Chapter 644: War at Silver Rank, Cover-Up and True Intentions, Corpses?

"Moon Shadow's Breath's position has been locked. The other enemy's position is still being scouted."

"Don't rush. Spread out slowly. Wait until they're done fighting before making a move. Priority is stealth."

Yu Yuan stared at the footage transmitted by the drones, pondering his next plan.

The process of sneaking into Moon Shadow's Breath's world had been easier than he imagined.

Both sides were now locked in an intense battle, and Yu Yuan was waiting for the perfect moment to strike.

The player fighting Moon Shadow's Breath had an ID called [Black Ice Express].

But from the current situation, no object related to a train had been found anywhere.

The opponent had clearly already hidden themselves, directing from the shadows.

Alpha had sent all the drones out, conducting high-altitude reconnaissance on every move both sides made.

Of course, some creatures noticed the drones' presence during this time.

But they all instinctively assumed they were the enemy's drones.

With the battle between both sides now reaching a fever pitch, who would bother paying attention to drones?

They just charged straight at the nearest enemy and started fighting.

The combat effectiveness of the Blood Slave Guard under Moon Shadow's Breath's control was quite impressive. As warriors who could hold their own against the Wolf Clan in frontal combat at the Bronze Rank, they fully demonstrated their ferocity.

The players under the Blood Duke's command also attacked with brutal aggression.

These Blood Beasts seemed endless. Led by two Silver-tier Blood Beasts and hundreds of Bronze-tier Blood Beasts, all the other ordinary Blood Beasts erupted with astonishing combat power, utterly fearless of death.

These Blood Beasts emitted a dense blood aura from their bodies. This blood aura carried the Blood Plague Virus; anyone bitten by a Blood Beast would be infected.

The Blood Slaves in Moon Shadow's Breath's camp would gradually have their eyes turn bloodshot red and lose their sanity.

Then they would launch indiscriminate attacks on everyone around them.

Fortunately, the Blood Slaves were all wearing thick armor that protected their bodies.

Blocking the Blood Beasts' bites.

And whenever a Blood Slave was accidentally bitten by a Blood Beast, the other Blood Slaves would, while killing the Blood Beast, also kill those rabid Blood Slaves.

In the end, under the vampires' orders,

as soon as a Blood Slave was bitten and infected by a Blood Beast, they would go mad, grab a corrosive grenade, and charge into the Blood Beast tide.

Detonating the grenade, taking the surrounding Blood Beasts down with them, and isolating a dozen-meter area around them.

For a moment, even the fearless charges of the Blood Beasts were forcibly stopped by these Blood Slaves using their own lives.

At the junction of both sides' battle lines, a clear 'Chu-Han Divide' had formed.

The two sides were sharply separated.

"Moon Shadow's Breath camp: key commander coordinates locked. Bloodlands camp: suspected blood creature commander detected. Can mark for high priority. Requires further confirmation. The opposing player remains undiscovered. No trace of the train found."

"Report: Blood creature nests discovered!"

On the command vehicle screen,

deep within that crimson land, far from the battlefield,

a dozen pitch-black cave entrances appeared there.

One after another, Blood Creatures crawled out from inside, then ran toward the battlefield.

Alpha squinted his eyes.

"Mark all nest coordinates. Conduct intensive scanning of this area with the drones. I suspect the enemy is hiding underground."

"Yes!"

Hearing Alpha's words, Yu Yuan, standing behind him, nodded slightly.

Given the current situation, Alpha's guess was very likely the correct answer.

The Bloodlands player, as a Train-type survival player,

used his train as his greatest sanctuary and troop base. Now that both sides were in a major battle, the opponent was definitely near the battlefield directing operations and combat deployment.

Even if he had a fixed city, he was probably using it as a rear supply and resource base.

"Alpha, if the enemy is underground, then he must have surface detection instruments or creatures to direct and control the battle's flow and rhythm. Find them."

Alpha paused for a moment, then nodded and began deploying.

-

In truth, the duration and intensity of this war far exceeded Yu Yuan's imagination.

The strength of the Bloodlands train player also showed Yu Yuan what the war mode of Silver-tier players was like.

Two days had passed.

In these two days, the direct confrontation between Moon Shadow's Breath's camp and the Bloodlands had only lasted one day. Starting from the second day, the vampires had pulled back their front lines.

They had even abandoned a city.

Clearly, Moon Shadow's Breath was feeling the pressure.

The Blood Beasts of the Bloodlands seemed endless, showing no signs of stopping.

Moon Shadow's Breath's people had all retreated to the second city, a city fully stacked with defensive capabilities.

Relying on this city's defense system, they fought fiercely against those Blood Beasts.

On the city walls, Blood Slaves resisted desperately. Every ten meters was a multi-barreled machine gun; every fifty meters was a set of large flamethrowers.

And below the city walls were dense piles of Blood Beast corpses, with rivers of blood flowing.

The smell of blood and rot was like aged stinky tofu; in just one day, the city walls had been marinated with the stench.

"King, it should be reaching a critical point now," Alpha said with a frown.

The Bloodlands player responsible for this situation remained completely untraceable.

Through the drones, Yu Yuan observed that Moon Shadow's Breath had actually prepared a long-range strike system in the rear as well.

The aerial Bat Knight reconnaissance forces had tried every possible way to bypass the blockade, delving deep into the crimson land to find that train player's trail.

But all attempts came to nothing.

Yu Yuan stared at the massive pile of corpses below the city walls on the screen, his eyes flickering.

"These Blood Beasts appearing in such endless waves is highly abnormal. He's just a Silver-tier player; how could he have such a massive biological resource?"

Yu Yuan held several resource worlds in his hands; his sensitivity to resources surpassed anyone else's.

Suddenly,

Yu Yuan thought of something.

"Alpha, scan the footage of the battlefield area from two days ago behind the Blood Beasts."

The nearest drone immediately went to monitor.

Twenty minutes later, when the battlefield footage appeared on the screen, Alpha was stunned.

The battlefield that should have been piled with corpses was completely empty. Only the dried bloodstains and broken equipment remained on the ground.

And... several uneven trenches.

"This..." Alpha clearly realized something too.

"The corpses... Are those Blood Beasts being converted from these corpses?"

Yu Yuan nodded slightly.

"If nothing unexpected happens, that should be the case.

Otherwise, how could a Silver-tier player have such an endless supply of troops? Even if most of the Blood Beasts only have a Life Level of Pebble-tier, it still doesn't make sense."

"Among those corpses, there aren't just Blood Beast corpses but also Blood Clan corpses. This way, the Bloodlands player's strength hasn't just not diminished; it's actually grown stronger," Alpha said, drawing a sharp breath as understanding dawned on him.

"In other words, the plague virus caused by the Blood Beasts' bites was just to distract the Blood Clan's attention, making them focus on the plague while ignoring those corpses. What a brilliant move."

Yu Yuan stared at the screen without speaking.

Indeed!

The Bloodlands were now surrounding Moon Shadow's Breath's people without attacking,

not out of concern for losses, but to buy time to digest those corpses and produce more Blood Beasts.

If nothing unexpected happened, Moon Shadow's Breath was doomed to lose this Civilization War.

And that Bloodlands player, after eventually absorbing all the Blood Clan, would likely reach unprecedented power.

Yu Yuan's eyes flashed with a sharp glint.

Want to keep growing?

Well, he'd have to answer to him first. Those corpse resources... he could make good use of them too!
