Chapter 422 Rush to Rescue
Chapter 422 Rush to Rescue
Chennan Pass.
Main control room.
Guan's ten fingers were frantically jumping across the emerald green keyboard floating in the air.
Immediately afterwards, a series of blockade orders were accurately transmitted through the Night's Watch's internal communication channels to the ears of every soldier holding the city walls.
The deafening roar came from afar from time to time. Looking around, whenever the 'mysterious' beast broke through the defense line built five miles outside Chennan Pass, a team would immediately burst out from the city wall to fill the gap.
Only someone like Guan Zai, who represents the pinnacle of human capability, could complete such a massive amount of data calculation in an instant.
"Zuo Qing, how long until the reserve troops arrive!"
Hearing Guan Zai's voice, Zuo Qing, who was fighting the mysterious Klein realm on the sea, gently touched his ear and replied in a hoarse voice.
"A message came from the combat readiness department ten minutes ago that the earliest support troops to arrive are still half an hour's walk away, which is already the maximum speed of military transport planes!"
"No, we're too late!"
After a quick calculation, Guan Zai's brows furrowed instantly.
Ten minutes ago, the number of 'mysterious' beasts released by India suddenly doubled, and this unexpected change caused some lapses in the normally stable steel defense line.
Night Watchmen are, after all, human, and most of them are in the 'Sea' or 'Boundless' realm, so their spiritual power is indeed limited.
Even if their bodies can function normally, the mental energy needed to maintain the forbidden ruins will eventually run out.
The situation on the battlefield of miracles is still unclear, so Guan is unable to unleash his full power and engage in a fierce battle with those 'mysterious' beasts.
He could only try his best to maintain this crumbling steel defense line to prevent those powerful 'mysterious' forces from breaking through the pass and invading the territory of Great Xia.
"Zuo Qing, let me go!"
Upon realizing this, Guan Zai's gaze instantly hardened.
"As long as I don't touch those mystical things at the 'Klein' level, my mental strength should be enough to instantly kill those small fry below the 'Boundless' level!"
"No! Supporting the calculations has already consumed nearly half of your mental energy. If you force yourself to take action, and something else happens, we won't be able to hold on."
With another slash, Zuo Qing stared expressionlessly at the 'mysterious' corpse that had fallen into the deep sea, and said coldly.
"Those special teams should be arriving soon. With them here, we can hold out for a little longer!"
"But......."
"No buts! What we need now is a 'sky eye' that can strategize and plan ahead, not 'programmers' who can rewrite the code!"
"I understand."
Upon hearing this, Guan closed his eyes and sighed softly.
Zuo Qing is right; his role in this defensive battle is indeed irreplaceable.
Pulling his thoughts back, he wiped his hands together and continued to monitor the situation of the sea defense line.
........
Clang! !
After slashing down with his sword, Zuo Qing sheathed it. He surveyed the area around the border, his brow furrowed as he muttered to himself.
"Where is the problem...?"
He looked at the 'empty gate' formation base surrounded by layers of Hindu gods, and could vaguely see several enormous figures rhythmically swallowing and spitting out the already dead 'mysterious' corpses.
It seems... we need to find a way to kill all those female beasts, otherwise the city will surely fall and people will die if we keep fighting like this!
Just as he was lost in thought, several familiar voices came through his earpiece.
"Commander Zuo! [The Medium] requests to join the battle!"
"Commander Zuo! Phoenix requests permission to fight!"
"Commander Zuo! [Masked] requests to join the battle!"
Has it finally arrived?!
Hearing their voices, Zuo Qing finally breathed a sigh of relief.
If these three special teams weren't so far apart, the situation at Chennan Pass would be much better now.
"Connect to a special channel. The interrogation center will issue instructions to you. Remember, you must keep these disgusting things out of the defenses!"
"Roger that!"
After saying that, Zuo Qing transformed into a ball of azure flame and flew straight toward the battlefield of divine miracles in the sky.
"Master Jiang!"
Upon hearing Zuo Qing's voice, Jiang Ziya hurriedly wiped away the blood that had spilled from the corner of his mouth and withdrew from the battlefield in a flash.
"What are you doing here? We need you more than ever!"
"I have important news to report. Despite the ongoing battles, the catastrophic beast tide shows no signs of abating."
I suspect that beneath the 'empty gate' lies a mysterious beast capable of endless reproduction.
"The Celestial Venerable has just sent back a message that those are mythical behemoths cultivated by the Celestial Temple. They can absorb all the energy in the world and convert it into reproductive power."
Simply put, those 'mysteries' you killed will become nourishment for the mother beasts. If you don't deal with those mother beasts...
This catastrophic beast tide will never stop..."
So that's how it is...
After Jiang Ziya's voice fell, Zuo Qing felt a sense of powerlessness.
The only way to stop the beast tide is to kill the mother beasts.
but.......
Those mother beasts themselves possessed the strength of mythical behemoths.
In addition, several Egyptian gods were always guarding them, so even if they had to drag them, they could drag all the night watchmen stationed at Chennan Pass to their deaths.
They seem to be at a stalemate now...
"Zuo Qing... I know the pressure you're under, but the Great Xia God is also working hard. The current situation is beyond our control. We can only wait for the high-level power struggle to end before we know the final outcome."
"Until then... please hold on!"
"Cough cough......"
"Master Jiang!"
At this point, Jiang Ziya coughed up another mouthful of bright red blood. Just as Zuo Qing was about to step forward to help him up, he waved his hands repeatedly to indicate that he was fine.
"Go down, Chennan Pass... I'm entrusting it to you!"
.........
After returning to Chennan Pass, Zuo Qing looked at the 'mysterious' corpse that had sunk to the bottom of the sea and calmly pulled out a small black walkie-talkie from his inner pocket.
"Keep me in place, connect all the Night's Watchmen to their radio headsets."
"What happened?"
Inside the main control room, Guan frowned and spoke with some doubt.
"Do as I say..."
Sizzle sizzle~~!
"I am Zuo Qing, the Commander-in-Chief of the Great Xia Night Watch."
A moment later, after receiving a positive reply from Guan Zai, Zuo Qing, suspended in mid-air, pressed the call button with great determination.
Immediately afterwards, his slightly weary yet indomitable voice reached the ears of every night watchman stationed at Chennan Pass.
"...First of all, I want to say thank you all for your hard work. You have done what a Night's Watchman should do. On behalf of the millions of people living behind us, I thank you all!"
After a brief silence, Zuo Qing changed the subject and continued.
"Now, I will tell you what we are going to encounter next!"
"The Heavenly Temple that invaded Great Xia bred a batch of mother beasts that could infinitely reproduce 'mysterious' beasts by devouring energy."
"Casualties on the battlefield are equivalent to providing nutrients for the mother animal to reproduce."
"That is to say!"
"This war is unlikely to end anytime soon, at least until the gods of Great Xia purge the invading Hindu gods... We have no means to stop this war."
Upon hearing this, the Night's Watchmen fighting on the front lines all wore somber expressions.
The prolonged battle had nearly drained their already dwindling mental energy.
But they didn't stop wielding their straight knives; they just mechanically repeated the slashing motions.
Zuo Qing took a deep breath and firmly issued the final order.
"The only thing we can do is to stop those beasts who dare to invade the territory of our Great Xia outside Chennan Pass!"
"I, Zuo Qing, am entrusting this to you all!"
After saying that, he put the small walkie-talkie back into his inner pocket, drew his straight knife again, and charged into the boundless horde of beasts.
At the same time, Xia Simeng, who had just casually tossed a mysterious corpse of the 'Klein' realm into the sea, suddenly trembled in her hand, and several 'phoenix' flames swept out, burning the 'mysterious' corpse to ashes.
Seeing his captain deep in thought, Kong Shang rubbed his forehead and smiled helplessly.
"Granny Kong, if I burn them all, will the mother beasts no longer be able to absorb their energy?"
"Ah! You're right. As long as your phoenix flames can burn away all the energy floating in the air, there won't be any problem."
"I see... So you mean I went to all that trouble?"
Upon hearing this, Kong Shang's body trembled violently, and he shook his head repeatedly.
"I just think you could save that mental energy and use it to systematically kill 'Klein' realm mystics..."
"What does this mean?" Xia Simeng tilted her head, looking at Kong Shang's teasing face with a half-smile, and asked.
"Captain, think about it, aren't those mother beasts able to absorb the energy of the mysterious corpses?"
If we can control the pace at which the mother beast creates the 'mysterious' beasts, and create a time difference, wouldn't we be able to slow down the beast tide's advance in some way?
Upon hearing this, Xia Simeng's eyes lit up.
"Yes, it has to be you, Granny Kong! Let's do it this way!"
"Old Wang, Brother Bu, did you hear that?"
"heard it."
"Ah."
Having just finished slaying several mysterious 'Klein' level 'King Face' creatures, King Face and Bu Li replied almost simultaneously on the walkie-talkie.
"We will do as you say. We will slow down our offensive and try to keep them on the sea to buy time."
"only........"
"Just what?"
Hearing Bu Li's hesitant voice, the aged-looking King Mian couldn't help but ask.
"This is just a temporary measure. Although we are currently at the pinnacle of human capabilities, prolonged battles will gradually deplete our mental strength."
"If we really reach the point where we can't hold on any longer, I'm afraid..."
"That's not something we should be thinking about."
Before he could finish speaking, Wang Mian had already drawn the [Yi Yuan] and stepped onto the sea defense line.
"Didn't you notice? Director Li, Senior Sword Saint, and Commander Ye haven't shown up..."
"Perhaps they are the key to breaking the deadlock."
"Just as Commander Zuo said, what we need to do is to stop these beasts outside Chennan Pass before they arrive!"
