Age of Calamity in Swallowed Star

Chapter 123: The Meaning of Protection!

That day, at twelve noon.

After having lunch with Thor and I斯特, Lin Ye parted ways with them.

Taking advantage of this trip to Daxia, Thor was going to Kyoto to meet some old friends and spar with swords.

Meanwhile, I斯特, the former world's number one mental power master, planned to go to Mountain City to see this legendary magical 3D city.

At the same time, he also wanted to feel what was so special about this place that had nurtured a freak martial artist like Lin Ye.

After watching the sky-blue fighter jet and the golden fighter jet take off,

Lin Ye and Li Huwei came to the city wall of Anning Fortress.

The two stood side by side, looking at the battlefield in the distance.

The monster wave's attack had come to an end, but the impact and pain it brought were far from over.

Treating the wounded.

Counting the casualties.

Cleaning up the monster corpses, dissecting monster materials.

Reconstructing fortifications, reinforcing the fortress walls, replenishing ammunition, and comforting survivors who had lost loved ones…

One by one, the aftermath matters were being carried out in an orderly manner under the arrangement of the Anning Fortress administrators.

People seemed to be well-versed in these procedures.

Because such things had happened too many times.

In the early days of the Great Cataclysm, humanity spared no effort in defending against the monster waves.

However, to comprehensively reinforce the fortress walls to the extent that they could defend against Lord-level monsters.

In this era of resource scarcity, it was tantamount to reaching for the stars, and it was simply impossible to do.

Therefore, all fortresses could only settle for the next best thing, using all hard alloys and reinforced concrete together to increase their strength as much as possible.

In the southwest, where ground monsters easily gather in groups, a single monster wave could bring a devastating blow to human bases.

Especially the rat and ant tides.

The two reproduce extremely quickly, constantly threatening human bases.

"We have to find a way to launch a large-scale battle to clear the monsters around the southwest fortress!"

Lin Ye's eyes became deep, and his whole body exuded a cold, icy aura.

Beside him.

Li Huwei remained silent, not daring to say anything, quietly looking into the distance.

Combining the previous monster distribution, Lin Ye already had a plan in mind.

However, the premise for starting this action was to eliminate the threats to the major fortresses one by one.

Looking up.

In sight, ordinary men were following the soldiers, cleaning the battlefield.

The battlefield after the monster wave receded was full of broken limbs and huge pits.

Transportation vehicles could not reach many places at all, and they could only rely on manpower to slowly transport the monster materials.

These men carried them on their shoulders and backs, and although their faces and bodies were covered with monster blood, no one cared.

Almost everyone's face showed a smile of relief.

In this way, they transported the monster materials bit by bit, piece by piece, to places where military vehicles could travel.

Then they returned to continue carrying… repeating this over and over again.

Suddenly, Lin Ye's eyes froze.

Not far to the left.

A team of about three hundred teenagers, aged roughly between ten and seventeen or eighteen, ran out of the fortress.

Then, led by a team of soldiers, they quickly entered the battlefield.

They were doing the same job of transporting monster materials.

These passionate and radiant smiling faces couldn't help but infect Lin Ye, warming his heart.

What simple and kind people!

This is precisely why martial artists and warriors choose to guard the fortress to the death!

"After the monster wave crisis gradually eases, Daxia should reopen education."

Looking at the busy figures, Lin Ye couldn't help but say.

"Education… learning…"

Hearing this, a trace of bitterness appeared on Li Huwei's face.

He knew what this third commander of Daxia was talking about.

However, the reality was that a clever woman cannot cook without rice.

The ferocious monsters and cruel reality tore and trampled on his ideals.

According to incomplete statistics, in the four years since the outbreak of the Great Cataclysm.

At least one hundred and thirty small and medium-sized fortresses and thousands of shelters across Daxia were flooded by monster waves.

Hundreds of millions of survivors were turned into piles of white bones, corpses strewn across the fields.

However, even more terrifying than the land-based monster waves were the monster waves formed by marine monsters.

Each time a marine monster wave broke out, it could bring about the destruction of many human bases in coastal areas.

The destruction of New York was the most brutal example!

Under the impact of endless marine monsters, any defense and firepower seemed too pale and powerless.

Even the United States, the world's number one technological power, was still powerless and could only watch it fall.

Before the threat of monsters was resolved, talking about education was meaningless.

Thinking of this, Li Huwei looked at Lin Ye with a complicated expression and said, word by word: "Commander Lin, when have we not thought about the education problem."

"It's just that… the country is currently struggling to cope with the monsters and has no spare capacity to carry out the reconstruction of the economy and culture."

"The military and the government can quickly establish many shelters and fortresses, and maintaining basic order is already all that the entire Daxia can do."

"And culture, education, politics, economy… these must be put on hold when the country and the nation face life and death."

Hearing this.

Although Lin Ye didn't speak, he had already agreed in his heart.

"Even if we want to restore the basic operation of the country and restart education, we have to win several major battles in a row and have a basic foundation before we can implement it."

"Otherwise, everything is just castles in the air…"

After speaking, Li Huwei sighed deeply.

Lin Ye also had a solemn look in his eyes.

Now facing the heavy threat of monsters, Daxia is basically in a state of stagnation.

In the four years since the disaster, the wars to resist monster waves have consumed too much of the country's resources, manpower, and financial resources.

It can be regarded as the entire country's strength to start a war of attrition with the monster groups!

The result of this is that Daxia has made no progress in other aspects, and is even regressing.

"Yes, we must win a few major battles and beat the monster waves until they are hurt! Until they are afraid!"

"Only then will we have time for national reconstruction, otherwise, it's useless to say more."

After speaking, the sadness in Lin Ye's eyes flashed away.

What replaced it was an unwavering look of determination and burgeoning fighting spirit.

"I believe this day will come soon! I also believe that Daxia will get better and better under the leadership of Commander Lin and you!!"

Seemingly infected by the young God of War's emotions, Li Huwei took a deep breath and said solemnly.

"Yeah!" Lin Ye nodded.

Looking at the soldiers and ordinary people who were as busy as bees in the distance, a gratified smile appeared on his face.

"Although the monster disaster constantly threatens us, it will only make our Daxia more united."

Looking at the rising sun, Lin Ye jumped directly down and flew away into the distance.

At the same time, his voice came from mid-air: "You wait for me here, I'll be right back!"

"…"
