Chapter 940: The Earth Spirit is indeed very useful! (Protagonist certification)

"General Cato, you...just brought back these red light balls?" Edward's face changed greatly.

He thought he would bring Lu Xingshi over, but Cato only brought back these things.

"Grand Duke Landon couldn't get away and refused to leave no matter how much we persuaded him. Then he gave me a few transformed earth elves." Cato was helpless, but there was nothing he could do.

No matter in status, power or strength, he could not compare to Lu Xingshi.

If the other party is willing to come, that would be the best, but if he is not willing to come, he cannot force him.

"Will it work?" Edward looked up and down at the red ball of light called the Earth Spirit.

"There is a possibility of success. These light balls contain a trace of divine power, and their life breath is extremely complex, at least stronger than those steam soldiers." The Dragon of Life explained to Edward.

"Not only that, it also contains powerful energy. If we can't defeat it, directly detonating it can also cause great power." The Death Dragon added.

"I don't know about that, but Grand Duke Langton told me to use it this way." Cato briefly summarized the usage to Edward.

Edward felt more and more that Grand Duke Langton seemed a little arbitrary.

"Or else we can just use these earth elves to cover the walls, to strengthen the seal, and then wait for Grand Duke Lanton to come?" Edward was almost led astray by Cato, but fortunately he corrected himself immediately.

His idea is to stick to it.

The idea was good, but just as he finished speaking, the seal created by the Dragon of Life and the Dragon of Death was broken.

"Quick, throw one over to test the waters." Cato reacted immediately.

Edward was not slow either. He grabbed an earth elf and threw it at the soul demon.

The earth elf was stupid and dazed throughout the whole process, but when it came into contact with the soul demon, it went berserk.

Countless pieces of earth and rocks continued to spread out from its spherical body, and in just an instant, it turned into a ten-meter-tall rock giant.

A large amount of earth elemental witchcraft, fighting skills and abilities were continuously spread out as if they were free of charge, forcibly splitting the hundred-meter-tall soul demon into two, and even continuing to tear it into pieces.

"It seems, it is indeed very powerful..." Edward looked at this scene and fell silent.

"Or else just throw all the rest over and kill this soul demon directly..." Cato thought that there is strength in numbers.

But the next moment, the torn soul demon began to heal, and directly wrapped the rock giant incarnated by the earth elf.

Countless transparent liquid gels melted the soil and rocks.

Then, a hair-raising explosion occurred.

The soul demon couldn't help but tremble, and a large number of human facial tumors were shattered.

Then, with the soul demon as the center, an invisible ripple storm composed of spirit and soul broke out.

It was obvious that the earth elf directly self-destructed, causing damage to the soul demon, causing the soul demon to launch this attack out of pain.

The earth elves surrounding Cato noticed the problem at the first moment and directly supported the earth wall built with earth elements.

This earth wall can not only withstand physical attacks, but also block invisible attacks such as mental and spiritual attacks.

In addition, this defense was not constructed by one earth elf, but was constructed synchronously by all the earth elves present, so it was more powerful.

The invisible ripple storm was blocked directly, and no one was injured.

However, the earth wall is also in danger.

"Quick, seal it!" Cato shouted.

It now seems that in a head-on battle, the Earth Elves are no match for the Soul Demons, but in terms of defense, the Earth Elves are still better.

The Dragon of Life and the Dragon of Death did not hesitate at all, and once again joined forces to restore the seal, and then killed all the monsters and iron men that were left out through their breath.

Edward was also quick-witted and quick-handed. When he saw that the seal was completed, he grabbed an earth elf and stuck it directly on the seal.

The next moment, the entire seal changed. It not only became stronger and tougher, but also gained a series of abilities such as strong recovery, anti-injury, rebound, anti-shock, shield, etc.

"It should be able to hold on a little longer." Edward breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at the seal.

However, before he had finished speaking for three seconds, the seal began to vibrate.

“It seems that the self-explosion of the earth elf just now has caused serious injuries to the soul demon. This time the attack is obviously much crazier than the last time.” The Dragon of Life said, looking at the seal.

"Even with the earth elves building walls to strengthen the seal, I'm afraid it won't last as long as last time." The Death Dragon assessed the situation.

Last time I just provoked the soul demon, but this time is different. It is equivalent to ripping open its belly. How could the soul demon let it go?

So the attack was much more fierce than last time.

"Fortunately, we still have a large number of earth elves, and they can hold out until the arrival of Grand Duke Landon." Cato took a look and found that he still had eight in his hands, excluding the two he had used.

"If nothing unexpected happens, we can hold on." Edward suddenly said, "I have offended many empires. Before, with General Cato's steam soldiers here, they didn't dare to come."

"Now... that's not necessarily the case."

Cato's expression remained unchanged: "Don't worry, I sent a letter to ask the Empire for reinforcements when I was in the Dragon Mountains."

"That's why I'm worried. After all, it will take time for the Empire's steam soldiers to arrive."

"If they arrive first, it will be bad." Edward's worries did not decrease, but increased. It is a good thing to have reinforcements, provided that the reinforcements have arrived.

However, Gato smiled and said, "We still have the Earth Elves."

"They are indeed a little stupid, but we have seen their combat effectiveness."

"If they can even fight such a powerful soul demon for a short time, the extraordinary soldiers of other empires also have a chance to win."

"The Earth Elves are at least fifth-order extraordinary soldiers, comparable to the Empire's Type 5 Steam Soldiers."

"And Grand Duke Landon said that the earth elves are better at defense than attack." Cato still has a lot of confidence in Lu Xingshi.

"I hope so." Edward glanced at the earth elves. He did not deny that they were powerful, but their numbers were still too small.

"I'm asking for help from the Moonlight Werewolf. They'll come faster and have stronger combat power."

"So don't worry for now." Cato actually wanted another thousand Type 4 steam soldiers, but he knew that the Empire couldn't spare them.

So the only option is the stronger fourth-level Moonlight Violent Werewolf.

As for the number, it is less than one thousand, probably only around five hundred.

However, these five hundred moonlight violent werewolves can defeat a thousand steam soldiers of the same level during the day, and they are even stronger at night, directly defeating two thousand.

The corresponding cost will be higher.

In fact, the best way is to bring the magic mirror puppets from the Dragon Mountains. The magic mirror factory space with the seven deadly sins magic mirrors can bring all the magic mirror puppets here.

That means we have cannon fodder for our troops and elite troops for our troops, and we don’t have to worry about problems crossing into other countries.

But the empire would certainly not agree. The Dragon Mountains were too important and this border defense force could not be moved.

Although Lu Xingshi is in charge, even if there is no one else, the surrounding countries dare not act rashly. However, Lu Xingshi is alone and he may not be able to take care of small movements.

"That's good. The other countries are not as enlightened as the empire. Many of them are corrupt." Edward had seen the diversity of the countries.

He had heard of the Moonlight Violent Werewolf. There had once been a Moonlight Violent Werewolf among the elite troops that had been hunting him. He had a very deep impression of him.

Worthy of the name of elite.

Especially its sense of smell and bloodthirsty instinct, which almost let the protection of the Dragon of Life be seen through.

His combat capability is also unquestionable. He is an extraordinary soldier who has made a name for himself on the front battlefield.

"But we still have to prepare trenches and other facilities in advance, so that even if those blind idiots really come to kill us, we will be well prepared." Cato is preparing for a rainy day.

He is a professional.

Edward naturally would not object, as this would be beneficial to them.

"Just leave it to the earth elves, they can do it." Cato said and gave orders to the earth elves.

After all, it is an earth-based place, so there is not much problem in reshaping the terrain. It is entirely possible to make this place easy to defend and difficult to attack.

...

"Psykers and psykers have all failed. Every time they travel through time, they are forced to lock onto the same high-energy individual."

"Then they will be erased due to failure in seizing the carrier."

"We can only use the souls of ordinary people, President." The researcher said with a frown.

The president narrowed his eyes when he heard this.

"Then if we obtain short-term data from a large number of ordinary people, can we get complete data?" The president made up his mind and thought of a great way.

By sacrificing a large number of ordinary people, we can increase quality by quantity.

"Yes, we can, but we need at least 100,000 people as a test."

"Once the alliance sacrifices so many people, it will cause all kinds of problems." The researcher didn't feel much, but spoke the truth.

"No, we don't want to use people from the alliance. We want to use civilians from Star Country," the president said calmly.

The Star Alliance is the core of the Star Country and the actual controller of the Star Country.

The Alliance can be equal to Star Country, but Star Country is not equal to the Alliance.

The population of Singapore is 8 billion, and 100,000 people is just a drop in the bucket for Singapore.

If there were no requirements for the strength of the soul, the number of deaths would actually be enough.

“This…will probably cause problems in public opinion,” the researcher said.

"The Alliance has given so much to Star Country. It's time to repay the Alliance." The president didn't care about this at all: "And don't worry, there are only 100,000 people. If we do it in a covert manner, it won't cause any major social problems."

"Mr. President, these are 100,000 young and strong people, it's still very obvious." The researcher reminded.

"It's okay, just do as I say." The President knew it would be obvious, especially in peacetime, but in his view, these problems were just minor issues.
