The Cockroach-like Girl Is My Beast-Chapter 566 - 455: The Great Xia Counteroffensive
It flickers from time to time, expanding into an unstable ripple-like blur, with scenes of Blue Star flashing by, proving the connection to the other side of the world.
Around the giant construct, Spirit Masters and Spirit Beasts from the Seventh Army of Great Xia have managed all types of supplies ready for teleportation from the other side, or are ready to welcome a new batch of warriors.
In fact, its original activation frequency was not that high.
However, the recent aggressive and fierce attacks from the Demon Race have necessitated greater support.
At the other end of the plain, essentially the frontline of the battlefield, a tide of demons, accompanied by demonic qi so thick it obscures the sky, are impacting the massive Spirit Rune Array fortifications established by the Spirit Masters.
The power of the Spirit Rune Array is at its peak, with formidable, multi-colored flames shooting skyward, fearlessly contending with the demonic qi, reducing ordinary Low Tier demons to ashes upon impact.
But there are also gruesome Middle Tier demons attacking from afar with demonic qi.
Fortunately, the strong among the Spirit Masters will also take the initiative, roaming the battlefield to slay those threatening demons.
Drawing the line with the gigantic Spirit Rune Array, both armies face off, consuming each other's strength like a meat grinder.
This period has seen the fortifications in an extremely tense state.
"Beast guarding the defense of No. 3 Array Point JiaWu has been wounded and needs replacement!"
"No. 7 Array Point DingBing's energy storage structure is damaged, function paused; repairs expected in seventeen minutes, temporarily reallocating Ether flow to DingJia, DingYi, DingGui modules!"
"Three new wounded, please provide timely treatment!"
Raising one's head from this land occasionally reveals destructive torrents and the strange colors brought by domains flickering in the dim, indistinct clouds, sometimes causing broken limbs and fragments to fall.
Those are the flying demons shattered by the aftermath of the clashes between True Men stationed here and Demon Kings.
This is almost everyday routine on the Outer Battlefield.
It is well-known.
Outside the Boundary Wall of Blue Star lies the Outer Battlefield, the first barrier protecting Blue Star's native land.
Or rather... the overlapped shadow simultaneously reflecting Blue Star.
Of course, it's not a simple copy.
In fact, the terrain and ecosystem of the Outer Battlefield do not simply replicate Blue Star's appearance, but it does follow a wondrous mapping relationship, corresponding inch by inch to Blue Star's internal coordinates.
This mapping is not simply based on territory size but involves more complex factors like life density, civilization's prosperity level, the number of stationed formidable beings, and so forth.
This means those vast uninhabited areas on Blue Star map to very small, hard-to-find, and less invasible zones by the Demon Race, whereas populous, powerful countries must allocate more combat power to defense in the Outer Battlefield. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺
To some extent, this is beneficial.
The nations and forces of Blue Star only need to resist the Demon Race's main invasion and aggression in their homeland and the corresponding sectors of the Outer Battlefield, effectively sustaining against the Demon Race without much need to worry about demons emerging unpredictably after invading Blue Star from uninhabited areas.
Due to the effect of the Star Track, the weak spots in the Boundary Wall within Great Xia's territory even converge, becoming exceptionally suitable locations for constructing World-Transcending Gates, naturally turning into areas the demons must conquer.
Thus, as long as Great Xia's powerful beings guard the World-Transcending Gates built at the weakest spots, without special means or utilizing the chance of a Secret Realm to breach the Boundary Wall, it would be exceedingly difficult for demons to find other methods to invade Great Xia's land on Blue Star.
However, this can easily lead to problems.
The more concentrated the demons' attack, the denser the demonic qi.
While the Ether concentration in the Outer Battlefield is indeed not low, the demonic qi is also inexhaustible.
Even if the physical onslaught of the demons is resisted, the demonic qi remains a significant hazard.
This is why the majority of those above seventy or eighty level on Blue Star need to be stationed on this outer interface of Blue Star, dedicating much strength to guarding the territory.
Only Seven-Star powerhouses, or even those above eighty level, as incarnations of rules, akin to "concept gods" in other worlds, can serve as a second line of defense on the rule level, deterring those similarly High Tier Demon Kings, Demon Gods, and blocking the invasion of demonic qi.
Otherwise... the weak parts of the Boundary Wall would be further weakened by demonic qi until they are easily breached.
At this moment.
"Damn, these demon bastards have gone insane!"
In a temporary medical room five kilometers from the front line, a burly colonel, his entire body wrapped in bandages, roars angrily: "In fifty years of service, I've never seen them this crazy!"
His partner, a massive dog over twenty meters long, with sleek fur resembling a cloud of fire, also wrapped like a mummy yet still resembling a small mountain even when lying down, joins in with an affirming howl: "Woof! Woof woof woof!"
Beside them, a sweet-looking female medical Spirit Master with pink hair tied into two loops, alongside her companion, a cute pink stuffed doll, release two pink rays as thick as fingers to heal them, sighing with her eyes slightly narrowed.
"Colonel Qi, please don't get too agitated, the demonic qi invasion hasn't been completely expelled yet."
But evidently, he doesn't calm down, continuously muttering: "Miss Qiao, isn't it absurd?"
"Those dog-gone Low Tier demons persist in charging with a 1300 to 1 casualty rate, and the Middle and High Tier ones are crazy too. I've cut down three Tier Five demons this month, charging, charging, damn it all..."
