Chapter 1696: Chapter 1696
1696: Chapter 1692: The Restless Reinforcements 1696: Chapter 1692: The Restless Reinforcements Unexpected, yet rational, the worst-case scenario did not materialize…
Within the following five days, although Dragon Moon Island was subjected to repeated attacks, it ultimately managed to hold on.
During this process, Lu Ping’an couldn’t even remember how many times he used Postponed Payment.
This ability to “instantly heal more than eighty to ninety percent of injuries,” when applied to a super large island, was simply defying the heavens.
“…..Next month, probably beyond salvation.”
But clearly, the “injuries” accumulated could hardly be mended by next month.
Lu Ping’an didn’t say much more, since this was Elder Liu’s resolution, since this was a war to protect the entire world, all races, indeed there wasn’t much to say.
Lu Ping’an received an unexpected task: to engage in diplomatic negotiations.
“….Thank you for your country’s support; these are some of the supplies and Tools we’re in need of, and we would be even more grateful if you could help us with these as well.”
The rough Eastern Country dialect, accompanied by a quite humble attitude, came from a delegation from a middle-sized country in Eastern Europe.
War has reached such an extent that it has turned into a great counteroffensive at the “human” level.
Almost a week into the conflict, the Eastern Country hasn’t fallen, and the West is still fighting…
As long as they haven’t lost and haven’t collapsed, it exceeds the expectations of the original Observers.
Quite naturally, those countries that had some spare strength also sent reinforcements.
This actually exceeded expectations…
The situation in each country is quite dire.
The Exotic Realm Invaders’ “lord system” has them very interested in picking on the weak; small countries have become the first target.
Among those small and medium-sized countries, for some, their difficulties are not just about hard times, but whether they could guard their territory at all; those who could are indeed powerful kingdoms.
Over two hundred countries had been recognized before, but after these three years, the total number might just be under a hundred, and the population has decreased by at least twenty percent.
Countries along the coastline have suffered relentless Invasions – enduring, struggling, the tragic War never ceased…..
Small countries are the first to perish, some turned into Hunting Grounds and wilderness, others merged directly into the surrounding larger countries.
“Some things must be stated upfront: if you intend to settle here, aside from your personnel reports, it is more imperative that you earnestly carry out our arrangements…”
The Official didn’t mince words and directly stated their demands.
If you come to us for asylum, hoping to join the fight, you must duly obey our commands.
The other side responded decisively, but Lu Ping’an, the Observer, could clearly see they were truly struggling with hesitation.
These warriors from Eastern Europe chose to join the East instead of the West, which was surprising, and Lu Ping’an understood—and didn’t understand—their hesitation.
“They are worried about being used as cannon fodder, right?
Why not directly turn to those guys in the West, especially since they are closer to Huaqi?”
Lu Ping’an was curious and outright asked.
“…With us, there’s a chance they become cannon fodder, but if they really went there, they would definitely be cannon fodder.”
Obviously, this senior Official in charge of receiving foreign guests understood more about the Western affairs.
Considering the internal Western affairs, mutual deception has probably long ceased to be an adequate description.
Forget about rescuing and supporting allies, it’s enough to be thankful that some great powers don’t force you into a charge at bayonet-point.
“How will we use them?”
“Let the General Staff coordinate…
They will likely be treated somewhat preferentially, after all, their will to fight and reliability is somewhat questionable.”
Even though those who came were Middle-High Tier Professionals, the mortal receptionist still didn’t give much face.
Now, a portion of the independent housing area has been given to them, and resources have been sufficiently provided.
However, in reality, their performance falls below their capabilities.
Today, with the tension that’s being unveiled, the title “The First Human Counterattack/The Third World War” has been firmly established.
Most countries that can still hold the line have dispatched some reinforcements…
even if regular troops cannot make it, mobilizing some middle-high tier combat power is doable.
Their “participation” is quite important.
Part of the reason is that most people realize this may be the only chance to increase the odds of winning by even a little bit, which is good.
More importantly, if we really win…
the countries that do not participate in the war may well fall directly into being low-class countries.
As for such reinforcements, the effects they can have vary greatly.
This particular team in front of us, consisting of just over thirty people, is indeed elite, but there’s only one Rule-level individual leading them…
Lu Ping’an didn’t want to say anything, but he guessed that he alone could lead them to annihilation.
“…It’s that bunch of chaotic forces that have become the main force.”
Some kingdoms dispatch Death Squads for the sake of glory, but there are also entities that truly hope to get through this crisis…
but the stakes they’ve put all in make people very uneasy.
The most recent ones are various Evil God Churches and their affiliated organizational forces.
There is some difference from the “unregistered Evil Gods” in the Eastern Country.
Most of those guys are truly malevolent Evil Gods, many of them are listed in terrorist organizations, and there are even some who are considered public enemies of humanity.
But they are indeed very strong and adept at slaughter.
“Tsk, fighting the Octopus Tribe has really turned into a grand alliance of good and evil…
Among these people, some are fighting for the interests of their races…
In a sense, those who do evil to the extreme truly understand that if the world of humanity is completely fallen, they, as humans, will be directly dragged into hell.
Another part is lured over by interests.
“…After this war, our world is probably going to have many more Deities.”
“In fact, the Earth has seen the rise of seven Deities in this one week.”
“Ha, these people are really…
Lu Ping’an is not surprised at all, when the world is in crisis, It has an instinct to catalyze more Deities, and those who fight for it often easily gain divine favor.
Not to mention others, Lu Ping’an himself has gained a lot during this period, growing every day as if he had activated some sort of cheat code.
If they survive this ordeal, the opportunity for Ascension that was not so likely before will be produced in large quantities.
This time, it may also be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for them.
“…I’ll go have another look.”
“Thank you for the trouble.”
Once again, his gaze swept over a few key targets…
Some existences, if they appeared in the Eastern Country, would be executed ten times over, but now, because they are willing to fight for humanity, many people turn a blind eye.
However, it’s impossible not to have any defenses at all.
Lu Ping’an’s “Eye of Truth” is a very effective means of surveillance.
In fact, allowing them on board is also because their reputations are not too terrible…
If a bunch of bastards appeared, regardless of the context, people with blood feuds would surely shoot them down directly.
These Evil God Churches have also joined the battle, but most are lingering overseas, conducting various intercept missions.
“They have some use at least, intercepting reinforcements from the opponent.”
And the situation has developed to this state also because both sides have entered a strategic stage of attrition.
Although the reinforcements are worried about becoming cannon fodder…
when entities from two worlds engage in a war of attrition, who isn’t cannon fodder?
