Chapter 46 One person rushes to the aid of Fortress 9
"I understand." Ye Feng took the car keys from his adjutant and turned to walk towards the SUV.
Zhao Jun hesitated for a moment, then called out, "Major Ye!"
Ye Feng stopped in his tracks.
"If you feel you can't hold on any longer, then retreat." Zhao Jun's voice was serious. "Fortress Nine is important, but you are more important. A person like you shouldn't die in a place like this."
Ye Feng was silent for two seconds, then opened the car door.
"I will not die!"
He got into the driver's seat and started the engine.
The off-road vehicle roared out of Fort No. 5 and sped off towards Fort No. 9.
Zhao Jun stood on the city wall, watching the off-road vehicle disappear into the wilderness.
"This young man..." he muttered to himself, "Just who is he?"
"But no matter where we come from, we must survive!"
……
Meanwhile, in the Jiangcheng command center.
On the huge screen, the live feed from Fortress No. 5 had plunged the entire hall into an eerie silence.
Cao Keyuan, the town's garrison commander, sat in his chair, tapping his fingers lightly on the table, his eyes fixed on the black figure on the screen.
He had watched the scene of that young man chasing after tens of thousands of strange beasts three times over.
Each time he watched it, he was deeply moved.
"Commander Cao." The chief of staff's voice broke the silence.
"Battle report from Fortress No. 5 confirmed: Ye Feng killed more than two thousand alien beasts during the pursuit."
"This includes the fourth-tier beast king, the Thunder Griffin."
"The beast tide at Fortress 5 has now completely collapsed."
"I know." Cao Keyuan's voice was calm, but the frequency of his tapping on the table betrayed his shock.
"There's one more thing..." The chief of staff hesitated for a moment, "Ye Feng has left Fortress Five and is heading to Fortress Nine."
Cao Keyuan suddenly stopped tapping on the table.
"What did you say?"
"He's going to Fortress Nine," the chief of staff repeated. "And according to Zhao Jun's report, Ye Feng seems to be in good condition and has refused suggestions for rest and resupply."
Whispers filled the hall again.
"Is he crazy? He's already fought two tough battles and he wants to go for a third?"
"Those are five fourth-tier beast kings!"
"Isn't this young man getting a bit too arrogant?"
Cao Keyuan raised his hand to stop the murmurs.
He stared at the young face on the screen and remained silent for a long time.
"Contact Director Zhou of the Night Watch," he finally spoke. "I need to know what cards this Ye Feng has up his sleeve."
"Also, send a message to Fortress Nine! Tell them that reinforcements are arriving soon, and to hold on."
The chief of staff hesitated for a moment: "But the reinforcements from Fortress Three to Fortress Nine won't arrive for another hour!"
Fortress No. 3 was where the main force set off, but it was attacked by alien beasts from time to time, making its journey very slow.
"The reinforcements I'm talking about aren't the people from Fortress Three," Cao Keyuan said, his gaze falling on the screen. "They're that young man."
"Tell Fortress Nine that even if we have to fight to the last man, we must hold out until Ye Feng arrives."
"This person is their only reinforcement."
……
Fortress No. 9.
War raged.
This is the largest of the three fortresses, with the most troops stationed there, but it is also the one most severely damaged at this moment.
Three huge breaches have appeared in the eastern city wall, and the soldiers are using their own bodies to block them, desperately trying to stop the monsters from pouring in.
The corpses of the strange beasts piled up like mountains beneath the city walls, but the surviving beasts continued their charge, stepping over the bodies of their fallen comrades.
Liu, the garrison commander of Liucheng, stood on the city wall, his face covered in blood.
His left arm was simply bandaged, and blood was still seeping through the bandage.
It was a deep, bone-revealing wound left on his arm by a third-tier beast.
But he simply didn't have time to deal with it.
"The breach on the west side has widened again! Requesting reinforcements!"
"We only have 10% ammunition left! At this rate, we'll run out of ammunition in half an hour!"
"The number of Tier 3 beasts is increasing; our warriors can't hold on much longer!"
As one piece of bad news after another arrived, Liu Cheng's face grew increasingly grim.
He looked up into the distance, where five enormous figures stood.
A fourth-tier beast king!
Five in total!
They are watching and waiting.
Once humanity's defenses have completely collapsed, they will take matters into their own hands and raze the fortress to the ground.
"Shou Liu!" A communications soldier stumbled over, "Call from Fortress Five!"
Liu Cheng frowned: "Speak!"
"The beast tide at Fortress Five has been defeated! A Night Watch Major named Ye Feng is on his way to provide reinforcements! Garrison Commander Cao has ordered us to hold out until he arrives!"
Liu Cheng was stunned.
The beast tide at Fortress 5 has been defeated?
His previous intelligence indicated that Fortress Five was under siege by 20,000 alien beasts and was in dire straits. How could it have been defeated so quickly?
"Alone?" Liu Cheng caught the key phrase. "You mean one person came to provide support?"
"Yes...yes." The communications soldier swallowed hard. "According to the battle report from Fortress No. 5, it was Major Ye Feng who single-handedly defeated the beast tide and even killed two fourth-tier beast kings."
Those on the city wall who heard the news were stunned.
One person, defeating tens of thousands of strange beasts?
Slay two fourth-tier alien beast kings?
How is that possible?
Liu Cheng took a deep breath, suppressing the shock and doubt in his heart.
Whether the news is true or false, he has no other choice now.
"Pass down the order!" he roared. "Bring up all the reserves! Even if we die, we must hold the city walls!"
"Hold on until Ye Feng arrives!"
His gaze fell upon the five fourth-tier alien beasts in the distance, and he gripped his battle sword tightly.
"I'd like to see just who this person is..."
"I really hope he can do it! That he can save Fortress Nine!"
……
The Phantom Chariot sped across the wilderness.
Ye Feng sat in the cockpit, flipping through the battle reports of Fortress 9 on his personal combat terminal with one hand, while holding a bottle of iced cola in the other, taking sips from time to time.
He currently has eight or nine thousand kill points, so he doesn't care about the five hundred kill points consumed by summoning the Phantom Chariot!
It's all just a drop in the ocean!
These are nothing!
His gaze was fixed on the battle report of Fortress Nine.
A king of five fourth-tier exotic beasts.
The combination of Shadow Wolf and Crimson Tiger.
A beast tide of over 30,000.
The situation is much worse than at Fortress 5.
But Ye Feng's expression showed no worry; on the contrary, he seemed somewhat excited.
The more Tier 4 King-level beasts there are, the greater the probability of them dropping skill books, right?
He shut down his personal combat terminal and turned his gaze to the distant horizon.
Flames could be faintly seen shooting into the sky, and thick smoke could be seen billowing even during the day.
Fortress Nine is just ahead.
Ye Feng took a deep breath, his blood and qi surging within him.
He had just gained a large number of kill points in the battle at Fortress 5.
Directly consume kill points to increase your health to 20,000 points.
Then, he consumed 6,000 kill points to increase his mental strength by 200 points.
[Host: Ye Feng]
[Qi and Blood Value: 20000 points]
[Mental Strength: 890 points]
Kill Points: 2500
Although his levels as a martial artist and a psychic haven't changed, his actual combat strength is now at least twice as strong as it was before he entered Fortress No. 5.
"Five fourth-tier beast kings..." Ye Feng muttered to himself.
His hand reached for his waist, where a battle sword was tucked.
The hilt was still warm, and the remaining blood from the strange beast had dried.
"Then let's give it a try."
The Phantom Chariot's engine roared like a beast, carrying the young man as it charged toward the burning battlefield of Fortress Nine.
Behind him, in the Jiangcheng Command Center, Fortress No. 5, and Fortress No. 9, countless eyes were watching his every move.
Everyone wants to know the answer to the same question.
How many more miracles can this young man, who has appeared out of nowhere, create?
Can he create another miracle and save Fortress Nine?
