The words were left unsaid, but everyone fell silent.
Han Ling remained silent.
Although it's hard to admit, the current situation isn't exactly optimistic for them.
The constantly replenished Calamity Beast, and the cities that are periodically conquered by Calamity Beast...
They haven't even come up with a good way to deal with the next Calamity Beast when Bedrock City faces it again.
Last time the Calamity Beast came, we could predict them in advance and ambush them. What about next time?
Even if you manage to block them the next time, what if even more Calamity Beast come the time after that?
As long as the Calamity Beast persist, there will eventually come a time when they can't hold on any longer.
After all, given that they didn't know when the Calamity Beast might attack, the base couldn't send too many people to guard Bedrock City.
This matter applies not only to Bedrock City, but also to every city outside.
Although this situation is not entirely without its advantages for them.
At least during this period, the Anchor Point that could stabilize the Erosion Zone were almost in a semi-stagnant state.
The only problem might be that they are dragging this on with one life after another!
It's unclear which side is more worthwhile, it's just...
Han Ling lowered her eyes slightly.
Now, all we can do is hope that the Calamity Beast realize this soon and tighten their defenses...
Suddenly, Wang Yuanshan's voice came again.
"By the way, which city did Shen Heng go to provide support in?"
Han Ling raised her eyes and saw that everyone was looking at her, even Wang Hu, who already knew, was looking over.
She slowly began to speak:
He went to Frontier-Pacifying City...
Frontier-Pacifying City.
Three figures stood in mid-air, gazing into the distance.
There, a city stands atop the mountain.
On the surrounding mountain peaks, there are scattered, faintly visible black dots.
It's unclear, but it doesn't seem necessary to see it clearly.
" Captain Shen, is Frontier-Pacifying City already surrounded by Calamity Beast?" Chen Hua asked, his voice heavy.
Seemingly because of his decent performance at the ambush point last time, he was pulled up this time to observe the situation together.
"Hmm, it depends on the situation, that's how it is." Shen Heng responded calmly.
There are only a few cities that can be supported, so it's not surprising that they've appeared here given the probability.
but...
Looking at the Calamity Beast scattered throughout the mountains and forests, a hint of surprise flashed in Shen Heng's eyes.
Although he had considered the possibility of this situation, Shen Heng judged that the probability of it happening was really low!
Was it a coincidence?... He lowered his eyes slightly.
Beside him, Chen Hua slowly nodded.
Along the way, everyone basically knew the original plan.
Upon arrival, they took up residence in Frontier-Pacifying City, using the Frontier-Pacifying City walls and mountain terrain to assist the Frontier-Pacifying City's warriors in resisting the Calamity Beast.
Before arriving, he thought the biggest problem was that he had made a wasted trip, as the Calamity Beast had not come to Frontier-Pacifying City.
Unexpectedly, what I was originally considering wasn't a problem at all, but rather a new problem has arisen!
Frontier-Pacifying City is surrounded. How can they get in?
It's obvious that the Calamity Beast wouldn't let them in, especially...
Chen Hua frowned, gazing at the distant sky.
Dozens of winged Calamity Beast were circling around Frontier-Pacifying City within a radius of several kilometers.
The Calamity Beast are guarding the outer perimeter!
For this reason, they went a little further, having Inspector Qin Yu use her abilities to Environmental Assimilation and reduce their presence before coming up to observe the situation.
Shaking his head to clear his mind, Chen Hua frowned and began to ponder.
The most important issue now is how to get into Frontier-Pacifying City!
If they go straight there, the beast horde will definitely attack them immediately!
So, they wait where they are, and only go after the Calamity Beast begin attacking Frontier-Pacifying City? That way, they can attack from both sides?
That doesn't seem to work very well either. Unless they can scare the Calamity Beast away in one go, the Calamity Beast will definitely turn around and attack them!
Without a city to rely on, they will have little chance of resisting the beast tide with only their existing manpower and ammunition!
But it seems there are no other methods besides this one.
We can't just run away without providing support, can we?
Chen Hua's brows furrowed deeply.
Just then, a voice came from the side asking a question.
"Captain, do you know which Calamity Beast is leading the team?"
Chen Hua looked over with some confusion.
Inspector Qin Yu maintained the operation of her abilities while glancing sideways at Captain Shen.
Which Calamity Beast was leading the team?... Chen Hua also looked at Captain Shen. Although it wasn't the most important question at the moment, it was indeed necessary to know.
" Mirror Water Beast!" Shen Heng replied, a jelly-like figure flashing through his mind.
Upon hearing this name, Qin Yu frowned slightly.
"Is it the S-Class Calamity Beast that won't participate in the battle?" Chen Hua asked.
"They just didn't fully participate in the battle, not that they weren't involved in the war at all," Shen Heng corrected.
Although it is unclear why, according to battle reports from cities that have previously encountered the Mirror Water Beast, the Mirror Water Beast does not lead the charge during sieges, but mostly watches from below, only occasionally launching a probing attack.
This process continues throughout, and it will not change even if the Calamity Beast fail to conquer the city.
Chen Hua nodded, indicating that he understood.
"But at least it's much easier than with other Calamity Beast, right?"
"He barely participates in any battles, only occasionally showing his skills, yet he's already rated S-Class. The Mirror Water Beast might be more dangerous than you think!" Qin Yu whispered a reminder from the side.
Shen Heng nodded slightly, looking at Chen Hua with a serious expression.
"Even if the Mirror Water Beast didn't participate much, there are still other Calamity Beast, and we can't assume that the Mirror Water Beast won't fight much before joining the battle!"
Seeing that both of them looked very serious, Chen Hua hesitated for a moment, and the ease on his face slowly disappeared.
"I understand. So, should we now consider how to move into Frontier-Pacifying City?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Yu also looked at Shen Heng.
Shen Heng did not reply immediately; he was going through one piece of information after another in his mind.
He hadn't just heard the Calamity Beast from here; he'd heard it two hundred kilometers away.
After that, their team traveled more than 100 kilometers and then rested for a while.
During this time, the Calamity Beast showed no signs of moving.
Is it because I didn't get enough rest, or...?
Shen Heng slowly raised his eyes, his gaze slightly narrowed as he stared at the dark figures in the distance.
What a coincidence, did we arrive a little earlier than them?
Shen Heng's brows furrowed slightly. He hesitated for a moment, then slowly closed his eyes.
A cacophony of sounds surged forth like a tidal wave...
