#576 - Chapter 576 The Courage to Give It a Go

“Ooh...”

On the battlefield of Elbaf, the battle horns had long been blown, and the air was filled with deafening shouts of killing and booming sounds.

The roars of the giants seemed to shake the entire earth as they stood on their homeland, wielding their massive weapons and fearlessly迎迎 the onrushing enemies.

Within the enemy ranks, a large number of Pacifistas were deployed onto the battlefield. These cold, mechanical giants exuded a chilling sense of oppression, and each firing of the laser cannons in their hands brought immense destruction.

Yet, even so, the World Government was still at a disadvantage on this battlefield.

“Boom!”

A Pacifista's laser cannon fired suddenly, the massive beam tearing through the air and heading straight for Elbaf's defensive line.

Where the beam swept across, the ground exploded violently, sending rubble flying in all directions.

However, these powerful mechanical soldiers did not achieve their intended effect.

The giants' defensive line stood firm; they were long accustomed to facing all forms of invasion.

A giant warrior raised his shield high, blocking the incoming laser cannon fire. The intense beam struck the shield, erupting in a dazzling burst of sparks.

He gritted his teeth, and cracks appeared in the ground beneath his feet, but his body remained unmoving.

“Pacifistas? Hmph, just some metal shells!”

The giant warrior sneered. He suddenly raised his massive war hammer and slammed it down with force, directly hitting an approaching Pacifista.

The giant metal shell was smashed into a concave shape, and the Pacifista crashed to the ground, its limbs twitching as the light of its laser cannon went out.

More Pacifistas attempted to flood the battlefield, their mechanical steps orderly and powerful, their eyes flashing with cold, red light.

However, the giants' coordination was even more seamless. They formed an unbreakable defensive line, using shields and weapons to tightly protect Elbaf's fortress.

“Stop them! Don't let them get near the city walls!”

A giant commander roared, his giant axe swinging down with a mighty blow, its sharp blade directly cleaving a Pacifista in two.

Huge sparks flew as the Pacifista's body instantly lost its balance and crashed to the ground.

Although the Pacifistas were numerous and the threat they posed was not to be underestimated, the World Government's ranks did not display the strength they should have.

This was not because they lacked sufficient troops, but because within their ranks, many did not treat this battle as a life-or-death struggle.

“These giants are too troublesome! Their defensive line is impenetrable!”

A World Government soldier complained, hiding behind a Pacifista, his weapon not firing at all.

“Why bother risking our lives? This battle isn't something we can decide.”

Another soldier leaned against cover, casually gnawing on a piece of dry food, his face showing no sign of the tension of battle.

“Aren't the Pacifistas pretty good at taking hits? Let them take the brunt of it.”

“Yeah, they always say the giants of Elbaf are the strongest warriors; they're not something ordinary soldiers like us can deal with.

Let those metal guys wear them down first.”

A third soldier muttered softly, simply squatting down and pretending to adjust his equipment.

These soldiers' "sandbagging" behavior quickly spread. They stood behind the Pacifistas, with no intention of attacking or organizing an effective defense.

Faced with such a chaotic situation, the commander's roar seemed powerless.

“You bunch of good-for-nothings! Get up there! If Elbaf's defensive line is breached, none of us will survive!”

A World Government commander, his face red with anger, waved his command sword and roared loudly.

However, no matter how much he shouted, the soldiers maintained their lazy attitude.

In contrast, the warriors of Elbaf displayed unparalleled discipline and combat power.

The defensive line they built with their bodies was as unbreakable as steel.

Even in the face of the Pacifistas' artillery fire, they remained steadfast in protecting their homeland.

“Don't let their metal things get close! The Giant race will never yield to such things!”

A giant warrior roared, raising his shield high and charging towards a row of Pacifistas, forcefully knocking them back.

Then, he swung the giant axe in his hand, the axe blade heavily smashing into the head of a Pacifista, making a loud noise and directly shattering the mechanical giant's head.

The giants of Elbaf did not fight alone; their cooperation demonstrated extremely high combat skills. One giant used his shield to block the Pacifista's artillery fire, while another quickly charged from the side and pierced the mechanical giant's power core with a spear.

On the battlefield, the giants' roars shook the heavens and the earth.

Their fighting spirit was like fire, almost setting the entire battlefield ablaze.

In contrast, the morale of the World Government's troops was increasingly low. Their fear gradually spread, and even the Pacifistas' deterrent power seemed pale and weak.

In the command center in the distance, several high-ranking World Government officials had gloomy faces, their eyes flashing with undisguised anger.

“These soldiers are not playing the role they should be! They only know how to hide behind the Pacifistas, and they can't even manage the most basic charge!”

One official slammed the table angrily, his voice full of helplessness.

“The Pacifistas may be numerous, but they are ultimately just tools and cannot replace real soldiers.”

Another official said coldly, a hint of anxiety in his eyes.

“If morale continues to decline, I'm afraid we won't even be able to consolidate our defensive line.”

“It's not a matter of morale; the giants of Elbaf are too strong.”

A low voice interjected, a hint of gloom in his tone.

“Their strength, their will, is something our soldiers cannot match.”

As time passed, the situation on the battlefield became increasingly clear.

Although the Pacifistas were strong, in the face of the Elbaf giants' powerful defensive line, they were nothing more than consumables used to fill the battle losses.

And the World Government's lazy soldiers completely exposed their weakness.

In this battle, the warriors of Elbaf were writing an unshakable defensive battle with their blood and sweat.

And the World Government was sinking deeper and deeper into the quagmire.

The intense confrontation on the Elbaf battlefield continued, with the Pacifistas' artillery fire and the giants' roars intertwined.

However, deep within this chaotic battlefield, a figure stood quietly, his eyes calm and deep.

He was Bartholomew Kuma, the man who was always taciturn but possessed extraordinary abilities.

He wore a black robe and held a worn book in his hand, as if even on this bloody battlefield, he was still immersed in his own thoughts.

Kuma's eyes swept across the battlefield. He saw the giants fighting hard to resist the Pacifistas' artillery fire, and he saw the New Marines and the Elbaf warriors fighting to the death to protect this land.

He did not speak, but a hint of gravity flashed in his eyes.

He knew that if the situation continued like this, although Elbaf's defensive line remained solid, the enemy's numbers and pressure would gradually drag down their combat power.

More importantly, he knew that the battle at Mary Geoise was the key to deciding everything.

If Jin'an and his comrades could not shake Pangaea Castle, then no matter how stubbornly Elbaf defended, the outcome of this battle might still tilt towards the World Government.

“We must reduce their pressure.”

A thought flashed through Kuma's mind, and his fingers tapped lightly on the pages of the book.

His gaze turned to the rear of the battlefield, and the elite combat forces that could be temporarily drawn upon gradually entered his field of vision.

His right hand slowly raised, his palm open in the air, as if controlling the entire space.

As he gently waved his palm, a slightly distorted halo formed in front of him. The halo gradually expanded, like an invisible portal, connecting the space of the two battlefields.

“I will send you to the front lines, to Mary Geoise.”

His tone was low, but full of courage to take a gamble.
