Bai Ze raised his hand, his loud voice reverberating across the field.
Immediately, the creatures on the battlefield began to roar and howl, pushing the atmosphere to its peak!
"For the God, to fight and die is an honor!"
"For the Father God! Crush those piles of scrap metal to dust!"
"Win glory for the planet, and victory for the Father God!"
[Ding! Faith value +4.]
This was no longer a simulated war it was the real thing, with only one chance to succeed.
During the previous two rounds of simulated wars, Bai Ze identified a critical issue:
He simply didn't have enough creatures under his command.
He needed to breach the enemy lines, destroy ten central nerve systems, and eventually face the final boss, the mechanical Godzilla. It was impossible to handle everything simultaneously.
Moreover, reinforcements from other cities during the process were inevitable, creating another layer of difficulty.
The only solution was to consolidate his forces and annihilate the enemy from one concentrated point!
"Heipajedon, lead the Meteorite Insect Clan westward toward the mechanical planet."
"Taotie and Gatanothor, take your squads and head east."
"As for Kunpeng, advance from the outer city along the planned route from the last simulation!"
"This time, create as much chaos as possible and then converge in the center of the mechanical planet!"
One divine decree after another descended. The creatures, though unsure of the reasons, had unwavering faith in their Father God's supreme wisdom.
Following Him meant they could not go wrong!
With a thunderous explosion, the massive army began its charge.
The three groups dispersed
the Roc Clan hid within the clouds,
the Sea Emperor's forces dove deep underwater,
and the Skywing Tigers acted as support.
This strategy left the students watching in the observation room puzzled.
"What is Bai Ze doing? Why is he splitting up his troops?"
"Logically, after learning the layout, shouldn't he just send his forces straight through the outer city, breach the Iron City, and destroy the central nerve system?"
"Isn't that the fastest route?"
"Could it be that Bai Ze already knows the test details in advance?!"
They voiced their doubts, even starting to suspect that Bai Ze might have had prior knowledge of the test contents.
However, their questions were soon answered as explosions echoed on the screen.
In a flash, the western and eastern cities, along with the outer city's iron walls, were all breached.
The mechanical creatures stationed in these cities were awakened and began resisting the invasion of Bai Ze's army.
In the west, relentless black flames burned like the fires of hell, consuming everything in their path.
The east was entirely devoured, with a massive vortex in the sky that seemed capable of swallowing the sun.
Meanwhile, the outer city was ravaged by the Roc Clan's feathered volleys denser and deadlier than missiles leaving only broken remains and scattered arrows.
"The outermost layer of the mechanical planet has the weakest defenses, making it the easiest to breach."
"But once these three areas are taken, reinforcements are inevitable, and the forces will be surrounded."
Bai Ze muttered to himself as he analyzed the situation.
His prediction was spot on. As the three outer cities were leveled, the ten central nerve systems within the mechanical planet began exchanging electromagnetic signals, murmuring among themselves.
"The outer, western, and eastern cities have been breached. The enemy is moving fast."
"No need to panic. We have the numbers to overwhelm them. Deploy mechanical ravens to locate their exact movements."
"Then, mobilize reinforcements from all cities, encircle them, and trap them like fish in a barrel!"
Waves of electromagnetic sounds buzzed between the nerve systems as flocks of mechanical ravens took flight.
Their crimson eyes scanned and recorded everything.
Witnessing this, Bai Ze was not alarmed; he was exhilarated.
He immediately sent orders to all three fronts:
"Heipajedon, Taotie, and Kunpeng listen to my command!"
"Lead your armies to engage in guerrilla tactics against the pursuing mechanical forces. Create chaos while gradually converging toward the center of the mechanical planet!"
"Gatanothor and the Sea Emperor Clan, provide support from underwater and avoid large-scale conflicts!"
With Bai Ze's decree, the four factions swiftly responded:
"As you command, Father God!"
"We will carry out your will immediately!"
The massive army that had breached the three cities did not advance toward the central nerve systems.
Instead, they adopted a circular marching route, slowly narrowing their movements toward the mechanical planet's central hub.
Simultaneously, reinforcements from within the mechanical planet began to mobilize.
Each faction deployed over 5,000 mechanical soldiers a dense and varied army with war fortresses as their vanguard, advancing relentlessly.
Bai Ze's forces, however, relied on hit-and-run tactics, bolstered by continuous resource replenishment.
His army seemed to grow stronger with each battle, showing no signs of fatigue.
Heipajedon's faction, in particular, moved at lightning speed, leaving the mechanical reinforcements far behind.
Bai Ze checked the status and noted that his home planet's spiritual energy had reached 1,000 times its normal level enough to sustain the high-intensity campaign!
Meanwhile, the students watching were left baffled once again, including Xia Yinyue.
She couldn't understand what Bai Ze was thinking.
At this point, after breaching the three outer cities, shouldn't he focus on destroying the central nervous systems?
Why was his army not advancing but instead retreating and engaging in guerrilla warfare?
Judging by the numbers, this strategy seemed unsustainable it would only wear them down.
"Bai Ze, what exactly are you planning..." Xia Yinyue murmured, confused.
As time passed, fewer than 100 students remained in the province-wide competition.
The camera had been fixed on Bai Ze and Tang Qingcheng from start to finish.
On Tang Qingcheng's side, the battle had also reached its climax.
The mechanical Godzilla was now half-destroyed, its once-impenetrable shell cracked, and mechanical debris scattered everywhere.
Above, the Order Dragon's gaze mirrored its Creator's proud and aloof.
The battlefield below was riddled with molten craters and massive fissures carved out by destructive beams all marks of the Order Dragon's might.
While it couldn't be called a one-sided fight, the mechanical Godzilla was undoubtedly being suppressed.
"It's almost over now. Surely no one else could've made it this far, right?" Tang Qingcheng spoke with a chilling indifference.
Her cold, emotionless eyes focused on the scene below as she issued another divine command.
In that instant, a pure white beam of light formed in the Order Dragon's mouth, ready to strike the mechanical Godzilla.
