"Okay, I understand!"
Still somewhat unwilling, Xu Yu had no choice but to agree for the time being.
To be honest, he felt the other party was being a little too cautious!
Go back, then notify the base, and they'll transport it over. How long will that take?
It'll only take two or three days!
Is there a possibility of a beast tide attacking in the next two or three days?
Hmm... it is indeed possible, but what are the chances?
Furthermore, even if an attack by the Calamity Beast does occur, will the personnel and ammunition saved here really be of any use later?
Xu Yu remained deeply skeptical about this.
From his perspective, no matter how he thought about it, the best course of action right now was to go up and surround and annihilate the fleeing Calamity Beast!
So, what do we do now?
Xu Yu looked up and saw several figures staring at her.
These are all people he has gathered together over the past six months through his own efforts.
Xu Yu took a light breath and said:
"... Do as I say!"
After glancing in a certain direction, Shen Heng calmly jumped off the corpse of the Rock Marrow Centipede.
"Huh? What were you doing up there just now?" Zhou Xuan asked, looking at Shen Heng.
He had just noticed that after making the announcement, Shen Heng seemed to be saying something again, but what he said was not transmitted in the all-staff channel.
"One of our members suggested that we give chase and kill the remaining Calamity Beast!" Shen Heng said succinctly.
Zhou Xuan pondered for a moment, then his eyes brightened slightly as he said, "Isn't this good?"
Seeing this, Shen Heng repeated what he had just said about rejecting the proposal.
Frowning, Zhou Xuan lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then said, "The probability isn't high, is it?"
"It's not high, but do you think it's necessary to take such a risk for a mere one or two thousand Origin Crystal, most of which are first or second-tier Origin Crystal?" Zheng Guomin said from the side.
"Well..."
After thinking for a moment, Zhou Xuan shook his head abruptly.
To be honest, one or two thousand Origin Crystal is quite a lot!
However, if the distribution is based on battlefield contributions, the amount allocated to each individual would be insufficient!
After all, ordinary soldiers will definitely get a share too.
Perhaps... everyone can get a Tier 2 Origin Crystal?
Well...
Losing interest, Zhou Xuan turned around and asked:
"So, how many Calamity Beast were killed this time?"
Shen Heng slowly turned his head, and the sound waves quickly swept across the entire valley.
"About two thousand."
"So, we killed two Fifth Tier beasts, over a hundred Fourth Tier beasts, and more than two thousand other Calamity Beast?" Zhou Xuan asked.
"Hmm." Shen Heng withdrew his gaze. "Let's clean up the mess and get ready to go back!"
Everyone nodded.
One day later, we returned to base.
Shen Heng followed Zhou Zhenguo, confirming the casualties.
Although we had tried our best to select the elite troops, we still suffered more than two hundred casualties.
Of these, 267 were ordinary soldiers who were killed or wounded, while 22 were members of the Supervision Bureau who were killed or wounded.
After leaving the first aid station, the two walked on the streets of Bedrock City.
Zhou Zhenguo glanced at Shen Heng and said:
"I heard there's a chance to wipe them all out this time?"
"Yes, I didn't order the operation." Shen Heng nodded, making no attempt to hide it.
Seeing this, Zhou Zhenguo smiled and said somewhat helplessly:
"You're great in every way, except you're a little too cautious!"
"I wouldn't say it's a sure thing, but after thinking it over, I felt the effort wasn't worth the reward, so I chose to give it up," Shen Heng said.
"But on the battlefield, sometimes victory is won by gambling little by little like this!" Zhou Zhenguo said.
"But this time, I don't think it's worth betting on the other side of the stake," Shen Heng said.
Zhou Zhenguo stopped in his tracks, his gaze fixed on Shen Heng.
Without looking away, Shen Heng calmly gazed over.
After a long pause, Zhou Zhenguo smiled.
Although he would have chosen to encircle and annihilate them if it were him, he had no objection to it, as it was ultimately just a different way of fighting.
"Hey kid, why don't you read some military books?"
"A military treatise?" Shen Heng asked.
"Yes, later on, you might need to lead a large number of soldiers out, just like this time," Zhou Zhenguo nodded. "Although because the individual soldiers are so strong, it might not be as tactically important as in ancient times, they should still be somewhat useful!"
After thinking for a moment, Shen Heng slowly nodded.
"Okay!"
"By the way, the base will allocate some resources to you later," Zhou Zhenguo said.
This time, it was Shen Heng's turn to pause slightly.
He paused, then quickly followed, saying:
"Because you've started taking on some of the duties?"
"That's one factor," Zhou Zhenguo nodded, and continued, "At the same time, if we want to establish a stable foothold outside, we also need a strong person who can better resist the Calamity Beast."
"Certainly..."
After a pause, Zhou Zhenguo glanced at Shen Heng and said:
"You earned this yourself!"
So, it's finally come to this?... Shen Heng let out a soft breath and slowly nodded.
"But don't get too excited yet," Zhou Zhenguo continued.
"Just like I said, it won't be easy for Bedrock City to transport resources back, and it won't be easy for the base to transport resources here either."
"Therefore, what you can get now is just a slight increase in the resources we receive."
"Right now, all we can do is allocate the Source Core from this batch primarily to you!"
Somewhere in the mountains.
The six-meter-tall Sky-Sundering Kamaitachi slowly came to a stop.
As a result, the beast tide also stopped behind it.
There was no discipline involved; the moment they stopped, rustling sounds rang out from the beast horde.
The Shuofeng paid no attention; it looked up at the sky.
A Gray Moth was flapping its wings and flying into the distance.
It wouldn't care if it were just this one, but it has seen several like this along the way.
He glanced sideways at a winged Calamity Beast not far behind him.
The Shuofeng raised its claws and pointed.
"You, go over there and summon that Calamity Beast!"
Nodding, the Calamity Beast flapped its wings and flew up.
After a while, two Calamity Beast flew down.
"This is Lord Shuofeng of the Sky-Sundering Kamaitachi Clan!" said the leading Calamity Beast.
Gray Moth didn't quite understand what the Sky-Sundering Kamaitachi was, but looking at the endless tide of beasts receding into the distance, he knew that the Calamity Beast before him were definitely not something he could afford to provoke.
It lay down on the ground and called out:
"Lord Shuofeng!"
"Hmm." Shuofeng gave a faint reply, then asked, "What are you all going to do?"
The Gray Moth replied:
"Lord Rock Marrow Centipede was killed by those two-legged insects. We don't know where to go, so we had no choice but to run away!"
" The Rock Marrow Centipede? The one at Anchor Point No. 7?" Shuofeng frowned, his voice lowering slightly.
"Yes!" the Gray Moth replied.
When did this happen?
