Lord of Illusions City
Chapter 729 A Desperate Gamble
Although fighting back would increase Li Chenzhou's Slaughter Points consumption, if they didn't fight back in this situation, the Devourers could attack them recklessly. In comparison, the consumption of Slaughter Points after fighting back was reduced a lot.
However, what made Li Chenzhou's balls hurt was that due to the characteristics of the energy shield, they could only use energy weapons now, that is, beam guns and beam cannons. Of course, planet destroyers could also be used.
And their weapons with physical warheads could not be used, including the infinite bullet guns and the weapons they had collected in their own world, which could only be put aside now.
In other words, the warriors in the war fortress could only use weapons produced by the Slaughter Mall, which was another expenditure of Slaughter Points.
The defending energy shield, the attacking beam weapons, and the Devourer hatchling, Xiao Xin, who was being incubated, were consuming Li Chenzhou's Slaughter Points like water.
However, in order to seize the beachhead into the Devourer plane, Li Chenzhou couldn't care about so much now. If their war fortress was blown up, everyone inside would definitely die. In that case, what was the use of keeping so many Slaughter Points?
Tian Ya and Fatty were also on the battlefield outside the fortress. At this time, because there was an energy shield, close combat was impossible. Therefore, only Fatty's taunt skill was useful, and it was really quite effective when used at this time.
As long as Fatty crooked his finger and shouted, "Come here!" those fighters would swarm towards Fatty. At this time, all the surrounding defensive weapons would fire at those fighters.
Because the fighters were dense, a beam of light could even penetrate four or five fighters, and large beam cannons comparable to planet destroyers could destroy dozens or hundreds of fighters with one shot!
The battle was quite fierce. Around the war fortress, almost everything was white beam energy, and countless fireballs exploded one after another. In just twenty or thirty minutes, the Devourers had lost more than five figures worth of fighters.
However, because they sensed Xiao Xin's existence, the Devourers completely disregarded casualties now. No matter how many fighters exploded, countless fighters still flew out of those eight mother nests and rushed towards the war fortress.
This made Li Chenzhou a little depressed. He originally thought that after the Devourer hatchling, Xiao Xin, entered here, he would enter a small world, and the Devourers here should not be able to sense it. But he didn't expect that the Devourers' senses could actually cross space.
However, he was already in here now, so no matter what, he had to persevere to the end. Otherwise, the previous Slaughter Points would be completely wasted!
"Boss! Gray Bear has arrived with reinforcements. Should we let them come over?"
Duan Lei, who had retrieved the origin of the universe, returned. After seeing Li Chenzhou, he said immediately.
"Of course they have to come over, but... in this situation, they won't be of much use!"
Li Chenzhou looked at the battlefield outside and said:
"We need to open up a second battlefield!"
"A second battlefield?"
Duan Lei was stunned for a moment, and then he understood what Li Chenzhou meant. He couldn't help but frown:
"Boss, this is too risky! We are now occupying the space channel. No matter what, the retreat is on our side. If it really doesn't work, we can retreat back to our world and defend there.
But if we give up here, it won't be so easy to retreat again! Moreover, only you can use Slaughter Points, so if we split into two battlefields, you will also be overwhelmed!"
"But if we keep wasting like this, no matter how many Slaughter Points I have, I won't be able to beat them!"
Li Chenzhou pointed to the Devourer mother nests outside:
"These guys have dominated the universe for I don't know how many tens of thousands of years. We definitely can't compare to their reserves. So, we can only take a gamble! If we can't stand here, then it will be useless for us to retreat back to our world. In the end, we will still be exhausted by them!
Moreover... their hatred value for Xiao Xin is the highest. So, I'll take Xiao Xin with me. I think it will be much safer here! And I will leave the Slaughter Points in the fortress. You can also transport mutated crystals through the space channel to replenish energy!"
"No, Boss, if you leave with Xiao Xin, then... what about the war fortress at the entrance?"
Duan Lei asked.
Li Chenzhou's meaning was very clear, that is, he would drive the current war fortress away from here. Because the Devourers valued Xiao Xin the most, they should chase after Li Chenzhou.
And this entrance naturally cannot be abandoned. Another war fortress must be placed down, but the problem is that only Li Chenzhou can exchange for this thing. If he drives the war fortress away, no one will be able to put down another war fortress to guard this entrance.
This entrance definitely cannot be abandoned. The reason why Li Chenzhou was able to rush out before and successfully occupy the entrance was because the Devourers did not expect that he could instantly create such a large war fortress.
If this entrance is abandoned and the Devourers are prepared, it may not be so easy to enter again!
"It's okay! I have a way!"
Li Chenzhou said:
"Moreover, we must go deep into the Devourer's world. Otherwise, how can the Devourers hatched by Xiao Xin get out? The energy beams outside are too dense. Even if they are tenth-level ability users, they can't rush out at all!"
"Boss! I'm here, what's the plan?"
Just then, Gray Bear also teleported in and shouted loudly:
"Those troops have all arrived, but... they are all used to fighting guerrilla warfare. So, I think we should kill our way out. We can't just defend here all the time!"
"That's right, I'm thinking about killing our way out!"
Li Chenzhou looked at Gray Bear and then at Duan Lei:
"Xiao Lei, it's settled then! I'll take Gray Bear, Xiao Ya, Xiao Xin, and the reinforcements into the Devourer world, you stay here and continue to defend. If it really doesn't work, you can abandon the war fortress here and retreat back to our world!"
"Boss, are you sure you want to do this?"
Duan Lei looked at Li Chenzhou and asked.
"I'm sure! Let's take a gamble. Either we kill the Devourers, or the Devourers kill us. In short, this is a war in which only one side can win. There is no compromise!"
Li Chenzhou said:
"We will drive the fortress away directly in a while. You go back to that side first. After I put down the war fortress here, I will go and call you right away!"
"Okay!"
Seeing that Li Chenzhou had made up his mind, Duan Lei stopped persuading him. He just stepped forward and gave Li Chenzhou a hug, and said softly:
"Boss, take care!"
After speaking, Duan Lei said to the people he had brought over who were controlling the fortress weapons and fighting the Devourers:
"Everyone, get ready to form a team immediately, teleport back to the channel hall, and return to our world! Quickly!"
Upon receiving Duan Lei's order, all the people from Li Chenzhou's world immediately began to evacuate their combat positions. The reinforcements from the Duo Luo world and other worlds immediately took over their positions under Hu Tao's command...
