Chapter 268: But… how the hell are we supposed to change the ocean?
"It’s nothing..."
Auremax shook his head, his expression grim. "My Lord, looks like we’ll need to rethink our strategy. The enemy’s way stronger than we originally estimated... If we keep pushing like this, I doubt we’ll get anywhere."
"I’m fine, really. Just hurts a little—ow, haha..." Kyros forced a grin through clenched teeth, but the smile quickly faded into frustration. He muttered under his breath, "Can’t believe we actually lost..."
This was supposed to be his first big mission with Ethan—his first real shot at doing something major. And it ended in failure. That hit harder than he expected. He looked visibly down, his mood sinking fast.
"I wouldn’t call it a failure," Ethan said, shaking his head. "You guys worked together really well. ’Unit 270’ took out a ton of Leviathans and Deep Sea Leviathans."
As he spoke, he pulled up the system’s combat log.
In just that short time, they’d managed to take down nearly eighty Tier-13 Leviathans and over twenty Tier-14 Deep Sea Leviathans. That was about a fifth of the entire Leviathan army.
Honestly, that kind of kill count? Pretty damn impressive.
Especially considering the enemies they were up against—every single one of them was either a Legendary or Mythic Unit.
And on top of that, they were all under the command of a Crimson Ultimate-tier hero. A powerhouse of that level wasn’t someone you could just steamroll. If it were that easy, those titles wouldn’t mean jack.
Still... that guy was ridiculously strong.
