Devouring the Stars: The Lord of the Sky

Chapter 33 Huashan Group Two
Yu Zhenbang slightly altered the original battle plan.

The canyon where the No. 2 war base is located runs east-west, sandwiched between the northeastern base city and the southern part of the Changbai Mountains.

Therefore, the western wall of the war base is located in the rear, where the defensive pressure is the lowest.

The city walls on the north and south sides form the flanks, posing a moderate defensive challenge.

The eastern section of the city wall is the front line against the beast tide, and its defensive pressure is undoubtedly the greatest.

The original battle plan was to transfer all the support teams from the Southeast Guard District to the northern flank.

However, since Lu Jin is a high-level War God mentalist, it needs to be slightly modified.

Good steel should be used where it counts. Placing Lu Jin on the flank would be a waste of manpower. Only by transferring him to the eastern city wall, where the defensive pressure is greatest, can he be of the greatest use.

Of course, the area of ​​War Base No. 2 is not very large, and with the speed of the warriors, there is enough time to make corresponding tactical arrangements based on the real-time situation.

"Yes, I promise to complete the mission!"

After the mission was assigned, Lu Gang and his seven companions climbed the northern wall of the war base, while Lu Jin followed Yu Zhenbang to the eastern wall to confront the beast tide head-on.

Eastern city wall of War Base No. 2.

Yu Zhenbang led Lu Jin to the eleven figures gathered together and said to the burly middle-aged man at the head, "Team Leader Jiang Long, this is War God Lu Jin, who will be participating in the hunting operation on the eastern front of the beast tide with you."

After introducing Lu Jin to Jiang Long, Yu Zhenbang left.

With the beast tide approaching, as the commander of the guard area, he had to return to the command post to take command.

Jiang Long smiled and extended his right hand: "You must be Lu Jin? I've heard so much about you. I am Jiang Long, the leader of the second group of Huashan, and a senior War God martial artist."

Extending his right hand, Lu Jin shook hands and said, "Lu Jin, a prospective member of Mount Hua, and a senior War God Spiritualist."

"Advanced War God Spiritualist? Impressive! Song Yufei, member of the second group of Mount Hua, advanced War God martial artist."

Before Jiang Long could speak, a tall, thin middle-aged man next to him spoke up.

"Hello, Brother Song. I still have a lot to learn from you seniors."

Lu Jin said modestly.

Soon, the other nine people also introduced themselves to Lu Jin.

When the Northeast Base City encountered the beast tide, not only did the four major defense districts send support teams, but Huashan also sent a small group to provide assistance.

Furthermore, if the situation deteriorates further, Mount Hua will continue to send out expert reinforcements.

Apart from Lu Jin, the exception of the Southeast Guard District, the support team members of the various Guard Districts were all only at the junior War God level.

However, the leader of the eleven members of the second group of Huashan, Jiang Long, is a peak-level advanced war god martial artist, only one step away from becoming a councilor who surpasses the war god.

The group also includes two advanced War God warriors, three intermediate War God warriors, and one of them is an intermediate War God mentalist specializing in illusion techniques. The remaining five are beginner War God warriors.

The comparison clearly shows that the strength of the masters in each of the major regions is far inferior to that of Mount Hua.

Of course, this is because the Huashan organization has drawn many experts to form a mobile force, not because the various military districts cannot cultivate experts.

Furthermore, each regional defense zone cannot afford to use all its resources to support other regional defense zones in their operations; otherwise, if their own regional monsters lose their crystals, they'll be doomed.

"Old Song, you and Lu Jin will form a two-person team. You will be responsible for dealing with the lord-level monsters that attack you, and Lu Jin can handle the hunting of the monsters."

Jiang Long said to Song Yufei.

It's no exaggeration to say that, in terms of mindless, stationary output, Lu Jin alone could surpass the entire Huashan Second Group.

Sending a high-level War God warrior to act as Lu Jin's 'bodyguard' would provide him with more opportunities to stand still and deal damage, definitely allowing the two of them to achieve a higher kill count than if they hunted alone. It would also better curb the threat posed by the high-level monsters in the beast tide to the war base. "No problem, leave it to me!"

Song Yufei immediately patted his chest and assured him.

Subsequently, the remaining members of Huashan Group 2 formed two groups of three and one group of four. Each group, together with many armed soldiers and guards from the Northeast Guard District, defended a section of the city wall that was 100 meters long.

The defensive duo of Lu Jin and Song Yufei were positioned right in the center of the eastern city wall.

To the left of the duo was the defensive zone occupied by the team leader, Jiang Long, and two intermediate-level War God warriors.

On the right is the defensive area of ​​Li Zhenhua, another advanced War God warrior from the second group of Huashan, Ling Yi, an intermediate War God Illusionist, and two novice War God warriors.

These three defensive zones are undoubtedly the areas with the greatest defensive pressure during this beast tide.

"Beep beep beep-"

Shortly afterward, a piercing alarm sounded throughout the entire war base.

Immediately, Lu Jin, wielding the 9-series Breaking Army Battle Sword, had a thought, and a layer of black instantly spread across his skin, materializing the Black God Set inside the outer 9-series combat suit.

With the 9-series combat suit on the outside that can withstand the bites of high-ranking lords, and the Black God suit on the inside that even king-level monsters cannot destroy and can reduce attacks by 90%, one feels completely safe.

It's just that his current physical condition is a bit lacking, barely reaching the bottom line of a primary war god. Otherwise, if he were a high-level war god, he would be able to ignore the attacks of high-level lord monsters.

Even so, as long as he doesn't find himself surrounded by multi-headed high-level lord monsters, this beast tide won't pose a fatal threat to him.

It should be noted that there has never been a case on Earth of a warrior wielding the Black God Armor being killed by a Lord-level monster.

In the past, those who perished were either killed by King-level monsters with overwhelming power, or died at the hands of powerful councilors.

It's worth mentioning that Lu Jin wasn't the only one present with the Black God Set.

Among the eleven members of Huashan Group 2, Group Leader Jiang Long, two advanced War Gods including Song Yufei, and the intermediate War God Illusionist Ling Yi also possess the Black God Set.

"Bang bang bang bang bang—"

“Swish, swish, swish—”

Before the vanguard of the beast horde even arrived, the artillery positions deployed within the war base unleashed their fury.

A flash of light appeared at the muzzle of the massive howitzer, and the shell shot out of the barrel at lightning speed, soaring straight into the sky.

With a burst of exhaust flames and billowing white smoke, the massive rocket launcher mounted on the launch pad shot into the sky and crashed into the beast horde beyond sight.

Guided missile?

This weapon of war has been largely phased out by the major satellite zones.

With mushroom bombs not readily available, missiles are actually not suitable for killing monsters.

Advanced monsters are fast, making them difficult for missiles to hit.

While missiles have a high hit rate when fighting low-level monsters, they are likely to be a serious waste of resources.

In addition, the missile manufacturing cost is high, making its cost-effectiveness very low.

While howitzers and rocket launchers may not be considered high-tech weapons, they are simple to manufacture and affordable, making them the best weapons for the Weifang to deal with large-scale beast tides.

In any case, monsters of the Beast General level and above can be dealt with by advanced warriors or laser cannons, and ordinary war weapons are sufficient to efficiently eliminate the largest number of Beast Soldier level monsters.
