Chapter 778
ꨡ[6Ba~oA}8: Chapter 0778: Detour Chapter 778: Chapter 0778: Detour Jupiter stepped on the proving ground.
An Insect Clan guard immediately stood up, the red light in its eyes locked onto Jupiter.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, it made a slight bowing gesture, its several limbs curved and, like a cannonball, lunged towards Jupiter!
Swish!
The giant pincers clashed with the short sword, causing Jupiter to retreat several steps.
He was shocked in his heart: “A hero!
Even a random guard here is a Level 4 Super String Warrior…
Is this some kind of joke?”
If the difficulty of this trial has been reduced due to the passage of time, does that mean that in the past, every mature body of the Insect Clan was a ‘legend’?
How is that possible?
“Perhaps…
it’s just because its technology is so far advanced, and the strength of the guards has never regressed…
But being a hero at maturity is also very terrifying!”
Jupiter narrowly dodged a strike from the giant pincers.
But at that moment, the other pincer of the Insect Clan guard opened, and an air cannon shot directly at him!
“Hero Anomaly!”
Jupiter took a deep breath, his body wrapped in electric light, and his speed instantly increased.
The two figures constantly tangled and battled.
In the end, Jupiter struck forcefully, the short sword shattered, and the Insect Clan guard was taken aback.
Seizing this opportunity, he opened his mouth wide and spat out a huge thunderbolt.
Crrack!
Green electrical light directly hit the guard, and sparks flickered chaotically.
Jupiter took advantage of the situation and grabbed the guard’s neck, firmly breaking it!
Beheaded!
The guard’s head turned 180 degrees, still attached to the body by a thread, the red glow still coming from its eyes, but the body was motionless.
“Huff, huff…”
Jupiter almost collapsed onto the ground, panting heavily, soaked in sweat.
The people below were also filled with dread.
Even a Level 4 hero barely made it through, the difficulty was too high.
If any of them had gone up, it would surely not have ended well.
Boom!
At this moment, the two rows of guards retreated, revealing a path.
“You wait here, I’ll go check…”
The others didn’t pass the test, so if they rashly entered, they might provoke an attack, Jupiter soberly said.
He walked alone past the two rows of guards, feeling fortunate that the Insect Clan’s original design did not distinguish between friend and foe.
Otherwise, if these two rows of guards attacked together, he wouldn’t have had enough lives to spare.
But at that time, the Insect Clan was the world’s hegemon, high above, and never thought that other races would invade here, let alone consider implanting identification programs or the like.
Jupiter, like a normal Insect Clan warrior, went through the ‘test’ and followed a path to the deepest part.
The bright light on both sides illuminated the middle of a black obsidian monument.
“Acute Angle Monument!”
Jupiter looked at the Acute Angle Monument and murmured to himself: “The teacher said that the Insect Clan’s Acute Angle Monument has thirteen sides, which can be read by the Insect Clan after the test.
This must be the most common one, I wonder what secrets are on it…”
He looked at the Acute Angle Monument, touching the inscriptions with his fingers, and became entirely engrossed.
“So…
this Acute Angle Monument is the origin of all Super String Warriors?”
“And from within the Insect Clan, there really are legends?”
“Path of Legend, I seem to understand a bit now…”
After a long time, Jupiter felt hungry and figured he must have been lost in thought for quite some time.
He walked back to the initial proving ground and saw Dimon and Tavia’s worried gaze.
“I’m fine!”
He smiled and said: “It seems…
we have to stay here for a while.”
The adventures along the way, combined with the insights from observing the Acute Angle Monument, made him feel as if there was a seed emerging from his heart.
All that’s needed now is time!
…
Homun – Qidun defense line.
It’s been three years since the beastmen moved southward.
Countless human and beastmen heroes have shed their blood on this defense line.@@novelbin@@
But the brutal war still has no intentions of stopping.
Heraclitus returned to the camp, frowning.
The last battle had produced too many wounded soldiers.
In this era, if you’re injured, it’s very difficult to recover.
If there’s an infection, it basically means death.
Even though he had been taught some simple disinfection and stitching techniques by the Turing Scholar, it was only slightly better than other camps.
Thinking back to the previous military conference, he looked gloomy.
Even the Royal Family had heard of Jupiter becoming a hero, but he didn’t appear in this war, which had led to many criticisms.
Let alone the fact that he sent the backbone of the Mercenary Guild to form an adventure team for his son, who had run off to an unknown location, weakening the power of the mercenaries for no reason.
Even internally, there was likely to be grievances.
‘I wonder how Jupiter is doing…’
Heraclitus looked north, his eyes filled with worry, ‘Even if he didn’t find anything, he should leave…
there’s no need to get involved in this battlefield…’
Only when you’re here do you realize how cruel the war is.
All etiquette and morality have been completely abandoned, and all kinds of measures are constantly emerging to maximize the damage to the opponent.
Just then, a faint unease spread from the entire camp.
The noise kept getting louder, and even the military law enforcement officers couldn’t suppress it.
“What happened?”
Seeing this, Heraclitus was startled and grabbed a running courier to ask.
The courier was middle-aged, his face pale, and his eyes filled with indescribable fear: “The beastmen…
the beastmen have appeared behind the lines!”
“What?!”
Heraclitus looked stunned, his right hand loosening involuntarily, allowing the courier to run off.
He didn’t bother with that, but just thought quickly: “Beastmen appearing behind the lines?
How is that possible?
The defence line hasn’t been breached yet!”
Although the defense line can’t cover everything, and it is possible to bypass it, at most it can only be like Jupiter’s team earlier, with a small-scale elite infiltration, but no more.
But that’s not how things work.
When two armies are in battle, and one is attacked from behind, morale plummets, and even if you’re not losing, you end up losing.
The turmoil in the camp at this moment was proof!
“I didn’t expect…
there to be sages among the beastmen too!”
Heraclitus couldn’t help but miss the Turing Scholar, hoping to hear his advice.
…
Not long after, a military officer arrived with a command for Heraclitus to attend the military conference.
Although there had been discussions before, a big event had now occurred and Heraclitus had to rush to the main camp.
Here, waves of generals had gathered, all of whom held real power.
Two rows of Royal Family Super String Warriors stood solemnly around, exuding a chilling aura.
“The chaos in the rear is a small matter, we mustn’t panic at this point!”
“Easy for you to say…
What about our land, our manors, and our slaves?”
“Leave it to the King!
After all, there are still soldiers in the rear.”
At this point, a young voice rang out, it was Prince Claudius of Terrin III!
He was young and vigorous, filled with the wisdom of a ruler, and made a direct decision: “Each battalion should send people to patrol, anyone who spreads rumors will be killed!
Also…
be prepared, the beastmen will surely seize this opportunity to launch a fierce attack!”
What do you think?
