I'm in the Teyvat running group

"Second scout team has established coordinates: A2-05, a god-level monster. Requesting full-power attack!"

"Coordinates received. Retreat immediately! Retreat immediately! 'Yuheng' and 'Kaiyang' will launch a full-power attack. Retreat to within 2,000 meters!"

"receive!"

Even from the ground, one can see that the charging arrays at the base of the two Jade Pavilions are starting to operate at full power, which is a sign that the charging arrays of the Super Light Sword Cannons on the Jade Pavilions have started to operate at full power.

During the design phase, the three charging arrays on the Jade Pavilion did indeed rotate, but this did not mean that it could not carry out full-power attacks, that is, "overpowered attacks". Most of the top-level monsters in the Familia are tough and thick-skinned. Even if Holy Light damage can deal about ten times the output of Abyss monsters, a single Super Light Sword Cannon cannot kill them in one hit.

Therefore, activating all three magic arrays simultaneously and launching a "charged" attack that delivers more than three times the energy output is quite important.

For a god-level monster like this, a combined attack is required. The combined energy of two Qunyu Pavilions will be amplified three to four times, and the damage will be dozens of times greater. This can easily destroy a god-level monster that has no laws and whose physical body is only slightly stronger than a peak familiar. Naturally, it is not a problem at all.

Just like what Xianyun, the current supervisor of the Super Light Sword Cannon strike group, was doing, she looked at the array masters and alchemists operating it and couldn't help but sigh: "The power is not bad, but I was only away for a few days to develop a new transport mechanism, and this kid gave this kind of array such a strange name, something about Super Light Sword Cannon? In my opinion, it should be called 'Heavenly Judgment'."

"Master Xianyun, the ship-wide communications broadcast is about to begin."

"confirm."

A young girl sitting at the control panel gently pressed a button, and soon a cold, mechanical voice echoed throughout the cabins of the Yuheng and Kaiyang ships.

"Yuheng and Kaiyang are about to begin full-power attacks. All high-power energy use is suspended except for normal daily life! Repeat, all high-power energy use is suspended!"

The next moment, the entire Yuheng began to tremble. Even Xianyun, as an immortal, could feel the terrifying power of the enormous energy gathering beneath his feet. A powerful ball of light converged directly in front of the Qunyu Pavilion, with intricate magical runes constantly being drawn.

"Triple the power!" Xianyun commanded, "Fire immediately!"

"receive!"

"receive!"

Even in daylight, a terrifying beam of light, powerful enough to pierce the darkness, tore through space and instantly 'slammed' into the already locked coordinates on the ground. That's right, it wasn't shot, it smashed.

Meanwhile, tens of kilometers to the west of the Yuheng, the Kaiyang's supersword cannon also tore through space and slammed into the same spot. The two beams of light converged into terrifying energy, instantly unleashing a terrifying explosion. A huge fireball rose up a mushroom cloud on the ground, and when the mushroom cloud dissipated, the monster had completely disappeared. It was like pencil marks erased by an eraser, completely vaporized.

"Hit confirmed! God-level monster in Sector A2-05, codenamed 'Almaut Zero Nine,' has been defeated! Repeat, defeated! Yuheng has resumed normal combat mode!"

"The ninth Almawut... Such a monster truly disgusts this immortal." Xianyun watched his disciples methodically cleaning up the mess and calmly said, "For now, we shouldn't need to attack at full power. I'll go get some food. Do you have any other requests?"

"Master, if possible, I'd like some soda... I've already finished this."

"Drinking too much of this stuff isn't good... Never mind, I'll just bring you a few cases while I'm at it." Xianyun transformed into a streak of light and flew out of the porthole. With a shake, he transformed into a crane and flew towards the Crane View war fortress. The logistics support department's catering department was located here. This was because the Crane View war fortress was indeed designed for independent and self-sufficient combat in its early days. The interior of Pidamira City was too cramped, and it needed to maintain the super main cannon on the top, so there was naturally no place to put these things.

Her authority was extremely high, so she could enter the kitchen at will. But as soon as Xianyun walked in, she saw a young girl, under the direction of a middle-aged strong man, struggling to wield a huge pot in her hand. At the same time, she would occasionally take out her hand, pick up a kitchen knife on the other side, and gently wave it at the pile of vegetables. Instantly, hundreds of cubic meters of vegetables were cut into even and neat strips and sent into the big pot under divine power.

The girl was Xiangling, and the pot was Maxius's artifact, a large pot that could hold thousands of cubic meters of material at once. It was said that he used this treasure during the Demon God War, and it served the same purpose back then—but obviously, with the help of the kitchen knife and soup ladle from the movie, it was much more powerful.

If Yunxiu were there, she would probably sigh and say that Xiangling will eventually collect all eight legendary kitchen utensils and become the head chef of Liyue...

“Send out two more units of fire elemental power, then control the third magic array here, and then you can leave the country. You can’t cultivate divine power yet, but I will help you with that.” Huang Ming smiled and stretched out his hand, pouring streams of divine power into the pot. With Xiang Ling’s injection of several streams of fire elemental power, a huge, fragrant food was thrown out of the pot.

With a flick of his finger, Huang Ming's divine power flew up and enveloped a clump of food. After gently spinning it, the food neatly fell into the large buckets on the ground.

Soon, dozens of assistant chefs rushed up and kept tearing off talismans and sticking them on the large buckets. Generally speaking, adding two types of talismans, namely "constant temperature preservation" and "sterilization and disinfection", is enough to keep the food fresh until the meal is over.

After affixing the talismans, they put the buckets of food into storage bags, which were then tied to several modified spirit racks. These were the "food delivery vehicles," which delivered the food to the racks and collected it back into the racks. This was done for all three meals every day.

"Hmm... there's still time to make another dish. Xiangling just made a Guhua fish and mutton stew, so I'll make a fragrant and tender pepper chicken..." Huang Ming chuckled as he put his pot back, casually picked up Xiangling's "Dream Real" and swung it around. A bunch of ingredients were quickly broken down and poured into the pot. With his divine power, this pot of food was obviously cooked much faster.

"Marco... Huang Ming, give this immortal two buckets, and get me some soda too." Xianyun looked at Huang Ming who was cooking and said with a smile, "It's really not easy to see your pot and your divine power again after thousands of years."

"Just let Xiangling give you whatever you want. I thought I was going to fight after being resurrected, but it turns out I'm back to my old ways." Huang Ming smiled as he looked at his old friend. With a casual flick of his other hand, an even stronger aroma wafted from the pot. The rich, spicy, and savory flavors of the food filled everyone's nostrils. Clumps of food were thrown into the large bucket just like before and quickly sealed up.

"Master Xianyun, this is for you!" Xiangling quickly packed a storage bag and handed it to Xianyun: "According to the standard configuration of a strike group, each strike group has four buckets of vegetables and four buckets of rice, each bucket is enough to feed 500 people, and there are also 800 cases of soda inside!"

Xianyun patted Xiangling on the shoulder, took the storage bag, checked it briefly, and carefully put it inside his body before smiling at the demon god and saying, "Isn't this a good thing? You won't be able to kill many demons on the front lines. Although the name isn't nice, the Super Light Sword Cannon can kill three or four hundred familiar-level demons every day, and also kill more than a dozen god-level demons every day. Its efficiency is much higher than ours. You're making the most of your resources here."

“I know, Lao He was also making talismans in the back, I understand.” Huang Ming sat down with a smile, took out a bottle of wine from his pocket, took a sip, and waved his hand, saying, “Many things that young man does seem unconventional, but he is right.”

Xianyun nodded and left.

A young man loaded the last few buckets of vegetables into storage bags on the refrigerated rack, and soon drove off carrying hundreds of cases of soda. Although the soda could also be packed in storage bags, many soldiers seemed to have some kind of "order preference," enjoying seeing these things neatly stacked together. So the logistics department often neatly stacked the soda on the refrigerated rack, which seemed to be a rather interesting psychological comfort mechanism on the battlefield...

However, this amount of soda is definitely not enough. Most of it is still in the storage bag. What's displayed outside is just "advertising" or "showpieces".

He hummed a peculiar tune as he drove the Spirit Frame out of Exit Seven of the Crane View War Fortress, heading towards the former Frost Moon Workshop on Xixi Island. That was the location of the first to eighth ground strike groups. The eight strike groups, plus logistical support, comprised over two hundred thousand people. Besides him, there was only one Spirit Frame for food delivery; two were sufficient—a benefit of the widespread use of storage bags.

"Second Strike Group... has arrived." Looking at the camp in front of him, he tapped the megaphone on the mortar and shouted, "Guys, come and get your lunch!"

"Quick-Knife Chen, what are we having for lunch today?" Several soldiers ran over with smiles, taking the storage bags full of food from his hands as they asked.

Chapter 449 A Glimmer of Hope for Compressed Firepower

"Fish and mutton stew, spicy chicken, choose whatever you want!" Quick-Knife Chen laughed, "And 800 cases of soda, grab them and get lost!"

"You stingy Chen, you're always so stingy when you sell us grilled fish, and now you're turning away customers!" Feng Yan laughed and scolded, then took out two bottles of soda from the box on the shelf, opened one, and drank it all in one gulp: "Go deliver the next one, I just talked to Brother Qiaoxi, he should be free right now."

Quick-Knife Chen nodded, casually took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and tossed it to Feng Yan. Feng Yan smiled and took it, then handed the storage bag to the adjutant next to him, who quickly distributed them.

He himself drove the Spirit Chariot towards the Third Strike Group, which was under the command of his older brother, Chen Qiaoxi. Qiaoxi was more promising than him, having joined the Thousand Rock Army early on. After the magic system was promoted, he was found to have some talent as a "warrior monk" and was quickly taken in as a disciple by a legend in the Thousand Rock Army. He quickly passed the path to the Primal God and was a commander under his master, General Zhenbei, before the war. Now he was assigned to command the Third Strike Group.

After the war began, because he was a good person and had a clean background, he was conscripted into the catering department of the logistics department. His current task is to drive the Lingmingjia back and forth every day to deliver meals and collect tableware.

The flood control battle is nearing its end. The vast majority of monsters have been compressed into a small circle. Although this has indeed increased the intensity of the attack, it is actually a good thing for those in the rear. There are fewer and fewer large numbers of monsters occasionally breaking through the gaps in the spatial array to launch sneak attacks. The frequency of the mech units in the rear is also getting lower and lower, with only one or two teams occasionally being sent out to repair the spatial array.

But he heard this morning that the devastation on the front lines was beyond imagination.

The monsters, a large number of powerful warriors, and the use of powerful war weapons, all compressed into a small circle, turned the nearly 100 square kilometers of battlefield into an extremely intense meat grinder. It is said that the ground and rocks there were continuously crushed countless times, and stepping on them felt as soft as cotton candy. In fact, for the scouts, the greatest danger at this time came from the relentless bombardment of their own side!

laugh--

laugh--

laugh--

boom!

Three beams of light pierced the sky and converged, emitting a deafening explosion. Even from hundreds of kilometers away, one could feel the terrifying power of the explosion.

That was the terrifying strike of the combined attack of three Super Light Sword Cannons. It is said that during the test, even Master Yunxiu could not withstand a single blow without using a projection. It was a powerful force capable of slaying demon gods.

He was quite frightened by this thing the first time he saw it, but he got used to it and it didn't bother him anymore. Now he can even fall asleep while the super lightsaber cannon is firing. According to his younger brother, this is what is called "getting used to it".

Occasionally, there will be situations where the Pidamira City War Fortress launches at full power, and those are things that are truly filled with the aura of destruction in every sense of the word. Of course, what the monsters destroyed by it think is another matter.

"From just now until now, there have been two full-power attacks and seventy-five normal attacks. The density has really increased quite a bit..." Quick Blade Chen quickly drove to the entrance of the Third Strike Group's camp. Qiao Xi was already waiting at the door. This is a consistent rule of the Thousand Rock Army. The commanding officer must eat and sleep with the soldiers. At times like this, he must wait at the door.

He handed the bag to his younger brother, the two exchanged a few casual words, hugged briefly, and then parted ways.

Qiaoxi looked at his older brother who had been drafted into the army and couldn't help but feel sad. He knew that his brother was actually worried about him. After their father passed away, only the two of them were left to depend on each other. His brother was worried that he would die on the battlefield, so he came to be a logistics soldier who delivered food. But neither of them said much.

Watching him drive to the next strike group, Qiaoxi silently called his adjutant over, and together they took lunch to the mess hall, inviting the soldiers to take turns eating.

He quickly finished his meal and was just about to take a nap when he felt the vibration of the spiritual terminal in his pocket. Upon seeing the avatar, he was immediately alert. It was a communication message from the joint commander-in-chief, Ruo Tuo Long Wang. It seemed that there was something important to announce.

Upon clicking, I found that Ruo Tuo Dragon King, Tian Xuan, and Yun Xiu were already standing on the other side of the screen, and the row of avatars next to them represented the commanders of more than sixty strike groups on the ground and sea, who were logging in one by one.

Seeing the last commander of the strike group come online, Ruo Tuo Dragon King nodded in satisfaction and smiled, saying, "Everyone, let me first tell you some good news. Thanks to everyone's efforts, we have successfully compressed the monsters into a radius of 5,000 meters around Star Beach. The flood discharge progress has exceeded 80%. If nothing unexpected happens, we will be able to end the war in three more days."

"However, don't be too happy yet, the last part is also the most difficult." Ruo Tuo Dragon King changed the subject: "Next, our attack plan also needs to be adjusted. Everyone, give it your all one last time and complete the flood discharge work successfully in one go!"

After he finished speaking, he looked at Yunxiu and gave the right to speak to the young man.

Yunxiu quickly stepped forward, glanced at the commanders, and said seriously, "Thanks to everyone's efforts, we have indeed compressed the monsters within a radius of five thousand meters of Star Beach. However, precisely because of the firepower and the rampage of the monsters, this area is actually no longer suitable for ground troops to fight."

"I hereby declare that all defensive lines will be deployed around Star Beach. Each strike group must continue to suppress Star Beach with fire according to my plan! If this is interrupted, monsters will inevitably escape from it, and the consequences will be unimaginable!"

"At the same time, when carrying out strike missions, we must constantly identify and report high-value monsters. The Jade Pavilion and the War Fortress will carry out the clearing mission of key targets, and will also deploy god-level powerhouses when necessary. We must complete the final stage of the strike and flood relief mission!"

"Any questions must be raised now. Any subsequent problems will result in military law and disqualification from resurrection!"

Qiaoxi saw an Inazuma character's avatar light up. He recognized it; it was Inazuma's general, Inaba Hisazo, a warrior of considerable strength.

Yunxiu nodded, and Inaba Hisazo's voice came through the communication link: "Deputy Commander, I would like to know how the guidance and logistics for sustained fire suppression will be guaranteed? If the attack continues, the position will inevitably have to be moved forward, and there may be problems with the current logistics. Also, regarding fire guidance, without scout units to locate the targets, how can we achieve precision strikes?"

“Indeed, you are a very intelligent general. This is what I am about to say.” Yunxiu waved her hand, and a young girl suddenly appeared on the scene. Even through the screen, everyone could still feel the strong lunar aura emanating from the girl: “This is the newly born Moon Goddess, Lady Columbia. Her control over Nordkalai and her spatial perception are the strongest here. She will continue to report your location to you.”

"As for logistics... there is no need to rush to the battlefield now. Most of the peak combat power of the family members can provide support with just a glance. Therefore, your logistics will be directly guaranteed by True Monarch Xiaoyue Zhuyang. He will ensure your support through spatial means."

Inaba Kyuzo nodded, and soon his communication link went silent.

Seeing that no one was asking any more questions, Yunxiu gave a few instructions and then shut down the communication link.

Looking at Columbia and the others around him, he breathed a sigh of relief: "We've finally reached the last step. As long as there are no problems with the gods, we can basically say that our flood discharge is complete. Even if we end it now, we've already met the minimum standard. The difficulty of defending it now won't be higher than that of the Dead Zone."

"Moreover, although the damage here was severe, it did not leave behind too much pollution. This land still has hope of recovery, and Nordkale has the potential to become stronger, which is also a good thing for the Moon God." Tianxuan pointed to the maps and said, "Most of the threats are in Paha Island and the northern part of Lunbo Island. Although they were almost reduced to ruins, they did not cause too much abyssal pollution. Fifteen to twenty years should be enough time to rebuild."

"It's just a pity that the casualties are quite high... The casualties have actually increased further after the battlefield was compressed."

"There's nothing we can do about it. Without compressing the battlefield, the continuous pursuit of monsters would be even more troublesome." Tianxuan shook his head and looked at a report in his hand. "So far, 350,000 people have died in battle, the Soul Nourishing Jade recovery rate is 96.3%, and fewer than 13,000 people are beyond resurrection, which is all within the expected range."

"The final estimate is that the total number of deaths should not exceed 500,000, and less than 20,000 will be irrecoverable. This cost is already very low."

"Indeed, neither the Demon God War nor the continental war triggered by Kanria five hundred years ago could end with such a small cost. Even if 350,000 people had truly died in the war, I believe the gods would have accepted it." King Ruoduo sighed before continuing, "Although the national treasury was emptied, fortunately we have the Spirit Realm and the magic system. It will definitely recover within two or three years, hmm...?"

He seemed to sense something, stood there for a moment, and then fell silent.

"Dragon King, what's wrong?"

“I feel that Nibelungen is being separated from this world… It shouldn’t be my imagination. It seems that the war on the side of the gods has reached its final stage…” King Ratna said with a strange expression, “But why does Nibelungen feel so… so peculiar to me? It’s like the stench of something that has truly become one with the abyss.”

"As the primordial Dragon King, he shouldn't be acting like this, should he?"

"Then it seems... we can only find out the answer when the gods return."

Chapter 450 Pacifying Disasters and Comforting the People

“Perhaps it’s because Nibelungen has reached a level we can’t even imagine, or perhaps he’s become a completely different being.” Yunxiu looked at Ruotu Dragon King and asked with some doubt, “Brother Tuozi, you are one of the original seven great dragon kings, what kind of person is Nibelungen?”

"To be strict, I'm not entirely sure either. The Nibelungs left this world a long time ago. The war between Phanes and our seven dragon kings, including the later War of the Burial Fire, lasted for about four or five hundred years." King Rota stroked his chin, as if remembering something: "A book written by a wise man of our dragon race should have survived. Let me think what that book said..."

"In the year when doves carry branches, the eternal throne in the heavens will arrive..."

"Yes, yes, next up is the war against the seven eternal terror kings, one of whom is me." King Rota pondered for a moment before continuing, "If I remember correctly, something was amiss in Nibelungen back then. During that war, I slumbered beneath the rock strata of Liyue, and later, the first nation appeared above those strata—that was Langkawi!"

"It seems we'll have to wait for Zi Bai to be resurrected. Even the Emperor might not know about this, back in the era before the Demon God."

"Yes... but are you confident you can revive Zibai?"

“She is actually simpler, because Zibai’s three souls are at least intact. Most problems can be solved with just one ceremony. We can hold a grand ceremony after the war…” Yunxiu thought for a moment and then spoke, finally looking at Guizhong, who had been hiding behind Tianxuan: “Sister Guizhong, this time you and the Hall of Rebirth will be in charge of the coffins of the fallen soldiers. I will also trouble you to take care of the post-war sacrificial ceremony.”

“I’m making preparations, but that little girl Hu Tao is really capable. I plan to snatch her away from the Emperor and make her my disciple…” Gui Zhong crossed his arms and looked at Yun Xiu, saying somewhat irritably, “It’s just that some people have given Hu Tao too much, so I can’t even give her a proper apprenticeship gift.”

"I think you should be fine as long as you work as a guest elder at the Hall of Rebirth for a few days. I'll go check on Hu Tao first..."
