Chapter 431: Chapter 349: The Chance for a Ranking Comeback!_2

But from the perspective of the competition for civilization ranking, the current situation couldn’t be better!

Home advantage was right there, if they could take it all in one go, Human Civilization would have the chance to challenge the ranking position of the currently number one mighty civilization!

After receiving the transmission, the Strategic Command Center seemed invigorated all at once.

Clearly, they also realized what it meant to have not formed efficient tactics.

“This round? It’s the official military against a ragtag army,” someone even joked.

But that made everyone even more confident.

What’s more important, the President was watching them!

There might be some losses, but no one doubted the final outcome!

Orders were communicated even more methodically.

An hour later, all the preparation work was completed.

It was even a bit faster than originally planned.

In such a situation, there was still plenty of time to check for omissions, making everyone, even the civilians, feel more at ease.

And some of the key defensive areas, like the New Capital City built on the site of Eastern Country’s former capital, were amassing a tremendously powerful force.

The entire city was even fully enclosed by countless layers upon layers of a defense system, and the defense force of the important production areas inside the city was even stronger!

Fully equipped warriors stood guard in their designated sectors, checking their equipment, adjusting their states, all while patiently waiting.

However, the communication channels for some small teams were quite lively.

“Guys, do you know? This scene, it reminds me of the first time I was on trial at Hua Da Mountain’s battle zone,” a voice with a strange accent in Chinese appeared on one small team’s channel.

This caused a burst of laughter.

“Paddy, here you go again.”

“We know you’ve got good luck; let’s see how it goes in a bit.”

“That’s different, if we still had the same casualty rate as back then, each one of us would be in trouble.”

“Paddy’s good fortune has run out; didn’t he almost die during the last trial?”

“The fact that he’s here talking to us, rather than waiting to reappear on the Day of Heroic Spirits, is already a testament to his luck.”

“…”

Indeed, this Paddy was the West Alliance soldier who had survived that brutal battle to the very end in the first trial.

Of course, his good luck and legend were limited to that one time.

After all, there were not many such brutal battles afterwards, and even at the cruelest moments of the last trial, the sacrifice rate of the Primordial Human Race did not exceed five percent.

However, Paddy still liked to talk about his exploits wherever he went, and he had only recently come here, facing all these new comrades, he could not help but speak out.

“You’ll soon believe in my good luck,” Paddy was very confident, “Getting here took a super amount of effort, but I believe it’s worth it because this is bound to be the safest battleground for the entire Human Civilization, our ‘new God’ is from Eastern Country, after all!”

“So that’s your kind of ‘good fortune’,” this remark triggered another round of laughter.

But actually, Paddy wasn’t wrong.

Shen Hao did not advocate the so-called “Great Integration.” Under his will, even though the number of Primordial Humans in Human Civilization had expanded tenfold and the original state system was abolished, internal “cultural spheres” still maintained their regional differences.

This could reduce the conflicts brought about by cultural differences and could also foster a form of healthy competition.

Under these circumstances, to deeply enter or even assimilate into another cultural sphere was no easy task.

Especially for the Eastern Country cultural sphere.

After all, Shen Hao was from the Eastern Country. If he really was a “Divine Spirit” devoid of personal emotions, that would be one thing. He even maintained the custom of spending important holidays with his family. Under these circumstances, the Primordial Humans from all over the world, including the newly added species, all flocked to the cultural sphere of the Eastern Country.

Thus, the bar was set very high.

But Paddy still managed to join. This guy had clung on to life in the last battle of the Hua Da Mountain campaign, thanks to the President’s rescue. He then became a loyal fan of the President, a staunch member of the “Faith Faction,” and even with effort, became one of the few who successfully integrated into the Eastern Country’s cultural circle.

Now he had even joined the defensive army of New Capital City. His own strength had reached Level 40, and he was just one step away from breaking through to the Fifth Stage and becoming a real “Warrior” in the current sense of Human Civilization.

However, it must be said that the atmosphere of this squad had indeed become much livelier, and the gravity before the war seemed to have eased somewhat.

Many faces bore smiles, but their inner fighting spirit was growing more and more fervent.

Yes, they were bound to win, but as the defensive forces of New Capital City, they aimed not just to win, but to achieve a resounding victory!

Finally, accompanied by warning sounds directly transmitted to each frontline warrior, the enemy emerged in the Night!

The first to appear was a towering red fog!

Even in the darkness of the Night, it was clearly visible, a vast swath of red mist spread throughout the night, enveloping a large area!

Just by looking at it, one could almost see a massive, slim red figure within.

And this bizarre entity had set its sights on none other than New Capital City!

“How arrogant!” The highest Commander of the New Capital City defense, a senior officer named Du Qingwen, stared at the figure within the dark fog with a serious expression, yet decisively ordered, “Aim at the red fog, first round of attack!”

In an instant, terrifying Light Speed pierced through heaven and earth!

This was the city’s defensive attack weapon.

The enemy seemed to appear from a distance that wasn’t too close, but in fact, they had tried a direct invasion of the city at the first opportunity, only to be stopped by the high-standard city defenses of the Great Formation.

This Great Formation had been specifically optimized against the strange invasions of the Night because it was still in the testing phase, and not without cost, it had only been popularized in some major cities.

But it was precisely because of this that Du Qingwen felt this particular entity was excessively arrogant.

The defensive strength of New Capital City was visibly formidable!

Under such circumstances, to still choose this location as the first target of attack was indeed arrogant.

And this round of ubiquitous formation attacks brought about significant effects–not just any ordinary technological firepower, but it contained potent Transcendent technology, and more importantly, it included a hint of Sword Intent, making it mighty against all Extraordinary life forms.

Before Sword Intent, no matter the weird and strange abilities, I shall break them with a single sword!

However, after this intense round of attacks hit the red fog, there was no reaction; at most, it stirred up a few ripples.

Did this make Du Qingwen’s heart sink?

No effect?

No, that was impossible. As a Commander of Human Civilization, he knew by heart the various attack effects possessed by his own troops.

Sword Dao was one of the leading fields in today’s Human Civilization, not only nurturing a large number of Warriors but also deeply integrated into the system!

It was then that the red fog rolled in waves, revealing the scene contained within to everyone.

That was a large number of slim figures shrouded in the red fog, each holding a thin sword!

While the attacks hadn’t ceased, Du Qingwen saw with his own eyes a figure hit by the sword light, disperse instantly without any screams or struggle. However, the red fog left behind after its death rapidly spread onto other forms.

At a glance, the entire red mist seemed to be filled with such sword-wielding figures!

Du Qingwen said nothing, but his gaze grew even more solemn.

He, too, practiced dual cultivation in the Sword Dao, so he could feel an extremely frantic Sword Intent emanating from those figures!

Those crimson thin swords were far from mere decorations!
