nTap. Tap. Tap.

nBoom! Boom! Boom!

nDense bullets flew out from the soldiers' barrels, forming a metal storm that tore apart the large numbers of green insects.

nThe modified artillery behind the defensive wall roared deafeningly, blasting huge Flying Beetles into pieces.

nFor a moment, thousands of insect corpses fell from the sky like a storm.

nBattalion Commander Chu and the other martial artists in the camp watched this scene with cold expressions. Having resisted countless foreign invaders, they knew very well that this was only the appetizer.

nThe gunshots lasted for more than half an hour when lightning suddenly flashed in the flourishing forest.

nBattalion Commander Chu narrowed his eyes.

"It's the thunder fire insects. Inform the ground forces to open the defensive energy net!

"

n

"Yes!

"

nSoon, an incomparably intense blue light that lit up the entire defensive wall was instantly emitted from the three defense lines.

nChi! Chi! Chi!

nLike lightning in a black cloud, the lightning instantly formed balls of blazing energy that bombarded over in the blink of an eye and landed on the blue energy net, causing layers of energy ripples.

nThe lightning lasted for more than 10 minutes before gradually dying out.

nRumble!

nAt this moment, the ground outside the defensive line shook.

n

"The main event has arrived!

"

nBattalion Commander Chu's entire body was suddenly covered in armor as he took out a saber that was suffused with a cold luster.

nSwoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

nThe martial artists of the other camps were all fully armed, their sabers flashing.

nBoom! Boom! Boom!

nThe ground suddenly exploded. Giant Scorpions that were fifty to sixty meters tall rushed towards the defensive line with long tails in their hands.

n

"It's the Giant Scorpion! Kill them all with me!!

" Commander Chu's voice resounded throughout the defensive line. He was the first to jump and charge towards the thousand plus Giant Scorpions.

n

"Kill!

"

nThe other martial artists followed behind regardless of their own safety.

nThe cannon fire behind the defensive lines also switched directions and bombarded these Giant Scorpions!.

n…

nNorth Station, Huadong City.

nCommander Zhao, who was holding down the fort, had already received the news that the Southern Station was being attacked by the Insect Race. However, his expression was calm, and there was no panic in his eyes.

n

"Commander, Battalion Commander Chu reported that it was a level three alert,

" Staff Officer Chen whispered.

nCommander Zhao nodded.

"Get Falcon Team 3 to provide support. Also, keep a close eye on them. If there are any accidents, report immediately!

"

n

"Yes!

"

n…

nTwo hours passed.

nIn front of the southern defense line of the base was a large number of Insect Race corpses.

nThe gunshots had stopped.

nBattalion Commander Chu and the other martial artists' armor were covered in disgusting blood from the severed limbs of the Insect Race. The stench was unbearable, and even the Falcon team that had rushed over to provide support could not stand it.

n

"Battalion Commander, there's something wrong with the Insect Race attack this time.

"

n

"Yeah, the thunder is loud, but the rain is small. There wasn't even an intermediate general-level insect beast.

"

n

"In the past, we would at least have to face high general-level insect beasts and even the Demon Race would also take the opportunity to attack. But this time, there wasn't any of that.

"

nThe other martial artists opened their helmets and frowned.

nBattalion Commander Chu stepped on a Giant Scorpion and said in a deep voice,

"There's indeed something wrong. However, I've contacted the intelligence department. I was told that there was no abnormality while we were resisting the attack.

"

nAs he spoke, he looked at Falcon 3's team.

"Captain Wang, thank you for your help this time. I'll have to trouble you to report the situation to Commander Zhao in detail.

"

nCaptain Wang saluted.

"Battalion Commander Chu, don't worry. I'll report the truth.

"

n…

nThe residents of the base city were unaware of the Insect Race attack at the southern station. They were still busy at work the next day.

nThe three-day registration period for the combat assessment at Qu City High School had also long ended.

nBecause it was a combat assessment competition instead of a regular tournament competition, less than half of the participating students of the previous competition signed up, despite there being more prize money for this competition.

nEven so, the school leaders still persisted in holding the combat assessment.

nAt around 8'o o'clock.

nOne by one, the important figures of the Education Bureau rushed over. Some of the parents of the participating year three students had also arrived.

nAfter all, this was a combat assessment. Not only were the parents worried, but the leaders of the bureau were also worried.

n

"Director Xu is here too?

"

n

"Yo, Chief Wang, you're here too!

"

n

"Director Li, what a rare sight!

"

nMost of the important figures in the bureau and the parents knew each other. They spent some time chatting on the high platform where the audience seats were located.

nThat was until a calm man in a military uniform walked over.

nThe communication between these important figures and the parents immediately stopped.. All of them looked at the man in the military uniform.

n
