Free Web NovelChapter 545: Chapter 381: A Legend in the Army and the Massive Rat Catastrophe! (Double-Length)
When Song Changming was retrieved, it signified that the military’s support troops had arrived.
Not only was he dug out from underground, but Wang Tianshuang and the previously missing Meng Kunlun were also found one after another.
Wang Tianshuang had a life-saving talisman, so he did not die even after being hit by the Thunder Wheel Tiger’s final attack, but he was severely injured and fell into a coma.
Meng Kunlun, likewise, was seriously injured.
He was in close proximity, almost face-to-face with the Thunder Wheel Tiger’s ultimate move, so injury was inevitable.
As for the Thunder Wheel Tiger, after launching that cannon, it completely perished, losing its life.
It did not choose to beg for its life at the end, nor did it close its eyes and await death.
Instead, it chose to die in such a fierce and frenzied manner, which indeed sets it apart from other members of the Demon Race.
Song Changming encountered many Demons who knelt to beg for their lives, even willing to become slaves or servants, with a very strong will to survive.
Therefore, the behavior of the Thunder Wheel Tiger appeared as a refreshing deviation, standing out as uncommon.
The only pity is that the Qi Blood from this Thunder Wheel Tiger’s body was completely burned out at the end, leaving no chance for him to harvest Demon Blood Essence from its injured body, which was truly a waste.
Three days later, Tai Nan City.
In a hall within the City Lord’s Mansion.
Meng Kunlun sat upright on a chair, though not in battle armor, instead wrapped in numerous bandages, clearly appearing like an injured patient.
The other Grand Marshals were similarly bandaged, with a medicinal herb scent lingering around, filling the room.
Only the City Lord of Tai Nan City occasionally glanced at Meng Kunlun, Wang Tianshuang who also returned wounded, Lord Yan Lan, as well as Chu Tianquan and Song Changming.
Chu Tianquan was also injured because the other transport team he assisted also encountered an attack by the Demon Race.
Though he did not face the Thunder Wheel Tiger directly, the enemies he slew were equally formidable, thus he paid a price in slaying the demons.
However, his injuries were not as severe as those of Meng Kunlun and Wang Tianshuang.
As for Song Changming, at the time his injuries appeared severe, even disfiguring.
But after just one day, his injuries almost completely healed.
Now, as he sits firmly in place, apart from some faint scars, no other wounds can be seen.
Even the new skin appears whiter and smoother than before, lacking the previous roughness.
If it weren’t for the general’s attire he wore with a powerful aura, no one would associate him with being a battlefield general.
Judging by appearance alone, he seemed like a scholarly, fair-skinned, handsome young man destined to pass exams to become a civil servant.
"Thanks to Flag Master Song’s efforts in resolving the major threat of the Thunder Wheel Tiger, without surprises, the pressure in the Tai Nan City area, even the southern region of Cui Bai Dao, will be much alleviated," stated Lord Yan Lan initially.
This equates to one less leader among the Demon Race.
Without the influence of the Thunder Wheel Tiger, the remaining Demons will become a scattered force with no cohesion, posing an incomparable threat.
Bringing this up, the mood among the Grand Marshals visibly brightened.
Despite the convoluted process and the dangers they experienced, successfully slaying the Thunder Wheel Tiger was still a significant achievement.
And in this particular achievement, Song Changming undoubtedly contributed the most.
After all, it was Song Changming who stepped up as the main attacker when Meng Kunlun was absent, and it was he who inflicted the final wound on the Thunder Wheel Tiger, forcing it to self-destruct.
Without Song Changming, yesterday would have resulted in a disastrous defeat.
Not only Meng Kunlun, even Lord Yan Lan and Wang Tianshuang would have faced immense peril, with unthinkable consequences.
This battle once again refreshed everyone’s perception of Song Changming’s strength.
Song Changming not only has combat power at the Innate Perfection Realm level but is perhaps stronger than an average Martial Artist at that level!
The military over the years has produced many Martial Tao talents, each with extraordinary skills and exceptional combat power.
The brilliance of their talent left people in awe, unforgettable.
If one were to place Song Changming’s growth trajectory within the historical timeline of the Military Department of Cui Bai Dao, it would possibly be a one-of-a-kind occurrence!
They have never seen a Little Flag Master with such formidable strength!
On the battlefield, his brilliance easily overshadowed even the legitimate Grand Marshals in the military!
Even though Wang Tianshuang and Lord Yan Lan were not weak among the Grand Marshals, compared to Song Changming in this battle, they paled in comparison.
Even a warrior like Meng Kunlun wouldn’t dare to claim that he could firmly outmatch Little Flag Master Song Changming in strength!
"Brother Wang, your Little Flag Master indeed brought us many surprises." When reviewing the battle against the Thunder Wheel Tiger, even though Chu Tianquan was not present, he couldn’t help but praise Song Changming.
"Changming’s rapid growth and his role as Little Flag Master in our army is indeed a blessing for the 41st Army," Wang Tianshuang also said with a smile.
He wasn’t dissatisfied because Song Changming’s prominence overshadowed him as the legitimate Grand Marshal.
On the contrary, he was generous with his praise, showing no intention to suppress him.
Wang Tianshuang had a broader perspective, recognizing Song Changming was destined for greatness, he never attempted to suppress him but actively supported him over the years.
In the matter of offending the Zhao Family, it was through Wang Tianshuang’s assistance that Song Changming managed to navigate the crisis smoothly.
Even for the sake of the Wang Family, his attitude towards Song Changming would only be one of goodwill and drawing him closer; he couldn’t possibly turn against such a talent.
