“City Lord!”
“City Lord!”
As Ning An arrived at the city wall, everyone greeted him.
“Old Zeng, how are the defenses currently arranged?!”
Ning An’s gaze fell upon Zeng Ming Hong.
This guard leader usually resided in the Guard Army base, which was relatively close to the Qing Shan base city wall.
So, after receiving the news, he was able to react in the first place.
“City Lord, according to the news from the southwest.”
“This beast tide is obviously not simple.”
“It is said that the number of mid-grade mutated beasts is also not small.”
“Even though our Qing Shan base has a good geographical location, we can’t be careless.”
..
Zeng Ming Hong spoke with a heavy expression.
Similar to the beast tide a few months ago.
The one where the previous Qing Shan Lord fell.
Actually, most of the mutated beasts were still below the level of martial artists, mainly in large numbers.
But this time was different, based on the intelligence from the southwest.
There were obviously many mutated beasts of Grade 1 and 2!
Including Grade 3 and 4, there were also quite a few.
Mutated beasts generally become more intelligent as they reach higher grades.
They wouldn’t easily participate in beast tides, because their intelligence still understood the terror of the Divine Xia Federation.
So, despite several beast tides, powerful mutated beasts usually wouldn’t participate.
Especially near the Qing Shan base, the appearance of a Grade 4 was definitely considered an accident.
Similar to the death of the previous Qing Shan Lord, it was completely unexpected.
He originally wanted to lead a team to help and earn some merit.
But he never expected to encounter such a tough opponent.
This time, there were quite a few Grade 4s, so maybe there were even Grade 5s.
Currently, in the entire Qing Shan base, only Ning An could confront those mutated beasts above Grade 3.
How could Zeng Ming Hong not be worried!
“Did the southwest say anything specific about the reason?!”
Ning An frowned slightly.
He wasn’t afraid of Grade 4 mutated beasts or anything, but the problem was that if there were too many, the Qing Shan base couldn’t withstand it.
If too many casualties were caused, then he, the Qing Shan base Lord, would be considered a failure.
And if the mutated beasts charged into the base.
Then it would be unimaginable!
“It is said that high-grade martial artists from the cult entered the deep southwest mountains.”
“It is said that they angered many high-grade wild beasts at the cost of self-detonation.”
“The specific situation is not very clear.”
“Currently, the clues are still too small, and there are very few people who can be dispatched from the southwest.”
“It is said that Governor Xu went to the deep southwest mountains to oversee things personally.”
“To intercept some high-grade mutated beasts who want to leave the mountains.”
....
Zeng Ming Hong continued to speak, with a lot of resentment in his words.
This resentment was mainly directed at the cult martial artists.
Cult martial artists preached doomsday theories, even promoting the existence of other worlds.
They seemed to be afraid that the Divine Xia Federation wouldn’t be in enough chaos!
“Are the ammunition supplies in the Qing Shan base sufficient now.”
Ning An quickly asked about another matter.
“The southwest replenished them before.”
“Including our Qing Shan base’s factories, they also produced quite a lot.”
Zeng Ming Hong quickly replied.
Facing a beast tide, the power of technology could still play a big role.
Of course, this was against large-scale beast tides!
If facing individual targets, the role of technology wouldn’t be as great as imagined.
A Grade 1 martial artist could easily dodge gun bullets.
Even if they were hit, they would only be injured.
As for explosives, martial artists weren’t fools, they wouldn’t stand there and take it, they would run.
Against a beast tide, however, there wouldn’t be such a problem.
Outside the Qing Shan base, many guard soldiers were laying landmines.
It has to be said that this thing really played a good role in defense.
Under an urgent notice, there wasn’t much that could be done as a precaution.
The matter came too suddenly!
As time passed, many martial artists from the Qing Shan base also gathered at the foot of the city wall.
These non-official martial artists wouldn’t be front-line fighters.
But they were backup personnel, there to fill in wherever manpower was insufficient.
People like Wen Zhi Qiao and her father-in-law were among the backup personnel.
The Divine Xia Federation gave martial artists a high status and benefits.
This was the time when these martial artists needed to contribute.
No martial artist could resist!
There were previously martial artists who wanted to resist, but they were directly detained by the Divine Xia Federation and sent to the front lines of the Ten Thousand Races battlefield.
The initial iron-fisted approach created the current martial artist system of the Divine Xia Federation.
Of course, taking the Qing Shan base as an example!
Many backup martial artists actually didn’t have a chance to show their skills.
At least in the history of the Qing Shan base, the number of times it was breached by beast tides was very few.
But this time, it was hard to say!
Because the Ten Thousand Races battlefield was currently in full swing.
The number of forces that could be dispatched from the entire southwest region was limited.
Even if some reinforcements were called from other regions, it wouldn’t be easy.
After all, other regions also had their own defense tasks.
It seems that they could only rely on themselves!
At the same time!
Ning An and many other strong individuals from the Qing Shan base also gathered on the city wall.
They were discussing this beast tide urgently.
The Southwest Governor’s Mansion had sent more detailed intelligence.
“This is a satellite image!”
“This beast tide is definitely a once-in-a-century event.”
“Even though some martial arts masters from the southwest are blocking the front line, stopping most of them.”
“But there are still many mutated beasts heading towards the bases.”
“According to calculations, the Qing Shan base has a high chance of being breached in some areas.”
“Should we abandon the defense of some areas and transfer the people?!”
....
Liu Da Cheng spoke with a serious expression!
As an old-timer of the Qing Shan base, this was the first time he had encountered such a large beast tide.
Naturally, he also hated the cult martial artists.
But the decision-maker was still this Qing Shan Lord.
Everyone present looked at Ning An.
Ning An felt a lot of pressure at this moment.
“First, evacuate the people in the north of the city, and transfer them to the south.”
“No matter what, we still need to defend the entire Qing Shan base.”
Ning An’s eyes showed a hint of decisiveness as he spoke.
Time was running out!
