My Monster Fuses Everything

Chapter 419: Chapter 318 Heading to Wushan_2
 

“`

About three hours later, the Blood-Erosion Alligator Dragon arrived over Wushan City, its altitude gradually descending, and the mist also began to dissipate slowly under the illumination of the Lamp Tree Crystals emitting from the ground.

Wushan City came into Su Han’s view, not brightly lit across the entire city. The deployment of Lamp Tree Crystals was concentrated at the city’s outer perimeter belt and within parks and forested areas inside the city.

The former was defensive fortification: from a distance, one could see a heavy military presence, with rows of artillery and machine guns neatly arranged.

A bit further out was the ring of agricultural land around the city, where many green crops and working people could still be seen under the illumination.

Apart from the major parks and plantation areas in the city, only key intersections and buildings had Lamp Tree Crystals positioned, and although their light also dispelled much of the mist, most of the city was still shrouded in a thin layer of haze, adding a sense of oppression.

The Blood-Erosion Alligator Dragon descended rapidly, its wings flapping and creating huge waves of wind, yet it did not cause too much of a disturbance.

In the square, General Qin Henghu and his officers had been waiting for a while, and despite having been forewarned, they were still inevitably stunned by the massive bulk of the Blood-Erosion Alligator Dragon.

Though Yang Chaojian had informed them in advance, the sight of such a colossal creature still unavoidably evoked a sense of shock. Had it not been mentioned beforehand, missiles might have already been drawn for a fight.

Su Han and his people disembarked from the back of the Blood-Erosion Alligator Dragon, and with a flash of red light from the Book of Blood Spirit, the enormous Blood-Erosion Alligator Dragon was retracted, easing the tension at the scene.

Su Han’s gaze swept over the group, with Qin Henghu leading the way, accompanied by an elderly man in a white coat, and further back were military men and women of varying ages, a total of seven individuals, all with Third Order strength.

“General Qin, sorry to have kept you waiting,” Su Han greeted, to which Qin Henghu responded steadily, “It is we who have troubled you, please come with me.”

After exchanging a few pleasantries and introducing the people beside them, they proceeded to the office area.

Bai Qiuwen and Zhong Tian were old acquaintances. Although they were not close friends, they had met at various seminars, so naturally, it was Zhong Tian who took charge of entertaining Bai Qiuwen.

Yan Meiyu was personally attended to by Zhou Wentao, while Zhao Yaqian, as Su Han’s guard, stuck close by his side.

The group entered the meeting room, and their conversation along the way had already given Su Han a good understanding of the Southwest Military Preparedness Force.

General Qin Henghu had decisively taken control of Wushan City at the beginning, sweeping away the monsters that had not yet had the chance to grow stronger, saving a population of millions. Later came Tang City and Sanjiang City, with the three cities supporting each other like horns of a triangle, and by now they had a base of over two million people.

Training old soldiers, expanding new troops, strengthening research, guiding cultivation, with such a large population base, the Contractors’ strength remained at a certain level.

The several officers who came along were the mainstays left behind in Wushan City, most holding battalion or regimental positions, and among them were also two officers who had risen from the ranks of ordinary civilians.

In terms of overall strength, there were no fewer than 30 to 40 Third Order forces in just Wushan City, Sanjiang City, and Tang City combined—their strength was formidable.

Although the Tree Domain occupied two cities, it had far fewer people and relied on resources to make up for its shortcomings.

Now even though the Third Order had not been fully counted yet, including Zhu Xiong and others in the second echelon, and Zhao Yimin and others in the third echelon, there were probably more than twenty, slightly fewer than the Armed Forces.

However, relying on subsequent resources, even if Su Han had fewer people, the number of emerging High Order Contractors would only increase, overtaking the Southwest Military Preparedness Force on the bend.

“First, we will deal with the Black Sturgeon Beast in Sanjiang City, and then we can handle the rest,” Su Han got straight to the point as everyone settled down.

“Thank you for your efforts,” General Qin Henghu’s steady voice came, “Yesterday, the Black Sturgeon Beast, already bearing light injuries, launched three more attacks, led by the scarlet No. 2 Black Sturgeon Beast. It was repelled by Zhang Wenchuan, Regiment 145, New Recruits 2nd Regiment, and the remnants of Regiment 81. Thirteen mechas with spiritual energy exoskeletons were lost, 45 tanks, and seven Third Order were seriously injured.”

“Attacks so frequent?”

Su Han’s expression became grave. With the 117th Regiment’s allocation, there would be at least three to four Third Order in a regiment. So many Third Order working together and still under constant attack did not seem like the behavior of any Evolved Kind.

“We also don’t know the reason. When there was only the No. 1 Black Sturgeon Beast, it would only drive an attack once every three to four days, or even half a month, and it was mostly to occupy the entire waters. Now the red one is clearly targeting the dam; we can only conclude the newcomer has bad intentions.”

“And the power assessment?”

“`

“They’re both Fourth Rank Lower Class, but the No. 2 dark red Black Sturgeon Beast is even more ferocious. Its main abilities are divided into three categories: Water Wave Control, Water Layer Shield, and Water Vortex Projectile—all related to water. There should be other abilities too. Its combat strength in the water is much stronger than that of an average Fourth Grade by a good margin.”

Photos, videos, analysis from the research center; Qin Henghu had prepared all the information. He had almost everything ready from the first sighting to the subsequent confrontations, along with the analysis.

The attitude of the Southwest Military Preparedness Force was very clear. They asked for help, not to shift the blame, so all useful information had to be ready. They couldn’t afford to shortchange their helpers in this.

Qin Henghu continued, “As long as we force them out of the Sanjiang Waters, or away from the Sanjiang Dam, we can use a nuclear strike to eliminate them.”

“No need.”

Su Han interrupted Qin Henghu, “General Qin, how about you and I go there directly? If all goes well, we should be able to return tonight.”

Qin Henghu was momentarily stunned, almost thinking he had heard wrong: “Lord Su, are you planning to strike directly?”

“Hmm.”

Su Han nodded, “The night is long, and filled with terrors. Since this beast attacks so frequently, it may be even more dangerous to wait until nightfall. Moreover, we have already lost many warriors.”

Of course, Qin Henghu wanted to resolve the situation quickly, but what if they acted rashly without preparation and Su Han suffered for it?

However, seeing Su Han’s confidence, he found himself at a loss to dissuade him and nodded, “I’ll accompany you for a look. It’s better to discuss the battle environment there, and we can talk about any issues on-site.”

He was after all a mature and prudent man. His words left ample room for Su Han to reconsider. And as he said, discussing there was part of the defense. If there was another attack, with Su Han there to hold the line, even if they might not kill the Black Sturgeon Beast, they could drive it off.

“Wen Tao, you’ll be in charge of Wushan City while I’m away.”

After making the arrangements, Su Han left Bai Qiuwen and the other two in Wushan City.

As the two men left the office building, Su Han called forth the Blood-Erosion Alligator Dragon, mounted its back, and soared into the sky.

Watching the Blood-Erosion Alligator Dragon disappear into the clouds and mist, the people below wore various expressions. Some envied its formidable Fourth Grade strength, while others doubted, wondering what would happen if the beast couldn’t be killed in such a brash attack.@@novelbin@@

It’s known that the Black Sturgeon Beast is like a fish in water while in its element; it can flee if it can’t fight. If they startled the beast, defending the Sanjiang Dam might become troublesome.

Of course, while they held doubts, no one would challenge openly. They were merely concerned about the success of the operation, not questioning the person. They wouldn’t jeopardize the cooperation between the two forces.

To be able to offer help in the apocalypse and rise from an ordinary citizen to build such a large force, that couldn’t be an ordinary person.

Sanjiang was just a hundred kilometers from Wushan, upriver; more distinct than any highway as a beacon. Therefore, the Blood-Erosion Alligator Dragon didn’t slow down, skimming over the water surface.

They travelled as swift as lightning, and soon Su Han and Qin Henghu could see Sanjiang City, cut through by the river waters.

“Woo!”

The air raid siren sounded, and the 81st Regiment stationed in the main city went on high alert, turning the anti-aircraft guns around.

This time, they hadn’t received a warning from a spiritual sense user, so from their point of view, it was a monster invasion.

Qin Henghu stood up straight and with a powerful voice called out, “I am Qin Henghu. Cancel the alarm, and send Liu Wenchuan over.”

The name Qin Henghu gave the troops below a momentary pause, and while the blank shots didn’t fire for real, the alarm wasn’t canceled just yet.

The Blood-Erosion Alligator Dragon landed slowly on the street under the watchful eyes of the alert troops, who quickly surrounded the area.

Qin Henghu wasn’t angry when he saw this but rather very calm. Being able to stop them from firing with his name was good enough. As for canceling the alarm, that was the responsibility of the direct superior officer.

“Cancel the alarm!”

A loud voice rang out as a military-clad man rapidly approached. His strides were wide, and his slightly faltering form suggested something amiss. On closer inspection, one arm had nothing but a tied-up sleeve dangling empty.

“Ma Yilin, what the hell are you doing here? Didn’t I tell you to rest?”
