Global Game: Ten Billion Spirit Energy Coins From The Start

Chapter 849: 905, Battle of the Spring Eye in the Alps (Part 1)

Pu Langte’s face looked grim because the war had not developed as he had anticipated.

According to his original plan, the base’s defending army needed only to achieve one thing, which was—to hold out for three hours.

After three hours, reinforcements would arrive, and at that time, the addition of a Skuru God-level force to the battle would immediately reverse the tide of the war!

However, based on the current situation, the base likely wouldn’t last three hours before being breached, which was why his expression was so ghastly.

To ensure that the base’s defending army could hold out for three hours, the previous Skuru expeditionary force had made extensive preparations.

Currently, there were three Seventh Order cultivators and as many as fifty Sixth Order cultivators in the base.

The base’s various defense installations, such as anti-matter rail cannons, laser ray generators, Psychic Beam Emitters, and so on, had all been charging for a long time and could exert their maximum lethality.

Langqi had calculated that if all the defense installations’ power was set to maximum without regard for the cost, holding the base for three hours would be absolutely no problem.

But who would have thought that the Blue Star Humans seemed a bit too ferocious this time!

This time, the overall strength of the Blue Star cultivators had increased several times compared to the last.

The last time the Blue Star cultivators attacked Spring Eye was about two months ago, when, besides Prime Minister Cao Cao, there were only five at Seventh Order and a mere thirty to forty at Sixth Order.

But this time, there were as many as nine at Seventh Order on Blue Star, with Cat Morning Star, Su Yu, and Alyssa all at the peak of Seventh Order, and more than 200 cultivators at Sixth Order!

Moreover, the morale of the Blue Star Sixth Order cultivators was exceptionally high, on one hand, inflamed by Pu Langte’s recent provocation, and on the other, in pursuit of a higher Spiritual Energy quota.

The strength of the Blue Star cultivators was much greater than expected, and that was the fundamental reason for the failure of their plan this time.

…

For the Skrull people, the only good news might be that the magic power of Cat Morning Star was about to be exhausted.

The energy consumption of Cat Morning Star’s [Star Rainbow Focus] ability was quite terrifying.

Although the created light spots could burst out with twice the damage, energy did not come from nothing; 75% of the extra damage came from the “accumulation effect” of the light spots, while the remaining 25% required Morning Star to supplement with her own magic power.

So after the light spots of [Star Rainbow Focus] exploded dozens of times, Cat Morning Star’s mana was completely depleted, giving the Skrulls some breathing space.

But even with Morning Star’s loss of combat ability, the base’s defenses could not hold for much longer, and Pu Langte, high in the sky, understood he had to do something.

Pu Langte’s mech burst into prismatic light, temporarily forcing Prime Minister Cao Cao to retreat.

Seizing this opportunity, he used a sound transmission to contact the base’s commander—Spiritual Master Skat at Seventh Order.

“Skat, given the current situation the base most likely won’t hold for three hours, notify the core members of Sixth Order and above in the base to be ready to retreat at any moment,” he said.

“Understood,” the commander struggling to support the forcefield shield in the base responded.

Skat glanced at the raging main force of Blue Star in front of him and then at his subordinates beside him, who were exhausted, and conveyed the orders to a few key individuals nearby using sound transmission.

Then he replied back to Pu Langte, “Lord Pu Langte, I have issued the orders and will immediately initiate the base’s self-destruct protocol.

At the moment we abandon base 0008, all buildings and defense weapons within will automatically be destroyed to prevent them from falling into the hands of the Blue Star People.”

Pu Langte praised, “Hmm, you’ve done well.”

Skat continued to raise concerns, “Then what about us officers below the Fifth Rank and the ordinary soldiers, Lord Pu Langte?”

“This…” Pu Langte pondered for a moment before replying, “Well, if the base falls, have them gather in the square, drop their weapons, and surrender. The Blue Star people, in their effort to produce ammunition for the resistance organizations, like to do something they call ‘treating prisoners well’.

After their surrender, we can find an opportunity to ransom them back.”

“Understood.”

After ending the telepathic conversation with Pu Langte, Commander Skat relayed the orders down through the ranks of officers.

However, during the communication process, some unexpected incidents occurred.

Cultivators above the Sixth Order showed little reaction to the orders. They all knew they wouldn’t be able to hold out for three hours and were prepared to flee.

After all, the base wasn’t far from the Space Cracks.

But the officers and soldiers of the Fifth Rank and below immediately went into an uproar, and the noise of their protests was incessant.

Noting the sudden commotion in the military ranks, Skat turned to his recently returned adjutant, Lieutenant Rykuminsk, to inquire, “Lieutenant Rykuminsk, what’s going on with the troops below?”

Lieutenant Rykuminsk had just gone to investigate the cause of the disturbance and promptly responded, “Commander, the troops are unwilling to surrender to the Blue Star people, hence the considerable dissatisfaction following the order’s issuance.”

“Unwilling to surrender? Impossible, what’s the reason?” Commander Skat couldn’t believe it as he looked down at the troops below.

Skat and the troops of the base belonged to the Lun Kete Alliance, and the most notable trait of Lun Kete Alliance soldiers was that they were motivated by money, not possessing the fearless and aggressive spirit of the Imperial Raging Sun forces.

To speak frankly, most of the soldiers had joined the army for the high salary and on the battlefield, they certainly wouldn’t think about “fighting to the death for honor.”

But now the soldiers were refusing to surrender? What was going on, they shouldn’t have such a strong will to fight, should they?

Lieutenant Rykuminsk hastily explained, “Commander, the main reason is a previous error in the propaganda, which led to the soldiers forming incorrect beliefs about surrendering.”

“The propaganda, where did it go wrong?”

“It’s like this…” Lieutenant Rykuminsk took quite a bit of effort to fully explain the cause of the situation.

As Commander Skat listened, he began to understand what was happening.

Essentially, it was all a considerable mistake in propaganda.

Skat, Pu Langte, and the other high-ranking officers were all aware that the Blue Star people wouldn’t mistreat prisoners and that surrender would be fine, but the ordinary soldiers didn’t know this!

The messages the ordinary soldiers usually received were that “the Blue Star people particularly like to humiliate prisoners” and “only half the soldiers ever make it out of Blue Star prisoner of war camps alive, and even then, they’re maimed, missing limbs.”

When the soldiers are bombarded with such news every day, of course, they would refuse to surrender to Blue Star Humans, which is also the current reason for the instability of military morale.

With unstable military morale, their combat effectiveness naturally plummeted quickly.

Outside the force field shield, Su Yu and the other Blue Star cultivators were unaware of what was happening inside, but they all noticed a small drop in the Skrulls’ defense capabilities.

The Blue Star cultivators quickly seized this opportunity to launch a strong offensive.

Su Yu brought out his treasured [Simian War God Statue].

The powerful amplification was converted into immense damage, causing cracks to form on the force field shield.
