Chapter 319 Nothing to do today
Amidst the thunderous artillery fire, wounded soldiers were continuously being brought into the medical ward.
The medical cultivators showed no respect to the two of them, and Zhong Ming and Chi Tong were quickly kicked out. However, with their spiritual energy depleted and bones broken, they were not qualified to stay here for long.
Zhong Ming's steps were still a little unsteady. He had a patient badge on his body that allowed him to stay away from the team for three days, but he didn't have any other "patient benefits".
Akame was somewhat annoyed; she seemed to lack the leverage to be assertive.
Stepping out of the medical area gate, a hail of artillery fire filled the air ahead, and the monsters had already charged close. The Azure Wolf Army and the Shield Guard Battalion were already engaged in fierce combat with the enemy. From a distance, one could see the Shield Guard Battalion forming a long, serpentine line, which became the dividing line between the front line and the rear amidst the surging beast tide.
Ahead lay a chaotic battlefield of countless battles. The Canglang Army cultivators leaped off the backs of the burly men and charged into the fray, then dragged their wounded comrades back behind them in a scramble.
Behind them was a relentless barrage of artillery fire, which rained down on the distant sea, splashing up blood and debris to hinder enemy reinforcements.
This sudden battle turned the unprepared beachhead into a sea of corpses. Some of the unfinished restrictions and formations had the opposite effect. The formations that were only completed on the side near the cannons were easily blocked from the retreat route of our own people after they were activated. However, some people soon began to activate the restrictions on the front line at great risk.
These restrictions are not yet complete, but they have one characteristic: if forcibly activated, they are prone to exploding.
The activator will also suffer an extremely terrifying backlash.
Where there are cowards, there are also brave ones.
When faced with merfolk, whom everyone considered "alien" enemies, the group displayed extraordinary unity.
The dozen or so cultivators directly in front simultaneously raised their swords, and the surrounding sword energy crisscrossed, falling like petals scattered by celestial maidens. The moment they touched the enemy, the incomparably sharp sword energy was completely unsealed, transforming from the dazzling falling petals into a dark cloud of death that shrouded the enemy's head.
The earth-based cultivators lined up and, under the observer's command, simultaneously used earth wall magic to instantly condense a wide and thick "city wall." Even if they couldn't force the enemy to detour, they could greatly slow them down, allowing them to be wiped out with a powerful area-of-effect attack.
The most brutal battlefield is the meat grinder-like close combat battlefield. Monsters often prefer to cultivate and strengthen their physical bodies. After all, their supernatural abilities are either innate in their bloodline or learned from nature, making them extremely rare. In comparison, it is more practical to strengthen their bodies to protect their lives.
The human cultivators found themselves outnumbered in certain areas, fighting alongside the demonic beasts in a fierce and brutal battle.
Zhong Ming seemed to have seen Chen Dahai's masterpiece. Some of the flames that had been lit looked familiar to him, but he just couldn't find Chen Dahai's figure. He could only say that Chen Dahai was indeed a master of hiding.
As for Xuanjing.....
If I were the commander-in-chief, I would definitely lock him in a dark room right now and make him draw explosive symbols, and he wouldn't be allowed to eat until he finished drawing them!
Zhong Ming sighed, then suddenly realized that Chi Tong was still there.
"What's wrong? Aren't you going to your captain to collect your merit points?"
"What about you?"
"I am the captain..."
Zhong Ming shrugged. "What's the procedure for reporting military merit points again? I'll have to ask someone later."
Just as she was thinking this, Akame suddenly took out some scales from her storage bag.
"for you."
"Thank you."
"Goodbye."
She said all three sentences.
Zhong Ming initially thought that he should be the one saying "thank you," but it took him a second to realize that he was thanking him for his help during the mission.
She placed the scale in Zhong Ming's palm and turned to leave.
Her hair-binding cap had long been removed, and her flowing hair exuded a faint fragrance. The gale-force winds whipped up by the cannon fire blew to this place, leaving only gusts of breeze gently brushing against her dark hair.
Looking at.....
He doesn't look injured at all!
At this moment, Zhong Ming was filled with gratitude for the brother who had acted as a human cushion, and silently vowed that he must make amends properly.
He found a makeshift training room, which was crudely made. The simple soundproofing and array could only block out sound, but it was difficult to block out the vibrations coming from the ground. He could only rely on the futon to cushion the vibrations.
He rested here for three days, restoring his spiritual energy to its full potential. The repeated use of his spiritual energy actually increased the capacity of his dantian by a little bit. This was not because his cultivation level had improved, but because his total spiritual energy had increased, which made him extremely happy.
In the last hour, he took out the merman's corpse. This merman, who was in the Foundation Establishment stage, had made a mistake in his cultivation after being hit by the spear in the cold spring, and died from qi deviation. His body was like a deflated balloon, and his scales were easily peeled off.
Having experienced countless blood-splattered battlefields, he was no longer afraid of corpses. He skillfully peeled off all the scales, then placed them together with the scales given to him by Akame and those he had collected himself. He checked the integrity of each scale, selected those without any breaks, and attached them to his body piece by piece, attempting to make a suit of armor.
However, no matter how he combines them, he is always missing a few of the largest pieces, either to protect his heart or his dantian; he is always lacking something.
He sighed. It was a pity that the merfolk didn't make a move this time. They must be hiding in some dark corner watching secretly. Otherwise, if he could find a way to kill a few more, he could have pieced it together.
His sick leave had run out of time, and he slowly strolled back to his own camp. The 134th Battalion was on high alert, everyone rushing around. During combat, his rank was prioritized for combat units; he remained the guard captain, but his assigned defensive area...
It's a huge rock that would take more than a dozen people to hug.
This large rock serves as a boundary; to the left is the defensive range of the First Guard Team, and to the right is the Second Team.
The third team sat on the rocks.
At first, a battalion commander discovered that Zhong Ming had not returned when the enemy attacked, and assumed he was dead. Unexpectedly, he actually returned, so the commander had no choice but to assign him to this place.
When there was nothing to do, they would sit on top of the rock, and when they rested, they would lie down under the rock and sleep to the sound of cannon fire.
Zhong Ming didn't set up any particularly sophisticated formations. He simply threw away a cheap array plate and that was enough to complete the "construction." He even borrowed the array plate from next door.
Alas, even a hero can be brought down by a single military merit.
The previous six thousand military merit points were later discussed and given to Xuan Jing to repay the favor to Matt and the others. Before they even had a chance to ask about it, he was truly penniless.
He sat dejectedly on top of the large rock. The cultivators on his left and right sides were either hiding or patrolling, but he was the only one sitting casually at the highest point.
"Hey, observer, did you spot any enemies today?" People would always ask him this with a grin.
"Nothing to do today," he always replied.
