My Monster Fuses Everything

Chapter 589: Chapter 393 The Great Battle is Imminent

Su Han shuttled through space, directly arriving at the command center of South City.

Yan Meiyu, Zhu Xiong, Gan Xinglei, and Bai Qilan were already waiting there; at the same time as Su Han received the message, they also got the news from Liu Rulong through the Star Torch Network.

“What’s the latest movement at the East Sea base?”

“We just received detailed intelligence, Zhou Xichao led the Pioneer Troops in a failed surprise attack on Guanhai City, suffering mass casualties with an overwhelming assault by numerous Fishmen and Sea Beasts. More than half were lost, and nearly ninety percent of the Bug Quality vanguard. The Fishmen and Sea Beasts have suddenly gone into a frenzy, surrounding the defensive lines at East Sea, Fumen, and Jiankang, outnumbering the previous forces, and the situation is grave.”

Zhu Xiong also looked worried. An attack of this scale would result in unimaginable casualties, and if the East Sea base fell, it was feared that a massive number of Sea Beasts and Fishmen would flood the rear areas, heading straight for the Tree Domain.

“Negotiations?”

...

“The Fishmen have sent a message; they are surrounding us but not attacking. There are suspicions that a Fifth-Order Fishman is delivering the message, wanting to negotiate with humanity.”

“Old Gan, gather the Pioneer Troops and the City Defense Forces to depart for Mingshan City, ready to support the East Sea base at any time. Old Zhu, you and I will go to the East Sea base first to see the specific situation with General Liu.”

Su Han’s voice paused slightly, then he solemnly added, “All departments must be ready to support East Sea base at any time, including the infrastructure and medical teams must be ready to accompany the army. General Liu is likely pushed to the brink this time.”

Liu Rulong’s character wouldn’t easily send multiple requests for aid to the Tree Domain, especially not to Su Han.

Because he couldn’t let minor issues delay Su Han’s strengthening, Su Han, in his view, was humanity’s hope, the pillar of their race.

Even last time, the assistance he requested was only on the level of Zhu Xiong.

He certainly knew that if Su Han made a move, it would take nothing more than a mere gesture to defeat Fourth Order Superiors, yet he still only sought Zhu Xiong’s help.

Now, the direct plea for assistance to Su Han clearly indicated that the crisis was beyond his ability to handle.

After a brief meeting, Su Han and Zhu Xiong headed straight for the Bug Quality Rift and arrived at the East Sea base by passing through it.

“Lord Su, Captain Zhu, please follow me.”

The guard Zhou Xichao, despite still dressed in military attire, was visibly bandaged across half his body, with his Spiritual Energy and aura showing instability, indicating he was severely injured.

“Is the situation this serious?”

Zhu Xiong couldn’t help but ask, and Zhou Xichao responded with a solemn face, “There are no fewer than two to three million Fishmen besieging us, along with all sorts of gigantic Sea Beasts. If it weren’t for the Star Torch Tree barrier, the defensive lines of the three cities would have already been breached.”

Zhou Xichao led Su Han directly to seek out Liu Rulong. At this moment, Liu Rulong was not in the command center, but at the frontline position of East Sea City.

The sound of gunfire was relentless, and although negotiations were supposed to take place, the Fishmen were still continuously striking the Star Torch Tree barrier.

Countless bullets rained down, and artillery fire landed upon the Fishmen and Sea Beast strongholds, tossing numerous Fishmen to the ground, killing them instantly.

But there were also large Sea Beasts who, wielding their thick-shelled claws, blocked the artillery fire with sheer force.

In this battle, First Rank forces served merely as cannon fodder.

Upon arriving at the city ramparts, Su Han saw this scene and couldn’t help but frown slightly. He could feel the depletion level of the Star Torch Tree’s Spiritual Energy, which was now less than fifty percent of its capacity.

“General Liu”

Su Han approached Liu Rulong, who was clad in black Breeding Armor, ready for battle at any moment.

“Lord Su, you’re here.”

“What’s the current situation?”

Su Han looked beyond the barrier where countless Sea Beasts and Fishmen were battering against it, the energy of the barrier steadily depleting, though fortunately, there was no close combat yet.

“They are testing the strength of the Star Torch Tree and the barrier,”

Liu Rulong said, “A Fifth-Order Fishman commander has communicated that they want to establish territorial boundaries on land, and they demand that we reveal the method of constructing the Star Torch Tree and, of course, our human technologies.”

His eyes were filled with a cold smirk, his ambition unbridled—these Fishmen wanted to strip humanity of its most resplendent aspects.

“They certainly have some nerve.”

Su Han’s gaze swept across the battlefield and then he inquired, “How many Fifth-Orders?”

“So far, only one has appeared, a Fifth-Order Giant Shark Fishman commander, but there are likely more,”

“What do you plan to do this time, General Liu?”

Liu Rulong glanced at Su Han’s expression and then said, “To hold our ground. The great war between species is inevitable, and I’m just worried that if the enemy possesses too many High-ranking Units, we won’t be able to cope, so I ask for you, Lord, to hold the line, stop the High-ranking Units, and leave the rest to us. This… is the only way, and the safest strategy.”

In his eyes, Su Han still possessed Fifth-Order strength, so it was best to proceed cautiously.

Moreover, even though Su Han’s intervention could decimate a large number of Fishmen, what if his presence was revealed too soon and he was deliberately worn down by the enemy?

Soldier to soldier, commander to commander

This wasn’t about posturing, but to prevent the enemy from exploiting any opportunity for a strategic advantage, to plot against our High-ranking combat forces.

Sometimes, even the slightest margin of difference could lead to total defeat.

“There’s no need to be so cautious.”

Su Han interrupted Liu Rulong’s thought, “I won’t make a move for now, but I have Fifth-Order forces at my disposal…”

As he spoke, a powerful aura surged forth, and a hundred-meter water flow coalesced into a Water Twister, slamming into the Star Torch Tree barrier.

Su Han fixed his gaze, noting the source of the water— a ten-meter-tall Fishman creature with a shark’s head and human body, clutching a large bone knife, its fierce gaze locked onto their location.
