The ultimate Valkyrie has fallen for me

By the afternoon, there was still no news from the Ye family.

No news is bad news.

The Ye family didn't directly refuse, which was a way of giving Lu Yuan face.

However, news has come from the military that they have dispatched a Grandmaster to the Northern Wilderness to verify the authenticity of the information provided by Lu Yuan.

"They're only confirming it now? Damn it, these bureaucrats."

Almost two days have passed since Lu Yuan reported the news.

In the past two days, how much has the beast tide moved forward, and how much preparation can humanity make?

"The official response was indeed slow, but fortunately, the master they hired was quick enough."

Xia Banzhu gave a light snort and then continued.

"Master Fenghen's domain is wind-attribute, and he is also known for his speed. I estimate he can make the round trip within a day."

"Does it take another day?"

Lu Yuan frowned slightly. It would take another day to confirm the news, and who knew when the authorities would take any further action.

"Let's wait."

But they weren't the decision-makers, so they could only sigh helplessly and wait.

While waiting, the weapons and equipment from Dong Pengfei's side were delivered one after another.

It must be said that Tianjing Group has indeed invested a lot in Beihuang, otherwise Dong Pengfei would not have been able to produce so much equipment so quickly.

Judging from the marks, some of the equipment was probably taken directly from other outposts.

It doesn't matter, as long as it works.

The following day, the North Kan base was busy setting up and loading these weapons.

With the emergence of martial artists, firearms have not actually improved much in power compared to the old era, but they are much easier to operate.

These large weapons, which can alter the landscape at will, are not much more complicated to operate than children's toys; some are even just a button.

Simply press the launch button to automatically locate and attack.

Even drones and robotic dogs, these automated equipment, do not require manual operation; once deployed, they can automatically carry out various combat operations.

Technological advancements are inherently a process of continuously simplifying operations.

"It's ready!"

Given the sheer number of weapons, it took another two days to load them all.

Looking at the launch vehicles scattered everywhere, Lu Yuan and Xia Banzhu breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a little relaxed for the first time in the past few days.

Due to time constraints, there wasn't enough time to build launch silos, so they had to use launch vehicles.

Let alone king-level monsters, even some lord-level monsters might not be effective against these weapons. However, these wide-area destructive weapons are remarkably effective against ordinary monsters.

And this is exactly what Lu Yuan and his team need.

The truly terrifying aspect of a beast tide lies in its sheer numbers!

Like the tide, it is endless.

Too many ants can kill an elephant, let alone a monster.

Lu Yuan had personally experienced the rat swarm before, so he had a deep understanding of it.

No matter how strong a martial artist is, how many demonic beasts can one person kill? With these weapons and equipment, ordinary demonic beasts can be quickly cleared out, freeing up the martial artist to deal with those high-level demonic beasts.

"Why haven't we received any news from the authorities yet? They should have already confirmed the beast tide."

After the weapons and equipment were deployed, Lu Yuan asked a question.

"I'll go ask."

Xia Banzhu nodded and immediately turned to leave.

In fact, he had been working tirelessly for the past two days, overseeing the deployment of weapons, even busier than Lu Yuan. He had no time to inquire about official information.

A moment later, Xia Banzhu returned, but with a serious expression.

"The authorities want you to go back."

"Why should I go back?"

Lu Yuan frowned, his voice tinged with anger.

The beast tide is getting closer and closer. Although it is estimated that it will take some more days to arrive, who knows if there will be an even faster vanguard.

Under these circumstances, how could Lu Yuan dare to leave so easily?

So far, the authorities haven't helped at all, and have only made things worse.

"They didn't say anything over there, they just told you to go back as soon as possible, and they sounded very urgent."

"...Then I'll go back. You keep a close watch and hold the base until I return!"

After saying that, Lu Yuan transformed into a streak of red light and left the base.

With Blood Shadow Escape activated, Lu Yuan frantically burned his own blood and energy, and returned to Chongming Base City in less than an hour.

He habitually skipped over the three gates and went straight to the city lord's mansion.

"Who goes there!"

Upon seeing Lu Yuan suddenly appear, the guards of the city lord's mansion were startled and quickly surrounded him.

"Don't move! That's the person the city lord wants to see!"

Before Lu Yuan could speak, Li Chuanxiong strode over with a shout.

"Come with me."

He glanced at Lu Yuan, then led the way.

Lu Yuan didn't say anything and followed Li Chuanxiong.

The city lord's mansion was very large and heavily guarded, but with Li Chuanxiong leading the way, the journey was unimpeded.

A moment later, we arrived at the third floor of a building.

A double maroon door opens to reveal a conference room.

It wasn't very big, and there were only a handful of people sitting inside, less than ten.

Lu Yuan only knew one person: Xiao Fentian!

As a grandmaster of the Xiao family, Xiao Fentian sat in a lower position, which speaks volumes about the significance of this meeting.

"Lord of the City, Marshal, Lu Yuan has arrived."

Li Chuanxiong said something, then turned and left; he wasn't qualified to attend this meeting.

The city lord, who should be the middle-aged man sitting at the very front, is Song Tianming.

The Marshal is the highest-ranking military commander in the base city, and should be the elderly man in military uniform whose position is second only to Song Tianming.

Lu Yuan remembered that the marshal of Chongming Base City was named Xue Xiaoshan.

"Please sit down."

Everyone looked at Lu Yuan, and Song Tianming raised his finger and pointed to an empty seat at the end of the table.

Tell me what you know.

Lu Yuan had just sat down when Xue Xiaoshan immediately spoke up.

"That was four days ago."

Lu Yuan's expression was serious. Then, he carefully recounted the situation he had discovered, leaving nothing out.

After Lu Yuan finished speaking, everyone's expressions became serious.

According to Lu Yuan, the scale of the monsters in the Northern Wilderness is far greater than that in Dongzhenwei City.

It is very likely that Dongzhenwei City was just a decoy used to disperse the troops in Chongming Base City.

Thinking of this, everyone felt a chill run down their spines.

If Lu Yuan hadn't noticed in advance that so many monsters had suddenly surged in from the Northern Wilderness, and that all the troops in Chongming Base City had been transferred to the east, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

"Our priority now is to verify the veracity of what Lu Yuan said."

At this moment, a woman spoke up.

"Authenticity? Would I lie about something this serious in front of you?!"

Lu Yuan frowned, then looked puzzled.

"Besides, didn't you already send a grandmaster to investigate? Why do you still need to confirm its authenticity!"

"Grandmaster Fenghen must have had an accident."

Xue Xiaoshan spoke, his expression extremely serious.

"So far, Grandmaster Fenghen has not returned. The equipment he carries with him has only transmitted one video clip."

Immediately afterwards, the projector turned on, showing the footage taken by the equipment carried by Master Fenghen.

On the desolate wilderness, an endless horde of demonic beasts was suddenly discovered. But the next moment, before Grandmaster Fenghen could get close to investigate, a white light flashed, and the image abruptly stopped.

"It's the Howling Moon Wolf."

Lu Yuan frowned and said in a deep voice.
