Chapter 1163: The Third Frontline And Mission Requirements!
Wang Teng saw the devil moth dark apparitions executing the Dark Venom Dust during the battle just now.
It didnât seem that powerful. The gale created by a wind-element martial warrior was enough to blow the Dark Venom Dust away.
Another useless technique was added to his list.
Wang Teng shook his head in disappointment. But after some careful thought, he felt that this wasnât the case.
Mind you, not all units had a wind-element martial warrior.
The wind element was special, and there were fewer martial warriors with this attribute.
If there was no wind-element martial warrior, things would have been troublesome. The other martial warriors could push the Dark Venom Dust back with brute force, but this would only give them a short window.
The devil moth dark apparitions would release the Dark Venom Dust continuously during a battle.
Hence, whether it was a one-on-one battle or a team battle, there would be no way to stop the Dark Venom Dust if there wasnât a wind-element martial warrior in the team. In such a situation, the Dark Venom Dust was hard to deal with.
It meant that the Dark Venom Dust was an extremely useful technique.
Dark Venom Dust: 800/3000 (well-versed)
He received 1800 points of Dark Venom Dust, moving this skill from the foundation to the well-versed stage.
Wang Teng was eager to try it, so he executed the Dark Venom Dust with a pinch of his fingers. Tiny specks of powder appeared between his fingers.
Wow, the Dark Venom Dust made using the poison Force from the Demon Lotus Poison Body seems even more poisonous. I wish I could try it on someone.
He glanced at Pei Ji and the others silently.
Cough, they were all responsible subordinates. How could he have such dirty thoughts?
Wang Teng flicked his finger, and the powder dispersed in the sky.
Besides the attribute bubbles by the dark apparitions, he also collected the ones dropped by the martial warriors.
Most of them were Force attributes. There was nothing worth mentioning.
These attribute bubbles werenât big enough to induce a change in his stage.
Everyone cleared up the battlefield. Killing dark apparitions would give them military exploits. if they killed devil kings, their contribution would be higher.
The intelligence system of the military would count their contributions for them.
A martial warrior just had to link his wristwatch to the militaryâs intelligence system when he was on a mission, and it would monitor the statistics in real-time.
The system would then compare the results it received with the various images detected by the satellites scattered around the battlefields before finally recording the data for the final military exploits calculation.
There would be no errors.
Hence, it was impossible for elite families to cheat and claim fake military exploits.
Of course, if one didnât want to be tracked by the militaryâs intelligence system, he could just disconnect. That way, his contributions would be ignored.
This depended on the personâs choice.
âThe intelligence system of the Great Qian Empire might be an intelligent lifeform too. It might be more powerful than me,â Round Ball suddenly said.
âOh? How do you know?â Wang Teng asked.
âA normal intelligence system wonât be able to do such complex calculations. Do you know how difficult is it to track so many martial warriors? It has to cover numerous defense planets. The system isnât just working on No. 29 Defense Planet,â Round Ball explained.
Wang Teng nodded. Round Ball was more familiar in this aspect.
Pei Ji and the others cleared the battlefield quickly and kept the corpses of the dark apparitions in a piece of space equipment made for storing dead bodies.
Then, they returned to the battlecraft and continued heading to the third line of defense.
Pei Ji and the others glanced at Wang Teng occasionally. They wanted to speak but kept quiet in the end.
The ability of their leader exceeded their expectations.
He killed five devil kings at once. This wasnât a feat any celestial-stage martial warrior could achieve.
They thought he was a weakling, but he was just hiding his skills. He was too lazy to explain to them.
Everyone felt complicated. Astonishment, embarrassment, and many other emotions churned in their hearts.
However, they were happy to have a powerful martial warrior as their leader. This increased their safety on the mission.
They knew that if Wang Teng hadnât acted, there would be casualties after the collision with the five devil kings.
They would be laughed at by the people on the frontline if they had casualties before they reached the real battlefield.
On the battlefield, no one was afraid of death. However, everyone hoped that they could stay alive.
No one asked any questions. Knowing that Wang Teng was powerful was enough.
They started to treat him with more respect for the rest of their journey.
They gave him the respect of a formidable martial warrior.
In the universe and on the battlefields, the strong always gained peopleâs respect.
Nothing significant occurred for the rest of their journey. They met a few dark apparitions, but Arwen and the others took care of them easily.
Approximately three hours later, the Eagle Seven battlecraft reached the third frontline defense base.
From afar, they could see a large metallic battle fortress laying prone on the ground like a gigantic wild beast. With the battle fortress as its center, there was a defensive wall that seemed to have no end to it. It was 30 meters tall and made of sturdy and tough material. It was thick too.
The entire wall looked like a giant python. It was a majestic sight.
âMajor Wang Teng, we have reached the third frontline defense base,â Peggy stood up and said as she looked at the scene outside through the screen.
âLetâs land.â
âYes sir. Iâll contact the defense base first.â Peggy stopped the battlecraft in mid-air.
The battlecraft continued moving forward after their identity was confirmed. Then, it landed inside the metallic battle fortress.
They stopped in a parking space. Wang Teng and his unit alighted from the battlecraft.
âMajor, please show your identification proof.â
A team of martial warriors in battle armor walked over. The leader saluted Wang Teng as he spoke.
Wang Teng sent his identification information over.
The other partyâs expression softened a little after confirming Wang Tengâs identity. He saluted and continued, âMajor Wang Teng, welcome to the third frontline defense base.â
Wang Teng nodded. âI came here on a mission, so Iâll need to meet the commander of this base, General Darte.â
âPlease follow me. General Darte has already given his orders. You can meet him the moment you arrive.â
Wang Teng entered the battle fortress with the leader. He came to a room that looked like a resting area.
A major was already waiting for them. He came forward to welcome Wang Teng and saluted.
âMajor Wang Teng, please follow me. Iâm General Darteâs adjutant.â
Arwen and the others waited at the resting area while Wang Teng followed the adjutant to General Darteâs office.
General Darte was a heaven-stage martial warrior from the Three Eyes Race. He had long brown hair. However, he wasnât as strict and stern as General Cameron.
âMajor Wang Teng, youâre finally here.â General Darte stood up and walked out from behind his desk with a smile.
âGeneral Darte, Iâm here to cooperate with your mission,â Wang Teng bowed and replied.
He felt helpless that the people in the military saluted or bowed all the time. It was quite troublesome.
However, everyone was doing it, so he had to follow the masses.
âPlease have a seat,â Darte asked Wang Teng to sit on the sofa.
After sitting down opposite each other, Darte went straight to the point without wasting any time. He started to explain the details of this mission.
âWe received news that a dark apparitions troop has stationed themselves to the northwest of the third frontline base. We donât know their intention.
âThus, I need you to cooperate with me and head over to investigate this matter.â
âWhatâs the strength of the other party?â Wang Teng asked.
âWe know that there are low-tier devil emperors, but there wonât be more than two. Weâre not sure which race theyâre from. There are 30 to 40 devil kings and a few hundred devil lords and below.â
âTwo low-tier devil emperors?â Wang Teng was in deep thought. There was a large number of other dark apparitions too. This was a little troublesome.
Most importantly, there wasnât much effective information.
This was a little irritating.
âAlthough the numbers are big, your mission is to investigate. You do not have to fight with them,â General Darte explained, âAlso, Iâll send professional intelligence officers to assist you. Do you have any other questions?â
âI understand. Send me the location. Iâll lead my team over immediately.â
General Darte was surprised at how fast he accepted the proposal.
Mind you, he contacted many other units in the past, but after hearing the number and strength of the dark apparitions, they would beat a retreat, claiming that they werenât competent for the job.
He did force some units to go ahead with the investigation, but none of them came back.
In the end, he had no choice but to seek help from the main base and asked them to send an elite team over for this mission.
General Darte was a little doubtful when he realized that Wang Teng was just a celestial-stage martial warrior. But, since he was sent by the headquarters, there must be something special about him. They wouldnât send him over to die.
Also, if Major Wang Teng backed off after understanding the situation, it meant that he didnât have the capabilities.
He could ask the headquarters to send another unit.
âGeneral Darte, if thereâs nothing, Iâll head down and prepare for departure.â Wang Teng got up.
âAlright. Iâll send someone to contact you. You can act immediately.â General Darte nodded after witnessing Wang Tengâs speedy response.
After sending Wang Teng off, he frowned. Then, he tapped his wristwatch and called the headquarters.
