Chapter 1666: Chapter 1203: Divine Civilization
Apart from the flagship ’Queen of Xuan City’ where Xiao Nan and others were, the remaining three large warships of the Seventh Expeditionary Army were also executing different tasks, battling different worlds.
Therefore, within a month’s time, they were able to consecutively breach three worlds.
Now, upon learning that the Big Iron Pestle was about to land on a demigod, the rest of the warships began to approach the ’Unyielding’ where the Big Iron Pestle was located. With extremely complex feelings, they prepared to protect the Big Iron Pestle.
In this mission, there were three players who successfully ascended to demigods, one from the Great Tang, Huo Qubing from the Great Qin’s Champion Marquis, and the last was Xiao Nan.
If the Big Iron Pestle attained Divinity, humanity would have stronger strength... right?
But in fact, even without the news of the Big Iron Pestle’s imminent ascension, the Great Tang legion was also moving towards a certain direction.
Because, bad news spread; the supply line of the Great Tang had fractured, and the front-line Great Tang troops lost contact with the rear.
In the previous wars, all five hundred worlds of the Great Tang were supplying the front line.
From conscription, ammunition, medicine to warships... the five hundred worlds of Great Tang spared no effort in supplying troops and transportation, allowing Great Tang to momentarily push back the Beastmen and insect swarm.
But now, with the supply lines cut, someone unknown had sabotaged their rear.
Moreover, the Divine Existences within the Great Tang legion felt that in the direction of the Great Tang’s capital world, five demigods had fallen.
The Great Tang... had encountered a disaster.
This sent tremors through each of the Expeditionary Armies. That was their homeland.
At the same time, the scattered scout teams also ’accidentally’ discovered a shocking fact.
To call it accidental was because one scout team was on reconnaissance.
They accidentally lost their way in the void and, after encountering many dangers, coincidentally arrived outside a very special world deep within the battlefield.
There, there was an inhabitable planet wrapped by a huge barrier, more than five times the size of Earth.
And outside that gigantic planet, the main fleet of the insect swarm was frantically attacking the planet’s barrier, yet unable to harm the barrier in the slightest.
Then, the Ancient Beastmen’s main force arrived, bringing with them an artificial planet. They forcefully attacked the insect swarm fleet and crazily bombarded the barrier.
It was a powerful armament similar to the planetary fortress of the Lincang Civilization, transforming an entire planet to have strong propulsion and terrifying firepower. Billions of Beastmen were entrenched on that artificial planet.
Such a weapon cannot be built in a short time; it must have been an old relic unearthed from some corner. But even so, it was still an old relic from the previous runner-up, a major disaster.
Despite that, the firepower that could doom worlds was still unable to destroy the barrier.
Afterward, that scout team miraculously reconnected with the Great Tang fleet after multiple jumps in the battlefield.
All who heard this news felt that this scout team was extremely lucky.
But both players and Great Tang generals also suspected that it was the Book of Heaven that allowed the scout team to bring back the message.
As a result, the Great Tang now found itself in an awkward predicament.
There were formidable enemies ahead, and the rear passage had been cut off.
Thus, the various Expeditionary Armies gathered at the front lines, forming a vast fleet group.
All the great generals and commanders held a consultation.
Actually, the Great Tang Expeditionary Army now has four options.
The first option is to rally their strength and fight their way back to the disconnected worlds to stabilize the situation of the Great Tang.
However, the Teleportation Gates connecting the seven worlds of the Great Tang on the Battlefield have been destroyed. Forcing our way back to reclaim them would take a long time and require a significant amount of troops.
Since the current status of the Great Tang is unclear, coupled with the presence of the bug swarm and Beastmen, this method is very risky.
The second option is to defend on the spot. There are also several newly conquered habitable worlds on the Battlefield.
Though they vary in development stages, from wild to the information age, they can still provide a foothold for the Great Tang Expeditionary Army.
The downside is that we are too close to the enemy. Not to mention the reproduction rate of the Beastmen and bug swarm, even if we establish ourselves here, it is very likely we will descend into an endless war of attrition.
The third option is to flee, abandoning these habitable worlds. All of the Expeditionary Army would take refuge in the void until reaching new habitable worlds.
However, navigation through the void is very risky. The infinite distances mean that even the slightest deviation can lead to a destination worlds apart from the intended one. Otherwise, the Great Tang wouldn’t have gone to great lengths to establish Teleportation Gates.
Entering the void aimlessly also means completely abandoning the worlds we’ve reclaimed and even compromising the safety of the Great Tang homeland.
The fourth option... is the most dangerous. Since the main forces of the Beastmen and bug swarm have arrived, why not launch an all-out decisive battle and eliminate all enemy forces. Naturally, there would be nothing more to worry about.
But if the decisive battle fails, the Expeditionary Army won’t have the resources to try again.
"The current situation reminds me of a problem from elementary school, about a pond where water is being both added and drained," a Great Wall player spoke up.
"And I thought only our Great Tang proposers were so tedious," replied a Great Tang demigod: "However, the Expeditionary Army now is like a pond that’s draining water without adding any. We must take the most correct action before it runs dry."
"Before that, I have a question," Xiao Nan spoke up, as the leader of the Seventh Expeditionary Army.
She was also attending this meeting along with many strategists and members of the Strategy Group.
"What does the General’s wife want to say?" A Great Tang general clad in thick armor spoke up, and it was none other than the military god of the Great Tang, Li Jing.
"According to intelligence, the main forces of the Beastmen and the bug swarm are battling each other. What exactly is it that they are so desperate to fight over, involving their main forces?" Xiao Nan asked.
"Indeed, if it were just for a world, they wouldn’t mobilize such a vast military force," Li Jing nodded: "My guess is the legacy."
"A Champion Civilization’s legacy?" A listening player from Great Qin, Huo Qubing, asked.
"That’s right, Champion Marquis of Great Qin, it could only be that. Such a scale of force would only be for a legacy of some Champion Civilization," Li Jing responded.
"Has that barrier, after enduring attacks from the bug swarm and the Beastmen, not sustained any damage?" Xiao Nan asked again.
"None, at least not before the squad left without a scratch," Li Jing replied.
A few seconds after the silence, Xiao Nan said: "If that is the case, that barrier could be an ability from the Evolution Game, the Eternal Barrier. My colleagues have seen the option for that Mythical Treasure, but chose not to select it. It’s capable of defending against almost all attacks. But once activated, it cannot be shut down again. There’s a possibility of being trapped within it forever."
"Does the General’s wife mean to suggest that the Evolution Game itself has sealed off that world?" Li Jing’s expression changed slightly.
The Evolution Game itself sealing off? What could that be...
It was then that Li Shimin, seated in the highest position, spoke: "All Champion Civilizations cannot stand against the Evolution Game, as it has the power to exile or eradicate any of them. And from what I know, there is only one civilization that the Evolution Game would treat in such a manner."
"The creator of the Evolution Game."
"The Divine Civilization!"
