Chapter 1796: Bloodriver Moved

Soon after, the screen switched over to the scene at the common headquarters to reveal Yu Guanzhi’s solemn face.
“Level One Warning, prepare for battle. The Bloodriver Godkiller Great Array has moved. Prepare to engage the enemy!” As soon as those words were uttered, the people on the scene became anxious. Gu Yuena who had been in meditation earlier also stood up. Her eyes lit up with radiance. A gush of powerful aura burst forth from her body at that moment.
Qiangu Dongfeng stood up as well with squinted eyes. “Is it coming? I guess the Federation can’t hesitate anymore. Generals, please remind our soldiers to be extra careful. It is said that the Eternal Heaven is unlike anything we’ve seen. Don’t get too close to it. Otherwise, we may incur great losses if we are affected.”
Dong Zian frowned deeply. “Noted.”
The Bloodriver Godkiller Great Array had moved. Even though it was not moving at a high speed, its movement could clearly be seen in the satellite view.
It was most alarming. Not only was the Bloodriver Godkiller Great Array moving, even the abyssal passage under the array was moving along with it. In other words, the entire abyssal passage was moving under the protection of the Bloodriver Godkiller Great Array. Moreover, it was moving in the direction of the federal military.
“How’s everything? Tang Sect Master, are you done with the preparation on your side?” Yu Guanzhi’s voice sounded urgent over the soul communicator.
“Not yet, we’re still rushing the modification process. Going by the current situation, it should be a success. Supreme commander, I’ll be joining the numerous Excellencies from the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy to assist you in stopping the Bloodriver Godkiller Great Array from advancing.”
“Alright. Thank you for taking the trouble.” Yu Guanzhi hung up the communicator and took a deep breath. He knew that the critical juncture would be upon them soon.
They could not allow the Bloodriver Godkiller Great Array to approach the battlefront on their side because the array was transporting the abyssal legion. Once the array entered the battlefront and unleashed the abyssal legion, they would be in deep trouble.
“Ready! Sea God Army, Northsea Army Corps, Eastsea Army Corps, open fire. Slow down the Bloodriver Godkiller Great Array. Central Army Corps, Western Army Corps, Northwest Army Corps, position all heavy weapons in firing position and await my order.”
“Rumble rumble rumble, rumble rumble rumble, rumble rumble rumble!” The sound of intensive artillery fire was heard echoing through the entire Thule wildly.
The carpet bombing was targeted at the Bloodriver Godkiller Great Array as well as all the major advancing paths simultaneously. However, it did not seem to affect the Bloodriver Godkiller Great Array much. The gigantic purple-black light shield continued its slow advance. It would pause occasionally during an immensely violent blast.
Tang Wulin led the numerous the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy’s powerhouses to the scene. They were hovering in the sky in the meantime and gazing into the Bloodriver Godkiller Great Array. Every single one of them had a solemn expression.
It was difficult enough to contend with the great array itself. In addition, no one knew the extent of the abyssal creatures’ power inside the Bloodriver Godkiller Great Array, not to mention the number of powerhouses amongst the abyssal creatures.
The soul weapons which the Federation had depended on were ineffective in this war. It could cause the total annihilation of mankind. The morale of the few great army corps were at an all-time low.
When the Northern Army Corps fought against the abyssal legion earlier, they could still slaughter and defeat it at the very least. At present, the Bloodriver Godkiller Great Array was an impregnable shield.
The Holy Spirit Cult had spent thousands of years worth of accumulation and preparation to unleash it wholly at the moment. All the Federation’s weapons were being targeted at the moment.
“All soul fighter aircrafts from the Central Army Corps’ Air Force Division One take off. Begin the heavy ion beam attack.” Yu Guanzhi clenched his teeth as he gave the order.
Chen Xinjie turned on his soul communicator. “Sea God Army’s Seagull Division lift off. Commence the wholesale heavy ion beam attack.”
It was not that Yu Guanzhi refused to mobilize the air forces of the other army corps. They were not armed with the heavy ion beam weapons. Only the most powerful ground force, the Central Army Corp and naval force, the Sea God Army in the Federation were allocated these weapons.
Judging from the current situation, only the heavy ion beams could harm the abyssal creatures inside the protective shield. Even if they managed to hit and kill the abyssal creatures, the abyssal energy would be returned to the abyss in reality. It would not have much impact. What else could they do?
The soul fighter aircrafts flew past with a loud howl. The invisible heavy ion beams were continuously blasting the Bloodriver Godkiller Great Array from a distance.
The high intensity heavy ion beam still had some effect. One could clearly see a few abyssal creatures inside the protective shield explode. It then turned into a grayish mist that flowed back into the abyssal passage.
However, the quantity of heavy ion beams was limited while the air force dared not go too close either. The entire Bloodriver Godkiller Great Array was advancing at the speed of about ten meters per second.
It appeared to be rather slow, but the great array was still advancing at tens of kilometers per hour. It would take one day at most for the great array to arrive at the battlefield frontline.
One side was wildly blasting away while the other was slowly advancing without a pause. In this way, the absurd war continued.
The abyssal legion had made some slight changes to the direction of its advancement. At noon, they were advancing toward the Western Army Corps and the Northwest Army Corps’ base camp. The observation was made from a satellite view.
The view startled the Western Army Corps’ regimental commander Dong Zian making him curse aloud.
One could see the outcome of an impending collision with the Bloodriver Godkiller Great Array. The command headquarters had actually dispatched the order to stop the great array from advancing at all costs.
“Supreme commander? Where’s the Eternal Heaven? Where’s it placed at? Why haven’t we launched the attack yet?” Dong Zian roared in rage toward Yu Guanzhi akin to an enraged beast.
After realizing that the Bloodriver Godkiller Great Array had changed its direction, he approached Yu Guanzhi at once.
Yu Guanzhi spoke in a deep voice, “I don’t know what you are talking about. The Eternal Heaven is not with me.”
Dong Zian spoke in rage, “What time is it now? Where are the people from Shrek and the Tang Sect? Summon them! Without the Eternal Heaven, what are we going to use to break the array?”
Yu Guanzhi did not feel good in his heart upon seeing Dong Zian in a rage. He spoke calmly, “The superweapon is still in preparation. In any case, we must spare no effort to stop the enemy from advancing before the preparation is done.”
“You’re b*llsh*tt*ng. The enemy is headed toward my side now. If you can’t come up with a countermeasure as the supreme commander, we need to fall back. Otherwise, we’ll be seeking doom!”
“How dare you!” Yu Guanzhi was infuriated as well. “Dong Zian, do you even know what you’re saying? I’ve the authority to have you court-martialed for having cold feet in a battle.”
Dong Zian was stunned for a moment. He knew that Yu Guanzhi was right, of course. He could not possibly turn back now.
“Supreme commander, fighting by force now is like seeking doom. According to its current speed, it’ll only be twelve more hours at most before we are invaded. Can you tell me how we are to stop the enemy from advancing? We’ve already tried all the Federation’s heavy weapons. Is there anything we can use to break the defense?”
Yu Guanzhi frowned and said in a deep voice, “I understand your feelings. But, we can only wait. I’ve already reported the situation to the Federation. The Eternal Heaven can’t simply be utilized. It needs to be modified before it can be used which the Federation has already approved. It’s in the midst of an intense modification process. I can’t tell when it’ll be ready, but we can only hope that it’ll be completed within the next twelve hours. I will be mobilizing all the armed forces to assist you.”
Dong Zian took a deep breath to suppress his emotions. “Supreme commander, let’s not talk about our personal grudges anymore. The formidable enemy is upon us. I’ve been in the army for so many years, but I’m not afraid of death. None of my comrades and brothers are cowards. However, we won’t die for no reason and we won’t seek doom for nothing. Please urge them to finish the job as soon as possible.”
Upon saying that, the Western Army Corps’ regimental commander abruptly turned around and left.
