Chapter 1616: Chapter 1616
1616: Chapter 1612: The Beginning of the Disaster 1616: Chapter 1612: The Beginning of the Disaster Life and death, Reincarnation never stops.
The treasured lives in an Era of Peace, where painful diseases can evoke widespread sympathy, have now vanished beyond return…
Even the dead bodies lying on the roads are worthless during wartime.
Closing his eyes, he also opens the Eye of Truth; within Lu Ping’an’s perception, countless lives are lost at every moment, and young people filled with hope and future are devoured by the sea.
Having just arrived at Sakura Island, he witnessed a city being engulfed by flames and sinking into ruin.
“Main battleships engage the enemy, dispatch a portion of the escort ships for rescue…
No.7 probably hasn’t been armed yet, have it serve as a refuge for the displaced, and the logistics team should allocate some resources for rescue.”
As a Commander, Lu Ping’an wasn’t mature, but the bloodshed he had experienced sufficed, his resume in Plane War wouldn’t be considered insignificant even among the Big Shots…
Homegrown old stagers generally lack experience in grand-scale events.
Lu Ping’an issued rescue and slaughter missions with cold indifference and calm, and mid-tier Commanders would refine the details.
As the top Commander, as long as he doesn’t commit any major strategic decision mistakes, detailed deployment will be professionally adjusted by the staff, with execution level adjustments supported by others.
In fact, the fleet has its own specialized Command center, and Lu Ping’an, as “Supreme Commander,” mainly utilized his “Soldier” abilities.
Given the current situation, Lu Ping’an’s commands were recognized and executed by professionals.
Each warship began its separate journey, conducting rescue and clearance tasks simultaneously.
Sakura Island is vast; a single fleet can’t defend it all, facing the current situation, they can only do their best.
This is the port district of Hengyu City, also the designated berthing area for the Third Fleet.
But watching the sea water that had spread to the unloading area and the Flood that had unmistakably poured into the city district, it was clear the defenses were breached…
Lu Ping’an sensed a multitude of Marine life in the city’s waters, reminding him of that unredeemable Secret Realm.
The same city soaked in Flood, the same rainy day, the same Octopus.
“…It’s a bit troublesome.”
This planet is not Mercury 42…
Terrestrial life naturally at a disadvantage when ambushed by marine life, especially when facing the ocean Ethnic group with Divine Level Creatures.
Battling with the Octopus Tribe means facing various tides and Floods.
“Has this country been hit by a tsunami and waves?”
Just two glances at the city, and the latest satellite blueprint in hand, Lu Ping’an knew what this Island Country was facing.
Amidst the cruel bloodshed, the suddenly rising sea water formed tsunamis, Storms and tides, sweeping in from the seashore, riverside, and even underground wells…
Accompanying the currents were not only various Sea Beasts but also Intelligent Race Slaughterers.
In this aspect, the Fishman Priests of the Octopus Race are the most troublesome opponents, priests adept at summoning Storms and tides are the mortal enemies of Terrestrial races.
The previous land battles were naturally dispersed by the Flood…
Now the satellite blueprint shows the water surface of the Island Country has risen significantly, and several artificial rivers have directly divided the country’s main islands, forming multiple Marine legions with these rivers at their Core.
Undoubtedly, this is the worst battlefield where this already scattered large nation has been divided by these rivers and canals into numerous humid, flood-stricken War Zones, with residents and Terrestrial warriors each fighting for themselves.
“Should I say it’s not the worst?
At least the islands didn’t sink into the sea.” The scenes from the movies didn’t play out; perhaps the deities of the Exotic Realm don’t have that Authority.
“…This is Hengyu Port Control Tower, please help…
help us deal with the monster blocking the exit.”
The radio transmitted an unskilled Eastern Country dialect, causing Lu Ping’an to be taken aback.
He opened the Eye of Truth, locking onto the specified target.
“A Nine-Headed Dragon?”
Blocking the exit was a massive “small mountain”.
Its twisted Dragon Heads easily numbered in the double digits, far more powerful than the one Lu Ping’an had dealt with before, and this kind of life form naturally had the power to command water flows.
Blocking there, the sea water was directly obstructed, and on those serpentine Dragon Heads, there was only a single eye each, emitting a venomous light.
“It’s a ‘Flood Multi-Horned Dragon’.”
The professional staff brought out a more detailed report, such Multi-Headed Dragons are naturally King-level Life, and this one likely evolved several times.
On its snake heads, some scales were vaguely shaped like crowns, a characteristic of “Authority,” indicating that it must be a life form of the Overlord level or above.
And Lu Ping’an saw in the blockaded port, there were still some fleets.
On the land of the port, some soldiers were resisting…
Lu Ping’an even saw a group of warriors wearing ancient armor, likely the local Extraordinaries.
Clearly, the city had not fallen completely.
The local guards, along with some citizens, tried to escape by boat, only to be blocked at the port by that huge creature.
They must have been overjoyed to see the fleet from the Eastern Country.
Explosions continued, but this time, the desperate people received hope.
The giant beast blocking the port was forced to retreat…
and even more lethal, the top combat powers leaped towards it.
The Third Fleet’s warships spread out along the coastline, bombarding the sea beasts and Fishmen in the city…
but there was not much they could do, as there probably were no survivors left.
Lu Ping’an was also a bit numb, according to the original plan, he was supposed to resupply and make adjustments in this port city before going to support the frontline battlefield.
But now, it wasn’t just a problem of this city falling…
but the entire island country had turned into a chaotic battlefield, where the frontline was everywhere.
Now, which frontline should his side head to?
“Let it be, Staff Headquarters!”
Lu Ping’an decided to hold his position, first connect with the other fleets to inquire about the situation.
The satellites of his nation should soon deliver new military orders…
“Let’s take control of this city first…
The shipyard and those supply warehouses are still useful.”
Even if it’s in ruins, it can still serve as a logistics base, especially since there are still people and city buildings here.
“Tell the Sakura Islanders not to be too hasty in fleeing for their lives…
we will help them take control of this city.”
After a pause, Lu Ping’an made his decision.
“Let Vice Admiral Su take over the command, I will head to the frontline for a bit, you know my abilities…
tell me where there are the most survivors.”
Not everyone could be saved, in fact, in this level of destruction, managing to evacuate 10% would be quite good; fearfully, only a few thousand might survive…
and most people didn’t die in the first wave; they mostly hid in their rooms trembling, then got dragged out one by one and killed by the invaders.
Since the city hadn’t been attacked for too long, those people should still be alive.
So, the citizens of that day encountered an “Angel.”
Lu Ping’an was certainly not the only high-tier professional joining the battlefield, swinging the power of slaughter, he couldn’t even rank in the top five, but where he touched, became the biggest “Peace District.”
“Come on out, I’m here to rescue you…”
Accompanying the broadcast was that calm male voice.
Blazing flames became wings, floating above the tide was a man with Blind Eyes.
He attracted all eyes like the morning sun, yet he also radiated light and warmth.
Where the “Angel” went, a pale halo spread, and both killing and pain vanished instantaneously; where he passed, countless disaster victims followed with tears.
The places he slowly floated over, the Flood turned into a wooden Forest Land, the falling rain in the sky evaporated, sunshine and rainbows followed him.
This was undeniably a Miracle…
a forest land reminiscent of paradise unexpectedly emerged on the battlefield.
At that moment, those who had lost hope left their shelters.
For them, that might be the ray of hope in a desperate situation.
But for Lu Ping’an, this was just part of his recent routine, just one of the countless rescues, he had grown accustomed to playing this role…
It was the most efficient method of rescue, making oneself an unforgettable core to the saved, even if it meant feeling a bit hot himself.
