Apocalypse - Infinite Resource System
Chapter 392: Siege
The World Channel is not stable yet, and the gods will need two more days to arrive.
The messenger spoke slowly, "The gods have instructed me to tell you that the most powerful human on the surface world is a man named Waldo. He is the same person who once came to our world and slaughtered the terrifying deity. It was he who destroyed our army of fifty thousand. Therefore, you must be extremely cautious of him!"
"Your main task is to move secretly to a place called Dawn City. Waldo is located within Dawn City."
"Understood!"
Hodgson nodded.
Soon, the army of sea giants set sail towards Dawn City. Meanwhile, all around the world, world channels gradually began to appear.
People kept discovering them, and the armies of sea giants kept emerging from them.
Three days later, at least a million sea giants had arrived on the surface world through various world channels.
At noon on that day, the demigods from the underwater world also emerged from the stabilized Gold City world channel.
"At last, we are back."
"Waldo, Dawn City, prepare for your destruction!"
"Our million-strong army has arrived on the surface world. Dawn City, prepare for annihilation!"
The second and fifth war generals, among others, roared loudly.
These past few days, they had been bearing the wrath of the main gods, and their frustration was palpable.
Now, they couldn’t wait to destroy Dawn City immediately.
In these days, they had also learned that the person who had come to the underwater world initially was named Waldo.
He was the supreme commander of Dawn City, the most powerful force in the world.
And the one who had killed their fifty thousand-strong army was also Waldo!
The name made all the sea giants grind their teeth!
Dawn City.
Alanna, Helen, Silva, Calvert, Stanley, and others gathered for an emergency meeting.
They hadn’t slept for several days, but their high levels allowed them to endure.
If they were ordinary people, they might have already succumbed.
The reason for their sleepless nights was due to some very bad news they had received.
World channels were appearing all over the globe, not just the one in the eastern seas near Dawn City. And many of these new world channels were beyond the range of missiles.
Currently, the longest-range missile in Dawn City has a maximum range of 2000 kilometers.
Alanna’s face turned serious as she said, "Three days ago, Gold City was destroyed, and only five sea giants attacked them. This shows how terrifying the combat strength of the sea giants is. If we leave Dawn City, we won’t stand a chance against them."
Helen nodded and said, "What we can do now is defend. If they dare to approach, we’ll use missiles to deplete their forces."
"In fact, we don’t need to worry too much. Dawn City’s walls are very high, and the sea giants can only launch a frontal assault. Once they do, their casualties will be quite significant. Moreover, their gods won’t dare to act recklessly. They know the strength of our Lord and won’t make any hasty moves."
"However, we must hold the city. If the city falls, they will definitely discover that our Lord is in seclusion, and then, we might cause trouble for our Lord! We must defend Dawn City, no matter what!"
The others spoke in turn.
Subsequently, they discussed the strategies for what comes next.
The army of sea giants from the underwater world has already reached the surface. Through reconnaissance by robots and drones, their numbers are in the millions. The sea giants generally have stronger capabilities than the survivors, so they can only focus on defense.
Time continued to pass.
One sea giant army after another swept across the globe. They crossed snow-capped mountains, slaughtered snow creatures, and raced toward Dawn City, getting closer with each passing moment.
Their momentum was fierce, like hungry wolves.
At that moment, they suddenly noticed drones hovering overhead.
"What is this?" someone shot down these drones and examined them carefully.
It was soon determined that these were technological products of the surface humans.
"What could these little gadgets do? Do they think they can attack us with this? It’s ridiculous," someone scoffed.
However, at that very moment, countless dragons appeared in the sky, and the booming sounds reverberated throughout the heavens. The entire sky trembled.
As if in the next second, the sky seemed as though it might collapse.
Immediately, many people turned pale.
"Oh no! These are the surface humans’ missiles! We are now within their attack range!"
"Take cover!" the crowd shouted loudly. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚
Then, explosions echoed through the skies.
Countless sea giants wailed. Their formidable bodies appeared fragile and easily melted by the missiles.
In an instant, the missiles rained down like a storm, turning the entire area of the sea giant army into a sea of fire. Innumerable giants met a gruesome end.
The same situation occurred in other legions and groups as well. They first discovered the surface reconnaissance drones from Dawn City in mid-air, and then a barrage of missiles followed.
The first wave of strikes caused significant damage to the sea giant legions. However, the sea giants were already prepared, and subsequent missile attacks had little effect.
The message reached the second and fifth war generals, who immediately issued orders.
For those within the missile strike range of Dawn City, each legion dispatched reconnaissance teams. As soon as they spotted unmanned reconnaissance drones, they were to shoot them down or hide to avoid detection.
"Put on your snow gear, don’t find it troublesome. This way, we can evade their notice!"
A series of orders were given.
Soon, the sea giants donned their white clothing, blending into the snowy terrain.
They proceeded more cautiously and had designated individuals on constant lookout for unmanned reconnaissance drones in the sky. As soon as one was spotted, they were shot down from a distance.
This made it much harder for Dawn City to trace the movements of the giant legions. However, it also meant that if any legion was inadvertently discovered, they would face a barrage of hundreds of missiles at great cost.
In this cat-and-mouse game, more and more sea giant armies gathered near Dawn City. At this point, missiles were no longer very effective.
Simultaneously, there was also bad news. The missile units stationed outside Dawn City had been discovered. To prevent the missile vehicles from falling into the hands of the giants, they detonated all the missiles and perished alongside them.
On this day, heavy snow fell, covering the world in white, a silvery landscape.
The raging winds swept through the snow-covered plains, showing no restraint.
Dawn City found itself enveloped in a heavy atmosphere, an invisible pressure weighing down on every survivor.
