CHAPTER 412: CHAPTER 354 YAN XING’S PRESSURE_1

Yan Xing, holding the list, asked Chui Chui, "Are you sure these can be found in the real world?"

"Of course not in the real world..." Chui Chui explained to Yan Xing. "These are alchemical materials that only exist in the Magic World, and they’re extremely rare. They’re not on the supply list from Silvermane Principality..."

After Chui Chui’s explanations, Yan Xing finally understood what everything on the list was.

In layman’s terms, they were the divine treasures from stories of cultivation.

The crème de la crème of alchemical materials.

In the Magic Alchemy database Chui Chui had organized, there were numerous records of the properties of various alchemical materials.

She had noted all the materials she found useful.

Then, she added these material properties into the Magic Alchemy data model for more detailed verification to find more uses.

But results based solely on book records would certainly not be accurate, so Chui Chui thought about obtaining some of the materials useful for researching magic-conducting materials.

Thus, the list was created.

It was certain these weren’t things real-world money could buy; probably not even Gold Coins could secure them.

However, since they were related to magic-conducting materials and Chui Chui’s body upgrade, he was determined to get them.

Yan Xing placed the list under his pillow and said to Chui Chui, "The Farsight Mercenary Corps is now trapped inside Nuta City, and there’s no space for their activities on Wildwind Highlands before the war ends.

"Rather than them sitting idle, let’s have Donald take people to look for these things.

"Notify Donald to come see me in the Eternal Domain tomorrow. And prepare some reliable weapons for the Farsight Mercenary Corps. Things that are hard to find are usually in dangerous places.

"I’m tired! Any other matters can wait until tomorrow."

Yan Xing truly was exhausted. He closed his eyes and soon fell asleep.

Chui Chui didn’t turn off the projector. She lay beside Yan Xing like a little cat.

"Master, we’ll be able to meet for real very soon."

「The next day, Yan Xing awoke to a cacophony of noises.」

Wildwind Principality’s attack on the Outpost Fort had begun again.

After the previous day’s probing attacks, Anderson had figured out Eternal Domain’s troop deployment and firepower arrangement on the front line.

This time, the attack became very targeted.

Heavy, long-range magic changed from linear bombardment to pinpoint attacks. Alternating fire and ice meteors bombarded important firepower positions in Eternal Domain’s line, followed by a localized torrential downpour to wash them away.

Their ground forces didn’t attempt an all-out assault but aimed for specific breakthrough points.

Each airship was responsible for one breakthrough point, transporting numerous Mages to establish barriers in the air. They used these aerial barriers to cover their Divine Beasts, which in turn shielded the ground assault troops.

Facing Eternal Domain’s heavy anti-air artillery, the airships chose to endure the fire head-on. They seemed determined to replace every barrier that was destroyed, regardless of the cost in materiel or the Mages’ Magic Power reserves.

They aimed to shatter the defensive system Eternal Domain had established at the Outpost Fort with overwhelming force.

Facing such a fierce onslaught, the pressure on Eternal Domain’s positions greatly intensified.

Everywhere was calling for reinforcements!

Yan Xing, still riding Feiying, flew on the front lines with his Armored Gryphons. Wielding their poacher’s magic guns, they, along with the fighter planes, tore through the aerial defensive line formed by airships and Divine Beasts, creating opportunities for the Dive Bombers to strike the enemy.

The battle was fought with unimaginable brutality.

Even with Chui Chui’s assistance, fighter planes incessantly plummeted to the ground, trailing smoke.

Amidst the losses, the number of Dive Bombers dwindled.

Even the Armored Gryphons sustained damage.

On the battlefield, Yan Xing felt unprecedented pressure. Even when facing the three-headed, six-armed Ironhead, he hadn’t felt this overwhelmed.

If not for the holographic glasses displaying the number of friendly aerial units, he would have thought enemy forces completely surrounded him.

From his vantage point in the sky, he looked down upon a battlefield scarred by devastation.

At that moment, Yan Xing truly grasped how terrifying Anderson was.

It was no wonder this commander was formidable enough to compel the Orcs and Elves to unite against him.

He had established the Outpost Fort’s defense system thanks to his childhood upbringing and Chui Chui’s assistance.

Just a few months prior, Anderson had been directing battles with melee weaponry.

Now, in just one winter, he had not only taught his troops to use Alchemical Weapons but had also developed tactics that maximized their potential.

The attacking Wildwind Principality army rolled forward like a relentless boulder, intent on crushing Eternal Domain’s defenders.

Yan Xing received battlefield reports that three frontline salients had fallen.

If they weren’t retaken, a significant breach would open in Eternal Domain’s first defensive line.

Yan Xing’s order was concise: "Whoever lost it, takes it back."

Simultaneously, he ordered the rear artillery to stop playing cat and mouse with the enemy’s heavy Magic Bombardment Devices.

They were to concentrate their firepower to support the frontline.

Let each side’s heavy firepower bombard their respective targets.

Eternal Domain’s heavy artillery, guided by coordinates from Chui Chui, bombarded the advancing Wildwind Principality army, preventing their reinforcements from reaching the frontline troops.

Eternal Domain’s infantry, who had lost their positions, seized the opportunity to launch a counter-attack. After a fierce battle, they finally reclaimed the lost ground.

However, with Eternal Domain’s artillery no longer focused on counter-magic, Wildwind Principality’s large-scale magic assaults became even more unbridled.

Every moment, large numbers of personnel from both sides perished under the bombardment of shells and magic.

Casualties skyrocketed, yet the two armies remained locked in a deadly struggle on the front lines.
