Chapter 559: Skendor Savage (Please subscribe and read, monthly ticket recommendation!)

The enemies outside the Justice League's new city began by attacking with weather weapons that were capable of changing the weather, and no other nation except Savage could do this.

The reason is very simple. As long as a nation-state has such power, it cannot hide it. At least it must leak information. Whether it is to comfort the people internally or to deter the enemy externally, it can play a big role.

More importantly, although several major countries have various emerging powers, as a whole they have not been able to break through the limitations of the earth, and naturally they cannot freely control the earth's weather.

The Justice League does have meteorological weapons that can control the weather. Not to mention the inventiveness of this group of geniuses, the technology obtained from the Kryptonian spacecraft alone can be said to be all-encompassing.

Although the explosion of Krypton was the result of the efforts of various parties, the main reason was that the human race over-exploited their home planet.

In order to develop the resources of the mother planet, core scientists invented a series of technologies, among which the technology that can control the weather is the top priority.

Although the Nemesis people determine their careers before they are born, they are not robots and are naturally affected by their surroundings.

As the Kryptonians gradually developed the depths of the planet, a series of underground cities were built, and the astronomical device was one of the instruments that soothed them.

It's just that although the Justice League has mastered such celestial control devices, they did not assemble them completely, but scattered them and arranged them in various corners of the new city, using these devices as tools to change the environment of the new city.

Facing the sandstorm attack raised by Savage's troops, these machines that could control the weather and the defensive force field around the city combined to block all the flying sand and rocks outside the barrier.

Even though the winds were as strong as those of tigers and leopards, and the sands were flying like those of wolves, and they seemed like a group of demons trying to swallow the new city, they could not break through the energy barrier surrounding the city.

Alarms were ringing throughout the new city. Some people armed themselves and rushed to the battlefield, some hid in air-raid shelters, and some were busy debugging machines everywhere.

Bruce and Clark stood side by side in the command room, looking at the intelligence coming from all over the city, brows furrowed, both thinking about the same question - how should this war be fought.

After the end of World War II, the Soviet Union learned a lesson from the urban meat grinder on the German battlefield, knowing that fighting in a city is never a good idea.

In addition, the various examples of the Korean War made the generals realize that the secret to winning modern wars is to use various advanced weapons to carry out large-scale movements and penetrations, tear down the enemy's defense network, and destroy the enemy's industrial production capacity.

However, after the end of World War II, the contrast between the strong and the weak in several famous wars in the world was very obvious, and they all ended up being security wars in a sense.

The Vietnam War, Afghanistan, Iran-Iraq and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, as long as the invaded party still has the will to fight, the battlefield will be turned into a bottomless black hole that devours resources.

This has led to the continuous innovation of weapons in various countries, but these high-tech weapons are either used to defend the country or to bully smaller countries that are weaker than themselves.

Although there are many battle examples, they are of no reference value to the Justice League.

Under normal circumstances, the alliance only needs to combine high-level combat forces like Superman to form an indestructible hammer that can deal with 90% of the military forces on the earth.

But this is impossible to do, because each superhero has a department to be responsible for. Even when facing a big war, they cannot simply abandon their work and turn into a suicide squad to rush around.

What's more, Savage is not an ordinary enemy. Superman and his men form a one-man suicide squad and can certainly rush around at will.

At the same time, it would also give the enemy an opportunity to invade the new city. What's more, neither Us nor Clark planned to take care of everything and let the alliance deal with the invasion.

"Everything is unclear right now. We have no experience in fighting, and none of our levels have experience in commanding. After much thought, we think that relying on the new city to resist is the best way."

This was also the first time for Bruce to command a large-scale troop battle. He was quite confident in his strategic and tactical talents.

But he would not verify this point with human lives the first time he commanded a large army in battle.

Well, facing this kind of relationship between people, Clark's super brain went offline again, and he couldn't think of any solution at all. He could only follow Bruce's ideas.

This order was also recognized by Arthur who returned from the bottom of the sea.

As the king of the sea, he has enough experience in large-scale combat, and he leads the saltwater tribe to fight Atlantis in a battle of wits and courage on the seabed.

Most of the time they were chased and attacked by Atlantis, and they had the most experience in guerrilla warfare and defensive operations.

"Don't be afraid of you two laughing at me. I have been like a turtle in the sea for a while. The army of Northern Atlantis has not learned how to chase other things, but I am good at the tactics of defending when being attacked. Listen to me..."

Arthur immediately started talking about defensive tactics, and he kept telling Bruce and Clark about his experiences in several defensive operations.

Of course, the Justice League is not a saltwater nation under the sea after all, and the power comparison between them and Savage is not a matter of who is stronger and who is weaker.

Defense is just a safer decision made after considering all aspects of the situation.

In fact, he had a proactive attack plan in his mind, but this plan greatly weakened the presence of the Justice League below the top leaders. It didn't even require anyone other than Superman and other top leaders to take action in order to defeat Savage's troops hidden in the sandstorm.

But Bruce did not tell anyone about this plan.

He saw clearly that sending only Superman and his men would do more harm than good to the Justice League.

It is of course easy for them to defeat Savage, but what should they do when the Apocalypse fleet behind Savage invades?

Martin has personally told everyone that if the Alliance wants to deal with a New God leader like Darkseid, it must mobilize all of its high-end combat forces.

Now, Bruce and his team will naturally be able to solve Savage’s problem on behalf of the lower-level members of the league.

But when the Apocalypse army arrives, these members who have no actual combat experience will become victims of the battlefield.

Thinking of this, Bruce made the final decision to take advantage of this opportunity of Savage's troops' attack to make the alliance members fully aware of the cruelty of the battlefield and train their abilities.

In order to achieve this goal, Bruce even asked Clark to stay in the command room and not run around.

"Everyone is working hard to resist Savage's invasion, but you let me stay in the command room doing nothing. What does this mean?"

"When it's time for you to go out, I won't stop you." Bruce looked at Clark's anxious look and felt helpless, but he didn't explain. He said directly: "There is no work that you must do now. The middle and lower-level members who are active can complete these tasks by themselves. Is it necessary for you to interfere?"

"Even if you can save time by joining, what's the point? Is it worth it to deprive these members of the opportunity to accumulate experience just to save a little bit of my time?"

Clark sighed. His brain was fully capable of thinking of this, but his heart was restless. If he didn't do something, he would feel uncomfortable.

Finally, Bruce calmed Clark down with his signature stare and continued to work in the command room.

……

"These people from the Justice League are really capable. No wonder they can force us into such a situation!"

Skendor Savage, daughter of Vandal Savage, was one of Savage's more accomplished military commanders.

The one who helped Martin and the Martian Manhunter use the Assassin's League to fish and lure in the Savage troops was led by Skendall.

Since her last failure, the female general has learned from her mistakes and started to study the members and organizational structure of the Justice League from one perspective.

The more she studied, the more frightened she became. She discovered that each of the Justice League's elders was a genius, and defeating them was not something that could be achieved simply by piling up numbers.

As for Martin, Skendo didn't even know where to start his research.

Although the other elders of the Justice League are all inhuman beings, Savage's intelligence network can still collect their activity tracks from childhood to adulthood for research, so as to develop strategies targeting the weaknesses of these people.

But as for Martin and his people, they were completely in the dark. They had no idea where he came from or what he was.

If Martin had not revealed his identity, Savage would have even suspected that he was some ancient god who had come to the world to cause trouble for him, an immortal who had lived for hundreds of years.

After learning about Martin's background, Savage's men were not very happy, because there was no difference between knowing and not knowing.

They had no idea how to deal with a person who changed his identity every day and the whole world changed with it.

They studied what Martin had done since he came to this world and found that although this mysterious figure was ruthless and would never leave any leeway for his enemies, he was a good man with principles.

Such a person would never kill innocent people indiscriminately, so Savage wanted to move his power to the United States and use the United States as a shield as the price for his continued expansion.

Unfortunately, the opponent seemed to have predicted Savage's prediction.

Before Savage took action, the Justice League took the initiative to launch an attack and began to cut off Savage's influence around the world, and these people are indeed very capable.

As a result, the decisive battle that Savage had expected to come in the distant future, or even never, had arrived long ago.

Therefore, Skendor, as Savage's most trusted daughter and general, was sent to attack the Justice League's new city.

Skendo, who had studied the Justice League in depth, was well aware of these guys' abilities. He immediately used celestial weapons and used a tornado to completely cut off the city's connection with the outside world.

Moreover, she chose to launch the attack at the end of the second half of the night just to avoid the magical Martin.

Although Skendor lost to Martin, she firmly believed that her abilities were no weaker than those of the other members of the Justice League.

"I seized the time and opportunity! My warriors are the most brave and fearless soldiers in the world! I have done everything to the limit. As for the result, I will leave it to the great Savage to decide!"

As Savage's daughter, Skendall not only regards Savage as her father, but also as her only faith.

After the army approached the new city with the help of a sandstorm, Martin disappeared. After Skendor prayed to Savage, he immediately ordered a full-scale attack.

"I only have less than three hours, and that amazing Martin won't be gone for long. If we seize these few hours, destroying or severely damaging the Justice League's new city will buy Savage more time."

"On the contrary, we will forever dedicate ourselves to Savage's cause on this land that does not belong to us."

With a solemn expression, Skendo gave his final mobilization to his officers in order to give them strength.

"Go and fight, my warriors, my friends. As long as you show your bravery on the battlefield and make your own contribution to Savage's cause, you will eventually ascend to his kingdom and live with him forever."

Skendor raised her sword and pointed it over the shoulders of the officers in front of her one by one, watching them leave and walk towards the battlefield.

Although Savage successfully cracked the secret of Apokolips's demon transformation with the help of Luther's research, he replaced ordinary soldiers with biologically transformed weapons.

But the only ones who know how to use these biological weapons are still those trained officers. Skendo can ignore the pain of biological weapons, but he cannot help but pay attention to the mental state of these officers.

Fortunately, Savage's authority had penetrated into the hearts of these officers, but Skendor was generally inspired by their prayers, and they led their troops into the battlefield with full confidence.

Soon, countless energy beams caught the dust like a rainstorm, crackling and hitting the defense field of the new city, but only caused ripples and did not cause any damage to the defense field.

The Justice League troops did not defend the city like the ancient armies did, placing one person every one meter to surround the entire border.

They set up defense points a few kilometers away from the border, concentrated all the troops in an area there, kept an eye on the storm outside the field, waited for the enemy to appear, and then sent people to block it.

"Headquarters, headquarters. Our position here is speechless. We attacked with high-density energy beams, but the opponent never showed up."

Each defense stronghold reported similar situations to its superiors, which were then forwarded to the Hall of Justice with inquiries about what to do next.

"They are still too impatient. It's only been ten minutes and the other side hasn't even used artillery fire. This is just an appetizer."

Bruce was not in a hurry. Although the "high density" reported by various strongholds was not false, there was no real heavy firepower.
