127: Chapter 127 Division Headquarters Meeting: Notify Lin Yuan to provide immediate rescue!

A day passed, and the beast tide at Void Rift No. 3 finally subsided.

With Lin Yuan's inclusion, the battle had become easy and pleasant; every soldier's face beamed with excitement.

Over the course of the day, Lin Yuan had also devoured many soul bodies; although their levels weren't very high, they were mostly around the third or fourth rank.

However, his ability points had increased by another 3 million, reaching 23 million, leaving him only 2 million short of the next advancement.

...

The beast tide at Void Rift No. 3 was resolved, and the Division Headquarters convened a new meeting. Colonel Zhang brought along the former First Battalion Commander Li, the Second Battalion Commander, and the Seventh Battalion Commander to attend.

Originally, the Seventh Battalion Commander wouldn't have been able to attend a meeting of this level, but because Lin Yuan was in his battalion, he was granted an exception. He could finally hold his head high.

In the military, strength was revered. With Lin Yuan as his star attraction, his Seventh Battalion would become the most sought-after battalion from now on.

At the meeting, Colonel Zhang intended to apply for a military rank for Lin Yuan.

"Division Commander, I have one more matter for today's meeting," Colonel Zhang said, standing up and saluting the Division Commander.

"Oh? What is it, Colonel Zhang? Speak up," the Division Commander said with an interested smile.

"It's like this: our Third Regiment took in a new recruit two days ago, but this recruit is quite extraordinary."

"His name is Lin Yuan. He's not even nineteen yet, a graduate of Qing University, and already possesses the combat power of a Grandmaster Expert. Moreover, he performed a great service as soon as he arrived, so I request that the Division Commander grant an exceptional promotion to Lin Yuan's military rank."

Colonel Zhang reported Lin Yuan's situation truthfully. Everyone at the meeting wore looks of bewilderment upon hearing his words; even the composed Division Commander frowned.

"Colonel Zhang, have you gone senile? How dare you say such things in a meeting? Do you even believe what you're saying?"

"How could a Qing University graduate be only eighteen? At that age, he'd be a freshman at most. Besides, you claim he has the combat power of a Grandmaster Expert? Heh... since when did Grandmasters become as common as dirt? An eighteen-year-old youth with Grandmaster combat power?" the First Regiment Commander immediately objected.

"Exactly. Colonel Zhang, you must have the wrong information about this recruit. If it were truly as you said, such a heaven-defying person wouldn't exist in Great Xia, let alone on Planet Blue," the Second Regiment Commander agreed.

"Division Commander, how could I be mistaken? I wouldn't talk nonsense in such a serious meeting. Everything I said is true. He is currently in the Seventh Battalion of my regiment, and I've brought the Seventh Battalion Commander along," Colonel Zhang quickly explained.

The three battalion commanders beside Colonel Zhang nodded incessantly. Seeing this, the Division Commander's frown deepened; surely four people wouldn't all be talking nonsense.

"Colonel Zhang, what you've described is indeed too incredible; it's only natural that everyone finds it hard to understand. How about this: bring this young Grandmaster from your regiment here, and we'll verify the truth on the spot," the Division Commander said after a moment of deliberation.

"Certainly! I'll call the regiment right now..."

Colonel Zhang nodded in immediate agreement and pulled out a military communicator to call the regiment. But just as he was about to dial, a panicked soldier rushed into the conference room.

"Reporting to the Division Commander! We've just received a distress signal from the Second Regiment. A Beast Riot has suddenly erupted at Void Rift No. 2. A large number of sixth-rank fierce beasts are pouring out, and they need urgent reinforcements," the soldier reported hurriedly.

"What? How is that possible?! Division Commander, I'm heading back immediately!"

The Second Regiment Commander bolted upright, his expression frantic. The beast tide at Void Rift No. 2 had ended less than ten days ago; how could another riot break out so soon? It defied common sense.

The Division Headquarters had convened the meeting now because they were certain that the three Void Rifts in Yun City were in a stable period and wouldn't have beast tides. Who could have known a Beast Riot would erupt at this moment?

A "Beast Riot" referred to a sudden sneak attack by a group of fierce beasts. Usually, the beasts involved were of a high level, and their numbers could sometimes reach into the thousands...

"In that case, issue orders to your regiments immediately to reinforce Void Rift No. 2! I will also set out at once to assist in the rescue," the Division Commander instructed immediately.

Hearing this, Colonel Zhang thought of Lin Yuan. In such a critical situation, if they mobilized troops for support, the Second Regiment would likely have few survivors left by the time they arrived.

A Beast Riot involved a large number of sixth-rank fierce beasts. The Division Commander was a Grandmaster Expert, and his presence would surely alleviate the pressure on the soldiers. However, the Division Headquarters was too far from Void Rift No. 2; even with the Division Commander's strength, he might arrive too late.

Their Third Regiment's station, however, wasn't very far from Void Rift No. 2. With Lin Yuan's cultivation as a Space-type Grandmaster, he could definitely arrive at top speed.

Furthermore, with Lin Yuan's terrifying methods, he was an army unto himself and could resolve the trouble in minutes.

Thinking of this, Colonel Zhang spoke up immediately: "Reporting to the Division Commander! The situation is critical. I request that Lin Yuan be sent for the rescue. He alone is enough to resolve the trouble easily!"

"Colonel Zhang, this is no time for nonsense. If you continue like this, I will have to petition the Official Military Commission for your severe punishment!"

The Division Commander was getting angry. At such a crucial moment, Colonel Zhang still dared to talk nonsense. Even if the Lin Yuan he spoke of was truly a young Grandmaster, how could one person resolve a beast tide of numerous sixth-rank fierce beasts?

The Division Commander himself was a Grandmaster Expert, and he knew he couldn't handle it alone. One wrong move and he might even perish in the beast tide. How could one person do it?

"Division Commander! The situation is urgent. Even if you arrive, you won't be able to save the people of the Second Regiment. For the lives of our comrades in the Second Regiment, I am willing to guarantee with everything I have. If Lin Yuan fails the mission, I will voluntarily resign from my post, face a court-martial, and spend the rest of my life repenting in prison!"

Colonel Zhang said in a low voice. To save his comrades and prove Lin Yuan's strength, he had staked everything.

Hearing this, the Division Commander found it hard to decide. He also knew that by the time they arrived, they wouldn't be able to save the Second Regiment, and the hope of even withstanding the beast tide was slim.

I'll bet on it!

The Division Commander gritted his teeth. In that case, he would let that Lin Yuan try.

Having made his decision, the Division Commander immediately spoke:

"Issue orders immediately! Everyone from the First and Second Regiments is to head to Void Rift No. 2 for rescue at full speed!"

The Division Commander looked at Colonel Zhang with a firm gaze. "Notify Lin Yuan immediately. Urgent rescue!!!"
