Starchild Escapes Arranged Marriage

Chapter 1147

On the seventh day of the Underground Cemetery's birth, the Leviathan Empire's central water vein battlefield.

"Fire!"

"Coordinates locked!"

"Give them a strong beating!"

Accompanied by hysterical roars, screams, the empire's latest mechanical heavy artillery emitted the distinctive roar of a steel beast. Streaks of fire darted through the sky, launching a new round of blanket bombing towards the central water vein several kilometers away.

The empire artillerymen responsible for operating the heavy artillery, even with earplugs, their eardrums were on the verge of being shattered by the tremendous firing sound of the artillery. Many people had bloodshot ears, and some could no longer hear any sound.

One after another, small mushroom clouds bloomed around the empire's central water vein, turning the originally calm and peaceful river into a flurry of flying water droplets.

"Blow those bastards to pieces!"

"Damn it!"

"Let them taste the firepower of our empire!"

For three consecutive days and nights of constant bombing, many people have not been able to sleep, all for the glory of the empire and their own beliefs.

The barrels of the latest type 250 cannons of the empire have been rendered useless by hundreds in the past few days.

Over ten new artillery camps are scattered within a ten-kilometer radius of the central water vein in the war zone. They relentlessly bombard the central water vein, known as the empire's mother river, day and night, at any cost, in order to suppress the activities of those terrifying unmanned weapons.

Everyone knows that if those hundreds or even thousands of unmanned weapons were to burst out from the central water vein, the empire would be completely doomed.

Throughout the seven days of the war, everyone has felt a chill down their spine from those eerie unmanned weapons.

It is an unmanned weapon with a lower body resembling an icy blue snake and an upper body consisting of a triangular torso and a pair of diamond-shaped mechanical arms.

The icy blue snake body allows it to freely move in water and on land, while the diamond-shaped arms can either pierce through enemies in close combat or shoot out water projectiles.

Don't be deceived by these seemingly harmless transparent water projectiles, as they have turned countless empire soldiers into sieves.

Unlike the black iron giant, which is specifically designed to battle dragons, War Dancer's Emerald Sea Dragon Beast has the ability to create its own army.

These weapons, called "sea serpents," were the ones that disrupted the entire supply line of the Leviathan faction, causing a severe shortage of support for the Leviathan Empire.

No living creature with intelligence would enjoy fighting against these lifeless weapons known as "sea serpents."

Losing meant facing certain death.

Winning would only result in some unusable metal scraps with no real benefits.

Fighting against the "sea serpents" offered no glory or fervor, only the coldest of life and death struggles.

This was a reflection of the battle between the dragon race and The King of Undead's Undead Army. The Leviathan faction, overwhelmed by countless undead through sheer numbers, suffered deaths that were impossible to count.

As mass-produced unmanned weapons, even if the sea serpents were blasted into pieces by the heavy artillery of the Leviathan Empire, as long as the metal fragments that formed their bodies were recovered, they could be reassembled and back on the battlefield in just a few hours.

They have no concept of intelligence and faithfully adhere to the war rules set by their core. They are undead soldiers controlled by the War Dancer.

Even if the empire had blasted these sea serpents into pieces dozens of times with heavy artillery, as long as the core metal fragments were recovered and recharged with water elemental energy absorbed from the water veins, the new sea serpents could immediately return to battle.

Can't be killed, and even if killed, there's nothing to take as war loot. This is the greatest helplessness of humans facing the Undead Army.

Besides defeating the ruler of the Undead Army, the highest commander of the Underground Cemetery, who is in charge of commanding the undead troops, it's just wishful thinking to try and win against the Undead Army.

In this war, it is necessary to win against the Guardian of the second level of the Underground Cemetery, the War Dancer who dominates the Emerald Sea Dragon Beast, and never leaves the central water vein, thus maintaining an absolute home advantage.

Unlike the black iron giant who only knows and needs to charge towards the strongest and most prominent enemy, the War Dancer never rushes in easily. Instead, she excels in gradually wearing down the opponent in a battle of endurance.

Using her own advantageous strengths to reduce the enemy's fighting power, constantly making them bleed, this flexible and adaptive tactic is the War Dancer's specialty.

She is very patient. Despite the imposing presence of Leviathan Empire's new mechanized heavy artillery, as if it could pin down the Emerald Sea Dragon Beast and keep its head down in the central water vein, the balance of the battle has already started to shift completely.

The shells fired by those mechanized heavy artillery are not falling from the sky. Every shell and every scrapped barrel represents the empire's valuable strategic resources.

On the other hand, the shattered sea serpents only need to have their metal fragments collected in the central water vein for a short time, and they will immediately return to the battlefield, lively and energetic once again.

When it comes to resource utilization, the Emerald Sea Dragon Beast of the War Dancer leaves the Leviathan Empire far behind.

This was happening during a time when magic was not as strong as before. If it was during the divine era, when magic was plentiful, the Emerald Sea Dragon Beast could revive and transform into a sea serpent in just ten minutes, and at the same time release more than ten times the number of sea serpents as it can now.

One characteristic of the Emerald Sea Dragon Beast is that it can fight alone. If it were to battle the sea serpent legion during its prime, the empire would be wiped out in just one day.

It was because of the decline in magical power during this time that the War Dancer had no choice but to be more restrained. They used this strategy of attrition to weaken the Leviathan Empire's army and waited for an opportunity when their ammunition would run out.

The so-called scientific weapons of war have their limits. The empire's ten new mechanical artillery legions may seem capable of causing massive destruction, but if they were to battle other countries, they would have already destroyed all resistance.

However, against the ancient weapon, the Emerald Sea Dragon Beast, the level of threat posed by these weapons is insignificant.

The ancient war weapons created by the King of Undead are perfect weapons surpassing the empire's titled machines. They are essentially creations supported by alien technology.

In terms of resource usage, energy control, internal structure, and the existence of a soul core, they surpass not just one era of Sia's world.

On the eighth day, it started to rain, signaling the beginning of intermittent firing after several days of continuous artillery attacks.

"It's raining..."

"Are we starting to save ammunition now?"

In the depths of the water in the central crystal fortress of the central water vein, the Emerald Sea Dragon Beast lifted its massive head and revealed a sneer.

So, the counterattack is about to begin.
