Chapter 923: Counter-Attack!

Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation

“Attack?”

When Yue Zhong heard these words, his eyes suddenly lit up, and the fog seemed to clear from his eyes.

Yue Zhong had always been a person who preferred to be on the offensive. However, due to the battle at the Xue Luo Forts being a defensive one, and the numbers of the Dino-Warriors being too many, his mindset had never been on the offensive, since it would mean death.

However, the situation was different now. The Xue Luo Fort had already fallen, with many Dino-Warriors now spread out in Cloud Region to slaughter the humans. No matter how big their numbers, when scattered throughout the vast Cloud Region, it would be impossible to reform and gather into that terrifying army outside the Fort. This was the only chance for the humans to retaliate.

Yue Zhong had just evacuated from the Xue Luo Forts and had always been on the defense. Thus, he had forgotten about the possibility of being on the offense. He was still human, after all, not an omnipotent G.o.d.

His eyes had a different glint in them now, and Luo Qing Qing, whose image was already radiant in his eyes, became even more dazzling, “Thank you, truly.”

Luo Qing Qing laughed coyly, “I can help to lead a troop and attack those d.a.m.n lizards.”

Yue Zhong’s heart immediately relaxed a lot more, “I’ll have to trouble you then!”, before turning to his communicator, “Bai Yi! Support Luo Qing Qing fully, make sure she gets the resources she needs.”

Zheng Yan He was an outstanding defensive general. He knew the Forts like the back of his hand. As for Luo Qing Qing, she was termed as the Storm Queen, with her heaven-defying talents, she had been born to battle. Her combat abilities were extraordinary, and she adapted best in battle.

She laughed brightly in response, before turning around with a valiant aura and left, leaving Yue Zhong to gaze at her beautiful back.

As the Storm Queen, Luo Qing Qing’s position was similar to Yue Zhong, she naturally would not be in a subservient position, unlike his subjects.

Yue Zhong admired her leaving back for a while before his gaze turned resolute, and he left for the outdoor with big strides.

Soon, 4 fully equipped troops of 10,000 men charged out from the capital, galloping for the different parts of Cloud Region.

Although Yue Zhong had rescued over 100,000 elite soldiers from the Xue Luo Fort, most of them had been through many days of the unending a.s.sault. They were exhausted and needed the rest.

The capital also required many soldiers to guard, thus, Yue Zhong could only deploy about 40,000 soldiers.

Humans and Dino-Warriors were vastly different. The human soldiers required strict military training over a period of time to produce elite soldiers, whereas the foreign races had combat already in their DNA. The moment they matured, they were powerful warriors already.

Inside a village, where there were only rice and vegetable fields, a number of old farmers were going about their activities, while kids were playing out in the sun. The housewives were sewing clothes for their families, and it had a picturesque feel of a loving and warm village.

All of a sudden, a number of Velociraptor-Warriors jumped out of a forest near the village, their eyes bloodshot.

“What is that?!”

One farmer saw the sudden appearance of the Velociraptor-Warrior and could not help himself but take a step closer.

Inside Cloud Region, due to the hundreds of years of peace, the ordinary people had never seen the foreign races before.

The eyes of the 3 Velociraptor Warriors flashed dangerously. With a single leap, one disappeared from where he was and reappeared in front of the farmer, chomping down viciously.

At that instant, the farmer had huge chunks of flesh torn from him, fresh blood splattering everywhere.

“Ah!!! Monsters!!!”

The rest of the farmers felt their hair stand at this horrific scene and screamed as they fled in various directions.

The rest of the Velociraptors also quickly disappeared and charged right into the village.

Screams soon echoed out, as blood splattered everywhere. The village was soon turned into h.e.l.l, as the Velociraptor-Warriors tore into the humans.

Outside the village, over hundreds and thousands of Velociraptors were charging for this human village.

The Velociraptor Warriors were naturally smaller in stature and their hind legs powerful, thus their speed was insane. Each time they attacked, it would be in droves and relying on their packs to hunt. They could only use such tactics to keep up with those larger and stronger Tyranno-Warriors.

“Attack!”

A cold order rang out, and immediately, beams of light shot out from various angles, blasting the Velociraptor Warriors.

Faced with this sudden ambush, many Velociraptors screamed out and turned around, intending to pounce towards those soldiers.

Unfortunately, the relentless beams turned many of them into sieves, their bodies crumpling to the ground.

After paying the price of hundreds of deaths, the remaining Velociraptor Warriors managed to charge into the camp.

At this moment, Luo Qing Qing appeared, decked in her Type 5 Battle Suit, single-handedly charging into their midst with her Battle Spear. Each time her spear lit up, the heads of the Velociraptor Warriors would blow up, fresh blood dying the ground.

Luo Qing Qing was like a valkyrie, standing her ground, and any Velociraptor Warrior that charged at her would be taken down without fail. Not a single one could cross her line.

After half an hour, this unit of 500 Velociraptor Warriors were all wiped out, leaving blood and dismembered corpses all over the ground.

Hai Xi stepped over the dead bodies, reporting, “Your Majesty, there are no more survivors inside the village!”

“Let’s go!” Luo Qing Qing sighed, turning around to leave.

Countless soldiers followed, heading for the next point.

At another part of Cloud Region, within the Lei Xi City, there were charred black bodies of Dino-Warriors, as a unit of Mech-Fighters were cleaning up the battlefield.

Yue Zhong stood outside the city, looking at the corpse, frowning deeply. He had led this army of Mech-Fighters to annihilate a 10,000-strong army of Dino-Warriors, but the rest of them were still pus.h.i.+ng on slowly on the Capital. There did not seem to be any effect on them. Even with Yue Zhong going on a ma.s.sacre, it did not affect the main Dino-Army.

If a unit of 10,000 humans were wiped out, it would be a disaster. But to the alliance of 16 Dino-Kingdoms, that number was nothing.

Emperor Ba Long also did not employ any particularly deep strategy. He just intended to use the sheer force of his military might to push towards the capital. This was a simple but effective tactic. Yue Zhong was already outnumbered, and there was no risk to this particular method.

“No, if this goes on, not to mention 1 day, we can’t even drag it out for an hour.”

Yue Zhong frowned, and stepped over the blood-red ground, deep in thoughts.

“Oh right! With their numbers, their food consumption must be astronomical. Even with the battle and consuming their comrades’ corpses, there has to be some sort of supply.”

All of a sudden, Yue Zhong’s eyes brightened. His body flashed as he hurried back towards the command center and asked Bai Yi, “Bai Yi, help me check if the Dino-army has some form of logistics support.”

Although they had retreated, in order to gain intel, Yue Zhong had released numerous electronic flies and dragonflies as well as other miniscule robotic lifeforms as Bai Yi’s eyes and ears throughout the region.

It was because of them that Yue Zhong could accurately grasp the direction with the Dino-army was moving, and avoid their main force, hunting the smaller units.

“Understood!”

Upon receiving Yue Zhong’s order, Bai Yi’s eyes flashed with data, swiftly performing her calculations.

The numerous robotic lifeforms throughout Cloud Region were quickly activated and flew out to gather the information.

Bai Yi then swiftly projected out a display in front of Yue Zhong, “We’ve discovered the location of the logistics.”

Yue Zhong saw the display and finally heaved a sigh of relief, “That’s great, we can finally cause those b.u.g.g.e.rs some trouble.”

With that, the Mech-Fighters immediately moved out under Bai Yi’s control, quickly searching for the next target to eliminate.

Bai Yi had her own sentience, and as long as Yue Zhong gave the order, she would be able to control the Mech-Fighters to search for Dino-Warriors to hunt automatically.

If it was not for the necessity to guard the Capital, allowing for a wide-scale evacuation, Yue Zhong would definitely throw all the Mech-Fighters into the fray, and hunt the Dino-Warriors.

About 50km south of the Xue Luo Forts, a number of huge Diplodocuses were dragging mountain-like vehicles behind them. There were 80,000 Velociraptor-Warriors on their mounts riding alongside the procession, eyeing their surroundings warily. This procession was about a few kilometers long, looking extremely ferocious.

There were also 15 Mid-Grade Dino-Generals among them. Out on the field, no other force could possibly be a match for this unit.

As this was at the back of all the forces, and due to their large numbers, the Dino-Warriors could not help but relax a little, without the intention to search.

Behind a sand dune, Yue Zhong looked at the pa.s.sing army and ordered coldly, “Do it!!”

All of a sudden, clouds of dust rolled by, and 500 tanks escorted by 6,000 soldiers on enhanced motorcycles appeared.
