Chapter 286 Bombardment
Meanwhile, at the border fortress, the command post.
"Commander, the helicopter that was chasing those three evolved beings has not returned yet."
The messenger spoke tremblingly.
"Hmm? Able to keep the helicopter here? What kind of evolved being would that be?"
An aged yet steady voice rang out.
"No evolved being can withstand guns and cannons!"
If they can't kill it, it must be because their firepower is insufficient!
Evolvers rarely act alone in small groups; they are likely backed by many other evolved beings!
"Commander, please send me a regiment. I'll find them and annihilate them!"
At this moment, an officer stood up and volunteered.
"One regiment? That's probably not enough. I'll give you three regiments, five thousand men."
One artillery battalion will be added.
Make sure they are all wiped out, and remember to bring the bodies back.
The aged voice rang out again, cleared its phlegm, and then spoke decisively.
"What if some of them are ordinary people?"
The officer who volunteered was initially delighted, but then, as if remembering something, he asked in a deep voice.
"Let's see how they do."
If they are being oppressed, try to rescue them while ensuring your own safety.
If they're willing to be dogs for the evolved beings, then let them all perish with them.
The aged voice spoke calmly.
"Yes!"
……
A few hours later, a massive army of five thousand men followed the trail of Cangnian and his group as they fled.
However, they ultimately only found a few pieces of helicopter debris.
Around the helicopter debris, the footprints had vanished as if they had disappeared into thin air.
"Could it be that they can fly?"
Squatting at the end of the footprints, the officer frowned and muttered to himself.
"Colonel! No other traces were found, only the path that those evolved creatures came from."
Do you think they might be turning to that road to mislead us?
A soldier stepped forward to report.
"Unless they flew away directly, this is the only possibility left."
I just don't know how they managed to take three helicopters away.
"All men, march north along that road!"
The officer pondered for a moment, then spoke loudly.
Then, after about two hours of marching, the large contingent followed the animal migration route northward.
“Something’s strange. There’s no snow covering the ground here; instead, the soil is exposed.”
It looked as if it had been burned by something, leaving behind ashes..."
The officer was even more puzzled.
"Colonel! These must be traces left behind during their migration!"
They seem to have a large number of people, otherwise they wouldn't need to open such a wide road for their migration!
They're very likely hiding in the nearby dense forest!
At this point, the officer's staff speculated.
"I think so too.
The evolved beings are cunning; it would be very dangerous for us to go directly into the dense forest.
So… Second Battalion Commander! Bring up the French artillery!
Line them up in a row and bomb this dense forest three times over!
Let's see how they ambush us!
The officer nodded, then gave the order with a cold smile.
Before long, that artillery battalion had moved all the gun emplacements to the front of the formation.
Facing the dense forest, a full sixty cannons of various types were ready for use.
"fire--!!!"
Then, a series of deafening thuds rang out, startling the sparse birds flying in the dense forest.
Even the surrounding snow seemed to tremble.
Boom boom boom——! ! !
Then, shells rained down into the dense forest, raking it up from near to far!
An entire fully-equipped army group, along with attached military processing plants.
In addition, there are countless standard stockpiles from the last century.
Therefore, this military fortress may lack everything, but it will never lack artillery shells and bullets.
That's why these soldiers are never afraid of being wasted when they are used.
Soon, the entire jungle had turned into a sea of fire filled with smoke.
This means that most of the plants were frozen to death, and a considerable amount of water inside them was frozen into ice.
Otherwise, after this round of shelling, the terrifying fire would have been out of control.
After rounds of bombardment, half of the shells on their hands were used up, and the officer raised his hand to indicate that there was no need to continue bombarding.
"Select three combat squads to go in and check out the situation."
The officer pointed to the scorched forest and gave the order.
Less than half a minute after he finished speaking, three combat teams entered the room and began searching.
But five minutes have passed, and still no one has come out.
"Prepare for another shelling!"
The officer glanced at his watch and then spoke decisively.
"Colonel, there are still our men inside!"
The staff officer quickly reminded him.
"If he hasn't come out for so long, he must have been murdered."
"Killing the evolved beings who killed them while they were still preparing to ambush us is the greatest respect we can show to the victims!"
The officer said in a firm tone.
"Okay... well..."
Hearing this, the staff officer had no choice but to compromise.
Buzz~!
But just then, in the scorched forest, a towering tree, as tall as a pagoda, suddenly appeared!
Then, a purple-gold bowl with a diameter of several hundred meters fell upside down in mid-air, emitting a booming sound like the lingering echo of an ancient bell!
The officer, who was about to shout "Ready to engage the enemy!" suddenly became confused.
The other soldiers, with their guns already raised, also remained in the same posture, lost in thought, as if frozen in time.
"Damn it, they're not playing by the rules..."
All my previous arrangements have been wasted, so I have no choice but to resort to magic weapons..."
Having mentally controlled an army of five thousand men, Cang Nian felt a real headache coming on.
His original plan was to lure the pursuing army into the dense forest, and then have the evolved humans storm in and defeat them one by one.
To prevent the enemy from indiscriminately firing and causing losses to the evolved beings in Kangcheng and Mucheng, he also instructed the evolved beings to stay at a distance.
As a result, the enemy immediately launched a bombing raid.
Fortunately, the previous preparations prevented us from suffering any losses.
But when a group of soldiers came in, the evolved humans went up and knocked them unconscious. The officer didn't care about the lives of his soldiers and was about to launch another round of artillery fire!
The evolved beings knocked out the soldiers, but hadn't had time to evacuate yet.
Of course, Cangnian can have the little sable open a spatial portal.
However, given the other party's cautious nature, they will likely conduct several more rounds of probing.
Rather than doing that, it's better to solve the problem once and for all.
So he released the pine tree that had been occupying the golden bowl, and immediately used the [Conversion] skill on all the soldiers.
This purple-gold alms bowl truly lives up to its reputation as the best among magical treasures. It can control up to five thousand ordinary people with low mental strength!
"It's this consumption that's outrageous. Releasing the pine tree consumes half of the spiritual energy reserves in the Purple Gold Bowl."
In just a few seconds, a full ten percent of the time was wasted!
It looks like it can only control him for half a minute at most…
The purple-gold bowl, which had taken a long time to accumulate and finally become full of blue, was consumed all at once, which was precisely the reason for Cang Nian's toothache.
"Ow~!"
Feeling the rapidly depleting Purple Gold Bowl, Cangnian hurriedly roared loudly at the evolved beings in the dense forest.
Be quick and efficient!
