Chapter 745: Chapter 745

745: Chapter 731: The Born God of Death 745: Chapter 731: The Born God of Death “…The situation at the frontline is better than expected, much better.”

Looking at the latest battle report, most people in the command room were full of joy, but Lu Ping’an frowned.

Isn’t the smooth progress of the battlefield a good thing?

Indeed it is, but it’s beyond expectations, and according to Lu Ping’an’s past experience, it means that there’s something fishy and wrong.

“…In the last 24 hours, how many times have those department heads been to the frontline?”

“Deputy Minister Li Qiwei of the Production Department appeared once, fought for two minutes, killed two of our men, and retreated upon meeting our Hunting Team …

Our people reported that he didn’t seem to be too serious.”

“Benjamin, the head of the Security Department, came up twice and was stopped by us.

The bald female director of the Research Department did not come up.

A few directors from the Hunter Department were very aggressive and even sacrificed one…

To be honest, they are a bit insincere.”

At this stage of the battle, both sides have some understanding of each other’s high-level combat power.

The high-level forces on the Aus side are those ministers and deputy ministers…

As corporate dogs, their treatment, welfare, and resources far exceed ordinary professionals.

Their equipment is sophisticated, and they generally have several fifth-sixth tier professions, as well as a dozen skilled and loyal subordinates.

Lu Ping’an had personally been on the battlefield and fought several times…

Every time, it was a bit difficult.

“…there are few of them actually working.”

Lu Ping’an felt strange as the current situation had forced both sides into a bloody close-quarters battle, making individual soldier strength paramount.

In such a story, one man defending a pass against thousands is a legend, but now, it’s a reality on this battlefield.

At this point, ordinary Aus mercenaries coming in were basically fodder, and only high-ranking combat power could break through.

When one side deploys high-end combat power, the other side, if they don’t want a huge loss in a short period, should also deploy high-level combat power of the same grade to fight.

Once both sides enter a duel, it doesn’t necessarily mean the stronger wins…

On a chaotic battlefield, a rifle with Vortex Stone can take down a strongman in one swoop.

Having the advantage of home turf, the people of the Eastern Country had set up many hidden posts and sniping points, and many unlucky high-ranking individuals had died rather wronged.

Their high-ranking side also faces the same risk…

Vortex Stone weapons have limited threat to high-ranking individuals on an ordinary battlefield, but if caught off guard by a sniper in a melee, they’ll be dead in an instant.

Lu Ping’an was prepared for a large number of high-ranking casualties since, on this flesh-grinder, everyone’s survival time wasn’t guaranteed given they were all mortal and fleshed beings.

Err, Lu Ping’an could be an exception, as his full armor could withstand the Vortex Stone Mechanism Gun.

He had achieved good results several times on the frontline, saving many lives…

In this level of battlefield, most middle and high-ranking professionals take turns going up.

The most active on both sides were soldiers and Heavy Armor Warriors, professions specially prepared for the battlefield.

Ordinary middle and high-ranking professionals must maintain a good state to have a chance of staying alive.

Those who indulge in a battle, or whose bloodlust overwhelms them, or who simply lose their vigilance due to exhaustion, can easily die inexplicably.

It has to be admitted that the cheap and efficient Vortex Stone weapons of this world pose a serious threat to low-ranked professionals, and when high-ranking professionals enter such a battlefield, the risk is often unbearable.

Of course, the main point is that when the Eastern Country people arrived in this world, they did not get used to this war rhythm.

If they could survive this, naturally, things would be different…

The artillery fire outside continued, and the high-ranking professionals were taking turns on duty, waiting for the Aus people to lose patience and send a high-end assault team…

That would be the time when both sides accelerated their bleeding.

Lu Ping’an saw the situation clearly.

Besides one side dying completely, only a desperate situation where both sides were unable to bear losses could lead to a truce…

The latter, in reality, is no different from the former.

In this war of attrition, charging forward with slogans of blood and vigor was equivalent to suicide.

Using cover, having a soldier rotation system, and ample logistical support from the rear is the key to victory…

In such intensive and fierce battles, personal valor matters but without reaching the Rule-level, it’s not enough to single-handedly change the tide.

Rather, unassuming logistics and medical support is crucial.

In this regard, Lu Ping’an’s side was actually terrifyingly strong.

He knew that the Aus people were also making their own calculations…

Normally, the Eastern Country people must be short on food, extremely short!

After most people were attacked, they kept fleeing, so the food they could gather from hunting and collecting was bound to be limited, and with a large gathering of people in their territory, they shouldn’t have much food to spare either.

On the contrary, due to the large number of people coming in, it would accelerate food consumption.

“…Are they really waiting for us to run out of food?”

In this regard, Lu Ping’an actually controlled it quite precisely.

With his courtyard, he could supply enough food for everyone, but he never showed it.

He only provided just enough food for the frontline to be full but not to the point of overflowing.

He tried to give the Aus people an illusion that with the passage of time, the Eastern Country people would become weaker…

but in reality, it was exactly the opposite.

Perhaps his strategy succeeded, at least the Aus high-end combat power seemed quite inactive.

The ministers’ frontline appearances were basically routine, and the Security Department’s ace and elite teams just came to the front lines and went back…

They should have Rule-level power at their disposal.

“…Tsk, I’ve thrown out the bait, why aren’t they biting?”

Lu Ping’an had prepared for a deadly attack and high-level blood battle, but the expected arrival never came, leaving him somewhat uneasy.

Could it be that the Aus people couldn’t withstand this level of depletion?

That couldn’t be the case.

Suddenly, a sense of crisis struck, and his ears filled with a buzzing sound, as if something bad was happening.

Lu Ping’an raised his head abruptly, and there were quite a few people who did the same.

At the same time, many high-level professionals sensed that something was wrong.

This was a spiritual intuition of life being threatened, and at the same time, so many people were likely to die?

Everyone was asking, but nobody could answer.

However, the feeling of a disaster approaching was tightening around everyone’s necks, and they could only vaguely sense that the threat was coming from the sky…

Lu Ping’an looked up, and the sky was empty as if there was nothing.

He squinted his eyes and changed his perspective.

Following his instincts, his Eye of Truth began to sense “fluctuations” and the conversion of kinetic and thermal energy.

“…Chris, didn’t you say that dumping trash from outer space is not allowed?”

Ever since he found out that the Gods were in the sky, Lu Ping’an thought of his civilization’s “space-based weapons”, those “cheap nuclear weapons” that easily destroyed everything, might have become the nuclear blackmail of the Deity.

“It’s not that it’s not allowed, but it can’t be done…

Any normal world with a will of the world will regard this behavior as an attack, an attack on the entire world…”

Chris pondered and switched the high-level “knowledge” to a more understandable explanation.

“…And when you can carry out this kind of attack, you’re already approaching the planet’s atmosphere, basically entering the hostile range of the planet, and you’d die quite miserably.”

Lu Ping’an looked up at the sky, where a massive amount of heat was being converted into kinetic energy in the direction of the Aus people’s main base, which was a conversion method he was very familiar with, extremely familiar with…

Right now, this “energy conversion point” was still flying straight up.

“Moreover, even if you do this, the power is quite average.

Small and medium-sized objects burn up when they enter the atmosphere, and large objects…

are captured by the planet and hurled back.”

Big Cat added a few more words, but Lu Ping’an just shook his head with a smile.

“But what if the thing flies up from the ground and then crashes down?”

Those who still do such stupid things on the surface will be instantly filled with malice by the planet, dying quite miserably.” Big Cat understood very well because there were really some fools who did such things, causing trouble for many people.

“…Then, not leaving the atmosphere, or rather, sticking to the atmosphere and coming down diagonally.”

“…Well, that would be an aviation accident, I guess.”

Lu Ping’an raised his hand, calculating the angle of its takeoff, and it was indeed an arc.

Actually, what Lu Ping’an saw was Hod Company’s CEO Marvin happily introducing the Fist Product to the Envoy – The Vortex Stone Powered Space Elevator!

At this point, Big Cat couldn’t help it anymore.

“What on earth have you seen?

Did the Aus people launch an artificial spacecraft?

It would have burned to ashes if it fell.

And if they didn’t dare to fly out of the atmosphere high enough, the impact force wouldn’t be strong enough either.”

The stronger the impact, the more it burns, and the weaker the force, the less worth guarding against.

Normal planets throw down a few artificial satellites each year, which is not the same as the theoretical data on space-based weapons.

“What if the spacecraft is made of Vortex Stone?”

It seemed that there was no answer to this question, as no one had ever done it before.

“…When it falls, the large amount of heat will give it more kinetic energy?

It will disintegrate…

No, it can’t consume it all, so theoretically it has a high heat resistance, and it will keep accelerating toward the ground?

Or will it disintegrate in mid-air into cluster bombs…”

Obviously, neither piece of news was good news.

Lu Ping’an loosened his collar, stood up, and started stretching his muscles while giving orders.

“…Tell everyone to start evacuating and enter the underground shelters.”
