90: Fighting behind enemy lines

“Godfather, don’t laugh like that. It’s a bit like a villain in a novel, easily getting his chrysanthemum exploded by the protagonist.”

“What do you know? This is the Human Sovereign Banner!”

Lin Chen’s cackling laughter attracted the attention of his teammates. The Human Sovereign Banner, after being bound to his soul, floated behind him, coolly emitting white light.

The Human Sovereign Banner, before absorbing souls, was merely white and looked quite normal.

“Godfather, don’t go astray. While external cultivation is good and only requires killing, internal cultivation is the foundation.”

“I understand. It’s just that I’m quite fond of acquiring the Human Sovereign Banner. I only heard about it before, never saw it with my own eyes, and never owned one. Oh, by the way, what are your innate military weapons?”

Lin Chen was happy for a while, then put away the Human Sovereign Banner. The current Human Sovereign Banner was still a basic version, unenhanced, and not very useful.

“Godfather, this is my innate military weapon, the Blood Pool from the Blood Sea series. It can extract the essence and blood of all spirits to condense blood crystals. Blood crystals can be used to temper the physique, and more often, they can be used to replenish one’s own qi and blood consumption. It’s very useful.”

Wan Xue, despite having the appearance of a loli, directly pulled out a blood pool emitting a crimson glow. Under the reflection of the blood pool, her entire body was coated in a layer of blood, creating a somewhat contrasting image.

“Godfather, my Bone Throne is also very cool.”

“You guys are all no good. Godfather, just look at my Flesh Hell. This is the truly life-saving innate military weapon.”

… … …

Previously, during the dungeon raid, because they were virtual characters, no one took out their innate military weapons. Now, looking at the dazzling array of innate military weapons, it was as if they had fallen into a den of evil cultivators.

Summoning their innate military weapons, in innate military weapon mode, everyone truly had a bit of a Demonic God vibe to them.

After seeing their innate military weapons, Lin Chen felt that his Human Sovereign Banner was still very kind.

It only needed the souls of enemies for advancement, unlike other people’s innate military weapons, which required the enemies’ flesh, bones, and even extreme negative emotions for advancement, making the scene quite unsightly.

However, most early-stage innate military weapons had this style. A pleasant name could not hide their predatory nature. As long as it was plunder, evil would inevitably arise with it.

Therefore, the issuance of innate military weapons required applicants to possess certain qualities, at least a firm will and a mindset of “Human Race above all, all other spirits are inferior,” otherwise they would not be able to control the innate military weapon.

After preparations were complete, everyone waited for Zhao Shijie to return from the meeting.

In a racial war of such immense scope, the power of individuals could only play a minimal role, unless it was an invincible individual capable of sweeping everything, such as the Azure Dragon Legion Master.

Otherwise, they still had to rely on human wave tactics, coupled with a complete logistics system and cutting-edge technology. Only then could the Human Race annihilate a race with 84 gods in a short period.

Lin Chen’s individual strength was not outstanding; even within the 001 Assault Legion, he was considered average. Therefore, in the upcoming war, if there wasn’t a particularly suitable plan, his contributions would not be significant.

The army has always been the easiest collective to produce strong individuals. The Federal Army is the most violent group in the Human Race, gathering more than half of the Human Race’s power here.

Therefore, Lin Chen, who had not yet grown, appeared mediocre under the vast numerical base, even needing to rely on technological weapons to participate in the war.

Three hours later, Zhao Shijie returned.

“Captain, do we have a designated mission?”

What everyone cared about most was whether the group had issued a designated mission. A designated mission was best, as it came with comprehensive intelligence support, and completing it allowed them to strike at surrounding areas.

If it was a free attack to cause destruction, it would be difficult to choose due to numerous targets, and it would be easy to collide with other teams, which would severely affect combat effectiveness.

Zhao Shijie did not keep them in suspense and briefly mentioned the content of the meeting. Most importantly, the group had assigned the Huahai Squad a specific behind-enemy-lines sabotage mission.

This was not the minor behind-enemy-lines mission from before, but a true deep infiltration into the One-Eyed Giant Race Territory to strike at the enemy’s critical areas and paralyze their war capabilities.

The frontal battlefield had nothing to do with the Assault Legion; their scale was too small to intervene.

Their battlefield was behind enemy lines, in the enemy’s heartland.

Although behind enemy lines was dangerous, isolated, and they could be discovered and lose their lives at any time, as the first group to enter the One-Eyed Giant Race Territory, opportunities were everywhere, always more than for those who came later.

Mission: Destroy the enemy’s 15th Battleship Production Base.

Difficulty: High.

Mission Description: In the border region of the One-Eyed Giant Race, designated as the 98th Star Region (a small star system with a three-thousand-light-year radius), the planet at the coordinates is the One-Eyed Giant Race’s designated 15th Battleship Production Base. The entire star region serves the Battleship Production Base.

Star Region Garrison Strength: One hundred million regular troops, over a thousand God Ascension Realm Experts, with the strongest being Ninth Order Gods. One-tenth of the forces are responsible for protecting the 15th Battleship Production Base.

Extension: Besides the 15th Battleship Production Base, the 98th Star Region also has 15 high-value planets at the following coordinates… Various means can be used to destroy their system’s resistance capability. Destruction of planets is prohibited.

This mission was not to be completed solely by the Huahai Squad, but by the entire 001 Assault Legion. The specific task for the Huahai Squad was relatively simple.

The Huahai Squad only needed to destroy the garrison on a resource planet, then occupy the resource planet and construct a Camp.

They needed to use the Camp to attract the surrounding garrisons, diverting a portion of the enemy forces, and drawing fire for the elite squad led by Army Commander Commander Beichen to destroy the 15th Battleship Production Base.

In behind-enemy-lines operations, a single squad obviously couldn’t carry out large-scale destruction missions. They could only achieve strategic objectives by operating as a basic combat unit with the Assault Legion and cooperating.

The 001 Assault Legion, with over five thousand people, could deploy a force of up to twenty-four thousand.

But these people, scattered across a star system spanning three thousand light-years, were merely a drop in the ocean. Only through mutual cooperation could they destroy the One-Eyed Giant Race’s war capabilities in the 98th Star Region and cut off the One-Eyed Giant Race’s support to the front lines.

006 Dengshen Group Army parade ground.

9 Assault Legions, 9 formations, a total of two hundred and eighty thousand people gathered together.

Not one of these two hundred and eighty thousand people was a living person; all were clones. They had many names, most commonly being called “Suicide Squads,” because they truly dared to die.

Lin Chen’s four clones stayed in the 001 Assault Legion’s formation, inconspicuous, blending in with their comrades, becoming part of the collective.

In the spectator stands nearby, all the main body members of the 9 Assault Legions were present, watching the clone army arrayed and ready in the center of the field.

They did not go to the battlefield; simply being alive was their greatest contribution to the war. The concept of the “Demonic God Disaster” originated from people like them.

They feared death and cherished life, but their contributions to the Human Race were no less than anyone else’s.

On the high platform of the Legion, a succession of Group Army high-ranking officials were present, sitting upright and observing the imposing Assault Legion.

At this moment, a Legion God descended. This God would initiate the teleportation, sending the 9 Assault Legions, a total of 280,000 people, to the rear star region of the One-Eyed Giant Race.

Large-scale operations naturally could not be done by smuggling.

Godly teleportation was the fastest way to reach behind enemy lines.

“Campaign!”

“May your martial fortunes flourish, gentlemen.”

On the platform, the God offered blessings.

Under everyone’s gaze, the God teleported one formation after another to the rear star region of the One-Eyed Giant Race.

“Fight! Fight! Fight!”

“Kill! Kill! Kill!”

“With the death of this body, forge the glory of the Human Race.”

“Death is but a brief slumber.”

“Only by not fearing death can one survive.”

“Undead, charge! All spirits, retreat!”

Before teleportation, the atmosphere was perfectly set. Someone started the cheers, and responders gathered, various declarations of war reverberating through the parade ground.

More clones remained silent, but their eyes burned with flames, eager to show off their skills.

Since the Human Race entered a collective society, the pursuit of honor has never ceased.

Clones are external manifestations of the main body, reflecting the main body’s clearest perception of the world. While the main body has too many considerations, clones have fewer, doing what they want, which can better reveal their true nature.

The expedition ceremony ended, and the main bodies of the Assault Legions’ warriors returned to the Camp, entering a state of war, maintaining contact with their clones, providing intelligence support, and using various methods to add a tiny bit of success rate to the clones’ actions.

In the 98th Star Region, twenty-four thousand clone warriors of the 001 Assault Legion landed.

The moment they landed, the God Ascension Realm Experts led by Army Commander Commander Beichen immediately acted to conceal the teleportation fluctuations and hide everyone’s aura.

The others also wasted no time, immediately gathering into squads, locking onto their respective squad’s targets, and using various methods to leave the landing zone, rushing to their destination at the fastest speed.

It was estimated that it would take three days for all squads to reach their destinations, and an additional half-day would be reserved for each squad to conduct on-site reconnaissance and formulate combat plans.

Therefore, the mission to surprise attack and destroy the One-Eyed Giant Race’s 15th Battleship Production Base would take at least four to five days to complete, with no possibility of failure.

Commander Beichen, that sly one, probably doesn’t need teammates to complete the mission, but with teammates, the fault tolerance will only be higher, and completing the mission will be even easier.
