Chapter 1697: Chapter 431: Steel Surge, Prelude to Counterattack

At the end of the sky, ink colors seep in.

Shadows cover the northern lands of the Land of Chasing the Sun.

Shrill whistles come from afar, finally turning into continuous thunderous crashes on the earth.

Space Beacon Spears pierce into the soil, ghostly blue light emerging from the fractured spear shafts, tearing through space.

In the torrential rain, basic level war units of the Mechanical Army seem to reproduce by fission, surging forth madly.

Soon, they converge into an ever-expanding tide of steel, advancing towards the heartland of the Land of Chasing the Sun.

Along the way, rows of withered trees are engulfed the moment they touch the steel surge, turning to shreds and disappearing within the metallic flood.

Traces of player activities are also continuously erased in this process.

A player is forcing a Stone-toothed Beast into a crevice, the spear in his hand about to be thrown.

Suddenly, he hears a piercing sharp whistle, turning his head in astonishment, his pupils reflecting the cold mechanical monsters surging in.

The next second, both he and his prey are swallowed by the rushing metal waves.

Further away, under an ancient tree, three players sit around a campfire.

Fragrant beast meat roasts over the fire, one of them raises a cup with a smile.

At that moment, a shadow suddenly covers his joyful face.

Without even having a chance to look up, a Beacon Spear descends with a shriek.

Poof!

After a soft sound, the Space Beacon Spear has pinned him to the ground.

The campfire is overturned by the airwave, sparks and chunks of meat scatter, the expressions of his companions freeze in horror, soon to be buried by more falling black spears and the mechanical war units following closely behind.

Whether fighting, resting, or exploring, players at this moment are indiscriminately swept into the mechanical surge.

Included among them are members of the Gold Coin United Battle Group.

Before discovering the Domain Node, members of the Gold Coin Battle Group were divided into 28 sub-groups, each developing in different areas on the map.

The sudden attack of the Mechanical Army targets the Gold Coin United Battle Group first and foremost.

A large number of players are crushed by the mechanical surge, turning into mist, their souls returning to Emperor Zhao.

In the united battle group channel, death information floods the screen like a waterfall.

Amidst the chaos, a voice rings out through the united battle group chat channel, echoing in the ears of every member.

"To all fallen brothers, after your resurrection cooldown ends, wait at the space node of the Land of Chasing the Sun. Surviving members, withdraw to the space node. Logistics personnel, use guild funds to purchase all kinds of enhancement potions needed for war, distribute them to all main battle personnel according to the highest war standards, and await counterattack orders."

The one speaking is the current president of the Gold Coin United Battle Group personally chosen by Ah Lan, game ID: Moon Shadow.

After the order is given, players still in the scene of the Land of Chasing the Sun abandon the fight and begin withdrawing.

The rest of the players in resurrection cooldown communicate with their sub-group members; those not on the quota list begin independently purchasing various potions.

Ready to charge outward with the main forces once the resurrection cooldown ends.

An hour later.

The Space Transmission Array of the Land of Chasing the Sun continuously spills and absorbs white light, resurrected warriors rapidly regroup at the space出口方向.

Logistics personnel with warehouse access begin distributing various enhancement potions to the main forces of the battle group.

On Moon Shadow’s battle group plugin view.

Information on each player is clearly visible.

Including the number of potions in their space bags.

When the plugin’s green light turns on, indicating all members are prepared with potions, Moon Shadow presses the "Ready" button on the plugin.

Instantly, a prompt requiring confirmation to "Confirm" appears in every player’s mind.

[Plugin Notice: Captain "Moon Shadow" initiates readiness confirmation.]

The players receiving the prompt respond one after another.

The green light points on the plugin interface rapidly illuminate like a star map.

1...1000...28045...75019....

[Ready Confirmation: 123847 players are ready.]

Receiving the feedback, Moon Shadow immediately speaks solemnly:

"Apply enhancements, prepare to enter the scene."

Immediately, the players present begin taking out enhancement potions from their space bags.

The crisp sounds of potion caps being opened echo one after another, followed by auras of attribute enhancement lighting up among the military formation.

Confirming through the plugin that enhancements are complete, Moon Shadow’s voice echoes through the battle group channel once more:

"All groups take your positions, Damage Absorption Team One enters first, press forward three hundred meters, establish a front line, Teams 2, 3, and 4 follow my lead, Support advance, other warband members enter on the third wave."

"Now, Support Team, give Damage Absorption Team One Blood Burning."

Upon receiving the directive, a fervent radiance rises from the array of the Support Team.

Crimson gleams flow from the hands of support personnel, transforming into streams that precisely merge into the bodies of the frontline damage-taker players.

Instantly, the muscles of damage-taker players swell, their all attributes significantly enhanced.

Glancing at the plugin information, Moon Shadow issues another order:

"Countdown three seconds, 3, 2, 1, Damage Absorption Team One enter, advance at full speed."

Players in the front row instantly become burning blood-colored meteors, crashing into the出口屏障.

Exiting from an independent spatial node, formally stepping into the scene of the Land of Chasing the Sun.

The moment their feet touch the scorched earth of the Land of Chasing the Sun, a roar of propulsion erupts loudly.

"Keep up with the pace," the captain of the Damage Absorption Team roars, charging ahead with disregard for the mechanical surge before them.

With a most tyrannical stance, they initiate a frontal collision toward the dense mechanical soldier group before them.

The Breaking Wind Halo follows suit and activates.

Multiple halos connect into one, dyeing the damage absorption lineup with a faint golden glow.

Meanwhile, the detection waves of the Mechanical Army sweep across the player line.

Electronic eyes instantly lock onto the suddenly appearing Qi Blood energy source, the originally scattered mechanical surge immediately adjusts direction, swarming in as if sensing blood, overwhelming the skies.
