"What… How fast were they traveling? I was only two hours late, but I don't even see their shadow…"
Chen Xiaobei looked out for the troops on Somersault Cloud but he could not see a single soldier.
"They were headed toward this direction just now… I'm sure I'm on the right track… I think I'll have to start thinking about upgrading the Somersault Cloud!" Chen Xiaobei furrowed his brows, feeling a little sore. "Ning Yuchen won't tell me where they are even if I call them now. If I can't catch up, it'll be a big fat loss!"
BAM!
Just as Chen Xiaobei was worrying about not being able to find Ning Yuchen, there was a sudden loud explosion from afar. The fire rushed up to the sky and it was really terrifying.
"It must be over there!"
Chen Xiaobei quickly rushed over to the explosion.
...
All 3,000 soldiers from the 2nd Regiment were deployed.
A total of 30 large-capacity armored personnel formed a line like a swift dragon as they sped into depths of the pre-historic forest, away from the capital city.
"Captain, how strong do you think these Demonic Beasts are? I mean, even the Colonel came with us. Could they be Silver-tier Giant Beasts?"
Liu Chen asked Ning Yuchen who was sitting next to her, her tone anxious. They were late so they were on the last carrier.
"Don't worry, Liu Chen!" Ning Yuchen comforted her, "If they really are Silver-tier Giant Beasts, our Colonel would have asked for help the other Regiments! He won't be able to fight them on his own but with a few more Colonels from the other Regiments fighting with us, we won't have to be afraid of the beasts!"
"But I keep having this feeling… like there's something wrong… I don't know how to put it… I feel like something bad is going to happen…" Li Chen confessed.
"Don't worry. Even if the sky falls down, it will hit Hu Ben and me first. You know that, right?" Ning Yuchen joked.
"Alright… I hope I'm wrong…"Liu Chen nodded.
BAM!!
Suddenly, there was a loud explosion coming from the personnel carrier in the front!
There was a flash of blinding light that lit up the sky which was then followed by a column of fire and smoke. The massive blast sent a feverish wind storming towards them, raising goosebumps as it brushed across their skin.
"What happened…"
"What is happening in front…"
"What the hell…"
In that second, it was like all of the soldiers on the carriers were awaken from a slumber, sticking their heads out, trying to figure out what had just happened.
But the blast was too far.
The megaphones in the carrier cackled, and the Colonel spoke, "Red alert! Red alert! We are under attack! We are being attacked by a Silver-tier Giant Beast! The carriers behind are ordered to retreat! The further the better! Execute the order immediately! This is not a drill! I repeat, this is not a drill!"
Cackle…
It sounded as if the Colonel had tossed the walkie-talkie and went into battle.
If he, as a Colonel, did not get into the battle himself, all the soldiers in the carriers behind would be killed in action!
"Silver-tier Giant Beast… It really is… The Colonel won't be able to fight the beast on his own. He will die!"
Liu Chen clenched her fists and bit her lip, and her breathing grew ragged.
"There's no other choice… Other than the Colonel, none of us are strong enough to fight Silver-tier beasts! Even if we don't retreat, we wouldn't be able to help him!"
Ning Yuchen tried to alleviate Liu Chen's worry.
There was no other alternative but to retreat. All 3,000 of them. In fact, they had to pray that the Colonel would be able to hold the beast back for a while.
If he is defeated too soon, more than half of them would have to die here!

"I don't want Colonel to die… He is a little strict but he has always taken good care of us…"
Liu Chen sniffled.
It was common knowledge that even though both human and beast were the same rank, the beast would always prevail.
Liu Chen and her comrades were aware that their Colonel was trading his life to buy time for his 3,000 soldiers to flee!
"No one wants Colonel to die… But… We all know that the beasts are much stronger. Unless there's someone who can vanquish a Silver-tier Giant Beast… Nothing we say can change anything…"
Ning Yuchen was also devastated.
In this world, the fittest will always prevail over the weak! Power and strength will reign forever!
The weaker ones will have to give in to the stronger ones!
None of the soldiers in the remaining 29 personnel carriers wanted their Colonel to die. But no matter how unwilling they were, they had to retreat. And that was because they were all too weak.
...
"Roar!"
The frightening roars of the beast echoed in the skies. A vicious giant beast stood where at the scene of the explosion, howled, displaying its belligerence.
Standing at twenty meters tall, with jagged skin that looked like rocks, the beast looked very much like the ancient Tyrannosaurus!
Its head was large, and equipped with a giant blood-basin of a mouth that was lined with two rows of razor-sharp teeth.
And just like every other Demonic Beast, it did not have True Kang Armor but its talents were superior to humans of the same rank.
The only exception was, Giants Beast that had reached Silver-tier had the Special Ability to trigger Celestial Elements like humans could.
"Arghhh…"
The Colonel of the 2nd Regiment stood right before the Giant Beast, hands pressed against his chest and a trail of blood dripping down the corner of his lips.
His earlier collision with the Giant Beast caused him to suffer a massive injury.
But the injury he sustained was not lethal, he had enough strength left in him to make a run for it.
But for the sake of protecting his soldiers, he was going to continue to fight this murderous beast!
"Roar!"
The Giant Beast suddenly lay prostrate and opened its monstrous mouth to reveal a large, swelling ball of fire.
All around, the fire elements were being set in motion, and Celestial Fire was added to the ever-growing ball of fire.
It was the Giant Beast's intention to roast this Colonel and then attack the rest of the troop.
"Stupid creature! Stop howling already!" The Colonel said in a frosty tone. "I am ready to die! If you want to kill my soldiers, you will have to do it over my dead body!"
"Roar!"
There was a bloodthirsty look in the Giant Beasts eyes as the fireball in its mouth raged!
Clearly, the beast did not appreciate the Colonel's taunt. It wants to kill this unyielding man with its strongest attack!
"Goodbye, soldiers…"
The Colonel knew his fate. He exerted his Celestial Cultivation to its maximum. If he could hold the beast back for one second, he will take that one second.
"You are good Colonel! You don't have to die here!"
Suddenly, a calm voice came from behind the Colonel.
