The villains are redeemed, and the heroines cry and beg for forgiveness.

Although living in a slum, Gu Ran managed to get his hands on a rare television set through his connections.

To facilitate management, the city of Saint-Yoel divided the slums into several large districts using letters, and then further divided the many smaller areas within those districts into numbers.

According to the official division of Saint Yor City, the slum area where Gu Ran lives is the D District, the 32nd Subdistrict, or D32.

Each region is guarded by a legion stationed at the border between the inner city and the slums, commanded by a legion commander with the rank of major general.

Duville was an exception, as he was also a major general, but only commanded a division of the city's garrison.

Furthermore, Deauville is very high-profile and frequently appears in television interviews.

......

Outside the light screen.

"General Duville, the Duville surname... Oh, I remember now, isn't that the name from that massive beast tide? That beast tide was supposed to be a once-in-twenty-year event, so many people died. Even members of the Duville family, who were candidates for governor of Saint-Joel City, died heroically. Could it be this General Duville?"

“Oh, now that you mention it, I remember now. His name should be Kelly Duville. He is said to be the most outstanding military genius of the Duville family in recent decades. Back then, he fought for 48 hours in this beast tide and annihilated all the beasts in this area. He was willing to die rather than retreat. He was indeed a man of honor and lived up to the name of the Duville family.”

Many people are familiar with the Duville family of St. Joel because St. Joel has a rather unique system where several families take turns ruling, and the Duville family is one of the candidate families for this rotating rule.

"Back then, all the major cities reported extensively on the sacrifice of Kelly Duville, the most outstanding military genius of the Duville family. Without him, the beast tide might have attacked Saint-Joel City from District D."

"Such a genius has fallen. If he were still alive, his military talent would have greatly enhanced the strength of humanity."

"Yes, humanity needs top-tier experts, and it also needs outstanding military geniuses like General Duville. With General Duville, there's no doubt that these ferocious beasts will eventually be wiped out, but unfortunately, he also sacrificed himself in the end."

Military genius is very helpful in commanding large-scale army operations. In the current world situation, although the beast tide is no longer the greatest threat to mankind, an empire composed of beasts and other marine races has emerged in the ocean world, forming a huge force.

Meanwhile, the celestial realm and the abyss, which were originally not very related to humans, are slowly merging with the world they inhabit, adding more uncertainty to the safety of the human world.

It's hard to say that humanity won't clash with these forces. In that case, besides competing with top-tier individuals, we'll definitely also have to compete with military combat capabilities.

23. The city's garrison was routed!

In the light screen.

After finding the communicator, Gu Ran carried it with him and headed towards the front lines of the battlefield.

Regardless, the slum now ravaged by ferocious beasts is where he has lived for over a decade, so at least he and these city defense troops now share a common enemy.

From afar, he saw the city defense army charging towards the large group of ferocious beasts gathered in front of them in a huge fan shape.

"These ferocious beasts seem a bit strange." Gu Ran stopped to observe them.

The ferocious beasts in the distance had a hideous and menacing appearance, with blood-red eyes and a murderous aura.

But strangely, it neither attacked the humans nor ran away; instead, it stayed in place.

It seems they were deliberately waiting for humans.

Suddenly, a very bad feeling arose in his mind.

Could this be a strategy employed by the ferocious beast?

They were simply waiting in comfort for the enemy to tire themselves out.

Did the commander of this city defense force realize it?

Gu Ran used a spatial teleportation to stand on the top of a collapsed building, looking around for the commander of the city defense army.

At the same time, he turned the communicator volume up to the maximum, hoping to hear a clue.

The communicator's channel is special; it's a dedicated military channel that can only be transmitted unidirectionally from the military commander to the soldiers.

"Zizi-"

The communicator rang again.

"Attention all levels! Everyone must cooperate with the special forces team to create conditions for them to carry out the decapitation strike!"

"Do not fear sacrifice; those who retreat will be punished according to the laws of generals!"

"Your glory will be etched in human history, and your families will be well taken care of!"

"My soldiers, charge forward!"

His words were passionate and persuasive.

However, Gu Ran couldn't help but frown. Didn't he sense the abnormality of the ferocious beast?

He also sensed the abnormality of the ferocious beast and came up with a solution, but I didn't understand it.

General Duville received much praise on television; as the saying goes, great reputations are never undeserved.

Gu Ran couldn't help but carefully consider the other party's intentions.

"Was the decapitation strike carried out by those elite beasts?"

Gu Ran looked up and gazed in the direction of the ferocious beast.

Since the army and the ferocious beasts were already very close, the city's defensive cannons could not be fired at this location, lest they accidentally injure their own people.

Therefore, to eliminate the elite beasts among the ferocious beasts, we must rely on the city defense troops themselves.

General Duville's tactical objective was clearly to eliminate the elite beasts at all costs, and his confidence likely stemmed from the special forces team he mentioned in the communicator—a special forces team composed entirely of people with superpowers.

Gu Ran teleported to the top of another high-rise building, a suitable spot for spectating the battle.

If the city's defense forces can handle these ferocious beasts, then he won't have to take action.

To cover the special forces team with superpowers, the city defense forces launched an attack with almost all of their forces, using their powerful firepower to draw the attention of the beast horde.

Meanwhile, the hidden special forces team took advantage of the dispersed beast horde to launch an attack on their target.

Their primary target was a giant gorilla, a ferocious beast that stood over ten meters tall, with blood-red fur that stood upright like a porcupine.

"This is the first time I've ever seen a superpower that allows someone to turn into an animal." Gu Ran was slightly surprised when he saw one of the special forces teams suddenly transform into a giant eagle.

There are many types of superpowers, and it is estimated that no one in the world can truly count how many kinds of superpowers there are. Among them, the ability to transform into beasts is actually a relatively common superpower, but Gu Ran is not very knowledgeable at the moment, and this is the first time he has seen it in reality.

The giant eagle, carrying several team members, flew to the head of the gorilla-like beast. A handsome man jumped off the eagle and landed on the back of the gorilla-like beast's neck.

With hands clasped together, a flash of light, and the two swords were sheathed.

He almost severed half of the gorilla's neck!

Throughout the entire process, the gorilla-like beast was completely powerless to resist.

The special forces team also made good progress in the other areas, achieving success in each one.

However, Gu Ran became even more uneasy after seeing the reaction of the ferocious beasts.

"Found it, it's over there." Gu Ran spotted the location of Duville's battlefield command post and teleported away from the spot.

......

"General, the special forces team's plan is progressing smoothly. We have already eliminated six elite beasts!"

A messenger looked at the message that had been sent to him and shouted happily.

"Haha, Staff Officer Yang, what do you think? I told you, you were overthinking it. With my special forces team full of superpowers, how could I possibly lose?"

“Executing the decapitation plan is the most correct course of action. Once most of the elite beasts have been eliminated, we can then bombard these lower-level beasts with artillery fire.”

Inside the military tent, a blond young man in his twenties patted the shoulder of a middle-aged man in his thirties with black hair and yellow skin.

While elite beasts cannot withstand the damage from the city's massive cannons, they can withstand the small-caliber artillery fire of the army.

If these elite beasts are not eliminated first, they may very well attack the artillery positions.

"Commander Duville, I still maintain my opinion. These ferocious beasts are in abnormal condition. We cannot be rash!" Staff Officer Yang said earnestly.

Upon hearing Staff Officer Yang refer to "Commander Deauville," Kelly Deauville's expression stiffened slightly.

The reason he made others call him "General" was because, in his eyes, the rank of "General" was higher than that of "Division Commander," and he was "on the same level" as Yang Tian, ​​the commander of the army group, so he preferred to hear it.

Only this staff officer, who also came from the Yang family, would call him "division commander," which bothered him somewhat.

He must have been sent by that old scoundrel Yang Tian to restrict my development.

This is something Kelly Duville often kept repeating to herself.

The Yang family has been operating within the army group in District D for many years and is deeply entrenched. The family sent him here to expand the family's influence and extend their reach into this army group.

Therefore, Kelly Duville was not surprised that the Yang family had planted a spy in his unit. However, he was very dissatisfied with Staff Officer Yang's questioning of his decisions and his constant disagreement with him.

"This time, I'm going to show you all what a glorious victory I'm going to achieve!"

Kelly Duvel sneered inwardly.

This special forces team with superpowers was obtained by him from his family. Strictly speaking, it belongs to the Duville family's private army, rather than a unit organized by the D District Army Group.

The purpose was to seize this opportunity to win a major victory, increase his seniority in the army, and surpass the power of the Yang family.

He dismissed Staff Officer Yang's repeated warnings about the unusual condition of the ferocious beast and the need to avoid rash actions as mere attempts to prevent him from achieving merit.

"Haha, what's there to be afraid of in these mindless beasts? Staff Officer Yang is such a coward! My special forces team with superpowers is almost victorious! Just wait for our victory celebration."

Outside the military tent, Gu Ran frowned as he overheard the conversation between the two people.

"What an arrogant commander!"

This made his sense of unease even stronger.

"General...the front lines have completely collapsed!" The communications officer inside the military tent said in a trembling voice.
