Wasteland's Only King - Chapter 340 - 80: Two, Four, Six, Eight? Laine’s All-or-Nothing Gamble! The True Face of the Dawn Fortress! (Part 2)
[…]
Each line of text made Laine’s heart bleed continuously.
These are the very foundations of the Serenity Civilization!
But now?
In front of the opponent’s fortress battleships, they are being continuously destroyed, turning into brilliant fireworks in the starry sky.
Despite…
The battle damage ratio of the Serenity Civilization has always been better than the opponent’s.
The opponent often has to pay two or even three times the price to destroy the Serenity Civilization’s fortress battleships.
But…
The Serenity Civilization’s fortress battleships are, after all, finite!
And the opponent?
Buzz—!
When Laine heard this faint wave sound that echoed through the starry sky again, his face instantly froze.
“Ah!”
On the throne.
As the Lord, Laine lost composure and roared.
In the light screen before the throne.
It clearly displayed—
In the starry sky, the opponent’s fourth batch of fortress battleships collectively descended!
At the same time.
The previous batch of fortress battleships all withdrew from the war.
Such a scene had already played out three times in the past three days!
“Eight hundred!”
“Eight hundred of them!”
“Who can tell me, besides the Celestial God Civilization, who else in this vast star system can command 800 super large interstellar fortresses?”
Laine roared endlessly.
Laine was as silent as a cicada in cold weather.
Actually…
The truly terrifying thing is not the number ’800’.
But…
You can’t guess, after 800, whether there will be another new 200, and how many new 200s there will be.
“Whew—”
Without knowing how much time had passed.
Laine on the throne finally recovered from his loss of composure.
He slowly stood up, with power at the Tier Nineteen Limit, surging to the extreme.
As the Lord, he had a clear judgment of the current battlefield situation.
He knew if things continued like this…
The Serenity Civilization was in danger!
No, it was not just ’danger’, but ’annihilation’!
Change leads to survival, but no change leads to death.
At this critical moment.
Laine had no mind to pursue where the opponent got so many fortresses or what kind of background they had.
Peace negotiations?
The war has already begun, launched by the Serenity Civilization, and seeking peace is a dead end.
“Follow me…”
“Attack!”
Laine’s shout suddenly resounded.
This shout, like thunder, startled Laine under the throne, but also invigorated Tolin McKinley and the six army leaders!
“The Lord has finally made a decision!”
Tolin McKinley’s tone was less confused and panicked, more excited.
At this moment.
He saw clearly—
The opponent had strong fortress and battleship resources, but clearly did not possess the matching strength.
Strength does not only refer to commanders and soldiers but also high-tier evolvers.
In the past three days of war.
The results of the land battles launched by the Serenity Corps undoubtedly conveyed this fact.
The opponent’s fortress battleships had a pitifully small number of evolvers, and their tiers were as low as ants.
In a land battle half a day ago.
The commander of the opponent’s super large interstellar war fortress was slain by the Serenity Civilization, and his tier was only Tier Eleven…
Tier Eleven?
This is even inferior to many players who haven’t left the Newbie Village!
So…
This war was destined to be a mismatch in strength.
In terms of fortress battleships, the Serenity Civilization had indeed fallen behind.
But in terms of extraordinary evolvers, especially high-tier extraordinary evolvers, Serenity had the absolute advantage!
Swish—
Tolin McKinley didn’t think too long; he temporarily handed over fortress command authority to his deputy, then with a flash, disappeared from the original place.
In the starry sky.
Swish swish—
Figures emerged one after another.
Each figure exuded an extremely powerful aura.
They trod the starry sky, and the surrounding space fluctuated with their breaths.
“Lord!”
“For this moment, Tasha has long been prepared!”
The first to speak was still the white-haired female leader of the second army group.
Her tier was Tier Nineteen, infinitely close to the Tier Nineteen Limit!
“Lord!”
After Tasha spoke, the remaining dozens of figures replied in unison.
Among these dozens, besides the six army leaders who were Tier Nineteen, the rest were all Tier Eighteen evolvers!
As if it’s not an exaggeration to say.
With the power of these dozens of people alone, they were enough to destroy any ordinary civilized force!
Laine’s gaze swept over everyone, silently nodding.
He didn’t say anything more; those who could become high-tier evolvers were no fools, they were clear about the current battlefield situation and the only way for the Serenity Civilization to break the deadlock.
“Kill!”
Laine softly exclaimed.
At the moment the words fell.
He took a step forward, transforming into a stream of light, shuttling toward the main body of the distant Dawn Fortress!
Whoosh, whoosh—!
Behind Laine, a group of high-tier evolvers followed closely as shadows.
Laine’s personal engagement immediately drew attention from both sides of the battlefield.
Inside the warships of the Serenity Civilization, countless soldiers who were originally exhausted and numb were suddenly invigorated.
The fourth batch of training corps dispatched by the Dawn Fortress felt as if facing a formidable enemy.
In all the fortress battleships, a sharp alarm sounded, announcing ’detection of extremely high energy fluctuations’.
Despite…
Before each dispatched training corps from Dawn Fortress set out, they were pre-equipped with resurrection armor by Deputy Lord Yin Yao’s mighty power.
But still…
Even if it was just training, they did not want anything to go wrong on their part.
Boom—
Rumble—!
Countless fortress battleships that were initially battling the enemy swiftly turned their cannons toward Laine and his companions, opening fire.
Innumerable energy beams almost pierced and annihilated the entire void.
But…
Swoosh—!
Laine and his team were unharmed, continuing to approach the main body of the Dawn Fortress!
Despite the fact that in the Star River war, the impact of fortress battleships and other war weapons was far greater than that of extraordinary evolvers.
However…
If Tier Eighteen or Tier Nineteen evolvers exploded with full power, even a super large fortress would find it difficult to stop them.
Not to mention that these fortresses are led by a group of newbie commanders.
“Not good!”
“Their target is the Dawn Fortress!”
“Jump, short-distance jump, use the ship body to block!”
The newbie commanders almost simultaneously issued the same command.
But…
The command had just been issued.
[Beep—!]
A communication came through from Carol, the commander of the corps.
“Ignore it!”
The communication conveyed only those four words.
…
…
“Huh?”
“They’ve given up on intercepting?”
In the endless starry sky.
Laine and his companions, flickering like stars, were advancing steadfastly toward the distant Dawn Fortress.
At this moment.
There were no longer any fleets or fortresses blocking their path.
At this moment.
The enemy fortress battleships in the battlefield also redirected their cannons away from them, resuming the battle with other Serenity civilization fortress warships.
“Foolish?”
“Or confident?”
For some reason.
This peculiar scene made Tolin McKinley’s heart feel inexplicably apprehensive.
“Prepare for a forced landing!”
“Remember…”
“Priority to eliminate the enemy lord!”
“I have already shared partial lord authority with you…”
“Using this authority, you can clearly identify the enemy lord!”
Laine spoke in a low voice, giving a final reminder to Tolin McKinley and the others.
“Understood, my lord!”
Tolin McKinley temporarily put away his distracting thoughts, responding firmly.
Buzz—!
The next moment.
In the void.
A slight ripple suddenly emerged.
The source of the ripple was the faint energy membrane surrounding the Dawn Fortress.
“Trying to use this to block us?”
Laine’s gaze slightly focused, the energy of his Tier Nineteen limit had long been ready to erupt.
No matter how high the level of this barrier was, no matter its counter-detection and shielding capabilities, or even its teleportation abilities.
At Tier Nineteen limit, with a value exceeding nine hundred million, he had the confidence to break through with force!
“Lord!”
“We will assist you!”
Behind Laine, Tolin McKinley and dozens of other high-tier evolvers also gathered their energies to the extreme.
“Here it comes!”
Just like that, in the blink of an eye.
Laine and the others reached the edge of the energy membrane.
At this moment.
They either punched or slammed their palms, clasped their hands together, or muttered under their breath…
Facing this possibly final obstacle, they unleashed their full power, delivering the strongest strike!
The combined strike of several dozen extremely high-tier evolvers almost illuminated the entire starry sky at that moment.
But…
Buzz—!
The energy membrane suddenly vanished at the moment the strike landed!
In its place.
Was the true scene that had been hidden until now, finally revealed.
There were…
A dense array of fortress battleships stretching beyond sight!
There were…
Youthful figures standing in the void, gazing intently at Laine and his companions!
“Dawn Fortress…”
“Welcomes all of you!”
