Chapter 510: The Battle of Tsushima (Part 4) - Clash of Forces
When Tina's voice rang out, everyone knew that Su Yu was still alive. Zhong Feng, the great cultivators, Chairman Hu, Commissar Zhang, and the players watching the satellite feed all heaved a sigh of relief.
Su Yu had become the spiritual pillar for all the inhabitants of Earth (except for the surrender faction). If anything had happened to him, they truly didn't know what they would do. Thankfully, Su Yu was still alive.
Distant Skrul Planet
Commander Lance was continuously apologizing to the Emperor: "I am truly sorry, Your Majesty. It was my oversight that I failed to kill Su Yu. Please punish me as you see fit."
Emperor Manina XIII had a stern expression and was clearly furious.
However, he knew that this couldn't be entirely blamed on Lance. The attack plan had almost succeeded.
The monsters sent to attack Su Yu were three peak-stage 6 monsters. Two of them were prematurely killed by Morning Star and Tina.
If even one of those monsters had survived to join the final self-destruct, Su Yu would have been dead for sure!
But there were no "ifs" in this situation.
Manina waved his hand, his face still taut. "It's fine. As the Earthlings would say, Su Yu is like a grasshopper in autumn, he won't last much longer. Continue to command the forces, and I'll judge your performance from here on out."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Seeing that the Emperor was not punishing him, Lance felt a weight lift from his shoulders. He immediately focused 100% of his energy on the upcoming battle, determined to perform at his best and not let the Emperor down.
Two Minutes Later
The monster army successfully landed on Tsushima Island and engaged in battle with Zhong Feng's main forces.
Tina, seething with anger, transformed into a fiery red bolt of lightning and charged to the front of the army.
The more severe Su Yu's injuries, the higher Tina's anger level.
While most of these monsters specialized in physical defense, Tina's near-legendary peak-stage 6 strength made their defenses negligible.
The "fiery red lightning" tore through the monster ranks, her sword slicing through them with the ease of cutting through melons. In the blink of an eye, six or seven monsters had fallen to her blade.
Zhong Feng, on the other side, was also in high spirits, directing the army to engage the monster horde.
Under his command, the ice dragons with their high health and thick defenses were positioned at the front, spewing large areas of frost breath at the enemy monsters.
The phoenix and the shadow wraith stood in the rear. The phoenix unleashed a deluge of fire spells at the densest clusters of monsters, while the shadow wraith's "Death Finger" targeted individual monsters with lower magic resistance, focusing their firepower on those with a combined strength of stage 6.
The holy angels hovered in the mid-row behind the ice dragons, their judgment swords emitting radiant holy light, healing and shielding the front-line ice dragons and enhancing their status.
The great cultivators of the Spirit Division were interspersed throughout the main force, using their magical artifacts, flying swords, and large-scale spells to attack the monsters while ensuring their own safety.
Below, a vast array of "Frost Shooters," "Corn Cannons," and other magical plants continuously attacked. Although their damage could be described as "scratching," their sheer numbers made up for it, cumulatively causing significant harm to the monster horde.
Whether it was the main forces, the magical plants, or the great cultivators, almost everyone was dealing psychic damage, which gave the monster army, specialized in physical defense but with low magic resistance, a rough time.
However, the monster army was not to be underestimated.
Firstly, the individual strength of the monsters was generally higher than that of Zhong Feng's main forces.
The monsters were typically at peak stage 5, while Zhong Feng's main forces were only at stage 5, making their overall strength about half that of the monsters.
Furthermore, the number of monsters far exceeded the main force, with over 2,800 of them still active.
Before long, Zhong Feng's main force began to struggle.
The Skrull-created brute-force monsters charged through the front lines, their sharp claws tearing large chunks of flesh and scales from the Frost Dragons.
Agile monsters infiltrated the rear lines, posing a significant threat to the vulnerable healers and mages.
Spell-casting monsters unleashed large-scale psychic spells, causing immense damage to the rear lines. Even the powerful Flame Phoenixes and Shadow Spirits, due to the overwhelming strength of the enemy, were struggling to hold their ground.
The battle quickly devolved into a brutal war of attrition.
Almost every few seconds, a monster was blown to pieces or a Frost Dragon was torn apart.
Endless psychic explosions echoed across the western shore of Tsushima Island, and even the armies in Busan, on the other side of the sea, could hear the distant booms.
In the Solar Empire's main command center, Emperor Manina XIII stared at the 3D projection of the Tsushima battlefield, his expression grave.
He was highly concerned about this battle, as the Skrull history had never seen such a large number of high-tier combatants engaged in a single conflict.
There were only about 8,000 fifth-tier cultivators among the Skrulls, and they belonged to different nations, making such a large-scale battle nearly impossible.
Only on the battlefield of interstellar war could such a scene be witnessed.
Looking at the projection of the Blue Star army, Manina XIII asked Lan Qi, "Lan Qi, where did the Blue Star people get these monsters?"
Lan Qi, though focused on commanding the monster army, quickly responded to the emperor's question, "Your Majesty, according to the intelligence from the Pacific Nation, these are high-tier units that the Huaxia people have exchanged from the 'Evolution' game world."
"Again, the 'Evolution' game?" Manina's expression darkened. "The Silver Federation has given the Blue Star people another advantage. They always talk about 'fairness' and 'equality,' but this is a farce!"
Without these 2,000 high-tier units, the Skrull monster army would have already invaded Huaxia territory!
"Your Majesty, please calm down," Lan Qi hurriedly replied. "I suspect the Silver Federation is using this method to plunder the Blue Star's gold reserves. According to the intelligence from the Pacific Nation, the Blue Star people need to spend 10 tons of gold to exchange a single fifth-tier unit. For 2,000 units, they would need 20,000 tons of gold, which is a significant amount!"
Manina XIII was taken aback, his disbelief showing. "Twenty thousand tons of gold?"
"It should be correct."
"Then how much gold do the Blue Star people have in total?"
"Currently, they have 83,000 tons, and at most, they could have 110,000 tons by the start of the war."
"110,000 tons is more than three times our Solar Empire's reserves," Manina XIII nodded.
It seems the Blue Star people are truly investing a lot in this war.
Moreover, with 110,000 tons of gold, they could potentially create another 9,000 fifth-tier units. This force, when combined, would be a formidable opponent, and they needed to consider how to deal with it.
"Perhaps we could offer some benefits to the leaders of the Pacific Nation, encouraging them to cause more trouble on the Blue Star," Manina XIII mused.
