Chapter 1238 - Flying Swords



Chapter 1238: Flying Swords

Tuka Planet, in Hong Dali’s party’s command center.

“Give me all the most detailed and comprehensive maps,” Hong Dali said on the General’s chair in the command center, giving continuous commands. “Our enemy is extraordinary this time. Everyone must keep their spirits up. There must be no mistakes. Otherwise, many people will die.”

It was the first time Hong Dali was so serious in doing one thing since he had transmigrated to this dimension.

After all, this time, it was related to the life and death of too many people. He couldn’t be too careful.

“Young Master, the latest topographic map has been statistically completed.” Ling Xiaoyi walked over and said softly, “The terrain has changed a lot compared to before. The individual terrain is very complex and it’s suitable for ambushes.”

“En, let me see.” Hong Dali began to look at it. In the holographic projection in the center of the command hall, there was a magnified world map. On the world map of Tuka Planet, the two largest plates in the north and south had been tightly pushed together by Tang Zhen, forming a mountain range of tens of thousands of kilometers. This mountain range was the division of the two camps.

On Hong Dali’s side, tall mountains, ocean, forest, and plains were all transformed. Plains became hills, rivers became big rivers, and tall mountains became deep valleys thousands of meters deep.

“The terrain is really complicated, not bad.” Hong Dali nodded in satisfaction. Then, he began to look at the mountain range carefully.

“En, the highest part of the mountain range is 6,000 meters tall, the lowest 2,000 to 3,000 meters. We’re still not sure of the strength of the Cultivators on Jiang Shili’s side.” Hong Dali touched his chin, then looked at Ji Zining, who was standing in a corner. “Sister Zining, how is the preparation works of the ordinary Zergs on your side?”

“They have been prepared long ago.” Ji Zining smiled. “They’re fully-fed and ready to be dispatched.”

Zergs were the cannon fodder force chosen by Hong Dali this time. They were best for scouting out their opponent’s strength as well.

“Alright, Sister Zining, send one million Zergs to the front line first. The main thing is to test out the opponent’s strength, just touch and go.” Hong Dali nodded. Then, he looked at the leader Hong Mingbo, who came from the Hong Family to help out. “Brother Hong, you will lead the 50,000 Sky Knights for backup support. After the Zerg army goes out, they will probably not be able to fight against the opponent. At that time, I will order a retreat. At this moment, you will need to ambush. If the opponent crosses the boundary, stop them. If they don’t, return immediately, okay?”

This was considered easy. Hong Mingbo agreed immediately. “No problem!”

“En, we’ll do just that.” Hong Dali waved his hand. “This round is to test our opponent’s strength. There’s no need to overthink. Let’s set off to take a look!”

...

On the other side of the mountain, in a huge temporary palace.

Tang Zhen sat comfortably on the Dragon Throne with his eyes closed. Jiang Shili stood in the middle of the palace as he looked at the geographical model transformed by the terrain talisman and considered his tactics.

“If I’m not wrong, Hong Dali will send troops to scout first. Based on his character, he will probably send the Zergs first.” Jiang Shili stared at the mountain range in the middle and said, “I also want to know the combat power of the Zergs. En, Ma Xingzhou, lead 200,000 people to defend near the mountain range. Don’t be obsessed with fighting. Come back once you have an idea of our opponent’s strength. If the opponent retreats, don’t pursue.”

A young man in a silver-white armor cupped his fists and said, “Understood!”

“Minghui,” Jiang Shili looked at Zhao Minghui, “lead 20,000 elites for backup support. If the opponent crosses the boundary, stop them.”

“Understood!” This was a serious battle. Zhao Minghui accepted the orders immediately.

“Go. If there’s anything, report via the message talisman.” Jiang Shili waved his hand.

...

Above Dali Mountain Range, countless Zergs charged toward the mountains. Their bodies were five to six meters long, and some bigger ones were over ten meters. Flying in a group over the sky made them look like dark clouds, leaving a huge shadow on the ground.

What kind of concept was one million Zergs? It was almost equivalent to a small second-tier city flying in the sky. It looked rather frightening. Although these Zergs were cannon fodder, their combat power was quite strong.

Dali Mountain Range, the boundary created by Devil Lord Tang Zhen, was getting closer and closer.

They soon crossed the mountain. The Zergs continued to move forward. It did not take them long to see a large group of Cultivators rising into the sky with their flying swords under their feet. There were about 200,000 Cultivators and they all looked stern as they stared at the Zerg army.

“They are about to go head-to-head with each other.” Hong Dali and the others looked at the holographic projection. It was a monitoring device installed on the heads of some of the smaller Zergs. Their main function was to observe the combat strength of the other party.

In the projection, the Zergs and the Cultivators finally met each other.

The Cultivators’ flying swords were extremely swift and fierce. With a few passes, a Zerg was cut into pieces and fell onto the ground. Of course, the Zerg army was huge, after all. The Zergs bit onto the Cultivators and tore them into pieces.

The scene was disastrous. But Hong Dali knew that this was considered small-scaled in the history of Dimensional Wars.

If it was any other war, a few million people would have perished.

“These Cultivators are really powerful.” Hong Dali stared at the screen which was transmitted in real-time from the battlefield. His expression was grim as he said in a low voice, “The combat power of one Cultivator is equivalent to about five ordinary Zergs. These flying swords are very powerful, they can even pierce through the Zergs’ bone armor.”

One should know that the bone armors of the Zergs were very sturdy. In the universe, only the main canon of space carriers could easily destroy them. The Cultivators’ flying swords were extremely powerful, indeed. Although they were small in size, the penetration force was strong.

“Sister Zining,” Since they had gotten a rough idea of the Cultivators’ real strength, there was no need for more deaths. Hong Dali immediately instructed Ji Zining. “Ask the Zergs to retreat. We just need to know the opponent’s strength. They are just scouts and there’s no need for them to fight to their death.”

“Ok, no problem.” Ji Zining nodded and began to summon the Zergs back.

In the skies near Dali Mountain Range, the Zerg army dropped tens of thousands of corpses, and at the same time killed more than 10,000 Cultivators, then immediately began to return.

Although there were substantial casualties on the Cultivators’ side, they did not go after the Zergs blindly. Seeing that the Zergs were retreating, they got on their flying swords to return as well.

“It seems that Jiang Shili is really quite capable.” Hong Dali looked at the monitoring screen with a smile and said, “Their people actually did not pursue. In that case, these Cultivators are probably the weakest in their camp. En, their combat power is quite good.”

“Dali, there’s a piece of good news. Do you want to know?” After Ji Zining called the Zergs back, she smiled and reported to Dali. “Several flying swords were left in the bodies of my lovely children after the Cultivators died. They are bringing them back now.”

Flying swords! This was good stuff!

“Really?!” Hong Dali’s eyes lit up as he laughed. “This is why people always say you can find all sorts of good equipment on the dimension battlefield. It’s true! Hurry, take me to see how the flying swords work.”

They ran outside in a rush. Soon, thousands of Zergs landed on the square of the command center.

Most of the Zergs were injured and several of them had flying swords on them. The owners of those flying swords were probably dead. Hence, the flying swords remained in an owner-less state.

“So this is a flying sword?” Hong Dali pulled out a sword and looked at it carefully.

The flying sword’s workmanship was extremely exquisite with complicated patterns resembling pentacles carved on its body. The blade of the flying sword was very sharp. Hong Dali called for an armored vehicle responsible for transporting goods over. He swung the sword in his hand. The sound it made was like cutting cheese with a burning knife. With a little effort, the armored vehicle’s body was sliced open.

“This is a good sword, a good sword!” Hong Dali complimented it. “This is good stuff, it should be worth quite a lot, right?”

“A Cultivation dimension flying sword is worth two million Shenglong Dollars and above.” Gu Feifei seemed to have a good understanding of it. “If the quality is good, it’s worth more than ten million. It’s not easily available.”

Just a flying sword was worth two million Shenglong Dollars?

Hong Dali looked at the 2,000 over ordinary Zergs on the square. These ordinary Zergs all had flying swords in their bodies... that meant there were over 2,000 flying swords!

Over 2,000 flying swords, two million each, how much would that be?! Four billion Shenglong Dollars! Four billion Shenglong Dollars with no effort at all...

“Dali! That’s a lot of money!” Tang Muxin’s eyes lit up. “If we sell all the flying swords on these Zergs’ bodies, we will make four billion Shenglong Dollars!”

Everyone drew in a cold breath—although that might not sound like a lot, but how many Cultivators did Jiang Shili have on his end? He said that he would lead one billion Cultivators!

If each Cultivator had one flying sword, each worth two million...

Woah, it was no wonder humans loved fighting battles. This battle was simply too profitable! One billion flying swords worth two million each, if they sold them all, that would be two quadrillions!!!!

“En.” Hong Dali sniffled. “Xiaoyi, sell all these swords to Shenglong Star’s auction house! I have a use for this money!”

“Yes, Young Master.” Ling Xiaoyi executed his orders without any discount. “I’ll go right away.”
