Chapter 1428 Meeting “Medium” Again
Left Qing shook his head, “There aren’t many human ceiling experts to begin with, and I still have my duties as Commander-in-Chief. Now is not the time to rest.”
Left Qing gripped his knife handle firmly, saying nothing more as his figure transformed into a streak of green light, charging into the beast horde first!
Seeing this, Xia Simeng decisively said: “Let’s go too!”
The nine figures of the [Phoenix] team followed closely behind Left Qing into the beast horde. At the edge of the southern outer wall of Chennan Pass, a fierce battle erupted.
As Left Qing’s figure continuously flashed through the beast horde, his blade, now almost dyed dark red, left deep cuts on the divine beasts’ bodies. As he swung his final strike to behead a divine beast, a voice came through the communicator at his waist:
“This is Chennan Pass defense line 6! A group of Indian divine beasts that can control earth has broken through our firepower network and is heading toward the rear of Chennan Pass!”
Hearing this, Left Qing’s heart sank.
He immediately distanced himself from another divine beast, holding his knife in one hand while picking up the communicator with the other:
“How many?”
“About five divine beasts that can control earth, but they’re also bringing more than ten peak ‘Klein’-level yaksha monsters… They can burrow underground, and they move extremely fast. We can’t stop them!”
Left Qing’s expression immediately darkened.
Five divine beasts plus more than ten yakshas—this number was beyond what ordinary Nightwatchers or conventional weapons could handle. Even human ceiling experts would need at least two to deal with them… But at this critical moment, with Chennan Pass on the verge of being breached, where could they find spare manpower to pursue these incredibly fast divine beasts?
It’s worth noting that once Chennan Pass falls, what rushes toward the cities won’t be limited to just a few divine beasts.
“What lies in their path of advance?”
“About 400 kilometers beyond Chennan Pass is Jiangcheng City, with several county towns around it, totaling over 4 million in population! Further beyond are several second-tier major cities…”
Left Qing’s mind raced, “Immediately order all Nightwatcher teams stationed in southern Great Xia cities to head to Jiangcheng City and surrounding counties at maximum speed!”
“But Commander Left, those currently guarding cities within Great Xia are mostly newcomers who joined the Nightwatchers just a few years ago. Even if they gather in Jiangcheng City, they can’t stop these beast hordes! Moreover, given how fast these divine beasts move, they might not make it in time…”
“Do as I say!” Left Qing paused briefly, as if making some kind of resolution, “Additionally, I’ll give you an address shortly. It’s an island. Send someone to fire a signal flare toward that island, and then…”
“Shhhh shhhh shhhh…”
Before Left Qing could finish, the walkie-talkie in his hand began to crackle with interference!
His brows furrowed tightly.
“Why at this moment of all times…”
“Hello? Hello? Commander Left? Can you hear me?”
After a burst of static noise, a familiar voice came through from the other end of the communicator.
Left Qing froze in place.
…
One minute earlier.
Above the clouds, the Somersault Cloud swiftly passed over the southern cities of Great Xia. Lin Qiye and the others sat around Jiang Er, listening carefully to something.
“Chennan Pass south gate receiving four Nightwatcher reinforcement teams, now redirecting to various defense lines…”
“A two-headed bird has been shot down at the east inner wall! Ground combat personnel, watch out!”
“Three divine beasts have broken through Gate 1! Requesting support! Repeat! Requesting support!”
“…This is Chennan Pass defense line 6! A group of Indian divine beasts that can control earth has broken through our firepower network and is heading toward the rear of Chennan Pass!”
“How many?”
“About five divine beasts that can control earth, but they’re also bringing…”
“…”
As these communications came through the Bluetooth speaker, Lin Qiye and the others frowned, their expressions growing increasingly grave.
“That’s Commander Left’s voice!” Baili Pangpang exclaimed upon hearing the last few sentences.
“…Jiangcheng City?” An Qingyu recalled the map of Great Xia in his mind, “That seems not far from our current position…”
“How long would it take to get there from here?”
“At our current speed, two minutes at most.”
Lin Qiye’s eyes flickered with light, “Two minutes… should be faster than those divine beasts.”
“But aren’t there five divine beasts plus more than ten peak ‘Klein’-level yakshas?” Cao Yuan frowned deeply, “Even if we go there, can we hold them off?”
“Under normal circumstances, we couldn’t,” Lin Qiye raised his wrist, where a thumb-sized golden dragon slowly coiled around it, his eyes narrowing, “But now, with Great Xia’s national fortune protecting us… we should be able to.”
“Then what are we waiting for?” Baili Pangpang immediately stood up, rubbing his hands together, “Let’s crush them!”
“Jiang Er, can you connect to Commander Left’s communication device?” Lin Qiye pondered for a moment, then asked.
“Yes.”
Jiang Er raised her fingertip, rapidly disturbing the surrounding magnetic field, then nodded at Lin Qiye.
Lin Qiye took a deep breath, “Hello? Hello? Commander Left? Can you hear me?”
Left Qing on the other end of the communicator was stunned for a moment before responding with surprise, “Lin Qiye?! How is it you?”
“It’s a long story,” Lin Qiye got straight to the point, “Leave Jiangcheng City to us. We’re in the vicinity right now.”
“You’ve left the island?” Left Qing seemed to realize something, “Is this the Marquis’s intention?”
“…Something like that.”
Left Qing paused briefly, not pursuing the matter further—now wasn’t the time for that. “The beast horde heading to Jiangcheng City has five…”
“Five divine beasts that can control earth,” Lin Qiye said directly. “Don’t worry, Commander Left, we can handle it.”
“Really? Lives are at stake, are you…” Left Qing’s tone was still concerned.
“Really,” Lin Qiye replied firmly.
After a moment of silence, Left Qing finally said: “…Alright, be careful. If you find the situation beyond your capabilities, contact me immediately.”
“Yes, sir.”
Lin Qiye had Jiang Er put away the speaker, nodded to everyone, and immediately propelled the Somersault Cloud at full speed toward Jiangcheng City!
The howling wind rushed past their ears. Moments later, a series of black dots suddenly appeared in everyone’s field of vision.
“What’s that?” Cao Yuan narrowed his eyes, “Are the divine beasts here so quickly?”
“…No, those aren’t divine beasts. They look like people,” An Qingyu shook his head.
Lin Qiye extended his spiritual power, scanning the eight figures gradually approaching, and froze in place.
“It’s [Medium]?”
