Minutes later, after a brief stalemate, the Human Mecha Legion began to advance, completely clearing out all Mechanical Beasts on the front line and annihilating tens of thousands of their nests. The upper corner of the battle screen displayed comprehensive data.
【Resource Star Occupancy Rate:】
It increased by a few percentage points as the Human Mecha Legion continued to push forward.
As the battle persisted for several hours, the occupancy rate reached a critical level. In the next moment, Lu Ziye heard the roar of the Mechanical Beasts, and the ground began to tremble. The tide of Mechanical Beasts from various battle zones had begun!
"Prepare for battle!" With Lu Ziye's command, his Wan Mecha units lined up in formation, ready to engage in combat.
In the Blue Zone, all major passes, high grounds, and canyons were swarming with vast numbers of Mechanical Beasts. After breaking through the outer defenses, a significant number of Mechanical Beasts managed to breach the defensive perimeter and approached various Star Gates, attempting to cross through them to reinforce Resource Star.
Lu Ziye gazed at the seemingly endless wave of Mechanical Beasts ahead and swung his Red Storm Military Blade fiercely: "Kill!"
Gunfire erupted as Zhan Dao danced wildly; the defense of the Star Gate had commenced. The battle channel continued to relay battlefield information.
【Blue Zone Command Center: Detection indicates that this Beast Tide's intensity has increased; it is predicted that the kill rate for outer Mechanical Beasts will drop significantly. All Star Gate guardian legions must prepare for combat without fail.】
A decrease in kill rate meant that some Mechanical Beasts would reach near the Star Gates. This was not good news; while it seemed like just an increase in numbers, facing such a massive total of Mechanical Beasts made this ratio terrifying.
Watching more and more Mechanical Beasts surge onto the vast plain before him, Lu Ziye's allied forces defending Hao Xingmen were already struggling to cope.
The Deputy Commander had never anticipated encountering such a situation right at the start of battle—was it even more challenging than last time?
Lu Ziye glanced at the troops stationed at Hao Xingmen, who were roaring their determination to hold their ground. He needed to find a suitable position to alleviate some pressure on them.
"Everyone hold your ground! Deputy Commander, follow me!" Lu Ziye soared into the air, flying against the tide toward the expansive plain ahead.
In an instant, his Blood Cry Sabre whirled with deadly precision; each strike was lethal as the frenzied red energy tore through the Mechanical Beasts above.
What was even more impressive was that as Lu Ziye charged forward in flight, his Trin Kinetic Cannon unleashed a barrage of Energy Shells simultaneously.
From a distance, it appeared as if a single mech was soaring alongside a multitude of Energy Shells; wherever he flew, swathes of Mechanical Beasts fell before him.
A massive vacuum zone was carved out on the plain; there was not a single Mechanical Beast left standing in Lu Ziye's wake.
Following behind Lu Ziye, the Deputy Commander was in shock. He had suspected that this commander had some skills, but he never expected them to be so extensive.
"Commander Lu, where are we?" the Deputy Commander asked nervously. At that moment, his respect for the young commander grew even deeper.
"I don't know either; I'm not familiar with the terrain. Take me to a Mechanical Beast that can lead us to the Hao Xingmen's ambush point. I want to alleviate the pressure on Hao Xingmen at its source," Lu Ziye replied.
The Deputy Commander was completely stunned by Lu Ziye's words. Why did it seem like he understood what Lu Ziye was saying, yet felt utterly confused?
Was Commander Lu suggesting that one person should hold off these Mechanical Beasts at the source to significantly reduce the pressure on the entire Three Gate?
"Commander Lu, the closest location is the Aoken Mountain Range. All the stragglers trying to break through from the outside must pass through that mountain range to enter Hao Xingmen. It's a critical point, so there are Wan Mechanics stationed there."
The Mechanical Beasts had already broken through multiple lines of defense, and even with the Wan Mechanics holding them back, so many Mechanical Beasts were still able to approach Hao Xingmen. Lu Ziye found it hard to imagine just how vast the scale of these Mechanical Beasts was.
Without further thought, under the Deputy Commander's guidance, Lu Ziye sped towards Aoken Mountain Range at supersonic speed. With the enhancement from his Energy Core and Power Engine, his speed increased even further.
At Aoken Mountain Range, Commander Wang Feng of the Dragon Kingdom Mechanics was engaged in fierce combat. He was directing various legions in battle against the Mechanical Beasts below, but as more and more of them broke through his defenses towards Hao Xingmen, he grew anxious.
Some Mechanical Beasts had already passed through; if this continued, Star Gate would be doomed. "Kill them all!" he shouted.
Suddenly, a sound barrier broke in the sky as a figure descended rapidly, charging straight towards the escaping Mechanical Beasts. The Red Military Knife danced wildly while the Trin Kinetic Cannon fired in unison, obliterating a large group of Mechanical Beasts that had already fled from the mountains.
In an instant, Red Storm activated, unleashing waves of Energy Sword Qi that cleaved through even more Mechanical Beasts.
"Who are you?" Wang Feng demanded.
"I am Lu Ziye, commander of the Ninth Defense Legion of No. Star Gate," came the reply.
"Huh? Why are you here instead of guarding Star Gate?" Wang Feng recognized this name; Lu Ziye had become well-known after the battle at Setting Sun Canyon.
"If I hold this position, then no Mechanical Beasts will pass through," Lu Ziye answered plainly. However, Wang Feng couldn't shake off the feeling that it sounded like a jab at his own incompetence.
After Lu Ziye arrived at Aoken Mountain Range, only a handful of Mechanical Beasts managed to get through—essentially half of those that would have otherwise passed were stopped by him alone.
Wang Feng stared at this young man in contemplation: Is he really human?
Just when everyone thought they could breathe a sigh of relief, two blinding beams of light suddenly appeared within Hao Xingmen, directly aimed at Lu Ziye's position and enveloping him.
Lu Ziye looked towards Hao Xingmen as well; he had no idea what was happening over there due to the distance. However, soon a video feed came through from the combat channel sent by soldiers stationed at Hao Xingmen.
In the video, a towering beast, standing at a height of several meters, roared as its eyes fixated intensely on the Aoken Mountain Range, staring at the location of Lu Ziye with a gaze reminiscent of death.
Was this the attention of a powerful figure?
However, the Deputy Commander beside him was already in a state of panic. Trembling, he said, " Commander, you have attracted the Stellar Beast."
Lu Ziye responded, "What?"
