Chapter 451: Chapter 224: Yunxia Ridge Mother Empress, Plotting, Lightning Beheading?

That way, Lin Feng could use his Lv30 Ion Laser Cannon to kill the target from a distance, drastically reducing casualties during the underground operation.

"Alright, that’s the plan."

"We’ll set out early tomorrow, around 4 AM. We should arrive in the Southwest Region by 5 AM. Ling Yi and I will scout ahead to pinpoint the Mother Empress’s exact location."

"Then, just like in the battle North of the River, two hundred Warriors and one Genetic Combat Team will secure the cave entrance. The other three Battle Groups, with more than sixty Tier Two Awakeners, will follow me to kill the Yunxia Mother Empress!"

"We’ll be outnumbered, so we have to fight a swift and decisive battle. We need to reach the Zerg Race Mother Empress before it can react and mobilize the entire Swarm."

"We’ll catch it completely off guard!"

"This operation shall be codenamed: Lightning Beheading!"

"Any other questions? If not, dismissed. Tell your squad members to rest up and save their strength for tomorrow’s battle."

"This battle is the opening salvo of our plan to break out of the Capital, and it is the Salvation Army’s first chance to prove ourselves in the North!"

"We must win! We cannot lose!"

The commanders present all rose and saluted.

"Yes, sir!"

They then returned to their respective apartment floors and dormitories to notify their teams of the mission for the following morning.

At midnight, Lin Feng and Ling Yi returned to the apartment, where Lin Feng suddenly asked a question.

"Do you have any other intel on tomorrow’s target?"

Ling Yi knew he was asking about the great alliance in the southeast of the Main Continent, a matter discussed within the Spiritual Space shared by all Mother Empresses.

Once the two of them were inside Lin Feng’s luxurious apartment, a golden light flashed in Ling Yi’s eyes. He nodded and said:

"I do. This Mother Empress has already reached Early Stage Perfection. Her rank is outside the top one hundred and fifty, and she’s about to start her advancement to Tier Three Middle Stage. So she’s not weak—stronger than the one from North of the River."

Lin Feng frowned slightly.

"So, is it possible she’s in the process of advancing to Tier Three Middle Stage right now?"

If he were really that lucky, Lin Feng would be laughing in his sleep tonight.

When a Mother Empress starts her advancement into the Mid-Late Tier Three stages, she can’t mobilize extra Spirit to guard against outside invaders.

Her entire Swarm also enters a pre-programmed, automated state, and its organizational strength drops by more than a single level.

This meant that as long as they dealt with the Tier Two Swarm guarding her Nest, they could march straight in and take down the Mother Empress without breaking a sweat.

Ling Yi pursed his lips, shattering Lin Feng’s fantasy.

"Unlikely. This Mother Empress showed signs of entering and exiting the Spirit World as recently as yesterday. She was trying to trade for Tier Two Zerg Eggs with other nearby Mother Empresses and inviting them to launch a joint expansion to attack human settlements deeper inland."

"Now is not the right time for her to begin the advancement."

"Until the defense of the Capital is over, she’s stuck on the periphery of the encirclement. There are human military blockades and fortifications just a dozen kilometers away. Even if she had ten times the courage, she wouldn’t dare to rashly begin her advancement..."

"Right now, her attempts to trade for Tier Two Zerg Eggs, build up her strength, and recruit other Mother Empresses to expand her territory are likely all in preparation for her advancement—clearing out nearby threats first."

Lin Feng nodded. It was a shame their breakout plan couldn’t be delayed; otherwise, if they waited a few more days, the Salvation Army might have actually been able to catch the Yunxia Ridge Mother Empress during her advancement.

Then they could have taken her down easily, scoring a massive prize.

But as things stood, they were forced to act. To save the millions trapped in the Capital City, every second counted.

They had no choice but to face a Lv33 Zerg Race Mother Empress head-on.

Her Physique and Spirit Attributes were both over three thousand.

In fact, according to Ling Yi’s description, they were approaching the upper limit of four thousand. If her situation permitted, she might have already advanced to Tier Three Middle Stage and become a foe that even Lin Feng would have to fall back from.

"The Yunxia Ridge Mother Empress is that powerful. Are you sure we can win?"

Lin Feng lifted his Lv29 Tiger-toothed Chainsaw Sword from beside the Ion Laser Cannon. After being reinforced with the Golden Neck Guard, it now boasted a terrifying 4,950 Damage per second and could even ignore the protection from a Mother Empress’ Neck Guard.

Combined with the long-range damage from the Laser Cannon...

Killing a regular Tier Three Early-stage Mother Empress would be no problem at all.

Lin Feng also hoped to use this beheading mission to trigger a Tier Jumping Upgrade for his Lv29 Tiger-toothed Chainsaw Sword, turning it into a Lv30 Golden-quality Close Combat Weapon.

At that point, with a long-range Laser Cannon and a Close Combat Chainsaw Sword, he would have the power to fight even multiple Early-stage Mother Empresses at once.

Hearing Lin Feng’s question, Ling Yi thought for a moment, and after some assessment, he revealed the key point:

"Yes!"

"Remember, as long as you don’t give her the chance to unleash Divine Domain Descent, this victory is ours for the taking."

"Otherwise, once Infinite Reproduction is cast upon her, her maximum Life Force and recovery speed will increase severalfold in a short time, making her a truly Undying Body."

Lin Feng’s eyes narrowed as he glanced at the Lv30 Ion Laser Cannon. Its burst Damage wasn’t particularly high.

A single shot from the Ion Light Cannon dealt six thousand Damage at most.

"We have to find a way to sever the Mother Empress’s connection to the Biological Nest behind her, and do it quickly, to get her Life Value back to normal!"

Ling Yi nodded.

"Exactly. And it must be fast, under ten seconds. The moment she realizes what’s happening, she’ll do everything in her power to release her Divine Realm."

Lin Feng frowned. ’My power alone clearly isn’t enough,’ he thought. ’I’ll need extra fire support.’

’Shen Jie can barely manage to burst out over two thousand Damage when he activates his Slaughter Realm. Combined with my Tiger-toothed Chainsaw Sword and the Ion Laser Cannon...’

’That would be a total of over eight thousand Damage in a single second.’

’That should be enough.’
