Gods: Civilization Cultivation, Infinite War

Chapter 149 Reinforcements Arrive
After the Storm King left, the fleet quickly arrived at the place where the two sides had fought before.

Just now, this place was covered by a huge storm and no one could see the specific situation inside.

When the giant storm followed the Storm King away, everyone saw the devastation in the area of ​​dozens of kilometers.

Compared to the impact caused by a giant storm passing through, this area of ​​dozens of kilometers seemed to have been completely plowed.

Apart from some traces left by the aftermath of the battle between the two sides, the entire area covered by the giant storm has been completely changed.

There is no trace of any life.

Fortunately, the place of battle that Eric chose at the beginning was a wasteland where there was not much life, otherwise the damage would have been even greater.

"Eric, Alan, are you okay?"

Niels looked at Eric who was a little silent and asked with concern.

"I'm fine, and Lan didn't suffer any serious injuries either. They were mostly just superficial."

Eric shook his head, signaling the other party not to worry.

“The Storm King’s strength is indeed a bit exaggerated. This is the first time I’ve seen a being below the legendary level who can be compared with those generals.

The firepower support from Sky City actually could not pose any substantial threat to the other side.

I just don't know why, but the Storm King showed no hostility towards us from the very beginning.

Its target was indeed Alan, but it was definitely not intending to hunt Alan, otherwise it would not have not used its full strength throughout the whole process.

In the end, it was unknown whether it was due to the magical bombardment of Sky City or some other reason, but the Storm King chose to leave."

“We still know too little about this world.

The information held by the Hunter Association is just the tip of the iceberg of this world.

Especially regarding the information about the kings of giant beasts and even forbidden creatures, the Hunter Association has very limited information.

In this case, it is indeed difficult for us to accurately judge the meaning of the various actions taken by the kings of the beasts."

Nils shook his head helplessly. The area controlled by intelligent life in this world is very limited.

The intelligence they received from the Hunter Association only contained information within the three major safe zones.

As for the areas outside the three major safe zones, they are also in an unknown state for the Hunter Association.

If there were no record of the Storm King appearing in the three major safe zones, I'm afraid we wouldn't even be able to know the basic information about it.

"However, the Storm King's strength is actually comparable to those generals. No wonder he is recognized by the Hunter Association as the strongest beast king under the forbidden life."

At this point, Nils looked a little surprised.

Although he had learned from Hawke that the Storm King was extremely powerful, there was no specific unit of measurement, only a record of that one attack.

Still, Nils couldn't form a detailed concept of the Storm King's strength.

It was not until he heard Eric's explanation that Nils truly understood the other party's strength.

In the Kingdom of Dawn, there have always been two different sets of standards for the combat effectiveness of all extraordinary people.

One is the standard within the holy angels.

The second is others.

Whether it is common or uncommon races such as humans, orcs, dwarves, and elves.

The various extraordinary professions within it can exert different combat capabilities.

Even those with extremely excellent talents are geniuses who work in top-notch and powerful professions.

When compared with other extraordinary people of the same level, his combat power may be considered top-notch, and he may even have the ability to fight across levels.

But even such a genius, when placed among the holy angels, often fails to even reach the minimum standard in terms of combat power.

Just like Eric, who awakened the power of "advance payment", allowing his foundation in various fields to reach an extremely exaggerated level.

The extraordinary profession he holds is the Templar, which is also very common among the holy angels.

However, before becoming a high-level transcendent, he often ended up defeated when fighting against holy angels of the same level.

If he hadn't gained new abilities after that, he would have had the unreasonable means of explosive growth, such as gaining power from the future.

Even when he was a high-level transcendent, there were still a lot of holy angels of the same level who could defeat him.

Even a transcendent like Eric who has mastered powers that are very suitable for his own growth.

For a long time, they were no match for the holy angels of the same level, let alone other extraordinary beings.

This huge gap between natural talent and combat power cannot be easily bridged even by power.

Nils had never thought that in the world of giant beasts, he could actually see beings of the same level that could be compared with holy angels.

In his previous foreign campaigns, he had never encountered an individual with such exaggerated combat power.

"So what are our plans now? Do we need to change our original attack route?"

Faced with Nils' question, Eric pondered for a moment, and finally shook his head: "No, continue according to the original plan.

With the information we currently have, we know almost nothing about special individuals like the Storm King.

We cannot predict whether we will encounter such special individuals in the future.

Changing the offensive route is meaningless and will only disrupt the original offensive rhythm."

Nils nodded, then asked, "You and Alan both suffered considerable damage in the battle just now. Do you want to rest for a while before setting off again?"

Eric did not refuse. Alan just looked miserable. In fact, for a giant beast king like him, this was only a superficial injury.

While he was communicating with Nils, Alan's injuries were recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.

However, having just experienced a high-intensity battle, Alan does need some time to recover his strength.

Otherwise, if he encounters the King of Beasts again, even if he is not on the same level as the Storm King, Alan will probably find it difficult to deal with him.

As for himself, he did not suffer any injuries.

During the battle with the Storm King, the other party never took him seriously.

He simply ignored his own attacks, and his final active attack only knocked him to the ground.

With his physical strength, even if he smashed through the ground for dozens of meters when it came into contact with him and buried himself in it, he would not suffer any harm.

However, the burden of pre-drawing future power on oneself is too great, and it cannot be used continuously in a short period of time.

For a period of time, the fleet would only have Alan, the top-tier fighter below the legendary level. "Let's rest for half a day from now on, and then we'll continue our journey."

A normal behemoth king may need a long time to recover his strength after a great battle.

But there are round beads compressed by special terrain in Alan's body, which absorb energy every moment. It only takes half a day at most to fully restore his physical strength.

"Okay, I'll arrange it now."

Half a day later, the entire fleet once again headed in the direction planned previously.

Although the civilizations of other gods' followers have also started plans to conquer the giant beast tribes outside the three major safe zones.

But the entire world of giant beasts is extremely vast. Unless they deliberately approach, the Kingdom of Dawn and the civilizations of other gods’ followers will not have any contact for a while.

In contrast, the Kingdom of Dawn has been rapidly conquering many tribes of giant beasts, making the area covered by the sky larger and larger.

However, the situation was not so smooth for the other gods' clan civilizations.

Although they were able to conquer many giant beast tribes without relying on the king of the giant beasts.

But the effect is still far inferior to the King's Certificate, and the costs required are much higher.

Moreover, the other gods' clan civilizations do not have an all-round war megastructure like the Sky City that can provide them with extremely detailed intelligence support.

When they conquered those giant beast tribes, they were not aware of their specific strength.

You can only prepare enough troops in advance and conquer them by pushing forward step by step.

Although victory can be achieved, the process will inevitably cause a huge waste of manpower and material resources.

Therefore, even though the number of armies of the other three temporary alliances far exceeded that of the two armies of the Kingdom of Dawn, their conquest efficiency was much lower.

Not to mention that the army deployed by the Kingdom of Dawn to the Behemoth World has not yet fully arrived.

As time went by, the First Army of the Glory Expeditionary Corps officially arrived in the Behemoth World.

"Admiral Anna, welcome! With your joining us, our chances of achieving final victory will be greatly improved."

In the Sky City, Eric looked at the determined woman in front of him and said with a smile.

"Except for some seriously injured soldiers and those in special circumstances, all soldiers of the First Army have arrived.

Although they had just experienced a defeat, now was the time when they were most eager to fight.

I hand them all over to you, hoping you can lead them to final victory and make up for the shame of last defeat."

Anna directly expressed her attitude and said she would not compete with Eric for the power of command.

According to the custom within the Glory Expeditionary Corps, if joint operations are required.

When the comprehensive strength of the major group armies is similar, they will generally be jointly commanded by their commanders.

The overall strength of the Seventh Army is significantly different from that of the Second Army, and Eric is the highest person appointed by the kingdom.

The supreme command will undoubtedly fall on Eric.

But the First Army is different. They are the army with the strongest comprehensive strength in the entire Glory Expeditionary Corps.

Its army even has more than 600,000 troops, and the number of basic legions has reached as many as 18, which is nearly twice that of the Seventh Army.

They belong to the same echelon as the Second Army. If they are unwilling to actively cooperate, it will not be easy for Eric to command the entire First Army to fight.

"Commander, this seems to be inconsistent with our usual rules..."

When Anna finished speaking, some of the senior officials of the First Army behind her immediately became uneasy.

They came to this world without stopping just to make up for the losses caused by their last failure.

But if you cannot obtain command, you can only unconditionally cooperate with the actions of other armies.

In the end, even if they could achieve final victory, the First Army would not be able to gain much benefit when it came to rewarding merits, which was somewhat inconsistent with their original intention.

Seeing the reactions of those senior executives, Anna's eyes turned cold.

It was originally just a failure in a foreign war, which was not something difficult to accept for the major armies.

Given the size of the First Army, one or two failures will not have much impact on them.

However, the top leaders of the many worlds behind the scenes wanted the First Army to participate in another world's foreign war in such a short period of time.

Years of foreign wars and contact with civilizations from different worlds will affect some living habits and even cognition to varying degrees.

But within just one month, he had to adjust his condition to prepare for the next world to be conquered.

This is a considerable burden for most soldiers.

Anna was also well aware of the intentions of those senior executives.

The high-level officials who reacted strongly to her giving up command at this moment were also those who were highly bound to the forces of many worlds.

According to past practice, these senior executives will definitely be replaced.

This time, due to special circumstances, their position was retained, but they were also more eager for victory in this foreign expedition.

Anna has always been disgusted with this kind of behavior of putting personal interests above the interests of many soldiers.

Under her cold gaze, the senior executives lowered their heads, some not daring to meet her gaze.

At least within the First Army, Anna still possesses almost absolute authority.

Seeing that the atmosphere at the scene had become a little grim for a moment, Eric quickly tried to smooth things over: "I will do my best to lead everyone to the final victory.

The First Army's contributions during this process will definitely receive due rewards."

Just like that, the reinforcements of the First Army officially arrived.

The number of troops deployed by the Kingdom of Dawn in the Behemoth World has exceeded one million.

An army composed of millions of extraordinary people, if we don’t take into account the legendary existence, is a force that can subvert everything in any small plane.

With the addition of the First Army, the Kingdom of Dawn's expansion of the sky can be accelerated significantly.

By the third year after the Dawn Kingdom's army arrived at the Behemoth World, the clan civilizations of the major gods had basically divided up the entire Behemoth World.

The sky curtain lowered by the major gods almost completely covered the entire world of giant beasts.

The few areas that have not yet been covered by the sky are restricted areas where taboo life exists.
