Chapter 420: Chapter 319: The Strange Black Sturgeon Beast
“Report, I’m just injured, not dead, minor injuries don’t keep from the front line.”
Qin Henghu wasn’t angered by the cautionary asures, but his temper flared upon seeing Ma Yilin, he cursed, “I told you minor injuries don’t keep you from the front line, but you’ve lost a hand, what are you trying to prove?”
Ma Yilin, chest thrust out, looked up at Qin Henghu, his eyes filled with reluctance, “I still have Angel Envoy.”
“Get lost, you stubborn fool.”
Qin Henghu had nothing else to say to him, but then again, few in the Ard Forces weren’t stubborn, “Where is Liu Wenchuan?”
“Stationed at the Sanjiang Dam area. Those two beasts have been lurking around. Liu said we must always be on guard, so he temporarily handed over the city defense to .”
“Take there.”
“Yes.”
Ma Yilin, without asking further, had his soldiers bring a military vehicle and then rushed with the two n towards the direction of the Sanjiang Dam.
The situation in Sanjiang City seed different from Wushan City as Su Han observed the outside city environnt from the vehicle.
The Lamp Tree Crystals were no more nurous than those in Wushan City, concentrated only on so of the main thoroughfares, and the city’s population appeared to be even lower than that of Wushan City, not just by a little.
“Sanjiang City was occupied later; many survivors perished under the monster attacks. When I ordered the 81st Regint to recapture this place, only about 600,000 survivors were rescued.”
Sanjiang City had gathered residents from many dam overflow areas over the years, with a significant level of urbanization. Later, to secure livelihoods, many industries were relocated here from Tang City and Wushan City to form industrial clusters.
In addition, the developnt of the surrounding area of Sanjiang Dam into a tourist zone attracted even more people, with the population once reaching about four million.
Four million people, yet when it was recaptured, only about 600,000 remained. Over a third had already died at the start of the apocalypse, beyond the reach of rescue.
But still, the magnitude of those numbers weighed heavily on Qin Henghu’s heart.
“General, it’s my incompetence, not your fault.”
Sitting in the co-driver’s seat, Ma Yilin interjected, to which Qin Henghu retorted harshly, “I don’t need your consolation, just focus on leading the way.”
Qin Henghu continued, “Later, because the Black Sturgeon Beast might break the dam at any mont and flood Sanjiang City, portions of the population were relocated to cities like Wushan City and Tang City, about 300,000 in total. Now the entire city, including the Ard Forces, numbers just over 300,000.”
“At least you saved hundreds of thousands of lives.”
Su Han’s calm voice chipped in; he knew Qin Henghu didn’t need consolation. He was strong enough to face such circumstances, but it still pained him to see the old man carrying so much weight.
“When South City was reclaid, the population was less than 100,000, countless died at the hands of monsters; no one could remain unaffected under such calamities.”
The atmosphere in the vehicle grew heavy, but thankfully, the soldier driving the vehicle was quick, and they sped toward the dam.
Because the dam was a crucial battleground, high demands were placed on keeping the roads clear. Hence, dozens of kiloters of road were lined with Lamp Tree Crystals, completely dispelling the fog, with no other vehicles or obstacles.
Under full speed, they soon approached the dam.
“Boom”
The sound of cannons echoed in the distance, causing Ma Yilin’s expression to change; it was the sound of tank artillery.
“Speed up!”
“Yes!”
The firing of tank artillery was no random action; since it had been heard, it confird that the Black Sturgeon Beast had launched an attack.
….
“All heavy artillery aim at the Black Sturgeon Beast and the giant waves. Third-order Warriors, have your Angel Envoys join the front. Armored units, units with defense skills, take the frontlines, you absolutely can’t let them get near the dam.”
Liu Wenchuan’s grim voice reached every corner of the battlefield, with his three Angel Envoys charging to the forefront of the dam.
The Ridgeback Crocodile, Bone Blade Corpse Monster, and Black Armored Giant Lizard as mythic sovereignty, along with several other Third Order Apostles, attacked and weakened the water vortex projectiles asuring two to three ters.
The sound of water roared, with waves surging over the two hundred ter-wide river surface. Two dark red Black Sturgeon Beasts commanded the water flow, continuously launching attacks from the river center.
Artillery shells were continuously fired at them, but they were blocked by the rising waves and a layer of water shields. Fire blazed in mid-air, yet still failed to harm the two monsters.
Behind the waves and shields, the Black Sturgeon Beasts, their eyes gleaming, gathered Spiritual Energy persistently, forming one water vortex projectile after another, targeting the dam’s defensive positions.
“Prepare the missiles, Angel Envoys block the blast, protect the dam from…”
“No need anymore.”
The vehicle roared directly onto the battlefield; Qin Henghu’s voice ca from inside the vehicle. When the two got out, Liu Wenchuan, within his exoskeleton, was stunned.
“Damn it, Ma Yilin, who asked you to bring the general here? Take him away!”
Liu Wenchuan imdiately beca frantic; this was the ti of the Black Sturgeon Beast’s riot. If any mishap occurred and the general died here…
Then Wushan Base would likely collapse, and even if it didn’t disperse, it could no longer remain united.
Because only the general had high enough prestige, no matter how many Third Order leaders there were, everyone had to follow his commands.
“I ca here by myself.”
Qin Henghu’s gaze firmly locked on the Black Sturgeon Beasts on the river surface, the two monstrosities, each about seventy to eighty ters long, appeared intermittently on the river, their flowing, surging water form exerting imnse pressure on onlookers.
