Another World Mall-Chapter 519: Wolf Rider
"The beasts are coming!"
The soldiers shouted as they were targeting the beasts that had just emerged from the forest. "Shoot them!"
The soldiers immediately fired all their bullets. The turrets on top of the wall were firing, obliterating the beasts.
There were also a lot of explorers that participated in this battle, considering they had no other way out. If the military failed in this place, the beasts would overrun them not long after. Hence, it was better to just join the fight.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
The mines that had just been scattered around the area started to blow up, killing tens of beasts.
However, that wasn’t enough.

The commander raised his head, looking at the trees that were bulldozed by the beasts as they came to this place.
"How many beasts are there? Tens of thousands?" The commander bit his lips. "Without the support from the headquarters, we won’t be able to hold for so long. More importantly…"
The commander squinted his eyes as if he were waiting for a huge silhouette coming.
The battle had become more chaotic the moment it reached their wall. Without being able to enter, the beasts didn’t have a choice but to go around the base.
The base’s gates had been locked, so no beasts could enter easily. However, it also meant that there wouldn’t be people coming to this place.
Once the beasts were about to reach the top, several soldiers surrounded it and attacked this beast from multiple sides, killing the beast. They kicked it off the wall, its corpse crashing to another beast.
Their coordination, strength, and even weapons couldn’t be compared to the city they lived in just a month ago.
Several missiles flew into the sky and bombarded the enemies. However, more and more beasts simply came out, as though there were an unlimited number of beasts inhabiting this jungle.
The commander maintained his position with a calm expression, as if he had expected this progression.
While the situation looked quite good for the base, the same couldn’t be said for Clovis and the others.
Roar!
Roar!
Roar!
The beasts’ roars filled up the air, alerting every one of them.
They had just killed tens of beasts that came after them, but it seemed they didn’t have time to catch their breaths.
"This is not looking good." Clovis squinted his eyes.
Melody could see it clearer from the sky, so she said, "We have to retreat. There are more than a thousand beasts coming our way."
"How is the situation over there?"
"They are still rescuing the people. And it’s not possible to return to the base right now. If we want, we have to find another location to keep those people safe."
Clovis paused for a moment, looking at everything around him. It would be impossible for them to kill more than a thousand beasts by themselves. They could only do it if they only had to fight tens of beasts at a time, not all one thousand at the same time.
That was why the best option was to retreat. However, if they retreated, the situation would be even more dangerous.
After all, those people they had decided to save would become the main prey for these beasts.
"Any idea about that place?" Clovis asked.
The one who gave the answer was not Melody. It was Luci.
"There is an old base not far from here. It’s the former base 059 before they are moving to the new place, which is closer to the forest. That place is much safer. We can also close the wall and show no sign of living so that they will not attack us."
"How far is that place, Luci?"
"About one kilometer."
"Tell those people to run for their lives. We will be giving you fifteen minutes. Jay?"
"Understood." Jay’s tone turned serious.
It was clear that Jay would be leading the group even if he had to use force.
Erwin clicked his tongue. "This is going to be annoying. How many beasts are there? Can they be any less?"
"What are you talking about? This is already so little. We are talking about a forest with a size of one hundred kilometers in all directions. You think they will only have a few tens of thousands of beasts? No way. They will probably have hundreds of thousands, if not millions.
We should feel lucky that only about a thousand are coming toward us." Melody shook her head helplessly.
"Nevertheless, this place is going to be dangerous. Even if we can save those people, we will have to expose Reolf. That’s why I have a different plan." Clovis’ expression turned serious.
"A different plan? Against those beasts?"
"Yeah. And the ones that might come after that." Clovis nodded. "We will split our group even further. I will go with Reolf, bringing down as many beasts as possible. You two will regroup with Jay."
"Are you serious?" Erwin frowned.
"Yeah. I’m serious. If we don’t do this, not only will Reolf be exposed, but we’ll also be in mortal danger." Clovis sighed. "Jay is to take over the command of the group once we split up."
There were two reasons why he chose this approach. He revealed the first reason to Melody, "Tell Jay and Kanaria to use this precious time to get as much essence as possible. It will be even better if they can evolve to Tier 3. I and Reolf will buy as much time as possible for them."
"!!!" Melody and Erwin looked surprised, but this was probably the most logical decision. If Jay and Kanaria could reach Tier 3, the group’s survival would definitely be much higher.
The second card was something he couldn’t reveal, but going with Reolf was much safer than going alone. After all, with Reolf’s size, he could easily ride on him like a knight. Combining his speed and Reolf becoming his mount, even if he couldn’t defeat the enemies, he could always escape.
Since the beasts were about to reach them, Clovis immediately rushed forth, not waiting for them to reply. He slashed the beasts, killing them in rapid succession without using his perfect state.
There was one thing he didn’t want to tell them. He was actually planning to use this incident to also reach Tier 3.
