Chapter 2445: Chapter 2446: Garrison
Either they attacked the gathering point of wild spirit beasts, or some special facilities are also within the attack range, such as the patrolman’s cabin. In either case, the ability to resist the attack is not particularly high, perhaps not even comparable to a village.
Not to mention the standalone facilities, the number of people is apparent. The distribution of wild spirit beasts is quite distinctive; the further away from human habitats, the stronger their power, except for a few exceptions, which follow this rule.
Even if there is a wild spirit beast gathering place in the city’s outskirts, its overall strength would just be around the common level. How could it withstand their attack?
"I just don’t want him to feel regret and sadness."
Noticing a slight movement in Qi Chen’s father’s gaze, Feng Yuan spoke directly. Although he was a friend of Qi Chen, he would not act as a babysitter. This rescue was because the incident happened suddenly, and if the other party continues to endanger themselves, he couldn’t follow them endlessly.
"I understand, thank you for this time."
The opponent knew what Feng Yuan meant. If he still wanted to rescue people elsewhere, Feng Yuan would not accompany him, which was neither surprising nor abnormal.
"Take a break, and later I’ll deal with that matter. As for how you act afterward, that’s none of my business."
Feng Yuan didn’t look at other people; after speaking, he directly led Veronia and them to one side. The villagers circled around suddenly opened a path for Feng Yuan to go through.
Qi Chen’s father sighed and talked with the officer. Although Feng Yuan wouldn’t come to the rescue a second time, he couldn’t therefore abandon others, or else why execute the task at this moment?
Because he guessed the opponent would do so, Feng Yuan had to warn. Otherwise, it would not be good for both sides. Feng Yuan didn’t really want to intervene in the war at this time, and Qi Chen’s father might not hope to rely on extra care from his son’s friend to resolve this crisis.
Feng Yuan didn’t care what they were busy with and, according to his plan, waited for a period before greeting the opponent and leaving.
"Xiao Ji! Rest first, then rotate into the fight!"
Leaving the village, Feng Yuan first called back Xiao Ji. Although the combat during this period did not significantly affect it, Feng Yuan still asked Xiao Ji to rest for a while and let the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound fight.
"I can’t be left out of this, you know."
Veronia chuckled softly and waved, the Crystal Luminace Stone circulated. She looked at the void meaningfully and said,
"Since knowing what needs to be done, I’m not completely useless either~"
Glancing at Veronia, Feng Yuan sighed without stopping her. Veronia’s moves, though quite dynamic, were indeed nothing in the Time Storm.
The Crystal Luminace Stone released from Veronia’s hand demonstrated its unique properties in the Time Storm. As a common weapon material in the Mythical Era, the Crystal Luminace Stone inherently possesses time resistance. After all, during the Mythical Era, battles between Divine Beasts couldn’t lack time attribute attacks.
"If I expand the Crystal Luminace Stone storm to cover the entire Time Storm’s range, could it directly break the Time Storm?"
Thinking of something, Veronia looked at Feng Yuan and asked her question. Stunned for a moment, Feng Yuan speechlessly replied,
"That’s impossible. Violently dismantling the Time Storm would directly trigger a temporal-spatial disturbance. Otherwise, I wouldn’t say to find the Anomaly Point. But as long as the Anomaly Point is found, this thing can essentially be resolved."
"You mean, neither machines nor spirit beasts can leave the Anomaly Point?"
Veronia curiously looked at Feng Yuan. She really didn’t expect such a restriction. Nodding, Feng Yuan said,
"First, try to destroy the surrounding environment tentatively. Be careful not to create too much commotion. Using destruction, I can attempt to sense the flow of time."
As Feng Yuan was preparing for action here, Qi Chen and the others finally found the real location of the village.
Consecutively choosing the wrong locations twice led them into encirclements twice, causing Qi Chen and the others to dare not attempt randomly again. After all, even if Tamur could quickly resolve the enemies, it still wasted considerable time.
"I feel it should be there."
Feeling an inexplicable throbbing inside, Dou Yanlan pointed to the two sides fighting, saying. Although they had encountered similar battle scenes before, those scenes were mere phantoms. Stepping in, they were surrounded heavily. But this time, Dou Yanlan felt that she seemed to have found the place.
Tamur silently swam towards the front, forcefully breaking into the stone path of this space. Feeling the special contact and repulsion, Tamur said,
"Indeed!"
Slightly squinting, Tamur sized up the two sides in battle. Dou Zhengrong’s group was only a small squad among the Special Duty Team, different from Qi Chen’s father’s side, which was a complete unit formed by military beastmasters. Therefore, they could easily coordinate and rotate in combat.
The Special Duty Team also received similar training, but due to different daily mission types, they were more accustomed to solo or small joint combats.
Even if their strength was supposed to be stronger, the lack of seamless coordination made it appear rather awkward. Although powerful, they were not good at prolonged large-scale defensive operations.
Tamur’s emergence did not alarm them due to its small size. However, when Tamur acted, they all froze.
Mythical Era soldiers summoned by Tamur swung their weapons towards the ancient soldiers. The already chaotic battlefield instantly became more turbulent.
Clueless about these suddenly emerging soldiers, Dou Zhengrong’s group had to protect the villagers while retreating.
"Hao Chun Bird, Forest Domain! Ah Mu! Blade Break!"
Qi Chen shouted, dispatching Hao Chun Bird and Ah Mu together. Naturally, Dou Yanlan wouldn’t forget defense; Xing Bo deployed a barrier, and Cotton roamed to the battlefield’s edge, ready to assist.
Regrettably, compared to the Mythical Era soldiers summoned by Tamur, these soldiers were incredibly fragile. Just one strike, the Mythical Era soldiers eliminated the ancient soldiers as opponents.
While Hao Chun Bird was completing its deployment, most ancient soldiers were already wiped out. The emerald energy surged beside Ah Mu, and the Blade Break, or the ultimate move of broken sharp blades, is a defensive-type ultimate move.
At the cost of reducing its own attack power by half, the enemy within a certain range similarly lowers their attack power equivalent to the reduction value, and breaks all cold weapons below the spirit beast rank.
Though it lacks offensive capability and even lowers its own attack power, the broken sharp blades prove exceptionally effective in such cold weapon confrontation scenarios.
Unfortunately, Tamur’s speed was faster, so even with Blade Break, Ah Mu couldn’t contribute much to the battle situation.
"Qi Chen?!"
Seeing Ah Mu’s massive silhouette, Dou Zhengrong was stunned. He truly didn’t expect to see Qi Chen in this place. War Qi Chen didn’t intervene but instead pointed a finger towards the edge of the land where ancient soldiers were flowing in.
The Mythical Era soldiers summoned by Tamur turned directly to engage with these ancient soldiers at the edge, drifting to Dou Zhengrong’s side and circling around him, Tamur said,
"I’m going to handle the other directions."
Without caring about the opponent’s thoughts, Tamur swam towards the distance. Qi Chen and Dou Yanlan trotted over, only catching sight of Tamur’s back, puzzlingly saying,
"Why did it suddenly leave?"
"Everyone’s gathered together; you couldn’t hold this area. No, maybe this was the best choice; you couldn’t have protected an entire village."
War Qi Chen calmly remarked, glancing at the crowd behind Dou Zhengrong. With their numbers, it was apparent that everyone from the village was with them.
This didn’t surprise him because Dou Zhengrong’s squad had less than ten people. They couldn’t protect an area as large as an entire village.
"I’ll lend a hand, while you focus on protecting yourselves."
Swirling the battle staff, War Qi Chen spoke, quickly leaving. Tamur’s intentions were already guessed; with their ability, it wasn’t difficult, not even requiring his intervention.
The reason for rushing over was just to gather more intel. After all, this place can’t be defended easily; even when Qi Chen said Feng Yuan would come to support, it was unknown how long it would take.
He certainly wouldn’t place all hope on a single person.
