Chapter 141: Chapter 141 The Push Begins

“Look! What’s that!?” A man shouted in shock.

It instantly woke up those who were still stunned.

In the swarm’s base, dozens of monsters crawled out of the slimy bloody-colored substances. The top half of their bodies were thin and long, and the bottom half of their bodies were big and fat. They all wiggled their bodies to stand up straight. And then, as if they were trying to push something out their bodies, their bottom half suddenly expanded, and the swelling part of their bodies began to quickly move through their bodies that were roughly ten meters long towards the top of their bodies. When they opened their mouths, instantly, many dazzling fireballs were shot out, and flew over the river, heading towards Jin Ling city!

“Take cover! Take cover!”

Soldiers that were on the lookout shouted with their hoarse voices to remind those who were still standing and watching to take cover.

Chu Yunsheng immediately dragged Ding Yan away and jumped off the shipping containers. They leaned closely against the containers and waited for the fireballs to land.

“Boom!”

The fireballs had a diameter up to three meters. They were smashed on the defense line and instantly blew up. The fierce fire energy immediately burst out and set surroundings on fire.

Those who couldn’t find a place to hide, all ran around, attempting to dodge the fireballs.

The fierce fire element energy was different than the regular fire, even if it was the dark warriors that were hit by it, they would also end up dead or injured

As the strange long monsters were constantly shooting out fireballs, the Western defense line quickly fell into chaos.

The dark warrior regiment had not properly formed yet, all the dark warriors were scattered and once again fought alone.

“Medic! Medic!” Two soldiers shouted hoarsely while running out the place they were hiding. They were trying to save a soldier, who was on fire.

Behind them, there was another fireball that was heading toward them. If they don’t move away, it will definitely land on them.

Chu Yunsheng roughly knew how powerful the fireball was. He estimated that with the help of both the energy shield and the combat armor, he would be able to block the attack for a while.

As he was thinking, he immediately activated his armor and patted Lu Yu’s shoulder.

“Lu Yu!” He shouted as he leapt forward to block the fireball.

“Whoosh!”

Lu Yu immediately realized what Chu Yunsheng wanted him to do. Within a split second, he shot out the frost arrow.

The fierce ice element collided with the violent fire element. The ice element was trying its best to reduce the fireball’s power. However, one frost arrow was not enough!

With the help of the armour and the energy shield, Chu Yunsheng barely slowed down the fireball and diverted its course.

Then, Lu Yu unleashed the second frost arrow. It was stuck onto the fireball and stopped it from exploding. The third arrow closely followed behind. When it struck the fireball, the fireball was finally frozen!

“All the ice dark warriors, immediately unleash your power to reduce the power of the fireballs!” Chu Yunsheng shouted while pushing the icy “fireball” away!

Those fireballs were not ordinary fireballs, regular water could not put out its fire at all. They had to use the ice elemental energy to destroy it.

However, after Chu Yunsheng shouted, only around 30 people started to unleash their energy. Most of those people were from his gang. There were very few people that from other gangs followed his order.

“In the name of the dark warrior regiment commander, I order all the ice dark warriors to cooperate with Chu Yunsheng. Any deserters will be killed immediately!” no one knew from where did Zhu Lingdie get a megaphone, but she was shouting through the megaphone while standing on the higher ground, ignoring many fireballs that were still flying in the air.

What Chu Yunsheng did earlier made her believe that there was still a chance. As a regiment commander, she had to act immediately and act harshly. However, almost half of the ice elemental warriors still only cared about themselves. They were running around, seeking covers. No one seemed to listen to Zhu Lingdie’s command.

“Deserter! Kill!” Zhu Lingdie suddenly said sternly while pointing at a Rank-2 ice elemental warrior, who was still hiding in the corner. She immediately gave the order to a Rank-3 Yi-class dark warrior, who was behind her.

The Rank-3 Yi-class dark warrior, followed by three Rank-2 dark warriors, dashed towards the ice elemental warrior, while many fireballs were still heading towards them. The ice elemental warrior’s face already turned pale. But there was no second chance for him. He was instantly killed under the cover that he thought was going to protect him during the battle!

The ice elemental warrior’s gang members did not dare to move, the deputy commander Ding Yan had already asked Yao Xiang to take a dozen fire warriors and Bai Yutang’s group to assist those three people.

“Those who dare to disobey the order will be killed just like him!” Zhu Lingdie shouted using the megaphone while standing on the higher ground. At that moment, she looked like the goddess of death.

All the dark warriors were used to an unrestrained lifestyle. No one expected that Zhu Lingdie would really do it. With help from Bai Yutang and Chu Yunsheng’s group, there was no way for them to overthrow Zhu Lingdie, so they had no choice but to grit their teeth to follow the order.

“Wu Kezhao, we are responsible for blocking the fireballs, all ice elemental warriors assist us to freeze them! Fire elemental warriors! Watch out for the green-shelled insects!” Chu Yunsheng pointed at Wu Kezhao and shouted.

Amongst all the dark warriors here, only Wu Kezhao’s metal elemental ability was able to block the fireballs like him. It would be a suicide mission if Chu Yunsheng asked other people to block the fireballs!

“What!? Fuck you! Why me! I was injured…” Wu Kezhao cursed. But he did not dare to say it loudly.

The Western District’s defence line was split into the northern part and the southern part. The North was defended by the 5th division, and Chu Yunsheng’s regiment was only responsible for the southern part of the defence line.

However, even if it was just half of the defense line, it was still very long. Fireballs were flying towards them from all the directions. Even if the 300 hundred dark warriors all spread out, they still could not stop all of them. So the dark warrior regiment only focused on the area that was under the insect’s the heaviest attack.

Chu Yunsheng, Wu Kezhao, and the little tiger were constantly blocking the fireballs, all the ice elemental warriors were trying their best to assist them to freeze the fireballs in time.

In the beginning, they were still very clumsy. Most of the time, they would freeze Chu Yunsheng with the fireballs, but slowly the cooperation between everyone started to improve.

Some of the fireballs could not be blocked in time. However, once they landed, all the ice elemental dark warriors would try to put it out as soon as possible.

The casualty rate started to reduce. The ordinary soldiers could finally retreat back to their heavy weapon positions, and got ready for the green-shelled insects.

“Bratatat! Bratatat!…”

When the cloud of Green-shelled insects just flew past the river, they were immediately greeted by a storm of bullets. A few machine guns were controlled by the gun dark warriors, who had been sent to the heavy weapon positions by Zhu Lingdie.

There were around 20 of them, and everyone took turns to use the guns in case of the energy exhaustion.

When the insects got closer, many rocket launchers started to fire at the cloud of the green-shelled insects!

Instantly, the Western district’s sky was filled with dark dots and rocket explosions.

Almost ⅓ of the green-shelled insects could not make it to the other side of the river. But the remaining of them still flew towards the defence line at high speed.

Ding Yan and Zhu Lingdie had already arranged the fire elemental dark warriors in a battle formation and waited for the green-shelled insects to get even closer. The 9th division’s ordinary soldiers were behind the covers and using guns to assist them.

The bloody battle was coming towards them.

It was either they die, or the insects die!

The sound of explosions, gunfires, screams, and insects’ screeches never stopped.

Chu Yunsheng blocked one of the fireballs and stopped to adjust his breath.

Gazing at the strange long monsters at the other side of the river, Chu Yunsheng began to notice something.

Those monsters seemed to have reached their limits. They had already stopped shooting out fireballs.

Wu Kezhao had already collapsed on the ground because of the exhaustion. His energy was far less than Chu Yunsheng.

Suddenly, a green-shelled insect broke out of the bullet storm and dived at the little tiger with its sharp beak. Chu Yunsheng guessed that the little tiger probably also did not have much energy left. It might not be able to dodge this attack. So he immediately gave up blocking more fireballs and tried to save the little tiger.

“Bang!”

A loud gunshot suddenly rang out behind Chu Yunsheng. The sound clearly was not made by the regular firearm.

The green-shelled insect was hit. There was a hole in its body, and it was constantly bleeding out the slimy liquid. However, it was only slowed down for a split second. It was still flying towards the little tiger.

“Bang! Bang!…”

Several continuous gunshots.

Not a single one missed!

The green-shelled insect was hit. It lost its speed and fell to the ground. This time, the green-shelled insect was completely dead.

Turning around and looking at the direction where the sound came from, Chu Yunsheng saw a tall and slender woman in a trench coat, holding a type 1 dark energy gun. It seemed like she had finished one clip, and she was trying to reload the gun.

“Brother Chu, are you alright!” Yao Xiang quickly ran to Chu Yunsheng after he killed a green-shelled insect.

“I’m okay. Your sword is too powerful. So be careful, don’t hurt our own people!” Chu Yunsheng reminded him.

Yao Xiang nodded his head, and then dashed out once again.

Picking up a submachine gun from a puddle of blood next to a soldier, and taking out a Fire enchantment talisman from the storage talisman, Chu Yunsheng began to enchanted the submachine gun with additional fire elemental damage.

The pistol was too slow, and the sword was not suitable for the long-range fight. He could unleash the sword Qi, but it would waste too much energy.

He just needed to use the submachine gun to shoot down the green-shelled insects, and the injured green-shelled insects could be dealt with by those Rank-1 dark warriors.

After the gun was enchanted, he once again dashed towards the front line with the little tiger.

———————- The 9th Division Defense Headquarters ————————————

“Commander, the situation has been stabilized!” Qin Min hurriedly ran in from outside.

“Stabilized shit… if there isn’t any river or the bridge wasn’t destroyed, the swarm would have probably reached Jin Ling city already!” said Fu Liaoyuan while gazing at the front line.

“Urgent report! Commander! The Second Division in the Southern District defense line is requesting for the assistance!” said a signaller after he gave the salute.

“Tell them to hold on for a half-hour, I’ll send a regiment over!” Fu Liaoyuan knitted his brows and said.

“Commander, but the Southern District has three divisions, we only have two!” Qin Min tried to suggest something.

“But we have the Yangtze river, they don’t! This is it, no more discussions! Also, draft a new plan, and ask Zhu Yatou (Zhu Lingdie) to come here. Prepare a suicide squad and get them ready to cross the river, we need to blow up those tombs! We can’t afford to lose our defense line, we need to stop them from advancing any further!” Fu Liaoyuan gritted his teeth and said ferociously.
