Chapter 709: Defending Yulou Pass; Silence and Support
5:10 am on the 00th.
Looking up, I see the rolling sea of clouds and no sunlight; looking down, the earth is shaking and everything is devastated.
Outside Yulou Pass, there are Thirteen Forests.
The first echelon led by Chang Le, Iris and Wan Bujun was responsible for guarding and fighting the alien species in the middle and eastern part, which was also the place where the alien attack was the fastest and had the most ninth-level alien species.
More than 20 minutes ago, when they led the Dragon Soul Army and the War Wolf Road mecha troops to arrive, the alien species had already crossed the border area and entered the Thirteen Forests.
After more than twenty minutes of all-out fighting, relying on comprehensive firepower suppression, Chang Le, Iris and Wan Bujun suppressed the eight ninth-level alien species. Regardless of consumption and sacrifice, they forced the alien species to retreat out of the Thirteen Forests. The two sides used Xiang River as the boundary and temporarily confronted each other on both sides.
The main force of the Wolf Army and the border garrisons led by Lu Jinan were in the western section of the Xiang River, and they quickly forced the alien species back to the north side of the Xiang River.
The first battle, which seemed to be quickly forced back and progressing smoothly, was not achieved without casualties.
Dozens of kilometers of border areas, especially on both sides of the river valley, have been completely covered with traces of war.
The ground was littered with broken arms and legs, corpses piled together, and blood floating everywhere.
Iris went to check on the casualties.
At the place where the wounded were resettled, the medical staff were so busy that they couldn't stop. The makeshift resettlement point was littered with wounded soldiers covered in blood, broken bones and tendons. Some were burned by fire attributes and could hardly be seen in human form. Their painful groans and wails made people's hearts and lungs ached.
But no one who saw Iris asked any questions, and no one backed down.
For those who live on the front line against alien species, fighting against alien species has become an instinct, driving them to forget about life and death.
District 9 is a chaotic, dangerous and disorderly place, but it is their hometown where they depend on for survival.
Iris has experienced countless battles, but her eyes are still sore. When she meets familiar subordinates, she can only comfort them with words.
The wounded subordinate grabbed her sleeve and asked her, "Sister Yuan, can we... win?"
Iris held back her tears and held his hand tightly: "Of course!"
Iris returned to the command center. Wan Bujun, Chang Le and other commanders of the Dragon Soul Army analyzed the enemy and our own forces in the previous battle and deployed the next action.
After the commanders left, Iris said to the two, "The casualties are not good. This time the aliens are too fierce and there are too many of them. They are rushing forward without caring about their lives. Unless the entire Ninth District uses all its strength to abandon the rear guard, otherwise, we can only hold out for one day at most."
Chang Le said very little today. After two seconds of silence, he said, "That's enough."
Around 11 o'clock.
The Second War of Resistance.
11:, the third time.
the fourth time……
the fifth time……
At six o'clock in the evening, after eight hours of almost uninterrupted fighting, the Dragon Soul Army and the Wolf Warrior Mecha Unit resisted the main alien attacks thirteen times and intercepted small-scale invasions dozens of times.
The weather was very bad, it got dark very early and the temperature was much lower than during the day.
There were no sounds of insects and birds as before, only endless silence and desolation. The occasional sound was the wailing of wounded soldiers or the roar of alien species coming across the river in the distance.
The night is like thousands of silk threads, densely seeping into the bones, tightly wrapping up the body and soul.
Creepy and suffocating.
Iris was in charge of the command center, while Chang Le and Wan Bujun were behind a temporary defensive wall built in front, surrounded by soldiers who were on alert and ready for battle.
The night deepened, becoming unbearably depressing.
Shuai Xian and Wang Yao were right behind Chang Le. Shuai Xian suddenly kicked Wang Yao: "Hey."
He kicked Wang Yao's sword right away, and the clanging sound startled everyone who were on high alert, and they all pricked up their ears to listen.
"What are you doing?" Wang Yao punched him away.
"Don't you usually talk a lot? I'm just telling everyone a joke to relax. No one is talking. I'm almost suffocating!"
Wang Yao rolled his eyes, not in the mood to talk nonsense with him: "Get lost!"
Shuai Xian glanced at Chang Le who was sitting cross-legged and silent, and pushed Wang Yao again in a mean way: "Where is the sister with great kung fu skills that you didn't finish telling me about before? I still want to hear more~"
A burst of muffled laughter was heard all around, and Chang Le looked up at the two of them.
Wang Yao's face turned red and blue, and he elbowed him in annoyance: "What nonsense are you talking about? Sister is an alien species that turned into an old witch!"
Shuai Xian smacked his lips: "It's even more exciting, brother."
Chang Le let out a muffled laugh, and the laughter from those around him became even more undisguised.
The atmosphere eased slightly.
"After this fight," Wang Yao suddenly said, "I'll give it to you when I get back..."
"Stop!" Shuai Xian jumped and covered his mouth, "Brother, don't hurt me! Who are you trying to scare to death by setting a flag at this time?"
The people around him also waved nervously at Wang Yao.
Wan Buxun couldn't help but laugh: "You're still superstitious. On the battlefield, everyone relies on their own abilities. Don't waste your usual training. Stay alive!"
Everyone responded.
But everyone knows that in such a scale, even a person with the cultivation level of Wan Bujun may die. Most of them are good experts among ordinary psychics. Facing these alien species, whether they can survive really depends on luck and fate.
After a while of silence, someone couldn't help but sigh: "How long will this battle last?"
There was silence and no one knew the answer.
Chang Le suddenly said, "It will be quick."
"Young Master," a girl of about eighteen or nineteen years old crawled over from behind Shuai Xian, with a cat-like face and sparkling eyes, and asked her,
"Can we wait for reinforcements?"
Wan Bujun's expression changed slightly.
Chang Le smiled faintly and reached out to wipe the dirt off her eyes: "Believe me, we will win, I am with you."
……
The river rolled forward and the war continued.
There was silence everywhere, but an undercurrent was surging.
……
The night is getting darker.
District 8, Fenghuo Hall.
District 8, located in the northwest, is also in a dangerous location. Once the alien tide from the old ruins in the northern border breaks through the Yulou Pass, District 8 will be the next target.
Hua An Ning was still in District 3. Feng Mingye, who could no longer contain himself, hurried to find their master, Master Feng.
"Master! District Nine has been alone in resisting the alien species from the Northern Territory for eight hours!" Feng Mingye's brows were filled with anxiety. "Should we... not provide support?"
Master Feng is old, and usually spends his days in the courtyard enjoying his retirement. He has a calm temperament. But at this moment, his brows slightly furrowed. He said slowly:
"The region is in chaos. The Qin family is in trouble, but the Ying family doesn't care. The supporters of the management committee are fighting fiercely with the other families. The masters of the families dare not send troops, fearing that if they do, the Qin family's subordinates will take advantage of the situation. The meeting only dispatched additional troops from other places to provide support."
"There are more than twenty ninth-level alien species leading this wave. The alien leader leading this wave is likely to be above the ninth level. There are thousands of eighth-level alien species, tens of thousands of sixth- and seventh-level alien species, and countless fifth-level and below alien species. This scale has far exceeded the first-level alien species craze in Chaohai City that year! How can the main force of District 9 resist it alone?"
Feng Mingye's eyes turned red. "We are both guarding the border of the disordered land. There are so many bones in front of Yulou Pass, but we are just sitting there and watching? Master, what's the reason for this?"
Master Feng looked at him calmly: "I know, but I can't go, and I don't want Ningning to go. Fenghuotang can help the Long faction without hesitation, but the Hua family can't, do you understand?"
Feng Mingye's eyes lit up.
Master Feng took out a metal pendant and gave it to him: "With this, you can mobilize all the combat forces of Fenghuotang."
Feng Mingye knelt and bowed: "Mingye thanks Master for your help! Master, if I can return safely, I will not let you down."
After saying this, he kowtowed three times, then stood up and left with the token.
