Although it’s called a maze, the distance between each rock wall is quite far apart. This is to prevent the enemy from simply leaping over the maze walls, and the rear anti-aircraft positions ensure that enemies in the sky are effectively intercepted.

In addition, there are vast minefields, almost filling every corner near the military base. Only those "Hunters" who are qualified to venture out for resource gathering memorize their locations.

"The first wave of mines alone is enough to kill most of the Low Tier Blood Demons, and the rest will find it difficult to cross the fortified lines."

"Most of the soldiers are only responsible for calibrating the rear Fire Cannon and loading ammunition. At the forefront are the unmanned automatic weapons controlled by the Mechanician."

Chu Xiu saw atop the command post on the mountain, the Mechanician, with golden hair cascading like a waterfall, raise both hands, and a series of machine gun turrets controlled by a hydraulic system rose on the twenty-meter-high earthen city wall.

Under such circumstances, this first wave of attack should not cause casualties.

And as Chu Xiu predicted, with countless dark shadows flickering in the distant forest, the first wave of Blood Demon minions howled as they charged out of the woods, crawling on all fours and using the tentacles behind them, much like off-road vehicles speeding up to a hundred miles per hour!

"Boom!"

However, the foremost Blood Demon minions only took a few steps before the landmines blew off their legs. Immediately, the shrapnel from claymore mines struck their bodies, turning them into sieve-like nets in an instant. Nearby Blood Demon minions were also affected, some blown away by shockwaves, others pierced by shrapnel which created holes.

As deafening explosions echoed, the sky filled with flying limbs and flesh.

Yet this bloody and brutal scene did not hinder the charging Blood Demon minions in the slightest. None of them showed any fear as they rushed forward and sacrificed themselves, forcing their way across the land of death with their flesh and blood! 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

And this was far from over. The Blood Demon minions using their flesh to pave the way head-on were only part of the attack. More Blood Demons swung their tentacles, climbing and leaping quickly on all sides of the rock wall, some even rushing up the cliffs, trying to find a path from above.

With three hundred thousand Blood Demon minions charging together, their pale figures densely filled every corner of the valley, as if forming a white tide!

This astounding scene caused the soldiers observing from afar to reveal looks of fear.

Seeing these hideous and brutal creatures about to approach, the soldiers’ fear reached its peak. At this moment, the automated machine gun array began to roar, tracer bullets weaving an orange-red web of fire in the night sky, pouring the barrage like a violent rainstorm upon the Blood Demon Legion!

"Puff! Puff! Puff!"

The 12.7mm Armor-Piercing Bullets exploded into bowl-sized bloody holes in their chests, severing their tentacles entirely. Those figures jumping and climbing on the rock wall had not even gotten close before being shredded into pieces by the successive rain of steel.

At the same time, dazzling flashes erupted from the distant artillery positions, and one after another, 155mm howitzers fell like meteors into the Blood Demon minion horde, and the prefragmented shrapnel inflicted severe damage within a ten-meter radius, leaving the ground filled with blasted bodies relying on their strong Life Force to cling to life, howling continually.

This sight immediately elicited mountain-echoing cheers from the soldiers.

"Long live the Saintess!"

They shouted in unison.

"So that golden-haired Mechanician is the one they refer to as the Saintess?" Chu Xiu was a bit surprised because the woman was dressed in military green combat attire, her body and hands covered with paint and grime, a sharp smell of engine oil wafted from afar, which was hard to associate with the word ’Saintess.’

But upon closer inspection, it wasn’t strange. Her features were indeed very delicate, likely from the Far East, with extremely fair skin. Her golden hair, under the sunlight, had a hazy glow, like countless floating light particles scattered on flowing silk.

"This woman must be the ruler of this base."

Chu Xiu turned his gaze away.

Ten minutes later, the battle was essentially over, and as he expected, the vast majority of Blood Demons were eliminated before even approaching the city wall.

Teams of Awakened went out to sweep up the still-breathing Blood Demon minions, and Chu Xiu also flickered his body, joining the team.

Ironically, in the fiercest part of the battle, he did not move a muscle, yet now in the cleanup, he had work to do because the last strikes from these dying beasts could potentially harm his precious seeds of civilization.

And as expected, some Blood Demon minions ambushed from among the corpses, others feigned death in Concealment, suddenly springing up as the Awakened got close.

However, with Chu Xiu’s Divine Sense scanning and controlling the overall situation in advance, it turned out to be a safe ordeal with no casualties, only a few unfortunate fools got wounded.

The Awakened, having gained experience and leveled up, returned inside the city wall laughing and chatting, while the soldiers celebrated another victory.

Yet Chu Xiu remained frowning because he knew this assault was merely an insignificant probe. In fact, it was almost certain that the Blood Demons behind the attack intended for their subordinates to die, using their flesh to deplete the mines spread around the base city.

Once the mines, accumulated over a long time, are consumed, it’s practically impossible to replenish them in a short period. The ammunition reserves inside the base are also uncertain to support prolonged fire power delivery.
