Chapter 185 Training Corps, On the Move

Meanwhile, at Dongfeng Military Academy, in the command center of Yuanwu Army Headquarters.

Rather than a "room," this place is more like a futuristic war temple.

Under a dome more than ten meters high, a huge holographic sand table occupies the central position, accurately simulating the terrain of the entire Xia Kingdom. Countless fine light spots, lines and data streams flash and flow wildly on it, reflecting the battlefield situation in real time.

Lin Yi stood quietly beside the holographic sand table, his simple black combat uniform a stark contrast to the busy people around him.

He did not interfere with the specific command, but simply observed quietly, like a pillar of stability, ensuring that the entire command center maintained efficient operation and order even under the highest alert.

Nie Chang stood in front of the command console, surrounded by multiple tactical screens, with a built-in communicator in his ear, constantly receiving and issuing brief instructions.

However, most of the instructions were generated directly by a virtual female figure floating in front of him and instantly distributed to various combat units through the merit system.

"headmaster."

Nie Chang paused for the moment, walked over to Lin Yi, and spoke with admiration.

"Since you integrated the 'Huiyuan Type II' intelligent life form into our combat command system, the efficiency has been completely transformed. Orders that previously required analysis and deduction by more than a dozen staff officers can now be completed instantly by 'Xuanji,' and the accuracy far surpasses that of manual labor."

He pointed to the virtual face.

The military internally gave this intelligent life form the code name "Xuanji," which is derived from the Tianxuan and Tianji stars in the ancient Big Dipper, symbolizing wisdom and strategy.

"Xuanji" seemed to have heard Nie Chang's words. Its virtual face turned to Lin Yi and nodded slightly. "Principal Lin Yi, General Nie Chang. The current incident has been classified as a small-scale abyss. According to the pre-set response plan A-7, combined with the satellite remote sensing data synchronized by the General Staff, the real-time data stream of the national energy monitoring network, and the feedback information from the front-line units, the combat order has been automatically generated and issued."

On the holographic sand table, countless blue arrows can be seen pointing to various lairs from all directions. These are the various units of the Yuanwu Army, the main garrison troops, and the detachments of the local training corps that have received orders to move towards the war zone.

Meanwhile, many green lights were flashing in the danger zone, with distress signals and team numbers marked next to them.

"Yuanwu Army's main force, mission objective: to join forces with local garrison troops to construct a frontal defense line, divide, delay, and deplete Yuanchao's main force, and protect the safety of rear settlements."

"Xuanji's" voice continued to report, "The mobile detachments of the training corps in various regions have been assigned missions. They are mainly divided into two categories: First, frontal assault missions, to locate and eliminate high-threat Stardust-level Abyss Beast leaders to reduce the pressure on the frontal defenses; Second, emergency rescue missions, to go to the marked fortified waiting points to rescue the trapped civilian Origin Warrior squads."

"Just proceed as planned."

Lin Yi nodded slightly and spoke calmly.

"I believe in you, and I believe in them."
-
The Cangwu Hills, northeast of the B-07 nest.

At this moment, the storm of steel and fire became the only main theme.

The continuous defensive fortifications, like a dam, withstood wave after wave of the black tide.

The soldiers' faces were tense as they kept pulling the trigger.

Years of training have transformed fear into absolute obedience to orders and trust in one's comrades.

The ammunition belts were being consumed rapidly, and the empty cartridge cases jingled, weaving a web of death.

Meanwhile, the Yuanwu Army stood like pillars among the reefs, using their superior strength to maneuver around key nodes of the defensive line, eliminating threats that broke through the firepower network with precise sniping and efficient close-quarters combat.

Their shouts were short and powerful, intertwined with the sounds of gunfire, maintaining the resilience of the defensive line.

Civilian warriors filled the gaps; they might be less disciplined, but their extensive experience fighting the abyssal beasts over the long term enabled them to unleash formidable combat power.

On the core position where the defense line was under the greatest pressure, a figure stood firmly rooted to the spot.

Zhao Gang, captain of the third mobile detachment of the training brigade.

The huge dark silver alloy shield in his hand was now covered with deep claw marks and dents, but his stance holding the shield did not waver in the slightest, as if he were one with the ground beneath his feet.

Each fierce impact from the abyss beast only caused his body to tremble slightly, and his shield to retreat only slightly before it was pushed back in a more stable position.

He doesn't need fancy moves; his very existence is an absolute shield that reassures his comrades behind him.

His teammates surrounded him, forming a highly efficient combat team. Vice-captain Chen Mo, wielding a slightly smaller heavy shield, acted as his most reliable second-in-command, precisely filling the blind spots in Zhao Gang's defensive vision and blocking all attacks from the flanks.

The attacker, Wang Xue, crouched slightly behind cover, her war bow wielding almost without pause.

With each energy arrow fired, a giant abyssal worm attempting to spew acid or a blade hunter raising its bone blade to command a small-scale attack in the distant horde was reduced to ashes, greatly relieving pressure on the front line of defense.

Assault soldier Li Lei was like a bolt of lightning leaping in the shadow of a shield.

He wielded heavy military daggers in both hands, his movements swift and precise, specifically targeting agile abyssal beasts that managed to break through the barrage of fire and pounce on the shields.

His every move is concise and deadly; he never wastes a single ounce of energy on a single target.

Zhou Qing is one of the busiest people in the team.

As a support member, she needs to be able to replace those who are low on source energy and retreat to recover at any time. Therefore, she has some knowledge of the skills that the other team members are good at.

"Team Leader Zhao, another 'Thick-Armored Tyrant' is coming up at one o'clock. The rocket launcher isn't working well!" a Yuanwu Army officer shouted a warning.

A heavily armored tyrant with a source energy level of nearly 8000 points roared and charged forward. The dark red energy was faintly shimmering at the broken bone armor where it had withstood the previous blows, making it look even more ferocious.

Although Zhao Gang's energy level has now reached 7500 points, which would allow him to win even in a one-on-one fight, he has no such intention whatsoever.

He merely focused his gaze slightly, adjusted the angle of his shield, and lowered his center of gravity.

Chen Mo then took a half step to the right front, raising his shield diagonally to block any possible change of direction or attack route.

Li Lei's figure shrank back like a ghost, his military dagger held horizontally in front of his chest, ready to strike.

Wang Xue's warbow shifted slightly, locking onto the deepest crack in the thick-armored tyrant's neck.

"boom!"

The dull, thunderous impact rang out again, sending pebbles flying from the ground beneath Zhao Gang's feet. But his mountain-like body only shuddered violently before regaining its balance.

The heavily armored tyrant was disoriented by the recoil and angrily raised its giant claws.

Just as it raised its claws, three sharp sounds rang out: "Bang! Bang! Bang!" Three energy arrows, almost simultaneously, precisely pierced the crack in the bone armor.

The heavily armored tyrant let out a painful howl, its movements becoming distorted.

Like a cheetah that had been waiting for a long time, Li Lei suddenly pounced out from Zhao Gang's side, his military dagger, imbued with all his strength, stabbed into Zhao Gang's relatively vulnerable armpit joint, and twisted violently.

The intense pain caused the heavily armored tyrant to lose its balance instantly.

Seizing this fleeting opportunity, Zhao Gang let out a low roar, channeling his energy into his arms, and shifted his shield from defense to offense, thrusting and lifting it forward with a powerful motion.

He managed to flip that enormous body over with astonishing strength and skill.

"Hit!" Zhao Gang's voice was short and forceful.

Without needing further orders, all the nearby heavy firepower, as if by prior agreement, instantly focused their fire on the heavily armored tyrant that had lost its balance and exposed its weaknesses.

Under the intense barrage of metal, the ferocious beast collapsed before it could even deplete one percent of Zhao Gang's team's source energy, reaching its end.

No one cheered, because the battle was still going on, but an invisible confidence rose on the defensive line.

With the Training Corps personnel around, even the toughest challenges can be overcome.

Just then, a notification message came through the general communication channel of the defense line:

[Attention all units. High-energy reactive target detected approaching the main defense line. Identified as 'Bloodthirsty Blade Lord,' energy level 17900. This target poses an extremely high threat level. Ordinary combat units should prioritize avoidance. Concentrate firepower to eliminate its subordinate units. Repeat: Prioritize eliminating subordinate targets. Zhao Gang's detachment of the Training Corps has marked this target as your unit's mission.]
