Cataclysm King

Chapter 576: War Begins (Thanks to the leader 'Maoni's Night')
a few days later.

In the coalition's command post deep in the mountains, King Augustus Chujiu, the representative of the New World Dong Qi, the leader of the Rebel Dragon Army "Fader" Griffith, the Commander-in-Chief of the Alliance Army Catalina, the leader of the Revolutionary Army "Anti-French" Long Yu. Even Ji Xun, a non-staff member, sat at the round table.

The top leaders of the coalition forces gathered together, all looking solemn.

Because just now, the artillery positions on the side of the Oran Royal Court suddenly stopped attacking.

At the same time, three huge nine-pointed star god patterns appeared silently in the sky.

One main, twice.

The divine patterns are silver, black and colorful.

They were pointing to the moon goddess Arachne, the elemental king Lagros, and the mysterious worm queen Karakta.

The video display projected this strange scene into the command room, and everyone felt a suffocating sensation as if they were being watched by three gods' eyes.

"Everyone, the Orlan royal family has completed the sacrificial ceremony for the three foreign gods. They should launch a general attack tonight."

"In this situation, the only way out is to fight to the death. If the Orlan Royal Court is allowed to wipe out the Eastern Wasteland, the future of the Kashi civilization will surely be in dire straits."

"Yes. Now that King Arthur has been completely contaminated by the Mark of the Tyrant, the resurrection of the three Outer Gods seems to be beyond his control. This may be our last chance to solve this problem."

"Yes. According to the current situation, everyone should be prepared for hand-to-hand combat in case the Jilan Line of Defense is destroyed. The enemy's number is ten times that of ours, so everyone should make use of the terrain of the canyon as much as possible. I will lead the coalition mechanical corps to block the enemy's main corps, and the rest depends on you."

"The right wing will be taken care of by Mr. Long Yu and the Revolutionary Army. The left wing will be taken care of by General Dong of the New World."

"it is good!"

"."

Everyone's expressions were serious, and no one backed down from their words.

Everyone knows that this is a crucial turning point battle that will determine the fate of East Wilderness and even the fate of the Kashi civilization.

Ji Xun sat in the corner and didn't interrupt.

The content of this meeting has actually been discussed many times before.

The several senior coalition leaders present here all possess outstanding war command abilities. The combat plans they formulated are rigorous and professional and there are no problems with them.

Ji Xun thought more about things other than war.

The picture in his mind at this moment was an overlooking of a battlefield sand table. From an observer's perspective, he saw both sides deploying their troops and about to start a battle.

Ji Xun didn't know when he had acquired this "observer's perspective" ability.

But it feels great.

It was as if it allowed him to see the operation of this war from a higher dimension.

However, even in the current situation, he still feels that the outcome of the battle between the two sides is uncertain.

It was this uncertainty that made his thoughts run faster and faster.

This was a war that was destined to go down in history, which gave Ji Xun a very strange feeling. It was as if he was in the torrent of the times, and he clearly felt the force of being pushed forward by the torrent of the times.

Powerful and irreversible.

Ji Xun couldn't describe this feeling clearly before, but now he vaguely understands that this is the essence of the extraordinary promotion ceremony - the rules of the universe.

That thrust is the manifestation of the laws of the universe in war.

It is also a torrent of many sequence laws.

Prophecy, wisdom, war, kingship, death, order, peace, plague, cruelty, love, healing, divine power, elements.
Almost all the cosmic rules that need to be comprehended in order to reach the highest level on the thirteen divine paths can be seen in this war.

This was the clearest time Ji Xun had ever seen a card master understand the operation of the rules of the universe.

Not just to himself.

This is a crisis for everyone, but it is also a turning point in destiny and a great opportunity to elevate extraordinary power.

War creates heroes.

It’s like the world has already set the stage, waiting for the actors to make their grand entrance.

The stage is not subject to personal will, but actors can perform to their heart's content. Even if life is frozen on the stage, it will be the focus of everyone's attention under the spotlight.

As he thought about it, Ji Xun fell into a mysterious state of deep thought like a chess player, his eyes frequently flashing with a deep luster that others could not understand.

For some reason, he felt an indescribable excitement sweeping through his body.

Clown, love this stage.

I could clearly hear my own breathing next to my ears.

Just like before going on stage in the circus, Ji Xun always took a few deep breaths.

The same is true now.

Because he knows,
I'm going to go on stage.

Ji Xun sat there expressionlessly. Although he didn't say a word, he attracted everyone's attention.

Long Yu understood the excitement of countless demons being released from his silence and was slightly surprised;
And close friends like Chujiu, Dongqi, and Catalina all felt a familiar feeling, as if they were back to the time when they first knew each other, the guy with the conflict between reason and madness;
Griffith, the card master of the highest level, saw the threads of rules lingering around Ji Xun, and a look of surprise flashed across his crystal eyes.

She knew that this guy had realized something extraordinary.

However, this delicate atmosphere did not last long.

"Oh!"

Just as the final tactics were being discussed in the conference room, there was a sudden crisp sound and the ground cracked.

At the same time, the entire conference room shook violently.

"earthquake!"

The divine power consumed by this large-scale earthquake was extraordinary. It was definitely not a test, but a general attack launched by Oran.

The earthquake became louder and louder, and even the rock wall inside the command post began to drop rocks.

"Everyone, prepare to fight!"

"it is good!"

Without any delay, everyone responded and dispersed quickly.

In a blink of an eye, Ji Xun and Chu Jiu were the only ones sitting at the huge round table.

The two nodded and prepared to leave.

At this time, Chujiu seemed to have thought of something and suddenly asked, "What did you think of?"

She was the direct descendant of Augustus and knew more than anyone else.

She knew that Ji Xun saw a lot of things that others couldn't see.

Ji Xun said calmly: "I think, if this is the last time I dance on the stage, then what should I perform for the world."

The corners of his mouth were slightly raised when he spoke, but there was no sign of a smile.

"."

Chujiu listened to this and looked at Ji Xun's face with a playful smile, as if he was looking directly into the eyes of the devil JOKER.

After a moment's silence, she suddenly made a suggestion that seemed out of place in the atmosphere before the battle: "Then I'll dance with you."

His tone was as calm as ever.

Ji Xun stood up, straightened the wrinkles on his suit, bowed politely and extended his hand, smiling and inviting: "Can I invite the beautiful Majesty Chujiu to dance with me?"

"it is good."

Chujiu readily agreed and put his hand on it.

Ji Xun snapped his fingers, and cheerful dance music sounded in the huge command post.

It was the first time for the two to dance together, and their coordination was a little uncoordinated, but they quickly adapted.

Ji Xun put his arms around Chujiu's slender waist, his eyes revealing an aggressive and teasing look.

There was no strange expression on Chujiu's cold and arrogant face.

As the earthquake became more intense, the two people's dance steps became more lively.

"This poker game is 'Enemy at the Gate.' If possible, I would end it with 'King vs. King.'"

"Arthur has reached the ninth level." "Yes. I have sensed it."

"."

Ji Xun knew that everyone else could retreat, except Chujiu.

As King Augustus, there must be a result.

She has realized that between her and King Arthur, only one of them can survive.

The same is true for the Oran Royal Court. Anyone can be let go, but this competitor for the throne must die.

This seemingly cold but kind-hearted girl has never been good at expressing herself with words. Inviting her to dance was probably a final farewell.

She couldn't guarantee that she would survive the war.

Because Ji Xun could understand, he did not try to persuade her. He looked at that cold and pretty face, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

It seemed as if I understood something from this silent farewell.

The girl was reserved and reserved, but Ji Xun was not.

He danced with his arms around Chujiu's slender waist and suddenly stopped.

The pair of big hands slid down from the waist and held the tight and perky buttocks without any hesitation. The posture was already very intimate.

Although the two of them usually don't shy away from almost everything, and it's not the first time they have had physical contact, but the previous ones were just accidents, but this time was different.

"."

Chujiu raised his eyebrows and glanced at him, frowning slightly.

This subtle change in expression did not seem to indicate displeasure, but just discomfort.

But then he relaxed, as if he had agreed.

Seeing this, Ji Xun grinned and said, "Live well."

Chujiu listened, thought about it, and said "hmm".

The earthquake was becoming more and more intense, and the dance music was also interrupted by the intensive enemy attack alarms in the communicator, so it was impossible to continue dancing.

Unfortunately, at this moment, a psychic formation suddenly appeared in the air, and a mysterious man wearing a high priest's cloak suddenly stepped out.

It was Nan Jing who had been in the underworld for a long time.

The girl with the ball-shaped hair happened to see the two people hugging and dancing, but she didn't feel embarrassed at all. She just said with a sly light in her crystal eyes: "Ah, did I come back at the wrong time?"

Chujiu still had the same expression as usual.

It's not that she was pretending to be calm, but the three of them had lived in the same tent for a long time before, and she had seen Ji Xun and Nan Jing's various intimate actions many times, so what was happening in front of her was nothing.

Ji Xun didn't think much of it. He smiled and patted the bun-haired lady on the head: "It's just the right time."

Nan Jing looked at the two people's expressions and just smiled. He was soon distracted by the earthquake. "Luckily we got back in time. I just received a message from the spirit beast saying that the enemy launched a general attack?"

"Ah."

Ji Xun watched Nan Jing come back and felt that the coalition forces had a better chance of winning.

He didn't ask Nan Jing what he was doing in the underworld, but just asked, "Is everything going well?"

"Ah."

Nan Jing nodded and looked at Ji Xun. Her clear eyes seemed to contain many things she wanted to say, but she couldn't express them in detail.

Ji Xun glanced at the phenomenon device whose image was suddenly cut off, and knew that the battle outside must be very fierce, so he told his plan for the first time: "I plan to find the altars of those foreign gods. I'll leave this to you."

They are said to be three Outer Gods, but in fact the moon goddess Arachne is the leader.

Ji Xun has been dealing with the Silver Moon Sect for too long, and he is very familiar with the various procedures of the Silver Moon sacrificial ceremony.

Since Orlan had sacrificed millions of lives before, the accumulated extraordinary psychics must need an altar to carry the divine power. Instead of confronting the outer gods head-on, it would be more practical to steal their power.

However, his plan would only succeed if someone could hold back the masters of the Oran Royal Court.

And with the return of the high priest Nan Jing, there happened to be a top master who could truly control the formation.

When Ji Xun said this, Nan Jing and Chu Jiu understood it immediately.

If they can think of this plan to steal the house, then the enemy must have been able to think of it too. This plan is very risky.

But both women understood the situation and didn't say much.

Nan Jing just said, "Oh. Then be careful. If you encounter any danger, notify me."

Ji Xun nodded: "Yeah."

At this time, the communication reported that the main force of the Orlan Royal Court appeared on the battlefield. Chujiu looked stern and said, "I'm going to the front."

The earthquake was getting louder and louder, with no sign of stopping.

The coalition's defense line was a hollowed-out mountain structure with a large number of caves inside. From the looks of it, the Orlan side was planning to collapse the entire Kilan Mountains.

When Ji Xun came out, the outer rocks of the artillery positions on the rock walls on both sides of the canyon had almost all been shaken off, revealing a series of steel fortresses.

The wind blades in the air were like grinding wheels, making the steel rustle.

The sound of gunfire was already ringing in my ears.

The colorful artillery fire was more brilliant than any day before.

Previously, the artillery battles between the two sides were mostly conducted with ordinary ammunition, but today, all kinds of magical ammunition were thrown onto the battlefield like they were free.

Ji Xun looked up and saw that in the distance, a number of modified mobile mechanical cities were rushing towards the defense line with thick steel walls.

These huge monsters are the best cover on the battlefield. Ordinary shells hit the thick steel walls, leaving only some small holes, which cannot stop the advancement of the mechanical city at all.

Even if the coalition's largest caliber artillery hits it, it will take several shots to put it down if it doesn't hit the mechanical city's vital power source.

Countless mechanical armies, using the mobile steel castle as cover, also advanced fiercely.

Behind the hundreds of mechanical cities, a huge mechanical city, like the "king", was also advancing steadily.

This particular mecha city defense armor has the word "001" sprayed on it in white paint.

Ji Xun looked at the huge mechanical city that was nearly a hundred stories high and immediately recognized that it was the "King Arthur" of the Oran Royal Court!
Through the telescope, one can even see a young man covered in black on the highest terrace of the mechanical city, also looking at the Kiran defense line.

The two armies faced off, and King Arthur appeared on the battlefield for the first time.

On the coalition side, Chujiu and Nanjing also appeared on the battlefield.

As soon as the two of them came out, the bone-corrosive wind blades in the large area immediately disappeared completely.

On the coalition side, hundreds of thousands of elite mechanical warriors are on high alert.

The two sides were still more than ten kilometers apart, and the artillery roared and poured out ammunition.

Ji Xun did not join the main group, but found a high place with a good enough view and hid his figure in the darkness.

He held a telescope and carefully observed the enemy's million-strong army.

In addition to seeing King Arthur, I also saw many familiar figures in the mechanical city last season, including Queen Betty, the Chosen One of the Moon God, Ning, the Chosen One of the Worm God, and the Four Knights of the King.
"One, two, three, four, five! Wow, the Orlan royal family already has five Titan armors."

"I didn't see the 'Mechanical Angel'. Did it hide?"

"Tsk tsk, the Silver Moon Sect hasn't changed at all, the 'Four Pillars Formation'. In other words, the '003' mechanical city should be the location of the altar. Hey, such an obvious layout, is it the confidence brought by strength, or is it a deliberate trap?"

"."

While observing, Ji Xun organized and deduced the entire complex battlefield intelligence in his mind.

The more complicated the situation, the easier it is to hide some problems that people may overlook.

Until now in this war, he still couldn't see that either side had the absolute overwhelming strength.

It was this uncertainty that made Ji Xun's thoughts even more excited.

Before the two sides could engage in a fight, a tide of black insects suddenly emerged from the cracks in the ground caused by an earthquake not far in front of Jilan's defense line.

In the communication, the communications officer immediately gave an urgent reminder: "Everyone be careful, the insect swarm is coming!"

The battle has begun.
