The ocean apostle, whose scales were cracked and who was on the verge of death, was now焕发生机 again. It twisted its massive body and slowly stood up on its "human" legs. The gazes of its three heads were perfectly aligned, fixed on the Northern Territory army on the battlefield. A bizarre expression appeared on the female head's face.

It was like mockery, like teasing, and also like the scrutiny of a predator before attacking its prey.

The blood that had been constantly flowing from the gaps in its scales suddenly stopped, and its seemingly tattered body began to recover at an extremely fast pace. In just a few seconds, it had returned to its peak condition before the battle!

If the sudden appearance of the star apostle had been a heavy blow to Li Zhi, then the ocean apostle's "rising from its sickbed in shock" was like a knife stabbing directly into Li Zhi's heart.

Li Zhi felt a chill, a complete and utter chill.

This was the last straw that broke the camel's back!

"Chief, this is a trap… Quick, order the troops to retreat!"

A staff officer beside him said in a trembling voice, his face pale.

Anyone could see from the current situation that the "advantage" that had seemed to favor the human troops was deliberately staged by the ancient civilization!

One apostle was enough to slaughter a city, let alone two of these terrifying creatures?

The Northern Territory Army could never defeat them on the front lines!

"Retreat… Is there still a chance to retreat?" Li Zhi stared at the battlefield, his eyes empty, as if his entire soul had been sucked away the moment the star apostle appeared. He muttered to himself, "It's over, it's all over!"

Rumble!

On the sea, the giant ark, which had been as silent as a stone, began to vibrate and move towards the defense line.

"The ocean apostle wasn't severely injured!"

"There's another apostle, hidden within the beast tide all along!"

"We've been tricked!"

At this moment, the warriors of the Northern Territory Army also realized everything in a very short time. An extremely strong sense of panic quickly spread throughout the entire army.

No one could remain calm when facing two apostles simultaneously on the front lines, not even the Pioneers, let alone the Northern Territory Army, which consisted mostly of ordinary people!

"Stop advancing!"

"Command! Command, please immediately instruct the next course of action!"

"What should we do?"

The officers of the Northern Territory Army began to contact the command frantically, requesting instructions for the next course of action.

Because according to the current situation, the original plan to continue advancing and fighting the beast tide to eliminate the ocean apostle was simply impossible. With the giant ark and star apostle joining the battle, the already powerful beast tide was no longer something a human army could defeat.

In this situation, unless Li Tianran activated the Kunlun battleship and arrived in the sky above this place within fifteen seconds, there would be no chance to turn the tide!

"Command is not responding…"

After frantic inquiries, the officers who had led their teams away from the defense line did not receive a response from command. In their electronic communication devices, there was only the sound of flowing current, and no orders were issued from command.

An army of hundreds of thousands was now in a state of semi-control in this sudden situation.

Roar!

At this moment, a roar came from the center of the battlefield, the angry roar of the ocean apostle's three heads raised to the sky.

This roar was like a bugle call to launch a counterattack.

The originally scattered beast tide gathered again and launched a frantic counterattack against the Northern Territory Army, which was already close at hand.

The beast tide, covering the mountains and plains, surged over like a flood.

War chariots rumbled and tanks roared, but facing the countless beast tide, the ground vanguard of the Northern Territory Army was submerged almost instantly!

The ocean apostle's huge body roamed in the center of the battlefield, like a mobile nuclear bomb. Wherever it passed, terrifying destruction descended.

More than a dozen tanks aimed at the ocean apostle's head and bombarded it, and the exploding fire completely covered the upper half of its body.

But the next second, a ferocious giant tail swung over from another direction, easily smashing the tank group weighing hundreds of tons, like sweeping away fallen leaves in the autumn wind.

Countless steel fragments flew into the air like raindrops.

As for the soldiers in the tanks…

Their bones were already gone.

The star apostle looked up at the sky. Behind it, countless blazing fireballs lit up, like a dense star map.

0.1 seconds later, these countless fireballs soared into the sky, just like a dense anti-aircraft artillery group.

An armed helicopter was hit and disintegrated instantly, and the pilot of the helicopter fell down covered in smoke. Before he landed, he was jumped high by a giant beast and swallowed into its belly!

There were also a large number of secondary sequence followers who withstood the bombardment of tanks and war chariots, crossed the first line of defense of the steel torrent, and came to the semi-mechanized troops in the rear, launching a frenzied massacre.

The battle situation could not be described as tragic. It was almost a one-sided slaughter.

Under the leadership of the two apostles, the beast tide launched a frantic counterattack, and the rate of attrition of the Northern Territory Army could only be described as terrifying. Almost every second, more than a dozen tanks were destroyed and hundreds of people died!

"I fucking said this was a trap, we shouldn't have chased! We shouldn't have chased!" Cha Kaijin was furious. He looked around. The Evolver troops had been scattered by the surging beast tide. Apart from dozens of Pioneers who were still around him, the Evolver soldiers belonging to the Federation troops were completely nowhere to be seen.

It was conceivable what the end would be for a group of exhausted Evolver soldiers in such a terrifying beast tide…

Moreover, due to the previous "hatred" of the Evolver troops intercepting the beast tide, perhaps these Evolver warriors would suffer an even worse fate than ordinary soldiers.

As highly intelligent races, both the beast kings and the secondary sequence followers knew how to more effectively destroy the willpower in the hearts of warriors.

"Command! Command!" Cha Kaijin moved with difficulty in the beast tide, traveling with the Pioneers through the gaps in the wreckage of tanks and war chariots, trying to use the communication headset to contact Li Zhi.

But at this time, whether it was because there were too many mental-type Evolvers on the battlefield attacking with brainwaves, disrupting the magnetic field communication, or because there was a problem with the command itself, in short, command did not give him any response.

"That bastard!" Cha Kaijin cursed angrily. He had just turned around to observe the battlefield, looking for a way out for himself and the remaining Pioneers.

Suddenly, a blue wolf jumped out of the beast tide and pounced directly at Cha Kaijin.

Immediately afterwards, Cha Kaijin's world was plunged into darkness…

…

At this time, inside the giant city of the defense line.

Li Zhi walked towards the tarmac in large strides, his face pale, accompanied only by two personal bodyguards. Moreover, the epaulettes on his military uniform had been replaced with those of an ordinary junior officer at some point.

He looked hurried, wearing sunglasses and a mask.

And in front of him was a helicopter that had already been started.

Inside the command room, a large number of staff members looked flustered, and there was constant quarreling.

"Where is the Chief?"

"What should we do next? Who can command us?"

"Where's Li Zhi? Where did he go?"
