Chapter 306: Chapter 303 Overview of Daxia Country
Chapter 306 -303 Overview of Daxia Country
The most eye-catching was a fifty-meter-tall giant, naked and with disheveled hair.
Besides that, there were two Catastrophe Level Demonized Beasts, also humanoid in form.
One was about thirty meters tall, likewise naked, with pale blue skin and extremely thick arms—a blue giant.
The other, also just over thirty meters in height, was covered in red scales, each larger than a door panel.
The three giants, still a great distance from the city walls, were only visible as human silhouettes to the naked eye of an ordinary person. However, despite the vast distance, the towering aura emanating from these three giants weighed on the hearts of every defending Awakener like a heavy boulder, making it difficult for them to breathe.
Just think of the tallest giant, who, several kilometers away, treated hillocks as projectiles, hurling them at the city walls like meteors.
As if it were a game…
The twenty-meter-high city walls, towering and thick, were built to withstand the assault of the Demon Tide, but in front of a fifty-meter-tall giant, the walls were probably no obstacle—a mere step over.
Not to mention, with the destructive power of such terrifying Demonized Beasts, once they got close, they could probably easily destroy the walls.
For a moment, panic reigned.
…
“Catastrophe Level? An apt description indeed.”
Tang Yu walked onto the city wall, his expression indescribably grave.
The three giants confirmed what the eighth Beastification Soldier had said—a terrifyingly formidable breed of Demonized Beasts.
Transcendent… Demonized Beasts.
He had encountered them for the second time.
His adjutant had a bitter expression, with sweat sliding down his forehead, his hands numbly shooting arrows from his War Bow at the Demonized Beasts below.
“Director Tang, we have already sent a message to Lindong through special means, but… because the Energy-gathering Cannon is very cumbersome to transport, even if Lindong dispatches aid immediately, it will take two to three hours to arrive here.”
“Now…” He hesitated for a moment, “the best option is to organize everyone to break out, preserving a portion of our living forces.”
Breaking out was extremely cruel.
Without the protection of the city walls, the thousands of Awakeners facing the Demon Tide would not last long; most would fall in the breakout.
Moreover, once they chose to break out, it was tantamount to abandoning the over ten thousand ordinary survivors in the villa district.
It was impossible to break out with ordinary people in tow. Even with the mobility of the Awakeners, the odds of breaking out were slim; bringing ordinary people along would only lead everyone to the abyss of destruction.
Very cruel,
Very unfair,
It was cold-blooded,
The adjutant was well aware, yet this method was the most rational choice he could think of at the moment.
“Was that super-sized demonized beast that appeared in Maple Leaf Town a Catastrophe Level one?” Tang Yu asked.
“Correct, the term ‘Catastrophe Level’ came to be used later, signifying that every appearance of such a level of demonized beast is a disaster.”
“That’s not right.” Tang Yu thought for a moment, “The technology of Energy-gathering Cannon should be mature by now. With the power of the Energy-gathering Cannon, it should be enough to handle Catastrophe Level demonized beasts.”
The Energy-gathering Cannon, although he jokingly called it Crystal-Consuming Cannon, firing it once would cost at least tens of thousands of Source Crystals, not to mention the construction cost of the cannon itself.
Yet the power of the Energy-gathering Cannon itself is undeniable. Last time in Maple Leaf Town, a Transcendent… a Catastrophe Level demonized beast that could not be dealt with by missiles was killed by one shot from the Energy-gathering Cannon.
Though the cannon was scrapped after its display of power, Tang Yu thought that nearly a month had passed since then. The Science Academy had managed to create a prototype of the Energy-gathering Cannon in one month, so after another month had passed, the Energy-gathering Cannon should have become a product that could be used multiple times, right?
Perhaps thinking of Green Shadow’s rune technology, the adjutant thought and said, “If Director Tang, you have a weapon similar to the Energy-gathering Cannon, you can try using it against them, but still, I would advise having an escape route prepared for breaking out.”
“The destructive power of the Energy-gathering Cannon is indeed enough to penetrate the defenses of a Catastrophe Level demonized beast… However, even though a Catastrophe Level demonized beast is colossal, it is not just a target.”
“This level of demonized beast possesses a certain intelligence, knowing how to strike at the most threatening individuals or objects, as well as how to avoid danger. Many a time, the Energy-gathering Cannon isn’t fully charged before it gets destroyed by a Catastrophe Level demonized beast.”
“The reason we were able to kill the Catastrophe Level demonized beast in Maple Leaf Town with one shot was not just due to luck. The crucial reason was that the beast was cumbersome and not agile enough in its movements.”
“And the present Catastrophe Level demonized beast… not only does it have three heads, but they are all humanoid. Humanoid demonized beasts are more agile in movement, and sometimes even more cunning… Among the complex types of demonized beasts, humanoid ones are the hardest to deal with.”
He paused as if feeling that dry language wasn’t convincing enough, “Does Director Tang know that in Daxia Country, we have established a total of three hundred and five major Sanctuaries?”
Tang Yu nodded.
Such basic information was known to him on his first visit to Lindong.
The adjutant’s words took a turn, “We usually categorize the Demon Tide into five levels. However, this only represents the number of demonized beasts. Once a Catastrophe Level demonized beast appears, regardless of the size of the Demon Tide, it is generally believed that its danger level will exceed level five and can be considered level six.”
“Since the apocalypse, fifty-five major Sanctuaries have encountered Catastrophe Level demonized beasts… Before the existence of Energy-gathering Cannon, some used nuclear bombs to eliminate Catastrophe Level demonized beasts, and some Sanctuaries, without nuclear bombs or when it wasn’t permissible to use them due to the proximity of the Catastrophe Level demonized beasts, could only form suicide squads to lure the Catastrophe Level demonized beasts away with their lives as bait… But more often than not, they failed, with more than twenty major Sanctuaries being annihilated by Catastrophe Level demonized beasts.”
“Originally, over eighty percent of the major Sanctuaries that Catastrophe Level demonized beasts targeted were annihilated, or could only evacuate the survivors in advance of the arrival of the demonized beasts. After the Energy-gathering Cannon’s introduction, the situation improved, and major Sanctuaries finally have the confidence to confront Catastrophe Level demonized beasts.”
“However… even under such circumstances, major Sanctuaries still perished, and although some were successful in killing a Catastrophe Level demonized beast, the whole Sanctuary also suffered heavy damage, like us in Lindong, who were rare in discovering in time and striking out early to bomb the Catastrophe Level demonized beast.”
“The most critical point is…” The adjutant’s expression gradually turned bitter, “Most of the time, Catastrophe Level demonized beasts appear alone, but now, there are three.”
Three!
Even Lindong Sanctuary would not have an easy time facing such a situation.
A single mishap could lead to annihilation!
He acknowledged Green Shadow’s immense strength; a fourth-level Demon Tide couldn’t touch them. However, “In the current situation, apart from Beiting’s Defense Circle, no major Sanctuary would dare to say it could withstand it reliably.”
