Age of Calamity in Swallowed Star

Chapter 78: Southwest War God Conference!

September 27th, 11:30 AM.

Southwest Fortress, Command Headquarters Conference Room.

A high-level meeting is underway.

"It has been confirmed that an Eight-Winged Serpent King, a high-level lord, has appeared in the Winged Serpent Rainforest, and many martial artists have been killed."

"At the same time, in the past few days, beast hordes led by four initial-level lords have been frantically invading the major defense lines of the Southwest Fortress and human shelters."

A middle-aged War God in his early forties stood in front of the conference table, looking solemnly at the War Gods present.

His solemn and sorrowful gaze swept over everyone in the conference room, and he said in a low voice:

"As of an hour ago, a total of 227,025 people have died or gone missing, of which a small half are Southwest Army soldiers and logistics personnel, and most are ordinary people in the shelters…"

After a pause, the middle-aged War God continued, "This Eight-Winged Serpent King is even more difficult to deal with than the highly poisonous magic toad we killed last year."

"In order to resist this beast tide, we dispatched four elite squads, but the effect was not good."

"One of them, in order to buy time for the artillery fire, did not hesitate to use the flesh of the entire squad as a defense line, forcibly blocking the beast horde for five minutes, and finally all died in battle…"

Everyone: “…”

As soon as this was said, the entire conference room was silent.

The sacrifice of 230,000 soldiers and civilians, and the annihilation of the elite squad… This loss is too great!

"They… are all good. Strictly follow the compensation standards to treat the martyrs' widows and families preferentially, and at the same time send rescue teams to the survivors…"

The number one leader of the Southwest Fortress, the intermediate War God Han Buyi, stopped abruptly in the middle of his sentence.

Thinking of the human shelters with corpses everywhere after the beast tide.

Where would there be any survivors?

He knew very well that the monsters around the Southwest Fortress were especially fierce and agile.

They could even dig out and devour people hiding underground.

At the thought of this, the middle-aged War God, who looked nine parts similar to Han Shuang, had a gloomy face that was almost dripping with water.

He placed his interlocked fingers on the table, and there was a faint hint of anger in his eyes.

The death of 230,000 soldiers and civilians made his chest churn and his heart uneasy.

At this moment, he couldn't wait to lead a team into the Winged Serpent Rainforest immediately.

However, as the number one leader of the Southwest region, Han Buyi

He is in charge of the Southwest Fortress and ten intermediate and primary fortresses, and hundreds of human shelters.

The safety of nearly 20 million people is almost entirely dependent on him alone.

His every decision concerns the lives of thousands of people.

“…” Han Buyi frowned, seemingly thinking about how to solve the problem.

"This is just the first thing."

At this time, the middle-aged man who served as the chief of staff of the Southwest Fortress reminded him and continued: "According to the information sent by the intelligence department as soon as possible,"

"In the areas around the Southwest Fortress, many lord monsters have left their territories and are heading towards the Lijiang Fortress."

"A great war has broken out between these lord monsters, and many shelters have been destroyed as a result…"

"The number of casualties is increasing dramatically. According to incomplete statistics, it has now exceeded 200,000…"

As soon as the voice fell, the conference room was silent.

A War God sitting next to him looked puzzled and asked, "Why are these lord monsters gathering towards Lijiang Fortress?"

"Could it be that there is something there that is attracting these lords?"

The chief of staff paused and sighed slightly: "Currently, the intelligence department does not have the most accurate information, and can only speculate that their destination is likely to be near the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain."

"Jade Dragon Snow Mountain!?"

Hearing this, several War Gods looked at each other with puzzled expressions.

Among them, one War God said softly: "Is there anything special about Jade Dragon Snow Mountain?"

"Except for the two high-level lord-level black-crowned golden eagles that窜out a few days ago, there is nothing else."

“…”

“…”

Han Buyi fell silent again.

The Southwest Fortress has a very special geographical location, bordering a large tropical rainforest.

This vast rainforest swamp contains no less than a hundred lord monsters!

Being attacked on all sides, the War Gods and martial power he can mobilize are really stretched.

But even so, he had to make a decision quickly.

After all, at this critical moment, innocent people may lose their lives to the mouths of monsters if they are delayed by a second.

"Now I order to relocate the personnel from all the shelters and fortresses along the way from Lijiang Fortress to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain to avoid further losses. As for the Winged Serpent Lord…"

"Leader Buyi, I apply to be transferred from Anning Fortress to the front line to defend against this Winged Serpent beast tide." The person speaking was Li Huwei, one of the two intermediate War Gods of the Southwest Fortress.

Wearing a black S-class combat uniform, his two-meter giant height made his speech give people a tiger-like feeling.

And he has another identity - the father of the advanced War General Li Dazhuang.

He looked at the middle-aged man in the main seat and said solemnly: "As long as seven days, no! As long as five days, I will definitely kill these two initial-level Winged Serpent Lords and destroy the beast horde, and return to Anning Fortress."

Han Buyi glanced at Li Huwei, but did not answer. His sword eyebrows were furrowed, and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.

"Huwei, I'm afraid you can't go to that Winged Serpent forbidden area. Anning Fortress is the hub to the eight primary fortresses in western Yunnan.

Recently, the highly poisonous magic spider swarm in the Boundary River is also ready to move, and there is a faint trend of invasion…

If you leave, I'm afraid no one can fight against the highly poisonous spider king who is about to be promoted to a high-level lord. I hope you will consider this matter carefully!"

An old man frowned, and a deep bitterness appeared on his dry, bark-like old face.

Knowing the sacrifice of more than 100,000 people, how could he not feel heartbroken?

However.

As one of the six War Gods of the Southwest Fortress, he had to consider the more living people.

An Anning Fortress, together with the surrounding human shelters, has a total of 1.6 million soldiers and civilians!!

The Southwest Fortress has too large jurisdiction, and the number of War Gods is really not enough.

The only two intermediate War Gods and four initial War Gods made the entire defense line leak everywhere.

"Why don't you let me go!"

A small War God sitting next to Li Huwei stood up and said after looking around: "The Yuxi Fortress where I am located has swept away the surrounding hundreds of kilometers of beast hordes after three large-scale counterattacks, and it is still very safe in the next three months. It is basically no problem for me to lead the support to other fortresses."

Including the chief of staff, the eyes of the remaining three War Gods all converged on this small man in S-class combat uniform.

Wu Di, the only two intermediate War Gods of the Southwest Fortress.

“…”

Hearing this, Han Buyi still did not answer.

Instead, he tapped the table lightly with his index finger, seemingly struggling.

"Why don't… we apply to Kyoto City for the help of Dark Night and other War Gods,

I heard that Shancheng recently won a battle, and they may be able to spare manpower to help us," a War God suggested.

"Shancheng City? Han Shuang… how is the situation over there?" Han Buyi asked.

"Xiao Shuang encountered a beast general tide over there and was rescued by a newly promoted War God."

The chief of staff looked at Han Buyi and said what he knew.

"Hmm!" The middle-aged man nodded, his expression slightly relaxed.

"The newly promoted War God is War God Lin Ye!"

"Okay, you immediately contact Ma Qingfeng in Kyoto and ask him to dispatch the War Gods who are relatively free recently to support here,

In addition, I personally invite the deputy head of the Dark Night Regiment, the Dragon King, and the military advisor Chen Xuan to be guests here.

"By the way, also invite Huang Shaoying to come together."

"As for Lin Ye, try to invite him. A War God martial artist with powerful mental power can cause extremely huge damage to the beast horde."

"Yes!" The chief of staff nodded.

The meeting ended quickly, and the remaining four War Gods all went to deploy troops to deal with the beast horde crisis that could appear at any time.

In the huge conference room.

Only the chief of staff and Han Buyi were left.

The chief of staff looked solemn and said word by word: "Polenaise, one of the nine major families of the HR Alliance, has contacted me and wants to conduct a transaction on monster materials with my Southwest Fortress."

"What's the reason?"

"My Southwest Fortress produces a large number of monster materials every year. The Polenaise family is willing to buy them at a high price or exchange them for valuable resources."

"Impossible!" Han Buyi directly refused.

He is the leader of the Great Xia military and will not do anything that harms national interests.

"In return, they are willing to send their own martial artists to assist in defending the fortresses and shelters, and half of the monsters killed belong to the Southwest Fortress."

"Are they so kind?" After a moment of silence, Han Buyi looked at his old comrade in arms suspiciously.

"The first Speaker of the HR Alliance will step down at the end of the year. Cassel-Polenaise, the head of the Polenaise family, wants to compete for the position of Speaker.

Luring the Southwest Fortress is also equivalent to establishing a connection with the Great Xia military. At that time, even if it is not a sure win, it can be regarded as having a big tree to rely on…"

After a moment of silence, the chief of staff leaned back in his chair and said this fact.

Han Buyi: “…”

"What a bunch of old foxes… but if they want to talk about things, they have to show sincerity. Just a phone message is not enough to make me, Han Buyi, agree to such a big deal."

"If you want to talk, let someone of weight from the Polenaise family come to talk, otherwise, no deal."

"In addition, inform Ma Qingfeng and Jia Yi about the HR Alliance Polenaise matter and see what their attitudes are!"

"Yes!" The chief of staff replied respectfully.
