Chapter 582 A Fighter

The st.u.r.dy barricades beneath the fortress wall kept the incoming beast tide at bay. The single-horned rhinoceros charging at the front row used its long horn to push against the barricades, but their speed of advancement was extremely slow.

The steel barricades were slowly pushed forward, leaving deep ravines in the soil.

On the fortress walls, Zhao Yan looked down at the situation below. He immediately revealed a pleasantly surprised expression as his eyes widened.

!!

“This is great! Our defense is a success! Although this beast tide comprises mostly larger beasts, our steel barricades can still stop them from advancing!”

Lin Shu heaved a sigh of relief and said, “It’s great that we can finally catch our breath. Next, let’s deal with the ones in the air, and our victory is in our hands!”

Nearly a thousand of these fierce beasts flew in the air, and many were giant eagles. At that moment, they all plunged and swooped down from the sky.

In the stronghold, all soldiers were on high alert. They took out their weapons and made their final preparations.

“From now on, the outcome will be decided by us. We’ve dealt with countless beast tides, and dealing with one more will be a piece of cake. Everyone, listen up! Let the battle begin!”

Zhao Yan picked up his walkie-talkie, switched to the public channel, and shouted at the top of his voice.

Every soldier who heard Zhao Yan’s order let out a deafening roar.

Whoosh!

The next moment, those flying raptors swooped down on the soldiers.

Giant eagles landed with a loud bang, sending dust clouds into the air.

When the dust dispersed, everyone saw the eagles’ sharp claws had trampled two people to death. The body of a typical adult was not even as large as its razor-sharp claws.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Giant eagles landed one after another, followed by all kinds of other birds, such as vultures and falcons.

The combat power of these birds on land would be significantly reduced as they could only display their full strength in the air.

It was precisely this point that gave Zhao Yan confidence. As long as the other beasts couldn’t break in from the outside, it was only a matter of time before they killed all these birds.

These birds swooped down, trying to disrupt their internal affairs and make it easier for the outside beasts to attack.

Because of this, Zhao Yan was worried about the situation outside. Their external defense had achieved a decent result, so he hoped their internal crisis could be resolved quickly.

In the stronghold, Lu Yu and the others were still sitting on the public bench. Some of them had their legs crossed, some were shaking their legs, and some were playing with their phones as if the battle around them had nothing to do with them.

If a bird attacked them, Han Xuefei would take action and kill it.

Xu Yuan looked around and saw that many soldiers had died, and he immediately began to hesitate.

“Why don’t we join the battle? Otherwise, our losses will continue to increase.”

Lu Yu also saw the dead people around him, but he didn’t care much about them. He looked at Xu Yuan and shook his head.

“If we want to make a move, we’ll have to get Zhao Yan to invite us over personally. Otherwise, we’ll just sit here and wait!”

Xu Yuan took a deep breath and nodded his head. Although he didn’t wish to see so many people die before him, all of this was Zhao Yan’s responsibility. His self-confidence required the lives of soldiers to pay for it.

“It’s true that he said he didn’t need our help and could solve this crisis alone. We rushed here, but we were left on a cold bench.” Xu Yuan shrugged helplessly and continued to sit in the same place.

The battle in their surroundings grew increasingly intense, and the number of casualties gradually increased. The cries of battle and the howls of despair before the soldier’s death could be heard everywhere.

This was war, and the scene before them was h.e.l.l.

The battle against the beast tide was clearly not going well.

In terms of numbers, the number of beasts was much lower than in their previous experience, but these beasts’ combat power was shockingly strong.

On the fortress wall, Zhao Yan looked at the battle situation in the stronghold. He couldn’t help but become nervous, and his fists slowly clenched.

“The battle situation isn’t looking too good. How did this happen?”

Zhao Yan swept his gaze across the battlefield and discovered that the combat power of these birds on land wasn’t weak. This was especially so for those giant eagles, who could kill a person with a single swipe of their claws!

Standing next to him, Lin Shu quickly asked, “Captain, the situation isn’t looking good. What should we do next?”

At that moment, Zhao Yan had no other choice. The only thing he could do was prepare for battle personally. He would fight against the beast tide with his soldiers.

But if he joined them, it would be of little use.

Zhao Yan glanced at Lu Yu and the others sitting on a bench. Seeing their carefree expressions made Zhao Yan feel even more uncomfortable.

“I can’t lose. If I lose, my reputation will be completely swept to the ground. I’ve been through hundreds of battles in the northern warzone. How can I lose here!”

Lin Shu knew what Zhao Yan was thinking, so she consoled him, “We will defeat the enemy. Even if we can’t defeat them, as long as we can delay them until our fighters return, we will still emerge victorious!”

Zhao Yan fixed his eyes on Lin Shu, and in the next moment, a look of surprise appeared on his face. “That’s right. We have a powerful fighter on our team. As long as he returns, our worries will be solved!”

Zhao Yan hurriedly continued, “As long as he returns, our defense will be fortified. He alone should be able to help us relieve a lot of pressure. By that time, our strength will be sufficient to repel the beast tide!”

“It’s just that he has been out cultivating for a week… It’s hard to say if he’ll be able to return in time.”

“Go to the communication room and search for his signal. We must contact him!”

Lin Shu glanced at the fortress walls and said, “The communication room should still operate normally. I’ll use the radio to contact him…”

Lin Shu took a step to the side and took out her walkie-talkie.

At that moment, Zhao Yan couldn’t help but rub his palms together in excitement. A spark of hope was reignited in his heart.

“Those in the military’s special forces are all as fierce as tigers and have a strong desire for a challenge. He can easily tear this beast tide to pieces if he can come back. His strength is much stronger than Lu Yu and the others!”

“Seriously, I already have someone that strong in my team; why bother thinking of using my intelligence to fight against these beasts? How troublesome.”

Zhao Yan laughed in a relaxed manner. The heavy burden in his heart was lifted.

Just then, a soldier appeared and interrupted his joy.

“Captain, quick! Quickly look down! The beast tide is about to break through our defense!” The soldier shouted in a panicked tone.

Zhao Yan’s expression turned grave. “What nonsense are you talking about? That is absolutely impossible! They are blocked by our barricades!”
