The reconnaissance plane circled in the air, its camera recording the battle below.
Lu Chengchuan stood in the middle, and no matter how many monsters rushed up, as many died. Everyone in the command center looked at this scene, with their mouths open, not knowing what to say.
The monster corpses piled higher and higher. As they were watching, Lu Chengchuan suddenly disappeared again.
"Where are they? Find them quickly!"
The person was missing, so everyone quickly asked the reconnaissance plane operator to go find him.
The operator controlled the reconnaissance aircraft's camera and searched all around for Lu Chengchuan. However, after searching around and zooming in and out, he still couldn't find him.
"Report, no trace of humans found!"
The reconnaissance plane searched for a long time, and the images it sent back were all full of monsters.
Just as they were looking for someone, Qian Xiaoling's phone rang. She took a look, looked up and said to Commander Dong, "He's back, he's outside."
With that, Qian Xiaoling ran out quickly.
Everyone followed and came to the outside of the command center together.
Lu Chengchuan was standing outside the command center. He was clean and tidy, without a trace of dirt, and did not look like someone who had just experienced a war.
"I went to check it out. There were too many monsters. I was worried you wouldn't be able to stop them."
After escaping underground, Lu Chengchuan did not come back immediately. He explored around the monster army. Although he did not see the Corpse Demon King, he was a little surprised by the scale of the monsters.
"We have to hold on even if we can't. Other troops are on the way. We have to hold on for at least twelve hours."
They didn't put all the troops here. The Northern Desert is too big and other places need to be guarded. Now that something happened here, it will take time for other troops to arrive.
"The rapid reaction force is on the way. As long as we can survive today, our support will arrive."
As long as support arrives, they will be more confident in stopping the monsters.
There are many residents in Arke City, and they must defend it. If monsters enter the city, the consequences will be disastrous.
"I hope so. I will do my best to help you resist the monsters..."
Lu Chengchuan stopped trying to persuade him. Since the entire army thought the same, all he could do was to stop more monsters.
"I'll go make preparations. Be careful and don't act rashly when you encounter monsters." Lu Chengchuan instructed Qian Xiaoling and turned to walk out of the defense line.
"Attention all units! Monsters are approaching, everyone get ready!"
The reconnaissance planes moved along with the monster army, and it was estimated that the soldiers on the defense line would be able to see them in ten minutes at most.
The soldiers were waiting, and artillery support from the rear was ready.
Under the scorching sun, everyone was nervously waiting for the monster to come. The monster didn't make them wait too long. Before they saw the monster, a terrifying roar was heard first.
The roar was rapidly approaching, and the soldiers couldn't help but feel nervous before they saw the monster.
Everyone stared ahead with wide eyes, not daring to relax for a moment. In just a moment, countless monsters rushed out from the horizon. The soldiers were stunned for a moment, and then clenched their weapons.
The monsters charged at them like crazy, and the soldiers waited for the order to fire.
While they were waiting, dull artillery sounds came from behind. The artillery units in the rear received the order to open fire, and shells fell on the places where the monsters had to pass.
The shells landed among the monsters, and the flames immediately engulfed the monsters.
The sound of artillery covered all other sounds. The soldiers looked at the bombing area and saw that no monsters rushed out. The soldiers relaxed a little. Although the monsters looked scary, they were not immortal.
The artillery fire from the rear never stopped, and after all the bombing, no monsters passed through the bombing area.
Everyone thought that the artillery could hold off the monster for a while, but soon, the alarm suddenly sounded.
"Watch your left and right! Watch your left and right!"
Under the surveillance of reconnaissance aircraft, a large number of monsters attacked from both sides of the bombing area. The headquarters quickly conveyed the intelligence to the front line. The commander of the front line received the news and quickly prepared his soldiers to meet the enemy.
A few minutes later, countless twisted monsters appeared from both sides of the bombing area. When the monsters rushed to a position two hundred meters in front of the defense line, the order to open fire sounded instantly.
The soldier took aim slightly and pulled the trigger at the monster.
Bullets rained down on the monsters, and countless monsters fell down instantly, and then countless monsters rushed up.
"Open fire in sequence! Maintain the intensity of the fire!"
The front battlefield temporarily blocked the monster army. Lu Chengchuan watched from the side without taking any action. Those who died were all low-level monsters, and those high-level monsters had not yet appeared.
"strangeness..."
Lu Chengchuan felt something was wrong, but he didn't know what.
Just as he was thinking, the sand under his feet suddenly shook slightly, and some sand flowed downwards. Looking at the sand flowing into the ground, Lu Chengchuan suddenly thought of something.
"not good!"
He turned his head to look at the defense line. The soldiers' attention was all focused on the front and they didn't notice the abnormality below.
"There is a monster under the sand!" Lu Chengchuan shouted with all his might, his voice like thunder reaching the soldiers' ears.
Lu Chengchuan's warning stunned the officers and soldiers for a moment. They instinctively looked down, and at that moment, huge monsters broke out from the sand.
A huge bug broke out of the ground and rolled up some unlucky soldiers. Before the surrounding soldiers could shoot, the bug suddenly exploded and dark green blood sprayed all around.
Some soldiers were covered in blood, and their clothes and equipment were rapidly corroded. Before other soldiers could help, small monsters jumped out of the big insect's body.
"Don't panic! Get rid of the monster first!"
Hundreds of giant insects attacked the defense line from underground. There were still many small insects inside the bodies of the exploded giant insects, which instantly made the soldiers on that defense line miserable.
The reserve troops in the rear rushed up to provide support. Lu Chengchuan saw that the defense line was in chaos. Just as he was about to go over, he sensed several powerful auras rushing towards him from a distance.
"Corpse Demon King."
Lu Chengchuan was very familiar with one of the auras. It was the missing corpse demon king. It seemed that it had brought a few helpers with it.
A powerful monster appeared, and Lu Chengchuan stopped standing by and watched. He picked up the Ink Bone Sword and rushed towards the Corpse Demon King.
In the middle of the battlefield, in an area not covered by artillery, several tall humanoid monsters suddenly appeared. They glanced at the defense line and prepared to rush in to kill.
But suddenly, a person stood in front of them.
"Corpse Demon King, how dare you show up?"
Lu Chengchuan held a sword in front of the monsters. When the monsters saw him, they stopped suddenly.
"It's you again. It's not me who's running away this time!"
The Corpse Demon King was stunned for a moment, then he remembered who this human was. The previous battle scene flashed through his mind. He was defeated and had to hide, but now it was different.
The five monsters had an aura almost identical to that of the Corpse Demon King.
If this had happened before, Lu Chengchuan would definitely not have come out to fight head-on, but after his realm breakthrough, his strength far surpassed that of the Corpse Demon King.
The two sides confronted each other, with Lu Chengchuan surrounded by a hail of bullets and the monsters by fierce artillery fire, but these were not a threat to them.
"Stop talking nonsense! Get started!"
The other monsters didn't know who he was. One of them rushed towards him, waving a huge axe and shouting, "Attack!"
