Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“We… we really won. We won! The border town was saved!”
“I survived? I survived!”
“Who saved me? It was Fang Yuan, student Fang Yuan. Thank you, thank you so much. You are my benefactor!”
“Long live Fang Yuan! Long live my benefactor!”
Those who had fallen at the front of the battlefield and those who were retreating to the back, all of them surrounded the center of the battlefield.
They surrounded Fang Yuan tightly.
The reinforcements brought by Instructor He Liwei had just arrived.
Seeing the flames of war flying, they thought that they were all wiped out, but they heard the continuous cheers of victory!
“What? It was Fang Yuan who saved all of you? ”
“That’s right! That’s right!”
Soon, Instructor He Liwei understood the whole situation.
He took a deep breath and found it hard to believe that Fang Yuan could defeat all five hundred demonized mad cattle by himself!
It was so terrifying!
He Liwei looked around and asked the wounded and the onlookers, “So, how did this kid Fang Yuan do it?”
“He summoned a mountain!”
“What? A mountain!”
“That’s right, it’s a majestic pet beast as high as a mountain. The moment it appeared, it suppressed all the mad cattle!”
“No! That’s not a mountain, it’s a big iron ball that could roll around!”
“All the mad cattle were wiped out by it.”
“Yeah! It’s so powerful! I’ve never seen such a powerful pet beast! It’s like a G.o.d!”
He Liwei was stunned. He even suspected that these people had not woken up from the fear of the battlefield!
Why were they talking in their sleep?
One moment it was a mountain, one moment it was an iron ball, and another it was G.o.d.
It was ridiculous!
It was better to look out for Fang Yuan and ask him personally.
“Alright, alright, let’s not talk about this for now. All the injured people, bring them to the field hospital for treatment. Those who are seriously injured, go to the operating table first!”
He Liwei gave the order, “Also, where is Fang Yuan? where is he?”
“Oh right. Fang Yuan, everyone please look for Fang Yuan!”
“Uh, it seems he has left the military camp just now.”
“He has left?!”
…
Early in the morning, the sun had already risen.
Eastern Warzone, Military Region Headquarters.
A white-haired old man who was hale and hearty was seated in the head seat with a serious expression.
Behind him was a strategic map of the Eastern Warzone.
The old man’s name was Chu Xiuyao, the commander of the Eastern Warzone. His old arms were muscular, and even though he was in a high position, he was getting older. He was still like an ordinary soldier, maintaining high-intensity physical training.
There was no one in the entire army who was not convinced by him.
Chu Xiuyao’s finger pointed at the location of the border town on the map.
The moment the signal flare of the border town was lit, the headquarters received the news that the city wall had fallen.
Sitting beside him, a man and a woman were frowning.
The male staff officer, Xu Youjing, said, “Commander Chu!”! The current situation was very bad. The border town had been invaded by monsters, and they had broken through from the inside. The symptoms of demonization were contagious. It was only a matter of time before the whole town fell. We should give up on the border town with a smaller population now. We should mobilize all our forces to protect Chuxin City. To protect the lives and safety of the 600,000 people on the city line!”
The female staff officer Zhang Wanyue said, “No! The 600,000 people in Chuxin City are ordinary people, but aren’t the 60,000 people in the border town ordinary people as well? The border town is the camp for the third year high school students’ freshman military training. They are the hope of the future! Save the Children!”
“We lose more than we gain and it’s not worthy. If we rush to rescue them now, we will only put our reinforcements in a difficult situation. Our military strength is not endless. Every soldier is used on the blade. We must let them bring out the greatest value!”
“Since we have already received the news at the first moment, we should seize the opportunity to resolve the urgent situation in border town before the situation reaches the worst stage!”
“Zhang Wanyue, you are too kind!”
“Xu Youjing, you are cold and heartless!”
The differences between the staff officers also represented the differences in the entire army.
After learning of the crisis in the border town, everyone’s att.i.tude was divided into two factions. One faction was represented by Xu Youjing, who hoped that all the troops would gather at one place to defend the safety of Chuxin City. The other faction was represented by Zhang Wanyue, who requested to save the border town.
“Enough!”
Chu Xiuyao’s hand slammed heavily on the table, and the two staff officers around him instantly quieted down.
“First, ensure that the communication with the border town is smooth. The army will move toward Chuxin City. Among them, a small team will send scouts to the border town to confirm the situation. If there is a chance to save them, we will do our best to save them!”
“Yes!”
Just as Chu Xiuyao decided on his strategy. A long sound came from outside the tent, “Report –”
“Who is it?”
“Border town military training instructor, He Liwei.”
“Quick! Report him in!”
Instructor He Liwei came into the tent and was shocked by the people standing around him.
Usually, the staff officers of the headquarters were already high and mighty figures.
Now that everyone in the army, including Chu Xiuyao himself, was overseeing the army, the atmosphere was extremely tense.
“Comrade He! Please report in detail the current situation of the border town, the number of casualties, and the possibility of rescue!”
Chu Xiuyao stood up and walked straight to He Liwei’s side.
He was obviously very concerned.
The border town was not only the most important place to defend the border, it was also the granary and pasture of the nearby cities.
At the same time, it also took on the role of a satellite city of Chuxin City.
Many important industries were also shifted to that side. If they fell into the hands of the monsters, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Even a tough man like He Liwei was shocked by this scene.
He even bit his tongue nervously. “Report, report to Commander Chu.”
“The siege of the border town has… been lifted.”
“What?”
The entire camp was in an uproar. The two staff officers even stood up.
What kind of joke was this?
Just now, everyone was discussing whether the border town should bear with the pain and give up. Now, you’re telling me that the situation had been resolved?
It was Chu Xiuyao who quickly calmed himself down. He frowned and asked, “Tell me, what happened?”
He Liwei naturally did not dare to hide the truth.
He told him the whole story, including what the crowd told him when he went to the rescue.
“You mean to say that he fought against more than 500 demonized mad cattle alone and saved the 60,000 people of border town?”
After Chu Xiuyao heard it, he pondered for a long time. He took a sip of the tea on the table and slowly said, “He’s just a student who just advanced to grade three?”
