Chapter 366: Chapter 297: Conflict Arises
Outside the area shrouded by the insect fog, all personnel from the armored and mobile units had entered a state of high alert. The tension was palpable, and everyone’s gaze was fixed on the surging insect fog. With the Angel Envoy by their side, clutching their weapons, they felt a semblance of safety.
It had been a full half-hour since they had gone in. Not long after their entry, the sound of gunfire had erupted. It ca quickly and faded just as fast, sinking into silence since then. Everyone knew sothing had gone wrong inside.
Zhou Shanying’s expression had already darkened to the extre. Zhao Sanyi was his deputy, and now, not a single piece of news had co from him; one could only imagine his worry.
“Chen Da, you get everyone ready outside; I’ll lead a team to scout again.”
“Zhou Shanying, don’t be reckless. If you go in and sothing happens, it won’t just be a Third Order loss.”
“It’s their lives…..”
“Bullshit!”
Chen Da glared, his voice grave as he scolded, “How much spiritual energy ore has Linshui City spent on you? And those injections from headquarters, you tell it’s all about people’s lives? If Zhao Sanyi is in trouble, aren’t my n at risk too? But who bears the losses caused by your recklessness?”
Chen Da felt terrible too, but in war, deaths were inevitable. With the situation still unclear, sending a Third Order in could really lead to serious losses.
“If I don’t go, then we might as well do nothing. If we can’t secure the heavy industry in Huiyuan City, life will be tough for Battalion 117 later on.”
“Send a few more teams to scout the area, but don’t go deep; just feel it out.”
Chen Da, with a steely resolve in his tiger-like eyes, decided, “Once we sniff out so information, I’ll lead the team in.”
“Shhhh”
The insect fog churned instantly. Nurous worker insects appeared from the left and right sides of the fog, bypassing the main street and encircling from both sides.
The cold pincers and mouthparts, illuminated under the glow of the Lamp Tree Crystals, appeared even more terrifying.
Zhou Shanying and Chen Da’s faces changed abruptly; they shouted at the top of their lungs, “Everyone, pay attention to your surroundings!”
They hurried to the front of the line, the sight before them sending a chill down their spines and tightening every muscle in their bodies. In the midst of the frontal insect fog, the enormous silhouettes of the Giant Mountain Insects and Tunnel Giant Worms slowly erged through the mist.
Twenty-ter-tall behemoths, nearly indistinguishable from the buildings beside them, made one feel utterly insignificant.
Third Order!
Two Third Order monsters appeared at the sa ti, but more crucially, behind these Third Order monsters, thousands upon thousands of other insects were gathering.
“Chen Da!”
Zhou Shanying shouted, and Chen Da imdiately understood, summoning his Angel Envoys. Three Angel Envoys stood in front of the team, blocking the entire street and facing the suddenly appearing monsters.
Zhou Shanying also summoned his own Angel Envoy at the sa ti, and together with Chen Da, they blocked the front of the team.
They had both experienced the battles near Linshui City, especially the beast tide from the interdinsional rift concerning tides. Third Order monsters were no longer sothing a few regular shell blasts could solve.
If there was no restraint whatsoever, then the Third Order monsters leading the charge could break their formation and cause massive casualties, a painful lesson brought by the beast tide from the interdinsional rift.
However, just as Zhou Shanying and the others were ready, the movent of the insect swarm surprised them, for the insects made no move whatsoever.
“What’s going on?”
Zhou Shanying and Chen Da, experiencing this situation for the first ti, were full of doubts, but soon the opposite insect swarm spontaneously opened up a path. The insects surrounded Su Han, who walked out, with the even more enormous figure of the Mother Worm towering behind him.
Fallen ones? Or human?
The Mother Worm’s presence, in no way subdued, pressed down on the Ard Forces like a mountain, overwhelmingly oppressive, causing everyone’s faces to pale significantly.
How could it be this terrifying?!
“Who are you?”
Zhou Shanying gritted his teeth and asked, feeling an unimaginable pressure even as a Third Order.
Su Han glanced over and cracked a smile.
Not bad, two Third Orders. It seems Linshui City must have about four or five Third Orders.
“Linshui City’s Ard Forces, right?”
Su Han’s gaze swept over, and then he said, “I’ll give you a chance. Head back to Linshui City now; I’m taking Huiyuan City.”
“Friend”
Chen Da, despite the pressure, was just about to speak when in the next mont, Su Han’s glance sparked the psychokinetic power of the Mother Worm, pressing it onto him as if bearing a thousand pounds.
“We… we are the vanguard of the Linshui City Ard Forces. We… ca here to reclaim Huiyuan City. It was just a misunderstanding earlier; we didn’t know this was your territory.”
Chen Da attempted to clarify the misunderstanding. Currently, the strength of Su Han’s side was unclear, but communication seed possible, suggesting he might not be a fallen one – good news indeed.
However, it appeared Su Han was not interested in communication, or perhaps, given their status as the advance unit, the value of their communication was not so great.
Zhou Shanying and his n’s expressions imdiately took on an ominous tone, but in the next mont, the insect swarm moved, bringing out the captured Zhao Sanyi and his troops, laying them in front of their positions.
“Zhao Sanyi! What have you done to him?”
Zhou Shanying roared, but was quickly restrained by Chen Da, who whispered, “He’s not dead.”
Chen Da noticed that the captured thirty individuals and their Angel Envoys still showed faint signs of breathing, proving they were still alive.
“What do you an by this?”
“Take your people, and then leave half of your tanks and armored vehicles. Head back to Linshui City.”
Su Han’s expression remained calm as he slowly said, “Tell your commander, I’ll make ti to visit Linshui City.”
