37: Kunlun heavy artillery

“And I'm telling you, once you go to university, be extra careful when you're out training.

The Vicious Beasts have a force embedded in our Great Xia, and their goal is to kill Geniuses like you.

When I first joined the army, I was assigned to hunt down those people!”

Listening to Xiao Chen's words, Ye Liuyun frowned slightly, “There’s such a thing?”

“What do you think? The intelligence of the Vicious Beast's high-ranking members is no weaker than ours; they are very cunning.” As he spoke, Xiao Chen looked behind Ye Liuyun.

“Deputy Commander Xu is here.”

“Ye Liuyun, starting tonight, you'll be patrolling the front line with me.” Xu Feng walked over and looked at Ye Liuyun.

“Yes.”

Ye Liuyun turned to Xiao Chen and said, “I'll find you to chat in detail after this is over.”

With that, he followed Xu Feng's footsteps and left the defense zone.

Xiao Chen waved his hand, “Alright!”

He turned around and saw many soldiers watching Ye Liuyun's retreating figure.

“What are you looking at? All of you, perk up! As the Commander said, this beast tide is not weak in scale.”

“Company Commander, with Company Leader Ye not here, we're still a bit nervous.”

“Nervous my ass! Without Company Leader Ye, can't you all fight? Every single one of you.

Besides, if there's a problem here, Commander and their special operations team will come over.

All of you, keep a close watch!” Xiao Chen said with a stern face and a low shout.

Hearing their Company Commander's voice, none of them dared to speak again.

During this past month, Ye Liuyun's bravery had quietly taken a place in everyone's hearts.

After scolding everyone, Xiao Chen rubbed his head. Let alone them, even he felt a bit unsure without Ye Liuyun...

The so-called special operations team had set up a temporary office area behind each defense zone.

Commander Zhao Donglai, Deputy Commander Xu Feng, Chief of Staff Ming Xingguo, plus Ye Liuyun, a total of four people.

Among them, Zhao Donglai was a Fourth-Tier Intermediate Tianli System Martial Artist, and Ming Xingguo was a Fourth-Tier Elementary Mental System Martial Artist.

Xu Feng was a Third-Tier Advanced Tianli System Martial Artist.

This was already all the high-end combat power of the entire 98th Battle Group.

“Ye Liuyun, you'll be starting university in another month, right?” Zhao Donglai asked, leaning back in his chair with a water cup.

“Yes, Commander. I'll report in at the end of August.”

“Good. You, young man, are a fine blade. Come join the army after you graduate from National Martial Arts University. The army suits you.”

Zhao Donglai's usually expressionless face broke into a smile. Ye Liuyun had already shown extremely high psychological quality and combat readiness at this age.

Joining the army meant boundless prospects for his future.

“Oh, right. I have a cousin who teaches at National Martial Arts University. If you go there and don't know anyone, you can look for him.” Ming Xingguo said, looking at Ye Liuyun.

“Chief of Staff, what are you talking about? He's ranked third in the entire country; I estimate people would be lining up to be his teacher.”

Xu Feng joined the discussion.

“Thank you, Chief of Staff, but I probably won't need to. When the National Martial Arts University admissions director came, he said their honorary Chancellor, Wang Mang, wants to take me as his disciple.”

Whoosh——

The three of them simultaneously stood up and looked at the innocent-faced Ye Liuyun.

“Marshal Wang?”

“One of the Grand Marshals of the Northern War Zone?”

“A Ninth-Tier powerhouse?”

Looking at the three of them, Ye Liuyun scratched his head, “I think so.”

The three exchanged glances, their eyes filled with shock. They had truly been worrying for nothing.

A Ninth-Tier big shot personally taking a disciple.

Ming Xingguo felt even more bitter. He had told Ye Liuyun to find his cousin if he needed anything. How ridiculous!

It should be his cousin who needed to find Ye Liuyun, that was more like it.

“Tsk tsk, with this connection, why didn't you go to the Northern Front? Instead, you came to the Eastern Front?”

“I haven't formally acknowledged him as my Master yet, have I? Besides, this was arranged by my adopted father.”

Hiss——

The three of them again collectively drew a sharp breath.

A high-ranking official of Great Xia was his adopted father, and a big shot in the army would be his Master in the future. Coupled with Ye Liuyun's own outstanding talent, his achievements would be limitless.

“Little Ye, you said I was your Chief Examiner and the one who guided you to the front line. If I ask for your help in the future, you can't refuse, okay?” Xu Feng looked at Ye Liuyun with exaggerated earnestness.

“Leaders, rest assured, as long as there's anything I can help with in the future, just say the word.” Ye Liuyun patted his chest.

After spending this time together, these few people present were all simple-minded individuals, without much ulterior motive or calculation. If something truly came up in the future, he would genuinely be happy to help.

“Hahahahaha, alright, I'll remember that.” Xu Feng and Zhao Donglai exchanged smiles.

Before their voices faded.

The ground began to vibrate violently, and the water cup on the office desk trembled and fell to the floor!

Red alarm lights, accompanied by piercing sounds, echoed throughout the entire Eastern Front.

Clap clap clap clap——

The searchlights in the defense zone lit up one after another, illuminating the sky in an instant.

“Large-scale beast tide approaching, please prepare for battle.”

An electronic voice mixed with the alarm sounded.

Zhao Donglai and the others immediately stood up, their expressions changing drastically.

“Damn it, they won't even let people rest at night. Notify all First-Tier Martial Artists and above in the regiment to go to the front line and prepare.” Zhao Donglai growled.

This beast tide came too quickly. If they only prepared tomorrow, it would be a catastrophic destruction.

Ye Liuyun gazed at the front line of the defense zone. In the distant darkness, screeches sent shivers down his spine.

Night had a natural advantage for Vicious Beasts.

Their position was the central axis of the defense line; no matter which part couldn't hold, they could rush over at the fastest speed.

After the AI's reminder ended, a sky full of blue artillery fire from behind swept across the night sky, bombarding the beast tide in the darkness.

This was the Kunlun Heavy Cannon, a heavy firepower weapon developed by Great Xia after the Great Era, specifically for beast tides.

It had strong power, fast speed, large coverage, and armor-piercing effects. Vicious Beasts below First-Tier simply couldn't withstand it!

Unique to Great Xia!

General small-scale beast tides were not worthy of its use; it consumed hundreds of millions per minute.

A steel-devouring beast.

Ye Liuyun looked at the dense artillery fire in the sky, unable to hide his shock. He had heard of the Kunlun Heavy Cannon since he arrived a few days ago, but he had never seen it.

Today, he finally saw it. With such power, he admitted that if he were within the artillery's coverage, it would be difficult to retreat unscathed.

It was too dense!

Zhao Donglai's gaze was solemn and grim. They were all veterans of the battlefield; the appearance of this thing meant that this beast tide had reached A-level.

There were Fourth-Tier existences!

“Everyone, get ready! We'll probably be up very soon!”

Zhao Donglai took a long spear from a nearby soldier's hand.

Ming Xingguo and Xu Feng picked up their weapons, ready for battle.

A saying circulated on the front line: when the Kunlun Heavy Cannon appears, life hangs by a thread.

A faint scent of blood, carried by a gentle breeze, instantly swept across the entire front line defense zone, like an invisible giant mouth slowly devouring the place.

Ye Liuyun narrowed his eyes, and sharp claws extended from his Storm Gauntlet.

He felt the solemnity of the people next to him.

A bloody battle was inevitable.

In the distant darkness.

Beams of light collided with the heavy artillery.

Second-Tier Vicious Beasts had made their move.

In Defense Zone 792, Xiao Chen held a large saber, and the eyes of the first row of Tianli System soldiers were fixed on the distance.

Fully focused, some young soldiers nervously swallowed their saliva.

A murderous aura emanated from Xiao Chen's brows.

“Today will be a tough fight, but don't worry, the Kunlun Heavy Cannon is out, and the Commander is behind us. Let's repel them, for Great Xia!”

“For Great Xia!”

Roars of anger echoed in the defense zone.
