Chapter 446: Overture to War
The war beast units commanded by the Faceless Ones had just been completely annihilated. Before the Earth Alliance could celebrate for too long, and before they could even clear the battlefield or rescue the wounded, dense swarms of space fighters appeared with a roar above Titan, surging in like dark clouds.
In the blink of an eye, they charged towards the various positions of the Human Allied Forces. Instantly, firelight shot out across the sky, and countless high-power cluster missiles and energy pulse rounds directly bombarded the exposed artillery positions of the Earth Alliance.
This time, Thanos's Joint Fleet, composed of various civilizations, deployed at least thirty thousand space fighters. Each fighter carried approximately thirty cluster missiles and energy pulse rounds.
The spectacular scene of hundreds of thousands of missiles flying simultaneously caused even Kane and the others, who were accustomed to grand spectacles, to stop their chopsticks and watch the magnificent scene.
Huge firelight bloomed across Titan's surface. Even heavy tanks and battle vehicles were rocked back and forth by the explosion shockwave.
The so-called defensive works built by the Earth Alliance using reinforced concrete were like toys before these cluster missiles. The explosion shockwave was so powerful that it even blasted the soil layer beneath the reinforced concrete dozens of meters into the air.
Large amounts of wreckage and severed limbs were mixed in with the reinforced concrete, and even the soil was stained dark red by the blood water of the Human Soldiers.
The space fighters launched just one round of attack, and it nearly destroyed all of the Earth Alliance's exposed heavy artillery positions. Nearly thirty thousand Soldiers died in this bombing.
This is the cruelty of war!
It seemed that the military force humanity was so proud of was as weak as a newborn infant when facing a true alien civilization.
"Boss Kane! Should we take action now?"
Frank's eyes, stimulated by the war aura below, faintly glowed with golden-red light. He tightly gripped a dark gold great staff as thick as a bowl in his hand.
The Classic of Mountains and Seas, Western Mountains Classic, records: "Four hundred li further west is Mount Xiaoci. Its summit is rich in white jade, and its base in red copper. There is a beast there, shaped like an ape, with a white head and red feet. Its name is Zhu Yan. Its appearance signals great war!" The Zhu Yan is inherently a ferocious beast that presides over war. Although not as famous as the Lord of War, the war below stirred Frank's Zhu Yan bloodline, making it restless.
Besides, regardless of whether it was the same Universe or not, those being beaten below were humanity. He couldn't stand by and watch fellow Earthlings being bullied by aliens, seeing the Earth Alliance clearly on the verge of collapse.
Frank fidgeted as he looked at Kane.
"They're not in a hurry, why are you?" Kane's gaze fell upon the silent communicator on the table. "I gave the High-level Staff of the World Security Council a chance. If they really can't hold on, they'll naturally contact us! Don't worry, the Earth Alliance isn't as weak as you think!"
"Put your staff away. If you're really bored, put in a few more plates of lamb," Kane said, his chopsticks leaving afterimages as he picked the last piece of lamb from the hot pot and placed it on his plate.
The Old Demon Dragon's chopsticks came up empty. Annoyed, he scooped a lamb bone from the bottom of the pot, grabbed it directly with soup and water, and took large bites. His sharp teeth even swallowed the bone along with the meat.
"Still no movement from Mephisto?" Kane picked up a piece of lamb, swirled it in the dipping sauce bowl, and popped it directly into his mouth. Chewing the delicious lamb, Kane glanced at the Old Demon Dragon.
The Old Demon Dragon shook his head. "Beelzebub and I staked him out for two days. Mephisto, that Old Fox, must have sensed something was wrong. He's holed up in his lair and refuses to come out. Killing a few of his clones doesn't have much meaning!"
"But how did I hear that you two have been collecting ancient grimoires for breaking seals all over Earth recently!" Kane picked up a bottle of dark beer in front of him, gulped down more than half of it, and his gaze fiercely swept over the Old Demon Dragon, who was happily gnawing on a bone, and Beelzebub, who was leisurely dealing with the meat on his plate.
As soon as Kane spoke, Frank's hand, which was putting in sliced lamb, paused, then he nonchalantly continued adding sliced lamb to the boiling hot pot. However, his hair faintly glowed with firelight.
Deadpool Wade put down his chopsticks and quietly reached for the blades on his back. Johnny turned to look at Beelzebub beside him, his eyes revealing a scene of Hell burning with raging flames.
Facing Kane's questioning, Beelzebub took out a clean white handkerchief to wipe the corner of his mouth. He gently extended a finger, whose joints were twice as long as a normal person's, and tapped the tabletop.
He softly complained to Kane, "You see, Mr. Kane, you're really not being a good friend!"
"Since we chose to pledge allegiance to Boss Tang, we naturally wouldn't have second thoughts. We collected these magic books simply because we heard Boss Tang was interested in primordial magic forbidden spells and wanted to prepare a meeting gift for him. Do you suspect that we're doing this to escape Boss Tang's control? How could we possibly think that? Look, how can you suspect us like this after the deep friendship we share?"
Kane's figure flickered, drifting like The Spectre behind Beelzebub. His cold finger lightly traced across Beelzebub's neck.
Beelzebub's body stiffened. With his strength, he hadn't even seen how Kane had gotten behind him.
Kane's hand brushing past his neck felt like the claws of a primordial demonic beast gripping his neck! He, a Hell Lord, one of the Seven Lords of Hell, actually felt a fatal threat from a mere human.
"Then it seems I misunderstood you. My mistake. From now on, we are colleagues. I'll toast you both!"
Kane extended his hand. Frank, at the right moment, picked up a wine jar sealed with mud, poured out three cups of wine, and handed one to Kane.
The other two cups were placed in front of Beelzebub and the Old Demon Dragon respectively.
"Have a taste. This is seventy-year-aged Maotai fine wine! It was a gift from a **** when I went for negotiations!" Kane raised the wine glass in his hand, drained the wine in one gulp, and holding the empty glass, looked at the Old Demon Dragon and Beelzebub.
The Old Demon Dragon, who was sitting at the round table, stuffed the last bit of lamb bone in his hand into his mouth, chewed it thoroughly, swallowed the bone and bone marrow whole, and slowly stood up.
