Complete Martial Arts Attributes Novel - Chapter 1212
1212 Act! (1)
Tragic cries filled the skies and struck everyone’s ears and even their nerves.
Not everyone could withstand such a mental shock.
Peggy and the others had been through many battles and were accustomed to such scenes. They only had solemn expressions.
From the looks of it, it seemed that this was not an easy battle!
!!
There were too many dark apparitions, and their numbers were estimated to be at least 150,000. They constantly surfaced from the horizon like a black wave.
Even martial warriors like them who had been active on the battlefields all year round rarely saw such a scene.
The Eagle Thirteen battlecraft slowly descended. Wang Teng and the others walked down from the battlecraft and entered the third frontline defense base.
The commander here was General Darte, an old acquaintance. Because of the previous mission, General Darte personally came to greet him when Wang Teng arrived.
“Major Wang Teng, I didn’t expect you to come here as well.” General Darte was standing behind the defense wall. He was surprised when he saw Wang Teng and the others coming from afar.
General Darte was one of the few people who knew that Wang Teng could deal with the devil ovum. It meant that he would definitely have more ways to counter dark apparitions.
In his opinion, Wang Teng’s team was equivalent to a dozen teams of the same level.
“General Darte!” Wang Teng saluted him and went straight to the topic. “What’s the situation?”
“Our martial warriors have been fighting fiercely for almost an hour and have eliminated around 20,000 low-rank dark apparitions. But as you can see, low-rank dark apparitions are constantly coming from the rear. The situation is not optimistic.” General Darte shook his head and gritted his teeth. “What’s wrong with these dark apparitions? They are suddenly sending so many low-rank dark apparitions to whittle us down.”
Wang Teng was no stranger to the tactics of the dark apparitions.
The dark apparitions’ favorite trick was to send low-rank dark apparitions as their first wave of attack and to chip away at their enemies’ forces and combat power. Afterward, the high-rank dark apparitions would launch their attack.
To put it bluntly, the low-rank dark apparitions were just cannon fodder. They were walking corpses that had no intelligence and originated from the dead souls of the light faction. It didn’t matter if they were dead…
No!
They were already dead and were just empty shells manipulated by darkness.
This was the most disgusting thing about dark apparitions—violating people’s corpses!
Wang Teng looked at the dark apparitions outside of the defense wall and was stunned.
Did General Darte have some misunderstanding about low-rank dark apparitions?
How were these low-rank dark apparitions? They were at least 10-star to 13-star planetary disciples, which were equivalent to Earth’s 10-star to 13-star general-stage martial warriors. There were even some planetary-stage dark apparitions.
This power was enough to destroy Earth several hundred times.
If such terrifying dark apparitions appeared on Earth back then, it would have been destroyed long ago.
Fortunately, the space of Earth was unable to withstand the arrival of so many powerful dark apparitions. Once the load was exceeded, the first ones to be annihilated would be the dark apparitions.
That was why Earth was able to barely survive for decades.
“They are probably here for the devil ovum,” Wang Teng took a deep breath and answered General Darte’s doubts.
“Devil ovum! No wonder.” General Darte was enlightened, but he frowned. “If so, I’m afraid they will not retreat easily.”
“General, do you have any instructions for my team?” Wang Teng felt the severity of the situation and asked bluntly.
“Don’t be in a hurry. Let’s wait for this wave of low-rank dark apparitions to end.”
“Yes!” Wang Teng nodded and looked beyond the defense wall.
At this moment, the dark apparitions outside were constantly charging at the defense wall. The runes on the defense wall had already been activated. A thick yellow earth-element barrier was blocking the assault. Ripples would spread out when the dark apparitions attacked.
The heavy weapons could only bombard dark apparitions that were farther away. Those that reached the foot of the defense wall had to be dealt with by martial warriors.
“Kill them!”
“Kill them!”
In the midst of the warcries, swathes of martial warriors rushed out of the wall and clashed with the dark apparitions.
These martial warriors were not just attacking and blocking them randomly. They were all in orderly formations.
The people in front held shields to block the dark apparitions’ attacks. It was troublesome to be injured by dark apparitions. Even a slight wound would present a threat of being infected.
The martial warriors at the back kept stabbing with their spears, destroying the dark apparitions’ brains or hearts, sending these infected bodies to their deaths.
Wang Teng was not unfamiliar with this formation. Such formations often existed in the ancient wars on Earth.
Simple and crude yet effective.
However, it wasn’t easy to form such a team made up of martial warriors who used spears and shields.
There were not many martial warriors who wielded spears.
Spears were difficult to use, and the longer the weapon, the harder it was to control it. Without certain talents, using a spear was simply suicide.
On top of that, it was easy to have their flaws exposed, and they would be directly killed by the enemy.
Wang Teng possessed imperial-level spear talent and understood this well.
However, considering the universe’s population, it wasn’t that difficult to gather such a large number of spear-wielding martial warriors.
After a few rounds of engagement, the battle formation started to retreat and another team went forward.
