Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era-Chapter 411 - 212: 2,000 Upper Positions (Part 3)
Compared to ordinary humans, however, there’s an unnatural bloodlust in their eyes, looking at the distant humans as if seeing delicious roast chickens.
Liang Zhan stood petrified on the spot, even with his calmness and composure, his face was now filled with despair, fear, and helplessness.
Though his face was ashen, Liang Zhan gritted his teeth and pressed the communication button on the command tower, rasping, "Open fire."
Though each soldier was pale, they executed the command out of muscle memory.
The next moment, deafening artillery fire resounded across the entire battlefield. Specially made howitzers exploded in the midst of the Hungry Ghosts, immediately sending blood and limbs flying. The Vajra Heavy Cannons unleashed incredible power, with each shell clearing all creatures within a twenty-meter radius, leaving behind craters, and even the large Hungry Ghosts, standing over ten meters tall, couldn’t withstand their power.
However, the furious artillery fire couldn’t affect the upper Hungry Ghosts hovering in the air. The high-speed shrapnel scraped against their skin, producing sharp metallic clashing sounds before bouncing off. They looked down at the humans below with sarcastic and mocking expressions, full of human-like superiority.
This scene left everyone in utter despair, and some soldiers even started to flee.
It wasn’t because of Liang Zhan’s lack of strict discipline usually, but under the oppression of so many upper-level Beings, the despair could directly shatter one’s mind. When facing such extreme terror, those with weak will would rather take their own lives than face it.
"General, General, what do we do?"
From the communicator, a shivering voice of a subordinate vice-general came through.
"Let everyone hold their ground. Fleeing now will only lead to a quicker death. Don’t worry about the cooling period of the gun barrels, push the artillery to the fullest, and relay to the main city as fast as possible, requesting the Reincarnated Saint Monk..."
"Deploy the Celestial Dragon to completely destroy the Giant’s Path."
Liang Zhan’s weary voice rang out, and as he finished speaking, a deathly silence descended on the other side.
The vice-general knew what this meant. Even if the Celestial Dragon managed to destroy the Giant’s Path, those stationed here would undoubtedly be buried with it.
But at this moment, they had no other choice.
Liang Zhan turned back to Chu Xiu: "My lord, you should evacuate quickly too. If possible, please take my adjutant on your mount for a while."
"The sooner the information here is conveyed, the better the chance to stop this disaster."
Liang Zhan’s voice was urgent. By this time, he had long forgotten about Chu Xiu dealing with the tide of Hungry Ghosts alone.
In front of such a massive horde of Hungry Ghosts, even the strongest humans appeared insignificant. Not to mention Chu Xiu, even the Reincarnated Saint Monk, no, even a hundred of them, couldn’t withstand it!
But just as he turned back anxiously, he was slightly stunned.
Because, standing beside him, Chu Xiu showed no trace of fear on his face. Instead, he was curiously scrutinizing the tide of Hungry Ghosts in the distance, seemingly searching for something.
What Liang Zhan didn’t know was that in the ten seconds in which he gave military orders, Chu Xiu had scanned all two thousand upper Hungry Ghosts, fully assessing the enemy’s strength.
"Two thousand upper Hungry Ghosts, among them over a hundred have reached General Tier strength, and even several King Tier."
"This barely fits the difficulty of a Doomsday level scenario!"
Knowing this in his heart, Chu Xiu gazed afar into the center of the sky, at the extremely handsome figure surrounded by upper Hungry Ghosts, seemingly the Hungry Ghost Leader. Rather than fear, excitement flashed in his eyes:
"With so many monsters, wonder how much good stuff will drop."
"Good, good stuff?"
Liang Zhan was completely baffled upon hearing this.
Chu Xiu glanced at him indifferently, without replying.
The next moment, under Liang Zhan’s incredulous gaze, he took a step forward.
In an instant, a dazzling golden light enveloped the entire camp.
