Global Mutation: Opening with Swallowing a Black Mamba-Chapter 361 - 362: Cutting Into the Rear Lines! The Great Battle Is Imminent!

Chapter 361: Chapter 362: Cutting Into the Rear Lines! The Great Battle Is Imminent!

There were gradually some changes occurring on the battlefield.

At the invitation of Gu Qijue, about thirty legions quickly converged towards the Black Stone Legion and Divine Light Legion.

Gu Qijue’s Black Stone Legion had over thirty million people, while Han Yiming’s Divine Light Legion still counted ten million.

The numbers of the other thirty legions varied widely.

Once assembled, Gu Qijue commanded a fighting force of three hundred million.

When Gu Qijue was on the Divine Desolate Continent, he organized wars with two billion people, leading a force of three hundred million was nothing to him.

Of course, the interstellar battlefield was more complex, with the power of both sides being more terrifying, making direct comparisons inconvenient.

However, under the empowerment of the Infinite Engine, commanding these three hundred million troops posed no problem for Gu Qijue.

The three hundred million warriors of the Star Cluster Alliance coalition quickly heard Gu Qijue’s orders through their earpieces.

"I am the coalition commander, Gu Qijue! All soldiers listen to my orders!"

"Our current mission is to bypass the Klein People’s rear and set up a blockade position."

"The Mechanical Golden Lion will be the first echelon, paving the way for the subsequent troops."

"The Black Stone Legion and Divine Light Legion will be the second echelon, eliminating any enemies along the way to ensure the rapid passage of the main force."

"Other legions will be the third echelon. Avoid entanglement with enemies along the way, swiftly follow the Mechanical Golden Lion, Black Stone Legion, and Divine Light Legion."

"Now, commence action!"

After Gu Qijue issued the orders, the Mechanical Golden Lion immediately moved out.

In previous battles, the Mechanical Golden Lion incurred close to ten percent losses.

This great battle was also a significant loss for Gu Qijue.

However, as long as they could annihilate the Klein People, they could seize all the spoils of this battlefield.

At that time, the spoils would be distributed according to merit, allowing him not only to recover his losses but to profit greatly.

Regarding the Beidou Legion and Griffin Legion, people would find...

Previously, when they fought independently, they remained unknown and had to bear the costs themselves.

But following Gu Qijue, there was reward to be had.

In this way, they would certainly be willing to join Gu Qijue in future joint actions.

Next, the coalition commenced operations according to Gu Qijue’s deployment.

They were already positioned on the flank of the battlefield, making it easy to maneuver toward the rear.

The Mechanical Golden Lion was like a sharp knife, constantly cutting through obstacles and blazing the trail.

After suffering another ten percent in losses, they smoothly reached the set positions.

Upon their appearance, the rear base of the Klein People instantly went to the highest alert!

The Klein People were already very familiar with Gu Qijue’s tactics.

They labeled him as the base destroyer.

Unlike others, Gu Qijue was particularly fond of raiding their bases.

This time, appearing with three hundred million troops was clearly for such a purpose.

Yet, the Klein People quickly realized that this time seemed different.

Gu Qijue led three hundred million troops, directly fortifying nearby planets, planetary satellites, and numerous asteroids along with many aerial platforms.

This gave the Klein People a rather absurd idea, that Gu Qijue assumed they would be repelled by the Star Cluster Alliance?

Even though the battle had been capricious, costing the Klein People dearly...

As it stood, the Klein People were not yet facing a definitive defeat.

The Klein People’s commander even began preparing to attack Gu Qijue from both front and rear.

On the main battlefield and in the rear bases, they could dispatch troops to encircle Gu Qijue.

Their sole worry was whether this was Gu Qijue’s ruse to lure them away from their strong points.

If rear base troops moved out and Gu Qijue unleashed another force from nowhere to attack, things would become problematic.

However, according to Klein People intelligence, they assessed Gu Qijue had no available troops at the moment.

Given that, they would happily accept Gu Qijue’s three hundred million troops!

At the rear of the Ice River Battlefield, both Gu Qijue and Han Yiming noticed the Klein People’s maneuvers.

Han Yiming spoke gravely, "The Klein People also intend to encircle us."

Gu Qijue nodded slightly and said, "That’s why I instructed everyone to establish defensive fortifications upon arrival."

"As long as we withstand the pressure and wait for opportunities to arise on the main battlefield."

"On the main battlefield, about four billion Klein Warriors are expected to fall here."

Han Yiming understood Gu Qijue was right.

But he still worriedly asked, "Should we adopt other measures?"

Gu Qijue was at the level where mountains could crumble before him without changing countenance, whereas Han Yiming lacked some composure.

He felt that faced with such circumstances, they should adapt and act instead of sticking to unchanging responses.

Gu Qijue shook his head, "Just prepare for defensive counterattacks."

"Moreover, send letters to operations departments of each Star Cluster, requesting their troops on the main battlefield to engage the Klein People in combat."

Upon hearing this, Han Yiming immediately took action.

He would give input on some of Gu Qijue’s decisions.

Other decisions, he would efficiently execute.

Because those decisions by Gu Qijue were aligned with his own conclusions as well.

Soon, the operations departments of the various Star Cluster Alliances received Han Yiming’s letter.

"Esteemed Chapus, this is the multi-legion joint force of Ice River Battlefield."

"Our three hundred million coalition has cut off the Klein People’s retreat."

"We request that the Storm Star Cluster Civilization’s entire force at Ice River Battlefield engage the Klein People in battle."

"We shall conduct the largest annihilation battle against the Klein People at Ice River Battlefield since the beginning of the war!"

"We have the same request to other Star Cluster-level Civilizations and hope to gain the support of the Storm Star Cluster Civilization!"

Chapus, the Storm Star Cluster Operations Minister, was inept when it came to decisive tasks, being good only at theoretical strategies without decisive action.

Faced with such matters, he could only refer to higher authorities.

The operations departments of other Star Clusters responded differently.

Some hawkish ministers fully supported Gu Qijue’s actions, dispatched reinforcements, and wanted a piece of the action.

Other fence-sitters held emergency meetings.

The remaining doves waited for the fence-sitters’ decisions to follow suit.

The changes within the Star Cluster Alliance quickly drew the Klein People’s attention.

The Klein People realized the Star Cluster Alliance was poised for a major battle at Ice River Battlefield!

For such a battle, the Klein People were eager.

The nearby Klein bases wasted no time and immediately dispatched large combat units to reinforce Ice River Battlefield.

The Klein People rapidly increased their forces, forcing the Star Cluster Alliance to do the same.

The total forces at this battlefield soon approached three hundred billion.

The Star Cluster Alliance commanded over two hundred billion combat units, while the Klein People had more than ninety billion.
