Chapter 1439: Chapter 1439

1439: Chapter 1435: Outpost Battle 1439: Chapter 1435: Outpost Battle Does slaughter need a reason?

Perhaps individual combat might, but for the death struggle between ethnic groups, perhaps merely encountering each other is enough…

Explosions resounded in all directions simultaneously, and when warriors truly stepped onto the battlefield, it was actually quite hard to distinguish directions.

The sound of explosions, battle cries, and screams—combined with bursting and shockwaves—easily plunged the sense of direction of ordinary people into chaos.

With the ground shaking, a serpentine giant insect violently burrowed out from beneath the earth.

Its purposeless gaping maw opened wide, and as it emerged, its wide-open jaws brought about a massacre, crunching and splattering limbs and severed arms.

And from the pit it had dug out came a multitude of medium and small battle insects.

Some were like wild dogs, madly biting at the surrounding mortals; others like war elephants, forcefully tearing apart the battle lines that tried to encircle them.

Despite being an insect swarm, the diversity of their troop types and their well-coordinated tactics were apparent.

Spores thrown from the sky smashed onto the ground, cracking open just in time to bring air combat support from the large bee insects.

Precision, quickness—a wild and unbridled onslaught full of meticulous micromanagement broke through battle lines with a tactic that bloomed from the center, easily tearing apart defense after defense.

As the legions of mortals were still surprised by how their enemies could appear behind them, their formations and sense of direction were scrambled by the chaotic battle conditions, and they would face the insect swarm’s slaughter.

On the material battlegrounds, atop the death struggles of mortal warriors, the insect swarm with its collective consciousness held an overwhelming advantage.

They knew neither fear nor hesitation, and with shared intelligence and perception, they were always precisely executing their strategic tasks.

On the premise that the individual combat power differences were not vast, their “battlefield efficiency” advantage was crushing…

A blood-red war flag fluttered in the storm, and the golden female Knight charged toward the pit like an arrow unleashed.

The swinging war flag transformed into a crescent-shaped slash, and the giant insect didn’t even have time to let out a scream before its enormous head slowly slid off.

It was dead—an obviously high-level behemoth was instantly finished off.

The giant torso visibly shrank before one’s eyes…

this was not a dying method natural to the Bug Clan, and the increasingly thick blood aura around the female Knight revealed everything.

As the war flag suddenly plummeted into the ground, a blood-red halo visibly unfolded at the moment it pierced the earth.

“Friendlies” touched by it immediately lost their fear and unease, their muscles visibly swelling and becoming enhanced, and they were the first to slaughter those vile insects.

Grand Marshal Lulu’s primary path was also that of a battlefield commander…

But at the eighth-tier level, the paths of “battlefield agitator” and “battlefield controller” undoubtedly began to merge.

A trait similar to the Black Knight’s Life Drain immediately turned into a battlefield buff, not only dispelling the fear and unease of those affected but also adding traits like “Fervor,” “Low-level Resistance,” and “Strength Buff”…

And when a warrior cleaved through a “dog insect,” the fallen body instantly turned into a desiccated corpse, while the warrior’s wounds healed at a visibly rapid pace.

When the “Marshal” this chess piece was on the field, it wasn’t just about having an extra super soldier…

but instead, all soldiers became super soldiers.

The practicability of Life Drain, a “high-level ability (exclusive to the Life system),” on the battlefield, need not be further discussed; this group of tireless super soldiers, who knew no fear and ignored their pains, quickly annihilated the attackers completely.

And when the War Flag waved again, some of the “corpses” on the ground actually stood back up…

Different from Lu Ping’an’s control over the undead, this time the shared Life Force truly brought the wounded back from the brink of death.

The formidable military might of the Insect Swarm and perfect control were firmly blocked by an “existence.”

It wasn’t for lack of trying by the high-level combat insects to attempt Beheading…

but the severed heads they left behind only became nourishment for this vast army.

The War Flag that waved ahead of time now exuded a silver sheen.

The frontline warriors once again donned a layer of “armor,” and under the protection of the ethereal silver light, what should have been fatal claws and fangs became nothing more than the damage from small knives and punches.

When the healing outpaced the damage, what could possibly stand in the way of an unyielding Legion?

This time, the Legion of mortals once again turned the tide of the battle, overwhelmingly crushing the Infinite beast swarm.

“…Is this what a real ‘Battlefield commander’ is?

Or am I just too low-level?”

Observing the “buff effect” that spanned several kilometers, Lu wondered if he was a fake Sixth-tier Soldier.

But in some ways, the Black Knights skilled in ravaging the battlefield indeed lack the complete capabilities of a real battlefield commander…

They excel in slaughter, regardless of whether it’s their side or the enemy’s, far less trustworthy than the Grand Marshal before them.

In fact, when the Black Knight General appeared, the first to desert and flee were often their own side, because if they didn’t run, there was a good chance they would end up as cannon fodder.

“No, this too is an anomaly.”

Big Cat, once an eighth-tier Soldier, denied this.

The “Soldier” before her had also opened her eyes…

This level of enhancement was truly abnormal.

In her perception, the entire army was now fully linked to Lulu, with the high-grade Life Sharing even extending to sharing Power…

To try and kill Lulu amidst the Legion meant facing a monster that had shared the strength of all the warriors, and as long as the Legion stood, she possessed a strong Undying-nature.

“On the battlefield, she is Undead.

To kill her, one would have to do it off the battlefield…

I’m beginning to understand why the High level of the Long Hand Clan are so wary of her.”

Sometimes, being despised by others isn’t because you’ve wronged them, but merely because your very existence poses a sufficient threat to them.

“No need to watch anymore, it’s over.”

Lu Ping’an’s Eye of Truth informed him that the Rule-level Magic Insect which had been hovering on the edge of the battlefield had, after much hesitation, chosen to retreat.

The Insect Swarm did not attempt to flee; in their calculations, it didn’t make sense to…

Biomatter could easily create more fodder, and rather than being meaninglessly slaughtered in flight, they preferred to fight for their lives to exchange for something more.

All the combat insects began frantically trying to “exchange” with the surrounding enemies, but under Lulu’s enhancements, their efforts were futile.

Seeing Lulu return, Lu Ping’an relaxed his “attention.”

His gaze had in fact always been locked on a large flying insect seven kilometers from the battlefield…

The creature’s power level was clearly that of an “Overlord.”

Lu’s very presence was a threat and an exchange.

If the enemy really dares to enter the fray?

With Lulu’s assistance, Lu Ping’an truly could have captured that monster.

But evidently, all these insect Legion forces combined weren’t worth one leg hair of that Overlord, which from beginning to end was just “observing.”

“Tch, kind of disgusting…”

Finally, the “Great Hornet” flew away, but everyone knew that this was just the beginning.
