"The monster civilization's potential for war has been squeezed out to its limits."
On his way to the frontlines, Meng Chao watched more fighting videos.
There were dozens of Hell Beasts and Apocalyptic Beasts that had never appeared before, and the humans had taken clear pictures of them from various angles to analyze and research them.
Quite a number of people were shocked by the destructive power of these peerless beasts.
But Meng Chao remembered clearly that during the later stage of the Monster War in his previous life, when the monster civilization's ultimate soldiers appeared, they were much larger and fiercer than the ones in the pictures.
Compared to his previous life, the monster civilization's ultimate soldiers had shrunk.
But when he thought about it, it made sense. In his previous life, after Dragon City suffered a crushing defeat in the northern offense, it could only defend itself for a few years.
The monster civilization seized the chance to attack and occupy the crystal mines and strategic locations around Dragon City. They could develop at ease, gather resources, and create even stronger soldiers.
And the battle of the lair ended with the monster civilization's complete victory.
If Meng Chao had not turned the tides, the cultivation resources Underground Emperor Jin Wanhao had accumulated for his entire life, including the seven Hell's Blood and a large amount of experimental data for regaining youth, would have been brought back to the monster civilization's nest by the Vortex.
Perhaps the monster civilization in his previous life had obtained Jin Wanhao's resources and data, which was why they were able to complete the modifications of the Nine Great Supernatural Entities and the various ultimate soldiers, which allowed their strength to grow to the max.
But now, the crystal mines and strategic locations around Dragon City, including Shattered Starlake and Raging Waves, were all under the control of humans.
As humanity's steel army surged forward, the monster civilization was pushed to the most barren corner of Monster Mountain Range not long after it was born. It did not have enough resources, space, and time to develop.
Before the Nine Great Supernatural Entities were fully developed, the White Spirit, Earthquake, Demonic Abyss Eye, and the Vortex were killed by Meng Chao and the others.
The resources and secrets Jin Wanhao had from the ancient ruins were also intercepted by Meng Chao, so they did not fall into the monster civilization's hands.
Because of this, the monster civilization was like a prematurely born with an inherent deficiency.
It was no wonder then why the monster civilization could only place all their hopes on the Vortex destroying the lair and stirring up a chain reaction that would cause Dragon City to explode from within. Then, they would attack from both inside and outside to finish the battle in one go.
Once the Vortex died, the monster civilization's scheme was completely ruined.
The monster civilization was already in a difficult position. It was impossible for them to scatter and retreat the monster horde they had gathered after much difficulty.
It was impossible for there to be enough resources in the depths of Monster Mountain Range to feed so many hungry monsters.
If they could not conquer Dragon City, the monsters would definitely kill each other.
Even if the mastermind hidden behind the monster civilization had the ability to control each monster, it still had to sacrifice a large number of monsters to fill the stomachs of other monsters.
Earthlings were advancing by leaps and bounds, and they were changing with each passing day. Any sort of tactical retreat or lurking around was just the monster civilization's slow suicide.
"So —"
"If we win this war, the monster civilization will completely lose its ability to fight in the wild. They can only hide in the mountains and caves and struggle for their last breaths. They won't be able to pose any sort of tactical threat.
"Even if the mastermind of the monster civilization is really Jin Qianxi, the human who escaped from Blood Alliance decades ago, when she faced the steel army that filled the sky and her schemes, it's impossible for her to fight against Dragon City, which is growing stronger by the day!"
To Meng Chao, this fight was not about who won or lost.
Dragon City would definitely win! Humans would definitely win! Earth would definitely win!
This was something that was undeniable.
The problem was, not only did humans have to win, they had to win beautifully and perfectly. They had to minimize their losses and get as many resources and spoils of war as possible to unlock the secrets hidden behind the monster civilization and fuse the monster civilization's power into Dragon City's civilization.
No matter what, the monster civilization was just a mini boss in a beginner's village.
Beyond Monster Mountain Range was an epic war that swept through the Other World, devoured all races, and destroyed everything. The first war drum had already sounded.
In his previous life, Dragon City and Earthlings were chess pieces and sacrificial pawns in this epic war.
After he returned from the apocalypse, Meng Chao swore that he would lead a fully recovered Dragon City to take control of the rhythm of the Other World war and get the most spoils of war. He would stand above the extraordinary beings of the Other World and become the masters of this war!
'In twenty-four hours, we will completely destroy the monster horde and break the monster civilization's spine!'
Meng Chao tightened his grip around Golden Tooth Saber.
The teeth in his lips shone with a sharp light, just like the saber.
Meng Chao narrowed his eyes and noticed that the monster horde was changing their formation.
He might not have been able to see clearly on the ground because of the artillery fire, smoke, and mosquitoes that looked like black fog.
But when he looked down from above and saw the entire situation, he noticed that there were at least ten Tyrant Mammoths quietly gathering together.
They swung their trunks and played bloodthirsty war songs to stimulate the final and strongest power in the cells of countless Demonic Halberd Pigs, Iron-armored Rhinoceroses, and artiodactyl-type monsters around them. Gradually, they gathered together to form an indestructible arrow.
The direction the arrow pointed at was the gap between the two human defense lines on Burning Island.
Logically speaking, the human defense lines were layered on top of each other, and their firepower intersected with each other to provide cover for each other. It was impossible for a gap to exist.
However, as the iron defense line collided with the beast tide nonstop, some people charged forward fearlessly, some people were corroded by acid and venomous fog, some of the positions were reinforced by the experts, and they were stuck in the beast tide like wedges, and some of the positions had undead creatures and zombies bursting out of them. Some of the positions even fell into desperate chaos because of the highly unstable crystal cannonballs.
Gradually, cracks visible to the naked eye appeared between the defensive lines.
And this gap was very obvious.
Not only did the humans on both sides of the gap have different weapons, equipment, and tactical styles, they also lacked effective teamwork. Most of the time, even though they were close to each other, they acted on their own.
"Big Sis Ya, what's going on?"
Meng Chao pointed down and asked Lu Siya loudly while braving the violent wind. "It's such an obvious gap. Did no one notice it?"
"They should, but the battle has already reached its climax. Everyone is in a frenzy, and it's hard for them to adjust in time," Lu Siya answered Meng Chao at the top of her voice.
"To the left is the Red Dragon Army's camp, and to the right is the mega corporations' camp. Do you understand?"
Meng Chao instantly understood.
Theoretically speaking, the regular army should be the strongest, largest, and only organized armed force of a civilization.
But in his previous life, the Red Dragon Army suffered a crushing defeat during the northern offense. Most of their elite forces and war resources were devoured by the Red Radiance Jade tsunami.
From then on, the Red Dragon Army was unable to recover from that setback. Even when the apocalypse arrived, they did not manage to catch their breath.
In his previous life, the strongest fighting force in Dragon City was the owners of the mega corporations. They were the Deity Realm elites with monstrous power and wealth.
There were also the war dogs they kept. There were all sorts of private armed forces and mercenary groups with different names.
The Ghost Tribe that Meng Chao joined belonged to the mega corporations, not the Red Dragon Army.
At that time, the Red Dragon Army had completely turned into an existence similar to a public security army.
Just like all public security armies, they fought day after day and year after year in a muddle-headed and miserable manner, and all their dignity, pride, mission, and fighting strength were destroyed.
Basically, when they had nothing to do, they curled up in their colonization bases, which were like tortoise shells. At most, they used advanced weapons that were hundreds of years ahead of the current era to bully the dwarves, elves, and orcs who were the weakest tribes. Even then, they still had to be on tenterhooks. If they were not careful, it was easy for them to fall into the traps set by the Other World natives with the help of their geographical advantage. They could also be beaten up by the powerful fighters from the Other World races who had extraordinary talents, mutations in their genes, and repeated fortuitous encounters. They could only cry and ask for help from the mega corporations.
Even though it was really embarrassing.
But in his previous life, Dragon City had solved an important problem.
It was a problem of who had the bigger fists and who had the final say.
At that time, the Red Dragon Army knew its limits and was satisfied with its status as a subordinate to the mega corporations and peerless fighters. It never caused too much trouble.
Things were different now.
In this life, due to Meng Chao returning to the past and changing his fate, not only did the Red Dragon Army not suffer a crushing defeat in the northern offense, they gained complete victory and obtained a lot of resources. Countless grassroots soldiers were nourished by the spirit energy wave, and they gained great prestige in the hearts of the citizens.
The appearance of the Ultimate Style ahead of schedule and the establishment of the Broken Star Club caused the overall fighting strength of the Red Dragon Army to increase by leaps and bounds.
The Ultimate Style could repair branch meridians and increase the upper limit of broken-star superhumans' cultivation.
The grassroots soldiers of the Red Dragon Army were the ones who were the easiest to be injured on the battlefield and turned into broken-star superhumans.
More than one-third of the members in the Broken Star Club were the grassroots soldiers of the Red Dragon Army.
While they practiced the Ultimate Style and the future martial arts Meng Chao brought, they exchanged information with the other Broken Star Club members, exchanged experiences, and gathered resources.
In a subtle manner, the grassroots soldiers of the Red Dragon Army gained a new look.
Right now, the Red Dragon Army was strong and had a lot of resources. Regardless of whether it was their peak fighting strength or the grassroots armed forces, they were dozens of times stronger than in Meng Chao's previous life.
Naturally, they did not want to be manipulated by others. They wanted to speak louder and more resolute for Dragon City's future.
"There can't be two suns in the sky. One civilization should not have two sets of armed forces that are incompatible with each other.
"The Red Dragon Army is the saber of human civilization. There's no need for the mega corporations to keep their own armed forces. All superhumans should be united under the Red Dragon Army's banner!
"For the final victory, even the Deity Realm superhumans should listen to the Red Dragon Army's commands!"
This was a declaration made by quite a number of the young soldiers in the military.
The experienced and level-headed higher ups in the military would definitely not turn against the Deity Realm superhumans who controlled the mega corporations.
But the politicians who represented the military in the Survival Committee were becoming more and more domineering. They stood against the politicians who represented the mega corporations. This was a fact and a trend.
The Red Dragon Army and the mega corporations each had their own opinions when it came to developing their strategies.
Both sides also lacked tacit understanding when it came to tactical cooperation.
It was not that they were intentionally dragging each other down.
It was just that no one had ever run into a pitched battle that would decide their fates from all directions.
When they fought until the sky turned dark, they could not keep up with each other's rhythm, and that was something that could not be helped.
