Chapter 218 Logistics Base
Song Chen exhaled a breath of stale air, stood up, and stretched his neck, his bones making a series of fine, crisp cracking sounds.
Reach out and grasp the hilt of the Heavenly Blade, then lift the blade.
The feeling of the blade was different; the Heavenly Blade felt slightly lighter in my hand.
Although he had become more than half stronger, Song Chen knew that it was still not enough.
The Sirius King is at the peak of the sixth rank, with nearly a million units of health and vitality.
He can now withstand the pursuit of a sixth-tier early stage warrior head-on, and he was able to dodge a sixth-tier celestial wolf for half an hour without being touched on the hem of his clothes.
But when facing the Sirius King, they could only fight on the move.
"Try to kill a few more rounds." He muttered to himself, took the Heavenly Blade in his hand, and then reached out to push open the door of the Ice Fortress.
Outside, the sound of the Ice Demon's horn was dense and urgent.
The moment the door to the ice castle was opened, the weather outside changed.
The already gray-white clouds above the Greenland ice field were swirled into a vortex by a violent sense of oppression, with the eye of the cloud pointing directly north of the Ice Demon camp.
The concentration of spiritual energy in the air was rising rapidly; this was a spiritual energy tide that would only occur when a large number of high-level alien beasts released their blood and qi simultaneously.
The surfaces of all the ice crystal arrows in the Ice Demon camp were trembling slightly, and the frost that had condensed on the ice walls was peeling off automatically.
From the distant Sirius army formation came a continuous howl of wolves, the sound waves layered upon each other, from deep guttural sounds to sharp long howls, hundreds of thousands of wolves were howling at the same time, and the entire ice field resonated.
Song Chen stood at the entrance of the Ice Castle, his hand on the hilt of his knife, looking north.
The silvery-white mountain-like figure still stood at the forefront of the Sirius army formation, but this time it launched an attack.
Sirius King Augsa raised his head and let out a long, deep howl.
This howl was unlike any other of Sirius's; its sound was like a materialized shockwave, exploding from its throat and causing countless cracks to appear on the surrounding ice surface.
The swirling clouds in the sky accelerated their rotation, and the three outermost ice walls of the Ice Demon Camp simultaneously emitted a teeth-grinding creaking sound.
At this moment, Zhou Wangyue walked over, looked Song Chen up and down, and asked with some doubt, "Your Qi and blood have increased again? Did you break through on the battlefield? Logically speaking, the effect of the Source Spirit Crystal should greatly decrease after the fifth rank, so how come..."
Song Chen's heart tightened; his blood was rushing to his head, but he had already prepared a reason.
"Teacher, after I killed the eldest son of the wolf king, I got something good from it. After eating it, I grew bigger."
"Yeah?"
Zhou Wangyue was still somewhat skeptical, but the situation was urgent, and he had no time to worry about such things. He then said:
"There's a task that's perfect for you right now. Your current goal is small, and within the perception range of a sixth-level being, your blood and qi fluctuations are about the same as a fourth-level being."
"But with your speed and combat skills, even an ordinary sixth-tier beast king can no longer do anything to you."
Song Chen didn't interrupt and listened quietly.
Zhou Wangyue pointed to the northeast: "That's the Sirius Clan's logistics base, about 800 kilometers from the main battlefield, where they stockpile supplies for the Sirius Clan's expeditionary force."
"Without this supply, the Sirius Clan will either have to retreat or engage in an immediate decisive battle. Either way, it will be good for us."
"Teacher, you want me to take it down? Sure, when do we leave?"
Zhou Wangyue withdrew his finger and looked at Song Chen: "Yes, but not now."
"Go after the big battle has started. Before the battle, both sides' rear areas are under close surveillance, so going there would only make it easier to be exposed."
"Once the two armies are fully engaged in battle, with the Sirius King and the Ice Demon King locked in combat and all the sixth-tier Beast Kings committed to the front lines, a gap will appear in the Sirius King's rear defenses."
"That gap won't last long, but it will. In that gap, someone so fast that even a sixth-tier beast king can't catch up can slip through the gaps in the Sirius defense line, reach the logistics base, and blow it up."
Song Chen thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay, I'll set off after the battle begins."
Zhou Wangyue glanced again at the silvery-white mountain figure to the north: "No rush, let's wait until the fighting starts."
Another day has passed.
The main force of the Sirius clan has arrived, and the main force of the Ice Demon clan has also assembled.
This was the quietest day on the entire Greenland ice sheet.
The two armies faced off across the last open ice shelf. The silence was more suffocating than any roar, because everyone knew this was not a ceasefire, but a gathering of strength.
Both sides are compressing their psionic energy to its absolute limit, to the critical point, and then releasing it all at once.
Song Chen stood on the ice wall, watching the Sirius Army formation opposite him undergo extremely obvious changes within a single day.
The low-level cannon fodder troops on the periphery were replaced by elite troops of level two or above.
The assault group composed of fourth-tier wolves was deployed to the front line, and the number of fifth-tier guards was at least twice that of the intelligence. They were scattered on both flanks of the army formation, ready to flank at any time.
At the very center of the entire army formation, at the feet of Sirius King Augsa, there appeared a group of Sirius that Song Chen had never seen before.
They are larger than ordinary fifth-tier animals, with dark silver fur and a very deep black vertical stripe on their foreheads.
Judging from their aura, they are undoubtedly sixth-tier beast kings, and there are eight of them.
The number of Tier 6 beast kings deployed by the Sirius Clan this time far exceeded the initial estimate of the four-nation joint command. The Sirius Clan only had eleven Tier 6 beast kings in total, and more than half of them were transferred here.
The Ice Demons are also preparing for battle at full speed.
Ice warriors brought a large amount of spirit ore from the depths of the Greenland ice sheet, and ice-type ability users worked day and night to build new defensive fortifications on the front lines.
The ice wall was raised to fifty meters high, the psionic circuits inside the wall were repeatedly strengthened, and the production line for ice crystal arrows never stopped.
The vassal forces of the polar snow bears and ice-spine dragons were reorganized; they were larger, had thicker hides, and could withstand the first wave of claw attacks from the Sirius Clan during a charge.
Most importantly, a new aura, never before seen, appeared deep within the Ice Demon Clan's camp.
That aura was extremely deep and steady; it belonged to a high-level sixth-tier Ice Demon King.
Song Chen could sense its presence, but could not see its true form.
It is waiting, waiting for the Sirius King to make the first move.
Song Chen withdrew his gaze and jumped down from the ice wall.
Upon landing, they bumped into Gulbak, the Ice Demon Elder, who looked like he hadn't slept for days.
Gurbak looked down at him: "Song, you killed the eldest son of the Sirius King. Now it's launching a decisive battle ahead of schedule, just to use your blood to sacrifice for its flag."
"Then it has to line up first. People who want to kill me, no, beasts who want to kill me, could line up from the Pacific Ocean to the Arctic, making Sirius King wait."
Gulbak's lips twitched. The facial muscle structure of an ice demon is different from that of a human, so the movement didn't look like a smile; it was more like his fangs involuntarily bulging outwards.
He was somewhat shocked that Song Chen was still so optimistic at this point.
"Are all humans as arrogant as you?"
"If all humans were as arrogant as me, the alien beasts would have been driven into the sea long ago."
Song Chen walked past it, intending to pat its elbow, but found that he couldn't reach its shoulder.
"Don't worry, leave Sirius to your Majesty. I'll take out their logistics base. You guard the front, and I'll attack from the rear."
Gulbak turned around and looked at his back. After thinking for a while, he muttered something in the Ice Demon language, which roughly translates to: "Has this madman ever been afraid of anything?"
