Chapter 356: A Desperate Gamble

stand still, dragging on endlessly and painfully.I don't know how long it took, but when the poem was finished, the noisy breakfast shop had fallen completely silent.At this time, a figure sat serene..."Staff, how are those extraordinary beings from the Safe Zone families gathering"

"I've already given the notice, but it might take another day or so to get everyone assembled and ready for action."

"How much longer We don't have much time left."

"Well, if we can get everything together by the end of the day, that's already pretty good."

The staff officer sighed.

"Alright, let's go to the schoolyard."

At this moment, on the parade ground of the military headquarters, millions of soldiers have assembled and are waiting for Bai Li Pojun to select his generals.

Soldiers, the monsters are approaching, the safe zone is in imminent danger, what should we do

"Kill kill kill…"

The headquarters of the Jiangnan Army, a deafening roar that shook the heavens.

"Warriors of extraordinary caliber, advance!"

Out of millions of soldiers, less than 20,000 walked out.

Most of these people are high-ranking officers.

This is the predicament of the Lower Three States. With limited resources, they can only nurture this number of prodigies.

They also weren't thinking about letting the third and upper three states give them resources.

Indeed, Pinghaizhou could easily boost Jiangnanzhou's combat strength to a whole new level just by providing some resources.

But every state has its own problems, Pinghai Prefecture needs to deal with even more powerful monsters.

Looking at the remaining soldiers who had stood their ground, Bai Li broke through his army of a hundred miles, feeling a mixture of emotions.

Each of you lead a group of Awakened individuals level 40 and above, follow me to slay the enemy.

He didn't know how many of these people would survive the outing, or how much time they could buy. But he had to do it.

On his way back, he had already reported this matter to the higher-ups, but at the speed of a flying vessel, it was likely too late.

"Let's go!"

Then countless flying ships and armored tanks set out from the military headquarters.

The strategy of defending the city has become outdated. They must take the initiative, stand against the monsters' advance, and buy time for the arriving reinforcements.

The soldiers seemed to have a premonition, knowing that the outcome of this expedition would not be favorable. Most faces were etched with solemnity and sadness.

But they know that behind them is their home, their family and friends. They must protect this piece of pure land.

When Bai Li Po led his army, the monster horde was less than a thousand kilometers from the safe zone.

Looking at the dense throng of monsters ahead and then at the limited number of soldiers behind him, Bai Li broke his army's morale to pieces.

On the way to the safe zone, the monster horde has grown even larger.

"Soldiers, this is the monster we are about to face. I know this battle will be incredibly difficult, but will we be afraid"

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid…"

No one is afraid of death, it's just a matter of whether death has value and who it's for.

"Melee and defense at the front, ranged and healing in the back."

Extraordinary ones, follow me.

With Bai Li Po Jun raising his arms and roaring, he charged into the horde of monsters.

...

A tearing sound ripped through the monster horde, followed by a wave of creatures charging forward, kicking up clouds of dust.

The Sword Manual of Ten Thousand Swords

In fact, these vanguard monsters were not necessary for Bai Li Pojun to use such a powerful move. However, he had to do so in order to boost the morale of his troops.

With countless swords falling, streaks of blood blossomed across the ground.

Seeing countless monsters being slain by their general with a single blow, the soldiers behind him were undoubtedly invigorated.

Attacked the monster with all my might.

"Isn't this just an ordinary monster wave Why not rely on the city walls to kill monsters"

A soldier hacked one monster to death with his sword, and simultaneously kicked another one away with his foot. He was a little puzzled.

Because these monsters' strength wasn't that great, it was no different from the monsters he usually killed.

Although there are elite monsters, rare monsters and even boss monsters in the monster horde, there is no difference from previous monster sieges.

"Yeah, Captain. I don't know what the General was thinking."

"No more arguing, don't question the general's decision... uh."

The captain's eyes bulged suddenly, then he looked incredulously at his chest. A pitch-black whip pierced through his chest.

The other end of the whip was buried in the earth beneath his feet.

"Captain..."

"Damn monster."

Several people rushed over to rescue their captain.

coo...coo... Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Several piercing sounds rang out, and blood splattered everywhere.

Several teammates who rushed over had a long whip piercing their chests as well.

Then, the earth cracked open.

Only then did they discover the monster's appearance.

Those long whips were monstrous tentacles that grew on the backs of the creatures, and now they hung several people in the air, swaying back and forth.

Such a situation occurs throughout the battlefield in all directions.

Suddenly, cries of pain echoed from the human side.

"Yes, yes, it's a super extraordinary monster!"

When all the monsters crawled out of the soil, ordinary soldiers were all terrified.

This is beyond their capabilities.

"The extraordinary ones, speed against those subterranean monsters."

The Bai Li Pojun, commander of the monster horde in the Strange Crowd, saw the suddenly appearing extraordinary monster and his face changed drastically. He immediately ordered.

All the Awakened combatants, without hesitation, charged towards the nearest tentacle monster.

"At this rate, none of us will be able to hold out for long."

Bai Li Po Jun looked towards Ping Hai Prefecture.

The Shangsanzhou and Pinghaizhou are closest to Jiangnanzhou.

"Now we can only hope they make it in time."

After that, Bai Li broke through the enemy lines and plunged back into the monster horde.

These monsters are not ordinary extraordinary beings.

After facing the terrifying tentacled creature, those extraordinary beings found themselves surprisingly unable to defeat the monster. They could only helplessly watch as their soldiers were slaughtered by the beast.

"How could this be What would cause so many high-tier extraordinary monsters to appear"

Humans' superhuman abilities here seem a bit hopeless.

"General, General...."

The situation was dire. Only less than five thousand soldiers remained on the battlefield who could directly confront those tentacled monsters. The deputy general had arrived at Bai Li Pojun's side after witnessing this tragic scene.

And yet, on the current frontlines, there are nearly ten thousand Tentacle Monsters.

"General, we must retreat. This way, our sacrifices will be in vain."

"No, no matter what, we have to keep the monster horde here. If they breach the safe zone walls, it's all over."

"General, if we all die here, how long can we hold back the monsters It's better to conserve our strength and fight again in the safe zone. We've already bought ourselves a lot of time."

But...

The deputy general, watching Bai Li Po's army go berserk with rage, could only force him back to the safety zone defense.

"Retreat, full retreat."

I originally thought these soldiers could buy some time for the safe zone, at least allowing those powerful individuals from influential families to assemble and form a fighting force. Apparently, I underestimated the combat strength of the monsters.

The entire army retreated, and casualties increased rapidly.

Seeing those soldiers lying in pools of blood, swallowed by the tentacles, Bai Li Po Jun's eyes were bloodshot with rage. He wanted to turn back, but his deputy held him fast.ound transmission mother stone and stepped into the demon's lair.Entering the Demon's Den, a message soon appeared on the sound-transmitting mother stone.Chu Sheng glanced at it and then dashed toward...
