Chapter 1206: War is Coming

"What happened?"

Chen Xiaobei straightened himself up instinctively.

"There's massive ground activity in Zachara Grand Canyon. The heads suspect that there may be a wave of beasts coming. All the units have been deployed! I can't talk now…"

Ning Yuchen hung up.

The situation was obviously very critical, to the point where a war might break out.

Ning Yuchen had mentioned that their operation was in the west of Silver Plume Forest, Zachara Grand Canyon.

That place was thick with vegetation and abundant with water, and thus, Demonic Beasts were often found residing there.

That was the 8th Regiment's territory. But if a stampede of beasts were to barge in, the 8th Regiment would not be able to defend themselves. 

That was why the management sent the entire 5th Regiment to assist them.

Once war breaks out, tens of thousands of people would be using fire to fight fire with the tens of thousands of Demonic Beasts, battling to the death!

Most people would normally run as far as they could from a situation like that, but instead, Chen Xiaobei had been waiting for this day to come!

In his eyes, tens of thousands of Demonic Beasts meant tens of thousands of Beast Cores. Combined with the Ginseng Fruit he had just recently acquired, his cultivation would skyrocket.

"Go!"

Chen Xiaobei qucikly made a decision within that second, stepped onto the Somersault Cloud and rushed west into the Silver Plume Forest.

...

other than the Capital City, all other areas on Silver Plume Planet were undeveloped and uninhabited.

So, as long as an area had a continuation of forestry, it was called Silver Plume Forest!

That was why this unique forest was about half the surface area of earth, and it had always been inhabited by a myriad of Demonic Beasts. There was even word of a Demonic Beast Kingdom.

If the Silver Plume City was made the midpoint of the eastern half of the planet, then the Demonic Beast Kingdom's capital would be in the center of the western half of the planet. The beasts themselves also had a strict hierarchy, and they too had Beast Emperor, Beast King, Beast Commander, and Beast Soldier.

The closer the beasts were to the Silver Plume City, the weaker their cultivation. The stronger Demonic Beasts lived in the vicinity of the Demonic Beast Capital City!

This time, Ning Yuchen and the others had crossed over half the width of the planet; and even though they had not reached the Demonic Beast Capital City yet, they had already entered the Demonic Beasts' domain – a powerful beast may appear at any time!

"Move it! Move it! 7th Regiment! Occupy the slope over there! 3rd Regiment! Stop dilly-dallying and find cover! Reconnaissance patrol, standby! I will be leaving with you…"

The 2nd Regiment Commanding Officer Hao Yue was issuing orders at the mouth of the Zachara Grand Canyon.

The 3,000 men in each Regiment were not unlike chess pieces, divided into smaller units, each with their own assignments. 

Hao Yue himself was like that person playing chess – the formation of the troops required his fastest, most precise decisions.

"Captain, why must we keep watch here? Wouldn't it be better for us to confront the beasts and force them to retreat?"

Liu Chen was squatting behind a rock.

"Are you crazy?" Ning Yuchen said, "I've already told you many times! The Beast Horde is really frightening! Tens of thousands of Demonic Beasts charging towards you like flood! If we can't force them to retreat, then we would be crushed in turn! Just look at this canyon. Can you see how it resembles a pocket? We just have to seal off this pocket so that beasts can't move forward. We have to choose the option that requires the least sacrifice to keep this disaster at bay! The best situation would be where not a single person has to die!"

Li Chen's eyes widened at this information.

"Oh, that's why… But why is officer Hao Yue bringing the reconnaissance patrol to infiltrate the place? Isn't that dangerous?"

"In order to win a battle, we must not only know ourselves, but we must also know our enemies! The Demonic Beasts are just as smart as us. If we don't do that, we might just fall into their trap!" Ning Yuchen said, without a smile. "Don't forget that this is not the only exit in Zachara Grand Canyon! If the Demonic Beasts use a diversion to overpower us, we would surely be in terrible danger!"

Hu Ben nodded and said, "That's right! I know there's a narrow path somewhere here. If the Demonic Beast uses that path, they would then have a chance to attack us from the back! It's all very unpredictable!"

"How dangerous! Would the officer Hao Yue and the others go take a look?" Lu Chen asked, eyes still enlarged.

"Of course!" Ning Yuchen said, "Officer Hao Yue had been a Northern Wilderness soldier for eight years. He would not allow for something so critical to slip from his mind!"

"That's good…"

Lu Chen exhaled, relieved.

...

What followed was a long, extended stake out.

The 18,000 soldiers from 6 regiments scattered all across the mouth of the Grand Canyon, patrolling.

The Demonic Beasts were like a hidden ticking time-bomb that could go off anytime, posing a lethal threat that did not allow them to rest their eyes.

The night was long, and every second felt like a year.

At the beginning, everyone was in high spirits. But after a few hours, late into the night, they began to feel agitated and pessimistic.

"Where the hell is the Beast Horde? I think we got the wrong intel! Let's head back! I'm so sleepy!"

"What are we even doing here? We're just waiting time! Let's split…"

"I will sleep for a while! Wake me up if anything happens!"

Several soldiers began to let their guard down, especially the new, inexperienced recruits, and they lay on the ground.

This was only natural. In fact, it was so quiet inside the canyon that the veterans said nothing. 

Gradually, more and more people began to succ.u.mb to their weariness.

Even Ning Yuchen and Liu Chen could not resist the weariness, leaning on a boulder and drifting into deep sleep.

Only Hu Ben buckled himself to remain awake, his eyes watching his surroundings with vigilance, like a watchful tiger.

Suddenly, a ray of light flashed at the mouth of the canyon!

"What is that?" 

Hu Ben rubbed his eyes and looked again.

"We are under attack! Everyone wake up! Our enemy's here!" Hu Ben roared.

Inside the canyon, silver lights like stars slowly radiated out.

"Thats… Ghastly Eyed Zephyr Wolves! My goodness! There's so many… There are almost thousands of them… Wake up! Everyone wake up… Stop sleeping! We'll all die…"

Shouts echoed in the canyon. A small portion of those who were still awake cried out desperately.

Obviously, the Demonic Beasts had made the first move!

Thousands of gigantic wolves appeared from the darkness of the canyon.

Their giant bodies kicked up the dust under their feet, their silver eyes filled with a thirst for blood!

The number of wolves were nowhere near a tenth of the number of Northern Wilderness soldiers. But those who were awake were few and scattered!

The Demonic Wolves ripped the hearts of those who were asleep with their dagger-like claws.

This was only the beginning of a terrifying massacre!

...

At the same time, Chen Xiaobei arrived from the skies of the Zachara Grand Canyon.

From there he saw everything that was happening in the mouth of the canyon but instead of approaching the battle, he flew off to the other side!

A bigger plot was indeed brewing!
