Chapter 1684: Chapter 1684

1684: Chapter 1680: Battle Results 1684: Chapter 1680: Battle Results The counteroffensive in Mountainous Kingdom’s war eventually lasted for six days, approximately 160 hours.

But in reality, the tense confrontations only lasted for about three days and fifty hours; the rest was just garbage time from all sides.

Inside fortresses, by the seaside, in the plains, battles were raging everywhere, but in truth, these were encirclement battles after the main forces had been defeated.

The real decisive battle took place during those first fifty hours when the Easterners were still engaged in the fight.

However, when the results came out, they shocked all the Informed-persons…

“….A great victory, a great victory!!”

“A huge win on the Mountainous battlefield!

Our South Island Military Region achieved a massive victory!

Three Quasi-Gods were slain, and over three hundred thousand invaders were either rounded up or driven out!!”

When the news reached home, all TV stations, newspapers, radios, and online media went into a frenzy.

This was the first major victory in three years during which only bad news kept coming.

At once, the entire Kingdom was boiling with excitement.

Since the onset of the Plane War, a steady flow of negative news had arrived, affecting everyone’s life negatively.

Despite the Official efforts to regulate the situation, inflation and high prices caused by the war were inevitable; although the Military-Industrial complex worked hard to absorb more talent, given the massive scale of the Eastern Country, reliance solely on internal circulation meant that many areas suffered from overproduction while many industries faced underproduction.

Everyone knew that this could not be blamed on the Easterners, nor could it be blamed on society…

well, considering the absurdity without any limits, at least the majority of people could understand the situation.

Nevertheless, they would definitely ask, not just the Officials but also themselves…

“How much longer do we have to endure such stifling times…”

Everyone is struggling; ordinary people are struggling with low wages and high prices, suffering on just-about-livable job positions, anxious about unemployment.

Industries are desperately transitioning to military production, yet they have to “sell” their goods cheaply, with profits barely enough for survival.

Frontline warriors are trading blood for training and life for power – nearly a norm…

Everyone is in discomfort, everyone is enduring…

“….How much longer before we can start to counterattack?”

For ordinary people, this news came without any warning.

A tremendous victory!”

The “street newsboys,” supposed to have vanished from history, were Running through the alleys and streets of the Eastern Country, distributing flyers that bore news filled with joy in every word.

The counterattack appeared silently and suddenly, yet just the first battle brought about a tremendous victory.

“Mountainous Kingdom has been liberated, and our southern states long-threatened have gained safety!”

“A large number of invaders have been driven back to sea, and as many as three of the so-called ‘Undying’ Quasi-Gods have fallen!

Six Overlord Level Life forms were slain!

Our losses were only one Quasi-God and two eighth-order!”

Such a record of battle achievements can no longer be described as glorious; it could even be called a miracle.

Quasi-Gods are exceedingly difficult to annihilate.

Hearing that three of them fell directly, along with the death of six eighth-tier, meant that the top combat power of certain areas was wiped out…

many people laughed upon hearing it, yet they didn’t take it seriously.

“….The fallen include the ninth-order Naga, Eight-Armed Lord ‘Snake King World Devourer’, the Giant God Soldier ‘Corrupted Titan Expectation’, and the Fishman Leader ‘Storm Agitator’…”

It wasn’t until the entire list of battle achievements was released.

This is no longer the era of wartime information control from World War II, where only the paper media could convey Official news – like a certain country during WWII constantly sinking, reviving carriers and killing a General over and over…

If they really “revived”, that would be a devastating blow to the credibility of official information sources and the morale of all parties involved.

Therefore, there is a high probability that this is indeed true.

“Really, three Quasi-Gods were slain?

How was this achieved?”

Even the official staff departments were inquiring about news from the frontline.

This has completely exceeded expectations…

The best prediction previously was that the warriors, even if they fought desperately like madmen, could only manage to drive the enemy back into the ocean and killing one or two Overlords was already the limit.

However, in reality, one key name was hidden yet accessed by a few with top-level authority.

“‘King of Mercy’ Lu Ping’an…..”

This time, even Lu Ping’an himself, the concerned party, was somewhat bewildered.

He originally thought his ability could only interfere with medium and low-level combat power, but he never expected this war to have some unexpected turn.

“The death of ‘Grey King’ Your Excellency, truly, no one saw it coming…”

The death of our Quasi-God fighter was entirely unexpected by everyone.

But in fact, her manner of death was also quite special.

Seeing their imminent defeat, the invaders’ top combat power was unwilling to stop there; they at least wanted to bring back some spoils of war to show for it.

Three Quasi-Gods picked out some unlucky targets…

the targets that could be locked on at that time were at least of eighth-tier.

On the spot, four eighth-tier were “killed,” directly sent back to respawn.

In passing, it should be mentioned…

Lu Ping’an was the first to “die”; his ability was too conspicuous on the battlefield, making him the primary target of the initial retaliation.

Eighth-tier Lu Ping’an was very strong, but against three Quasi-Gods with Overlord Level overwhelming attack, he didn’t last long before he was sent back to respawn as well.

And due to his unique mechanism, as long as he has enough Life-Points, he can resurrect faster than anyone else.

However, some things become quite troublesome after his death.

He set himself up to “Self-Destruct”… Upon his death, the “Self-Awakening” virus would erode everything around, causing his body to rampage while also posing a certain level of danger to those who killed him.

This level of “Death Rattle” is common among Life systems.

The problem, however, was that the chaos virus created after his death snagged some high-tier combat power, resulting in a chaotic scene.

The Slaughterer, with their extremely experienced instincts, seized that opportunity to completely kill an eighth-tier human, although with some sacrifices…

But the problem lies in the fact that the utter downfall of that eighth-tier was also within the “rules” set by Lu Ping’an.

He himself wasn’t particularly strong among eighth-tiers, being the weakest rank from fighting and injuries, so his complete death at the hands of the enemy’s Elite forces was normal, but he had a daughter, the “Grey King,” stronger than him.

So, those who had accepted the contract, experienced the “inheritance” of Life Force directly happening.

The enormous inheritance of that eighth-tier directly poured into the Grey King, herself a first-rank ninth-order combat power…

She exploded with power.

Thus, Mortals witnessed what it meant to have “Transcendence over Quasi-God” combat power.

The crazy high-tier battlefield directly created a new canal…

cutting right through the middle of the Mountainous Kingdom, separating the north and south of the Mountainous country, reaching both sides of the battlefield.

The Quasi-God who perfectly inherited her father’s powerful life-force, erupted with tremendous power, and with the aid of other Quasi-Gods, directly annihilated two of the three Quasi-Gods…

As a price, she also completely lost control.

Transcending Quasi-God yet unable to Ascend, she became a God-level Demon, and before completely self-destructing out of control, she walked into the sea.

Now, the news reports only mention her combat achievements, not her “disappearance.”

Heaven knows what happened at sea; let’s hope those Fishmen are all safe and sound.

Lu Ping’an didn’t witness this scene…

the fastest to die, he was still in the process of adjusting after respawning.

But, without his ability, it’s likely the end result would have been just one or two Overlords killed and the other advanced combat forces retreating.

But I was clearly the first to exit the battlefield…” Lu Ping’an was somewhat baffled himself.
