Devouring the Stars: The Lord of the Sky

Chapter 32 War Base No. 2
"Brother Lu, do you have any specific information?"

Lu Jin asked.

"As of fifteen minutes ago, satellites had detected nine Lord-level monsters."

There are six low-level lords, three mid-level lords, and no trace of high-level lords has been found yet.

However, there must be high-ranking lords among them; otherwise, lord-level monsters wouldn't appear so easily.

Lu Gang said with a rather solemn expression.

Unlike rat and ant swarms, these two types of animal swarms may not be detected by satellites before they officially erupt, since rat and ant monsters are notorious for digging holes.

But ordinary beast tides are different; a large-scale gathering of monsters cannot be hidden from satellites in the sky.

High-level monsters are not stupid; the leaders of the monster tide will not easily show themselves to prevent human experts from carrying out decapitation tactics.

Those that can be easily detected by satellites are definitely just pawns.

"I heard that the king of Changbai Mountain is the Silver Moon King, and this beast tide is probably related to it."

At this moment, Wang Yanfeng, who was burly, said something.

Upon hearing the name 'Silver Moon King', the expressions of Lu Gang and the others, except for Lu Jin, immediately became even more solemn.

It's not that I'm worried about the 'Silver Moon King' appearing on the beast tide battlefield.

There is a tacit understanding between humans and King-level monsters—humans do not use laser cannons to hunt King-level monsters, and King-level monsters will not participate in the monster hordes attacking the base city.

As long as the 'Silver Moon King' hasn't lost his mind, there's no need to worry about him appearing.

The reason why the group looked so solemn was that the 'Silver Moon King' was a king-level Silver Moon Wolf and the wolf king of a Silver Moon Wolf clan. He had many Silver Moon wolves under his command who were of high lord level.

Wolf-type monsters are ferocious, and as the royal family of wolf-type monsters, the Silver Moon Wolf is much stronger than ordinary monsters of the same level.

A Silvermoon Wolf of the High Lord level is arguably the strongest being below the Councilor. To contend with it, at least two High War Gods would need to fight side by side.

As for whether a powerful member of parliament should step in to quell the beast tide?
In terms of the number of high-end combat forces, the monster horde far outnumbers the human population.

If a powerful councilor were to intervene to quell the beast tide, and the councilor were to show signs of fatigue, they would likely be attacked by more than one king-level monster.

Therefore, powerful members of parliament should not intervene until the very last moment, otherwise the consequences could be even more serious.

Of course, if you have big enough fists to withstand the sneak attacks and sieges of King-level monsters, then it doesn't matter.

"There are two war bases in the Northeast Guard District facing the Changbai Mountains. Which one are we going to?"

Lu Jin asked the crowd.

When the Northeast Base City encountered a beast tide, the front line of resistance against the beast tide was naturally not the garrison camp in the Northeast Guard District, nor the garrison city in the Northeast Base City, but rather the front-line war base built in advantageous terrain such as canyons.

The Northeast Guard District has three frontline war bases. The No. 1 war base is located more than a hundred miles behind the mouth of the Liao River, and it is responsible for dealing with sea monsters.

War Bases No. 2 and No. 3 are located southeast and northeast of Northeast Base City, respectively. The two war bases are hundreds of miles apart, guarding key routes and defending against monsters coming from the direction of Changbai Mountain.

"According to satellite reconnaissance, the main direction of the beast tide's attack is the No. 2 war base in the south, which is also where we are heading."

Of course, if the beast tide changes its main attack direction midway, then we'll move to another location.

Lu Gang said in a deep voice.

Thanks to early satellite detection and the high speed of the fighter jets, when the jets arrived at the No. 2 frontline war base in the Northeast Satellite District, the vanguard of the beast tide was still more than 200 miles away from the war base. The No. 2 war base was built in the center of a canyon, with an overall circular shape and a diameter of more than 700 meters. It was entirely made of solid steel and cement.

Inside the war base, a large number of rocket launchers, howitzers, close-in weapon systems, and even several laser cannons that pose a significant threat to King-level monsters are deployed.

As soon as Lu Jin stepped off the fighter jet, he saw three figures walking towards the six of them.

The leader of the three was a middle-aged man who looked to be around fifty years old, wearing a 9-series combat uniform and a guard badge on his left chest.

Two young men followed behind the middle-aged man, both fully armed. Lu Jin, with his sharp eyes, also noticed that the two men had many 7-series throwing knives pinned to their combat uniforms, indicating that they were likely mentalists.

To be honest, there are a lot of mentalists belonging to the Wei faction; Lu Jin has already met quite a few.

On the contrary, outside of Luo Feng, he had never seen a single mentalist.

However, this is to be expected, since mentalists can play a far greater role on the battlefield than martial artists of the same level, so Wei Fang naturally tries his best to recruit them.

"Reporting to the commander, the Southeast Guard District support team is expected to have six members, and six members are present. I am Lu Gang, a junior War God Warrior."

"Long Wentao of the Southeast Guard District, a beginner-level War God Warrior."

"Wang Yanfeng from the Southeast Guard District, a beginner-level War God Warrior."

"Jiang Lie from the Southeast Guard District, a beginner-level War God Warrior."

"Tu Guanyu of the Southeast Guard District, a junior War God Spiritualist."

"Lu Jin from the Southeast Guard District, a Senior War God Spiritualist."

Led by Lu Gang, Lu Jin and his six companions saluted Yu Zhenbang, the commander of the Northeast Guard District.

'Advanced War God Spiritual Master?'

Yu Zhenbang was stunned for a moment, looking at Lu Jin with surprise in his eyes.

If he remembered correctly, the Ministry of Defense held a high-level meeting because of this young man, and it hasn't been that long, has it? He's already become a high-level War God Spiritualist?

However, after the initial surprise, Yu Zhenbang was filled with joy.

On a large-scale battlefield, the role that a high-level War God Spirit Master can play is far beyond that of a high-level War God Warrior.

Overjoyed, Yu Zhenbang returned the greeting with a solemn expression, saying, "I am Yu Zhenbang, and I welcome you all to come and provide support."

"Defending our homeland is our inescapable duty!"

Lu Jin and the other six said loudly.

Then, Lu Gang, the leader of the support team, said, "Commander Yu, please arrange the combat mission."

The Guardians value strict discipline. Although there is no direct relationship between the two sides, since they have come here, the support team naturally has to follow Yu Zhenbang's arrangements.

Yu Zhenbang said, "Gentlemen, the beast tide is coming soon. I won't waste any more words. Now I will deploy the combat mission."

These two are Comrades Yu Jiawei and Deng Jun, both of whom possess the cultivation of a senior warrior spirit master.

From now on, Lu Gang, Long Wentao, Wang Yanfeng, Jiang Lie, Tu Guanyu, Yu Jiawei, and Deng Jun, you seven will temporarily form Hunting Squad No. 3, responsible for hunting on the northern wall of the war base, with a focus on targeting high-level monsters on the northern flank of the beast tide.

As for Lu Jin, you are a high-level War God Spirit Master. Go to the eastern city wall of the war base to participate in the interception of the high-level monsters facing the front of the beast tide.
