Chapter 1614: Chapter 1079: Steel Beast
Actually, Kasha and Akara don’t understand why Duanmu Huai is so anxious. In their view, fighting demons is a long-term task, and if necessary, spending years or even decades is not impossible.
But Duanmu Huai can’t wait!
For him, one month at most, after which he must return to his original world! He can’t waste ten or so years here, right?
But the problem is, there’s really no way for now.
Duanmu Huai wants to directly go over and kill Andariel, then leave, but the problem is even if he defeats Andariel, there aren’t enough people here to hold the Monastery. He might leave and then the enemy cos right back… getting into a war of attrition would be very frustrating.
Based on Deckard Cain’s description, Duanmu Huai has almost figured out what tricks the Subspace creatures are playing in this world. According to Cain, there was a rebellion in Hell before, where four Demon Kings, including Andariel, rebelled against the Three Pri Evils, sealing them in the Soulstone and expelling them from Hell.
Of course, as a Judge, Duanmu Huai knew right away what kind of mischief these bastards were up to.
Subspace creatures have no physical form, so they can’t stay in the real world. Even if they are sealed in the Soulstone, that counts as a physical entity, allowing the Three Pri Evils to exploit this loophole and smuggle themselves into the real world. Next, they just need to play their tricks and find hosts, then let the earlier smugglers lead the latter ones, bringing the remaining four Demon Kings here—it would be a complete infiltration, folks!
So this so-called rebellion, in Duanmu Huai’s view, is simply a case of Zhou Yu hitting Huang Gai, both parties willing to play along.
What frustrates him is that not only did this trick fool the humans, but even the angels got deceived………
Currently, the various disruptions on this planet actually originate from the Subspace’s invasion of the real world. It’s like when the Chaos Legion attempted to perform evil rituals among the Blue Elves to sever the entire Milky Way, blocking their communication and transport. The demons in this world haven’t reached that stage yet, but they’re getting close.
Therefore, as long as these seven smuggling bastards are wiped out, the interference can be eliminated, and Duanmu Huai can find a way to contact the Tribunal!
Thus, Duanmu Huai has no choice but to change his strategy, obediently waiting for the Kingdom’s aid—impossible!
If the mountain won’t co to , I’ll go to the mountain!
So Duanmu Huai left Naruse Mio and Tower City Kitten at Rogge Camp, and flew back to the Royal City himself, where he saw………
“You still haven’t left?!”
Seeing the soldiers on the square, Duanmu Huai almost spat blood, and Captain ld scratched his head awkwardly.
“It’s only been a day, we need to urgently assemble troops, and gather supplies and requisitions……”
“How many days until departure at your pace?”
“The fastest would be leaving tomorrow, reaching the Blood Wasteland…… might take about seven days.”
“…………”
Hearing Captain ld’s answer, Duanmu Huai was in despair.
With that, half a month for a round trip would be gone already! What’s there to play anymore!
“It’s too troubleso!”
“Even if you say so………”
Facing Duanmu Huai’s complaints, Captain ld was also helpless. After all, deploying an army is no easy task; assembling troops, preparing supplies, all require ti. In fact, they’ve already started preparations imdiately after receiving the report from the Blood Wasteland yesterday, and in Captain ld’s view, that’s already considered fast.
“This won’t do, this would take forever.”
Duanmu Huai shook his head, then opened his inventory and scanned through it again… suddenly his eyes lit up.
“Captain ld.”
“Yes, Brave Lord, what are your orders?”
“If you could reach the Blood Wasteland today, do we have enough manpower?”
“This……… do you have a way?”
Captain ld isn’t stupid, he knows these heroes from an alternative world possess unimaginable strength. Not to ntion the towering tal Cathedral that shocked him earlier. Moreover, they’re God’s envoys (as the Old Pope referred to them), so it’s not surprising for them to do sothing extraordinary, right?
“To attack the Monastery occupied by Andariel, how many people are needed?”
“At least two knight orders……”
“What’s the situation now?”
“As for soldiers, without considering supplies, they can depart at any ti.”
This ti, Captain ld’s answer was decisive. The so-called “an army marches on its stomach” suggests that gathering soldiers itself won’t take much ti. The main issue lies in the consumption of food supplies on the road. You can’t expect soldiers and war horses to march into battle on empty stomachs, can you?
“Is there a spacious area outside the city?”
“The plains outside the east gate can gather the army… Do you have a plan?”
“I have sothing that should be able to transport a sufficient number of soldiers to the Blood Wasteland in one day at the fastest speed.”
Duanmu Huai glanced at the inventory and replied, and upon hearing Duanmu Huai’s answer, ld was delighted.
“If that’s true, I can summon the soldiers imdiately!”
“Alright, follow .”
Duanmu Huai imdiately set off, leading Captain ld to the east gate of the Royal City. Indeed, it was a green field, quite refreshing as scenery, though Duanmu Huai was not concerned about that.
“Alright, this area should be enough.”
Looking at the plains in front of him, Duanmu Huai nodded, then lightly swiped his hand in the inventory, and then…
“Boom!!”
A massive object suddenly appeared from thin air, landing heavily on the plains!
“What, what is this!?”
Even though Captain ld had prepared himself ntally while following Duanmu Huai here, he was still so startled upon seeing the massive object that he nearly fell on his buttocks!
It’s no wonder Captain ld was so shocked. This tal creation appeared fortress-sized, and although he didn’t know what it was, he guessed it was a vehicle—after all, it had wheels!
But aren’t these wheels a bit too large?
Standing in front of the wheel, Captain ld felt so small that he was about the size of a bolt on the hub!
“So, this vehicle should be capable of transporting soldiers, right?”
Duanmu Huai clapped his hands, looking at the pale-faced Captain ld. This was a toy Duanmu Huai had snagged from UNSC after taking out the Star Alliance in another galaxy—the M510 Mammoth Ultra Heavy Mobile Fortress Platform!
This behemoth asured 70 ters in length, 32 ters in width, 27 ters in height, weighing a staggering 484 tons. The reason Duanmu Huai was drawn to this thing was simple: it was big enough, and its internal space was spacious!
Although the Tribunal also had its own vehicles, given Duanmu Huai’s height and the size of the Night Guard, a transport truck couldn’t fit many people. In contrast, a large transport vehicle like the Mammoth was the most comfortable for Duanmu Huai. Its interior space seed as vast as a plaza, not cramped like a green commuter train packed tight as a can of sardines… With his size, finding a transport vehicle that felt spacious wasn’t easy.
If there’s a downside, it’s that this thing can’t hit high speeds, which is a bit of a letdown. Of course, in the wild, it can go anywhere without any worry.
So when UNSC expressed their gratitude to Duanmu Huai back then, he imdiately took a liking to this thing and decisively took it.
This thing was divided into upper, middle, and lower levels, each capable of holding dozens of Night Guards, which clearly ant it could hold even more regular human soldiers who were much smaller—loading hundreds on board was no problem!
As a competent military officer, Captain ld had his intellect intact. After taking a tour inside, he imdiately realized the terrifying potential of this tal behemoth. Joking aside, just this one tal beast could seize not just the Monastery, but even the Royal City couldn’t withstand it. The city walls weren’t even as tall as the vehicle’s body; a single crash might bring it all down!
Having witnessed the horror of this tal behemoth firsthand, Captain ld decisively ordered the soldiers to gather and prepare to set out.
When the soldiers assembled on the plains according to Captain ld’s orders, they were quite shocked by this tal behemoth. However, being soldiers, they quickly accepted it after Captain ld explained that “This is God’s Artifact brought by the envoy for us,” promptly boarding the transport vehicle.
Given Duanmu Huai’s assurance of reaching Rogge Camp as soon as possible, they didn’t carry too many supplies. If necessary, they could always return for another trip, right?
Right now, the most important task was to get the soldiers transported there!
“So, is everything ready?”
The reinforcents gathered quickly, and the first batch of soldiers bound for the Blood Wasteland assembled in no ti. anwhile, Duanmu Huai turned to Captain ld; his main concern now was swiftly transporting the soldiers to the front lines to take down Andariel!
“Yes, Brave Lord!”
At this mont, Captain ld was fully ard, looking both tense and excited. He stood beside Duanmu Huai, gazing out the window at the scenery, standing tall and straight.
“We’re ready to depart at any ti!”
“Good, then… let’s move out!”
With Duanmu Huai’s command, the giant tal behemoth roared to life, speeding towards the front.
