Showdown, my deck is from the East.

Chapter 1247 Blitzkrieg in Yunzhou, the Land in Peril

More than four hundred years ago, the Heavenly Demons of the Upper Realm invaded the Wilderness. The Demon Clan's new weapon, the Demon King-level card, put Lu Cheng under great pressure, thus prompting him to plan the three main mythological forces.

This means that these three cards were never designed to be easily defeated by ordinary demon units.

As long as supplies keep up, no matter how many ordinary demons come, it won't make a difference.

Lu Cheng was never one to underestimate his enemies, but he couldn't help but laugh when he heard that Huaguo Mountain was "surrounded".

Do you want to take over Flower Fruit Mountain with a bunch of ragtag soldiers?

How is this possible?
However, apart from the East China Sea region, the overall situation in the game is extremely precarious.

Lu Cheng originally planned to use high-quality units as a fulcrum, and then build a high-level rapid reaction force to put out fires everywhere and keep the fortress complex safe.

However, due to the Demon Army's unexpected deployment capabilities and massive resources, the flames of war simultaneously reached the borders of all the era fortresses in Yanzhou, Yunzhou, and the Wilderness in one turn, leaving our own rapid reaction forces with no time to react.

According to intelligence, the massive vanguard of the demon race has already entered the conflict zone in this round and assembled at a single point. Their advance is even faster than the battle reports are being transmitted back.

Like a necromancer, the Plague Lord infected and resurrected the civilizations he had once destroyed, then poured them all onto the front lines.

Have you ever seen a horde of zombies?

It wasn't the kind of situation where tens of thousands of zombies were chasing after a few pretty girls.

Among the vanguard forces attacking Yunzhou, there were over 400 billion human and other organic corpses alone. Each organism was like a container city, carrying a large number of parasite eggs and viruses, which could hatch tens of thousands of times more swarms of insects and infected regular armies.

They are also equipped with over 100 billion chaotic machines, carrying a total of over 4.9 square kilometers of spiritual space, the contents of which are unknown.

Such a massive zombie horde would be an instant kill for any planetary civilization of any level. Ironically, this enormous army could only assemble in a short time—the time it took to reach a single Cloud-Middle-aged man!
For Lu Cheng, it was not easy to withstand the tentative blow from the Plague Demon Lord.

With an army that outnumbers the total population, how can they possibly hold them off?

Now, the only thing standing in the way of this world-destroying demon army is a newly formed army established in the Eternal Age!

In 317, the Heavenly Court's Yunzhou Guard vs. the Central Plains Vanguard Army

The arrival of the demon army signifies that civilization has entered its darkest hour, but this statement is not accurate. Human civilization has struggled to survive for tens of thousands of years and has never seen the light.

His Daoist name was Tianxuan Sword Master. He was a native of Feiyun Star in Yanzhou. He comprehended swordsmanship at the age of three, became invincible in his plane at the age of ten, founded his own sect, and cultivated diligently for thousands of years. In the end, he opened the heavens with a single sword and ascended to the upper realm. Even his chickens and dogs ascended to heaven.

Upon ascending, he triggered the unprecedented "Nine Heavens Thunder Tribulation," from which he comprehended the supreme sword path, touching upon the very origin of the Dao.

Now, his sword lies in the mud, his golden body gone, his three flowers scattered, and his purple aura vanished.

The arrogant light that once filled his eyes had long since dissipated, and he was no different from the nameless corpses of the soldiers around him.

Actually, she has a name and a Taoist title: True Man of Calamity Fire, Ancestor of Devouring Heaven, and Sovereign of White Aconite.
Whether you are the flesh and blood of your mother, a legend from a book, or a god worshipped by thousands in a temple, in the face of the demons, you are all the same, with no difference whatsoever.

"Ah Xuan, Ah Xuan!"

"Sister Bai, Sister Bai!"

Cui Yun called out to his comrades, but they didn't respond. It seemed that the anti-aircraft flying sword soldiers, the Suwen medics, the Zhenhuo epidemic prevention infantry, and the captain had all gone to report to the underworld. He spat out a mouthful of blood, stood up from underground, and leaped to the surface.

A thick red light streaked across the sky; it was the Sun-Shooting Bow of the [Da Yi] Fortress Cannon that detonated an enemy energy star, and a transport mother insect, having lost its heat source, was sliding down from the sky.

"Good riddance!" Cui Yun exclaimed.

But then, with a serious expression, the mother insect, before dying, still hurled billions of corpses down upon the trenches that had been terraformed on this planet.

Before the corpses even arrived, the powerful solar staircase catalyzed the parasites on the corpses. These flying insects emerged from the pustules all over the corpse horde and multiplied as soon as they were exposed to the wind!

【Mayfly-9】

Developed by the Zerg Swarm, this is a disposable planetary bomber, a joint development between the stellar-class Zerg Swarm and the Plague Clan. It's not fast, not large, and lacks stealth capabilities, but its sheer numbers can easily overwhelm the planetary fortress's air defenses, unleashing terrifying munitions.

"Air strike!"

Although no one could receive the message anymore, Cui Yun still issued a warning based on the training manual.

He realized at that moment that the Nantianmen combat platform had issued the evacuation order 142 minutes ago, but due to the massive mass of the recently shot-down insect queen, the planetary time had deviated, and Cui Yun only now realized that more than 30 hours had passed.

His comrades wouldn't have died, but Cui Yun is clearly now unable to retreat.

Sizzle!

There was no sound of explosive munitions, but Cui Yun knew that the Ephemeral-9 had already dropped its bombs, and the acid was corroding the mantle layer.

"How long can the trenches hold out?" Cui Yun asked Nantianmen through gritted teeth.

"8"

"8 minutes?"

"7"

"6"

"Damn it!" Cui Yun was a handsome young man when he was cultivating, but now he was completely devoid of any gentle demeanor.
"Immortal Technique: Control the Sky!"

But he did not fly.

During the terrifying bombing by Ephemeral-9, the biological weapons it dropped carried a large number of viruses, which had already contaminated the rules governing the flow of spiritual energy and the physical laws of this place.

The law enforcement squads near our side have probably been defeated.

Cui Yun sighed and took out a jade slip.

That was a jade pendant my wife gave me before I left, saying it would bring me good fortune and ward off evil.

The image of the Buddha carved on the jade pendant has developed fine tentacles and bloodshot eyes due to the pollution.

Cui Yun gave a self-deprecating laugh.

"I was once a true lord of this realm, far more powerful than the gods in temples. It's a pity I can no longer kill. I hope to be reincarnated and see you again."

The tenderness lasted only a moment before his eyes turned fierce.

Even for her sake, the demons had no choice but to kill; retreating meant annihilation without any reason to back down!

"Shatter." Without hesitation, he crushed the golden core, which was equivalent to a salvo: "Commander Lu, the 3rd Platoon of the 4th Defense Brigade of Yunzhou Guard has been completely wiped out. They defended the trenches of Planet 171 for more than seventy-four hours, eliminating a total of forty enemy units. Mission accomplished!"

Over the past four days, Yunzhou Guard has inflicted extremely heavy losses on the Demon Army, but the three planetary trench groups outside the Yunzhou-Mingqiankun Fortress, which served as a buffer, have still fallen into enemy hands.

This was an extremely unequal blitzkrieg; the two sides were not even in the same league, and the demons had no supply lines and did not care about losses.

They only need to rest for three days before they can launch an attack on Qiankun Fortress.

To be precise, they have discovered the true face of the most fortified stronghold of human civilization to date.

Once a single point of attack is breached, given the virus's transmissibility, it will be extremely difficult to recover the situation.
"Danger"

The extremely brief message, devoid of even punctuation, was sent to the Ming Shenji camp, but due to the influence of the infected, the information transmission speed might not even be as fast as the demon race's advance.

Reinforcements are unlikely to arrive.
Everyone knew that even Marshal Lu's Imperial Guards did not have such capability; no other unit could arrive so quickly!
