Chapter 1425: 1425
Not long after Jiang Fei’s army landed, red lights lit up and the sound of an alarm blared throughout the hangar bay . Everyone in the hangar bay was alerted of their presence, and perhaps the entire fortress now knew their position .
Flashing to Jiang Fei’s side, Kaa’Ina reported, “Sir, we have mechanical soldiers incoming . They are not too strong and Bison is facing them now . We should clear the first obstacle quickly . ”
Jiang Fei nodded . He had confidence in Bison’s strength . He was a Decronian and a f*cking strong one at that . Besides Jiang Fei himself, perhaps no one in his army could stop him .
With Bison’s leading, they fought their way out of the hangar bay without much trouble .
A soldier reported, “Sir, we have detected incoming enemy aerial forces . They will soon enter firing range . ”
“Ignore them, continue the advancement . ”
The Violet Fleet sent by General Lockseed was in charge of providing aerial support . They would be handling the enemy birds in the air .
Just as Jiang Fei’s keen ears picked up the sounds of ship engines roaring through the sky and cannons charging up to shoot, a powerful beam tore through their propellers and destroyed several enemy ships that were about to fire upon Jiang Fei’s soldiers .
The Violet Fleet had been keeping two eyes trained on Jiang Fei’s movements . Anything that was coming to attack them would be destroyed first .
“Sir, Bison sends us a message . They have found an enemy barrack and are facing powerful resistance there . The advancement will not proceed until the resistance is taken out,” said a soldier .
“Kaa’lna, go to Bison and help him out,” ordered Jiang Fei .
“With pleasure,” replied Kaa’lna as she flashed away .
With two powerful fighters to take the lead, the enemy resistance force was quickly wiped out . It took several minutes but they managed to push through the barracks .
Just when they thought the worst was over, things had only just dialed up to a ten . Jiang Fei’s army started having to deal with heavy casualties and even the deaths of their own . Even though the numbers were currently less than ten, Jiang Fei expected it to only grow higher .
The further Jiang Fei’s army advanced into the fortress, the more resistance they were met with, and the harder it was to fight through said resistance . There were more than the expected number of mechanical fighters in the fortress . So many, that killing them made literally no difference in their overall number .
“It’s about time now… the real enemy is going to show up,” said Jiang Fei .
After being in the rear for so long, Jiang Fei still remained passive, letting his soldiers deal with the initial threats . He had been in the Valsalrian Army long enough to know how well they fought .
It goes without saying that the Valsalrian Army had a higher number of powerful fighters than the Trade Federation . Even so, fighters would not appear in battle as they would first deploy mechanical troops to wear down the enemy . When the weaklings were dealt with and only the strong remained, that is when actual Valsalrian fighters appeared to reap the last remaining few .
As the battle continued, Jiang Fei’s forces divided into several groups to cover other parts of the fortress . They had destroyed too many mechanical soldiers to count and captured many officers, but had not encountered a single combatant . It was as if the entire fortress was void of them .
“Sir, something is not right . We have scoured the entire fortress for two days and have not found a single combatant . Could this be a trap?” asked Bison .
“You might be right . Tell everyone to be on high alert,” ordered Jiang Fei .
This battle has been too easy . Even though Jiang Fei’s army did lose a few soldiers and some were gravely injured, they had still managed to destroy all the mechanical soldiers .
Just as Jiang Fei was beginning to suspect foul play, a deafening explosion was heard, reverberating throughout the fortress .
“What is that? Is that us?” asked Jiang Fei .
“We don’t know . The explosion came from outside the fortress . If I’m not mistaken, that is where Kaa’lna took charge . ”
Jiang Fei ordered Bison to follow him, “No time to lose, come with me . ”
The closer he got to the source, the louder the sound . Something was making that noise . Jiang Fei recognized it as the kind of explosion that could only be generated from a barrage of energy collisions .
“It’s Kaa’lna . She is currently engaged with an enemy,” said Jiang Fei .
Jiang Fei narrowed his eyes . He could sense her energy signature well . But the opponent was unknown .
A few seconds later, Jiang Fei and Bison emerged to the outside of the fortress . The ground was barren and there were several barrack-like buildings in place . Nevertheless, the entire place was huge enough for the two to fight violently without affecting any of the surrounding buildings .
“Do you know who that is?” asked Jiang Fei, turning to Bison .
He was part of the Valsalrian Army, just as anyone else in his army .
“I don’t know, sir . All I know is that Ishtarians are strong,” said Bison .
Jiang Fei groaned . “Tsk… why is it always poison users?”
The Ishtarians were famed fighters, using poison was their bread and butter . Some powerful Ishtarians had even cultivated themselves by consuming poison to turn themselves poisonous . Anyone who knew of their existence would not want to engage with them .
Ishtarian
Combat Level: 8,000,000
Note: Powerful fighter . Every inch of its body is fully poisonous .
Jiang Fei groaned even louder after he had examined the opponent through the scope . The man Kaa’lna was fighting was not just a powerful fighter, but an insanely strong one . He must have gone through extensive cultivation to fully convert his body into poison . That is probably why Kaa’lna was slightly weaker than him, the reason why she was unable to defeat him .
Bison pleaded, “Sir, please allow me to assist her!”
“Hold your ground!” barked Jiang Fei .
He wanted Kaa’lna to fend for herself for a while as he continued to observe how Ishtarians fight . He saw this as a vital countermeasure that would come in handy if he ever engaged with a being that uses poison in the future .
There was a cloud of green mist being emitted by the Ishtarian himself . He could even discharge a large quantity of poisonous goo with just a swing of his arm . It looked disgusting, as it should be, since his pores were excreting sweat that was the source of the mist and goo .
His fighting stance, skills, maneuvers, and prowess were only average . His energy level was even lower than Kaa’lna’s . The only reason she was unable to defeat him was due to the poison itself . Once affected, Kaa’lna’s movements became slower .
The longer she dwelled within the poisonous mist, the slower her movements would be . Right now, her movements were still on par with the Ishtarian’s, but she would eventually lose the fight .
“Those poison users must be sadistic bastards . I’ve had enough of this . Bison, go and help her,” ordered Jiang Fei .
He was done analyzing the Ishtarian battle style and judged that it was time for him to die .
“Thank you, sir . ”
Joining the fight, Bison pushed Kaa’Ina away from the poison mist and threw out three punches in rapid succession .
The first punch completely blew away all the poisonous mist from around his enemy . The second punch created a powerful gust of wind, causing the goo he discharged to be blown back to his own body . The last punch was a fully powered one . Bison intended to retaliate for Kaa’lna’s sake as well as show Jiang Fei how strong he had become .
Despite being slowed down by his own poison, the Ishtarian managed to get into a defensive stance . Even so, he was unable to completely defend himself against Bison’s fully powered punch .
After consuming copious amounts of the Ultralisk meat provided by Jiang Fei, Bison’s combat level was only a hair’s length away from 10,000,000 . An Ishtarian with a combat level of 8,000,000 would not be able to stop Bison’s punch .
The Ishtarian was blown off his feet and crashed somewhere further away . He spat out a mouthful of greenish blood before he could stand straight . These kinds of poison users had a similar trait as Jiang Fei’s own combat style—the longer the battle dragged on, the better it was for them .
Their poison would not strengthen them, but instead weaken their enemies to the point where they would not be able to even lift a finger . But their one true enemy was someone too strong for them to handle, such as Jiang Fei . A single punch from someone like him, even a blocked one, would be enough to break them .
