Seeing Yang Yu descend like a god, the soldiers on the City Wall were extremely excited. A middle-aged man who looked like an officer stepped forward and said, "You must be General Yang Yu. I am Zhou An, who is in charge of this defense line. The Chief is on his way."

"General Zhou, hello. I am Yang Yu." Yang Yu took off his helmet and said with a smile. He glanced at the rank insignia on Zhou An's shoulder and found that the other party was also a Major General.

Looking at the incredibly young Yang Yu, Zhou An couldn't help but marvel at how heroes emerge from among the young.

"General Zhou, have Monsters of Lord Level or above been spotted in your Base City recently?" Yang Yu asked directly.

"Satellite monitoring recently discovered a Silver Wolf Leader that appeared to have reached the Elementary Lord Level, and it was leading a large number of Silver Wolf Monsters. After an emergency discussion, we launched a nuclear missile carrying a nuclear warhead, which basically wiped them out. However, subsequent satellite monitoring revealed that this wolf king seems to have survived and undergone an unknown mutation, making it seem even stronger."

Zhou An gave a brief introduction to the last Wolf King attack. Because Yang Yu was a top-level Freelance Martial Artist and had been awarded the rank of Major General by the Military, this information, which should have been kept secret, did not need to be kept from Yang Yu.

"It mutated?" Yang Yu asked curiously.

"Judging from the surveillance footage, it has indeed mutated. The Silver Wolf Leader's original silver fur has now turned silver-white, and a tuft of blood-red fur has appeared on its forehead. Its speed has also increased significantly, and it seems that many of its wolf packs have also mutated," Zhou An explained.

"We've officially renamed it the Silver Moon Fierce Wolf, and this wolf king is now even stronger. It has subdued many wolf packs and other Monsters in the surrounding area recently, and it seems to be preparing for revenge against us."

After listening, Yang Yu pondered for a moment, "Wolf-type Monsters are indeed a very vengeful type of Monsters. Their mutations may be related to nuclear radiation. It seems that we should be cautious about using nuclear weapons in the future, otherwise it would be bad if we didn't kill the Monsters but instead caused Monsters to mutate."

"That's true, but if we hadn't used nuclear missiles last time, we probably wouldn't have been able to defend the Base City. We had no choice at the time," Zhou An said bitterly.

"I'll wipe out the mutated Silver Wolf shortly. I'll also come back periodically to help you eliminate any threatening Monsters."

"That's great!" Zhou An was overjoyed. Judging from the video transmitted from inside, the incredibly young man in front of him was truly terrifying in strength. Moreover, judging from the battle scene just now, he was stronger than an entire army by himself!

With this guarantee, the security of the Northwest Base City has increased by at least half!

After exchanging a few more words with Zhou An, Zhu Xuan and the others boarded fighter jets and arrived at the City Wall. "Welcome, General Yang!"

Zhu Xuan walked over and warmly shook hands with Yang Yu, "I just heard from Old Wang that you were coming to help us. I didn't expect you to arrive so quickly, and you even helped us clear out so many Monsters. Thank you so much, General Yang."

Looking at the enthusiastic and excited Zhu Xuan, Yang Yu noticed that the other man's hair had turned completely white, and his face was covered with wrinkles. Even when he smiled, he couldn't hide his sorrow.

Under the threat of Monsters, it would indeed be too difficult to resist without top-tier experts present.

"Chief kind, sir. This is what I, as Huaxia People, should do. Now that I'm here, the death knell for these Lord-level Monster is near!"

Seeing Yang Yu's calm and confident demeanor, Zhu Xuan, Zhou An, and the others were also inspired.

"Okay! We all believe you." Zhu Xuan nodded vigorously and said, "Then let's go to the Central Command Center now and discuss how to deal with the Monsters."

"Okay," Yang Yu agreed. "You guys Chief the helicopter, I'll just fly over with you. I'll also take a look at the surrounding terrain."

Knowing that Yang Yu had the ability to fly, Zhu Xuan did not insist. The group immediately boarded the fighter jet and flew towards the Central Command Center.

Following behind the military helicopter, Yang Yu looked down at the Northwest Base City, nestled in the yellow sand, and the scattered vegetation around it.

Since the wilderness after the Grand Nirvana is no longer suitable for human habitation, the already somewhat desolate Northwest has become even more desolate. Fortunately, thanks to its previous heritage, the basic livelihood of the people can still be guaranteed.

A short while later, the group arrived at the command Command Center. Zhu Xuan didn't waste any words and went straight to the Sand Table. "General Yang, the Mutated Wolf Pack that poses the greatest threat to us is located a thousand kilometers west of our Base City. The terrain there is very suitable for all kinds of Monsters to live in. According to satellite images, it is now completely dominated by the Silver Moon Wolf Clan, and they are constantly expanding their territory."

As Zhu Xuan spoke, he instructed his staff to display satellite surveillance footage on the large screen.

Yang Yu took a look and confirmed that it was indeed Silver Moon Fierce Wolf, and its running speed was significantly faster than that of a typical Elementary Lord Level Monsters. However, this speed was only enough to make the Military and ordinary Martial Artist wary.

For Yang Yu now, this speed is practically no different from slow motion.

"Besides this wolf pack, are there any other threatening Lord-level Monster?" Yang Yu memorized the wolf pack's location. "If there are any, tell me, and we'll deal with them all this time."

"There is indeed one more place." Zhu Xuan gestured to the staff, and then the image on the big screen changed.

"1,500 kilometers to the north, satellite imagery has captured images of a mutated Leopard Clan. The Leopard King's strength is estimated to be at the Lord Level, but this Lord-level Monster has not yet shown any intention to attack us," Zhu Xuan said.

"While there are also large groups of beasts led by Advanced Beast General Level Monsters generals in other places, we can barely handle those Monsters. Currently, the biggest threats are wolf packs and leopard packs."

"Let's deal with these two Monsters first. Here's my contact information. If any threatening Lord Monster appear outside your Base City, you can let me know at any time, Chief." Yang Yu raised his specially made Communication Watch and exchanged his contact information with Zhu Xuan and the others.

This Communication Watch, specially made by the Military, cannot be used by anyone to send messages unilaterally without Yang Yu's permission; messages can only be sent after adding each other as friends.

After confirming that you've added me as a friend, Yang Yu immediately said, "Send me the exact location now. There's no time to lose. I'll set off now. After we kill the Monsters, I'll send you some materials to craft weapons and equipment."

"That's wonderful! General Yang, please be careful," Zhu Xuan said after sending his location to Yang Yu.

"Don't worry, Chief, they can't threaten me. Just wait for my good news."

Seeing that he had received the location on his watch, Yang Yu waved to everyone, walked outside, jumped onto his shield, and flew westward.

Seeing that Yang Yu's shield-borne flight speed was much faster than that of a helicopter, Zhu Xuan and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Once the most threatening Lord-level Monster are dealt with, the remaining Advanced Beast General Level Monsters, though troublesome, can still be dealt with by the Martial Artist' maneuvering and powerful missiles.

As Yang Yu flew over the northwestern land, he admired the scenery below while rapidly heading towards the territory of the Silver Moon Wolf Clan.

In less than ten minutes, Yang Yu arrived at his destination.

Looking down into the valley where thousands of wolf-like Monsters dwell, the most conspicuous wolf leader is prominently positioned at the top of the valley, seemingly engaged in intimate communication with a mother wolf.

Having no interest in studying the wolf clan's reproductive practices, Yang Yu's mind raced, and he shot towards the valley, stepping on his cyan-gold shield.

Killing a wolf king that is only Elementary Lord Level is as simple as sweeping it away.

As Yang Yu charged towards the valley at breakneck speed from high above without any attempt to conceal his attack, the wolf king, who was busy with his business, finally noticed and quickly put away his weapon, letting out a howl.

Upon hearing the command, the wolf-like Monsters immediately formed a battle formation.

Those who can enter the valley are all elite wolves, meaning they have reached the Beast General Level. Their intelligence is sufficient to understand commands, and they can form a battle formation to fight together.

Seeing the Silver Moon Wolf Clan react quickly, Yang Yu's lips curled up slightly. Then, his Thunder Intent erupted, and his diving speed reached its limit. He almost instantly covered a hundred meters and rushed into the valley.

Seeing the enemy's incredible speed, the wolf king lost all will to resist. With a shriek, it fled towards the edge of the valley, and the other wolf Monsters who heard the command also scattered and ran away.

Ignoring the small karami, Yang Yu drove his shield with great interest and followed behind the wolf king, while his powerful Spiritual Force locked onto the wolf king.

In no time, the wolf king, having unleashed its full speed, transformed into a white phantom and raced toward the plains beyond the valley.

"500m/s, that's quite a speed," Yang Yu chuckled softly, trailing behind the Wolf King at a leisurely pace.

"If that's all the speed you have, then you might as well die!"

Yang Yu's eyes turned cold, and four throwing knives immediately flew out from the straps on Yang Yu legs, heading straight for the wolf king.

The throwing knife, traveling at twenty times the Speed of Sound, reached the wolf king almost instantly.

The nearly ten-meter-long wolf king sensed a flying knife coming at it and suddenly turned around, trying to escape the attack.

However, its strength is simply not enough to contend with Senior War God -level Spirit Reader.

The four flying knives, transformed into streaks of cyan -Golden Flowing Light, then turned and headed straight for the wolf king's abdomen.

"Laugh!"

The Wolf King's defenses, Elementary Lord Level, were as fragile as paper in front of Yang Yu. The throwing knife pierced the Wolf King's body in an instant, and then went straight for its head. In a moment, the Wolf King's huge head was shredded by the throwing knife.

The wolf king, still running at top speed, died instantly.

The immense inertia carried the wolf king's corpse forward for several hundred meters before finally stopping.

Yang Yu was in a good mood, having easily defeated the wolf king without even fully unleashing his Thunder Intent.

Using his throwing knives, Yang Yu peeled off the entire wolf king's pelt, cutting off its hard claws and Fangs. Finally, he also took the hardest part of its body, the skull, and its two rather unusual eyeballs. All the precious materials from the Silver Moon Wolf King's body were packed up and taken away by Yang Yu.

The wolf king, which was originally nearly ten meters long, has now become material in Yang Yu's backpack. These materials are all good for making weapons and equipment, and since he went to the trouble of killing it, he certainly can't waste them.

In less than a minute, Yang Yu finished collecting his spoils, rose up, and ascended to the sky on his shield. He selected the strongest Silver Moon Wolf, caught up with it in just a few dozen seconds, and easily killed it with a throwing knife.

Yang Yu then caught up with two more Silver Moon Fierce Wolf, whose strength had also reached the Advanced Beast General. After killing them, Yang Yu took their most valuable wolf pelts and then turned around and flew towards the direction where the Golden Leopard was.

The pelt of Advanced Beast General Level is a good material for making armor, so I took it.

Perhaps the armor made from these three wolf pelts could save many more human Martial Artist.

After arriving at the location of the leopard in twenty minutes, Yang Yu first observed it from high above.

They discovered that the Leopard King was doing something similar to the Wolf King.

No wonder there are so many Monsters; these Monsters are truly busy with the reproduction of their species all the time.

Yang Yu's expression was slightly strange, but he didn't pay much attention to it and then headed towards the mountaintop where the Leopard King was located.

This Leopard King was much stronger than the wolf king, and it was spotted when Yang Yu approached it within 300 meters.

With a swift motion, the Leopard King drew its weapon and let out a sharp roar. Then, disregarding the lives of its other kin, it leaped off the cliff and darted between the peaks, attempting to use the terrain to shake off Yang Yu.

But Yang Yu has mastered the complete Thunder Intent, and now, at full power, he can even draw out a Senior War God of the Thunder Domain. Spirit Reader an invincible figure among the War God!

The Leopard King's petty tricks posed no obstacle to him.

Using his shield skillfully to keep up with the Leopard King, Yang Yu discovered that it was indeed much faster than the Wolf King, with a speed of approximately 600 m/s.

This speed is already comparable to that of a Senior War God.

However, leopard-type Monsters are naturally good at speed, so it's understandable that Intermediate Lord Level leopard could unleash such speed when fighting desperately.

Seeing the leopard about to leap into the Stone Forest, Yang Yu no longer held back. His flying knife, imbued with the Thunder Intent, suddenly shot out, accelerating to twenty times the speed of Speed of Sound in an instant. The flying knife drew a beautiful arc, caught up with the Leopard King, and directly pierced its head.

Then came the violent stirring!

The Leopard King, struck by a fatal blow, immediately plummeted from the mountaintop.

Too lazy to wait for the Leopard King to land, Yang Yu used his Mental Force to envelop it, then went to the mountaintop to collect the Leopard King's leopard skin, Fangs, hardest skull, and special eyeballs, putting them into his backpack. He then turned around and continued to chase down the other more threatening leopards.

After spending some time catching up with and killing four Peak Advanced Beast General Level golden leopards, Yang Yu still skinned them for their most useful parts, leaving the other materials untouched.

Unfortunately, to maintain mobility, Yang Yu's backpack wasn't very big, and after stuffing in the Monsters materials from before, there wasn't much space left.

"Sometimes killing Monsters too quickly can be a problem," Yang Yu thought to himself, annoyed as he flew across the northwestern land on his shield.

Next, Yang Yu will provide support to Kyoto Base City. This was something Yang Yu and Wang Ying'an had decided beforehand. After supporting the Northwest Base City, it will be Kyoto Base City, and then the Southeast Base City.

Then came the Base City where Hong and Thor were stationed.

After this initial sweep, the defensive pressure on the major Base City will be greatly reduced.

Although there will definitely be a continuous stream of Lord-level Monster appearing later, things can remain stable for a while in the present.

Yang Yu can simply patrol the area periodically.

"Hopefully, the Lord-level Monster we'll kill next won't be too big, otherwise we won't be able to take them all with us."

Yang Yu then returned to the Northwest Base City and left some of the Lord-level Monster materials and some ordinary Monsters materials from his backpack for the Northwest Base City.

As for the rest, Yang Yu planned to leave them for the Kyoto Base City they were going to next.
