Chapter 287 The real war
"Ah, the weather's so damn nice today! Bro, I think I have plans, so I'll head out now."
After saying that, Anil turned and left without looking back. It wasn't that he hadn't heard his little sister's words, but what did she mean by "pay back"? Pay back with his life!
He only managed to salvage a tiny bit of supplies, enough for a few days; the majority was with his older brother.
Since his older brother took the lead, the younger sister was left to him to handle. You can't blame him for being disloyal; he couldn't handle his younger sister when she got serious. The older brother felt bad.
"Hmm...that..." Amir scratched his face with his index finger, inwardly cursing Anil for being disloyal, and ordering his stubborn brain to think quickly!
Finally, his eyes flickered slightly, as if he had thought of something, and he quickly said to his younger sister...
"That research institute has an urgent matter to attend to today, so I'll be leaving now."
After saying that, he turned to leave, when he felt his clothes being grabbed.
He turned around and saw a pair of fair hands tightly gripping his clothes, large eyes brimming with tears, as if to say, "If you leave, I'll cry for you."
Amir knew, well, he couldn't leave.
His usually sturdy shoulders slumped down like frostbitten eggplants.
Now it's not a question of whether to leave or not, the best thing to do is to appease the little sister!
Regardless of the various incidents that occurred because of Xie Yiren and the others' sudden leave at the Southeast Base, the three siblings and others were involved.
After Cui Yu'an and his troops left the base, Yufei and her group also disguised themselves and left the base.
"Little Black, come out!"
Yufei and the others had traveled some distance from the base. Now that they were outside, the three of them no longer concealed their summoned beasts.
Yufei summoned Xiao Hei, Xie Yiren summoned her Meifuyi, and He Junlin summoned his Shurus.
Xie Yiren's Mefui is a plant-like humanoid summon. Its head and facial features are somewhat human-like, but where a human would have hair, its head is adorned with a cluster of rosebud-like buds. It is a creature with arms and legs that resemble rose thorns.
Xie Yiren strongly suspected that her pet Mefui evolved from a rose, as it looked too much like a rose and even had a faint fragrance.
After Xie Yiren summoned Mefui, Mefui became many times larger than when it fought in the Pet World.
Its size was almost comparable to a small mecha, measuring about 6 or 7 meters. Shay quickly climbed onto Mefuy's shoulder, and Mefuy led it away.
Similarly, Yufei's little black panther had grown many times larger this time, looking like a large black panther, and Yufei rode on its back.
The largest summon here is He Junlin's Shurus. It doesn't need to grow to gigantic size; its base is already enormous, entirely stone-like, and resembles a Stegosaurus from the early stages of Earth, except its swords have been transformed into adorable round lumps.
It looks rather clumsy and weak, but don't let its appearance fool you into thinking it's easy to bully. It's the ruler of the earth, and it could easily annihilate you in a matter of minutes.
The three of them, along with their three summoned beasts, followed Cui Yu'an's footsteps, slowly and leisurely advancing towards the battlefield.
Of course, they were always careful to maintain a certain distance from Cui Yu'an's army, and Xiao Hei also activated the concealment function.
The army at the front arrived on the battlefield without realizing that a team of three people and three summoned beasts was tracking them.
Cui Yu'an and his unit traveled day and night for a day and a night before finally arriving at the border of Manko.
Cui Yu'an was shocked by the scene as soon as he arrived. It was a scene of devastation, with severed limbs and broken bodies everywhere.
There were Zerg and... Terran.
"Yuan Liu, you've arrived!" A man about 2.3 meters tall stood there, his broad face covered with a thick, unruly beard, resembling an untrimmed thicket of wild grass. The beard stretched from his cheeks to his chin, forming a rugged line that gave him a free and untamed air. Each hair seemed to have its own life, growing either curly or straight, revealing the man's tenacious character and the marks of time.
Yuan Liu introduced Cui Yu'an in a low voice.
"This is Grand Marshal Bethelvin of the Western Base, Sector 4. You can call him General Bethelvin."
Cui Yu'an nodded, and Yuan Liu stopped paying attention to Cui Yu'an, warmly greeting Bethelvin and inquiring about the current situation.
"Looks like there was just a pretty big battle?" Everywhere Yuan Liu could see were severed limbs; corpses covered a significant portion of the land.
Occasionally, one can see land stained with crimson and emerald blood, each spot telling a story of a recent, extremely brutal war.
"Yeah! Those damned Zerg, last night they launched a brutal attack on us like they'd gone mad."
Moreover, it was a suicide attack launched by a Zerg player at level 5 or higher. I suspect something might have happened to the Zerg.
Bertlieven surveyed the battlefield, where people were already gathering the Zerg and Terran corpses. He spoke solemnly to Yuanliu.
"Vincent, Esby, and the others are waiting for you in that tent up ahead. We'll discuss the details when we get together."
As he spoke, he put his arm around Yuan Liu's shoulder, gesturing for him to come over.
Yuan Liu followed Bethelvin for a few steps, and finally remembered his apprentice, Cui Yu'an.
He turned around and said to Cui Yu'an
"Yu'an, I have something to do right now. You've been traveling with us for a day and a night, so hurry up and get some sleep to replenish your energy."
The Zerg might attack us at any moment, so we need to be well-rested and ready to fight at any time.
After saying that, he followed Bethelvin into the tent he had mentioned.
Cui Yu'an nodded. He understood that Yuan Liu valued him and wouldn't bring him along to listen to such matters involving military secrets.
After all, Yuanliu wasn't the only one involved; several other Grand Marshals from different bases were also involved.
After asking Yuan Liu's adjutant for directions, Cui Yu'an went to his quarters to sleep.
It was full of soldiers from their Southeast Second District catching up on sleep.
Cui Yu'an was awakened by a sharp alarm bell. Everyone in the tent quickly put on their gear.
They set off in neat formation, while some mech warriors quickly summoned their mechs and rushed to the battlefield.
Cui Yu'an also entered his mech and arrived at the battlefield, where he saw a dense swarm of insectoids, some flying and some running, heading towards them.
That number was several times greater than the number of Zerg he faced when he first arrived at the base. If it were someone on Earth with trypophobia, they would have been scared to death on the spot.
Under the command of their respective commanders, humanity waged war and conducted defense against the Zerg in an orderly manner.
Don't we also have to deal with the enormous worms selected from the soil?
"Rat-a-tat-tat..." Laser cannons and the Zerg's highly toxic acid relentlessly eroded the fighting strength of both sides on the battlefield.
Every time someone gets near it, there are screams of agony. This is hell on earth!
