Chapter 378 The Unstoppable Demon Clan

Lin Mo smiled upon hearing this but did not reply.

Long Zhan would only say such things to him in private.

Outside, Long Zhan would never discuss high-level decisions.

"What about Terra?" Lin Mo asked, changing the subject.

"Has anything happened these past few days?"

Long Zhan put down the document.

"Nothing serious, everything is proceeding as planned."

"However..." he paused.

There's one thing worth mentioning.

Lin Mo raised an eyebrow. "What is it?"

Long Zhan walked to the screen sandbox and pointed his finger at an area marked in red.

"According to the intelligence we have gathered on Terra, the Demon Race has also mastered a similar teleportation technology."

"The satellites have been searching, and we have finally found the location of what appears to be a teleportation portal for the Asmodians on the continent of Terra."

Lin Mo's pupils contracted, and he abruptly stood up.

"Where?"

Long Zhan pointed to the red area on the sand table, "Here."

"It's more than 3,000 kilometers away from our territory, in the heart of the demon-occupied area."

"Satellite images have captured images of a large gathering of demons, and a place resembling a wormhole."

"Various demonic units are constantly emerging from inside."

Lin Mo stared at the sand table, his expression grave.

The demons have wormholes...

What does this mean?

This means that the Demon Race can mobilize reinforcements from their home planet at any time!

This means that the war on Terra is far more complex than imagined.

"Where's the image?" Lin Mo asked in a deep voice.

Long Zhan immediately pulled up the satellite images.

On the screen, on a desolate land, countless demonic creatures gathered.

At the center, a deep, dark rift with a diameter of over five hundred meters emitted an eerie light.

Space there was distorted, and all sorts of demonic units poured out from it endlessly.

Long Zhan tapped the screen with his finger.

"This shows that the demons have a main base."

"It's not some kind of hell from Terra's legends, but a real planet."

He paused, his gaze sweeping over the deep, dark crack in the satellite image.

"The number of seventh-tier combatants among the demon race is definitely far more than what we currently know."

Lin Mo stared at the screen, his brows furrowed.

In the image, the enormous wormhole crack, exceeding 500 meters in length, resembles a wound tearing the earth apart.

Space is distorted, and light and shadow intertwine.

A dense swarm of demonic units poured out: lesser demons, vicious hounds, corruptors, heavily armored demon soldiers...

It seems endless.

Long Zhan continued:

"Now, thanks to our arrival, the demons are clearly unable to continue wearing down Terra's resistance and cannot completely take over Terra."

"Then they will inevitably react."

"For example, reinforcements."

"To resolve this unstable factor in our Great Xia."

Lin Mo was startled.

Long Zhan's words were all reasonable.

"And according to the Great Xia's assessment of the Demon Race," Long Zhan's voice deepened.

"The demons likely have more advanced combat units."

"For example, the eighth order."

"Even the ninth rank."

Lin Mo's pupils contracted slightly.

Eighth rank...

The dragon battle screen switches to the previous battle log of Commander Malphite.

"Based on the Terra Continent's classification of ranks, and considering the previous performance of Commander Murphy, eighth-rank demons will have an energy shield on their bodies."

In the image, a faint energy fluctuation emanates from Murphy's body.

The shells struck the shield, exploding in flames, but they couldn't penetrate it.

Missiles rained down in rapid succession, their explosions deafening, while the shield only rippled slightly.

Long Zhan continued:

"According to experts, this is likely the manifestation of mental power when one's strength reaches a certain level."

"For example, a mage who specializes in spiritual development, while a warrior who focuses on physical strength can undergo a transformation in their spiritual power at the eighth rank, which is equally remarkable."

"They speculate that even nuclear weapons are unlikely to be able to inflict a fatal blow on it."

Lin Mo's breath hitched.

Even nuclear weapons won't work?

What's the point of fighting then?!

Long Zhan turned off the screen, turned around, and looked directly at Lin Mo.

"Now, we don't know when the demon reinforcements will arrive."

Lin Mo frowned, a sense of anxiety rising in his heart.

Long Zhan is right.

Previously, when Murphy was at the peak of the seventh rank, he already had an energy shield on his body.

All kinds of artillery and missile bombardment were ineffective.

If the nuclear bombs hadn't been powerful enough, they might not have been able to kill the enemy.

That's a high-level demon that can crush two seventh-tier berserk orcs!

If an eighth-tier one were to appear...

Can the Great Xia still fight?

Lin Mo immediately asked:

"General Long, do you have any contingency plans?"

"What if an eighth- or ninth-tier demon arrives?"

Long Zhan remained silent for two seconds, then shook his head.

"The strength of an eighth-tier being is currently unknown."

"We can only pray that a high-yield nuclear bomb can cause enough damage; it is the most powerful weapon humanity currently possesses."

"I have already informed the Academy of Sciences."

"We hope to develop more powerful and newer weapons."

Lin Mo gave a wry smile.

This answer really makes me feel insecure.

Is the Academy of Sciences developing a new weapon?

How long will that take?

A month?

Three months?

Or more than six months?

Will the Demon Clan give the Great Xia that much time?

Lin Mo rubbed his temples, deciding not to think about it for now, as thinking about it more wouldn't solve anything.

So he changed the subject and asked:

"Has the demon race made any unusual moves recently?"

Long Zhan shook his head.

"no."

"It's not just us who haven't done it; even the demons in other worlds have stopped their attacks."

Lin Mo was somewhat surprised.

Why are the demons so well-behaved?

Long Zhan continued:

"And this is the biggest anomaly!"

"Either the demons are accumulating power."

"Either they're waiting for something."

"And that is exactly what we are worried about."

Stop the attack... This is completely unusual, and even a fool would know that this is definitely not a good thing.

The demon race has been invading the continent of Terra for two hundred years and has never stopped attacking.

The fact that it has suddenly stopped must mean there's some conspiracy or big move going on!

Lin Mo stared at the red area on the sand table and tentatively asked:

"How about we try using a nuclear bomb to wipe out this wormhole and all the demons?"

Long Zhan sighed and shook his head.

"I've thought about it, but the demons aren't just in this one place."

"Based on satellite observations and anomalies in spatial fluctuations, we have discovered at least several such locations."

"The rest are underground. These wormholes are so deep that even a nuclear bomb that can penetrate the earth cannot reach them."

"If we attack rashly, we will only alert them and cause them to open wormholes in more hidden places."

"It's better this way, at least we can see what new demons have emerged and what unusual activity is happening inside the wormhole."

Lin Mo hadn't expected that the demons also had multiple escape routes.

This also completely extinguished his idea of ​​blowing it up without any regard for the consequences.

Long Zhan is right. It would be better to keep one as an observation point for any unusual movements by the demons, so that we can make preparations accordingly.

"In that case, we must monitor this wormhole closely and keep an eye out for any new discoveries."

Long Zhan nodded.

"It's already been arranged."

"24-hour uninterrupted monitoring."

"We'll know immediately if a large number of demon units emerge."

Lin Mo turned and walked to the window, gazing at the distant azure sky.

But his heart was filled with dark clouds.

The threat of the demons is like a sword hanging over our heads.

It could fall at any moment!

He had a premonition that it would come soon.
