Chapter 682: 682

The other teams were also going crazy, stating that they too had occupied a base.

But Li Yao just shrugged and said, “Apologies everyone, but we have no interest in regular bases. If you want tanks, you only have two ways. One is to come up with gold, the other is to gain control of a special base. These are the coordinates to our tank factory. We can only produce ten tanks per day, so if you want one, you need to act fast. Also, if you need to replenish ammunition for your tanks, you could come to our station if you can’t find anywhere else.”

Everyone sighed in disappointment, but had no means around it. The base had already been occupied by Starfire, and while players could slaughter each other outside, they were not allowed to attack the base.

Attacking a base means standing with the demons and being considered an enemy by the angels.

Ten tanks a day, that’s so much military merit. Many people were green with envy, wondering why they weren’t as lucky.

And those who bought tanks felt like they were being conned. They occupied a base, and knew the rules of it. Going to Starfire to replenish ammunition meant that some of the military merit would end up with Starfire, too.

But they had witnessed the power of the tanks, and they couldn’t resist. So they became even more anxious, wanting to leverage the tanks to earn more military merit so they could catch up to Li Yao. In their eyes, Starfire selling tanks seemed like short-sighted behavior.

In the short term, Starfire indeed gained quite a bit of military merit, but in the bigger picture, Starfire was at a loss.

Of course, this was what they wishfully thought. How would they know Li Yao’s plan? The tank factory was merely a stopover he chose. His plan was just beginning.

“We’re actually planning to test our tanks against this Demon Cave. Would Starfire be interested in joining us?” Beast Speaker asked.

Li Yao smiled and replied, “If it had been earlier, we might have been interested. But now we are not. We can’t wait to see what the Defensive Magic Research Institute has to offer.”

“What a pity we can’t fight side by side anymore.”

Everyone was elated, in their eyes, the biggest threat in capturing the Black Tower, this special base, was Li Yao’s team. If Starfire did not participate, they would have a chance to fight for dominance.

Everyone dispersed. Even teams that didn’t get tanks didn’t want to leave in defeat. There were still a number of chances to resurrect, so it wouldn’t matter much even if they failed. But if they gained some reward, they would have hit the jackpot.

Seeing everyone leave, Li Yao let his smile fade and said, “Let’s go, let’s hurry.”

Everyone saw Li Yao’s serious look and piled into the tanks. With the roaring of the tanks, the Starfire team quickly departed the plains and chose a concealed mountainside.

After eliminating a small force of demons here, the Starfire team came to a halt again.

“Big brother, what’s going on? Why are we rushing like this? It seemed like we are running away from something.” Daimengtong asked.

Li Yao said, “You will see. If we didn’t run, we would end up like them.”

Li Yao immediately shared a bird’s eye view from the fire eagle.

The Dark Spire was emitting an enormous red light, with countless unreal portals flickering around it.

With each flicker, countless demons of all shapes and sizes surged out of the Dark Spire.

There were so many types of demons. Some were humanoid, but even more were grotesque and bizarre.

Among them were many infected creatures from the shelter world, as well as undead creatures.

The army seemed endless, and the teams that had managed to secure tanks and were planning an attack on the Dark Spire now resembled refugees running for their lives.

They fled in panic, their tanks and blade cars roaring to clear a path. All of them cursed. Only after they received the blade cars did they realize that activating them required crystals. Fifty crystals were required to activate it once, meaning that they had to kill fifty demons to break even.

But there were too many demons, seemingly infinite.

Even though they killed quite a number of demons, they didn’t have the chance to pick up any crystals.

These teams united to gather crystals, frantically operating their blade cars without caring about their own lives.

A shot from the main gun could wipe out demons in a radius of more than 100 yards, but a tank could only carry five shots of the main gun, so they didn’t dare to fire continuously.

As soon as there was a gap, countless demons would flood in.

“What the hell is this? Why are there so many demons?” The Guardian Angel was dumbfounded. If they hadn’t left, they would probably have fallen into the sea of monsters too.

Because the monsters were truly endless, the original plain had been almost filled with demons. From an aerial view, they were so densely packed that it was impossible to count their numbers.

Feng Yi suddenly said, “I think I remember seeing this Dark Spire in a book. It’s a very clear dimensional coordinate. As long as this tower exists, hell can open a transmission portal at any time.”

Everyone was left speechless as they watched tens of thousands of players desperately trying to flee, with countless players being killed in the process.

These over ten thousand players had split into two groups. One group was still on the run, the other was the unfortunate ones who had resurrected from the graveyard after death.

Dying here meant that the angel of death would resurrect you every half hour, which meant that if you didn’t resurrect in the graveyard, you would be forcibly resurrected in half an hour.

The players in the graveyard were surrounded, and the number of players in the graveyard was increasing.

Of course, the fleeing players weren’t much better off either.

The demons had noticed these people’s stubbornness. A monstrous creature, taller than ten yards, abruptly lifted a massive rock and hurled it.

The rock was thrown with a piercing shriek, directly hitting the rearmost tank and immediately causing a violent explosion.

This was the third tank to be destroyed. With the explosion of the tank, the surrounding players suffered heavy casualties.

The terrified players roared with fury. Several tanks turned back and simultaneously fired their main guns. The white light severely wounded the monster and knocked it down, but it didn’t die.

“You’re too cunning. Even if these people escape, they’ll probably die a few times, especially the tanks. I reckon they’ll be coming our way to repair their tanks and resupply ammunition soon.” Unparalleled Charm laughed.

“That’s even better, isn’t it?” Li Yao turned down the screen, there was no need to watch it anymore, and said, “As you can see, hell’s reinforcement has arrived, a never-ending stream of demons will be transmitted. The battle has just begun.”

“So what’s the next step?” asked Li’s sister, “and won’t capturing the Black Tower earn a lot of military merit?”

“Definitely, but we’re not strong enough now. As you’ve just seen, tanks are not invincible.” Li Yao took a deep breath and continued, “Next, we are going to lay low for half a day, taking a break and avoiding the first wave of demons that will expand in all directions towards the regular troops. Then we’ll fortify ourselves in the Enchantment Research Institute. After that, we’ll proceed to our real target. Only by gaining control of this special base can we maintain a little control of the situation, then we can confidently aim for first.”…
