"Is that … the Emperor of Death?" Standing under the defensive wall, Adele could see it very clearly. The huge figure floating above Russen's head had a tattered black cloak fluttering like a ball of burning black flames. The huge skeleton in the cloak was like the skeleton of a giant. Yellow flames burned in its empty eye sockets, and a dark, thick codex was spread out from the skeletal arm that stretched out from the cloak.
Russen's projection of the Emperor of Death appeared on the battlefield. The lower part of the projection turned into a hazy black mist that surged in all directions like a tide, engulfing the space within a hundred meters around him. At this moment, the illusory image of the enemy commander appeared above the Emperor of Death's codex. The projection's other arm stretched out from the cloak, and there was a black longsword in it. The hilt of the sword was matt, and it looked like some kind of black bone. There was a black skull on the armguard, and it was surrounded by a circle of twisted metal, as if it was surrounded by black lightning. The sword extended out from the skull's mouth, as if the skull was biting the longsword. There were a few golden patterns on both sides of the sword, and they were as flamboyant as flames.
The Emperor of Death raised his longsword and slashed at the illusory image on the codex.
Immediately, the commander's head darkened. He raised his head and saw a ball of black mist appear above his head. It expanded and formed a circle that was a hundred meters wide in the blink of an eye. The other side of the circular black mist seemed to have formed a space of its own. Suddenly, a sword tip poked out from within. Just the tip of the sword was as large as a mountain. The commander's mind trembled, and the huge sword above his head had already stabbed down.
As the sword tip descended, black smoke of different thicknesses was pulled and dissipated by the huge sword. The huge sword that was like an inverted mountain instantly struck the commander and stabbed straight into the battlefield. The sword flashed twice and exploded like glass. Thin black flames sprayed out from the thousands of flying fragments. The black flames formed a continuous expanse and finally converged into a pillar of fire that shot into the sky. The black pillar of fire soared into the sky and connected the earth, swallowing and spitting out endlessly!
The impact of the fire created a hurricane that washed over the battlefield. On the defensive wall, Adele was pushed to the ground by the violent wind pressure, and she couldn't breathe properly. She only regained her breath when the explosive wind blew out. Looking at the battlefield again, the pillar of fire had already disappeared, but there was a round pit a hundred meters wide on the ground. The flames in the round pit were still burning, but the enemy commander's body was not even left behind. He had completely disappeared.
This was one of Russen's killer moves, "Death Adjudication", and it was a version that Russen had deliberately reduced in power. Otherwise, if he were to go all out, not to mention creating a 100-meter crater in the ground, he could even flatten the C2 camp and the mountain where the camp was located. If Judgement was replaced with the stronger "Armageddon", then hundreds and thousands of Judgement Swords would descend from the void, enough to blast the entire Scarlet Flame Highlands into pieces.
That was what it meant to be. The strength of the General Level and the ruler of Level 30 were the watershed of the entire Origin Energy System. After reaching Level 30 and advancing to Dominator, there was a decisive difference between this level of fierce experts and Awakened experts. The difference between heaven and earth couldn't be made up for with numbers alone. Which expert above the Ruler level didn't have the power to destroy heaven and earth, move mountains and overturn seas when they unleashed their full power?
If Major Generals and Lieutenant Generals still needed the cooperation of the army to complete a large-scale battle. Then … the general and marshal alone could do all of this. This completely subverted the definition of war in human history. In a war involving general-level experts, the outcome of the war was not determined by the size of the army or the quality of the weapons, but by whether the general in charge of the army could suppress the other general.
Therefore, when he learned about the battle in Mecalene Valley and that Capullo was fighting against Dark Thunder Tango, Russen had the saying, "The battle of the marshal is the overall situation."
The giant sword of judgment that descended from the sky, the black pillars of fire that stretched into the heavens and the earth, all appeared clearly in the eyes of every face on the battlefield. When they saw the pillar of fire dissipate and the commander's corpse disappear, even the Catus, who were known for their bravery, felt fear in their hearts. Coupled with the pouring of firepower from more than a dozen unmanned mechas and the valiant counterattack of the human army, the Catus, who had no dragons, had no choice but to retreat.
When the western sky was dyed red by the setting sun, the Scarlet Flame Highlands seemed to be about to be covered in blood. The tide of Catus retreated, and Russen had no intention of chasing after them. Without even greeting the camp, he picked up the tactical board and swiped it. Immediately, all the unmanned mechas on the battlefield opened their waist armor and the upper half of the mechas sank down. His legs shrank together, and a wheel protruded from each side of the armor. The unmanned mecha left the hill one after another.
An airship appeared in the sky above the battlefield. A beam of light shot down from the bottom of the hull that had removed its stealth mode, pulling Russen up to the bottom of the airship. After the bottom armor was closed, the airship's engine spat out two streaks of blue flames, pushing the airship away from the battlefield.
"Just like that … they're all gone." Adele sat cross-legged on the defensive wall. She had already recovered some of her strength, and her little face was dyed a little red in the setting sun. Looking around, both the enemy soldiers and the reinforcements had already left the battlefield, leaving only the soldiers of the Morsen Clan to clean up the battlefield. She did not forget to send out soldiers to scout in order to grasp the movements of the enemy soldiers. The other party only retreated. Who knew when they would come back?
"But I didn't expect that even that old man would make a move. I thought … I would only sit on a comfortable chair in the command building and point fingers. I didn't expect that old man to be so powerful … If that's the case, General Russen can destroy all the enemy soldiers by himself. Why did he let them run rampant in the defensive area? "
An hour later, Zeke finally arrived with the troops that had been mobilized from the other barracks. Right now, the pressure on the Morsen Clan's defensive area had been greatly reduced. After the battle at the C2 camp ended, Russen led the mecha troops around the inner circle of defense and ate a small half of the enemy soldiers. Then, he moved to other defensive areas and continued to reduce the number of enemy soldiers. In the command room of the camp, the staff were debugging the brain terminal, connecting the newly added smart turrets to the terminal so that it was easier to operate.
Adele looked much better after her rest. He was sitting on the console on one side, holding a piece of bread and sending it to his mouth, complaining as he ate.
Zeke smiled and said, "I think General Russen has some misgivings."
"What are you worried about?"
"Displaying too much strength will attract interference from the other party. Perhaps it will provoke opponents of equal strength. One must know that our current strength is clearly at a disadvantage. If the enemy has an expert that can rival the general. If we can restrain the general in terms of top-notch combat strength, then the general will not be able to support us as he is now on a second-level battlefield like ours. " Zeke analyzed, "So instead of doing this, it's better to restrain ourselves and continue to weaken the enemy. When our forces are equal, or even more advantageous, the general will be able to let go of his hands and feet and do a big job. "
"Speaking of which, I wonder how the golden lion is attacking the Running Stream Stronghold?"
"I don't know much about this." Zeke spread out his hands.
Adele wiped out the bread in a few mouthfuls and jumped down. "No matter what, it's more important to defend our own defensive area. Just now, a soldier reported that the enemy soldiers who had retreated showed signs of moving here again. Maybe these fellows will attack again tonight. "
