145: Chapter 145 Fellow villager, don't panic

A beast tide of hundreds of thousands of exotic beasts roared to life, crushing the dust along the way as they steadily advanced toward Tianzhong City in the south.

Garrison Commander Wang Yufeng, standing on the city walls, watched the monstrous army recede into the distance, the shock in his chest refusing to subside for a long time.

It took him a long while to compose himself, suppressing the awe in his eyes, not daring to delay for even a second.

He immediately turned and descended the city walls, hurrying back to the garrison headquarters within the city.

He knew with absolute clarity.

The every move of that person just now, along with this army of exotic beasts capable of overturning all military power in the world, was absolutely a top-tier event that would shake the world.

This matter had to be reported immediately to the Haidong Army headquarters and to Commander Shi Haidong, who was in Tianzhong City.

The moment he stepped into the headquarters, Garrison Commander Wang Yufeng gave an order in a deep voice.

"Connect to the central encrypted radio, highest priority, direct transmission to the Tianzhong headquarters!"

The on-duty signalman did not dare to hesitate, immediately tuning the new radio equipment, the crackling static of electric currents constantly resounding in the communications room.

Garrison Commander Wang Yufeng stood to the side, clearly dictating the entire sequence of events.

"Tianzhong Headquarters, urgent report from Fanghui City."

"A person with a pair of white wings has suddenly appeared in Fanghui City, possessing unfathomable strength; it is suspected that an Immortal has descended into the world."

"He controls a beast tide of hundreds of thousands; the exotic beasts are exceptionally ferocious and enormous in size, with flying beasts that blot out the sky. Their combat power crushes all military forces in the current world."

"This expert has already led the entire beast tide, marching at full speed toward Tianzhong City in the south, pointing directly at the location of the coronation in the imperial capital! I hope you make preparations early!"

The moment the encrypted radio wave was sent, it was detected by the Robot Commander under Mo Yufei, who had deployed a region-wide electromagnetic blockade.

All frequency bands, all secret telegrams, and all military communications were under control.

The tactical Robot Commander with a metallic body instantly lit up with blue light, and a cold, flat mechanical voice sounded.

"Detected high-level encrypted military radio wave."

"Signal source: Fanghui City garrison military headquarters."

"Starting decryption!"

A mere three seconds.

The layered encryption of the Haidong Army military headquarters was broken in an instant.

The original full text of the telegram and location parameters were projected and analyzed without any omissions.

The System automatically verified it: the content was authentic, not tampered with, not forged, and was the highest-level urgent report from the garrison.

The next instant.

All intelligence was synchronized via the regional network link directly into the wristband of Mo Yufei, who was on Dabai's back.

Benboba flapped its wings, flying beside Mo Yufei, and after seeing through the whole situation, immediately started grumbling.

"It's over, it's over. Garrison Commander Wang Yufeng is truly too sensible; he's reported our route to Tianzhong to Commander Shi Haidong."

"Now that bastard will definitely get wind of it and know in advance that someone is going to crash his coronation ceremony."

"Boss, this guy is ridiculously scheming; will he just grease his soles and slip away?"

Mo Yufei looked down at the torrent of hundreds of thousands of exotic beasts in the beast tide marching south, his expression calm without a ripple.

He clearly knew every word of the telegram, and he also knew all of Commander Shi Haidong's current layout.

Run?

Mo Yufei's lips curled slightly, revealing a faint coldness.

"He cannot escape."

"Commander Shi Haidong, unless he abandons this world and jumps out of the shackles of the plane, there is no way for him to escape."

Benboba tilted its head: "Then will he defend Tianzhong to the death? Relying on those fighter jets, heavy artillery, and armor of his, to go head-to-head with our beast tide?"

Mo Yufei's gaze fell far away to the imperial capital in the south, which was decorated with lanterns and festoons.

At this moment, Tianzhong City was filled with the prosperous atmosphere of a new founding dynasty.

Red carpets were laid out all over the city, the masses waited along the streets, and all officials worked day and night to prepare for the ceremony.

Tomorrow was the day Commander Shi Haidong would ascend the throne as emperor, bind the national destiny of the world, and reach the Supreme position.

Inside the palace hall.

Commander Shi Haidong wore a gilded Dragon-patterned brocade robe, sitting upright in the high seat, his demeanor graceful, with ambition hidden between his brows and eyes.

Prominent people from all sides stood on both sides, with endless congratulations ringing in his ears.

He had endured and nurtured chaos for several years, watching the mountains and rivers sink into ruin.

Only when the masses were in total despair did he come out to save the world.

By borrowing the desperate situation of the chaotic times, he reaped monstrous Prestige System points; by borrowing the devastation of war, he laid the Foundation for his imperial career.

He expelled the old warlords, forced back the main force of the Japanese Invaders, and sat upon the strongest military equipment in the world.

Step by step, he calculated the hearts of the people of the world, and he calculated the structure of the chaotic times.

Only the last step remained: ascending the throne to establish the nation, having the national destiny return to him, and ensuring his imperial career was forever secure.

Commander Shi Haidong was high-spirited in his heart, believing that the whole situation was entirely under his control.

In this world, no person or force could stop him from ascending to the throne.

But he had no idea.

The urgent report he was about to receive would completely tear apart his flawless myth of saving the world.

Nor would he know.

All his secret military intelligence, all deployment plans, and all city defenses had been intercepted and decrypted by Mo Yufei the moment they were sent.

He was in the open.

Mo Yufei was also in the open.

All his struggles were completely exposed under his eyes.

Mo Yufei spoke indifferently, his tone calm, yet carrying an absolutely crushing certainty.

"He won't run. He has planned for so long, watching China bleed, letting the masses suffer."

"All for the sake of success today and proclaiming himself emperor tomorrow."

"The empire is in sight, the national destiny is in his hands, and his lifelong calculations are within reach."

"At a time like this, he cannot bear to leave."

Benboba clicked its tongue twice: "A greedy dog, knowing that disaster is imminent, yet still insisting on holding on."

"Then should we speed up, kill our way over there directly, and blow up his ceremony?"

Mo Yufei shook his head lightly.

"No rush."

"Let him receive the news."

"Let him panic."

"Let him exhaust the military power of the entire nation, deploy all defenses, and put on his strongest stance."

"I want him, on the eve of his coronation at his very Peak, to watch with his own eyes as the imperial career he planned for a lifetime crumbles to nothing bit by bit."

Meanwhile.

At the Tianzhong palace, the urgent military intelligence finally penetrated layers of lines and was delivered into the palace hall.

Right in the midst of this hustle and bustle, a guard covered in dust and breathing frantically broke through the crowd, stumbled into the hall, knelt heavily, and spoke with a voice trembling and heart-wrenching.

"Urgent report! Unusual movement in Fanghui City! A man with flying wings is leading an army of hundreds of thousands of exotic beasts, the entire army is heading south, killing straight toward Tianzhong!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole hall was in an uproar.

The laughter of all the warlords, generals, and local bigwigs stopped abruptly, and their hardened faces, seasoned by slaughter, were instantly covered with heavy astonishment.

But only Commander Shi Haidong, standing at the very front, suddenly stiffened, his pupils contracting violently.

The imperial composure on his face, which had been sure of victory and looking down on the world, shattered instantly.

A monstrous wave rose in his heart, and his mind was filled with unbelievable suspicion.

Beast tide? What beast tide?

He knew the underlying rules of this world better than anyone.

This was a thoroughly low-martial, Mortal plane.

No Immortal techniques, no Supernatural Ability, no monsters, no supernatural oddities of any kind.

Since he arrived in this world and activated the Prestige System, he was certain that there were only Mortals, war, power struggles, and guns here.

In this world, it was fundamentally impossible for exotic beasts to be born, let alone a terrifying beast tide on the scale of hundreds of thousands!

A low-martial world, a world without Supernatural Ability.

Where did the exotic beasts come from? Where did the beast tide come from?

Commander Shi Haidong's heart trembled violently, and his mind deduced frantically.

Could it be... besides him, another new Transmigration person has descended into this world?

What exactly is going on with this plane?

Having me, a protagonist of destiny favored by the Heavenly Dao and equipped with a System, is that not enough?

Why would a second kind of weird power that transcends common sense appear!

In a few short seconds, countless thoughts of suspicion, apprehension, and unease surged wildly, completely disrupting his imperial mindset of careful planning.

Not daring to delay a single bit, Commander Shi Haidong immediately calmed his mind and communicated with his own System Sea of Consciousness.

He instantly mobilized the near-Earth orbit reconnaissance satellite that he had exchanged for in advance, which had cost a massive amount of Prestige System points.

At the same time, he issued a highest-authority command, releasing hundreds of high-altitude stealth reconnaissance drones to penetrate the hundred-mile airspace, rush to the battlefield location at full speed, and investigate the truth in all directions.

He had to figure out what the origin of this sudden beast tide was.

Inside the palace hall, all the warlords and generals were still discussing it, just thinking it was an infestation of wild beasts bred in some deep mountain, and did not take it to heart.

But hundreds of miles away.

Mo Yufei listened to the intelligence on the mobilization of the entire city of Tianzhong, which was synchronized from the Robot Commander in his mind, and listened to every military order that Commander Shi Haidong issued in a panic.

Only indifference remained in his eyes.

He knew.

Commander Shi Haidong was already panicked.

But everything was too late.

Mo Yufei gave an order in a deep voice.

"The whole army continues to advance steadily to the south."

"Press toward Tianzhong."

Hundreds of thousands of exotic beasts shook the earth together.

Black clouds blotted out the sun, and the beast tide was monstrous.
