Netherworld Retrograde

Capítulo 824: Chapter 384: Rallying Old Forces at the Spring Platform, One Hundred Thousand Banners Strike Down Yama!

They prepared to board the Netherworld Train to another battlefield, and in the meantime, they could recover their spiritual energy on the train.

At this time, Captain Huo found Li Yelai: “Night General, was it you who awakened that Immortal back then?”

Li Yelai, about to board the train, nodded slightly.

He did not hide this fact, and informed Captain Huo about the effects and costs of the Nether River Horn.

“And you can use a Secret Treasure to replace the cost of the Taboo Item?”

“Correct, but the awakening limit of the horn is unknown. Moreover, on the battlefield, it’s easy to revive enemies. We must have the Toy control the airflow…” Li Yelai said.

After a moment of contemplation, Captain Huo instructed the Ye Boshou behind him: “Use the Ice and Snow Witch’s ability among the Taboo Items to preserve the bodies of our Spiritual Ability Users, especially those with intact brains. Freeze them and take them on the train.”

“You want to…” Li Yelai’s expression changed, understanding clearly Captain Huo’s intention.

“What the hell are you trying to do?” The official captain beside them grabbed Captain Huo’s collar: “They’re already dead! Do you want them to have no peace even in death?”

This captain hailed from the Second Border City and had suffered heavy losses in his Night Generals, including his own friends.

“I know, I know, dammit!” Captain Huo growled: “But we have no choice! Do we have any options left? Before, we were able to eliminate the Scale Remains Civilization only because the Immortal revived and future human champions sacrificed themselves in surprise attacks.”

“It was the separate reinforcements from future and past human forces that allowed us to win that war.”

“Now the Immortal has passed away, the future is unknown! To win the war, we must abandon everything, including our humanity!”

“Are we to hope that another future human powerhouse from another timeline will kill the Time Worm too?”

“Or do we find another well-preserved Immortal corpse in the Immortal Palace to wake it up?”

“No, we won’t have such luck.”

Captain Huo took a deep breath and continued: “From the records left by the Scale Remains Civilization, we’ve learned part of the intelligence about the future.”

“Future humans are indeed glorious, with various heroes emerging continuously. Even among the strong present here, several Supremes and Kings have emerged.”

Captain Huo’s gaze swept over Li Yelai and the Toy, continuing: “That should have been the golden age of humanity, but they were still driven to despair by the awakening of the Forbidden Zone.”

“Not long after the opening of the Immortal Palace, the Forbidden Zones began awakening consecutively. Among the first batch to awaken was Black Origin City!”

“Not only must we win, but we must achieve a complete victory to gain more future intelligence and absorb the technologies from two future civilizations. Otherwise, we will still lose.”

“I know, this is desecrating the corpses of the heroic spirits. I am willing to bear any cost. If they think I’m wrong after waking, they can kill me at any time.” Captain Huo looked at Li Yelai: “After my death, Night General, you must awaken me too, and let me fight once more!”

Captain Huo’s words rendered the other captains silent.

A few seconds later, one captain spoke in a deep voice: “Count me in too. If there is hate, let them hate me.”

“Night General, you became the Dawn Monarch in their history, though there were historical inaccuracies, your talent is undeniable. Try to survive as much as possible. And bring me back.”

“Indeed, actually, I prefer that Night General Captain, Toy Captain, and the Little Mad King all withdraw from the Immortal Palace, preserving their strength.”

“In their historical line, there is no so-called time invasion. Perhaps there will be some changes. Don’t mind it.” Li Yelai shook his head; naturally, he wouldn’t leave. At this stage, no one can stay out of it.

Then, everyone boarded the Netherworld Train, which immediately set off for the battlefield.

On the train, while everyone was hastily recovering their spiritual energy, they were also discussing tactics for the future.

The Wilderness Ranger also participated among them.

This time, the officials brought many Taboo Items, which might be able to reverse the adverse situation.

Officials even considered using the Mobius Ring Map and Li Yelai’s calamity to replicate the ‘Corner Tactics’ again, beheading the enemy’s strongmen.

But the enemy’s strength might not be weaker than the Scale Remains.

Moreover, the beheading tactics could at most take down an Overlord, but against a Supreme, there was no hope of victory. A Supreme could easily kill a Sixth Sense team, even a group of them.

This made the human champions somewhat anxious.

Currently, the Heavenly Tribulation remains intact and neither side’s top forces have entered the field, seeming as if both parties are in the same predicament.

But that’s not the case; once the Heavenly Tribulation is disabled or broken, releasing both sides’ high-end combat power, humanity will inevitably lose!

The other side might also have emperor-level powerhouses, as well as numerous Kings and Supremes.

Whereas humanity’s highest combat power is only Kings and Supremes; in quantity, they fall short, and in intensity, there is also a gap.

We can’t possibly rely on the Amber King to reverse-kill above his rank, can we?

So before the Heavenly Tribulation becomes ineffective, it is humanity’s only hope of victory. As soon as the enemy’s strongest emerge, humanity will be doomed!

Of course, Li Yelai at that time will make a transaction. With Mr. Shadow’s combat power, he should be able to eliminate this calamity. But he must face that ultimate power directly.

Perhaps… perhaps Li Ye needs to escape into the Time Rift… I don’t even know if Mr. Shadow handles after-sales services.

After completing the transaction, will he throw Li Ye back? If not, Li Ye might have to struggle in the long river of time.

At this moment, Ranger Yun Yue approached the corner, a subtle voice drilled into Li Ye’s ears: “Can you still summon them?”

Li Ye was taken aback, then slightly shook his head. In the same low voice, he replied: “No, it requires an altar and a blood sacrifice. They probably don’t have time to prepare again.”

He knew that Yun Yue was asking if he could still summon the Chaos Demon Army. Even as a Divine Chosen, Li Ye, with only the Fifth Sense, couldn’t perform the ritual without an altar.

Subsequently, Li Ye asked back: “And you? As the Green Flame Chosen One, can you summon the Demon Army?”

“Our master is too far from this world; His power has yet to truly affect the physical world.” Yun Yue also slightly shook his head: “Otherwise, they wouldn’t dare to act recklessly.”

The two Divine Chosen ones, at this moment, were unable to summon the Demon Army.

Then, Yun Yue said to everyone: “But I still have a trump card, but I need to get close to the rift.”

“Please, everyone, create an opportunity for me!”

“Is it your Ranger’s Green Flame Arrows? Capable of killing a King or even a stronger Emperor?” The official captain’s eyes lit up. That is the blessing arrow of the Master of Green Flames; perhaps it can truly turn the tables.

“No, it’s not possible. How can a blessed item be so strong?” Yun Yue said: “But the true power of the Green Flame Arrow lies in its ability to attack along the causal line!”

“Are you saying this is a Causality Level weapon?” A captain’s face changed color.

“Exactly, as long as I can aim at the Time Worm… the Green Flame Arrow will surely pierce through the long river of time and shoot it down!”

….

On the other side, on the battlefield.

The battle between the Human Army and the Yunling Civilization was becoming increasingly fierce.

Even a Six Senses Captain found it hard to ensure safety in the battlefield.

In such an intense war, individual valor could not reverse the situation.

Almost every minute and second, both sides were suffering massive casualties.

In a frontline position, the Legion Political Commissioner, Zhao Ling.

Struggled to rise from the ruins.

He looked around in a daze, only to see the corpses of his comrades.

His last memory lingered on an explosion.

Almost endlessly, enemies charged in, nearly breaking through their defense line.

To cover the artillery regiment in the rear, he and his comrades held fast at the breach.

But eventually, they couldn’t hold, and the responses around him grew fewer.

Facing the approaching enemy, with almost depleted ammunition, the Iron Guards raised their Chain-Saw Swords, and the Human soldiers raised their Military Shovels, directly launching a countercharge.

In the end, a Border Iron Guard detonated a Hot Melt Bomb…

As a Spiritual Ability User, Zhao Ling survived.

“Sixteenth Regiment… prepare to charge!” Zhao Ling opened his mouth with difficulty but received no response.

And watching the enemy army surge again, he raised the Chain-Saw Sword that had stopped spinning.

Letting out his final roar, he charged towards the enemy, it was a solo charge!

He didn’t know if it was an illusion, but during the charge, Zhao Ling faintly heard the vast sound of horns, accompanied by a high-pitched charge call!

Suddenly, he saw pairs of permanently closed eyes suddenly open, familiar figures rising from the dust, once more raising their weapons against the enemy.

He didn’t know what happened, was it a hallucination? Or… a miracle?

He spoke again: “Sixteenth Regiment, charge!”

This time, his comrades replied in unison.

“For Humanity!”

“For the Giant City!”

“Charge!”

Here we go to the Spring Platform to recruit old troops, with ten thousand banners to slay Yama!
