Chapter 312 - 312 312 Time Additional for Silver Alliance Leader Shui Zhong Sha Tang Fifth Update

312: Chapter 312: Time (Additional chapter for Silver Alliance Leader Shui Zhong Sha Tang) (Fifth Update) 312: Chapter 312: Time (Additional chapter for Silver Alliance Leader Shui Zhong Sha Tang) (Fifth Update) Lipu Plain, where goose-feather-like heavy snow fluttered down.

Amidst the wind and snow, troops with five different insignias were advancing in an orderly manner, with mechas plowing the way at the forefront.

Following them closely, dense like a swarm of ants, were Independent Travelers.

A massive support legion formed by the Five Dragon Heads Guild, mixed with a great number of voluntary Independent Travelers, began heading north in a formidable procession.

Inside the temporary headquarters of the Free United Army.

Gegil walked in and spoke to Putmi, who was discussing combat strategies with Emaya.

“Just came back from scouting, the Sky Dragon Guild and its five subsidiary guilds have sent support.”

“How many are there?”

Emaya asked with furrowed brows.

“Quite a lot, actually.

Due to the large number of spontaneous Independent Travelers, I roughly estimate at least five or six million people,” said Gegil, shrugging his shoulders helplessly.

“No matter, issue an order to the Wet God Guild to stay behind and block these people.

Now you know why I brought them, right?

Though they aren’t much in a fight, they are numerous, which can be useful in a crucial moment.

This is called fighting fire with fire, countering quantity with quantity.”

“That sounds easy for you to say, but will they obediently listen?”

“Just go and notify them, they’d love to stay.

Compared to the brutal main battlefield, they prefer a lower-intensity battlefield.

Moreover, that’s all they’re capable of fighting.

Surely you don’t seriously expect anything from them.

War isn’t just about having numbers.”

Putmi said very diplomatically.

“Hehe, such schemers,” Gegil said with a hint of disdain.

Of course, despite his complaints, he still turned around and went out to inform those people.

In a grave tone, Emaya said, “The urgent matter now is to eliminate Xiao Wen’s army.

He is an unknown element, and according to the original plan, we should have taken him out by now.”

“That indeed complicates things, but don’t worry too much.

Although he’s currently giving Kanris a difficult time, his own situation isn’t any better.

Once we join the fray, he’ll be caught between two fires.

So long as Kanris isn’t foolishly defeated, the problem isn’t too big.”

“Kanris is a renowned commander, not that easily taken down.

Besides, in terms of forces, aside from third generation mechas, which aspect isn’t in his dominating favor?”

Emaya actually had quite a confidence in Kanris.

Speaking of those two third-generation mechas, Kanris took a deep breath and said,

“Those two third-gen mechas are really a big problem!

Now to take down those two, we would need to mobilize at least three or four units, but currently, the guild can’t spare even one.

Moreover, two of them have already been destroyed, which were Carmenus’s Blood Eagle and Kevin’s Shredder.”

Emaya also said with a face of helplessness.

“There’s nothing we can do about it.”

…

At night, inside Wushi Fortress City, Su Mo and his peers retreated to the western gate area of the fortress, which was relatively closer to the rear.

At that moment, Zhu Xiong and Li Sheng huddled under the giant iron-cast city gate, as the snowstorm was too severe.

Both sides tacitly maintained a ceasefire.

In the communication channel, Chen Shan said to Su Mo, “It looks like the enemy has chickened out.”

“Normally, that would be a good thing, meant for a war of attrition.

But the problem is we still have enemies chasing us from behind, and what we lack the most is time,” Su Mo said with a headache.

Chen Shan replied helplessly, “No choice, can only wait and see if Xiao Wen can come up with something?”

…

Just then, nearby Qian Chengxue suddenly spoke in a low voice, simultaneously commanding her Yuan Demon Mecha to lift its long spear toward an empty area.

“Who is it!”

Su Mo and the others were taken aback and looked over.

A voice suddenly echoed out of nowhere in the snow.

“Friendly, don’t shoot.”

Then, a man running naked appeared.

Upon recognizing the person, Chen Shan exclaimed in astonishment, “Ma Qi!

What are you doing here?”

“Didn’t Commander Xiao Wen send me to scout the enemy’s main camp?

I thought I’d come to find you guys first.

By the way, where’s the enemy’s main camp?

It’s weird though.

How did you notice me?

I injected a special stealth genetic potion.”

Ma Qi also asked curiously.

Hearing this, Su Mo and his companions took another look at the Yuan Demon Mecha, not expecting that the Biological Mecha had this kind of utility.

“The Mecha gave the alert itself, but you need to watch out for the snow on yourself and the footprints on the ground,”

Qian Chengxue replied indifferently.

“Thank you, I will,”

Ma Qi responded gratefully.

At that moment, Zhu Xiong came over, excitedly asking,

“Do you mean Commander Xiao Wen tasked you with scouting the enemy’s main base, planning to strike them?”

“That’s pretty much it,”

Ma Qi explained.

“Then let me tell you, their main base is across the Skyline Canal, it’s unrealistic to strike it directly.

But, if your firepower is sufficient, consider attacking the enemy’s naval fleet and the artillery positions on the other shore.

Destroying these two spots would cripple them,”

Zhu Xiong suggested to Su Mo and the others.

“I see, then I’ll scout it out first, I’ll go now,”

Ma Qi answered.

“Be careful, and aren’t you cold running around naked like this?”

Chen Shan asked curiously.

“Cold my ass, I’ve taken a Genetic Potion, the changes to my body are too severe, I don’t feel cold anymore, off I go!”

Ma Qi waved his hand humorously and then his body slowly became one with the surrounding scenery, disappearing from sight.

“This guy’s abilities are quite impressive,”

Su Mo said.

“Of course, being the reconnaissance team leader, one wouldn’t hold this position without substantial skills.

I hope he manages to gather some useful intelligence,”

Chen Shan remarked sentimentally.

“Is Xiao Wen’s Army really preparing to make a desperate move?

We all know that the odds of success when we strike first aren’t high,”

Qian Chengxue said with a furrowed brow.

“There’s no other way, guess we’ll just have to see how it goes,”

….

In the center of Praying Dragon City, a bell tower made of ancient crystal stone, standing a kilometer tall, stood steadfast amidst the wind and snow, unmovable.

At the top of the tower, a gigantic mechanical clock hung, its hands still ticking.

Below the hands, the numbers 02, 04 scrolled by.

If anyone were to witness this scene, they would be utterly shocked, for in the Star Ring World, apart from the time displayed on a player’s bracelet, all devices that kept time in this world had stopped, needing adjustment to start moving again…..

——————-

Amidst the wind and snow by the Skyline Canal.

On the snowy ground, a string of footprints suddenly appeared, but they were quickly covered by the blizzards.

From time to time, a Mecha patrolled past the canal.

Aside from the patrolling teams, there weren’t many troops stationed here.

Ma Qi slipped to the edge of the canal, looking at the ships lined up in the distance, he gasped in the cool air.

“Holy mackerel, that’s pretty harsh!”

….

In the command vehicle to the rear, Xiao Wen’s fingers gently tapped on the table.

“What are you thinking about, Lord Xiao Wen?”

Lin Yue approached and asked.

“Thinking about how to turn this losing game into a winning one,”

Xiao Wen replied softly.

Lin Yue hesitated before speaking, “Commander, even if we severely damage the enemy, I feel that we still can’t save Wushi Fortress City in the end, and maybe we can’t escape either.”

“Then we won’t save Wushi Fortress City, create life through a hopeless situation,”

Xiao Wen stood up, his determined face showing a trace of resolve.
