Run Away, This Civilization Is Cheating!

Chapter 316: 288: Give Them a Little Shock

Chapter 316: Chapter 288: Give Them a Little Shock
 

And the ambassadors of the Cangling Civilization and the Elfie Civilization could understand the excitement of the person standing before them.

In their eyes, there was also a hint of envy.

However, since they could no longer vie for first place, there was no need to make a resolute decision. After exchanging courtesies, they each hurriedly left to relay the news back to their respective civilizations and start discussions.

Meanwhile, Human Civilization acted decisively.

Since the Star Moon Civilization had already signed the plan, the two civilizations’ armies directly began to converge.

To ensure that the majority of the enemies’ points would fall into the hands of Human Civilization, it was necessary to allow Human Civilization’s warriors to deal the final blow to the Monsters!

This meant that the troops of Human Civilization would need to cooperate closely with the Star Moon Army.

Even to the point of integration!

Normally, the integration of troops from different civilizations is no easy task. It is not simple for forces on the battlefield to trust each other, and minor frictions can very easily escalate into major conflicts.

However, the Star Moon Civilization had already decided to become an affiliated civilization of Human Civilization.

And they announced it to the entire army!

Thus, the primary and secondary roles were clear.

From a high-level perspective, even if command authority of their forces was handed over to Human Civilization, it was nothing unacceptable.

Moreover, Human Civilization had previous experience with integration.

——The current Human forces, in essence, were the sum of the forces from Human Civilization, the Great Yan Civilization, and the Sky Spirit Civilization!

It was just a matter of adding another, more numerous, Star Moon Civilization.

Additionally, the troops had a secondary task.

“The entire mid-to-upper levels of the Star Moon Civilization are very determined to become our affiliated civilization,” General Shen Hao gathered all the commanders at the military headquarters before him and slowly stated, “But a large part of the lower-level warriors lack a long-term vision and a clear understanding of benefits. Under such circumstances, chaos can easily arise. Hence, I require you to use this opportunity of integrated combat to start from the grassroots level and increase their sense of identification with us.”

This was not Shen Hao’s guess but something he had seen with his own eyes through the power of the “Dominator Star Domain.”

The lower-level warriors of the Star Moon Civilization indeed harbored great dissatisfaction with the idea of surrendering to Human Civilization, especially the handing over of their points.

Were it not for the threats posed by the Trials, coupled with the fact that the Star Moon leadership had not failed in authority in the past, a mutiny would likely have occurred already.

However, if not addressed, this could lead to significant problems in frontline operations.

Facing Shen Hao’s orders, after detailed discussions by the numerous commanders at the military headquarters, they were full of confidence.

They had the foundation for this confidence.

Because Human Civilization did indeed have the qualifications to be awe-inspiring!

Soon, the forces of the two civilizations officially began their cooperation.

The other civilizations also maintained close attention, especially the still indecisive Cangling Civilization and Elfie Civilization.

Out of caution, Human Civilization did not seek out high-difficulty areas at the beginning but started with some weaker areas.

Cui Yujie led his 5,000-person troop to the designated location.

His leadership skills were not as outstanding as his sister’s, but after all, he was a Chosen One with Talent for Cultivation that surpassed most people. After enduring the hardships of frontline combat, he too had become a commander, leading a large contingent of 5,000 warriors.

At this moment, he saw his “Alliance Army.”

It was a massive Star Moon Army of 30,000 troops.

“I am a General.” A female Star Moon person, with a Level 28, stood beside Cui Yujie, “You can call me Admiral Hao Jie.”

Admiral Hao Jie’s tone was noticeably dissatisfied, although she was trying her best to control it, her expression still gave it away.

After all, the Star Moon people’s appearance was very similar to that of humans, including their height. The biggest initial difference was in their eyes; their pupils and the whites of their eyes were dotted with light points that resembled stars.

This was somewhat similar to when Shen Hao demonstrated his power, with stars shining from his eyes, albeit far less vast.

This was also one of the reasons why the upper echelons of the Star Moon Civilization made such a decisive decision.

In their eyes, they might resemble the Emperor’s subjects even more than humans did.

However, this was just the thinking of the top leaders.

For someone like Hao Jie, who loved her civilization intensely and was willing to sacrifice everything for the Star Moon Civilization, suddenly having to pledge allegiance to another civilization and place herself as an affiliated civilization was somewhat hard to accept.

This emotion was intense, and no matter how hard she tried to control it, she couldn’t completely hide it.

But Cui Yujie had already been informed and was not surprised now.

He simply replied calmly, “According to the alliance treaty, we will primarily command the war operations.”

“Yes, I have indeed received such orders,” Hao Jie clenched her fists slightly tighter.

The resentment towards the top leaders grew a little more.

Such an order was akin to handing over the lives of all the frontline warriors directly to others!

Even if they were to be used as cannon fodder or deliberately sent to their deaths, there would be no way to object!

However, the next words from Cui Yujie caused Hao Jie and the Star Moon people behind her to be taken aback.

“The top leadership has its considerations, but the frontline has its own circumstances. To forcefully take over command without established trust is perilous,” Cui Yujie said calmly but firmly, “Therefore, in principle, I still allow you to control your own forces. However, a soldier’s duty is to carry out orders. I require you to report the most accurate situation, all action plans, including your psychological activities, in complete honesty, maintain communication, and there must be no concealment whatsoever!”

“`

“…” Hao Jie and the others certainly hadn’t expected the other party to speak like this.

However, this straightforward approach did also reveal a glimmer of promise.

While unsure whether it was merely a facade, at the very least, for the moment, it seemed different from the arrogance and disregard for the lives of Star Moon Soldiers they had expected.

“Now, let us first understand your actual strength,” Cui Yujie spoke again, “We can even start with a drill to deepen our understanding of each other.”

“Yes!” Hao Jie’s eyes brightened slightly.

She had actually harbored a similar thought.

They believed that in any civilization’s military, combat power was inevitably the main factor in earning respect.

After all, battle was the greatest way for warriors to demonstrate their value.

“Give these weak human troops a shock, and they should learn to respect us!” Hao Jie was full of confidence about this.

After all, she knew that Human Civilization had developed for just six or seven short years and had been merely a Mortal Civilization before that!

The entire might and future of the civilization rested solely on the shoulders of the Human Emperor!

The rest, including the military, were nothing but deadweight.

Otherwise, why would they have asked for their help to earn points?

However, what she didn’t know was that Cui Yujie shared the same thought.

“Give these narrow-minded warriors from the Affiliated Kingdoms a little shock!”

The outcome didn’t need to be stated.

Once the actual exercise began, everyone including Hao Jie and all the Star Moon participants, down to the soldiers, fell silent.

First of all, the level of Human Civilization wasn’t low at all!

This troop appeared to be just an ordinary brigade, yet the average level was above Level 17! Not inferior to theirs and perhaps even more elite.

But wasn’t Human Civilization only exposed to Transcendence for less than seven years?

If it were only that, it might not matter since levels were blatantly displayed, but among them, the 3,500 soldiers who walked the “Cultivation Path” utterly crushed the opposition!

Yes, at the same level, even without using external objects, it was a complete crush in one-on-one fights!

Even to the extent that one could deal with ten simultaneously!

“It’s because of the Mythical Skills,” Cui Yujie provided the answer, “Most of your soldiers practice only Purple Epic-level Cultivation Techniques, which, although not bad, still fall far short of ours. Even warriors who follow the Magic Road possess Golden Legendary Cultivation Methods, this difference leads not only to the disparity in the rate of strength improvement but also in combat power.”

Mythical… Skills?

Mythical Skills that all people can practice?

Hao Jie and the others were somewhat bewildered.

Their grasp of the concept of Mythical was fundamentally minimal.

But now, they felt it.

Although the Cultivation Path and their “Star Map” Path differed greatly, the huge gap was strikingly obvious!

Spell power, mystical depth, combat endurance, self-healing…

Nearly every critical area showed a vast difference!

One to ten was an understatement.

The warriors of Human Civilization were capable of fighting across several levels!

Their strength was unfathomably powerful!

Was this the power of Mythical level? Was this the foundation of Human Civilization?

Hao Jie and the others finally began to vaguely understand the decisions of the upper echelons.

However, this was just the beginning.

The following comparison of logistics revealed an even more astonishing gap!

Weapon attacks, War Armor defense, healing medications, cultivation resources…

The quality was astonishingly high, even terrifying!

Especially in terms of War Armor defense.

Hao Jie was also a Chosen One, but when she saw the “Level 20 Blue Elite Level Defense Battle Armor” used by ordinary soldiers, which was even stronger than her Level 18 Purple Epic War Armor, she was utterly dumbfounded.

Despite being two levels lower, her equipment was Purple Epic!

Since when could the quality of Purple Epic be matched by a mere two-level difference?

“It’s the Blessing,” Cui Yujie spoke again with the same calm tone, “The Great Emperor has blessed us, making the Human Army invincible. In simple terms, all defense methods receive a significant boost.”

Yes, naturally, this was the powerful effect that came with the Emperor’s Armor.

The lower the level and the quality of the defensive equipment, the more pronounced the boost.
