MMORPG: War God, You are Invincible Again-Chapter 596 - 84 Assault on Luo Ze

After ending the magic communication, Nuoshan knocked urgently on Lu Hong’s door.

"Who is it?" Lu Hong snapped out of his meditation, and before he could even get out of bed, Nuoshan kicked the door open and barged in: "Hurry, come with me!"

"What happened?"

"Dongsheng has been conquered by the Netherworld, and I fear great trouble looms in the north as well. We must make preparations in advance." Nuoshan pulled Lu Hong back into the secret room.

"Initiate a communication request with the Holy Court Headquarters. I need you to maintain the communication for at least three minutes, no matter what!"

"Thy will be done!" Seven space mages took a deep breath, each downing three large bottles of top-grade magic power recovery potions before joining forces to call out to the Holy Court Headquarters far away in the Eagle Alliance.

In the meantime, Nuoshan explained to Lu Hong: "The best power to counter the Netherworld is the Holy Light profession, so you’ll have to persuade Jin Fu. In recent years, the conflicts of interest between the Holy Court and the seats of nobility within the alliance have grown severe. Only you can handle this matter."

After quickly grasping the current situation, Lu Hong established a magic communication with Jin Fu.

Jin Fu was groggy on the other end, obviously just roused from sleep. Scowling and still with his eyes not fully open, he demanded from across the view: "What matter warrants Duke Nuoshan disturbing me in the middle of the night?"

"Jin Fu, look sharply, it’s me!" Lu Hong couldn’t understand what the Holy Court had been up to these years to cause conflicts with the alliance nobility, but he knew that being more forceful would most likely avoid error.

"You... You’re the Duke?!"

"Don’t waste time! The Netherworld is invading the Dongsheng plane cluster; quickly lead eight hundred thousand Holy Court elites for support."

Upon hearing Lu Hong’s lion-sized demand, Jin Fu, looking utterly mournful, said: "Where do I find so many elites? Brother, don’t mess with me. At most, I can only pull together thirty thousand elites, and twenty-eight thousand at the Second Transition Late Stage..."

"Agreed!" Before Jin Fu could finish speaking, Lu Hong had readily accepted his offer.

Feeling as if he had fallen into the other’s calculated trap, Jin Fu looked at Lu Hong with mournful eyes: "Big brother, Duke Nuoshan is there beside you, isn’t he?"

"What’s it to you, muster the troops now! If the empire falls to the Netherworld, the Holy Court won’t escape death either."

Jin Fu sighed and said: "Big brother, you may not know, the Netherworld has already launched multiple attacks on our Holy Court, and internally we’ve suffered heavy losses..."

But before Jin Fu could finish, the magic vision collapsed due to the spellcasters’ insufficient magic power.

The seven space mages were pale and collapsed to the ground, on the verge of fainting.

Nuoshan didn’t blame them, instead, he administered a restorative magic potion, then entered the combat command center with Lu Hong.

With the issuing of the command, all the soldiers in rest began to rally in full array, awaiting their orders.

Duke Nuoshan stared at the map of the northern border within the command center, and combining the information relayed from spies over these days, he continuously simulated all possible military actions of the Netherworld forces in his mind. After a long while, Nuoshan pointed to three major northern planes and said: "Luo Ze, Korilov, and Quanqing. These three planes take priority. They will be the starting points of the nether catastrophe!"

Now was not the time for listening to explanations; Lu Hong immediately had Questasa find a way to communicate with the governors of these three planes, and after receiving their affirmative response, the two sides established a temporary one-way teleportation channel.

But just as they prepared to teleport, Nuoshan interrupted: "Take my starship instead, there might be an ambush behind this teleportation gate."

"Do you mean the governors of these three planes have all been controlled by the Netherworld?" Lu Hong was taken aback, his face immediately becoming solemn.

"What else?" Nuoshan said: "If they weren’t controlled how could the nether catastrophe commence from these three planes?"

Nuoshan had come to the north this time not only to bring a batch of spies to investigate but also to introduce three giant interstellar battleships; the latest research product of the Nuoshan family, with their own space jump capabilities to significantly shorten travel time across the Star Sea.

"Send a message to those three planes, tell them the Second Town has encountered an emergency, to guard the teleportation gate, and to await our transport." freeweɓnøvel~com

As they spoke, the gigantic interstellar battleships swept over the skies of the Second Town. A hundred thousand soldiers could not fill even one of the ships.

These ships were immense but also incredibly costly to operate; activating them would mean expenses counted in vast quantities of Crystal Stone.

"We’ll attack Luo Ze first when we get there. This plane is rich in Crystal Stone production, which can replenish our ship’s resources. We’re working with very few available troops for the northern chaos this round; we must request additional manpower from Konstantin."

Indeed, for a large plane, a hundred thousand people entering wouldn’t make much of an impact.

The battleship set sail towards Luo Ze, and Lu Hong, full of worry, sought guidance from Nuoshan: "If the civilians in this plane and those in the Second Town are all controlled by the Netherworld, then what? Do we kill them all?"

"Kill!" Nuoshan’s response was straightforward.

"But..."

"Great achievers can’t be bothered with trifles, and those in high positions need not be hamstrung by such matters. Can an enemy really threaten an emperor into suicide just by kidnapping some civilians? Your kindness towards those controlled civilians amounts to negligence of your own soldiers’ lives. Kid, this is war, not child’s play. In any era, war always results in death!"

Nuoshan’s reply was clear, telling Lu Hong to abandon impractical fantasies. Sacrifice was inevitable; it was only a matter of what was worth sacrificing for.

"The population of Luo Ze is 1.8 billion. There are 18 cities, and countless small towns and settlements. Our target is Shanglin City, where the governing officials are located. It’s where a large concentration of troops is gathered, most likely the main forces of the Netherworld in this plane." Nuoshan handed over the intelligence about Luo Ze to Lu Hong, "Take a look. If you have any questions, ask now. Once we’re in Luo Ze, we must strike fast and hard, giving the Netherworld no chance to catch their breath. Even an army of a hundred thousand could be surrounded and slaughtered by the enemy if we’re not careful!"

After reading the intelligence on Luo Ze, Lu Hong nodded, "I’ll lead the charge."

With the starship engines at full throttle, they arrived above the plane of Luo Ze in less than half a day.

"Report, precise positioning above Shanglin City confirmed. Shall we now descend?"

"Proceed," Nuoshan commanded in a low growl, "Everyone, contain your magic power fluctuations as much as possible to reduce resistance from the plane’s crystal wall!"

"The starship is about to descend. Countdown begins for arrival above Shanglin City!"

Lu Hong summoned the War Holy Sword, standing resolutely at the ship’s bow.

"3!"

"2!"

"1!"

As the countdown ended, the starship plummeted fiercely, breaking into the plane.

Watching the grain-sized Shanglin City rapidly enlarging, Lu Hong took a deep breath, readying his power for sudden deployment.

Shanglin City too was thrown into chaos by the sudden intrusion of the starship, and of course, the Luo Ze officials weren’t foolish, quickly mobilizing their strong to prevent the starship’s fall.

In an instant, a giant skull ghost face formed from the Netherworld’s signature purple-black magic power, confronting the starship.

It was indeed the Netherworld’s forces!

"The Extreme!"

"Flash!"

Lu Hong furiously drew his Holy Sword.

In a flash, one strike encompassed heaven and earth.

The skull ghost face split in two, spellcasters from the Netherworld who had jointly cast the skill, simultaniously coughed up blood.

The next second, fierce Sword Qi slashed across Shanglin City, shattering the yet to be activated city defense array in an instant, rendering it no longer a threat.

When the starship stopped abruptly at three thousand meters above Shanglin City, the hundred-thousand-strong army quickly arrived on the ground with the help of the portal, fully prepared for battle.

Lu Hong leaped from the sky, landing in front of the troops. At this point, the Netherworld’s vanguard inside Shanglin City had already assembled, facing off against each other, with war about to erupt.

Without wasting words, Lu Hong remembered Nuoshan’s advice, to seize every moment, to never be caught in the enemy’s encirclement.

"Kill!"

Lu Hong switched to the Blood Holy Sword, and the Heaven Slaying Skill was abruptly activated.

With a surge of intense life force, the overwhelming Blood Sword slashed towards the vanguard of the Netherworld.

Facing such a terrifying attack, the Netherworld vanguard hastily released magic power to summon a dark nether-magic barrier.

The Blood Sword struck, hitting the barrier and unleashing a deafening boom, with raging waves of energy rolling tumultuously.

With one strike, the barrier shattered, with a portion of the Netherworld vanguard dying instantly and the majority severely wounded, their faces filled with terror.

The might of the Holy Sword remained as terrifying as ever!
