Capital, Great Xia Ruins Defense General Administration.
Inside an office on a high floor, a figure paced back and forth.
He would sometimes sit on the sofa, sometimes stand by the window, and sometimes pace around the office.
Finally, he seemed to have made up his mind and sat back down at his desk.
The file was picked up and examined.
A moment later, he held a pen, seemingly intending to make some notes on the document, but the pen moved erratically no matter how many times he touched it.
"Bang!"
I'm feeling a bit irritable.
Zhao Yonggang slammed his pen on the table and leaned back heavily in his chair.
His gaze drifted out the window.
The scenery that came into view was not the familiar sight of the past, but that's normal.
After all, although the General Administration of Customs had arranged an office for him, the matters he was mainly responsible for were still related to the Supervision Bureau, and it would undoubtedly be much more convenient to handle them there.
If it weren't for this huge incident, he wouldn't have stayed here today.
Lost in thought, there was a knock on the office door.
Zhao Yonggang looked over. "What is it?"
"Director, there's been some new development in the Plateau Erosion Zone. The Director-General requests your presence!" Lü Mingzhe said quickly.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yonggang paused for a moment, then immediately stood up and walked over.
"New situation?"
"Yes, the latest intelligence indicates that many soldiers in the Plateau Erosion Zone have been forced out." Lü Mingzhe walked out beside Zhao Yonggang. "Moreover, it's not just people; many of the Calamity Beast have also been forced out!"
"They were squeezed out? The Calamity Beast?" Zhao Yonggang frowned and looked at Lü Mingzhe.
He seemed unable to understand either of them.
"That's what the Intelligence Department said, but you'll probably need to hear their explanation later," Lü Mingzhe said.
Zhao Yonggang nodded slightly and looked away.
It seems the specific intelligence may be quite complex, so it wasn't explained during the transmission process.
The two continued walking forward.
Soon, Lü Mingzhe stopped at a corner guarded by two soldiers and did not go any further.
Zhao Yonggang continued forward.
After turning another corner, he entered a conference room.
There were already three figures in the meeting room.
He glanced at the even less-seen Minister of the Intelligence Department, then sat down in his seat.
Soon, two more figures entered in succession.
"Alright, let's begin!" The elderly man in the center looked at the head of the Intelligence Department.
The head of the Intelligence Department nodded and said:
"These are the latest images transmitted from the Plateau Erosion Zone. Please take a look."
As he spoke, he tapped on the screen projected in front of him.
An image was quickly projected onto the round table.
A desolate land, a high platform, and a huge Light Gate on the platform.
One figure after another was rapidly emerging from the Light Gate and moving away.
Zhao Yonggang looked at the scene before him without surprise.
They had already seen the relevant footage not long ago, and now they were more concerned about the latest developments.
Like him, several others around him were also intently examining the image.
Suddenly, the eyes of the people present narrowed slightly.
Suddenly, at least tens of thousands of figures appeared in the scene.
It really happened suddenly; in the previous frame, they were still orderly evacuating; in the next frame, suddenly there were at least tens of thousands of figures.
Tens of thousands of figures were scattered in the air, including both Calamity Beast and humans.
However, it seems that overall, there are significantly more humans than Calamity Beast.
Is this what the Intelligence Department meant by being squeezed out?... Zhao Yonggang watched this scene with slightly darkened eyes.
Before he could think further, new sounds came from the video feed.
Tens of thousands of figures seemed to be suddenly affected by gravity, and fell towards the ground.
Terrified screams came from the video.
Those that could fly quickly took to the air.
But those who cannot fly can only helplessly fall in despair.
One figure after another rapidly approached the ground.
Just as they were crashing to the ground, a sudden gust of wind swept through.
The raging wind lifted the figures that were almost touching the ground a little higher.
Although it only stirred up a little, it was enough for those figures.
As long as it's not a fall from nearly a hundred meters away, a drop of a few meters or tens of meters is perfectly acceptable for warriors who can enter the Erosion Zone!
The next moment, one figure after another landed on the ground.
They got up and looked around.
Then, some looked completely bewildered; some realized something but remained confused; and some were happy but didn't understand the situation...
Before they could react, the sounds of battle suddenly rang out in the air.
A fierce wind surged, accompanied by the roar of a gigantic figure.
Below, figures looked up once, then quickly fled away.
We have no choice but to escape; otherwise, we'll be caught in the crossfire of the battle above.
But even if you escape, it seems difficult to escape again...
Seemingly aware of the impact of the battle on those below, the fighting above was quickly moved to a distance and soon out of the camera's view.
The humans and the Calamity Beast, who had been standing still, were stunned for a moment before looking at each other.
The next moment, war began.
Inside the meeting room, everyone watched, and even as the video ended, the war had only been going on for a minute.
" Daoist Master Li, how is it being handled so far?" The elderly man in the center looked at the head of the Intelligence Department.
" Chief Zhang has arranged for fighter jets to follow, ready to provide support at any time. In addition, Lieutenant General Jiang Xingwei will be there soon. Chief Zhang has contacted him and instructed him to go directly to Daoist Master Li!" the head of the Intelligence Department replied.
Hearing this, everyone present relaxed slightly.
Although the photo wasn't very clear, they could still vaguely see that Daoist Master Li didn't seem to be in good condition.
That's normal, considering that one person has been fighting off several Sixth Tier Calamity Beast for so long.
"So, what just happened? How did so many people and Calamity Beast suddenly appear? And why was there only one Sixth Tier Calamity Beast? The intelligence said there were others." An elderly man who looked robust asked.
"Indeed, no matter how you look at it, it's a bit strange, especially the way they came out at the end; it didn't seem like they came out normally," another old man nodded in agreement.
The elderly man in the center looked up at the head of the Intelligence Department and asked:
Do you have any relevant intelligence?
"I'm sorry, we haven't had time to gather intelligence on this yet. The troops in the Plateau Military Region are still dealing with the Calamity Beast that came out with them, so we probably won't be able to gather information in the short term," the head of the Intelligence Department replied.
Upon hearing this, the group frowned slightly, but did not criticize the other party, as the situation they described was unavoidable.
After thinking for a moment, the elderly man in the middle looked at Zhao Yonggang.
" Yonggang, you are the director of the Supervision Bureau, and you have the most contact with these people. What are your thoughts on this?"
