Chapter 578: The Appearance of Vinsmoke Judge!
[Boom boom boom boom boom]
[Boom boom boom boom...]
Dense Rockets, propelled by their fiery tails, collided with the Blade Light Spiderweb that was sweeping across, like thick, long arrows burning with flame.
Instantly.
Brilliant Balls of Fire danced across the sky amidst deafening Explosion Sounds, like a grand Fireworks Display blooming above the Battlefield.
At the same time.
Vice Admirals and Rear Admirals from other directions also unleashed their Flying Slash Attacks. Although they were still a considerable Distance from being Great Swordsmen, they were all Elites among Sword Masters and possessed their own unique Sword Dao Profundities.
"One-Sword Style. Heavenly Heart Eight Consecutive Slashes!"
"My Style. God-Taking Flying Flower!"
"Two Sword Style. Cold Moon!"
"..."
At this moment, in order to intercept the maximum number of Attacks, they tacitly used large-scale Sword Techniques. Various Blade Light Sword Qi struck down Rocket Missiles in mid-air.
Just seven people, using the Blades and Swords in their hands, actually fought a high-intensity offensive and defensive Battle against this cluster of nearly a thousand Rockets!
This scene left the Imperial Army below dumbfounded.
"You've got to be kidding me..."
Nahas, standing on the Fortress City wall, was also filled with astonishment.
If he used his Imperial Arms Ability, he could indeed unleash Vacuum Blade Qi to intercept a few Rockets. If he risked injury and fought desperately, destroying a dozen or so should also be possible.
But a Saturation Rocket Bombardment of hundreds or thousands like this was absolutely unthinkable.
"Perhaps Admiral Bulat could do it?"
Nahas thought to himself with a hint of uncertainty. This was the first time he had doubted the person he admired.
At the same time.
From the Onigumo Division's Faction, Army Officers wearing Black Coats flew out one after another.
Some of them were also Sword Masters and could use Flying Slash Attack, but the Quantity and Power were definitely incomparable to those in the sky.
And even those who weren't Sword Masters could use Tempest Kick from the Six Powers.
They were responsible for intercepting the Rockets that the Vice Admirals and Rear Admirals missed. After all, the Quantity of nearly a thousand Rockets was indeed too much.
No matter how Supernatural Onigumo and the others were, it was impossible for them to destroy all of them, unless an Admiral Level Combat Power appeared.
But in that case, they wouldn't need to act, because one person would be enough.
Ten minutes later.
Heaven and Earth suddenly fell silent, with only the eternally present Cold Wind still blowing indifferently. All the Rockets had finally exploded. The seven people in the air were in varying states at this moment.
Onigumo's Expression was calm, and his Aura was one of Stability.
The other two Vice Admirals' Breathing was slightly rougher.
But the four Rear Admirals were covered in sweat, panting heavily, looking somewhat disheveled.
This was because it was their first time continuously using large-scale Flying Slash Attacks at such a high Frequency. This was a great test for both their Stamina and Arms.
If dozens more Rockets had come, some of the four would definitely have been injured, the severity depending entirely on their Armament Haki level.
"Withdraw!"
Seeing that no more Rockets were coming, Onigumo immediately gave the Order to return. After returning to the Ground, he said in a deep voice to the Officers who had gathered around.
"We have basically Understood the enemy's Background. The Attack just now also indicates that their Large Force has arrived at a closer Position."
"Therefore, I have made the Decision to launch a general Offensive today and personally take down that Fortress."
"Coincidentally, we also need a Residence to shelter from the wind."
But just as his voice fell, the Transponder Snail in his Coat pocket suddenly rang. Onigumo took it out in confusion, answered it, and then picked up the Handset and asked.
"What is it?"
"Vice Admiral Onigumo, this is the Command Center of the Otherworld Strategy Committee. An Experiment from the Academy of Science will be sent to your Division within an hour. Please have it Attack the enemy Fortress and ensure its successful recovery."
Onigumo frowned and looked at the Transponder Snail with displeasure.
"What do you take War for? A Child's game? What if the enemy's reinforcements arrive during this Time? Do you not Understand what a Fighter Jet is!"
Others might Fear the name of the Otherworld Strategy Committee, but for an Elite Vice Admiral from Army Headquarters like him, there was truly nothing to be wary of.
"Vice Admiral Onigumo, this is a Decision made by the Command Department after agreeing with the Academy of Science. Please execute it."
Lieutenant General Kong Ming on the other end said indifferently.
By the same logic, he didn't need to have any reservations about Onigumo; he just needed to handle official business.
"Hmph, Understood!"
Onigumo hung up the Transponder Snail communication with a look of annoyance, then looked at the Officers around him and said coldly, "You heard it too. Pass down the Order to suspend the Offensive and wait for an hour!"
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
Soon, the two Main Combat Battalions on the Battlefield fought and retreated, orderly withdrawing back into the Trenches.
The enemy's Beastman Squad and the remaining less than a hundred Imperial Fist Temple Disciples, after forcibly leaving about a hundred Army Soldiers to cover the rear, retreated with depressed feelings.
After all, no one expected their Vice Admiral to die so easily!
And after a fierce Battle, the Warriors of the Beastman Squad also noticed that with their Strength, they could at most easily suppress the Soldiers who weren't wearing Black Coats.
But once they encountered those wearing Black Coats, they were often suppressed throughout the fight, only managing to preserve their Life Force, a Situation of barely keeping their lives.
Because whether it was Speed, Strength, or various Martial Arts and Sword Techniques, almost every single person seemed to possess Strength comparable to their own Rear Admirals, or even Vice Admirals.
This was truly outrageous!
They were Synthetic Beast Warriors who had risked their Lives, successfully undergone Alchemy Modification, and possessed the Power of Danger Beasts!
"What's the Situation? Why did they suddenly stop?"
Nahas's Expression on the Fortress City wall was solemn, and he thought to himself, "Could it be that the previous wave of Rocket clusters actually caused a significant impact on the enemy's Higher-ups Combat Power?"
He hadn't seen much of the Situation in the air before, as the continuous Explosion Firelight and Gunsmoke severely obstructed his Line of Sight.
"If that's the case, perhaps now is the best Timing for a counterattack?"
Nahas pondered based on his reasoning.
He wondered if he should send out a Large Army of twenty or thirty thousand to launch a general Offensive, while leaving the remaining ten or twenty thousand to guard the Fortress and Defense Line.
However, the risk of doing so was that if any Accident occurred and the dispatched Large Army was annihilated, the Fortress would definitely not be defensible.
"Forget it. Since Admiral Bulat's Order is to hold the Fortress and wait for the Large Force to arrive, it's better not to take risks easily..."
Nahas gave a Shake Head, dismissing his previous Thought, and shouted Orders to the Messengers beside him.
"Hurry up and retrieve the Remains of our Warriors, treat the injured Warriors, dispatch Engineers to repair our Trenches and fortifications, and boil Hot Water for everyone to warm their Bodies!"
The Performance of Onigumo and the others earlier was simply too terrifying. Nahas didn't think he could defeat them, even though he was an Imperial Arms User.
If it was a fight against one or two of them, there would be nothing to Fear, but there were seven of them.
Not to mention, these seven did not include the Sword Master who killed Vice Admiral Izo with a single strike.
Just like that, both sides tacitly ceased fire together and silently waited for the passage of Time. They each had their own reasons and Targets to wait for...
More than forty minutes later, two black Military Trucks, escorted by a Main Combat Platoon, which consisted of fifty Army Soldiers riding Heavy Motorcycles, arrived behind the Onigumo Division's Front Line.
From the front Truck, four Researchers wearing thick Winter Clothes stepped out.
Among them, a burly man with long golden hair like a lion's mane, nearly three meters tall, walked over first, his cold Gaze meeting Onigumo's equally indifferent eyes.
"I am Vinsmoke Judge, currently a Senior Researcher at the Materials Research Institute. Next, please cooperate with our Experiment and Data collection..."
