Planes took off from the base one after another, roaring toward the coast. They had clearly prepared for this, specifically to deal with the sea monster.
But back at the base, the fighting had not stopped despite the driving wind and rain. If anything, it was growing fiercer!
"They still haven't dealt with those terrorists after all this time? Are they really that formidable?" Li He said, appalled.
He was even beginning to lose his composure. A sea monster was rampaging on one side, while someone was attacking the base on the other. For a moment, it felt as though they were caught in a pincer.
Just then, a military phone rang. Li He answered it, and after listening to a few words, his expression changed drastically. He handed the phone to Tang Changsheng. "Commander Yang wants to speak with you!"
Tang Changsheng calmly took the call. A steady voice came from the other end, still composed despite the hail of gunfire all around him.
"Mr. Tang? We need your help here. Some of the people attacking our base have supernatural abilities. They're extremely difficult to deal with. We hope you'll help us. Of course, you have the right to refuse!"
Under the Great Chu Laws, the military had full authority to requisition the assistance of any citizen during a crisis. Imperial nobles, in particular, had a duty to help.
Noble status in Great Chu was not merely an honor. In wartime, it carried tremendous obligations.
"No problem," Tang Changsheng said mildly.
The country had been at peace for a long time, and no state of emergency had been declared. Tang Changsheng could certainly refuse without any damage to his reputation!
Nevertheless, he accepted. After hanging up, he told Li He, "Take me to the Command Center at once!"
"Yes!"
