Chapter 2290: Showdown (Part One) ⚔️

Published: February 13, 2025

“There's nothing to tell them. Just keep the line steady, don’t rush in, and defend our flanks well.”

When it came to actual combat, Xia Lei didn't care about the feelings of the allies anymore.

The Radiant World Army and the Resistance Zone were indeed strong, but the Black-hearted Queen didn’t think they could play a decisive role in this war.

If they could, they wouldn’t be living under the shadow of Cloud Summit. If they could, they wouldn’t have to use war fortresses as weapons of war right now.

“Let Garan and Mina’s squads withdraw to rest. My squad will replace them.”

Guangyao, who had been observing the battlefield, suddenly spoke up, and Xia Lei nodded in agreement.

“Be careful. Although the overall evolution level of the long void corps is not high, their numbers are overwhelming, and their abilities are annoyingly strange. After engaging them, try to take out as many as you can, then let other teams rotate in.”

The reason Xia Lei said this was that the mutated life forms in the long void corps were exceedingly bothersome. During combat, they would continuously spray toxic mist from their behinds, gills, and the sides of their tails. Inhaling this mist would lead to poisoning, while not inhaling it would corrode the exposed skin and equipment.

Even eight-star evolvers and golden equipment would be affected.

The impact would naturally weaken as levels increased, but if you didn’t exert yourself, it would persist, slowly and relentlessly corroding you.

Therefore, after fighting against the long void corps for a while, it was essential to retreat and ‘disinfect’!

Garan and Mina's squads didn’t hold out for long, having to withdraw after about ten minutes. After all, their equipment and overall strength were slightly weaker, and if they fought longer, their combat effectiveness would decline.

Guangyao nodded.

This time in the Land and Sea conflict, Guangyao's squad had an extremely strong desire to fight.

They had separated from the Resistance Zone in the past and had been just like the other squads at Cloud Summit from the beginning until now. They had become the main battle squad of Cloud Summit, and Guangyao was second only to Xia Lei in power.

However, the core of this squad was still from the previous Resistance Zone battle department, with many members having old ties to the Resistance Zone. Now that Guangyao’s battle department had higher levels, better equipment, and gained fame, they wanted to show off in front of these old acquaintances.

Once separated, one must live better than the other; this was more than just an oath in the hearts of many when ending relationships.

The people from the Resistance Zone didn’t want to be looked down upon, and the members of Guangyao’s battle department didn’t want to disappoint.

“Li Qiang, give me the first wave of support to cover our entrance!”

Guangyao was not someone who would have his subordinates hold back and show off. He calmly issued orders.

Li Qiang, who received the command, answered, but there was no movement from his squad until Garan and Mina's squads had nearly retreated to the point of joining Guangyao’s squad. Only then did a synchronized gunfire ring out between heaven and earth.

It was unknown how many bullets struck the front lines of the long void corps.

A spectacular scene unfolded; with each nearly indistinguishable gunshot, a life from the long void corps would fall. After five rounds of this, Garan and Mina's squads successfully retreated, while Guangyao's squad inserted diagonally, formally standing in front of the enemy.

Li Qiang raised his head, his finger still on the trigger. Under his leadership, the remote forces that had arrived utilized the terrain to grasp the opportunity to strike, causing no harm to their own while delivering a fierce blow to the long void corps and achieving significant results.

Each attack took an enemy's life, which remained the unwavering target of the remote forces. Perhaps they would never achieve this consistently, but they would always strive for it.
