Chapter 921 – Settled in One Battle
The surviving flying device shook and wavered, and it flew for less than a thousand meters before the wings started to catch fire. He had no choice but to find a place in the palace to land. As such, he finally escaped but lost his fighting ability.
In such a short time, the golden leopard took down three flying devices. As expected from a god beast.
When the marines saw the leopard destroy flying device after flying device, they were astonished. The Atlantic Squadron had met many ocean beasts while traveling from Morocco to Somalia.
Those beasts were 10 times larger than this golden leopard, but they did not possess such skills.
“General, what should we do now?” The deputy asked.
The leading general gritted his teeth, “Do not care about it; just kill our way in.” The marines could be exposed if they stayed here, so they had to act.
Although the beast was strong, they had no choice but to give it a shot.
“Yes general!”
After receiving the orders, the marines showed no fear as they rushed toward the palace gates. In a short while, they destroyed those stationed outside and made their way into the palace. They headed straight for the main hall.
On the way, they met a few guard soldiers, which they took down one by one.
In front of the main hall, the nightmare battle began.
The Flying Squad had turned their target to the golden leopard, so the marines had to solve the problem in front of them alone.
“How bold, they actually dare to try to charge into the palace.”
Although the Somalia guards were bombed till their faces were covered in ash, they were all the elite of the elites since the king kept them in the palace.
“Fire!”
The marines did not bother. They simply shot a round of arrows before they came into contact. The strength of the God arm crossbows was amazing, and 200 people fell instantly.
“Kill!”
Putting away the god arm crossbow, the marines raised their blades and charged over.
The marines were all trained in the special force base, and they were good at all types of weapons and combat. Their strength was comparable to the Guards Legion Corps, and they were better than the other War Fighting Legion corps.
Hence, although they were fighting two against one, they could still gain the advantage.
The marines knew that the Flying Squad was using their lives to distract the golden leopard and buy time for them. They had no time to waste.
On the white square outside the main hall, fresh blood flowed. The red mixed with the white, a truly intense mismatch.
This battle lasted for close to an hour. Both sides tried their best to kill the enemy.
After half of the Somalia guards were sacrificed, their mental strength finally collapsed. They were not willing to fight with the marines and tried to flee.
The marines were not any better and only 300 of them were left.
If they had not faced the hell-like training of the special force base, they would not be so tough and bold, and they would have collapsed even faster.
“At least we won.”
However, the victors did not show much happiness. Instead, they were bitter, as not far away, a large roar spread over, ‘Growl!’
An hour, in just an hour, the Flying Squad was destroyed by the golden leopard, and they were forced to return.
Wounded and bloody, the golden leopard was like a war god. It slowly proceeded toward the main hall. It was going to protect the survival of its nation, performing its duty as a country protector god beast.
Could the wounded marines still face such a beast?
They did not have much confidence.
Even so, they still had to fight. After all, they had a duty; they had a responsibility.
“Brothers, prepare to give our lives!”
The marine’s main general wiped his face. He wiped the blood off his face as he smiled.
“Knew that it was not something good!” The marines all scoffed. All of them were covered in blood, and they held their blades firmly in their hands.
‘Growl!’
The golden leopard finally arrived at the front of the hall. Behind it, there was a blood trail. One could see that the bombing of the Flying Squad had hurt it badly. If it were not a god beast, it would have definitely died.
“Kill!”
The marines surrounded the god beast and wanted to use a human ocean method to kill it.
The golden leopard did not shoot out any light bullets. Instead, it used its body to fight. Within the four meter long, human-height beast, a shocking power and explosiveness dwelled.
One on one, none of them was its opponent.
During this time, the marines tried to send a small group into the hall to destroy the stone stele. Who knew that the golden leopard was really sharp, and no one could escape its eyes.
Seeing someone enter, it whipped with its tail to strike the enemy. With one jump, it leaped into the main hall to stop them from destroying the stone stele.
When the main general saw that, he shook his head and led his troops into the main hall.
The battlefield changed from outside the hall to inside the narrow hall. This made the marines more packed, and they suffered heavy losses.
Both sides fought for 20 minutes, and the golden leopard was still filled with energy.
However, the marines used up a lot of their stamina, and their attacks got weaker and weaker. The marine general was really anxious. If he failed, he really did not know how he would answer to the Fleet Admiral.
At this very moment, a loud shout spread out from outside the hall, “Bastard!”
Turning around, they saw a bunch of men walk into the hall; these men wore Mingguang Armor. They were the dragon blood war cavalry led by Ma Teng. When the marines saw these men, they were delighted; their victory was secured.
On the south outskirts, Ma Teng had finally crushed the Somalia Army Alliance with the help of the Atlantic Squadron.
Throughout the process, Alvaro could hear the roars in the city and also learned that the Flying Squad was badly damaged.
After gathering with Ma Teng, Alvaro told him all he knew.
When Ma Teng heard it, he decisively handed over control to Alvaro. Meanwhile, he led a thousand dragon blood war cavalry into the city.
Alvaro reinforcing him was following orders, but he was a huge lifesaver to Ma Teng. Ma Teng had to repay this help.
He rushed, and at the final moment, he managed to save the marines.
The following battle was really boring.
The dragon blood war cavalry took over the attacks, and the marines worked to destroy the stone stele.
The moment the stone stele was destroyed, the golden leopard stopped fighting. The more magical part was that its wounds healed up, and it became a brand new majestic god beast.
Ma Teng and the others were shocked; they thought that there would be a round two.
However, the leopard just looked at them and causally walked into the palace. It had already changed masters. Now, it belonged to the Great Xia.
When Ma Teng and the others saw this, they all heaved a sigh of relief. No one was willing to fight with it again.
“Lock down the palace and find the king.” Ma Teng ordered.
As the main reason for this war, Ma Teng definitely would not let the Somalia King go.
“Yes general!”
The dragon blood war cavalry spread apart, and the king who was hiding in the basement would not be able to escape.
At the same time, a System Notification sounded out.
“World Notification: Congratulations player Qiyue Wuyi for crushing Somalia. Specially awarded 100 thousand merit points, and 200 thousand reputation points. Congratulations player!”
…
The Battle of Somalia had allowed Ouyang Shuo to earn an extra 150 thousand merit points.
However, he already had the highest rank of prince. As such, until Gaia announced the next rank, he did not know how many merit points he would need to upgrade.
It seemed like Gaia had not expected anyone to be able to break the two million merit point mark in the 4th year.
In the previous five years of his last life, no one had managed to do so.
“What an abnormality.”
In the city in the skies, Gaia muttered.
…
“World Notification: Congratulations player Qiyue Wuyi for crushing Somalia. As the 3rd person to crush a country, awarded a million gold.”
…
As per usual, the reward was worse the lower one’s position. The second position had a special reward, while the third was only given a paltry million.
Luckily, with this money, rebuilding Somalia would not use up other sources of gold from the Imperial Court.
…
“World Report: Somalia has been destroyed. All player levels, skills, cultivation methods, and the like are reset to zero; they are teleported to the sealed lands as punishment!”
…
The moment the first notification sounded out, the Somalia players were ashen. Regardless of whether the king could escape or not, the players were dead.
With the notification, they all turned into a light and the battlefield became spacious.
Seeing the players disappear, the Somalia guards and territory army soldiers all stopped fighting.
This huge battle had ended.
Although there were some challenges in the process, Great Xia had taken down another country and won honor.
As for the people that mocked them, upon getting the news, they all shut their mouths, awkwardly silent.
“We have lost our face.”
…
“World Notification: China Region Qiyue Wuyi has won the country war. China region obtains 10 honor points, rewarding China players with +1 innate stats. Congratulations China region!”
…
The moment the notification went out, the China region was incredibly bustling.
Back when the Somalia Alliance Army turned the tides, although most of the players were cheering for the Great Xia Dynasty, many started mocking them.
When the Great Xia Dynasty gained glory for the country once again, winning country honor points, those mocking people hid in the darkness.
If someone saw them, they would ask, “Weren’t you mocking them? Why do you have the face to enjoy the rewards they bring? If it was me, I would kill myself.”
“That’s right, do not accept handouts!”
‘Haha!’
The players mocked them similar to how they mocked Great Xia.
