Global Catastrophe: I Became the World Tree-Chapter 282 - 199: Turn the Tide, Stand Your Ground_2

Of course, to maintain a sense of dignity, it wasn’t ideal to manifest in the form of tree roots.

That wasn’t conducive to harvesting the Power of Faith.

Hence, the Dragon King made his appearance, condensing the Dense Fog Giants in a spectacular scene.

Ye Feng’s tree roots were concealed within the Dense Fog Giants.

At this time, after the shock had passed and the soldiers and officers regained their composure, they couldn’t help but let out a burst of exhilarated cheers.

Especially as the number of Dense Fog Giants in the field increased, the cheers grew even louder.

Then Ye Feng felt a continuous stream of the Power of Faith gathering towards the King Cobra.

Regrettably, there were still too few people here, barely more than 90,000 in total. Even with the reinforcements that arrived later, there were only around a few hundred thousand, which was nowhere near the population of a city with several million residents.

Still, the Power of Faith consolidated by these people could gather around 1,000 points per minute, which wasn’t so bad.

Ye Feng was even considering suggesting to Bai Yinghui and others, if the battle went well, to stream it live on the battlefield or something.

Bang bang bang!

Boom boom boom!

The silence on the field only lasted for a moment; the fierce battle re-ignited swiftly as the beasts and skeleton creatures launched another attack.

However, this time it was completely Ye Feng’s domain, as 20 Dense Fog Giants completely blocked the advance of the Forbidden Area Creatures.

Moreover, Ye Feng’s attacks were swift and decisive. The onlookers watched as the tails of the Dense Fog Giants swept and slashed through the ranks; the numbers of both skeleton creatures and beasts were rapidly depleting.

The first wave of over 150 Forbidden Area Creatures was wiped out in mere seconds.

And almost all of them were taken down by Ye Feng, with the military contributing to less than five kills combined.

But before the crowd could get excited, a long howl from Tian Yun within the Forbidden Area signaled the main force’s change of tactic, as they did not concentrate their assault on a single defensive line.

Whether they had already emerged from the Forbidden Area or were still inside, they dispersed quickly, attacking other defensive lines instead of engaging in a pitched battle with Ye Feng’s Dense Fog Giants.

Even though Ye Feng had conjured a surprising 20 Dense Fog Giants, beyond Tian Yun’s expectations, the previous strategy remained viable.

Although the Forbidden Area wasn’t vast, it was certainly not small, and it was impossible for just 20 Dense Fog Giants to defend every position.

Even 100 Dense Fog Giants probably wouldn’t be enough, let alone 20.

Observing the opponent’s tactics, Ye Feng frowned slightly. Although he could indeed increase the number of Dense Fog Giants to 100,

each one would then be formed from only 5 tree roots. Even with the additional power from Spiritual Attachment, they could only exert a force of 200 tons.

Despite still having an absolute advantage in strength, it was impossible to achieve instant kills with just double the power. freeweɓnøvel.com

If he were to become entangled with the enemy, the kill rate might be even slower than it was now.

Therefore, after some consideration, Ye Feng decided not to change his strategy and to maintain the state of having 20 Dense Fog Giants.

After all, he wasn’t the only one defending here; the military power on his side couldn’t be overlooked.

Ye Feng’s demands of them were not high; as long as they could delay the enemy until he arrived, he could quickly settle the battle.

Moreover, he had more than one trick up his sleeve. He also had the Ability to Control Heaven and Earth that he could use for auxiliary attacks.

Right now, his system panel still had over 5 million points of the Power of Faith! He had been saving them for exactly this kind of situation.

Having settled on a strategy, Ye Feng immediately used the Mutated Parrot to find Bai Yinghui and shared his plan with him.

"Alright, no problem. Please tell the Dragon King that as long as our soldiers are here, the position will not be lost," Bai Yinghui immediately stated, feeling much less pressure.

After all, being asked to hold the enemy is a completely different concept from being asked to kill them.

Boom boom boom!

Ratatat!

The battle quickly escalated into an intense state.

Skeleton creatures and the beast army, madly charging at the defensive line from all directions.

On the human camp’s side, they were also desperately pouring out firepower.

In this type of holding battle, even heavy machine guns and rocket launchers could actually play a significant role.

For heavy firepower like infantry fighting vehicles, Destroyer Hand Cannons, and main battle tanks, adjustments were made during attacks to primarily target the enemy’s lower half.

As long as the enemy’s legs were injured, it could effectively delay their movement speed.

Additionally, with Ye Feng’s 20 Dense Fog Giants swiftly killing the creatures in the forbidden area, the situation barely stabilized.

Of course, this was only temporary. After inspecting the human camp’s response plan, Tian Yun promptly increased the rate of sending troops.

Previously, they had been probing, so they hadn’t maximized the efficiency of the portals, maintaining a mere thirty percent transmission rate.

But now, with Tian Yun’s order, the hundreds of thousands of troops ready to go in the different space were passing through the portals at the fastest speed, arriving here to fight.

Suddenly, the pressure returned to the human camp.

At this point, Ye Feng could no longer afford to hold back.

He quickly deployed his Ability to Control Heaven and Earth.

Ye Feng’s first choice, naturally, was to unleash lightning attacks.

And he discovered that this Heaven and Earth seemed to have a natural hostility towards forbidden area creatures, allowing his lightning attacks to double in strength for the same energy consumption.

If he used his full power to unleash the Ability to Control Heaven and Earth, condensing 50,000 points of Power of Faith for his lightning, it would not just kill these Fifth Order enemies. Even if the beasts were at the Sixth Order Peak, they could probably be struck dead.

Of course, Ye Feng couldn’t actually do that because the consumption was too great.

A single lightning attack with 50,000 points of Power of Faith meant that with his 5 million plus Power of Faith, he could only attack 100 times.

So after several tries, Ye Feng quickly found the optimal ratio of consumption.

Lightning attacks, condensed with slightly over 5,000 points of Power of Faith and with the added double strength bonus, when used on these forbidden area creatures, could inflict substantial damage and also had a paralysis effect lasting a dozen seconds.

Soon, every soldier and officer saw the second ability of these Dense Fog Giants—their foreheads’ horns could actually release lightning.

Those thick bolts of lightning, whether striking mutated skeletons or beasts, managed to inflict significant injury on them, and more importantly, came with a paralysis effect.

On the battlefield, being temporarily paralyzed meant becoming a sitting duck.

As long as the soldiers focused their fire on the enemy’s head, whether it be the main battle tank’s depleted uranium armor-piercing bullets or the continuous shooting from the Destroyer Hand Cannons, the enemy could be killed.

Of course, even though the energy consumption for discharging lightning was reduced to 5,000 points of Power of Faith, Ye Feng’s 5 million points of Power of Faith could at most allow for 1,000 discharges.

And it was clear that the number of creatures that could breach the defenses would definitely be more than a mere thousand.

Therefore, Ye Feng only used the Power of thunder and lightning to attack when the situation was dire, such as when skeleton creatures or beasts broke into the defensive line and began a massacre, and he was unable to get there in time.

In such cases, there would certainly be casualties among the military personnel, but as the saying goes, what war doesn’t have casualties?

So, once Ye Feng revealed this trump card of his Power of Faith, the stalemate was once again maintained.

However, seeing such a situation, the military’s higher-ups were not disappointed. On the contrary, they even showed delight.

Because as long as they waited for their reinforcements to arrive, especially the arrival of the large provincial military district forces, they could break the stalemate and win the war.

As for Ye Feng, he too was in a good mood.

Previously, he had been directing the battle through Possession; even when he personally took part, it was still through remote manipulation using his Ability to Control Heaven and Earth.

This was actually the first time he had used his physical body to fight.

So this sensation of overwhelming power was truly exhilarating.

Additionally, by using his real body in combat, he could make use of another important ability— the Power of Devouring.
