The battle is finally about to begin.

Fang Zheng stood on a hillside not far away, looking at the soldiers below. At present, the interior of Tokyo Special District was relatively stable. The reason was very simple. Although the media had reported that a large number of protogastric animals appeared around, there was no sign of Taurus. The engraved stone monument was also safe and there were no problems. In the minds of most people, as long as the stone monument was fine, then Tokyo Special District was safe.

Not to mention that the authorities deliberately concealed the news about Taurus, and only a very few people knew this secret. Moreover, Taurus has been lurking in the deep sea. Only through satellites can we capture the fluctuations it emits from time to time to determine the path and direction of Taurus.

At present, the Tokyo Special District has formulated a combat plan. The combat troops must first clear all the protogastric animals in Narita and Ryugasaki, and then build a defense line here. They hope to launch an attack on Taurus immediately after it lands on Kashima, and strive to completely repel or kill it. If this is not possible, it can also give the Tokyo Special District enough time to react - at least it can allow those high-ranking officials to evacuate early.

As for the ordinary people... it doesn't matter. After all, this is the Zodiac that destroyed the entire earth and pushed human civilization to the brink of destruction. There are thousands of cities destroyed in front of them, so there is no need to worry about one more.

At the moment, those soldiers were fighting with the gastrula, while Fang Zheng and the others were just watching the fun from the side.

It wasn't that they were slacking off, but the Self-Defense Forces required them not to go to the front line without orders, so Fang Zheng simply found a shady place in the back to play games with the other kids.

Although Bushicui and the others were very surprised and astonished by this order, Fang Zheng did not think there was anything wrong with it. You know, these Self-Defense Forces are the "heroes" of the Second Gastric War. In fact, it was they who won the Second Gastric War eight years ago and saved the people here from the brink of extinction. With such a brilliant "historical achievement", these soldiers are of course full of confidence in themselves. This is also the reason why the Holy Son's proposal was difficult to pass in the parliament before. Eight years ago, because of the victory in the Second Gastric War, many officers at that time were promoted to senior positions, and now they are also in high positions. For them, as long as they deal with gastric animals, there is no difference between eight years ago and eight years later. Before there were those damn monsters, they also eliminated the gastric animals, so these military representatives have always been very unhappy with the Tiandao Palace.

This time was the same. The orders given were very blunt, and even included threats such as "If you don't obey orders and arrive at the front line, we will not be responsible for any accidental injuries."

What else can Fang Zheng say about this?

Fishing is the most important thing!

Of course, the other party does not do this out of blind confidence.

“——!!!”

“They can really make trouble.”

Listening to the roar of fighter planes whizzing through the sky, Fang Zheng rubbed his ears unhappily. He had originally wanted to take a nap, but these damn bastards seemed to be deliberately going against him and launched a series of non-stop aerial bombardments on those gastrulae.

It's just a tactic of bullying the enemy because the air units didn't come, and you only dare to show off your power against the ground units, and then send infantry to make up the loss. What's there to be proud of?

Fang Zheng really couldn't figure out where these people's confidence came from. There were also airborne protogasters, but they didn't show up this time. Did they really think that they could deal with protogasters by relying on mortars and high-altitude bombing? Forget it, anyway, my mission was to clean up the mess, so it didn't matter whose mess I cleaned up - the result would be a mess.

"Big brother, do they really not need our help?"

Looking at the position in the distance, Bushicui asked with some concern. The continuous high-altitude bombing by those guys was quite effective. Basically, all the protogastric animals in the combat area were wiped out. At the moment, these soldiers also began to set up defensive positions here. Of course, no one cared about Fang Zheng and these "cursed children", and Fang Zheng was too lazy to deal with them.

"No need. Those people have their own self-esteem. Just let them do whatever they want."

As he spoke, Fang Zheng reached out and touched Bushicui's head, pinching her cute cat ears. The little girl blushed, but did not dodge. Instead, she rubbed Fang Zheng's hand like a cute kitten.

"Big brother's hands...are so warm..."

"ah--!"

And at this moment, Yanzhu suddenly jumped out from the side.

"Xiao Cui, you are so cunning! This time I will also--!"

"I said that's enough."

Fang Zheng held down Aihara Enju who rushed over and pushed her back in anger. Ever since the first time he was "sneak-attacked" by Tina, the other children seemed to have received some hint. Not only did they collectively block Fang Zheng and ask for kisses after the fight (Fang Zheng kissed each child on the cheek before they were accepted), but even after that, once Fang Zheng showed a little intimacy to a child, the nearby children would immediately rush over and demand the same treatment if they saw it - but fortunately Fang Zheng was a decent man, and except for the time when he was sneak-attacked by Tina, he had not done anything to these children that was worth calling the police.

This time Fang Zheng brought more "adjusters" than before, a total of thirty-five people. These were the children who had completed their adjustments and were ready to fight against the gastrulae. They did not have too much psychological burden, or were strong-willed and willing to go to the battlefield.

In fact, up to now, Fang Zheng has converted more than 300 "adjusters", but Fang Zheng did not let them all participate in the battle. Even though on paper, many adjusters have high stats, but they overlooked one thing, they are still children.

And he is a child under ten years old.

Anything could happen on the battlefield, such as being surrounded by gastrula, being ambushed by people, having your team crushed, your companions injured or dead, facing the crisis of life and death. Even a strictly trained recruit might not be able to accept these things after actually stepping onto the battlefield, let alone these children.

For example, it's like facing a gun. Almost all of the "cursed children" have dynamic vision that can easily capture the trajectory of bullets, and have the speed and reaction ability to easily dodge shooting. Whether it's a pistol or an automatic rifle, as long as they want to dodge, they will definitely dodge.

But why are there still so many Cursed Children being shot? The reason is that when they are pointed at by the black muzzle of a gun, their brains go completely blank and they lose all their reactions. Apart from dodging instinctively, they can hardly remember anything. Not to mention things like observing the position of the muzzle and calculating the trajectory of the bullet.

In fact, it is the same for ordinary people. Many people complain about why the people around them don’t dodge when they see villains holding guns in movies. However, only when they are actually pointed at by the gun will they find that they can’t even move, let alone dodge.

Fang Zheng would not allow such "cursed children" to go to the battlefield even after adjustments. Otherwise, even if they have the ability to easily deal with stage I protogastrics, they will probably be eaten alive by those monsters. This is not a game where you can just click the mouse and go straight up and give yourself up without hesitation.

Because of this, after rigorous training and exercises, Fang Zheng first selected one hundred "adjusters" with outstanding combat capabilities, and then took them to the ground to engage in actual combat with the gastrulae. As a result... only less than thirty people successfully passed the test and became members of this battle. The others were eventually sent back to Tiandao Palace by Fang Zheng for various reasons.

But it is more than enough to deal with those protogastric animals.

"Okay, the battle will begin late at night, so you should go and rest first. Otherwise, if you don't get enough sleep, you won't have the energy to fight at night."

Patting Yanzhu's little head, Fang Zheng quickly gave orders to the girls around him. Although up to now, no one knows when the protogastric animals led by Taurus will arrive. However, with the help of his prophecy spell and future vision, Fang Zheng knows very well that they will start to land on the beach at midnight today. As for the result...

Well, let’s keep it a secret.

Looking at the defensive position in the distance, Fang Zheng yawned silently, then leaned against the tree next to him and closed his eyes.

Now, I can finally have a good dream.
