CHAPTER 847: CHAPTER 731: WHY DOES THE ENEMY SEEM SO PATHETICALLY WEAK? (SUPERSIZED CHAPTER)

Southern end of the Seven Lustrous Federation, Red Candle City.

From the name, you know it’s a city belonging to the Red Lustrous Clan.

This city is a border city, further south, after a few mountain peaks, belongs to another nation.

A moderate-sized nation, originally one of the subordinate forces of the Seven Lustrous Federation.

Red Candle City naturally isn’t a major city.

However, the Seven Lustrous Federation is essentially a confederation of the Seven Lustrous Clans, and among these clans, there are divisions into different families and branch forces.

Each city has its affiliated family force, and also has the regular army belonging to that family.

The city walls of Red Candle City are twenty meters high, with sporadic patrol soldiers visible on them, wearing shabby armor, with only their weapons as rune weapons. They are mostly mixed-blood beastmen, subhumans, goblins, stone men, and other common races. A few months ago, there were some humans seen.

Members of the Red Lustrous Clan are not visible.

Among the Federation’s Seven Lustrous Clans, all are nobility, even within the City Defense Army, they are at least commanding officers.

The patrol soldiers were not guarding against enemy attacks, but against the occasional mutant beasts that roamed near Red Candle City, which did not warrant much attention.

Red Carlo was leisurely in his office, with indescribable sounds coming from the crystal brain in front of him.

Suddenly,

A series of urgent sounds came from outside, Red Carlo was displeased, something disrupted the critical moment...

"Commander, something’s happened, humans are attacking, attacking... uh..."

A huge roar sounded in his ears, a giant stone blown up like a cannonball slammed into the reporting ram-tribe member, caving in his chest, crashing into a side of the wall, breaking it open, his eyes bulging round, blood seeping from his mouth, limbs twitching, it’s certain he’s not alive.

Red Carlo suddenly woke up.

As a Commander, his cultivation is not low, already at Awakening Tier Perfection.

He swiftly brushed away the flying stones, his gaze sharply scanning around.

Outside the city,

Thousands of humans surged like a tide, among them high-tier awakeners using dents made by mutant beasts on the city walls to leap onto the walls in one swift move.

The city defense patrol army had many Body-shaping Realm captains and a few Source Condensation Realm ones, but against the well-equipped humans, they were not a match.

Red Carlo quickly donned his equipment.

Looking like a headless and tailless iron barrel on his body, a few tentacles extended from holes, gripping rune weapons shimmering with light.

"It’s Red Lustrous Clan people! Elite monsters!"

"Mine, mine, don’t grab! "

"Kill monsters, earn combat achievements, exchange for equipment, ooooh!"

Red Carlo saw a dozen red-eyed humans rushing, shouting words he didn’t quite understand. Angrily, he attacked, gathering scorching fireballs around him.

Boom!

Before the fireballs flew out, before Red Carlo, a series of sword and saber flashes expanded, and in the next moment, his consciousness quickly dissipated.

In his last moments, he only heard them shouting:

"Who’s credited, who’s credited? Eh, it wasn’t me who landed the final blow!"

...

Tao Sect disciples all wear the latest generation of tactical wristbands, developed by the research department.

They can record combat achievements in real-time and be used for short-distance communication in the battlefield.

Of course,

The wristband’s appearance has a fairy-tale style, looking like a hand-ring treasure — and, in fact, it is similar, storing 3-5 spells and capable of changing the situation at critical moments.

This time-limited large-scale task stipulates that, in team situations, battle achievements are evenly split, or the team itself discusses allocation. And when multiple teams target the same objective, the tactical wristband’s system has a mature and complex evaluation rules set.

Most sect disciples don’t understand, they only know one thing, the one to land the final blow can earn more achievements.

For them, most miscellaneous soldier enemies do not count achievements, only enemies of Awakening High Tier and above barely count.

Roughly each enemy counts as "1 point".

Pitifully little.

Awakening Tier Perfection barely counts as "normal monster", and with Red Lustrous Clan identity, there’s an achievement bonus, but with many monks and few meat, participating disciples feel it’s hard, the task is so hard.

...

"What’s going on with those Tao Sect disciples?"

Outside Red Candle City, Lin Chu, commanding the army, massaged his temples.

Lin’s Tribe is a human tribe located in the northern Celestine Mountain Range.

Constantly battling mutant beasts within the mountains, and aliens from the northern plains gathering medicinal herbs, Lin’s Tribe has a fierce folk and a significant population, nearly a million people. If not for being inside Celestine Mountain Range, lacking a stable environment and resources for development, Lin’s Tribe’s strength could easily develop into a moderate-sized nation.

Lin Chu is a direct lineage offspring of Lin’s Tribe, with an esteemed position, but facing Tao Sect disciples, even outer sect ones, he dared not show pride — it’s precisely why he worried more about those sect disciples getting into trouble — even though death is quite a common occurrence in large-scale warfare.

"They’ve already entered the city, advancing several kilometers further than our frontline, Commander, should we..."

Lin Chu didn’t speak.

A rough big man behind him couldn’t hold back, "I think those Tao Sect disciples just came to snatch achievements, huh? I really don’t know why they were arranged into our army, isn’t it for monitoring us!"

"Shut up!"

Lin Chu spoke, "With Tao Sect’s stature, they wouldn’t do such things as snatching achievements or monitoring. Bestowing territories is the Tao Sect’s favor to us human tribes, including those sect disciples, most of them are from Human Race. Don’t forget, we Li’s Tribe have three Heavenly Prides as Tao Sect’s inner and outer sect disciples."
