A Month and a Half of Slaughter

The Moyun Teng was massive and possessed extremely strong cellular vitality. Even if a section was blasted off by laser guns or railguns, it would still regrow. Thus, within this realm within a realm, the Universe-level Second-tier Moyun Teng was truly invincible.

...

Tens of thousands of kilometers away from that 16,300-strong team, a cosmic spaceship was parked on the grassland.

Inside the ship's control room.

A long vine entered through the hatch and extended all the way into the control room.

“Moyun,” Luo Feng affectionately stroked the Moyun Teng.

“Successfully hunted 9 captains, acquiring 12 spatial storage items,” a voice echoed in the control room. Simultaneously, a rolled-up tendril on the long vine unfurled, dropping 6 spatial rings, 4 spatial bracelets, and 2 spatial waistbands onto the alloy floor of the control room, creating a metallic clatter.

“The core of that large team has precise detection instruments, so we could only hunt the captains of the 9 thousand-person squads dispersed around its periphery.”

“You worked hard,” Luo Feng smiled.

Lei Shen, even more eager, squatted down to rummage through the spatial storage items.

“I'll continue,” the long vine rapidly retracted from the cosmic spaceship and then moved towards another team.

“Let's see how many Leiting Shi there are,” Lei Shen said impatiently, his eyes gleaming.

“Let me see,” Luo Feng chuckled, squatting down and picking up a spatial ring. He couldn't help but beam with delight, saying, “There's even a huge pile of cosmic crystals.”

The three of them inspected and categorized the spoils.

Meanwhile, the Moyun Teng, guided by Babata, continued its hunt...

...

Luo Feng's hunting initially took place only in the peripheral areas. Therefore, it didn't cause much impact on the 2 million strong army in the realm within a realm, as many large forces were concentrating towards the core region.

Amidst the allied forces in the core region.

Inside the most lavish tent.

His Highness, the Ninth Prince Buluolin, was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed. Suddenly, a person entered from outside the tent—it was one of Buluolin's eight bodyguards.

“Your Highness,” the bodyguard respectfully knelt on one knee.

“Hmm?” Buluolin opened his eyes, looked at the bodyguard, and said coldly, “What is it?”

“Your Highness, the Fourth Brigade just suffered an ambush and was pursued during their escape. The Fourth Brigade originally had 30,000 people, but now fewer than 10,000 remain, and these surviving members scattered during their retreat,” the bodyguard's forehead was covered in sweat.

Buluolin's eyes flashed with a sharp glint as he stared intently at his bodyguard: “You said, the Fourth Brigade has fewer than 10,000 left?”

“Yes! It just happened,” the bodyguard replied respectfully.

Among Buluolin's eight bodyguards, seven were remotely connected to seven different brigades. Buluolin himself leisurely commanded from within the allied forces.

“Tell me all the details clearly!” Buluolin's voice was icy.

“The Fourth Brigade, as per Your Highness's orders, was stationed in the swamp area, also preparing to plunder other passing teams. But tonight, just now! Three powerful teams attacked the Fourth Brigade from three directions. These three teams also possessed laser guns, and they had a significant numerical advantage. Coupled with the Fourth Brigade being caught off guard... they were instantly thrown into disarray and slaughtered.”

“One-third of the Fourth Brigade died on the spot, and then they scattered and fled.”

“During their escape, other teams in the realm within a realm discovered them and took advantage of their misfortune, pursuing our people. This resulted in fewer than 10,000 survivors in the Fourth Brigade,” the bodyguard continued. “Now, the scattered remnants of the Fourth Brigade are rapidly heading towards the core region.”

Buluolin remained silent for a long time.

“How many people were in the three teams that attacked the Fourth Brigade?” Buluolin asked.

“At least 60,000!” the bodyguard replied.

“You may leave,” Buluolin waved his hand.

The bodyguard quickly retreated.

Only Buluolin remained in the grand tent. He narrowed his eyes in thought, muttering, “60,000 people? The Leiting Shi in the realm within a realm are almost all dug up. This great war has started immediately! Faster than I expected! And, a combined force of 60,000 suddenly appeared... it seems the other factions aren't foolish either.”

If Buluolin controlled over 220,000 people and the other factions remained disorganized, it would be too easy for Buluolin. It must be known that behind each brigade were Sector Lords! It was perfectly normal for these great Sector Lords, some of whom were friends or belonged to the same organization, to order their subordinate teams to unite at such a critical moment.

“Has the war begun?” Buluolin licked his lips, a hint of madness in his eyes. “Then let it come!”

...

Virtual Universe, Black Dragon Mountain Island.

In the courtyard of a secluded two-story building, the ape-man Chaketu sat in a chair. Two screens floated before him, each displaying a person.

“Lord Chaketu, this was truly exhilarating! Buluolin's brigade was almost wiped out by us in one go.”

“I'm sure Buluolin is fuming with rage.”

The two on the screens spoke.

The ape-man Chaketu laughed heartily: “Gentlemen, this is only our first attack! Buluolin commands far more forces than us, and after suffering a loss, he will definitely become more cautious. However, he's been too ostentatious, and now everyone sees him as an opponent, so his days won't be easy!”

“Right, he's a prince, yet he comes to contend with us! This time, we must teach him a harsh lesson and let him know... we are not to be trifled with.”

“Both of you be careful, Buluolin won't let this go.”

...

The war began just like that, suddenly!

During the earlier Leiting Shi excavation, some super-large teams (ten thousand or more people) had exercised restraint, avoiding direct confrontation.

However, ever since three teams jointly attacked Buluolin's Fourth Brigade, the entire realm within a realm instantly became bloody. Brigades fought either alone or in alliances of several brigades! Some even formed combined armies of over a hundred thousand people, and large-scale battles erupted throughout the realm within a realm.

“Force-based long-range attack!”

Boom! Boom! Boom! ~~~

Streaks of dazzling, multi-colored force-energy, over ten thousand of them, shot through the air from one army's formation towards the other.

Star-level Ninth-tier force-energy, attacking from a distance!

If ten thousand streams of force-energy converged, their power would be no less than that of C2 or C3 laser cannons.

“Second Squad.”

Puff! Puff! Puff! ...

Mental-force weapons gathered together, like a school of fish, seemingly commanded by a single individual. A thousand mental-force weapons collectively attacked a single point, then collectively arced to attack another point.

...

Elite soldiers!

These Star-level Ninth-tier individuals were elite soldiers dispatched by the Black Dragon Mountain Starfield's largest powers—the two Holy Lands and four major organizations. They were all highly skilled in 'combined attacks'.

For a time, across the vast, million-kilometer expanse of the realm within a realm, battles raged everywhere, and blood stained the land.

...

In the swamp.

A cosmic spaceship was parked in the swamp, and inside its control room, Luo Feng and the other three were inspecting the spatial storage items.

“Haha, the haul has suddenly increased!” Lei Shen laughed loudly.

“Before, when excavating Leiting Shi, all brigades kept their detection instruments active! But now that the excavation is over, and factions are fighting, such instruments are useless in army-on-army combat,” Luo Feng chuckled. “With their instruments turned off, Moyun Teng can now target the 'brigade commanders'.”

90% of a brigade's treasures were held by its commander.

Therefore, although Luo Feng and his team had killed many thousand-person squad captains before, their gains truly couldn't compare to killing a single brigade commander.

“How many Leiting Shi do we have?” Hong asked.

“Nearly 610,000 Leiting Shi, and from that brigade commander's spatial ring, we obtained three treasures he had exchanged for. These three treasures are worth nearly 800,000 Leiting Shi,” Luo Feng smiled. “Hunting brigade commanders is indeed more profitable.”

...

Within the realm within a realm, 2 million troops were slaughtering each other.

All sorts of schemes and conspiracies were underway. Because communication was possible through the 'Virtual Universe Network', various teams could secretly form alliances.

Chaos reigned!

And the Sector Lords behind these teams, of course, wouldn't give up on seizing treasures! Even if it meant sacrificing a ten-thousand-strong team, as long as a single treasure was obtained, it was considered a profit! With orders from the Sector Lords... this made the war incredibly bloody! Star-level Ninth-tier warriors and mental-force masters truly became cannon fodder.

...

During this process, Babata coordinated with Moyun Teng to carry out one ambush after another.

Initially, when the ambushes began, the various teams in the realm within a realm weren't yet alert, as there wasn't much connection between them. However, as the number of 'brigade commanders' killed by ambushes increased—and remember... how many brigades were there in the entire realm within a realm? Each brigade had at least ten thousand people.

When the sixth brigade commander was ambushed and killed...

Remote-controlling Sector Lords issued orders.

“There should be a Universe-level mental-force master in the realm within a realm whose mental-force weapon is skilled at burrowing! He burrows underground, ambushing and killing one brigade commander after another. All teams must be careful.” With the Sector Lords' warnings, all brigades naturally became extremely cautious, which immediately caused Luo Feng's 'hunting' efficiency to drop significantly.

...

War always comes to an end.

The war in the realm within a realm lasted for about a month and a half. From an initial force of nearly 2 million, it dwindled to only about 600,000 by the end! It should be noted... that 200,000 allied troops in the core region did not participate in the fighting. This means that out of the 1.8 million who actually fought, fewer than 400,000 remained alive.

Its brutality was evident!

...

In a dense forest, a cosmic spaceship was parked.

Inside the control room.

“It's over, the battle is over,” Luo Feng sighed, stroking the Moyun Teng beside him. The Moyun Teng proudly twisted its vine body, then with a 'poof', it merged into Luo Feng's skin, forming a combat suit.

“Although we only managed to kill six brigade commanders, and later all the brigades became cautious, the income was still pretty good,” Lei Shen said triumphantly.

Hong couldn't help but smile either.

Luo Feng unconsciously rubbed his fingers, his spatial ring merging into his skin.

A month and a half! The gains from this month and a half were indeed enormous.

“Nine treasures, 9.08 million Leiting Shi!” Luo Feng smiled, looking at Lei Shen and Hong. “Big Brother, Second Brother, it's time for us to return to the allied forces' station. We need to go there to exchange these Leiting Shi for treasures.”
