Oh My God! Earthlings are Insane!

Chapter 659 - A Fragile Gap

Chapter 659: A Fragile Gap

“The fighting potential of the monster civilization has been drained to its limit.”

Meng Chao saw plenty of fighting videos when he was rushing to the frontlines.

Dozens of Hell Beasts and Apocalyptic Beasts he had never seen before showed up. Humans took pictures of them from all sorts of angles to analyze and examine them.

Quite a number of people were shocked by the destructive power behind these fearsome monsters.

Meng Chao could clearly remember that during the later stage of the Monster War in his previous life, when these ultimate weapons of the monster civilization appeared, they were bigger and more brutal than what he saw in the pictures.

Compared to his previous life, the ultimate weapons of the monster civilization had largely shrunk.

But that made sense, after Dragon City lost badly during the northern offense, there were a few years where they only defended the city and did not expand their territory.

The monster civilization seized the chance to occupy those territories instead. They took over the crystal mines and important tactical spots around Dragon City, thus allowing them to develop at their own pace, gather resources, and make stronger soldiers.

The battle of the lair also ended with the monster civilization winning.

Without Meng Chao turning the tides around, the cultivation resources Underground Emperor Jin Wanhao gathered for his entire life, the seven Hell’s Blood, and the large amount of experiment data on how to regain youth should have been brought back to the monster civilization by the Vortex.

Chances were that the monster civilization in his previous life was able to complete the modification of the Nine Great Supernatural Entities and the various ultimate weapons because they gained Jin Wanhao’s resources and data. That was why they were able to gain so much power.

And now, all the crystal mines and important tactical spots, including Shattered Starlake and Raging Waves, were under human control.

As humans’ steel army rolled forward, the monster civilization was forced to the most barren corners of Monster Mountain Range soon after it was born. They did not have enough resources, time, and space to develop.

The Nine Great Supernatural Entities had not had time to fully develop. Among them, the White Spirit, Earthquake, Demonic Abyss Eye, and Vortex were already killed by Meng Chao and the others.

Jin Wanhao’s resources and secrets of the ancient ruins were also intercepted by Meng Chao and did not end up in the monster civilization’s hands.

With humans growing stronger and monsters growing weaker, the monster civilization of today was basically a premature baby with insufficient nutrients.

It was no wonder the monster civilization had to place all its hope on the Vortex destroying the lair to create a chain reaction that would cause an explosion in Dragon City from within. Then, if they attacked from inside and outside, they could win the fight in one go.

The moment the Vortex died, the monster civilization’s scheme was completely destroyed.

The monster civilization was now caught between a rock and a hard place. It was impossible for them to scatter the monster horde they had finally gathered together and make them retreat.

Monster Mountain Range also could not possibly have enough resources to rear so many hungry monsters.

If they could not take down Dragon City, the monsters would definitely kill each other.

Even if the mastermind hiding behind the monster civilization had the ability to control each monster, it must definitely sacrifice a large number of monsters to fill up the stomachs of the other monsters.

While Earthlings were becoming stronger rapidly and changed every day, all tactical retreats and ambushes from the monster civilization were just acts of chronic suicide for it.

‘So, if we win this fight, the monster civilization will completely lose its ability to fight in the field. They can only hide in the mountains and caves while struggling to live. They can no longer pose a tactical threat.

‘Even if the monster civilization’s mastermind is really the human Jin Qianxi who escaped from Blood Alliance decades ago, when she faces the steel army attacking her from all directions, her scheme cannot fight against the increasingly powerful Dragon City!’

To Meng Chao, this battle was no longer a problem of who would win or lose.

Dragon City would definitely win! Humanity would definitely win! Earth would definitely win!

This was an undeniable fact.

The problem was, not only did humans need to win, they must gain a beautiful and perfect victory. They must also snatch as many resources and spoils of war as possible while minimizing losses as much as possible. The moment they unlocked the secrets behind the monster civilization, they must also have its strength fuse into Dragon City’s civilization.

No matter what, the monster civilization was just a mini boss of a starter village.

The historic war that swept through every inch of land beyond Monster Mountain Range, engulfed all races, and destroyed everything had already beat its first drum.

In his previous life, Dragon City and Earthlings were pawns and sacrifices of this historic war.

After he returned from the apocalypse, Meng Chao swore that he would lead the energetic Dragon City and seize the rhythm of the Other World war in his hands. Then, they would snatch more resources and stand above the extraordinary beings in the Other World to become the masters of the war! (and then what, continue stealing from other races?)

‘Within twenty-four hours, we must completely destroy the monster horde and break the monster civilization’s spine!’

Meng Chao tightened his grip around Golden Tooth Saber.

His teeth dug into his bottom lip, and they shone with a sharp glare, just like his saber.

He narrowed his eyes, and Meng Chao noticed that the monster horde was changing its formation.

Artillery fire, smoke, and the black smoke-like insects blocked view on the ground, so others might be unable to see clearly.

But since Meng Chao was high above, he could see everything, and he noticed that there were at least ten Tyrant Mammoths that were discreetly gathering together.

They swung their trunks and sang a bloodthirsty warsong that stimulated the last bit and the strongest power lying in the numerous Demonic Halberd Pigs, Iron Armored Rhinoceroses, and artiodactyla-type monsters’ cells. Gradually, they formed an unstoppable arrow.

The arrow pointed at the gap between two human defense lines on Burning Island.

Logically speaking, the humans’ defense lines overlapped with each other and had firing points covering them. It was impossible for there to be gaps inside.

But as the steel defense lines and the monster horde continued colliding against each other, some people fearlessly charged forward, and some had their bodies corroded by acid and poisoned by smog. Some of the bases had powerful fighters providing support, and they were like wedges that were wedged deeply in the monster horde. Several bases had the undead and zombies explode from them. In fact, due to the unstable crystal artillery shells exploding, they sank into a desperate, chaotic battle.

Slowly, a noticeable gap appeared between the defense lines.

And this defense line was really obvious.

The humans on both sides of the gap might be employing the same weapons, equipment, and tactics, they lacked effective teamwork. There were plenty of times where they just did whatever they wanted even though both sides were close to each other.

“Big Sis Ya, what’s going on?!” Meng Chao pointed downward and asked loudly even though the wind was blowing against his face, “This is an obvious flaw, but no one noticed?!”

Lu Siya shouted back at Meng Chao, “They should have, but the battle has already progressed to the climax, and everyone is in a frenzy! It’s hard for them to adjust their formation in time!

“On the left is the Red Dragon Army’s base, and on the right is the mega corporation’s base, understand now?!”

Meng Chao instantly understood.

Theoretically speaking, the regular army should be the strongest, largest, and only armed force of a civilization.

But in his previous life, the Red Dragon Army lost badly during the northern offense, and most of its elite forces and tactical resources were devoured by the Red Radiance Jade tsunami.

From then on, the Red Dragon Army was unable to get itself back on its back. It never managed to recover even when the apocalypse arrived.

In his previous life, the strongest forces were the owners of the mega corporations—the Deity Realm superhumans who were so rich they could fight against countries and had a ridiculous amount of authority.

The fighting dogs they kept were also strong, and these were the private armed forces and mercenaries that had different names and all sorts of skills.

The Ghost Tribe Meng Chao joined actually belonged to a mega corporation, not the Red Dragon Army.

At that time, the Red Dragon Army had completely been reduced to something akin to an army of occupation.

And just like any other army of occupation, they were engaged in difficult occupation wars day in and day out. They lived their lives not knowing what they were doing, and all their pride, dignity, sense of mission and fighting strength was destroyed.

Basically speaking, they hid in their occupied bases when they had nothing to do, and at most, they used advanced weapons that were hundreds of years ahead of the other races to bully the weakest races of the dwarves, elves, and orcs. Even so, they had to live in fear, because if they were careless, they could end up in the trap of the Other World races who used the terrain to their advantage, or the Other World races that were talented, had genetic mutations, and had tons of blessings would beat them up, and they could only beg the powerful people from the mega corporations to help them.

Even though this was really embarrassing, it solved a major problem in Dragon City in his previous life.

Even if they lived in a world where the one with the strongest fist called the shots, at that time, the Red Dragon Army knew their place and were satisfied with their position as affiliates of the mega corporations and powerful fighters. They never caused major trouble.

But now, things were different.

In this life, due to Meng Chao returning to the past and changing their destiny, not only did the Red Dragon Army not lose during the northern offense, they won and gained a lot of resources. Countless grassroots soldiers were nourished by the spirit energy tsunami, and they gained great prestige among the people.

Meanwhile, since the Ultimate Style appeared beforehand and Broken Star Club was set up, the Red Dragon Army’s overall fighting strength increased by one whole degree.

The Ultimate Style could repair main meridians and cultivate branch meridians to increase the upper limit of broken-star superhumans. Meanwhile, the foot soldiers in the Red Dragon Army were the ones who were injured the easiest on the battlefield and were also the easiest to turn into broken-star superhumans.

More than thirty percent of the members in Broken Star Club were foot soldiers in the Red Dragon Army.

While they practiced the Ultimate Style and the future martial arts Meng Chao brought over, they communicated with other Broken Star Club members, exchanged experience, and pooled their resources together.

Due to the influence from the club, the grassroots units in the Red Dragon Army gained a new appearance.

Now, the Red Dragon Army was filled with powerful soldiers and had ample resources. Its peak fighting strength and base fighting strength were ten times stronger compared to his previous life.

Naturally, they would not accept being manipulated. Instead, they wanted to release louder and more determined voices regarding Dragon City’s future.

“There cannot be two rulers in one place, and there shouldn’t be two sets of incompatible armed forces in one civilization.

“The Red Dragon Army is the true saber of human civilization. The mega corporations have no need to retain their private squads. All superhumans should serve under the Red Dragon Army’s banner!

“For the sake of final victory, even the Deity Realm superhumans should listen to the Red Dragon Army’s commands!”

This was the bold statement from quite a number of the young soldiers in the army.

The mature and level-headed higher-ups in the military would naturally not turn complete enemies against the Deity Realm superhumans who were in control of the mega corporations.

But in the Survival Committee, the politicians representing the military were getting progressively aggressive. It was a fact that they were currently arguing fiercely with the politicians representing the mega corporations, and this had already become a trend.

And when it came to how they should develop the city tactically, both the Red Dragon Army and the mega corporations had their own say.

They also lacked teamwork when it came to tactical cooperation.

It was not that they were intentionally dragging each other down.

It was just that neither of them had run into a pitched battle that surrounded them from everywhere and could decide the city’s fate before.

When they were fighting in a frenzy, it was inevitable that none of them could catch up to the other’s rhythm.
