276: Chapter 276 Initiative
General Wang Ming said slowly to Master Long.
Master Long fell into deep thought, but it was only for a few seconds before he made up his mind.
"Good!"
"The situation cannot get any worse."
"So we have nothing left to fear."
"Let's take a gamble."
"Let's see if we win or lose this gamble."
Master Long stood up abruptly. Since that was the case, they would simply let humanity start the war.
They absolutely could not just stand by and watch all this happen without doing anything.
Immediately after, Master Long ordered all soldiers and Evolvers on the front lines of the Beast Battlefield to retreat into the underground fortifications.
Everyone was confused.
But they immediately put down what they were doing.
They headed towards the underground fortifications one after another.
"What on earth is Master Long planning to do?"
No one gave them an explanation.
At this moment, hundreds of Evolved Beasts attacking from the ocean stepped into the Beast Battlefield, only to be met with countless missile strikes.
Instantly, flames erupted.
The earth churned.
However, the power of these missiles only killed most of the Evolved Beasts, while a small portion dragged their mangled bodies out of the flames.
Next, it was the turn of humanity's powerhouses to start sweeping the battlefield.
After finishing that, they also headed towards the underground fortifications.
At this moment, the heavy rain was still falling.
It seemed to be getting heavier.
And the wind over the sea was also getting stronger.
Massive waves had even begun to appear.
Following that, orders from Master Long and the supreme commander of the Beast Battlefield were transmitted simultaneously, and the nuclear missile units within the missile forces were revealed.
The more complex the situation, the simpler the method needed to break it.
The Beast King attempted to stir up a monstrous flood to submerge the Beast Battlefield, using it to open a passage connecting the ocean to the land of Huaxia, allowing the Ocean Evolved Beasts to invade Huaxia in full force. However, they never expected that someone among humanity had already guessed their purpose.
Master Long and General Wang Ming's method was very simple.
That was to just blast them with nuclear missiles!
Under a nuclear missile, everyone is equal.
If they wanted to annihilate everything, then they would just flip the table; no one gets to play.
Even if they couldn't kill these three Beast Kings, they had to break the current stalemate and ruin their plans.
However, the consequences of doing so were also unbearable for humanity.
If the nuclear missiles detonated in the ocean, it would inevitably stir up massive waves that could submerge the Beast Battlefield and potentially even drown the cities nearby.
It would be like helping the Beast King.
Therefore, Master Long and General Wang Ming were also gambling when they issued this order.
They were gambling on the importance of the Third Beast King compared to the other two.
They were gambling on whether the Beast King would just watch the nuclear missiles explode and let its plans be ruined.
They were gambling that this ability to control the weather was definitely not something that could be used at will, that it must have massive limitations, and perhaps even had a huge impact on its own strength and actions.
So, whether it would try to tank the nuclear missiles or something else, no one knew yet.
To be safe, Master Long used five nuclear missiles this time, confirming the launch without hesitation. Instantly, five brilliant streaks of light slowly rose into the sky from the cities near the Beast Battlefield.
Their speed increased rapidly.
The five nuclear missiles came from different locations, tracing five different arcs across the firmament, but they all had the same target.
Heading straight into the ocean, to the location of the Beast King.
The consequences of five nuclear missiles were self-evident, but the power of these five was also enough to severely injure the three Beast Kings.
Of course, that would only happen if the Beast Kings stood still and let themselves be hit.
At this moment, many people saw these five nuclear missiles.
Their hearts were filled with horror.
Had the situation at the Beast Battlefield really become so severe that nuclear missiles had to be used?
The entire world seemed to sense something strange, becoming even more oppressive and restless.
Master Long and General Wang Ming were staring fixedly at these five brilliant beams of light; even for them, their mood at this moment was extremely restless.
However, the next second, something no one expected happened.
Suddenly, a heaven-shaking bolt of purple lightning struck straight at one of the nuclear missiles!
Master Long's pupils contracted sharply.
He could feel that the power of this lightning bolt was already enough to match the ordinary full-strength blow of an Elementary Town General.
In an instant, when that purple lightning hit the nuclear missile, that missile completely vanished into the sky.
No explosion; it simply vanished completely.
It seemed as if the lightning had directly destroyed the nuclear missile in an instant; the missile hadn't even had time to take effect.
And now, there were still four nuclear missiles.
Immediately after, two more lightning bolts appeared, once again destroying two of the nuclear missiles directly.
Of the five nuclear missiles, only two remained.
Even Master Long and General Wang Ming had not expected this scene.
The nuclear missiles they had pinned their hopes on were reduced to only two in an instant.
"The nuclear missiles… disappeared."
Many people who saw this scene muttered to themselves in a daze, as if this scene had exceeded the limits of what they could imagine.
Following that, the purple lightning tried to gather again to strike the remaining nuclear missiles, but in the end, it only gathered halfway before dissipating automatically.
The fourth lightning bolt was not unleashed.
It seemed that unleashing three consecutive purple lightning bolts had exhausted most of its power.
And visibly, the torrential rain began to let up.
Even the dark clouds dispersed quite a bit.
Master Long and General Wang Ming exchanged a glance; the entity behind this purple lightning and these unyielding dark clouds came from the same existence: the Third Beast King.
It seemed that this Third Beast King was still afraid of death.
And from this, it could be said that they had won their gamble!
At this moment, the two remaining nuclear missiles had also arrived above the location of the Beast King.
"Boom!"
Immediately after, under the expectant gazes of countless people, the nuclear missiles were less than a hundred meters above the ocean.
But things never go as one wishes.
In front of the two nuclear missiles, one on the left and one on the right, two behemoths, Beast Kings reaching a hundred meters in height, suddenly appeared.
These two were the Beast Kings from the ocean that had previously fought with Master Long and General Wang Ming.
One was the Raging Sea Shark, which possessed the ability to walk on land, and the other was a deep-sea octopus with several tentacles dozens of meters long.
The moment these two Beast Kings appeared, they struck directly at the incoming nuclear missiles.
They even used their own abilities directly.
To tank the two nuclear missiles head-on.
And in an instant...
The two nuclear missiles exploded at a height of one hundred meters in the sky, erupting into brilliant, extreme spheres of light. Immediately after, the terrifying heat and shockwaves headed towards the coastline and continued towards the land.
For a moment, the entire sky seemed to lose its color.
Becoming incomparably dazzling.
The terrifying shockwave even blasted a huge crater directly into the surface of the sea, but the nuclear missiles had exploded at an altitude of one hundred meters above the ocean, and most of the destructive power was borne by the two terrifying Beast Kings.
Therefore, these two nuclear missiles did not stir up massive waves.
Even when the shockwaves reached the land, their power was much, much smaller.
Master Long and General Wang Ming stared fixedly at the location of the two light spheres.
The Beast Kings, were they dead or alive...
