Cave Refuge

Before anyone could reply to his words, the communicators everyone carried all rang out at once. Someone glanced at their screen and immediately shouted loudly, the message just now was sent by the Imperial Court, notifying that the interception battle has begun and all personnel are free to act.

Following this shout, the vast majority of people immediately sprang into action.

The Bat Monsters that had been furiously charging with blood-red eyes, upon noticing that the humans tracked their whereabouts, not only did not scatter in fear but instead charged toward their location.

Seeing the humans advancing voluntarily, the Bat Monsters with blood-shot eyes did not think about retreating. Instead, they prepared to launch an attack on the humans coming towards them.

What the Bat Monsters did not expect was that, before the humans could get close, some among those who charged took out their usual firearms and, while the Bat Monsters were still stunned and unresponsive, they shot and killed several of the Bat Monsters.

After a few of the Bat Monsters were killed by the humans, the remaining Bat Monsters that had been steadily gaining altitude upfront, upon realizing the situation, immediately dropped the items they carried and rushed toward the human side to avenge their fallen kin.

Although the reason for the outbreak of the battle was very simple, once the fighting started, the scene became extremely chaotic.

You must understand, due to the Imperial Court issuing a forced conscription message to everyone, the number of humans gathered here had already surpassed thirty thousand.

If it weren't for the Imperial Court diverting everyone, the Magic Capital Base would not have been so easily plundered by the Bat Monsters.

Although the Bat Monsters individually were not strong in combat, their numbers seemed endless.

The Bat Monsters originally thought that Blue Star, a backward Plane that had not even constructed a Plane Transmission Channel, might have some highly talented individuals, but their cohorts who invaded Blue Star this time were those with mediocre talents and weak individual strength.

However, compared to the primitive Blue Star, since they possessed the ability to invade other Planes, naturally, each time they invaded and plundered a Different Dimension, they could possibly obtain special cultivation methods.

Perhaps due to incredible luck, after invading a humanoid Plane, they astonishingly seized the cultivation methods of Military Formations.

Although it was hard for them with their talents to become masters, under the effect of a Military Formation, they could still defeat a general master.

The humans who rushed to the front noticed very keenly that the Bat Monsters seemed to be casting spells.

Although they were unclear about what the other party was preparing to do at that moment, if they killed them, all issues would dissipate with their death.

The fighting method was very simple: at the moment, they did not know what the Bat Monster was up to, and although they were unclear about what exactly the other party was doing, they truly had no interest in knowing what the Bat Monster was doing at that moment.

But they knew that although they were unable to solve the problem at the moment, they could resolve the source of the problem.

Soon after, some people took out submachine guns and directly killed those Bat Monsters that were preparing to deploy a Military Formation.

Because the command issued by the Imperial Court, although somewhat inhumane, allowed everyone to somewhat understand the situation here after arriving.

At this time, although the Imperial Court did not say much at the beginning, everyone was not a fool, and they discovered some clues between the lines.

So this time everyone was summoned here, they all came fully armed and naturally had prepared ample combat supplies.

Once the melee began, although the real combat ability using firearms might not necessarily be stronger than when using melee weapons, if it was just for quelling rebellion and killing monsters, the killing efficiency with firearms was indeed higher.

As the machine guns opened fire simultaneously, not only were those bat monsters that were executing the military formation shot to death, but those around them were also incidentally eliminated by the bullets.

Observing the increasingly chaotic battlefield, Robinson William gave Dong Tianyu a heads-up before charging directly into the fray.

At this moment, Dong Tianyu didn't charge into the battlefield to slaughter like Robinson William did. Instead, he soared into the sky using Sword Control Technique, since he had already realized that the bat monsters' ultimate goal was to wait for the Plane Teleportation Gate to appear, to take away the things they had plundered from Blue Star.

Frankly speaking, Dong Tianyu actually didn't care much for the trifling rewards offered by the Imperial Court, but since he had already come here, it felt somewhat unjustifiable not to take action.

The chaotic battlefield was also not suitable for using the Sword Control Technique to fight the enemy, so after a bit of thought, Dong Tianyu prepared to play the role of a gatekeeping boss.

Immediately after, Dong Tianyu cast the Invisibility Technique to hide himself, then took to the sky with Sword Flight, floating in mid-air, waiting for some stragglers.

While the battle between the humans and bat monsters raged on the sea below, a huge Plane Transmission Array suddenly appeared in the sky.

Dong Tianyu looked at the transmission array above his head, which definitely had a radius of over a kilometer, and suddenly doubted in his heart. If the array had been smaller, he might have had the ability to protect it and prevent anyone from entering the Space Transmission Channel and leaving Blue Star.

But seeing the enormous Plane Transmission Channel covering such a vast area above, Dong Tianyu had no means to stop all the bat monsters who wanted to enter the Plane Channel from getting through.

Just as Dong Tianyu was looking up at the huge transmission array with concern, the originally massive Plane Transmission Array above suddenly began to shrink, eventually becoming a screen of light about two meters in diameter.

When the Plane Transmission Channel completely stopped, Dong Tianyu once again flew near the screen with Sword Flight. Seeing the reduced area of the Plane Channel, Dong Tianyu now felt confident he could defend this Space Transmission Channel and ensure no bat monster would return.

The sudden appearance of the Plane Transmission Channel in the sky, followed by its rapid shrinking, naturally caught the attention of those bat monsters who had been drawn into the war reluctantly.

Although they didn't know what accident had occurred to the originally massive Plane Transmission Channel, causing it to shrink so drastically, they knew that as long as they passed through that Plane Channel, they could return to the plane where the bat monsters resided.

Now that the portal to return to their plane had appeared, other than those bat monsters who were still furiously entangled in the clash on the battlefield...

Those with clear heads immediately disengaged from battle, and with the spoils they had scavenged from Blue Star, they headed straight for the Plane Teleportation Gate.

By the time they reached the area where the Plane Teleportation Gate appeared, they immediately noticed an oval-shaped bone ball hovering above their heads.

Although the bone ball floating in the air was somewhat obstructive, it was quite typical for such fantastical scenes to emerge at this time.

As time passed, more and more bat monsters gathered here, and when everyone had dug three feet into the ground but still couldn't find the Plane Teleportation Gate, their excitement about returning home gradually vanished.

Just as all the bat monsters were becoming restless due to not finding the portal for returning, suddenly a bat monster pointed at the floating bone ball and asked the crowd, "Do you think our gateway home, the Plane Teleportation Gate, might be hidden inside that bone ball?"

All the bat monsters followed the speaking monster's claw and looked at the white bone ball floating in the air, and they quickly realized that when they arrived at Blue Star through the Plane Transmission Channel, it was also in the sky.

Now that the portal for returning still appeared in the sky, it should be quite normal. The only issue now was how to remove the layer of bones that was covering the outside of the Plane Teleportation Gate.
