Chapter 165 Reinforcements
“Everyone, there’s trouble at the North Mountain Base.”
Lin Feng directly displayed the request for help from the North Mountain Base to every martial artist in the conference room. The expressions of all the martial artists changed slightly. The North Mountain Base and the South Mountain Base, one north and one south, supported each other from afar. Although there was some minor competition, both sides were actually more reliant on each other.
For example, last time, when Chief Commander Zhou Yun had put the South Mountain Base in danger, the North Mountain Base had also sent reinforcements in time. Otherwise, there was no knowing how heavy the losses suffered by South Mountain Base would have been. action
Lu Wei’s expression was solemn as he said in a low voice, “Chief Commander, I was just about to report the trouble that the North Mountain Base is facing at the moment—the Terrestrial Ants! The Terrestrial Ants had actually already appeared three days ago. They surrounded the North Mountain Base, but considering the strength of the North Mountain Base, I didn’t think there would be a big problem. I didn’t expect the situation to be so urgent now.”
That’s right. Others might not know the strength of the North Mountain Base, but how could the martial artists of the South Mountain Base not know? There were actually a total of 50 inhuman experts in the North Mountain Base, including a few martial artists at the Third Level of Metamorphic Realm.
In terms of overall strength, the North Mountain Base was much stronger than the South Mountain Base. Even before the strength of the South Mountain was greatly reduced, the South Mountain Base was far inferior to the North Mountain Base.
As powerful as the North Mountain Base was, they had to call for reinforcements now. It was enough to show how dire their situation was.
“Is there a possibility that the North Mountain Base is exaggerating?”
Lin Feng did not know much about the North Mountain Base, which was why he asked this question.
Lu Wei smiled weakly and explained, “The North Mountain Base wouldn’t possibly exaggerate. Let’s put it this way: the South Mountain Base has practically never requested reinforcements from the South Mountain Base before. It’s not that easy to get them to ask for reinforcements from us.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLin Feng understood. The two bases competed with each other, and the North Mountain Base had always had the upper hand. The North Mountain Base would never ask the South Mountain Base for help except as a last resort.
“Everyone, what do you think we should do?”
Lin Feng swept his gaze over, seeking the opinions of all the martial artists.
“I think we should set off immediately to reinforce the North Mountain Base.”
“That’s right. The North Mountain Base is resisting the Terrestrial Ants. These Terrestrial Ants are not easy to deal with. If they break through the North Mountain Base, our South Mountain Base will probably find it difficult to contend with them. When that happens, the entire South Mountain City will be in danger.”
“Since the North Mountain Base is already in such danger, we should do our best to reinforce them.”
Most of these martial artists agreed to go and rescue them. After all, the two bases were closely interdependent. If the North Mountain Base was finished, the South Mountain Base wouldn’t be able to hold out for much longer.
At this moment, Lu Wei said, “We must go, but how many martial artists should we deploy? I think what the North Mountain Base lacks experts. Therefore, we don’t need to bring too many ordinary martial artists. As for inhuman experts, once too many of ours go, who can guarantee that those Pangolin Beasts won’t come again?”
Indeed, not too many of them could go. Otherwise, the South Mountain Base would be emptied out. If the Pangolin Beasts attacked again, it would be very dangerous.
Everyone discussed for a while and agreed with this point of view. However, Lin Feng was the one who had to decide how many people to bring. After all, Lin Feng was the Chief Commander of the South Mountain Base!
Lin Feng pondered for a moment and said, “Prepare an airship. It’s better to rescue them sooner rather than later. I’ll lead the reinforcements myself, along with the ten battalion leaders and 3,000 ordinary martial artists in the bases.”
CU.
This force could not be considered very strong, but it was already close to half of the current strength of the South Mountain Base Even if the Pangolin Beasts attacked again, the people staying in the South Mountain Base would be able to hold out for a while, and would not fall very quickly.
Lin Feng had already made his decision. Naturally, no one objected. Next, Lin Feng personally picked ten battalion leaders, including Lu Wei.
“All right, go and prepare. We’ll leave in half an hour!”
Everyone immediately dispersed. Only Yu Shan was a little hesitant, but in the end, he still asked, “Lin Feng, why am I not included?”
Lin Feng smiled and said, “Yu Shan, you’ve just arrived at the base and haven’t fully familiarized yourself with the situation. This trip to the North Mountain Base will also be dangerous. Even if the two of us want to fight alongside each other, we can’t make meaningless sacrifices. Don’t worry, this is the frontline. You still have many chances to participate in the battle.”
Yu Shan nodded. He smiled and said, “Lin Feng, you have to be careful.”
“Haha, don’t worry.”
Lin Feng had nothing to prepare for. He went straight to the airship.
In the South Mountain Base, there had always been a constant supply of airships. Forget about 3,000 people, even 5,000 people could be carried by them. Such airships were not generally used. They could only be deployed when there was danger in war or during retreat.
In the spaceship, Lin Feng learned about the Terrestrial Ants first. These Terrestrial Ants had one thing in common with the Pangolin Beasts, and that was that they were good at digging underground tunnels. They were also very difficult to deal with, and there were a lot of them.
However, Terrestrial Ants and Pangolin Beasts did not get along too well. They each had their own territories and usually minded their own business. If there were violations, they would even fight.
Compared to the Pangolin Beasts, these Terrestrial Ants were even harder to deal with. Not only were there many of them, they were also extremely fast and agile. Their teeth were especially sharp, and they could break through hard steel with a single bite.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHence, the North Mountain Base had amassed such a huge force just to deal with the Terrestrial Ants.
“I can gather some genes from these Terrestrial Ants to compare to the Pangolin Beast genes, I’ll have to make more comparisons before I can fuse new dire beast genes in the future.”
The first thing that came to Lin Feng’s mind was not how difficult the Terrestrial Ants were, but the genes of the Terrestrial Ants. Lin Feng was no longer that ordinary student of the Myriad Academy. He was a powerful martial artist who wielded great authority, and presided over a region.
He could come into contact with all kinds of dire beasts now. Hence, when fusing the genes of dire beasts again, he no longer had to be limited like before, when he did not even have the slightest choice.
About half an hour later, the ten battalion leaders in the base led the 3,000 martial artists and entered the airships.
“Since everyone is ready, let’s take off. Our target is the North Mountain Base!”
Boom.
As Lin Feng’s voice fell, the huge airship began to take off.
“Have the people from the South Mountain Base not arrived yet?”
The Chief Commander, Mo Lei, frowned. He was a Third Level Metamorphic Realm cultivator who had guarded the North Mountain Base for 20 years. When had he ever encountered such a predicament as to actually need reinforcements from the South Mountain Base?
However, he could do nothing about the dense horde of Terrestrial Ants outside the base.
“Chief Commander, I think you shouldn’t hold too much hope for the South Mountain Base. The South Mountain Base had already suffered heavy losses. I heard that the new Chief Commander is the Lin Feng who obtained the Hero of Humanity Medal. He has just broken the genetic lock. How strong can he possibly be? Even if they come, they probably won’t be able to resolve our current problem.”
Mo Lei’s heart sank. That’s right. The South Mountain Base could barely protect itself, and its strength had already fallen to rock bottom. In the past, he had always looked down on the Chief Commander of the South Mountain Base, Zhou Yun. Both sides even had some rivalry.
However, Zhou Yun was ultimately someone at the Third Level of the Metamorphic Realm. Even Mo Lei did not have absolute confidence in winning against him. If Zhou Yun were here, the reinforcements from the South Mountain Base would be worth looking forward to.
As for Lin Feng? Although he had obtained the Hero of Humanity Medal, he had just broken the genetic lock. He had probably obtained the Hero of Humanity Medal by luck. How much strength could he possibly have?
If the North Mountain Base wanted to survive this crisis, they would have to rely on themselves!
