Chapter 2078: The War God’s Trap and the First Wave of Suicide Squads (3)

Editor: Henyee Translations

The strategic tunnel of the defense fortress of Asteroid 570’s cosmic tunnel node was 680 meters long. The entire tunnel was 20 meters thick and used the Spiritual Race’s strongest construction material.

Even if the Nine Satellites Planetary realm wanted to destroy this material, they would have to use their full strength to break it. It was easy to destroy one to two meters, but destroying 680 meters was an impossible mission. Therefore, he could only attack forcefully.

The news that the reinforcements sent by the Southern Military Region had attacked the Defense Fortress of the cosmic tunnel node of Asteroid 525 had already spread.

Therefore, when the 50 Nine Satellites present heard that they were going to attack this place, although there were many of them, they were all worried.

With the Military God in command, they did not doubt the possibility of breaking through the defense fortress behind the cosmic tunnel node in front of them. They would definitely be able to.

However, there would definitely be casualties before they broke through.

With the strength that the Blue Star Expeditionary Force had displayed previously, the probability of the first three to five Nine Satellites planets leading the way dying in battle was more than 95%.

The possibility of the first two Nine Satellites leading the way dying in battle was 100%. In other words, the three to five Nine Satellites who led the charge were actually sending themselves to death.

The Nine Satellites were no longer novice soldiers within the Spiritual Race. Instead, they were true nobles or military officers. Therefore, the word hot-blooded could not be seen on them. Even Xu Zhijia could not order the Nine Satellites to charge to their deaths like quasi-planetary experts and ordinary low-level Planetary realm experts. He could not just let them send themselves to their deaths.

Therefore, after Xu Zhijia’s battle strategy was announced, most of the 50 Nine Satellites present looked at him, wanting to see who the military god called out to charge first.

Basically, anyone who was appointed would die in battle. Who would be willing to do that? They would not do it even if he was Xu Zhijia. They could still enforce military law to intimidate ordinary quasi-planetary and Planetary realms. However, this rule was not applicable to the Nine Satellites.

The Nine Satellites was just a small group. Furthermore, they were a very unique group that was extremely good at weighing the pros and cons.

Under such circumstances, the Spiritual Race’s Nine Satellites Planetary realm experts were already secretly discussing. If Xu Zhijia dared to let them charge first, they would have to disobey even if it was a military order.

He could risk his life for the Spiritual Race, he could fight a bloody battle, but he could not tempt fate.

This moment was a great test of the command art of Xu Zhijia. It was obvious that Xu Zhijia, as a top commander, had keenly sensed something from the gazes of these Nine Satellites. He understood after looking around. He could not use the other Nine Satellites for the first wave of assault. He could only use his personal guards.

Xu Zhijia’s gaze suddenly landed on his personal guard, Tu Juxiang.

Tu Juxiang, who was more than three meters tall, understood when he saw Xu Zhijia’s gaze land on him. He knelt on one knee and said, “I’m willing to die for you, Sir!”

Xu Bian, the vice-captain of the personal guard team, also stepped forward and knelt on one knee. “I’m willing to die for you, Sir!”

Xu Zhijia’s eyes turned hot, but he immediately suppressed it. Then, he casually pointed at two more personal guards and said, “The four of you, lead the first wave.”

The four personal guards shouted at the same time, “We are willing to die for you, Sir!”

The other Nine Satellites Planetary realm experts also heaved a sigh of relief when they saw this scene. Xu Zhijia said, “Don’t worry. I, Xu Zhijia, will definitely not let you die for nothing.” After saying that, Xu Zhijia first took out something that flickered with light. Then, he looked at Xu Yilong. “Yilong, where’s your spiritual treasure? Take it out and give it to me!”
