41: God of war posture
This terrifying Level 3 Beast Tide came and went just as quickly.
Although the sacrifices in this battle were great, the number of monsters slain and materials harvested far exceeded that.
The human side could be said to have achieved a complete victory.
When the news of successfully fending off the Level 3 Beast Tide reached the Ninth Army Base, countless people cheered.
The martial artists spread the word, and soon this good news had spread throughout the entire base.
For a time, the supply base became incredibly lively.
Almost all martial artists in any setting were discussing this victory—the trading hall, the cafeteria, the dormitories... even some relaxation venues, everyone treated it as a topic of conversation, not feeling annoyed in the slightest.
Even the other armies of the Jingji Garrison celebrated, as this was not just a victory for the Ninth Army's War Dragon Group.
It was a great victory for Kyoto Base City!
In recent years, there have been countless large-scale battles between humans and monsters, with an unknown level of brutality.
And even so, humans have won far fewer battles than they have lost, with unimaginable levels of casualties.
Accumulated failures caused some initially proactive strategists to become silent and doubtful.
During that time, the shadow of failure spread wildly, almost covering half the world.
Some high-level leaders even wanted to initiate a seed plan, abandoning Earth and seeking another way out.
It wasn't until the appearance of Hong and Thunder God that a glimmer of hope was brought to this dark world, and everyone no longer faced the monsters with such pessimism.
Therefore, every great human victory served as a shot in the arm, bringing some hope to the surviving nations across the world.
Just like the defensive counterattack at Hongning Base City, the great victory of the War Dragon Group also spread across the world with the speed of a storm... Within ten minutes of the battle's end, the Jingji Garrison Headquarters directly issued commendations, awarding all soldiers and martial artists who participated in resisting the Beast Tide.
These rewards were not only generous sums of money but also genetic serums and new-style battle armor.
As long as they were soldiers or martial artists capable of resisting monsters, the Jingji Garrison always treated everyone equally, without any prejudice.
This is also why, when facing the Beast Tide, a fifteenth of the martial artist warriors rushed to provide support.
Not only because the rewards offered by the Garrison were exceptionally high and generous.
But also because the besieged War Dragon Group and Dragon Breath Squad were their brothers and their vanguard defense line.
As for those warriors and martial artists who sacrificed their lives in the Beast Tide.
The Jingji Garrison Headquarters also provided high-value pensions, and these pensions and benefits were transferred to their relatives.
The posthumous affairs of martyrs have always been a key focus of the entire Jingji Garrison.
Ensuring that warriors can fight on the battlefield with peace of mind, without any worries.
Because only in this way will warriors be willing to fight to the death in battles against monsters.
Subsequent supplies and filling of vacancies for the War Dragon Group's base were also being carried out intensely.
As the vanguard base of the Ninth Army, War Dragon Fortress was not only an outpost but also the first line of defense against Beast Tides.
Its existence directly meant whether the entire northern defense line of the Ninth Army was stable.
Furthermore, within a radius of four to five hundred kilometers of War Dragon Fortress, there were over a hundred small martial artist bases.
They were similar to Base 0231, jointly garrisoned by companies and some martial artists, serving as advance troops for each regiment.
Once any disturbance was detected in the wilderness, it would be immediately reported to headquarters.
Due to the small scale of these minor bases, they generally dared not venture deep into the wilderness.
Otherwise, just two high-level monsters could wipe them out.
They relied on their respective defense lines, forming a cohesive whole.
As long as no particularly urgent situation was encountered, they were generally able to reinforce each other.
Except for the large-scale Beast Tide that occurred at Base 0231 last time, even High-level Beast Generals were mobilized.
It was also that afternoon when Chen Fan returned to the supply base by heavy truck.
On the way back, Chen Fan was surrounded by many martial artists.
They enthusiastically introduced themselves to Chen Fan, wanting to get acquainted.
The reason was none other than this:
He performed exceptionally well on the battlefield, single-handedly slaying numerous Beast Generals with two blades, and managing to retreat unscathed.
Many of them had followed around Chen Fan and thus picked up a lot of spoils of war.
At this moment, in the eyes of these martial artists who worshipped strength, Chen Fan was nothing short of a rising, shining star.
Such a young Advanced War General would undoubtedly possess the potential to become a God of War in the future.
The martial artists silently pondered in their hearts whether there were any single, high-quality girls nearby who weren't yet married, to introduce to Chen Fan.
Despite being surrounded by admirers, Chen Fan showed no trace of complacency, instead politely answering while meticulously organizing the materials from this major battle—
The most precious black fangs from twenty-five Low-level Beast Generals, thirteen Mid-level Beast Generals, and four High-level Beast Generals were all carefully wrapped by Chen Fan.
As for the other half of the materials from these Beast Generals, Chen Fan left them behind as usual.
One reason was that his backpack space was insufficient to carry too much.
Another was that Chen Fan's combat power was already sufficient, and killing Beast General-level monsters was no longer strenuous.
According to Chen Fan's own estimation, after this major battle, his strength was already very close to that of a High-level General.
However, how much more he needed would only be known after a fist-power test to get a specific value.
"Big Brother, hello!"
Chen Fan was contemplating something when a greeting suddenly interrupted his thoughts.
Chen Fan turned his head. Not far away, a handsome young man was enthusiastically waving at him, introducing himself as if they were old friends:
"Big Brother, hello, my name is Wang Teng, from the Wang family of Kyoto Base City. I greatly admire you."
"Hello, Wang Teng. I am Chen Fan."
Chen Fan nodded slightly at Wang Teng in response.
Chen Fan wasn't very familiar with this guy, so he could only speak very politely.
Wang Teng, however, was the complete opposite.
On the battlefield, since Wang Teng was not far from Chen Fan.
He had thus picked up many monster materials that Chen Fan had deliberately left behind.
Along the way, after Chen Fan dealt with the more dangerous monsters, he left a lot of room for Wang Teng to perform.
Some mere Low- and Mid-level Beast Soldiers were nothing to Wang Teng.
This was Wang Teng's first real battle since the Monster Town combat assessment.
So this battle was very important to Wang Teng.
Not only did he fight and kill monsters face-to-face, but he also slew many monsters in succession.
For a time, Wang Teng's confidence surged, laying a solid foundation and strong self-assurance for his future path in martial arts.
At the same time, Wang Teng also set a new goal in his heart—Chen Fan.
When one receives a favor, it should be remembered!
This was a tradition of the Wang family, and it was firmly etched in the heart of this promising young man, Wang Teng.
More importantly, Wang Teng regarded Chen Fan as his goal and spiritual monument.
Chen Fan looked at the excited Wang Teng, smiled slightly, patted his shoulder, and said:
"I see you have an extraordinary physique, with the potential to become a God of War!!"
"Thank you, Fan-ge!"
Receiving praise from his idol, Wang Teng was momentarily overly excited and didn't know what to say.
Finally, Wang Teng said with a slightly flushed face:
"If Fan-ge and all the brothers don't mind, I'll host tonight at Kyoto Platinum Hanam. Let's drink until we're drunk."
"Any princess you choose, I'll cover it all!!!"
For a moment, the carriage fell silent, with only the sound of the wheels rubbing against the ground.
Many martial artists: "...I didn't expect you to be like this, Wang Teng."
After a long while, the atmosphere in the carriage slowly returned to normal.
"I want two!!"
An excited voice broke the awkwardness and silence.
His words were like a spark thrown onto a pile of dry kindling, instantly igniting a towering flame.
"I want three!!"
"I want twelve!!"
"..."
