Chapter 582 The Dawn of the Douluo Plane, A Startling Awakening!
"How could this happen?!"
The Black Emperor was incredulous, his dark eyes filled with utter bewilderment.
The abyssal species army she dispatched this time numbered a full 800,000, while the Federation army defending the Douluo plane only numbered 70,000.
With 800,000 to 70,000, shouldn't she have the advantage?
"Could there be a problem within the Abyss army?"
The Black Emperor felt a chill run down his spine, but then, as if remembering something, he dismissed the idea.
Because long before the war between the Douluo Plane and the Abyss Plane began, the Abyss Saint King had dispatched an Abyss Law Enforcement Team led by the Wise Emperor to thoroughly eliminate all interfering factors before the war.
The majority of the Abyss Legion he is leading now were handpicked by the Wise Emperor, so there is absolutely no possibility of any accidents.
"Could it be that there's a problem with my command?"
The next moment, the Black Emperor actually began to doubt his own command and combat abilities.
In the past, when the Abyss Plane devoured other planes, she was always the commander-in-chief on the front lines.
"Black Emperor, are you underestimating me?"
At this moment, Qian Gu Die Ting, wielding a massive dragon-shaped staff, pressed down once more, his powerful eyes filled with murderous intent.
Upon hearing this, the Black Emperor suppressed the thoughts that were rising in his mind.
For her, even if the Abyss army's attack failed this time, it wouldn't be a big deal.
After all, once the Abyss army dies, it will turn into air currents and automatically return to the Abyss plane to be rebuilt, so there is no need to worry about the number of soldiers.
Moreover, her current frantic attack on the Douluo plane is not aimed at breaking the seal of the Abyss Passage...
The Black Emperor's eyes flickered slightly as he slowly raised his palm, looking at the phantom that was covered with hideous cracks, as if it was about to fall apart.
Then the Black Emperor stopped retreating and looked calmly at the Eternal Court.
"Humans, you have only stopped one of our ordinary attacks. We will come back again."
But look at the battlefield. The soldiers of your Federation who sacrificed their lives can never wake up again. The battle between the Abyss and the Dimension and the Douluo Dimension has already been decided. Your continued resistance is futile.
"Hmph!" Upon hearing this, Qian Gu Die Ting snorted coldly. "I don't yet know who will win or lose, but I do know that your clone will remain here permanently today!"
As he spoke, Qian Gu Die Ting suddenly raised the Panlong Staff in his hand, and an incomparably powerful will to fight against heaven and earth rose up instantly. Accompanied by the mournful sound of space, the Panlong Staff slammed down hard towards the Black Emperor.
"Humans, you think you can stop us, but we're not just launching attacks from this one place..."
The Black Emperor showed no fear on his face, but slowly looked down at the battlefield below, his meaningful voice gradually spreading throughout the entire battlefield.
"Boom!"
In the next instant, space shattered, and under the powerful Panlong Staff, the Black Emperor's phantom was instantly crushed into fragments, exploding into a sky full of pitch-black air currents.
As the Black Emperor perished, the abyssal creatures on the battlefield seemed to receive some kind of command, and immediately roared as they retreated into the abyssal passage.
The already dead abyssal creatures also transformed into streams of air, sweeping into the abyssal passage.
"The abyssal creatures have retreated!"
"We held on! We held on!"
Upon witnessing this scene, the Federation soldiers on the battlefield instantly relaxed their tense nerves, and a few smiles appeared on their grim faces.
"Commander Wang, it seems the situation on the Abyss front is not optimistic."
Qian Gu Die Ting put away the Panlong Staff and slowly landed beside Wang Jie.
"Since the large-scale attack on the Abyss Plane began a year ago, there have been countless wars like this, large and small."
Wang Jie's face showed no joy of victory; he sighed softly.
"Moreover, the Black Emperor is right. Abyssal creatures can be recycled and remade, but when our Federation's soldiers die, they are truly dead..."
But in the next instant, Wang Jie composed himself and solemnly extended his hand to Qian Gu Die Ting: "Senior Qian Gu, thank you for your help."
During his time on the front lines of the Abyss Passage, he received excellent training and has become a mature commander.
"I will do what I promised." Qian Gu Die Ting nodded slightly and said, "I hope Commander Wang will cooperate well here next."
"Rest assured, Senior Qian Gu, I will never let a single person die in vain on the battlefield," Wang Jie said solemnly.
He knew very well that since all the major forces in the Douluo Continent had sent reinforcements here, it meant they trusted the Federation, so he naturally had to handle everything properly.
Just as Qian Gu Die Ting and Wang Jie were discussing matters, a general stepped forward excitedly to report:
"Commander, the casualty figures have been tallied!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Jie's heart tightened instantly.
This time, the Abyss dimension has come with overwhelming force, and even more powerful Abyss species have appeared within the Abyss army. Their casualties must be very heavy...
"Speak," Wang Jie said slowly, as if he had mentally prepared himself.
"Commander, our entire army of 70,000 participated in this battle, suffering 900 deaths, 1,324 seriously wounded, and 6,700 lightly wounded..."
"Huh? What?"
Upon hearing the casualty report, Wang Jie was instantly startled, even losing control of his solemn facial expression.
This was not because the death toll was too high, but rather because the death toll was far lower than he had expected.
It's important to understand that this Abyss invasion was more intense than any previous one, but the death toll was far lower than in previous large-scale wars.
"There's no joking in the military. Are you sure you didn't lie?"
Wang Jie gripped the general's shoulders with both hands, staring intently at him, and spoke slowly and deliberately.
"Commander, that's the truth!" the general said, his voice trembling with excitement.
"What is the definition of a minor injury?" Wang Jie continued to press.
He was afraid that the general might lie about the number of casualties.
"It's just a minor scratch... some are even just depleted soul power..." the general said cautiously.
"How... how could this be..." Wang Jie murmured to himself. Logically speaking, the casualty ratio this time should not be this low.
At this moment, Wang Jie seemed to suddenly realize something. He remembered that on the battlefield, when he killed a powerful member of the Black Emperor clan, the guardian bull beside him failed to protect him, which led to the Black Emperor being successfully killed by him.
He was surprised at the time, since the guardian beetle's specialty was protection, and it was practically impossible for an accident to happen.
But the unexpected happened...
He didn't realize anything at the time, but now that he thinks about it, it seems rather strange...
"Commander, it seems that we are truly blessed by the heavens this time," the general said excitedly.
Upon hearing this, Wang Jie couldn't help but mutter to himself.
"Will God protect us...?"
