Chapter 1331: Chaos Mental Field
When Cloud Peak’s weapons fired, although it was too exaggerated to say that it was like ten thousand cannons were fired, it was very shocking and impressive.
Hot weapons were rare. In the attack feast, mostly crystal weapons were used, and apart from the trap explosion, not much smoke was caused. Thus, everyone’s vision was unaffected.
But because of that, blood, limbs, and twisted corpses were laid out in front of everyone.
They retreated in an orderly manner, and the pressure they faced increased, causing an increase in the number of casualties. But Cloud Peak warriors managed to cause the density of the mutated lifeforms to increase.
Half a city of mutated lifeforms surrounded Cloud Peak’s formation in a semi-circular shape. They squeezed a few hundred thousand humans into a small space.
In normal circumstances, it should be a slaughter and delicious feast. But now, they were living targets.
If you looked at the crystal weapons individually, apart from giant cannons like the annihilation series or the sniper rifles that could threaten higher-level lifeforms, the others couldn’t pose a huge threat to mutated lifeforms. The attacks were either dodged, intercepted, or tanked.
But when many of these weapons fired at the same time, the increase in strength and wave-like attacks were tough to handle for these mutated lifeforms.
When you covered an area with enough firepower, ten thousand mutated apes and a few hundred thousand mutated lifeforms were the same thing.
The act of killing so many mutated lifeforms in a short time shocked not only humans but terrified the other mutated lifeforms.The flying lifeforms that surrounded the command center were defended against and suffered huge losses. They were actually at the best observing location. Now that they saw it, they were terrified and fled.
The Cloud Peak air defense forces defended against the mutated lifeforms. Some that were more careful or had lower evolution levels started to flee. The feeling of energy filling the sky was enough to scare them off.
Some things caused a chain reaction.
The Violent Lightning Turret and Wind Ball Mortar attacks were actually too strong for these fellows in the sky. Only a small amount of high-level evolved could charge down, but they had to face Xia Bai, who was like a demon. Without a level eight evolved, who would be her match?
After Xia Bai easily killed a level seven twin-headed mountain sparrow, the flying lifeforms in Xingzhou City started to break down.
It wasn’t a collapse, but they were in chaos.
There were actually many remaining flying lifeforms. Some started to flee, while some started to have different thoughts. They charged to places where Cloud Peak’s firepower wasn’t strong enough to eat the bodies of their dead allies. To a certain extent, humans were delicious. But other lifeforms were good, too. As long as their levels were high, they were delicious.
Of course, some more impulsive ones still charged at the humans and tried to attack the ground troops.
But there weren’t many such flying lifeforms. The air defense troops just needed two-thirds of their strength to defend. The remaining third was added in the battle against the zombie and beast horde.
The scales of victory started to lean towards Cloud Peak.
They attacked without any care about the cost, causing the number of mutated lifeforms to reduce each moment. The Cloud Peak warriors didn’t feel any pressure anymore and started focusing on the enemies before them. They were waiting for a chance to strike back.
The cannons fired for close to an hour before the mutated lifeforms on the ground started to collapse.
Even if other lifeforms from the other side of the city rushed over, this collapse couldn’t be stopped.
These mutated lifeforms fled, which caused them to conflict with the other mutated lifeforms that rushed over. They weren’t friends, and most of them were enemies. Because of humans, they suppressed their hatred. But now, they faced each other and blocked each other’s path.
They would attack each other previously for no reason, much less now.
The mutated lifeform group was facing a weird situation. In the middle was the region where Cloud Peak’s crystal weapons focused on. Corpses were strewn there, and not many of them were alive.
In the front, it seemed like they were still surrounding Cloud Peak’s formation. But it was just a thin layer, and they didn’t look strong enough.
At the back was the chaotic battle between those who fled and those who were rushing over.
At this time, Guang Yao received new orders. The crystal weapons would stop firing, and Cloud Peak would counterattack.
The Cloud Peak warriors who had been suppressing their urge gave off furious roars and started to attack.
Cloud Peak’s few large-scale battles were defensive ones. But attack was what was in the bones of warriors. When hunting, no one could keep up with Cloud Peak.
Now that they were unchained, they were like uncaged tigers that swept past the bodies of the mutated corpses.
“Damn, the order is to force the evolved lifeforms back! Why are you killing them all? Don’t deal so much damage.”
Tong Hu held a blue rod Ye Zhongming specifically made for him, hitting enemies around him into meat paste. He continued to scold and tell his subordinates to calm down, but they ignored him.
The warriors all learned from their captains.
Mo Ye’s battle squad would firmly follow the orders. They tried to scatter the mutated lifeforms and make them turn back to help Cloud Peak stop the enemies from the other half of the city.
“Retreat!”
After a few dozen minutes, Guang Yao told them to back off. Cloud Peak’s counterattack stopped, and the team retreated to a safe distance.
During that short time, the lifeforms surrounding Cloud Peak were destroyed. Most were killed. Only a portion retreated and joined into the group that faced the other group of mutated lifeforms.
The battle wasn’t over. Three Cloud Peak battle squads were moved back. Along with the tens of thousands of other faction warriors, they cleared the mutated lifeforms around. The air defense didn’t stop. The flying lifeforms were scattered but still surrounded Cloud Peak’s camp.
But the head-on battle had come to a temporary end.
Many people were busy on the ground. They switched demon crystals or damaged parts for the crystal weapons. They adjusted the slightly messy positions of the cannons, helped the injured, recorded the names of the dead, tabulated the losses…
Cloud Peak was already very familiar with doing all this. Even the other faction and Posthumous People learned all these skills.
They also had to clean up the battlefield.
Facing the numerous corpses, valuable materials, and demon crystals, Cloud Peak didn’t move.
Everyone knew that the battle was far from over.
“Captain, the mutated lifeforms have started to gather.”
A messenger passed the message to Guang Yao. The latter knew those mutated lifeforms that wanted to flee were killed mainly by other mutated lifeforms. The remaining would either escape from the sides or join the new squad.
The battle was about to begin again.
The second stage was very important as it was key to this operation.
But that wasn’t the toughest because Cloud Peak wanted to catch them off guard.
The battle would enter its third and final stage, which would take a long time, be tough, and result in huge losses.
But as long as Cloud Peak wins on the other battlefield, they will definitely win here.
After Guang Yao gave the needed orders, he turned to the other battlefield.
