Chapter 845: Chapter 463: Promotion War!_2

However, this was within expectations; the generals in the command center did not show any signs of panic.

They were just staring at the Mysterious Evil Tide, estimating the distance.

Black Blade issued the order, "Start charging the Strange Crystal Great Cannon."

Atop the cannon tower behind the city walls, which stood over one hundred thirty meters tall, rings of light that signified charging levels began to illuminate one after another.

The world was filled with a palpable and terrifying energy.

Although it was still called the Strange Crystal Great Cannon, this was already the fourth generation of the cannon developed by Master Wang Chui’s team. It was the most lethal weapon in the current Sparkfire conventional warfare arsenal.

Compared to the first generation Strange Crystal Great Cannon, the fourth generation had increased its maximum destructive power by dozens of times. It had an extremely high energy utilization rate, more stable weapon operation, a wider coverage range, and so on.

When countless Mysterious Evil creatures surged out of the grey fog wall, crossing over the Oasis’ land, and the vanguard of Mysterious Evil reached just three kilometers away from the city walls, the primed Strange Crystal Great Cannons let out a deafening roar.

Immediately after, a blindingly bright light which could damage one’s eyes burst forth from within the Evil Tide, like a massive upside-down bowl that kept growing, annihilating everything within its coverage range and sending dreadful shockwaves in all directions.

The blast waves picked up stones and felled trees, rushing toward the city walls like a tidal wave, crashing against the light shield flickering with golden runes.

When the aftermath eventually dissipated, all that was left in front of one’s eyes were huge craters and the sparse remnants of Mysterious Evil.

The rest had been annihilated, turned to nothing.

This included the Strange Crystals and materials that could have been harvested from the Mysterious Evil bodies.

It was an unavoidable matter.

Not even a demigod taking action could kill Mysterious Evil with such precision as to only take their lives and leave the materials behind—killing a few could be controlled, but killing tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands, control was a joke! And even more so for the Strange Crystal Great Cannon.

Defending the city in battle would harvest a large number of fate points and mystery values, but it also inevitably meant a significant loss of materials.

There are gains and there are losses.

Although, for other forces, defending in battle meant only losses, with no gains.

After a volley from the Strange Crystal Great Cannons, they ceased firing, allowing the Mysterious Evil to continue their charge.

At this time, the elite forces stationed on the city walls began to fire at will. Some used Strange Implement muskets, others used Strange Implement bows and arrows, and yet others, groups of Awakeners using amplifying instruments, unleashed a certain spell skill in concert, merging into a large-scale spell that plunged into the Evil Tide.

Boom—!

Inside the city, a deep, resonant sound echoed.

Outside, the continuous roar of artillery.

The Mysterious Evil fell.

The Mysterious Evil fearlessly continued their charge.

The Mysterious Evil reached the base of the city walls, relentlessly pounding and bombarding them. Even as they turned to dust in an instant, they just kept on surging forward.

Fearless of death, no, they lacked any concept of life or death, any rational emotions—Mysterious Evil was indeed terrifying.

The salvo from the Strange Crystal Great Cannons had thinned the Mysterious Evil horde quite a bit, but it wasn’t long before more groups of Mysterious Evil rushed forward again. Looking into the distance, it seemed that there were hardly any spaces that hadn’t been filled with Mysterious Evil.

And this was just the beginning of the Promotion War.

Truly, the trial of Promotion was as terrifying as this!

...

The scale of the Mysterious Evil Tide had far surpassed the tide that had been led by the Dark River myth towards the Sparkfire Academy.

Within the tide, numerous Seven Stars Mysterious Evil shadows had appeared, a number that was still increasing.

The pressure on the city’s defense mechanisms was considerable.

However, the defensive forces of the City of Starfire far exceeded those of the past. Not to mention the high-level combat power, just the quantity of basic defensive weapons like the Strange Crystal Great Cannon, the Light Energy Tower, the Glorious Sword, was streets ahead of the Sparkfire Academy.

After all, the Sparkfire Academy’s ’skill points’ had all been allocated to strategic retreats.

The Mysterious Evil swarm kept surging forward and was continuously annihilated.

Super large-scale lethal weapons like the Strange Crystal Great Cannon did not keep firing constantly. The reason was simple: they were too expensive. Firing one shot could burn thousands, even tens of thousands of Strange Crystals.

Therefore, the mythic powerhouses stationed on various segments of the city walls also took turns to take action. They used wide-scale destructive skills like the Thunderbolt Great Seal, Heavenly Fire Meteor, Nine Heavens Thunder, and Meteor from the Sky to bombard the Evil Tide.

This was the most cost-effective way to defend.

After all, mythic powerhouses not only had an extremely wide range of lethal effects, but their life energy regeneration rate was also much faster than that of ordinary Awakeners.

With one more mythic present, a significant amount of Strange Crystals could be saved.

Albeit, only the City of Starfire, guarded by dozens of mythics, could afford to pour such precious mythic power on ordinary Mysterious Evil.

The most dazzling figure on the battlefield was none other than the red-haired Yiluo Xi.

No one understood the art of quick monster slaying better than her!

She stood above the heavens, hands outstretched, her garments fluttering, hair billowing in the wind, with ripples in the space behind her spreading out hundreds of meters, thousands of meters. In the blink of an eye, hundreds of meteors blazing with intense flames fell from the sky, slamming fiercely onto the Mysterious Evil Tide.

The damage inflicted by this strike was comparable to a volley fired by hundreds of Strange Crystal Great Cannons.

After a round of bombardment, Yiluo Xi did not rest but circled around to another defensive zone to continue raining down the blazing heavenly fire. She wanted more people to witness her invincible valor.

However, after wildly unleashing her barrage for several rounds, Yiluo Xi had to take a rest.

It wasn’t that she was running out of steam.

She still had thirty percent of her life energy left, but she needed to keep reserves in case an opportunity to show off came up, and she didn’t have the energy to do so—cough, mainly because her mentor said to remember not to let energy run out when dealing with ordinary Mysterious Evil. Not that she was afraid of her mentor, but indeed the mentor made a good point.

Yes, that was it.

...

The number of Mysterious Evil was vast, seemingly endless. But the difficulties of the Promotion War were not merely numerical.
