Chapter 202 Three Hundred Billion

While tens of thousands of Origin Warriors around the world were nervously accepting their own "Dawn Operation" missions through the Merit System, Lin Yi, who was in the principal's office at Dongfeng Military Academy, also received a mission notification from the Merit System.

Unlike those detailed and clearly defined tasks, Lin Yi's task list was extremely concise, yet enough to make anyone else's scalp tingle.

His list contained only one type of task, which was repeated a full ninety-three times.

[Highest Priority Annihilation Missions (Serial Numbers: GX-Z-001 to GX-Z-093)]

Mission objective: Identify and eliminate Star Core-level Abyss Beast units.

Mission objective: Ensure the target is completely annihilated and prevent it from approaching our main defensive positions and posing a threat to the coalition forces.

Mission Rewards: Different tiers of rewards will be given based on the specific strength level of the target. The base reward for each kill is 5000000 merit points.

Note: This mission is a core strategic element of "Operation Dawn" and is exclusively executed by Supreme Commander Lin Yi.

Ninety-three Star Core-level Abyss Beasts, with a minimum reward of five million merit points.

Behind this string of numbers are all the Star Core-level Abyss Beasts identified in this giant nest operation, a responsibility that Lin Yi, as the pillar of strength, must shoulder alone.

Lin Yi calmly scanned the ninety-three identical mission messages, his face showing no emotion.

Since the establishment of the merit system, he has incorporated all his actions into the merit system.

Whether it was forming an expeditionary force to kill a main hive leader or facing a star core-level being, he would accept missions through the system.

Furthermore, he never handed over anything he didn't need; instead, he exchanged it for merit points through the merit system.

Therefore, over the years, he has accumulated more than 300 billion merit points, which has far exceeded the current limit of the total inventory of merit points that can be exchanged.

But Lin Yi insisted on this.

Once rules are established, they must be followed, whether dealing with subordinates or superiors.

Lin Yi tapped his fingertip and accepted all ninety-three tasks.

He doesn't need to use these merit points to exchange for any resources, but the sheer number represents his contribution to this civilization; it is an invisible record and testament.

Perhaps one day in the future, when he needs to mobilize resources far beyond the norm to handle some private matters or to implement a costly project, these accumulated merit points will be able to come in handy.

This is not about being utilitarian, but rather a kind of wisdom in planning ahead.

Time flew by amidst the intense and well-organized preparations.

Seven days later, with Nie Chang in charge of the central command, the first phase of "Operation Dawn"—eliminating large-scale dens and constructing an ironclad defense line—officially began.

The Blue Star Allied Forces, gathered around the large nest, launched a massive attack on the nest territory under unified command, like a long-awaited torrent.

The symphony of steel and energy began in an instant.

In the era of energy sources, traditional gunpowder weapons continue to play a fundamental role.

The tank swarm's tracks rolled over the scorched earth, and its main guns roared.

Fighter jets, bombers, and armed helicopters swept across the sky, raining down bullets, while heavy artillery behind them carried out simultaneous coverage strikes.

But what's even more striking is that energy-based weapons, which have already formed a system, are beginning to shine on the battlefield.

The "scorching jets" deployed on top of the armored vehicle fired jets of high-temperature energy, easily melting through the thick armor of the elite abyssal beasts.

The "Armor-Piercing Type I" source energy rifles equipped by the soldiers no longer fire bullets, but highly compressed source energy light bullets, which have a strong penetrating and damaging effect on low-level abyssal beasts.

Some modified heavy trucks, with their cargo boxes unfolded to reveal honeycomb-shaped launch pods, were "swarm" energy missiles. A single salvo could cover a large area, and the residual energy turbulence after the explosion could continue to interfere with the movements of the abyss beasts.

Behind the battle line, on a newly erected simple base, the massive "Spear of Judgment" was fully charged. A blinding beam of energy flashed and accurately struck a "Earthshaking Rhinoceros" that was trying to charge, instantly turning it into ashes.

In this network of firepower interwoven with modern technology and source energy techniques, source warriors have become the sharpest blades tearing through enemy lines and deciding the course of the battle.

Chen Yu took the lead, his heart surging with heroic spirit.

He particularly enjoyed the thrill of charging into battle amidst thousands of troops, and the surging source energy within him made him feel full of power.

The brand-new battle sword in his hand, which he had just exchanged for 30 merit points, became even more refined and sharp under the infusion of his powerful source energy. Like the scythe of death, it easily cut down the elite abyss beasts blocking his way.

His commando team followed closely behind the breach he had created, plunging deep into the heart of the lair.

With each swing of his sword, he could feel his control over power improving, and his yearning for that higher realm grew stronger.

Elizabeth, on the other hand, displayed a different fighting style.

She was like a dancer on the battlefield, her figure moving gracefully and deadly along the flanks of the beasts.

Each thrust of her rapier "Frost Whisper" carried an extreme chill, not a wide-ranging freezing, but rather a high compression of ice-based energy at the tip of the sword, precisely invading the energy core or nerve nodes of the abyss beast and disintegrating it from the inside.

Elizabeth's eyes were cold as she observed the battlefield, her mind racing to calculate the optimal angle of attack and sequence, ensuring every ounce of strength was used effectively. Her English squad members, each employing skills learned at the East Peak branch and adapted to their own strengths, worked in perfect harmony, some using shields for defense, others sniping from a distance, and still others assisting in flanking maneuvers, efficiently clearing the flanks and minimizing casualties.

Elizabeth knew in her heart that this was not only a battle, but also a stage to showcase the achievements of the English East Frontier Group to her alma mater and to that being.

On the other side of the battlefield, Andrei continued his unrestrained style, but upon closer inspection, his fighting style had become more methodical than it had been a few years ago.

The members of his squad were equipped with a variety of items, but upon closer inspection, their positioning and firepower coverage subtly formed an effective complementary system.

While fighting, Andrei was still giving orders loudly over the communication channel, with an excited smile on his face, as if this was not a battlefield of life and death, but a grand carnival.

He was determined to showcase the "unique characteristics" of the America Dongfeng faction to his old friends in Xia Country.

Meanwhile, elite civilian teams like the "Lynx" squad are active in the gaps between the battle lines, in ruined alleyways, and in complex terrain.

With his rich experience, Old Cat can always lead the team to find targets that are both valuable and have relatively controllable risks.

The monkey scouted ahead like a ghost, his dagger now imbued with armor-piercing energy patterns, making it easier to deal with lurking shadow beasts.

Big Bear carried a newly acquired, sturdy energy-engraved heavy shield, standing firmly at the front to create space for his teammates to deal damage.

The bamboo pole's sniper crossbow has also been upgraded; the arrowheads can be switched to explode, penetrate, or paralyze effects as needed.

Nightingale remains their most reliable crowd control and finisher; her energy blades have become even more unpredictable, often saving the day at crucial moments.

Like experienced hunters, they search for their prey in the chaotic battlefield. Each successful hunt and the notification of merit points sent to their wristbands fill them with anticipation for future equipment upgrades and strength enhancements.

Meanwhile, in the makeshift forward command post at the rear, Zhou Yuxuan was intently watching several huge light screens in front of him.

The screen displays real-time battlefield data streams, unit positions, source energy weapon status, and tactical suggestions pushed by the Xuanji system.

His task was to assist the command in sorting out battlefield information and fine-tuning tactics.

"Notify the Third Armored Company to shift 150 meters to the left flank to fill the firepower gap left by the 'Firehawk' squad's movement."

“C-11 area marked. An abnormal energy accumulation has been detected, suspected to be a ranged elite unit. It is recommended to prioritize ranged fire coverage.”

"Xuanji, recalculate the cooldown time and optimal attack sequence for 'Spear of Judgment' base number 7."

Zhou Yuxuan thoroughly enjoyed the feeling of being in control, watching the battlefield situation develop in a favorable direction due to his subtle adjustments, which brought him a sense of accomplishment no less than personally fighting on the front lines.

He noticed that Chen Yu's attack speed was a bit too fast, which might expose his flanks, so he immediately sent a warning through the encrypted channel.

Throughout the entire devastating advance, Lin Yi remained suspended high in the sky behind the battlefield.

He showed no sign of making a move, simply calmly surveying the entire battlefield like a composed observer.

However, his very existence is a pillar of stability.

Whenever the soldiers looked up during a lull in the fighting and saw that suspended figure, most of their tension would dissipate.

Even when the leader-level "Molten Mountain Beast," with a source energy level of 99900 points, was coiled beside the large nest vortex and roared as it charged out of the nest vortex, accompanied by a rain of lava and fire, attempting to turn the tide of the battle with its own violent power, Lin Yi still did not make a move.

"Leave it to you."

He calmly uttered five words through the highest-level communication channel.

These simple words, however, made the strong men on the front lines feel as if they had been given a stimulant.

Chen Yu let out a long laugh, unleashing his full source energy, causing the blade's aura to surge.

Elizabeth's eyes narrowed, the temperature around her plummeted, and countless ice crystal swords condensed in the air as she unleashed her ultimate technique.

Andrei roared, maximizing his source energy output, preparing to confront the behemoth head-on.

Several powerful members of the Training Corps also converged from different directions.

The dazzling yet terrifying light of the source energy instantly engulfed the "Molten Mountain Beast".

The clash of ice and fire, the battle of strength and skill, unfolded fiercely on this scorched earth.

In less than a minute, this powerful leader-level abyss beast was defeated by the combined forces amidst its unwilling roar.

Its enormous body turned to ashes, leaving behind only a golden-patterned blue spiritual crystal.

Under the overwhelming force of military power and the valiant fighting of numerous Origin Warriors, the resistance of the large nest quickly crumbled.

The allied forces advanced with unstoppable momentum, taking less than two days to completely occupy the lair territory and wipe out more than 90% of the abyssal beasts within its boundaries.
