Gao Wu: My freshman internship was a battle on the front lines.

Chapter 111, Part 3: Chasing After Wan Kan

Zhang Lizhuo was speechless for a moment.

Look at what you're saying.

Once I break through to the sixth rank, I can defeat the eighth rank.

I'll go check it out later.

That's an eighth-tier beast!

Do you know what the concept of an eighth order is?

That's the Great Xia!

There are fewer than ten level eight experts.

But considering Ye Feng's terrifying combat power...

That's a fifth-tier killer who can kill a half-step seventh-tier master.

Perhaps this isn't just some far-fetched story.

Taking the opportunity, Cao Zhenshou asked Zhang Lizhuo, "Inspector Zhang, wasn't the city lord I recommended for Jiangcheng quite good?"

"The lord of the manor will probably approve it, right?"

"Absolutely approved." Zhang Lizhuo didn't hesitate this time.

"I'll report to the Lord of the Prefecture as soon as I get back. Ye Feng is the only one fit to be the Lord of Jiangcheng."

Ye Feng raised an eyebrow: "I haven't agreed yet."

"If you don't take the position, who will?" Cao Keyuan retorted.

Ye Feng thought about it and realized that it made sense.

He possesses the amazing skill of "Kill Lord" for racking up kill points.

One must have power and an army to do so.

Just then!

In the distance, thick black smoke suddenly rose from the horizon.

The smoke wasn't coming from just one or two places; it covered the entire mountainside, spreading out from the depths of the southern mountains.

Cao Keyuan's expression changed.

"A beast tide." His voice was somewhat hoarse. "It's at least seventy or eighty thousand beasts."

Cao Keyuan clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.

He knew it; he knew things weren't that simple.

How could three thousand people possibly defeat hundreds of thousands of strange beasts?

No matter how strong Ye Feng is, he can't protect everyone.

Those three thousand people must have already sacrificed themselves.

These strange beasts killed them, greatly boosting their morale. Now they are going to press their advantage and attack Jiangcheng.

"Ye Feng," Cao Keyuan's voice was hoarse, "have your three thousand men already..."

"Still alive," Ye Feng said.

Cao Keyuan ignored him and continued, "Don't worry, we will definitely avenge this!"

I said, they are still alive.

Cao Keyuan was stunned. He looked up at the vast expanse of black smoke in the distance.

That was dust kicked up by being trampled.

Those strange beasts weren't charging; they were fleeing for their lives.

The wind wolves were running at the front; they were fast and had great stamina, but at this moment, there was no ferocity or savagery in their eyes, only fear.

They were running so hard they were out of breath, their tongues were sticking out, and some were even foaming at the mouth.

Behind the wind wolf were the armored beasts. They weren't as fast as the wind wolf, but they were running as fast as they could.

Some armored beasts, while running, would suddenly collapse to the ground due to their weak legs. Those following behind would step on them, and after a scream, they would fall silent.

Behind the armored beasts were bloodthirsty tigers. They were supposed to be the most ferocious.

But now it runs faster than a rabbit.

Some bloodthirsty tigers even began attacking lower-level beasts blocking their way, just to clear a path for themselves.

Behind these fleeing beasts was a group of humans.

The three thousand people were divided into hundreds of small teams, some in groups of three or five, and some in teams of a dozen or so.

They had no formation, no commander, and each fought their own game, but their efficiency was ridiculously high.

Every squad is hunting down the alien beasts, and every strike is reaping lives.

Dong Shengchong was at the very front.

With his full power unleashed at the late stage of the fifth rank, he took down a fifth-rank beast king with a single strike.

He was covered in blood, and his sword was chipped and nicked.

But the more he chopped, the more excited he became, each strike more powerful and faster than the last.

Boss Zhao followed behind Dong Sheng.

Although he was only at the early stage of the fifth rank, his swordsmanship was ruthless, and he always targeted the vital points of the beasts.

Ari and the old hunter were on the other side, one on the left and one on the right, working together seamlessly.

Three thousand men chased after seventy or eighty thousand strange beasts, from the Azure Dragon Fortress all the way to the edge of the southern mountains, for dozens of kilometers, and they were still chasing.

Ye Feng looked at the dark, surging tide of beasts, a slight smile playing on his lips.

He glanced back at Cao Keyuan.

Cao Keyuan's mouth was open.

Director Zhou's glasses were askew.

Old Zhang held his broadsword in mid-air and forgot to put it down.

Zhang Lizhuo's pupils were trembling violently.

"You mean this, the one you said 'almost defeated the monster tide'?" Cao Keyuan's voice sounded a little off.

Ye Feng thought for a moment: "Isn't that enough to lie down on? The beasts are almost scattered."

Cao Keyuan remained silent.

"Jiangcheng," he looked up at the horde of alien beasts that were being chased and routed.

Looking at the three thousand figures covered in blood, howling as they chased after the strange beast, he spoke slowly.

"From that moment on, I stood up."

"Going to rescue? Going to seek revenge?" Ye Feng looked at Cao Keyuan with a slight smile.

Cao Keyuan blushed.

When the four of them boarded the airship, they were all as anxious as ants on a hot pan.

Zhang Lizhuo was already considering how to report the "fall of Jiangcheng" to Zhao Gongming.

And now? Three thousand people are chasing after seventy or eighty thousand strange beasts.

They chased him all the way from Qinglong Fortress to the edge of the southern mountains, and it looked like they were about to escape the mountains.

"I think," Old Zhang put his broadsword down from his shoulder, "they don't need rescue."

Cao Keyuan glared at Old Zhang.

Old Zhang pretended not to see it.

"Let's go check it out," Director Zhou said, adjusting his glasses. "Chasing this far must be exhausting. What if the beast turns around and attacks?"

He was interrupted by a sound coming from afar before he could finish speaking.

"kill!"

Three thousand people roared in unison, their voices shaking the heavens and the earth.

Those seventy or eighty thousand strange beasts ran even faster.

Several fifth-tier beast kings attempted to stop and organize a counterattack.

But as soon as he turned around, he was hacked down by Dong Sheng and Boss Zhao.

The beasts behind them, leaderless, continued to run.

Zhang Lizhuo stood on the airship, watching this scene through binoculars, his hands trembling slightly.

He was a mid-stage sixth-tier expert who had seen many battlefields, but he had never seen a scene like this before.

Three thousand people chasing after seventy or eighty thousand strange beasts—this isn't war, it's slaughter.

One-sided massacre.

Each of the human warriors was enveloped in a golden shield, which left no mark on the attacks of the alien beasts.

Each of their strikes was heavier than the last, and each strike was faster than the last.

"What do you new soldiers eat?" he couldn't help but ask.

Ye Feng thought for a moment: "Qi and Blood Fruit, Blood Soul Fruit, and Ye Feng's special talent buff."

Zhang Lizhuo didn't understand, but that night when the airship landed in the City Lord's Mansion Square.

He received a battle report from his adjutant on the New Army's victory at White Tiger Fortress.

Zero casualties!

Three thousand men! They killed tens of thousands of alien beasts from the White Tiger Fortress and suffered zero casualties?!

Keep in mind that two thousand of these three thousand were new recruits.

Many of the new soldiers had never even killed any wild beasts in the wilderness.

then!

Zhang Lizhuo saw this report.

I was so angry!

Jiangcheng, in order to save face, actually fabricated his war achievements.

This could lead to a military court-martial!

But seeing this shocking scene before my eyes...

He was still in shock and hadn't come to his senses.

Ye Feng glanced at the four people on the airship, each with a different expression, and then at the three thousand soldiers still chasing the alien beast in the distance.

"Alright, time to get to work." He flew towards the battlefield on the throwing knife disc.

Cao Zhenshou and the other three also followed.

When the three thousand soldiers saw Ye Feng return, their cheers shook the heavens and the earth.

Dong Sheng fought his way out of the beast horde, covered in blood: "Ye Feng, where are those sixth-tier beast kings?"

"Killed them. Ten of them, all of them."

Dong Sheng's eyes lit up: "What about those two half-step seventh-tier dragons?"

"The Black Dragon is dead. The Blue Dragon is dead too," Ye Feng glanced at the distant airship.

The cheers of the three thousand soldiers shook the heavens and the earth once again.

Ye Feng raised his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet.

"Keep killing! Kill until the beasts never dare to set foot in Jiangcheng again!"

"From this day forward, there will be no more strange beasts in the southern mountains that can stop us."

The cheers were like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami crashing.

Some people cried, some laughed, and some hugged each other, crying and laughing at the same time.

The southern mountains that had oppressed Jiangcheng for decades were finally trampled underfoot by the human race.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
