Chapter 68 Breaking Through the Formation and Overcoming the Barrier
Chapter 68 Breaking Through the Formation and Overcoming the Barrier
P.S.: The previous chapter was censored, embarrassing...
----------------
The ultra-high pressure shockwave generated by the explosion was like an invisible giant hammer, smashing in all directions, tearing and blowing away tents further away like pieces of paper! The air seemed to be ignited instantly, forming an infernal hell of high pressure and high temperature.
Following the shockwave came a deluge of sticky, will-o'-the-wisps of burning material, scattering like a shower of petals from the sky with the force of the explosion! It clung to everything flammable and non-flammable—tents, weapons, warhorses, and… even living human bodies!
The intense burning emitted a hissing sound, and the acrid smoke and the smell of burnt meat filled the air. This white phosphorus powder was flammable upon contact, relentlessly pursuing and entangled! Amidst this hellish chaos, a mixture of three nerve agents silently spread throughout the camp.
On the watchtower at the edge of the mountain pass, the sentry turned back in terror, his face glowing blood red in the towering flames.
He instinctively reached for the alarm bell handle, and just as the "ding-ding" sound rang out, a bullet pierced his skull. The young soldier's body tensed abruptly, and he fell from the high observation platform.
This is Xiaobai's doing.
Among the current Cloud Mist Territory team, Xiaobai's marksmanship is number one. First, because his hands don't shake. Second, during Chen Mo's long period of learning and training, Xiaobai, who was locked in the room every day, practiced aiming and setting up the gun repeatedly.
Even though I still lack some live-fire experience, hitting the enemy is not a difficult task with the help of a high-powered scope.
Meanwhile, the sentry on the other side was being handled by another heavy anti-materiel rifle, but after the heavy gunshot rang out, the other side was still ringing the bell urgently, clearly indicating that the shot had missed.
The gunman wasn't Chen Mo; Chen Mo's small arms and legs weren't strong enough to lift that anti-materiel sniper rifle.
The one who controls it is—Princess Liushuang.
That's right. Although the magnificent longsword at her waist was never used, and although the little princess usually looked like a naive little girl, in reality, Liu Shuang was a genuine professional swordsman, a second-tier Iron Badge, who had studied under Amber, the famous female swordsmanship master of the Emerald Duchy, and had also received careful guidance and training from Peiwen.
If she hadn't been so lazy, her achievements would have been far greater.
After the young princess twirled a heavy anti-materiel rifle weighing nearly 20 kilograms with one hand, Chen Mo immediately agreed to her request to "play with the gun" and began to seriously consider her earlier suggestion of having an affair.
It's not that I have any dirty thoughts, it's just that I'm worried that if the other party uses too much force, I might end up losing everything...
The young princess's first shot in her career went completely astray.
However, Chief of the Guard, Peven, seemed to have foreseen this.
Because there were only two gas masks, only Pevin and another captain went out to attack. They took advantage of the darkness to quietly sneak to the edge of the woods and lie in ambush. At the moment the earthquake shook the earth, they rushed out at the same time.
Captain Peiwen left the forest and headed straight for the watchtower that the young princess was in charge of. With a violent charge, the wooden platform was reduced to flying debris.
Easily knocking out the sentry who had fallen from the broken watchtower, Peiwen got up and charged back into the barracks.
The "triad" strike plan formulated by the Eastern Xia General Staff was remarkably effective.
Thermobaric weapons are designed to destroy obstacles, tear through cover, and create chaos and casualties.
White phosphorus bombs followed closely behind, transforming into highly adhesive deadly fire after the bunkers were destroyed, reaping the exposed manpower.
Nerve gas, acting as the final scavenger, is responsible for filling in any gaps and covering areas not reached by white phosphorus bombs.
When Captain Peiwen stormed into the camp, he was met with a scene of utter devastation.
The Green Pine soldiers who were killed in the first explosion by the core flame and shockwave of the thermobaric bomb were lucky. Death came so quickly that in the brutal war, it became a merciful release.
The soldiers who survived were then subjected to the scorching heat of white phosphorus bombs.
Unlike the thermite bomb, another type of battlefield incendiary bomb, white phosphorus bombs have extremely strong adhesive properties after exploding. Soldiers engulfed in phosphorus flames instantly turned into running and howling "human torches".
They ran and tumbled in vain, letting out heart-wrenching, spine-chilling screams of despair. The sounds gradually faded from shrill to faint, finally disappearing completely with their contorted, collapsing movements.
All that remained were charred, curled-up remains, still emitting wisps of smoke.
Finally, there were the lucky few on the outskirts of the battlefield. Because of their location, they escaped the first and second waves of attacks, only to be met with the "warm embrace" of nerve gas. The highly toxic gas was insidious, penetrating everywhere, with the vulnerable eyes and nasal mucosa bearing the brunt. The extreme pain instantly shattered their sanity; the surviving soldiers began frantically scratching their faces, tearing at their skin, and some even gouged their eyeballs out of their sockets.
The scene was extremely bloody!
Pevin swiftly finished them off. Eliminating the threat quickly also lessened the suffering of these poor guys.
The only survivor—the sentry who had been knocked unconscious by Peiwen—quickly confessed everything under the pain and fear of death: Wangshan City had indeed received a strict order from the Zircon family to block this exit to the Emerald Duchy and join forces with the Xiyue Federation to strangle this "enemy" from Emerald near the Dark Forest.
After confirming the information twice, Pevin decisively snapped the sentry's neck.
The battle ended so quickly, like a gentle breeze sweeping across the plains, leaving only ruins and corpses scattered everywhere.
After the battle, the people of Yunwu Territory looked at Chen Mo as if he were the illegitimate son of the emperor of the Qiyue Dynasty.
The young princess was still a little confused: "I think this is still not as powerful as the Bone Dragon."
Master Locke shook his head with a wry smile: "Your Highness, you should note that the ferocity of these weapons is only one aspect. What's even more terrifying is that he had that mysterious being in the distance devise a battle plan specifically for him."
He paused, trying to explain with an analogy the young princess could understand: "It's like our territory offering tribute to the duchy's ruler and requesting support. The ruler sending a troop of elite cavalry is, of course, within the reasonable and normal scope of interaction."
"However, if the ruler not only sends troops, but also carefully arranges a combination of melee, mid-range, and long-range troops for you, and sends you a detailed battle plan that includes 'what time to start the battle,' 'from which direction to attack,' and 'how to deal with unexpected situations,' then it is no longer a matter of money or cooperation."
Peiwen felt this particularly deeply. Most of the offerings for this sacrifice were collected by the Cloud Mist Territory team. Those things would be too shabby to even summon a village chief-level undead, let alone move a "Cyber King".
Peiwen glanced at Chen Mo, who was standing on a small hill, patting something with a tool, and lowered her voice: "Also, you should know that the king behind him doesn't even know where the battlefield is."
This fully demonstrates the tactical prowess of the team behind the scenes.
Without any understanding of the situation or any battlefield reconnaissance, the enemy still managed to come up with a battle plan to ensure the complete annihilation of an entire infantry company of the Green Pine Kingdom in one fell swoop.
Even such details were included in that battle plan.
To prevent any potential harm from residual nerve gas to those crossing the mountain pass, the enemy also specially equipped their grenades with three high-pressure grenades that could explode, to bombard the battlefield again and open a safe passage.
In Peiwen's understanding, he didn't think the other party would have any pity for a group of dead people soaking in this eerie "underworld atmosphere".
All of this is most likely because Chen Mo's mental capacity was insufficient, and the other party was unable to send more safety and anti-toxic equipment, so they specially sent "cleanup" equipment instead.
All of the above makes Chen Mo's background increasingly mysterious in the eyes of the bigwigs in the Cloud Mist Territory.
Peiwen is a sensible person; at times like this, she shouldn't ask questions she shouldn't.
Let's go back to our territory first!
First of all, thank you all for your support! Now, I'd like to answer a few of your questions.
The author currently updates twice a day at midnight, so you can read it no matter what time you get up.
Why not update more chapters... Firstly, it's not appropriate to update too quickly during the new book period on Qidian. Secondly... the author's writing speed is not high, so even if I wanted to, I couldn't update faster.
I don't know when it will be available; I'll leave that to the editor.
The reason for asking everyone to continue reading on July 16th is that readership data on Qidian is very important at certain points. However, during the new book period, we feel bad for troubling everyone to keep reading. Therefore, we hope that everyone can support us by continuing to read the book until the last chapter at certain specific times.
Many people are also saying it's padded! Well, if you deliberately remove padded content during the free period, it will be extremely detrimental to the author. The author wants to present all aspects of a story relatively completely, so they will interweave background, setting, characters, scenes, foreshadowing, etc.
If you read the plot together, you should be able to tell that the author didn't intentionally slow down the story; it's just that this is the author's first book on Qidian, and the author's control over the pacing isn't very good yet.
Moreover, the author has been making revisions. For example, details like aristocratic etiquette were cut because you didn't seem to like them. Similarly, the detailed descriptions of the Hedgehog Tavern were greatly simplified because you found them verbose.
Of course, some opinions are a matter of perspective, so you can enjoy your exciting articles while I go about my own difficult path.
I will continue writing diligently, and thank you again for your support!
Thanks! ! !
