The ultimate Valkyrie has fallen for me

The situation is now quite clear: something has happened outside the city, or rather, in the outskirts of Dongzhenwei City, causing a large influx of demonic beasts.

Continuing forward is extremely dangerous!

After all, they have already encountered a lord-level monster.

"keep going!"

The six people looked at each other and said in unison.

Continuing forward is dangerous, but if we abandon this mission and return, our accumulated points for this quarter will likely fall behind the Beidou team, at which point we will lose the option to compete and have almost no chance of winning.

Just as we initially resolved, we must seize every opportunity and complete all tasks!

As for danger, how could a professional martial artist not face danger?

As members of the Nandou team, they are not only more talented, but also more competitive!

We will give it our all and strive to surpass the Beidou team in this quarter's competition!

"It's not enough for us to make the decision alone; we must ask the employer's opinion, since the situation is different now."

After making the decision, Tang Guangming spoke.

Everyone nodded slightly, their expressions serious.

That's right. Although the employer wanted to go to Dongzhenwei City, she might not have made that choice if her life was in danger.

As a guard, one must be responsible for the employer's safety and should respect the employer's opinion at this time.

"I'll go ask."

Shen Qiubing said something and walked straight to the second car where the employer was.

Shen Qiubing returned after only a minute in the car.

"She must keep moving forward."

"What urgent matter could be so important that you'd risk your life to go to Dongzhen?"

"This is none of our business. Our only responsibility is to protect her safety with our lives!"

Shen Qiubing's face was cold, and her voice was firm and unwavering.

"I was just curious. It's good that she's going; that way we won't have to abandon our mission."

Jin Xinxin smiled and patted Song Pandun next to her as they got into the car.

The others didn't linger and returned to their respective cars.

The situation is still unclear, and staying outside for even a second longer could mean facing great danger.

Therefore, everyone must hurry and get to Dongzhenwei City as soon as possible.

Humph!

The next moment, accompanied by the roar of engines, the convoy started again and headed towards Dongzhenwei City at a speed of over 200 kilometers per hour.

As the convoy roared past, the dust it kicked up resembled a yellow dragon, stretching straight eastward along the military road.

Several hours passed in the blink of an eye, and it was already sunset.

As expected, the journey over the past few hours was not smooth, with repeated attacks from monsters.

According to the original plan, they should have arrived at Dongzhenwei City around 2 p.m., and then returned to the base city before dark.

But now, we've only gone about halfway.

Fortunately, although the number of monsters was increasing, sometimes forcing them to retreat or take a detour, they did not encounter any more lord-level monsters, and the caravan did not suffer any damage.

"What do we do next?"

Looking back, at the place where the wilderness meets the sky, the sun is slowly setting.

It will be dark soon.

Nights in the wilderness are especially dangerous. Although this is just the countryside, the current situation is probably even more troublesome than in the wilderness.

"I propose we continue!"

Tang Guangming's voice came from car number four. Gao Shu was in the same car as him, and although he didn't speak, he obviously shared the same opinion.

"We also agree to move forward."

When the person in car number one spoke up, Jin Xinxin and Song Pandun shared the same sentiment.

"We agree."

When Shen Qiubing spoke from car number two, she used the word "we," which naturally meant that she had already discussed it with the employer.

"agree."

Car number three only had Lu Yuan in it, and then he gave a faint reply.

Nighttime is dangerous, but given the current situation, every minute before reaching Dongzhenwei City is dangerous!

Since that's the case, we might as well get into the city as soon as possible.

Everyone agreed and, without saying anything more, pressed their feet firmly on the accelerator and continued to speed up.

As the convoy roared along the straight, war-prepared road in the wilderness, the sun finally dipped below the horizon behind them.

The sky suddenly darkened.

The weather isn't very good tonight. The moon is half-hidden and not a full moon, so the moonlight is very faint.

In order not to disturb the monsters lurking in the dead of night, the convoy did not turn on its headlights.

Fortunately, the defense road is a paved road, and its boundaries are relatively clear compared to other parts of the wilderness.

Jin Xinxin and his team led the way in their vehicle, and they communicated via radio from time to time to ensure that no one fell behind.

Sizzle!

Half an hour after nightfall, car number one braked suddenly to a stop again.

"Another monster?"

The car behind stopped immediately and couldn't help but ask.

"If it's not a demonic beast, damn it, this is probably even more troublesome."

Jin Xinxin's voice was low and tinged with worry.

Once the vehicle came to a stop, Lu Yuan got out.

Tang Guangming and the others got down as well, and the group walked forward together.

After taking only a few steps, I saw a cluster of lights ahead.

Who would dare to openly light a lamp on such a dangerous night in the countryside?

It's the army!

Upon approaching, one could see an army stationed by the roadside.

The originally wide war preparation road has now been temporarily blocked by roadblocks.

"What happened?"

When Lu Yuan and the others arrived, they asked Jin Xinxin, who had arrived earlier, about her situation.

"Damn it, the road is blocked."

Jin Xinxin frowned, and in her anger, she forgot to control herself and started swearing again.

Road closure?

Lu Yuan and the others exchanged glances and frowned.

Just as Lu Yuan and the others had estimated, something happened in the outskirts of Dongzhenwei City, causing a large number of demonic beasts to pour in, including even lord-level ones!

The garrison in Dongzhenwei City has been mobilized and is making every effort to clear out the enemy.

During this period, the military road will be closed and civilians are prohibited from using it in order to avoid affecting the passage of the army.

"What should we do?"

After learning about the situation, the six people gathered together to discuss it.

With the military road closed, and the countryside so vast, there's always another way to travel. However, the complex and varied terrain would inevitably slow down the journey considerably.

Moreover, compared to the war preparedness roads that the army frequently travels back and forth to clear, other areas are more dangerous.

Of course, the current situation is probably similar across the entire Dongzhen suburbs, mainly in terms of travel speed.

The decision was whether to proceed directly through the countryside to Dongzhenwei City, or to stop for now and wait for a passage before continuing on.

"Let's wait and see!"

Tang Guangming inquired with the guards nearby, but they didn't know why the demonic beasts had flooded in, as their level was relatively low. As for when they would be cleared out, that was uncertain; their job was only to block the road.

The group ultimately decided to wait there overnight and see how things went tomorrow.

If things can return to normal by tomorrow, that would be wonderful.

If that doesn't work, we'll have to travel through the countryside.

It's only one night, there's still time.

There are troops stationed here to block the roads, making it safer than other places.

Let's set up camp.

After making the decision, everyone gathered their vehicles and formed a simple campsite.

With only a few hours left until dawn, Song Pandun and Gao Shu took turns keeping watch.

As for the other four people, they all had to drive, so they didn't take turns with them.

After everything was arranged, everyone went back to their cars to rest.

"Um!"

In the dead of night, Lu Yuan, who was in car number three, suddenly woke up. He glanced at car number two next to him and a sense of danger welled up in his heart.
