Chapter 175 Isolated Wind Apostle

The body of the Gale Apostle plunged into the sea like a cannonball, followed closely by the followers who had survived the laser orbital cannon, all diving into the water to escape Li Tianran's pursuit.

Although the Kunlun Dreadnought was powerful, the sea was still an insurmountable barrier. It was difficult for Li Tianran to pursue the apostles deep underwater.

The resistance of the seawater would greatly reduce the Kunlun Dreadnought's speed, and its strength lay in the sky. Although it could dive, its underwater performance was not outstanding, and its combat power would be greatly reduced!

Dozens of splashes erupted on the sea as the Gale Apostle and its followers all entered the sea. The second laser orbital cannon accurately struck the area where the Gale Apostle had fallen, instantly vaporizing a large area of ​​seawater, creating a huge crater on the calm surface.

It took three seconds for the surrounding seawater to rush in and fill the crater.

But the Gale Apostle and its followers had already disappeared.

"Still one step late!"

On the Kunlun Dreadnought, Li Tianran looked serious. He didn't believe the Gale Apostle would die from his second laser cannon. It was small in size, and once it entered the sea, it would immediately disperse, making it difficult for the Kunlun Dreadnought to lock onto its position.

It escaped again…

This was the second time the Gale Apostle had escaped from Li Tianran's grasp. He looked at the devastated, ruin-like 550 ground base, and clenched his right fist tightly.

Although Li Tianran had severely damaged the Ancient Civilization in the Great Desert battle, the disadvantage of human civilization was still very obvious. In the face of humanoid apostles like the Gale Apostle and the Star Apostle, the firepower currently possessed by humans was difficult to effectively strike!

If Gale and Star continuously launched guerrilla attacks and harassment against the human defense line with their respective followers, and the only firepower that humans could use to resist was the Kunlun Dreadnought, Li Tianran would probably be exhausted from continuously rushing to one attacked point after another!

These smaller Second Evolution creatures were indeed more difficult to deal with than the huge marine and Night Apostle groups for humans!

"It seems that we need to upgrade the Pioneer Legion as soon as possible to a point where it can directly confront the same number of followers! Otherwise, we won't be able to deal with such small-scale attacks!" Li Tianran muttered to himself, "The Kunlun Dreadnought cannot be divided into several parts, and I can't always drive it around the human world to provide support!"

…

The Kunlun Dreadnought slowly descended.

After statistics, the losses suffered by the 550 base in this attack were not too great. The number of deaths was around 2,000, thanks to the commander's decisive order to take cover. The troops did not directly confront the Gale Apostle.

The damage to the buildings was more serious. The dozen or so terrifying wind balls thrown out by the Gale Apostle ravaged the entire base, grinding the ground into countless intersecting trenches like river channels.

The command center, warehouse, radar station and other fortifications were severely damaged and could not be repaired. They could only be rebuilt.

In addition, dozens of tanks, five fighter jets, and twelve escort ships and cargo ships escorting the cargo ship were sunk…

Although this data seemed tragic, this was an apostle-level attack. Compared with the apostle-level wars of the past, this loss was very, very low!

Soon after, someone came to report and completely restored the situation of the 550 base's attack to Li Tianran.

"You said… only the Gale Apostle and its followers attacked the 550 base this time?" Li Tianran was stunned after hearing the report. The news was a little beyond his expectations.

He originally thought that since the Gale Apostle wanted to regain its Wonder Building wreckage, and had to go deep into the human defense line, which was somewhat dangerous, all the apostles would definitely act together to strive for the greatest results in the shortest possible time.

When Li Tianran rushed over before, he only saw the back of the Gale Apostle. He subconsciously thought that the other apostles had already taken action, but withdrew early due to their size…

But now it seemed that the other apostles had no intention of helping the Gale Apostle at all!

From attacking cargo ships transporting steel within the human defense line to attacking the 550 base to seize the Wonder Building wreckage, it was all the Gale Apostle doing it alone!

And the result of doing so was that before the Kunlun Dreadnought arrived, the Gale Apostle could not transport all the wreckage away, so it had to give up the lesser and take the greater, taking away the energy core part and sinking the other parts along with the cargo ship into the sea…

"This is strange… could this also be a strategy to lure the tiger away from the mountain? Attracting me here, and then the other apostles took the opportunity to attack Kuangxi Island or other defense lines?" Li Tianran touched his chin, his face full of doubt.

But he could observe the real-time situation of Kuangxi Island through the system. The area around Kuangxi Island was calm, and there were no signs of any sea beasts or apostles appearing.

So what was going on?

"Could it be that there are also differences between the Ancient Civilizations? The other apostles are unwilling to help the Gale Apostle regain the Babel Tower wreckage? So this capture operation is not because the Gale Apostle has another strategy, but because… it can't find helpers?" Li Tianran suddenly thought of a possibility.

This idea was a bit outrageous!

The apostles had coexisted for countless years, how could differences arise at this time?

Could it be that because the Gale Apostle's Wonder Building was destroyed and its strength greatly reduced, it could not maintain its top position in the Ancient Civilization, which led it to do the thing of attacking the 550 base alone?

The more Li Tianran thought about it, the more he felt that his guess was correct, because otherwise, there was no way to explain why the other apostles did not act with the Gale Apostle. If there was one more apostle today, the entire 550 base would have been completely destroyed before the Kunlun Dreadnought arrived.

The building wreckage on that cargo ship would also have been taken away completely, and would not have been sunk into the sea by the Gale Apostle itself!

"If this is the case, perhaps it is an opportunity!" Li Tianran keenly realized that this might be an excellent opportunity to split the Ancient Civilization and weaken the enemy's strength from the side.

However, so far, these things were just Li Tianran's guesses. He needed more powerful information to prove this.

"The Gale Apostle seized the Babel Tower wreckage and also attacked the cargo ship carrying steel. It must want to rebuild the Wonder Building. In that case, it will definitely take action again to plunder in the human world…" After a moment of silence, a plan slowly emerged in Lu Yan's mind.

If this plan could succeed, then the Gale Apostle and the Ancient Civilization could be completely separated!

"I won't let you escape from my hands a third time!" Li Tianran sat on the city wall of the 550 base, looking at the sea where the Gale Apostle disappeared, and said word by word.
