Chapter 1019: Mount Rainier War of Attrition
Otas is a god-level psychic, and Lai is a god-level mentalist. Both of them are magic professions.
In fact, except for Cecilia who is a psychic warrior and Plant who is a psychic mecha master, the other god-level Skrulls are psychic and mentalists, and the upper limit of these two professions is higher.
At this time, circles of psychic energy surrounded Otas. The psychic energy refracted colorful brilliance due to different vibration amplitudes. The psychic halo around Otas looked gorgeous;
Lai's mental power was like a black hole. The huge mental siphon formed a tiny vortex, as if to suck in everything around.
The two of them were suspended in the sky, which was really magnificent and awe-inspiring.
But the humans on Blue Star were not afraid at all.
Su Yu looked at the two of them and smiled, "I know your base has strong defenses, and it's hard to break through with our limited manpower.
But if we can't break through, will we stop fighting?
You Skrulls still have the advantage in the current battle. Do we have to surrender directly just because you have the advantage?"
Su Yu turned to the Blue Star warriors behind him and shouted, "Everyone, come with me! Let the Skrulls see how powerful we are!"
"Okay, Mr. Ke!" Su Yu was responded to by a tsunami-like voice.
Under the leadership of Emperor Taizong, the Tiangang Beidou formation quickly started to operate.
Players actively used buff spells and amplification props, and the buffs were stacked layer by layer. The colorful amplification aura greatly improved everyone's comprehensive strength;
Su Yu summoned two space lords [Singettinas] to the front;
Old senior Yang Jian used the Eight-Nine Mysterious Art, and the trident suspended beside him burst into golden light;
Morning Star's [Star Rainbow Focus] did not hesitate at all, and directly broke out of the claws and printed on the force field shield of the base;
Alice also reacted quickly and immediately used [Substitute Scarecrow] to cooperate with Morning Star.
The war began like this!
……
There is actually nothing to say about this war afterwards, because both sides fought quite calmly.
Before the war began, Su Yu carefully observed the defense layout inside the base.
After careful observation, he quickly concluded that the defense layout inside the base was too strong, and it was almost impossible to break through with their strength.
Since it cannot be broken, it is necessary to change the idea immediately.
After the battle began, Su Yu changed the battle strategy and asked the high-level masters of Blue Star not to output at full strength, but to use only conventional attacks for continuous consumption.
Since they could not break through this spring, they could only consume as much strength as possible from the defenders in the base.
Otas and Lai are old monsters who have lived for thousands of years. They can be said to be cunning and treacherous. They keenly guessed the thoughts of the Blue Star people at the beginning of the battle.
Since the Blue Star people want to consume, then consume! They are willing to accompany them to the end!
And Otas was also relieved.
Not long ago, the Skru God Elizabeth was besieged by the Blue Star side at the Kosciusko Spring and almost fell. This incident left him with a big psychological shadow.
Elizabeth's strength is much stronger than both him and Lai.
Elizabeth is a mid-level god close to the upper level of the god level, and the two of them are just ordinary lower-level gods. The combined strength is equivalent to Elizabeth!
So from the bottom of his heart, Otas really doesn't want Su Yu to make any desperate moves, such as attacking the spring without remembering sacrifices or costs.
Now the two sides are fighting each other, which can be said to be the best situation for them.
…
So, the two sides entered into a sustainable mutual consumption.
The Blue Star side used the cat Morning Star's [Star Rainbow Focus] to continuously attack the force field shield.
The Skrulls kept repairing and reinforcing the force field shield, and occasionally used laser weapons and antimatter railguns to sneak attack the weaker defense areas of the Blue Star people.
However, because the firepower of the Skrulls' sneak attack was too weak, and Emperor Taizong operated the Tiangang Beidou formation without any leaks, it failed to cause the Blue Star side to lose personnel or be injured.
The two sides continued to consume each other.
…
The whole battle lasted for a total of two hours.
After two hours, the strength of the six or seven-level strongmen of Blue Star was severely depleted, and almost everyone had only 50% of their strength left.
Of course, the Skrulls were not having a good time either.
Although they were guarded by the base, each of them had a very serious consumption of psychic energy, and even the force field shield became dim and a little unsustainable.
It was really impossible to continue fighting at this point. So Su Yu called off the troops and led the Blue Star high-ranking officers to retreat, ending the war.
…
After the war, the Blue Star high-ranking officers went to the sub-base closest to the spring of Mount Rainier.
The Blue Star United Government has built a base in the western suburbs of Seattle, and now the base is full of allocated psychic tanks.
Su Yu led a large force into the base. Without wasting time, everyone immediately distributed several psychic tanks to each person and started absorbing them to quickly restore their strength.
Everyone's strength was generally consumed by about 50%, and it took about 4 hours to recover.
Su Yu was not idle during these 4 hours.
While absorbing psychic energy, he ordered AI Blue Whale to calculate the psychic energy consumption of both sides in the previous battle.
Maybe because the overall calculation was too complicated, AI Blue Whale calculated it for more than ten minutes before calculating the result.
She said to Su Yu: "Su Yu, according to calculations, the ratio of psychic energy consumption between Blue Star and Skrull is about 1:1.26, and we do not have an absolute advantage.
However, in addition to psychic energy, the Skrulls also consume huge amounts of electricity (laser weapons, the load of various equipment and weapons in the base), antimatter railgun shells and other resources. Overall, we have made a lot of money."
Hearing the conclusion drawn by AI Blue Whale, Su Yu nodded: "Well, since we have made a lot of money, let's do the same! After 4 hours, everyone will be back to their prime, and then we will continue to fight a war of attrition with the Skrulls!"
...
Just like that, 4 hours later, the Blue Star warriors who had recovered their prime visited the Rainier Spring again, and the two sides started a new round of attrition war.
The war continued like this.
In the next two days, the two sides fought a total of 4 battles, each lasting two hours.
A large amount of psychic energy and resources were invested in the battlefield, and they were quickly consumed during the battle.
The Skrulls have plundered a large amount of spiritual energy on Blue Star in the past 10 months, and they are not at all weak with these spiritual energy as a foundation;
The Blue Star people have spiritual energy springs of all sizes to support them, and they also earned a lot of spiritual energy from doing business on Skrull Star some time ago, so they have a rich family background.
Both sides put a lot of spiritual energy into this war at all costs, consuming it to the maximum extent.
In these four battles, because the combat pressure was not very high, the Blue Star side also played a lot of tricks and made a lot of attempts.
For example, in the second battle, Zhong Feng used 1,000 tons of gold to exchange 200 [Angels] from the mercenary camp and arranged them into the Tiangang Beidou formation.
[Angels] are best at healing and releasing various buff spells, and can also restore the mana of player monks, which is very suitable for the "battle formation" of the Tiangang Beidou formation.
Joining the battle formation, Zhong Feng commanded the [Angels] to release buff spells and sing back blue songs. Each [Angel] can be used as a "power bank".
But these [Angels] were only used once by the Blue Star humans, and they were no longer used in the third battle.
The reason is simple - the level of [Angels] is too low!
Although [Angels] can restore mana and cast buff spells, they are only level 5. Their lack of strength means that neither buff spells nor mana restoration songs have much effect on level 6 or 7 player monks.
And the more critical point is that the individual strength of [Angels] is poor, so they need to be stacked in large quantities to be effective.
And a large number of stacks will greatly reduce the flexibility of the entire formation.
With 200 [Angels] placed in the formation, Emperor Taizong's control and command difficulties have greatly increased.
The Blue Star side can barely use the standing output, but if the war starts two months later, such a formation will only expose a lot of flaws to the enemy.
Therefore, the Blue Star side will no longer use [Angels] in the third battle.
The mercenary camp certainly does not accept refunds, so Zhong Feng can only arrange them to a base near Seattle, responsible for singing blue songs when the high-level masters of Blue Star are resting.
...
In addition to the [Angel] army, the Blue Star humans also made other attempts.
For example, they threw high-yield nuclear weapons at the force field shield, used the Skrulls' best three-piece set (floating vehicles, mechas, and drone swarms) to attack the base, and suddenly teleported away to attack the McKinley Spring in Alaska in the middle of the battle... and so on.
The Blue Star side often tried various tactics, regardless of whether they succeeded or not, just as training.
The Skrulls remained motionless, sticking to the force field shield and rarely fighting back, just like a turtle hiding in its shell.
...
After the four battles, the time came to March 25.
In the four battles, no one on both sides died, and no one was seriously injured. Only a few unlucky people were slightly injured.
However, after four battles, the battle of Mount Rainier Spring is about to come to an end.
The reason is simple-Prime Minister Cao and the First Emperor are coming back!
According to the observations of the Skrulls, the end secret realm has now reached its most unstable moment and is expected to end today.
As soon as the secret realm of the terminal is over, Prime Minister Cao and the First Emperor will definitely return to Blue Star.
With the addition of these two peak god-level fresh forces, the Mount Rainier Spring will definitely not be able to be defended, there is no doubt about that.
So two days ago, the defenders of the Mount Rainier Spring had already begun to evacuate. First, the staff responsible for logistics evacuated, followed by ordinary soldiers, and finally officers...
At the end of the fourth war, the Skrulls in the base had evacuated completely, leaving only two god-levels and more than 200 high-level strongmen still stationed at the spring.
However, they had already packed up and were ready to run away at any time.
…
At 1 a.m. on March 25, the Blue Star high-level launched the fifth attack on the Mount Rainier Spring.
When Su Yu and other high-level strongmen arrived above the Mount Rainier Spring, they saw that the base had been evacuated completely. Only more than 200 Skrull high-levels were left gathered at the space crack above their heads, ready to leave at any time.
"It seems that this is our last battle!" Looking up at the Skrull high-levels above his head, Su Yu sighed.
"Yes." Zhong Feng added, "Prime Minister Cao and the First Emperor should be returning today. The Skrull defenders in the three springs of Rainier, Elbert, and McKinley have all retreated. From today on, the only thing we need to pay attention to is the Mount Fuji spring!"
"Yes, only the Mount Fuji spring is left, but this spring is more important than all the previous ones combined." Su Yu turned around and said loudly to all the high-level Blue Star experts behind him:
"Don't waste time, let's go together! Today we will take back all the springs except Mount Fuji!"
"Okay Mr. Ke." Players and monks responded loudly, and a large number of buffs rose up in the crowd.
Cat Chenxing didn't wait for Su Yu to remind him, and immediately used [Star Rainbow Focus] and threw it towards the force field shield.
The light spot created by [Star Rainbow Focus] streaked across the sky like a meteor, hitting the force field shield directly.
Alijie's [Stand-in Scarecrow] had been prepared for a long time. Before the light spot arrived, it was set up in front of the force field shield, and the scarecrow's body was used to catch the meteor-like light spot.
Everything went so smoothly, they had practiced the same coordination dozens of times.
However, this time seemed different from the dozens of times before.
Just when the light spot hit [Stand-in Scarecrow], the cats Chenxing and Alijie were stunned at the same time.
Not only them, but also seniors Su Yu, Yang Jian, and the player monks in the Tiangang Beidou Formation were also stunned at the same time. The attack that had been preparing to go off suddenly stopped, and the formation came to a brief stagnation.
The reason why everyone was stunned was because just when they were about to take action, the force field shield suddenly disappeared!
It turned out that just before the Blue Stars took action, Otas saw the right opportunity and directly canceled the force field shield in the base.
The force field shield was cancelled, and the Blue Star man instantly lost his attack target, so he could only stay in place and looked up at the senior Skrull above him.
Otas met the Blue Star man's gaze and said with a smile: "We have fought four times. Now this consumption is completely meaningless. Let's give this spring to you!"
He looked at seniors Chenxing, Su Yu and Yang Jian and said, "Three of you, let's fight to the death again at the spring of Mount Fuji in two months!"
After saying that, without looking back, he calmly led the high-level Skrull experts into the space crack and disappeared.
All the construction equipment in the base also self-destructed the moment Otas left, and brilliant "fireworks" exploded from the ground of the base. The Skrulls remained as before, leaving only a completely destroyed and useless base for the Blue Stars.
Watching Otas' disappearing figure, Su Yu couldn't help curling his lips: "Do you have the qualifications to fight me to the death? It would be more like Plante or Manina III."
Now that the Skrulls have withdrawn, things will be much easier to handle after that.
Su Yu said to all the Blue Star powerhouses: "Let's go into the spring. Let's concentrate on putting out the fire. At the same time, remember to be careful about the hidden mines left by the Skrulls.
As soon as this base was taken care of we set off to the Mount Elbert springs and recovered all three springs today! "
"Okay, Mr. Ke!" everyone replied at the same time.
