Calamity Dragon, Starting with the Cultivation of Knight Families

Chapter 184 Seven Days of Preparation, the War Begins!

Glacier City, hotel front desk.

"Sir, I'm so sorry, but due to the highly likely possibility of an alien war, our hotel will be temporarily closed. Would you like to check out now?"

"By the way, out of humanitarian considerations, our hotel is aware that tickets to leave the North Continent are now very difficult to buy, and even land transportation is somewhat paralyzed."

"Therefore, you may choose to stay at this hotel, but we cannot guarantee your safety."

"Of course, we will also have some staff on duty inside the hotel. We can provide services such as food and sanitation as usual. So, what do you think?"

The hotel front desk manager was present at the Lin Kedao meeting.

Lin Ke didn't take it seriously.

Of course, I chose to continue staying at the hotel.

There were also quite a few guests staying at the hotel.

After all, it was so sudden that almost no one could have predicted it.

Therefore, most travelers at present do not actually have a choice.

If you can't buy a ticket to escape, and you go to remote villages and towns, you'll be unfamiliar with the area and your personal safety will be at risk.

Therefore, at least 60% of the travelers stayed in the hotel.

However, during this time, many travelers also had a tug-of-war with the hotel for quite a while.

In short, the hotel reduced the room rate by half.

After receiving half of the refund, Lin Ke walked out of the hotel.

The streets were eerily quiet in the early morning.

It's fair to say that most of the residents of Glacier City had already fled last night.

Therefore, there are hardly any pedestrians to be seen outside the street.

It was exceptionally spacious and exceptionally quiet.

Lin Ke was not surprised by this, and without even thinking about it, he strolled outside.

We walked and looked around.

Finally, Lin Ke entered an abandoned building.

At the same time, after sensing that there were no prying eyes around, including electronic eyes, Lin Ke had a thought.

The next instant, they were already 10,000 meters in the air.

Without needing any props, Lin Ke successfully became invisible.

All of this is thanks to the fact that in the game, Lin Ke collected a large amount of blood from dragons and other dragon species. He relied on the large amount of diluted dragon blood he extracted and the new abilities generated by these bloodlines.

Lin Ke already possesses several hundred basic dragon magic abilities.

Lin Ke now possesses almost all the basic abilities related to elemental affinity.

Invisibility is just one of the minor aspects of this.

After reaching an altitude of 10,000 meters, Lin Ke only looked down at the entire Ice River City once before flying towards the outer reaches of the atmosphere.

It appears as if it keeps flashing.

Soon, Lin Ke effortlessly arrived outside the atmospheric orbit of Earth.

It was at this moment that Lin Ke realized just how terrifying the achievements of the People's Federation over the years were.

It's just outside the atmospheric orbit of Earth.

There are at least tens of thousands of satellites of varying sizes scattered throughout the area.

These satellites are interspersed in different orbits and at different locations.

However, if these satellites are insignificant compared to the outer space of the entire blue planet...

So, on the outer side of the atmosphere.

The three existing large space stations are already taking shape.

Even further, after moving some distance away from Earth's orbit, Lin Ke actually entered the outer reaches of space.

At that moment, Lin Ke transformed into a crystal dragon over ten thousand meters long.

The dragon concealed its body, sensing the negative pressure and radiation of the starry sky.

He felt nothing at all, as if everything in space was completely insignificant to Lin Ke.

As for the dragon's movement, it was merely a thought.

The dragon could then move freely in space, as if treading on land, using the space plane that rippled with light waves.

Even if he wanted to speed up his movement, all he needed to do was think of it, and the surrounding space would ripple even more, propelling Linko's dragon body to quickly traverse space and roam freely.

It does not need to breathe, nor does it need any external force.

Thus, Lin Ke was constantly surveying everything on the entire planet from the outer space of the blue planet.

Lin Ke only glanced at the three large space stations.

More than twenty astronauts live there; many are still sleeping, while others are already engaged in normal activities.

Of course, compared to all of these, the most surprising thing happened to Lin Ke after he traveled around space.

That is.

The Human Federation secretly assembled a massive weapon system on the other side of the three space stations, without informing the entire society.

Lin Ke was very familiar with this equipment.

Because the People's Federation had showcased a war equipment under development on television programs many years ago.

Railgun!!!
Yes, it was a giant railgun facility.

The entire end of the railgun resembles a giant, unfolded umbrella.

The front end is a very thick metal cannon muzzle that is about 100 meters long!

This railgun is not something that is under construction; it was completed long ago.

As it stands, there have even been tests already.

However, due to the information blockade imposed by the People's Federation, there was absolutely no news from the entire People's Federation internet.

"Wow, that's impressive. They managed to create such a big thing without making a sound?"

"However, it's not surprising. The lunar base city has already been built and is even expanding. In addition, the Mars base is also under vigorous preparation."

"Under such circumstances, it's not unreasonable for the People's Alliance to secretly go to space and assemble such a weapon without the knowledge of ordinary people."

"I just don't know how powerful such a big thing really is."

"Theoretically speaking, if this big guy fires a shot vertically from 400 kilometers away, it shouldn't be slower than the one to three minutes mentioned in the old days, right?"

"Ten kilometers per second? Is that even possible?"

Lin Ke was full of curiosity, but that was all he felt was curiosity.

Using his powerful stealth abilities, Lin Ke got a close-up look at the details of the thing that was no bigger than his own dragon claw.

Then, they left very quickly.

The reason why Lin Ke appeared in outer space this time is actually very simple.

He wanted to use the better perspective from outer space to observe the situation of the entire planet.

Let's see if there are any other weak points in space on the entire planet.

We might even look into whether there are insectoid stargates outside of space.

After observing carefully, Lin Ke left satisfied.

No. Apart from the stargate at the Arctic Circle, no other spatial nodes have been found in other regions of Earth or in outer space.

And so, they waited quietly.

Soon, the incredibly long seven days that would have seemed so long for most of Earth's citizens finally drew to a close.

Meanwhile, beneath the colorful portal of light in the Arctic Circle.

The People's Federation has made all the preparations.

In another world, the insectoids were already impatient.

------

Green Earth, a desert.

At this moment, the entire desert was teeming with insectoid beings.

These insect-men varied in height and build.

Among them, the most typical and most numerous insect-like beings are those that resemble mantises in appearance.

These mantis-men are members of the lowest rung of the Tavin insect civilization.

It is known for its rapid reproduction and its enormous numbers.

However, rapid reproduction also has its downsides.

That is, these mantis-men have a very short average lifespan.

Standing at 1.56 meters tall, their average lifespan is barely over twelve years.

Their main characteristics are rapid growth and short lifespan.

This also means that these mantis people are generally unable to accept much popularization of knowledge.

Therefore, apart from the extraordinary-ranking mantis people, almost 99% of the nearly one billion people in the entire mantis race are low-intelligence individuals.

The Dizhier usually causes a lot of chaos, not to mention that the Mantis people themselves are full of belligerent emotions.

After all, these guys were born with a pair of forelimbs that looked like sharp blades.

Therefore, this clan are born swordsmen.

But being a low-IQ person also has its advantages.

That is, these guys can be very useful low-level laborers in the Taven insectoid civilization.

The price to pay is simply for the main body of the Taven insectoids to cultivate more extraordinary mantis-men.

Then, these extraordinary mantis-men are used to control the mantis-man population, which consists of generally intellectually deficient children.

Therefore, in the Taven insect civilization, the status of the mantis people was actually no different from that of slaves.

And in the event of war, these guys would naturally be the best cannon fodder.

In fact, during the war, the Taven Zerg did not need to equip these guys with any equipment. These guys would go berserk at the sight of blood and would easily fall into a frenzy and charge into the enemy lines.

Therefore, in the ensuing war, the Taven insectoids directly conscripted over ten million of the first batch of mantises as cannon fodder.

Once the stargate opens, these guys will keep pouring into another world.

Of course, at the same time, they are the backbone of the Taven insect people.

That is, warriors from another thirty or so insectoid groups will carry jetpacks and firearms and rush directly into the other world.

These insectoid warriors are the backbone of the Tavin civilization.

Many of them are physically very strong.

The tallest are over five meters, while the shortest are between 1.8 and 2 meters.

These guys are all equipped with powerful magical protective armor, and they are armed with highly lethal multi-functional magical guns.

The moment millions of Mantismen flood into the opposite world, over a million individual Zergmen will follow suit.

Of course, also entering the field at the same time were the insectoids' reserve magic artillery units and aerospace fighter units.

Right now, right here in this vast desert.

More than ten towers, each a hundred meters tall, are converging together with incredibly powerful beams of light.

The place where they converge is a giant ring gate with a diameter of over 150 kilometers that appears in the low sky.

At this moment.

Standing around this stargate that is rapidly stabilizing and taking shape.

The countless flying mantis-men were staring intently at the stargate with their blood-red pupils.

The sky and the earth are covered by an army of nearly 20 million insectoids of various types, almost covering every inch of the desert region.

"Finally, the time of divine revelation is about to arrive!"

"Brave warriors of the gods! For the sake of the great gods, for the sake of the great Tavin civilization, go! Go and slaughter all the otherworldly beings you can see!"

"It is time to show your courage and the power of the great Tavin civilization!"

High in the sky, a terrifying figure hovered in the air like a giant centipede.

It possesses a terrifying size of over three thousand meters and is issuing a spiritual war declaration to all the surrounding insectoids in a frenzied voice.

At the same time, countless tall, humanoid figures beside him also roared in response:

"Warriors!! You must know that this battle is not only for the great god, but also for more land!"

"Brave warriors! With more land, you can reproduce freely without restriction!"

"So go! For the future of all races, and for the future of a more prosperous Tavin civilization, kill! Conquer everything! Only in this way can our civilization have a true future!"

"war!!!"

"war!!!"

"."

It must be said that most mantis people don't understand much about reason.

But when it comes to land and unrestricted reproduction, they are delighted.

Therefore, the Mantis race, who were used as cannon fodder, were naturally even more fanatical and excited.

in this way.

Amidst this deafening battle cry, finally, after the more than ten towers slowly focused their beams of light, the Star Gate, which was not yet stable in the sky, finally solidified!

The solidified stargate no longer needs any other forces to replenish or maintain it!

And that is, the very next moment after it takes shape!
The mantises, already prepared, charged towards the portal with frantic howling.

Meanwhile, in the next moment.

Right there on the ground, a large number of giant cannons roared!

These giant cannons didn't fire cannonballs, but rather giant insect spheres.

Each of these insect balls is about two meters in diameter.

Inside, it was filled with countless centipede-like worms.

The main function of these insects is toxins and parasites!

Yes.

As cannon fodder, the Taven also launched a large number of their bred parasitic beasts when the Mantis rushed toward the Stargate.

The purpose was to take advantage of the parasitic beasts' tiny size and large numbers as soon as possible to prepare a wave of overwhelming ordinary combat units from the other world.

The war has begun!
