Apocalypse Gacha Chapter 1479- 5.5 million

Beyond the plain was a grassland backed by a massive hill. In front of the grassland was a rocky beach and, beyond that, an even more extensive swamp.

Several landforms, from the small grassland to the vast swamp, formed a trumpet-shaped terrain, with the massive hill at its center.

On the small grassland, over 100,000 Cloud Peak warriors were lined up in formation. The entire formation exuded a silent yet chilling killing intent.

Every single one of them knew exactly what they were about to face, yet none of them showed any fear. Rather than fighting for their lives, they felt they were making history. This was how the warriors of Cloud Peak felt.

In peacetime, most of them were ordinary, unremarkable individuals. They had lived within history but had never created or changed it. In the long river of time, they had been insignificant specks of dust.

But in Cloud Peak, here, today, they all knew that even if they died in battle, their names would be engraved on the Monument of Heroes that Cloud Peak would soon erect.

That was history.

Xia Lei's Flower Thunder Squad, Mo Ye's Night Battle Squad, Liang Chuyin's Wind Dance Squad, Little Tiger's Vanguard Battle Squad, Shengyuan's Bolder Squad, Tong Hu and Xiao Li's Couple Squad, Young Master Yun’s Cloud Squad, Ah Yang's Soaring Squad, Xiao Peng's Linhai Squad), Gan Lan and Mei Na's Sound Battle Squad, Tang Tian's Ask Heaven Squad, Parrk Xiuying and her Midstream Support Squad, Ah Tao and his Blue Squad, Liu Zhenghong and her Gene Battle Squad, Le Dayuan and his Crystal Weapon Squad... Along with Guang Yao's combat unit on the other side, Cloud Peak had dispatched sixteen complete teams! If you included Xia Bai's Female Guards and Ye Zhongming's Battle Rat Army, that made eighteen fully organized combat units!

Within Cloud Peak, only Sister Rong's team remained to guard the home. To ensure Cloud Peak's safety, even Chameleon and the Posthumous Tribe entered Cloud Peak to defend it just in case.

The main forces of Sha Sha and Bai Feng's battle squads had also entered Ying City to assist in defense, temporarily taking over the positions Young Master Yun and Ah Yang left vacant.

Beyond that, Cloud Peak’s top-tier fighters- evil dragon Yangos, Yellow Ball, Three-nosed Elephant, Jiu Bao, Death King Tree, Red Hair, the twins, and even the recently evolved Rat King couple, all of them had entered the Secret Realm.

In other words, Cloud Peak had gone all out, revealing almost all of its strength.

The fully assembled Cloud Peak, the newly renamed teams, an impending battle... Every warrior of Cloud Peak felt their blood boiling just thinking about it.

This was a battle destined to be remembered—no, a war!

Together, these forces were fully confident in challenging a level-nine lifeform.

At the very center of the formation was the mother platform of the Nether Bone Demon Platform. At this moment, it rippled, and Ye Zhongming appeared within it.

"Boss!"

"Boss!"

"Zhongming!"

The core members who had been waiting immediately gathered around him upon seeing Ye Zhongming.

"Are you okay?" Liang Chuyin and Xia Lei asked, concerned, after Seeing Ye Zhongming's pale face and the large cracks in his armor.

Ye Zhongming removed the armor, which had basically lost its function, and replaced it with another set. He shook his head, indicating that he was fine.

He had been responsible for luring the Armor King into the secret realm, a task that required extensive preparation.

Li Daqian and the others had thought Cloud Peak's delay in taking action was due to waiting for the core members to complete their eight-star evolution and familiarize themselves with the secret realm's environment and battle rehearsals. But in reality, Cloud Peak had also been using a large number of people to track the Armor King's movements. Several skilled assassins from the Chameleon had even risked their lives to skillfully install a teleportation device in the Armor King's territory without being detected, allowing Ye Zhongming to appear.

After that, Ye Zhongming used high-level marine lifeform corpses to lure the Armor King into chasing him through the space gate.

This was a meticulous and dangerous task. He had to ensure the Armor King took the bait while minimizing interference from other mutated lifeforms and keeping himself alive.

The Armor King was the top-ranked mutated lifeform in the nation, with top strength. Even Ye Zhongming could only endure its attacks. During their brief encounter, Ye Zhongming had to use two trump cards to survive and complete the mission.

If something had happened to him, everything else would have been meaningless. Yet, this luring task could only be done by him. In truth, Mu Xinfei's words weren't entirely wrong—the premise of this plan was insane. Ye Zhongming luring the monster alone wasn't something a normal person would do.

Fortunately, though injured, he had succeeded.

A beam of white light fell on Ye Zhongming. It wasn't Park Xiuying who had cast it but another healer from the Midstream Support Squad she led, using an intermediate healing spell.

After drinking an intermediate healing potion, Ye Zhongming's injuries were mostly healed.

"Has it arrived?"

Ye Zhongming glanced at the black cloud that had already crossed the nearby mountain peak and was now over the plain. He suppressed the joy in his heart and asked.

"It's here. The vanguard is about five kilometers away and will arrive soon," Xia Lei said, having just reviewed the information from the Exquisite Floating Ball.

"What about the rest? How does the number compare to our estimates?"

Ye Zhongming asked again. This battle plan wasn't just about preparations on Earth; it also involved the secret realm. Cloud Peak's warriors had been constantly scouting the secret realm, with a much higher casualty and disappearance rate than on Earth.

There was no other way. They were responsible for monitoring the Nine-Winged Crow and its demon monster army.

Xia Lei hesitated slightly before answering, "About ten percent more than we expected."

Seeing Ye Zhongming frown, Mo Ye explained, "Our intelligence personnel were not inaccurate. We just had bad luck. A demon monster group that had split off earlier happened to wander nearby and was reabsorbed into the main force about two hours ago."

Ten percent might not seem like a large proportion, but in terms of actual numbers, it meant a full 500,000 more!

Yes, this was another part of the battle plan!

Ye Zhongming wasn't just aiming to take down two level-nine lifeforms in one go—he also wanted to eliminate the powerful demon monster army following the Nine-Winged Crow as it searched for the space gate.

Over time, as the Nine-Winged Crow continuously changed its direction of travel across the secret realm, many of the originally endless demon monsters had fallen behind. The scale of the army was no longer what it had been at the beginning. After careful scouting and estimation by Cloud Peak, the number of demon monsters still following the Nine-Winged Crow by the time of this operation was around five million. But now, a demon monster group of 500,000 had coincidentally appeared during Cloud Peak’s scouting gap in the past two days, increasing the number of demon monsters Cloud Peak needed to deal with to an unprecedented... 5.5 million!
