178: Chapter 178 The Martial God Makes His Move! The Mask Is Torn Off!

The entire foot of the Qiyuan Mountains had been engulfed by a sea of fire.

People from the Black Earth Tribe were either reduced to ashes or wailing in agony everywhere, creating a scene of utter misery.

Even by conservative estimates, the round of bombardment that Li Mo had just ordered the Artillery Battalion to carry out had wiped out at least one hundred thousand members of the Black Earth Tribe.

Their troops at the foot of the mountain were basically completely annihilated, and those who were still alive were heavily injured.

And this was only after a single round of bombardment.

Li Mo did not have the Artillery Battalion bomb all the Black Earth Tribe troops directly, to prevent them from acting out of desperation; otherwise, half of the Black Earth Tribe might have died just now.

In the face of overwhelming firepower, all martial force is nothing but empty talk!

I am afraid that, except for a Martial God, no one could stop the star crystal bombs modified by Chen Xingbian.

Even a Heaven-Earth Realm martial artist would not be able to!

Being able to survive in front of the star crystal bombs is already quite remarkable for them.

Technology changes the world!

This point holds true even in the current era of high martial arts.

Seeing that Daxia's technological level had suddenly surpassed the Baiou Empire by several levels, Morpheus's face turned extremely gloomy.

He understood very well that he had to have his troops retreat, otherwise, facing such powerful firepower was no different from sending them to their deaths!

Even if he did not order a retreat, the morale of the Black Earth Tribe had already been shattered by Daxia's powerful firepower in one blow. The people of the Black Earth Tribe were not afraid of death, but that did not mean they could accept such meaningless deaths.

They hadn't even seen the enemy's face, yet half of their own people were already dead!

How can this war even be fought?

Even before Morpheus could order a retreat, some of the cowardly ones had already become deserters.

Compared to the low morale of the Black Earth Tribe, the Daxia side was simply surging with momentum.

Laughter rang out one after another.

One must know that just moments ago, the Black Earth Tribe, having occupied Daxia's positions, was still mocking the Daxia troops on the mountain; the reversal of the situation was just that rapid.

If it weren't for the fact that the area below had become a sea of fire, the commanders of the various Daxia units would probably have ordered a counterattack against the Black Earth Tribe right now!

Meanwhile, Marshal Zhao, who was commanding inside the main command tent, was also startled by this scene.

Half the sky over the Qiyuan Mountains was dyed red, and the mushroom cloud from the explosion could be seen clearly by them.

"What exactly happened? Is there no battle report from the front line yet?"

Marshal Zhao urged immediately.

The eastern front's positions had just been pushed back by several thousand meters by the Baiou Empire, and now he urgently needed to know the news about the Black Earth Tribe on the western front.

After a while, the messenger finally received the battle report from the front line and reported it.

"Report, Marshal Zhao, a mysterious person appeared on the Independent Regiment's position on the western front. This mysterious person helped modify our weapons, instantly reversing the situation of the battle!"

"Originally, the Black Earth Tribe had forced our people onto the mountain and was preparing for a full-scale attack, but because of this mysterious person, the Black Earth Tribe has not only been repelled but has also retreated several thousand meters. It is a complete victory!"

Li Mo kept his promise and concealed information about Chen Xingbian.

After hearing this battle report, Marshal Zhao, General Mo Yi, and the others in the main command tent were first overjoyed, and then a wave of suspicion followed.

What kind of mysterious person could have such great ability?

Could the weapons he modified actually defeat the Black Earth Tribe in an instant?

One must know that the soldiers of the Black Earth Tribe have always been known for their physical fitness; in fact, high-tech weapons are the least effective against Black Earth Tribe soldiers.

Although the result was very good, Marshal Zhao still asked: "Does the battle report mention the identity of this mysterious person?"

The messenger shook his head and said: "No, the battle report was sent personally by Commander Li Mo, and he did not specify the identity of this person!"

Li Mo was actually being clever here. If he really wanted to completely conceal Chen Xingbian's identity, he could have just said that he modified the weapons himself. Whether Marshal Zhao believed it or not, he could just say that.

The reason he said it was a mysterious person was that he hoped Marshal Zhao would send someone, or even come personally, to confirm Chen Xingbian's identity.

This way, he would neither break his promise to Chen Xingbian nor violate discipline.

After all, in principle, he was not allowed to conceal the identity of such an important figure as Chen Xingbian.

How wise Marshal Zhao was; he immediately saw through Li Mo's little scheme and specifically summoned his trusted aide, General Mo Yi.

"General Mo Yi, go to the front line and convey a military order for me!"

"Understood!"

As the commander-in-chief, Marshal Zhao naturally could not leave the main camp without authorization, otherwise, the army would surely fall into chaos.

Therefore, he had General Mo Yi go. It just so happened that most of General Mo Yi's army group was deployed on the western front, so sending him was reasonable.

Soon, General Mo Yi rushed to the front of the battlefield, and while he was on his way there, a major event occurred on the western front.

Seeing his troops suffer heavy losses, Morpheus's heart was bleeding.

One must know that the Black Earth Tribe was already the one suffering the most losses in this war: first ten thousand medical troops, then an army of one hundred thousand, and subsequently hundreds of thousands of kilograms of star crystals and a star crystal mine.

Such losses undoubtedly caused the entire Black Earth Tribe to suffer heavily.

Originally, if they had taken the Qiyuan Mountains, Morpheus might have been able to accept these losses.

But now, Li Mo's weapons had not only caused the Black Earth Tribe to lose another one hundred thousand troops but had also cut off any possibility of the Black Earth Tribe contending for the Qiyuan Mountains.

Enraged, Morpheus had lost his head a bit; he actually intended to take action against Height 212 personally!

He was well aware of the consequences of doing so. Once a Martial God participated in a conventional war, the worst outcome would be the destruction of the entire world, but he could no longer restrain himself now.

Even if the most serious consequences occurred, he had to destroy that height!

It was both to kill Li Mo to avenge the people of the Black Earth Tribe and to destroy the greatest threat to the Black Earth Tribe right now!

The next moment, the Martial God Golden Body appeared behind Morpheus.

Seeing this golden body, Morpheus's staff officers and adjutants all realized what he wanted to do.

"Marshal, be careful! Once you make a move, we will have no way back..."

"Marshal, retreat! We have already lost this war!"

Everyone hurriedly tried to dissuade him, but the entire Black Earth Tribe was currently Morpheus's personal domain; who could stop him!

Morpheus ultimately made his move. He only struck with one palm, a light palm strike that seemed to require no effort at all.

However, a Martial God cannot be judged from the perspective of an ordinary person; even this light palm strike was enough to flatten the entire battlefield Daxia had set up in the Qiyuan Mountains!

This attack was invisible, but Li Mo seemed to have sensed something and felt an unprecedented crisis.

He looked sharply in the direction where Morpheus was, and in an instant, he felt that overwhelming and massive Aura.

"Oh no! The Martial God has attacked!" Li Mo exclaimed.

He watched with his own eyes as, wherever the palm wind passed, not a blade of grass remained, and everything was completely destroyed; even the sea of fire spreading at the foot of the mountain was instantly extinguished by this one palm strike!
