Age of Calamity in Swallowed Star

Chapter 47: Blood and Fire!

It was eleven o'clock at night.

In the wilderness, the moon was bright, and the stars were few.

Lu Chen sat on the cold ground, gritting his teeth as he treated his wounds.

Not far in front of him, the corpses of monsters, each like a small mountain, were constantly bleeding, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.

They died tragically, in various forms, including wolves, rats, ants, centipedes… from different monster groups.

“Li, what was that, the number of the wave of beasts just now?”

He glanced at the mountain of corpses and turned to look at one of the men who was applying medicine to the wound on his chest, asking.

“Including the Fire Scale Three-Halberd Boar in the first wave, the Silver Moon Giant Wolf in the second wave, the Black Tooth Rat General in the third wave, the Bloodthirsty Demon Ants in the fourth wave, and the Burrowing Centipede just now… we have repelled the charge of the beast generals five times in a row.”

Hearing this, the man stopped what he was doing, looked up and replied:

“In total, we probably killed twenty-seven high-level beast generals, more than fifty mid-level beast generals, and more than one hundred low-level beast generals.”

After a young-looking man answered with difficulty, he continued to bandage his wounds.

After experiencing five waves of beast general charges in a row, the twenty-nine members of the Dragon Breath Squad were all covered with a large number of wounds.

Many of them tore through their combat uniforms, pointing directly at vital points, just a hair's breadth away from being fatal.

And the main reason for these serious injuries was the last two waves of beast tides.

When fighting the monsters to the death, no matter how serious the injury, they would not care.

After repelling the charge of the beast general group, they almost lost all their strength in the pain.

The scarlet color spread on the ground, showing the tragic nature of the previous battles.

Even the strongest captain, Lu Chen, and the two deputy captains, Qin Luo and Wang Teng, were "treated" favorably by the high-level beast generals and suffered serious injuries.

“Captain, these waves of monster attacks are too strange. The frequency of their appearance is getting higher and higher. It’s too dangerous for us to continue guarding here!”

A strong man with bandages all over his body came to Lu Chen with staggering steps. In this dangerous wilderness, even if he was covered in injuries, he would not allow himself to rest.

Because the danger has not been eliminated at all.

What they had just repelled was just a tentative attack by the vanguard beast generals of the beast tide.

The real war is yet to come.

“Wave after wave of beast general groups, is there no end to this, damn beasts!”

Li punched the ground, spitting out a muffled breath: “Also, these monsters smell the aura of high-level martial artists' flesh and blood, just like red-eyed hungry wolves,

If this continues, the situation of our Dragon Breath Squad will not be good!”

Everyone: “……”

Seemingly accustomed to Li's nagging, everyone still bandaged their wounds, ate and drank to recover their strength, and prepared for the next battle.

“Captain, cheer up!”

Wang Teng came to Lu Chen and sat down, took out a crumpled pack of Huazi cigarettes from his blood-soaked pocket, and handed one to the latter.

“Thanks.” Lu Chen took the cigarette and started smoking.

Wang Teng also lit one for himself.

Exhaling a smoke ring, Wang Teng looked at the corpses of the beast generals, each the size of a small mountain, and said with a strange expression: “Captain, don’t you think this beast tide is a bit strange?”

Lu Chen: “How do you mean?”

“These beasts seem to be organized, charging up wave after wave, not giving us a chance to breathe at all… like a war of attrition, constantly consuming our strength!”

“Is there an ulterior motive?”

Hearing this, Lu Chen raised his head and looked into the distance, his brows furrowed, and a sense of crisis arose from the bottom of his heart.

Tonight's battle was particularly difficult, a hell mode they had never encountered before.

After Wang Teng said this, the other team members were awakened and looked at Captain Lu Chen.

The wave after wave of beast generals just now clearly had their own order.

Obviously, high-level beast generals did not have such control, because there were also high-level beast generals of considerable size in the charging beast general group.

But… if there are monsters with such intelligence and leadership, then only lord-level monsters remain.

“But their vanguard has already been scared out of their wits by us, I don’t think they will act rashly in a short time!” Wang Teng added.

Lu Chen turned his head and glanced at the three lines of defense not far behind him.

That was the position of the Owl Wolf Regiment.

The wilderness was silent, and an increasingly uneasy feeling lingered in Lu Chen's heart.

He recalled the tragedy of the Blade Team and the abnormality of this area that God of War Xu Yong had personally told him, and told him to be very careful of lord monsters.

“Just in case, I will now call the headquarters for support. There may be more than one lord monster observing in the dark here!”

As Lu Chen's eyes swept over the corpses of these beast generals, his expression became solemn… at least four lord monsters!!

Without the slightest hesitation, he directly cut into the Nanan Fortress command channel:

“Dragon Breath Lu Chen reports to the headquarters that suspected lord monsters have appeared in the 1167 area of Jinyun Mountain.”

With the strength and military rank of the Dragon Breath captain, he could directly contact the headquarters and report emergency military information.

Lin Ye also had this kind of power.

“Headquarters received, investigate immediately, and start arranging!”

The military was extremely efficient, and orders were quickly issued from the Mountain City headquarters to the defensive areas around the Owl Wolf Regiment, gathering the surrounding martial artist forces as much as possible.

And the martial artists closest to the Owl Wolf Regiment were Lin Ye's Sky High Squad, one hundred kilometers away.

1167 area.

Wang Teng gritted his teeth and said with a resolute spirit: “Captain, why don’t we contact Regiment Commander Jia Wangqiang and ask them to send heavy firepower to cover us. As long as we repel another wave of beast generals, just one wave!!”

“As long as we have a chance to rest, we can kill two more waves of beast generals. If we really can’t kill them… isn’t there still the Divine Seal?”

Wang Teng's blood-stained face was full of smiles. He glanced at the Embers Medal on his chest, his eyes full of open-mindedness.

Lu Chen: “……”

He did not answer, silently weighing the pros and cons.

If strategic support is used now, it may soon trigger a large-scale beast tide.

And their new batch of ammunition and supplies is still in transit… now is not the time.

Retracting his gaze, Lu Chen looked at the dark wilderness, his eyes a little dim:

“Okay, contact Regiment Commander Jia and ask them to keep all weapons ready… to deal with any variables that may appear at any time!”

“Where there are lord monsters, it is destined not to be peaceful!” A trace of sternness flashed in Lu Chen's eyes.

When the news of suspected lord monsters was transmitted to the headquarters, not long after, in the distant wilderness, another shadow quickly gathered and approached——

The sixth wave of beast general attacks is coming!

“Captain, these beasts are here again!” Li looked into the distance, gritting his teeth.

Lu Chen slowly stood up, drew the spear beside him, and glanced at the partners who had come out of the mountain of corpses and sea of blood together.

Their wrists were sprained and they had different degrees of injuries, but their eyes were so determined, without a trace of fear or shrinking: “Very good, let us fight these monsters again and decide the victory or defeat, life or death!”

Lu Chen took a step forward, and the spear reflected a dull black cold light in the night.

The other team members followed closely behind, each in a team of four, forming a battle formation.

“Dragon Breath!”

“Fight!”x28

When they took the first step, what they carried in their hearts was the belief that they would die.

They exist to protect Great Xia, and if the monsters want to attack the rear defense line and shelters, they will fight to the death.

……

“Depart at full speed and rush to support the Owl Wolf Regiment!”

After receiving the order, Qi Ling gave the order immediately.

“Yes!” The Sky High Squad said in unison, and then accelerated their march.

……

At the same time.

On a small hill more than 170 kilometers away from the Owl Wolf Regiment.

The Long Saber Squad, which was dissecting monster materials, also received a request for help. All seventeen members of the team immediately abandoned all their spoils and directly activated the full-speed marching mode.

One side is in trouble, and all sides support.

Only by sticking together like this can humans survive in this dark age where monsters are rampant!
