Chapter 466 Advanced Energy
The center of the battlefield.

After a burst of intensive gunfire.

All the silver of the werewolf branch tribe fell.

The lieutenant colonel commander decisively commanded the 0555th Regiment to launch a counterattack. Except for some Reapers that were unable to chase and kill, the werewolves present were basically wiped out. The number of their own soldiers has been reduced from a full strength of before the attack to less than now. In fact, only half a day has passed.

In the fortification house, Jiang He used the Elemental Rope to tie up Prince Severis’s skeleton. When the power of gluttony started to work, the skeleton showed a slight decomposition.

His current status is immortal, so he wants to use gluttony to destroy the prince’s skeleton. Theoretically, he can do it, but it will take time to destroy it bit by bit.

Gluttony itself is at a very high level, but someone is still in his infancy and lacks strength and status.

“It is estimated that it will take about twelve days.”

Jiang He placed the prince’s skeleton on the gray warhorse. The famous spear Dali obviously had some kind of siphoning characteristics. This skeleton contained an extremely rich dark source of power. The weight of the mysterious realm made it difficult for it to enter the portable space or transfer space.

[Hint: You have absorbed the extraordinary factor and obtained the rare energy characteristic Darkness LV12]
[Executive Officer Exclusive Tip: When the energy properties – withering, corrosion, and darkness reach the same level, they can be catalyzed into dark erosion energy by the power of gluttony]
[Executive Officer Exclusive Tip: When the energy properties – Immortality, Burning, and Dawn reach the same level, they can be catalyzed into Shining Sun Energy by the power of Gluttony]
[Executive Officer Exclusive Tip: When the energy properties – blood poison and sin reach the same level, the power of gluttony can be catalyzed into sin poison energy]
[Tip: After the basic energy is fused, all the ultimate abilities of the original stage are inherited, and new advanced abilities are awakened]
Jiang He heard the prompt tone and looked normal.

The first path: currently darkness is still at a rare level and cannot achieve a fusion balance.

The second path, he has not yet been able to grasp the dawn.

The third path, blood poison and sin are both epic, exceeding his fusion limit.

Despite the difficulty of each, it is undeniable that Jiang He has a great interest in advanced energy, just like blood poison is not a simple toxin, but a fusion of blood and poison. The hell smallpox disease derived from this has played a significant role many times.

Outside the fortifications, the 0555th Regiment began to clean up the battlefield.

The lieutenant colonel walked straight in. After a simple bandage, the broken arm stopped bleeding. Only the dark power of the Werewolf Count still remained.

He took a quick look at the two people in the room. The girl looked quite familiar, not because of her stunning appearance, but because the status of the eldest daughter of the Yu family was too high in Cangwu Province. As for the other person, he seemed to be on equal footing with Yu Jianyue. He was either a young master from a superior family or a rare and powerful man.

“Thank you both for your help.”

The lieutenant colonel saluted hastily and said, “The military headquarters sent a telegram ordering our troops to wait for reinforcements and defend the Prince’s bones. The southern part of the Immortal Forest is in chaos right now. If we rush in rashly, we may fall into the enemy’s encirclement.”

The lieutenant colonel’s meaning was very clear. Now surrounding the prince’s skeleton, both sides were sending reinforcements and blocking enemy reinforcements. The 0555th Regiment had no intelligence about the overall direction of the war. The best option was to obey the orders of the military. Given the importance of the skeleton, the military would at least not completely sacrifice the 0555th Regiment.

Jiang He had no objection to holding on, as the chances of a large-scale active attack by the dark race were extremely rare. After this raid, after the military merits were converted up and down, his count-level military merits reached 9, among which several werewolves at the peak of silver level made great contributions.

Yu Jianyue said: “The prince’s bones are kept by my friend, and the two of us will stay to help you hold on.”

The lieutenant colonel was a little hesitant.

“If you have anything to say, report it directly to Lieutenant General Cangwu. I am not affiliated with the military. Let Lieutenant General Cangwu and the Yu family discuss the results and then inform me.”

Yu Jianyue was quite tough. Lieutenant General Cangwu was a hero-level warrior. If they were face to face, her attitude would naturally be more tactful. However, the other party was not present. Even if she really discussed the result with Yu and passed it to her, it would not happen in the next few days.

The lieutenant colonel looked helpless. He usually hated these aristocratic families the most.

Before the three of them could rest, dense blood-red flashes suddenly appeared on the hills to the west of the battlefield.

Boom boom boom!
A reorganized brigade of vampires arrived at the battlefield. They were the troops that sent out the Reapers. Thousands of Blood Rage Perfect Elemental Cannons were fired. The cannon light seemed to blend into the moonlight and descended on the position in an instant.

“Take cover!”

“The first battalion pushes forward to the west and establishes a defensive line!”

“Lieutenants, assemble and prepare to block the charge!”

A bloody cannon fell, and the explosion tore apart the bodies of several soldiers. After the shell exploded, a thick blood mist overflowed. More than a dozen soldiers were unable to dodge and were suddenly inhaled. They quickly turned into irrational beasts and launched a frenzied attack on friendly forces.

Da da da!
A barrage of energy gun fire was fired towards the western hills.

But the next moment, tens of thousands of rust cavalry swooped down, covering the mountains and plains, like a river bursting its banks and unstoppable. The special rust armor greatly reduced the penetration of the source force bombs. At the same time, the second round of bombing came, providing effective cover for the cavalry’s raid.

The lieutenant colonel regiment commander rushed to the front line to command the battle.

Yu Jianyue rolled into the trench skillfully. Her current life level was ordinary gold, which was quite good for her age. But even being the owner of a famous gun did not mean she could sit back and relax. In fact, the winter defeat happened just a few months ago.

“The colonel of a reorganized brigade is usually held by a gold elite, with a total number of 80,000 to 100,000. For the vampires, there are also special forces such as reapers, rust cavalry, butchers, etc.”

“In addition, the Blood Clan’s reorganized brigade arrived first, which means that the Empire’s blocking situation is not optimistic.”

A silver-grey revolver appeared in Jiang He’s palm. Five thousand silver energy points were consumed to create an energy bomb. The outer shell was made of the Yao element, so it appeared pure white. And because it was filled with blood poison and sin, the surface had bright red and gray-black patterns, and the appearance was exquisite.

When the energy bomb was loaded into the revolver cylinder, even though it had not been fired, Yu Jianyue next to him still felt a strong sense of danger.

After working with him for so long, she knew that this revolver could deliver the bullet directly into the target, achieving the miracle of hitting the target as soon as it was fired.

Objectively speaking, this is a special effect that only famous guns can have. If the current quality of the silver-gray revolver was not that high, Yu Jianyue would even suspect that someone was also the owner of a famous gun.

“Kill the vampire marquis who served as the brigade commander.”

“You follow the second shot.”

boom!
Jiang He sat in the trench and fired a shot into the sky.

Even though Yu Jianyue knew the characteristics of the revolver, she was still stunned. She quickly took out the famous gun Natural Enemy from the trench, added super hit, and fired a small Natural Enemy bullet.

boom!
Hills west of the battlefield.

The young-looking vampire marquis looked down at the battlefield with a calm smile on his face. He abandoned all his heavy weapons, stabbed the friendly forces in the back, and finally arrived first with light equipment. If nothing unexpected happened, after obtaining the prince’s skeleton and offering it to the Eternal Dark Red Moon, he could even take a step further, master more blood power, and greatly shorten the time required to reach the peak.

“All Silver Earls, step out!”

“Lead the butcher troops and charge forward to attack.”

As soon as he finished speaking, thousands of bloated, heavily-armored warriors stepped out, each holding a huge heavy sword in their hands. A dozen earls led the team forward. Although they had only a thousand people, their momentum completely overwhelmed the Rust Cavalry troops in front of them.

A hundred years ago, butchers were originally the exclusive type of soldiers of the Serifus clan. However, due to some changes, the various clans launched a siege on Serifus, and the butcher transformation technology was one of the compromises that Serifus had to make in order to preserve his bloodline.

Among the blood clan, only those above the Marquis level are qualified to know a piece of information – the ancestor of the Seriphos clan had completely perished a hundred years ago, and the Seventh Clan existed in name only.

boom!
The young marquis still smiled, but his golden heart suddenly exploded. The ultimate killing power reverberated inside his body, blood poison overflowed throughout his body, and sin corroded his soul. Without any preparation, death came suddenly.

The realm shattered and life revived.

The moment the young marquis regained consciousness, his expression was filled with fear. A bullet filled with the power of dawn was close at hand, and the timing was so close that it was as if he was facing a natural enemy.

Bang!
The natural enemy bullet shattered his head.

When the vampire marquis died, panic-stricken noise suddenly broke out in the brigade. The golden earls quickly withdrew from the sight of the enemy’s position, but the fatal gunshots continued to ring in their ears.

Bang bang bang!
Fourteen consecutive instant bullets consumed a total of fourteen thousand energy points and killed nine ordinary gold vampires. Four of them had no domains and were killed with one shot.

Bang bang bang!
The sound of gunfire that sounded like a death judgment completely interrupted the offensive deployment of the Blood Brigade. When the Golden Earl’s army was completely wiped out, the hunt for the Silver Earl began immediately. A pair of pure white cold eyes seemed to lock onto the weak prey behind the battlefield.

The hill fell into deathly silence. A Silver Earl crawled cautiously, and then his abdomen exploded without warning, as if hit by a heavy hammer, and his tough internal organs were mixed into a ball. He lowered his head in horror, only to see blood gushing out from between his fingers. In just a moment, his body collapsed like a puppet with its strings cut, and endless darkness drowned his consciousness.

Da da da!
A Silver Earl could not bear the increasingly terrifying pressure. He stood on the hill and fired wildly, but suddenly he felt a sharp pain in his chest as if he was hit by a heavy artillery. His body fell backward uncontrollably, hit the turret and bounced straight down. He gasped for breath but could not breathe in, and his consciousness quickly dissipated in the pain.

The Silver Earls died one after another.

The war has stopped. Even the soldiers of the 0555th Regiment who are holding on to the battlefield do not feel the slightest joy at the sudden death of the enemy. Faced with the mysterious and terrifying unknown, fear follows them like a shadow.

Some vampires counted silently in endless fear.

A total of one hundred and twenty gunshots killed one hundred and twenty Silver Earls without missing a single one, and someone consumed a total of twenty-four thousand energy points.

In less than half a minute, all the high-ranking officers of the vampire brigade were killed, their fighting spirit suffered a devastating blow, a rout broke out, and the deserters ran in all directions.

……

Position trenches.

Jiang He took a look at his remaining energy point of only 14000 points and chose to put away his gun and rest. If his contribution in defeating the Blood Clan Brigade was taken into account, his Marquis’s military merits had reached 2.5.

Yu Jianyue looked at the scene on the opposite hill, was silent for a moment, and said: “Is there really no restriction at all?”

Jiang He remained silent. The Momentary Echo was one of his greatest gains in the World of Ashes, and it was also a manifestation of the power of the Sinner. With the blessing of many factors, taking both numbers and mechanisms into consideration, if it weren’t for the fact that Extraordinary Shooting necessarily required energy, he alone could decide the outcome of the Dali battle.

After some time had passed, Gluttony’s devouring of the prince’s skeleton caused the properties of the dark energy to rise by two small levels.

The lieutenant colonel came in hurriedly and said sincerely, “Thanks to you two, I thought I would die on the battlefield this time.”

Yu Jianyue smiled and said, “Master, why don’t you speak frankly?”

The lieutenant colonel scratched his head and said, “Then I will tell you clearly that I intend to give up the leadership of the 0555th Regiment. The prince’s skeleton is not in my hands, and someone will definitely hold me accountable after the war. Now that the werewolf earl has cut off one of my arms, I can take this opportunity to escape.”

This ambush gave the lieutenant colonel commander hope of surviving until the end of the war. He did not intend to deceive the two men, but he also did not want to continue to stay in the muddy water. The best strategy was to protect himself.

Yu Jianyue looked at someone, but she was not in a position to make a decision for the other person.

“Okay.” Jiang He said, “Only if you continue to take actual command. I don’t know anything about the 0555th Regiment.”

The lieutenant colonel agreed readily.

Jiang He simply took out a fortress model. After unfolding it, this Immortal-level prop turned into a real giant castle, directly covering the surrounding core battlefield.

For a time, the earth shook.

——The Undying Fortress·Ancient Oath.

The soldiers of the 0555th Regiment stood in the center of the castle, looking up with blank expressions. The hundred-meter-high wall stretched for nearly ten kilometers, making it a towering and fortified city.

But the style of the fortress was not flattering. The smell of blood and decay was surging in the air. On the stone slabs on the ground, dried blood was piled up in layers, showing a dark black and red color. In the irregular blood puddles, tiny pieces of flesh and broken fingers were floating.

The city walls were thick, with hundreds of perfect skeleton cannons mounted between the battlements on each side. The surface of the walls seemed to be embedded with countless hideous faces. In the center of the fortress stood a huge iron statue with a hollow belly and a faint wailing sound. The “Cellar of the Dead” inside could transform undead sentinels.

And at the top of the iron statue is the Skeleton Attic.

Jiang He walked up to the attic. There were hills to the west of the fortress, the Eternal Forest to the north, and endless plains to the south and east.

With a slight wave of his hand, the hellish smallpox disease swept out. Thousands of corpses rotted across the battlefield, breeding a thick fog-like swarm of blood flies, which swarmed into every corner of the fortress.

Yu Jianyue came to the other side and realized that this was a place full of wars. He couldn’t help but ask: “Can you hold it?”

“A Duke-level creature is attacking, and we can’t defend a single point.” Jiang He answered truthfully, “But if the Duke can reach the center of the battlefield without being stopped, it means that the Dali War Empire is not far from defeat.”

Yu Jianyue shook her head, picked up the wine barrel and drank the water. The fact that she was in possession of a famous gun was not known to Yu. If she was defeated, she would just reveal her identity as the gunman on the spot. The value of the gun would at least prevent herself from being killed.
