significant happening in the Flame Desert.
Given the nature of a god's power, once he makes a move, it will be an earth-shattering spectacle. Even if separated by thousands of miles, Bai Ze should be able to sense it.
The lack of activity now most likely means that Vladimir hasn't found the god of the human world yet, or perhaps hasn't even arrived here yet.
The thought that this divine enemy was still on his way on horseback made Bai Ze unable to contain himself.
He focused his mind and breath, a faint red light emanating from his body. Sensing Vladimir's divine will, he packaged and sent the message of the god of the mortal realm out, sending it three times in a row.
If they were still on horseback at this point, it would be quite unreasonable.
While thinking, Bai Ze sensed the other Ursus experts, intending to send the message around, just like when he disguised himself as Yin Xuanzi before.
"Stop sending it."
Just as Bai Ze was about to put his plan into action, a helpless sigh rang out.
Immediately afterwards, a crimson light slowly appeared, as if a crimson star was rising before our eyes.
The light was dazzling, yet not glaring; rather, it carried a warm and passionate quality, like a fire lit in the darkness.
A middle-aged Ursus man wearing a suit, an overcoat, and a cap walked out bathed in red light.
He looked like an ordinary middle-aged man, and even had a receding hairline, judging from the brim of his hat, yet he was bathed in the glory of being praised by countless people.
Vladimir, the nemesis of Ursus!
Without needing to say more, anyone who sees this scene can guess his identity.
Bai Ze thought this person was on his way on horseback, but he didn't expect him to appear in front of him so suddenly.
"Young man, your mindset needs improvement. You're not suited to associating with those great young men, so you'd better not post it."
The middle-aged man spoke fluent Dongxia language and subtly reminded Bai Ze not to let his thoughts corrupt those good young men.
Even with his composure, he felt somewhat embarrassed at this moment, and harbored doubts about the sudden appearance of this formidable foe.
However, Bai's mental fortitude had been tested. After pausing for a second, he said without any change in expression, "I think my level of thinking is pretty good. Even the Duke of Ursus, Winter, praised me, saying that I have the pure Ursus spirit."
Bai Ze: "..."
His calm and composed demeanor even amazed Vladimir, the enemy of the gods.
"If there is a gate to the face on the path to godhood, then you should have already broken through that gate and become a demigod," Vladimir remarked.
He didn't look like a god at all; he didn't have that extraordinary aura. Instead, he seemed like an ordinary middle-aged man you might see on the street, chatting casually with you.
As the crimson light slowly faded, it became even more like a real person.
Vladimir slowly dimmed his radiance, gently patted his somewhat worn coat, found a rock to sit on, and said, "That guy Neos won't easily put himself in danger. If I go directly to him, I might run into some kind of trap."
"Moreover, his power is too violent, completely opposite to the creative fire of the Undying Volcano. Even if we use the Yin-Yang principle of Dongxia to contain it, it is not something that can be accomplished in a short time. Moreover, judging from the traces at the Undying Volcano, Neos did not choose to contain it, but rather chose to resist it."
It seems that this enemy has no hostility and no intention of pursuing the matter of someone trying to forge documents.
However, Bai Ze did not let his guard down.
Although he appears to be a sage-like figure, he wouldn't hesitate to use ruthless methods if truly necessary.
He was the one who personally overthrew the imperial dynasty of Ursus.
