“Chief Commander, a great number of dire beasts have been discovered 10 kilometers outside the city, and…”
“And what? Spit it out!”
Long Duo shattered the dozens of dire beasts with a single punch. These ordinary dire beasts could be easily killed by Long Duo even if they were all dire beast lords. That was nothing difficult.
The reason why the entire city was in chaos was that the distribution of these dire beasts was too widespread, and there were too many of them. It was impossible to wipe them out completely in a short amount of time. However, with the strength of the Dragon Mountain Base alone, given enough time,
they could wipe out these fleshworm dire beasts.
“And many demons are discovered among the fleshworm dire beasts. It’s estimated that there are more than 30 of them…”
“Impossible!”
The Chief Commander’s expression changed abruptly. Thirty demons? How was this possible? Back when they were at the frontline of the decisive battle, there were only ten-odd demons, one less than the number of inhuman experts at the Dragon Mountain Base.
However, now that he thought about it, if all of this was a scheme by fleshworm dire beasts, was there being one less demon on the other side than inhuman experts in the Dragon Mountain Base a coincidence, or was it intentional?
The more Long Duo thought about it, the more he felt that something was amiss. However, regardless of whether it was a scheme or not, the entire Dragonlith City was about to face a real threat now.
There had been dire beasts parasitizing it previously, plunging the entire Dragonlith City into chaos. However, no matter how chaotic the situation, it was still under Long Duo’s control. At most, Dragonlith City would suffer heavy losses.
But with the arrival of a large army of fleshworm dire beasts, mortal danger would come to not only the entire Dragonlith City, but even the 16 inhuman experts as well.
“Report to the higher-ups at once: Dragonlith City has been attacked by an unknown dire beast army. More than 30 demons have been discovered for the time being. Request reinforcements from the higher-ups. Lastly, order the 15 platoon leaders to converge outside the city immediately.”
With that, Long Duo immediately tumed around and rushed out of the city.
Actually, he knew very well that the higher-ups were unlikely to send reinforcement when the current situation was unclear. What if the reinforcements became parasitized again?
Therefore, the only thing they could rely on now was the power of Dragon Mountain Base and the entire Dragonlith City.
Beep-beep-beep.
Ina spacious hall, soldiers were bustling everywhere.
The leader was an old man in military uniform. His face was stern, but he was staring at the screen intently right now.
He was the Minister of Armed Forces in Country Hua, and he controlled all the military power in the country.
Now that the World Alliance has been established in this world, every country had independent administrative rights, but military rights are unified under the World Alliance.
There were a total of nine marshals in charge of the armed forces of the World Alliance, and they were the Nine Sages of the present world, who wielded all the military power in the world.
If not for this, how could humans expand so many territories so quickly when their overall strength was inferior to the dire beasts?
The Nine Sages were the Supreme Marshals, but they also established a Ministry of Armed Forces in each country and appointed ministers. The minister had full authority to command all armed forces, including martial artists and military forces. Even the highest executive of a country could not
interfere.
At this moment, the Minister of Armed Forces of Country Hua, Minister Liu, was already overwhelmed. The sudden parasitic crisis in Dragonlith City was not isolated to Dragonlith City alone.

It happened almost everywhere in the country. The reason for it had already been found. Almost without exception, there were people who came from Dragonlith City in these places.
Even though Minister Liu had already ordered everyone from Dragonlith City to be quarantined countrywide, it was still unknown how much effect this would have. However, he knew that this could not possibly stop the parasitism.
After all, wherever parasitism had occurred, it was highly probable that someone else would be parasitized. With no way to test the state of parasitism right now, once the incubation period was up, there was bound to be an outbreak of more parasitism.
Right now, Minister Liu could only hope that the Research Department could quickly figure out how to identify the parasite, so as to quell the parasitism as soon as possible.
Of course, Minister Liu was also paying attention to Dragonlith City. After all, there were three million people there.
“Minister Liu, Chief Commander Long Duo of Dragon Mountain Base and the mayor of Dragonlith City have sent a message in conjunction, requesting reinforcements. A great number of dire beasts have appeared outside Dragonlith City, and there are even more than 30 demons. Dragonlith City is in
imminent danger.”
“Thirty demons…”
Minister Liu’s heart ached immensely. Of course he knew the current situation in Dragonlith City, and how difficult it was for Long Duo. However, he was also in a dilemma.
Currently, the fleshworm dire beasts had been determined to be parasitic Predators. They were a brand-new type of dire beast. The scale, means of parasitism, means of transmission, and so on were all unknown.
How could he send in people to rescue them like this?
If numerous experts were sent over, what if they also became parasitized? That would only make matters worse.
This was also why he had given the order for Dragonlith City to hold out on its own. He had not sent in a single soldier in consideration of the overall impact.
Although this was very cruel to the three million people of Dragonlith City, this was a necessary sacrifice!
However, there were three million people. With so many vibrant lives in there, if they really did not send in reinforcements, the entire Dragonlith City would fall to those dire beasts’ attack. How many dire beasts would arise from parasitism then?
It would be unimaginable. This was probably humanity’s greatest crisis after the calamity a century ago.
“Inform Dragonlith City that we will send a spaceship to drop a large amount of living supplies. As for reinforcements… Tell them to hold out for 10 more hours. Reinforcements will definitely arrive in 10 hours!”
Minister Liu could not really just stand by and watch three million die in Dragonlith City like this.
“Ten hours?”
Many people were confused. What could 10 hours do? Was it to mobilize many troops or martial artists?
“Tell them that in 10 hours, one of the Nine Sages, the Invincible Fist Sage, will personally rush to Dragonlith City to rescue them!”
“What? Lord Invincible Fist Sage?”
Many people were shocked. That was one of the Nine Sages, one of the Nine Supreme Marshals of the World Alliance’s armed forces. However, the Invincible Fist Sage and the other eight Sages were stationed deep in the Outland all year round.
After all, there were extremely fearsome existences among dire beasts as well. These all required overseeing by the Nine Sages, so that those fearsome dire beasts did not dare to show themselves. If not for this, how could human martial artists have expanded territories so easily?
“That’s right, it’s Marshal Invincible Fist Sage! Get Long Duo to hold out for 10 hours by any means possible.”
Actually, Minister Liu had not contacted the Invincible Fist Sage yet, but as the Invincible Fist Sage’s subordinate, he knew the Invincible Fist Sage very well. The Invincible Fist Sage would never just watch the three million people die in Dragonlith City. He would definitely take action.
However, the prerequisite was that Dragonlith City had to persist for 10 hours. After all, no matter how fast the Invincible Fist Sage was, it was impossible for him to arrive at Dragonlith City in an instant. Ten hours was the least amount of time needed.
Everyone’s heart was heavy. Ten hours. With the current state of panic in Dragonlith City, and the aggressive assail of the fleshworm dire beasts
Could Dragonlith City hold out for 10 hours?
