Chapter 9: Monsters Climbing the City Wall
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
"What the hell? Is that true?"
Zeng Rong asked again in disbelief.
"Reporting to Admiral, I was lucky yesterday and just broke through to 1-star Silver rank. I can guarantee that I won't hold you guys back!"
Xu Mo misunderstood Zeng Rong's intentions and quickly explained.
"What do you mean by holding us back?!" Zeng Rong raised his voice as his eyes bulged.
What the f*ck, if levelling up to 1-star Silver rank within a few days was considered being a drag, then he would love for all his subordinates to 'drag him down' like this!
However, he couldn't tell Xu Mo that no matter what.
"Alright, I approve. You can go up the city wall and go to the Blue Dragon Division. Tao Yi, come here!"
Zeng Rong looked awkward as he turned around and shouted outside the conference room.
"Yes, Admiral!" Almost as soon as Zeng Rong finished speaking, a figure appeared at the door of the conference room and saluted him.
"Admiral, Tao Yi reporting for duty!" A thirty-something-year-old officer was standing there.
"This is Xu Mo. Take him to the Blue Dragon Division to defend the city. Until the beast tide recedes, you must protect him!"
Zeng Rong went up to Tao Yi and instructed him to leave with Xu Mo.
The two of them saluted Zeng Rong and left the mansion. Tao Yi nodded at Xu Mo. "Follow me closely. Don't run around!"
Then, the two of them sped to the high wall like arrows flying off bow strings.
Along the way, soldiers could be seen rushing up the city wall. They could vaguely hear the sound of cannons and various weapons.
However, what Xu Mo heard loudest was a monster's ear-piercing roar.
Clearly, the number of monsters in this beast tide wasn't small.
"What weapons do you need?" Tao Yi asked Xu Mo as he walked quickly.
"There's no need. I'm more skilled in close combat." Xu Mo's answer stunned Tao Yi for a moment.
However, Tao Yi did not say anything else. He now understood why Zeng Rong had arranged for him to protect Xu Mo.
Perhaps this kid in front of him had inherited some extraordinary bloodline that made the admiral look at him in a new light.
However, him saying he was good at close combat was a little too arrogant!
It was absolutely irrational for an Inheritor who had just obtained a bloodline to engage in close combat with a monster.
However, it did not matter. With him watching, as long as this little fellow didn't try to court death, Tao Yiwould definitely be able to protect him!
With this thought in mind, Tao Yi sped up.
The closer the two of them got to the wall, the louder monsters' roars outside the city were.
The commotion from the wall was deafening. Xu Mo felt his blood boiling inside his body. This was his first actual battle!
He was about to fight to the death with mankind's mortal enemy, the monsters. He was extremely excited.
Soon, the two of them arrived at the top of the city wall. What greeted their eyes were countless monsters charging toward the city wall from the sky and the ground.
The sky was filled with flying monsters that were circling and screeching crazily, but most of them were still relying on their claws to charge straight up the wall.
However, almost without exception, the monsters that tried to climb up the wall were all killed by the Inheritors.
Sonic booms and the sound of metal clashing could be heard everywhere. Countless soldiers were guarding the city walls, not letting the monsters in by an inch.
Xu Mo could clearly see that there were a few soldiers charging at the front line. They were the support points of this wall section.
"That's the Blue Dragon Division. This section is under their jurisdiction. There are only four people in the division, and each of them is above 6-star Bronze rank."
Tao Yi did not immediately bring Xu Mo into the battlefield. Instead, he pulled him along and introduced everything around the city wall.
"That side is the Ferocious Tiger Division's defense section. The joint of the wall's two ends is personally guarded by two division's captains…"
As Xu Mo listened, he observed carefully. He quickly realized that although the battle seemed intense, compared to the other gates, the attack on the gate guarded by the Blue Dragon Division seemed to be the weakest.
Obviously, Zeng Rong had arranged for him to be on this section to familiarize him with the battlefield first. He didn't have the intention of letting Xu Mo join the battle immediately.
Looking at the sparse beasts outside the city wall, Xu Mo felt bored. However, he had to accept this favor no matter what.
Only by knowing oneself and the enemy could one be undefeated in a hundred battles. This was probably the last time he would be able to understand the enemy's situation on the battlefield!
Boom! Boom!
Suddenly, a loud sound came from outside the city wall. Xu Mo's eyes immediately froze. He could clearly see that a few hundred meters away from the city wall, in the dense forest, there was suddenly a violent tremor.
Whoosh!
Soon, there was a commotion. Countless huge bodies swarmed out of the dense forest and rushed straight toward the city wall where the Blue Dragon Tribe was located, roaring crazily.
This sudden scene caused everyone to widen their eyes and freeze on the spot.
"Be careful of the sky!" Xu Mo suddenly sensed something. As he let out an angry roar, his figure shot forward like lightning.
"Xu Mo!" Tao Yi was shocked. When he looked in the direction where Xu Mo had pounced, his eyes widened.
In the sky, the flying monsters that were circling around suddenly gathered and jumped at the city wall.
The flying monsters as well as the ones on the ground were attacking at the same time!
By the time the soldiers and the Blue Dragon Division reacted, it was already too late. The monsters were extremely fast. A ferocious flying one with sharp claws was already above one of the Blue Dragon Division's soldiers.
"Damn it, I'm unlucky today!" Seeing the sharp claws right above his head, the soldier had nowhere to run. His eyes flashed with a bloody light as he prepared to die together with the flying monster.
Boom!
Suddenly, just as the Canglong Clan soldier was about to pull the special grenade's trigger, a loud noise came from above his head.
When he looked again, he was surprised to find that there was another person beside him, who was looking at the sky warily.
When the Blue Dragon Division soldiers saw the monster that had just pounced on them wailing as it flew back into the sky, they immediately understood everything.
It was this person in front of him who saved him. Looking at his clothes, he was actually a recruit!
Are new recruits actually that powerful now?
"Which new recruit are you? Thank you for saving me…"
"Cut the crap and prepare for battle!"
Before the soldier could finish speaking, Xu Mo's figure disappeared again.
In the next moment, he appeared on another section of the city wall and suddenly dragged away a soldier who was almost captured by one of the flying monsters.
"Shoot! Everyone, shoot!"
Seeing this, the Blue Dragon Division's other soldiers reacted and immediately issued an order.
On the city wall, the Electromagnetic Pulse Cannon began to roar. Invisible but tangible arcs shot toward the sky and ground.
The flying monsters that were falling from the sky all dodged the arcs. However, the places where the beasts were concentrated on the ground exploded in an instant.
Boom! Boom!
Violent explosions occurred one after another, the city wall's defense system showed its aggressive side.
Xu Mo, who had already saved two people, was shocked when he saw the attacks that had almost no blind spots.
It seemed that the Blue Dragon Division's defense system hadn't been fully activated just now!
However, before he could think about this, several huge figures suddenly appeared on the wall.
Monsters were already charging up the city wall.
