Chapter 99: Rongcheng Defense Battle (Please Subscribe)

Rong City Sea Area.

Dozens of warships cut through the water, leaving white wakes as they sailed towards the Underwater Great Wall.

After learning that the assessment target was the Red Skull Devil Fanged Fish, tens of thousands of examinees were excited and cheered continuously.

On the main ship's deck, Gong Hong stood at the bow, clad in a large cloak. The roaring sea wind swept his hair back, revealing his weathered yet chiseled face.

This guardian of Rong City was in a good mood at the moment.

Yingtian Beast Taming Academy, as one of the four top academies in Dragon Country, enrolls only about two thousand students each year, making the spots extremely valuable!

In previous years, only one or two people from Rong City would manage to get in.

However, based on his observations the day before yesterday, if these examinees performed normally today, at least several of them should be able to pass.

Jiang Chen, Gong Hao, and Xie Enze were guaranteed to get in.

The three of them had spirit energy values that placed them in the top hundred of Lingnan Province, especially Jiang Chen, who reached third place, only slightly lower than the first and second place.

If these three couldn't get into Yingtian Beast Taming Academy, then no one else would stand a chance.

Wu Jun, Nie Huang, and Miao Feng should also be guaranteed.

Another person, Nangong Yan, whose spirit energy value exceeded 200 points, might be on the fence, possibly getting in or not, depending on his performance today...

“General, General!”

Mid-thought, Gong Hong was suddenly interrupted by a soldier rushing over anxiously, holding a palm-sized, exquisite Formation Plate!

“What is it?” Gong Hong frowned slightly.

“General, a large amount of spirit energy has suddenly appeared in the direction of Rong City, and the spirit energy value on the reconnaissance Formation Plate is skyrocketing!”

At the mention of Rong City, Gong Hong immediately seemed to transform. His back inexplicably straightened, and his eyes sharpened: “How many times has it been tested? How many reconnaissance Formation Plates were used?”

“As per your instructions, three reconnaissance Formation Plates were used for each, and each was probed three times. Each time, the value was higher!”

Gong Hong’s expression changed drastically, becoming extremely solemn, and he shouted: “Quickly activate the mobile communication light shadow seashell, and connect me to the Rong City garrison to inquire about the specific situation there!”

“Reporting, General, I have already tried, but it... it won’t connect!”

“What!?”

Gong Hong could no longer remain calm. His spirit energy erupted, and his feet created a dent in the deck as he directly leaped onto the highest observation deck of the warship, peering towards Rong City.

But at this moment, the warship fleet was more than ten kilometers away from Rong City. Besides barely being able to see a yellow coastline, Gong Hong could see nothing else!

“Whoosh!!!”

Just as Gong Hong was gazing towards Rong City, a sharp, piercing roar suddenly seemed to drift faintly from the sky behind him, carried by the sea wind!

Gong Hong spun around abruptly, only to see a crimson light spot suddenly appear at the junction of the sea and sky in the direction of the Underwater Great Wall!

It was like a crimson star!

Impossible!

Gong Hong immediately dismissed it. How could there be a star in broad daylight, and a red one at that!

“General, General Sima Yuan from the front line has an urgent message!!!”

Just as Gong Hong was in a state of alarm, another soldier rushed out of the cabin anxiously.

“Bang!”

Gong Hong directly jumped down from the observation tower several tens of meters high, like a meteorite landing, creating a one-meter deep crater in the thick deck!

The moment Gong Hong landed, he shot out of the crater like a flash of lightning. He quickly took the mobile communication light shadow seashell from the soldier’s hand and swiftly pressed to connect.

“Boom boom boom!!!”

“Roar roar roar!!!”

“Kill, kill!!!”

As soon as the mobile communication light shadow seashell connected, the scene from Sima Yuan's side on the front line immediately appeared before Gong Hong!

The front line was already engulfed in war, with countless sea beasts swarming towards the Underwater Great Wall like an ant colony!

Gong Hong was shocked; the front line had already begun fighting!

“General Gong Hong, I order you to immediately return at full speed, return at full speed!”

As soon as the video call connected, Sima Yuan immediately roared with bloodshot eyes: “The Red Skull Devil Fanged Fish army has launched a Red Devil Destruction Cannon with a diameter of a hundred meters towards your Rong City, using Formation Disk Fish!”

Sima Yuan roared, turning the video call camera towards the Formation Disk Fish above the sea beast army and the Red Skull Devil Fanged Fish army that was gathering strength, preparing to launch a second wave of attack!

“The first Red Devil Destruction Cannon has already been launched, reaching a speed of 2 times the speed of sound. It is estimated to reach the sky above your Rong City in 4 and a half minutes!”

“For such an ultra-long-range attack, your Rong City must have a Guidance Formation Array for precise targeting. You must stop it at all costs!”

“Whoosh whoosh!!”

“Boom!”

No sooner had Sima Yuan finished speaking than the Red Skull Devil Fanged Fish army launched another attack!

In Gong Hong's utterly horrified gaze, another Red Devil Destruction Cannon, accelerated by the Formation Disk Fish, immediately reached a terrifying 2 times the speed of sound, majestically shooting into the sky, instantly transforming into a red meteor!

“Quick!”

“Quickly, damn it, return to defense! The lives of millions in Rong City are all in your hands!”

In the video communication, Sima Yuan roared ferociously, his eyes bloodshot like a demon: “Rong City is yours. I’m going to kill these beasts now, otherwise they will continue to gather strength and target other human cities, understand?!”

“Understood!!!”

...“By the way, if I get into Yingtian Beast Taming Academy, what about the Class Teacher?”

On the warship, the examinees were still immersed in the joy of attacking the Red Skull Devil Fanged Fish, but Jiang Chen ignored them, sitting alone in his seat, silently cultivating.

However, halfway through his cultivation, Jiang Chen suddenly thought of an important question.

Jian Qingqiu said she needed to help him cultivate the Lighthouse Jellyfish pet shop every Sunday. So, would he have to rush back from Yingtian Beast Taming Academy every weekend?

Traveling a thousand miles for a beautiful woman’s appointment?

It sounded very romantic, but it would probably be exhausting!

After all, Yingtian Beast Taming Academy stood on the Southern Border Great Wall, a full 187 kilometers from Ningshui Town!

Even if he could fly at the speed of sound, 340 meters per second, it would still take 9 minutes...

“Hiss!!!”

Just then, the warship, which had been sailing smoothly, suddenly slammed on its brakes, causing all the examinees who were excitedly celebrating to be caught off guard and lurch forward!

At the critical moment, Jiang Chen's right hand shot out and grabbed the armrest of his seat. His lunging body immediately became motionless, as if nailed to the seat!

At that moment, everyone in the cabin was thrown around, dizzy and stumbling, yet only Jiang Chen remained stable and unharmed.

For a Body Refiner, this kind of situation was child's play.

“Damn it!”

“What... what’s going on?”

“Why did the ship suddenly stop?!”

“Crap, my nose is bleeding!”

“...”

“Thump thump thump!”

Ignoring the passengers’ wails, the dozens of warships, after the emergency brake, immediately swung their bows sharply. After carving a large arc on the sea surface, they returned to Rong City!

Moreover, the warships continuously accelerated, getting faster and faster. The waves split by the bow splashed into the cabin, and the warships also began to violently pitch and roll.

The sudden change left all the examinees and accompanying soldiers bewildered. Had they been intercepted?

“Static! Attention all examinees, this is Gong Hong!”

Just as all the examinees were cursing, the warship’s broadcast came on, and a suppressed, low voice echoed through the speakers!

“I'm sure everyone has noticed the change in the warship’s course. From this moment on, I, Gong Hong, announce that the target of this year’s College Entrance Examination’s third practical assessment has been changed!”

“From attacking the Red Skull Devil Fanged Fish tribe, it is officially changed to the Rongcheng Defense Battle!”

“Whoosh!!!”

As soon as Gong Hong’s voice fell, all the examinees first fell silent, then erupted into a roar!

Gong Hong’s low voice continued to emanate from the broadcast: “I have some very unfortunate news for everyone, according to messages from the front line.”

“The Red Skull Devil Fanged Fish army, concentrating the power of an entire army, and further amplified by an extremely rare Formation Disk Fish Magic Array, has launched a terrifying Red Devil Destruction Cannon with a diameter of one hundred meters towards our Rong City!”

“This Red Devil Destruction Cannon has a terrifying speed of two times the speed of sound, and it will reach the sky above Rong City in just 4 and a half minutes!”

“For such an ultra-long-range attack, it’s impossible for the Red Skull Devil Fanged Fish army to aim accurately. Therefore, there must be a Red Skull Devil Fanged Fish Guidance Formation Array and army present in Rong City!”

“So your goal is to destroy this Guidance Formation Array and protect the safety of Rong City!”

“I know this demand is cruel, cold, and ruthless for you, with an average age of only 18.”

“But my dear students, the millions of people in Rong City, your families, your friends, your teachers, are all there right now!”

“The Red Skull Devil Fanged Fish army not only attacked Rong City but also other cities!”

“In 4 and a half minutes, such a short amount of time, we can no longer rely on others; we can only rely on ourselves!”

“Once the Red Devil Destruction Cannon falls, millions of living lives will be completely wiped out, ceasing to exist on the Dragon Country map!”

“I, Gong Hong, swear here that I will lead the soldiers to charge on the front line and never retreat!”

“Please, everyone—”

“Fight alongside me, charge with me!”
