nThe Monster Horde was just a thousand meters away from Hero City. The City Guard General drew his spiritual sword.
n
n
n“Soldiers, attack!”
n
n
n
n
n“Kill!”
n
n
n“Kill!”
n
n
n“Kill!”
n
n
n“Vanguard Army! Prepare to charge. Use the spiritual cannons to block the monsters!”
n
n
n
n
nThe City Guard General roared. His eyes were red.
n
n
nEvery time there was a Monster Horde, the Vanguard Army suffered the most casualties.
n
n
nThey were the first to engage in close combat with the monsters, and they were also the last.
n
n
nHence, their equipment was the best.
n
n
n
n
nFrom head to toe, they were all equipped with psionic equipment. They were practically armed to the teeth.
n
n
nFurthermore, the Vanguard Army had defensive-type superpowers.
n
n
nThis was to ensure that the Monster Horde would not break through the line of defense within a short period of time.
n
n
nThis in turn provided a better environment for the rear army to prepare their damage output.
n
n
n“Everyone, report your status!”
n
n
n“The assault army is ready!”
n
n
n
n
n“The agility army is ready!”
n
n
n“The control army is ready!”
n
n
n“The auxiliary army is ready!”
n
n
n“The air army is ready!”
n
n
n“The spiritual cannons are ready!”
n
n
n“The reserved resources are ready!”
n
n
nThe general of the city guards raised his spiritual gun and yelled, “Let’s go!”
n
n
n“Boom!”
n
n
n
n
n“Da, da, da!”
n
n
nThe psionic cannons were fired. Every time it was fired, a vacuum zone would be created in the Monster Horde.
n
n
nAlthough the damage was very high, it was not very effective against the Monster Horde.
n
n
nIn the blink of an eye, the vacuum zone was filled with monsters.
n
n
nThe city guards moved methodically on the city wall. The city was more than ten meters behind them.
n
n
nThey were either filling in the cannons or carrying their ammunition.
n
n
nThe Vanguard troops rushed out of Hero City. They were five hundred meters outside of the city.
n
n
nThis was as close as they could place the psionic cannons.
n
n
nIf the Monster Horde broke through, the psionic cannons would be useless.
n
n
nThe mercenary groups were also ready, and the captains followed behind the City Guard General.
n
n
nThis was to ensure they had what they needed when they needed it.
n
n
nThe Rangers stood on the city wall. They were ready to take the place of the city guards if anything happened.
n
n
nHero City only had 8,000 city guards and they had to guard against monsters coming from all four directions.
n
n
n
n
nThere were only about 2,000 people on the city wall, and this included the Vanguard Army.
n
n
nIf the Vanguard Army was excluded, there would be less than 1,000 people on the city wall.
n
n
nBixby turned to look at Chris.
n
n
n“Bring them back first.”
n
n
nHero City was very special to the teachers of Quinn.
n
n
nHero City was also a very important and significant place. Therefore, it was no doubt that the teachers of Quinn would participate in the battle.
n
n
n“Roar!”
n
n
n“Roar, roar!”
n
n
nThe monsters’ roar was deafening.
n
n
nA monster that had a wingspan of more than ten meters flew in the sky. It blotted both the sky and sun.
n
n
nOn the ground, monsters that were extremely huge were running towards Hero City. The number of monsters was as many as the hairs on an ox.
n
n
n“Teacher Chris, I’m not going back. You can send them away.”
n
n
nVincent’s expression was firm.
n
n
nTo him, this was indeed a rare battle.
n
n
nWhen Chris heard Vincent’s words, her expression changed and she berated, “Nonsense! Vincent! Do you know what this is?”
n
n
n“This is a Monster Horde! It’s different from how you usually kill monsters! If you’re not careful, you’ll die here!”
n
n
n“Besides, do you think you can participate in this battle just because you want to?”
n
n
n“Even your seniors who are in the third and fourth grades can’t participate!”
n
n
nNyssa and her friends nodded dejectedly after hearing what Chris had said.
n
n
nThey had been eliminated in the past. If they wanted to participate in a battle of such a level, they would have to go through a very strict selection and assessment.
n
n
n“Teacher Chris! The rules do not apply here! When monsters attack, as a human, I have the right to fight them! No one can take that away from me!” said Vincent bluntly.
n
n
nThis was the first time he argued against Chris, but he was adamant that he was not wrong.
n
n
n“Moreover, teacher Chris, you saw it with your own eyes earlier. I won’t have any problems.”
n
n
nTeacher Chris was about to get angry. However, after hearing Vincent’s words, she thought of the situation in the Monster Horde earlier.
n
n
nShe then nodded in agreement.
n
n
nThe monsters did not harm Vincent when he was in the Monster Horde. This meant that Vincent would not be in danger.
n
n
nSince he was not in any danger, then Vincent would be able to contribute to the fight.
n
n
n“The rest of you, follow me!”
n
n
nChris looked at the others.
n
n
n“Teacher Chris, we’re not leaving either!”
n
n
n“Vincent has not even officially enrolled in Quinn yet, and he already has so much heart. We are seniors. How could we leave?” said Nyssa.
n
n
nNyssa and her other two friends were all determined to help.
n
n
nChris was even more direct. He just took out a crystal and swallowed it. His body expanded instantly, and he transformed into a giant ape that was forty meters tall.
n
n
nAngelina and Avril looked at each other and said at the same time, “We’re not leaving either!”
n
n
nNabil raised his hand with caution and said, “I think I can help too.”
n
n
nTeacher Chris looked at the students, her chest heaving with anger.
n
n
nBixby shook his head and said to Chris, “You protect them first. I’ll go ask Principal Sibis and the general of the city guards.”
n
n
nChris could only nod helplessly.
n
n
n“All of you, follow obediently. If Principal Sibis doesn’t agree to let you participate, you will all have to go back!”
n
n
nHe turned to look at Vincent and said, “Especially you.”
n
n
nThe group of children in front of him was the future of Quinn, the future of humanity.
n
n
nHe would not joke about their lives.
n
n
nHowever, he was also not able to determine their fates.
n
n
nIt was undeniable that the Monster Horde was a really great opportunity for them to train.
n
n
nAs long as they survived, they would definitely have huge growth in their temperament.
n
n
nThere would also be a change in their mental state that would directly affect how they view things in the future.
n
n
nPlus, their abilities to adapt in battle would surpass their peers greatly.
n
n
nThe battle continued.
n
n
nUnder the command of the general of the city guards, the psionic cannons fired continuously and hindered the monsters’ advances.
n
n
nHowever, the monsters have become more and more hysterical. They no longer cared about the death of their companions.
n
n
nBlood and flesh flew everywhere, and the ground had been dyed red.
n
n
nThe flying monsters were all killed. Their corpses fell to the ground and blood rained down from the sky.
n
n
nThe Phoenix-Feathered Tyrannosaurus Rex looked at Hero City coldly from a distance away.
n
n
nIn the sky above Hero City, there was a burly bald man who was looking at the Phoenix-Feathered Tyrannosaurus Rex. He was a few thousand meters above Hero City.
n
n
nHis name was Johnny, and he was the mayor of Hero City. He had an A-Class superpower known as Thunder God Wings.
n
n
nHe was an old rival of the Phoenix-Feathered Tyrannosaurus Rex. Both of them knew each other very well.
n
n
nThey had fought each other six or seven times previously. However, neither of them managed to do anything to the other.
n
n
nSuddenly, a man jumped up from the ground and flew upwards into the air.
n
n
n“Mayor, the Phoenix-Feathered Tyrannosaurus Rex is coming, and it is very aggressive this time. Should we ask for help?”
n
n
nThis man floating in the air was Binus. He was the Deputy Mayor of Hero City. He was a superpower user, an A-Class elemental ability type. He was the son of the Wind God.
n
n
nJohnny shook his head slightly. “Recently, the monsters in the black hole have been rioting. The strong ones have all returned to the black hole. We can handle this ourselves.”
n
n
n“Tell the soldiers, there’s no need to save ammunition. Tell them to give it their all. We must stop the monsters outside of Hero City!”
n
n
nBinus nodded. He then turned around and flew back to Hero City.
n
n
nBixby returned to the city wall and nodded at Chris.
n
n
n“Principal Sibius agreed?”
n
n
nChris was very surprised. The news was really surprising.
n
n
nBixby was also very shocked by Sibius’s decision. However, he had nothing to say as the principal had already made a decision.
n
n
n“Although Principal Sibius agreed for them to join the battle, he has instructed us to split them up into two teams. We will have to follow them.”
n
n
n“The general of the city guards also said that he will send more people over later. He wants us to form two battle teams.”
n
n
nChris nodded and turned to look at the crowd of students.
n
n
n“Vincent, Chris, Angelina, Avril, and Nabil, you will follow me.”
n
n
n“Nyssa, Hixton, and Oscanthus, you will form a group with the others that will come later. Follow teacher Bixby.”
n
n
nThey all nodded to indicate that they agreed with Chris’s arrangement.
n
n
nEveryone was very excited to be able to go out on the battlefield.
n
n
nThis was especially so for Nyssa, Hixton, and Oscanthus. They never thought that they would be able to participate in a battle of this scale before they left Quinn.
n
n
nEver since they were young, they had dreamt of fighting against monsters and fighting for the future of mankind.
n
n
nHow could they not be excited? Their dream had come true.
n
n
nShortly afterward, the people that had been sent by the general of the city guards arrived. Chris and Bixby looked at each other and left with their respective groups.
n
n
nNo one noticed Vincent’s face.
n
n
nIn his flame-shaped eyes, an even smaller purple flame was dancing around gently.
n
n
n
