Global Catastrophe: I Became the World Tree-Chapter 667 - 379: The Spider Queen’s Counterattack_2

If all the Wind Superpowered Beings were gathered together and used to dissipate the fog, they could completely prevent these green toxic fogs from approaching the walls.

It could be said that if their chances of holding out before the bombing were only 20%, then after this round of bombing, they had at least risen to 60%.

"General Ye, if we can turn the tide of this war, your contributions will be absolutely immense. I estimate that once this battle is over, our military ranks will be the same," Zhao Guofeng said to Ye Feng, sounding a little relieved and somewhat emotional.

Ye Feng’s rise to the rank of major general was entirely due to his potential, which was akin to an early investment.

This time, Ye Feng had truly earned immense credit, and his promotion was thus a matter of course.

"Actually, I’m not that concerned about this," he said. "What’s more important is that we still need to be cautious and careful with this battle, as the enemy’s main force is far from being crippled."

"More importantly, the one commanding this Mutated Creature Army is an intelligent being. We have no idea if they have any tricks up their sleeve, so it’s better to be cautious," Ye Feng reminded.

"Don’t worry, I’m fully aware of these scenarios," Zhao Guofeng said with a smile. "But now, the successful execution of the bombing operation has bought us the most crucial time."

"Because in 15 minutes, the first wave of reinforcements will arrive, composed of no less than 10 mechanized infantry divisions, which will greatly alleviate our current shortage of military strength."

"And half an hour later, the second wave of reinforcements will also arrive. Although this wave of reinforcements only has the strength of 5 divisions, there is also a Mecha battalion included."

"Mecha?" Ye Feng was slightly surprised.

"Yes, the kind that was developed to deal with Seventh Order beings. Of course, it may not suffice against Seventh Order Strongmen now, but dealing with Sixth Order Mutated Creatures, taking on ten at a time is certainly no problem."

"By the time the newly allocated 1,000 Mechas arrive, it will be as if we have added 1,000 of the finest Sixth Order Mutants."

"As long as we have these Mechas, those Sixth Order Mutated Animals won’t stand a chance of leaping onto the city walls."

"Time is on our side. The longer we can drag this out, the more reinforcements will arrive. If we can hold out for over a day, with the reinforcements from other provinces, our military strength can reach well over a million, making a counterattack not impossible."

"It can be said that thanks to your help, the most difficult time has passed. Now, as long as we can hold out, the scales of victory will naturally start to tip in our favor," Zhao Guofeng said with a laugh.

Now that he understood the subsequent plan, Ye Feng relaxed.

Soon after, Zhao Guofeng and the staff officers returned to the command post.

Although Ye Feng remained at the city wall, the need for his presence had drastically decreased.

After one round of bombing, the assault intensity of the Mutated Creatures wasn’t even as strong as their previous attacks.

Faced with this situation, the competitors on the city walls were more than enough to handle it with ease.

Ye Feng sat down and rested against the battlements.

In fact, after such an extended period of fighting, he too was mentally exhausted, and he didn’t mind taking the chance to rest.

Seeing Ye Feng like this, the contestants who wanted to approach him for a chat at this time became too embarrassed to disturb him.

The nearby logistics soldiers, recognizing the cue, brought various kinds of food to Ye Feng.

While others had to gnaw on dry rations during rest, it was different for Ye Feng; there were even cooks who specially brought him pastries and fruits.

In a time of war, Ye Feng was probably the only one who could enjoy such treatment.

But nobody objected, and everyone even felt it was only natural.

Ye Feng did not hold back, and after wolfing down some food, he closed his eyes to rest.

Of course, this was what the outsiders saw. In reality, Ye Feng’s consciousness had already possessed his contracted Mutated Eagle.

This was a phenomenon that Ye Feng, in his human form, discovered only after his Soul Origin had fully recovered.

Possibly because of his unique soul, he could sense and even directly command all Mutated Animals contracted with the World Tree Body.

At this moment, this was exactly what Ye Feng was doing.

After his consciousness took possession of this mutated hawk, Ye Feng commanded the Mutated Hawk Squad to disperse and began to search with all their might for the hidden entity behind the scenes.

No matter whether the humans could win the battle in Daxinganling, if the existence hiding behind wasn’t dealt with, they wouldn’t have achieved a true victory.

Especially once the Spiritual Energy Resurgence happened again, they would need to guard against the Forbidden Zones with all their might. At that time, having such an unstable element would be like a fishbone stuck in one’s throat.

However, despite Ye Feng’s efforts, the range of Daxinganling was simply too vast, and even flying over the entire area was no easy feat.

Not to mention finding a concealed existence within it.

Moreover, Ye Feng had absolutely no idea what Realm the existence was in, what strange methods it might possess, or even what kind of creature it was.

So all he could do was attempt to distinguish each creature below to see if there were any unusual beings.

Such a search was purely down to luck; if the other party had the means to hide their presence, he wouldn’t notice even if he flew right in front of them.

Despite the dire circumstances, Ye Feng was not in a hurry.

Because he had plenty of time. And as more mutated beings kept getting annihilated, Ye Feng believed that the other party would eventually surface.

Time passed slowly, and before long, 10 minutes had elapsed.

At that moment, Ye Feng’s brows suddenly furrowed.

Because, while searching extensively in possession of the mutated hawk, he suddenly sensed something amiss.

He had reached the direction of the right flank of the Mutated Armies and discovered that the mutated creatures on this defense line were not advancing but instead continued to move to the right.

This instantly put Ye Feng on alert, and he immediately controlled the mutated hawk to fly over there to see what was happening.

Merely tens of seconds later, Ye Feng, who had been previously resting with his eyes closed, suddenly stood up.

His face no longer bore any relaxed expression; it was instead replaced by one of utter gravity.

He couldn’t help but curse out loud, "Damn, I knew this battle wouldn’t be easy. The enemy has several trump cards in hand; they couldn’t possibly lose if they used their brains even a little."

Because just now, the mutated hawk he possessed saw masses upon masses of mutated creatures crossing the river.

The reason why these mutated creatures needed to cross the river had to do with the location where this camp was established.

In order to contain the Mutated Animals from Daxinganling from raiding human cities,

this camp was situated between two canals.

And a wall stretching over a dozen kilometers had been built, connecting with the two canals to form a basic barrier. This arrangement was made to intercept as many Mutated Animals from Daxinganling as possible.

By the time Ye Feng, controlling the mutated hawk, arrived, he saw dozens of towering trees that had been knocked down, lying across the canal to form a simple floating bridge.

By now, over a hundred thousand mutated creatures had crossed the "floating bridge" to the other side of the canal.

Although these hundred thousand mutated creatures had taken a long detour, they no longer needed to face the towering wall.

The other three sides of the camp lacked a wall, with only a short perimeter wall that could hardly be of any significant use.

The only thing that might be effective was the minefield outside.

But these arrangements, initially set up to cope with the occasional crazed mutated creature that broke through, were sufficient to fend off several tens to hundreds of Mutated Animals without issue.

However, if the number exceeded a thousand, whether it could hold was a problem.

And to say nothing of the fact that the number of mutated creatures engaged in battle were counted in tens of thousands.

Once these mutated creatures crossed the river, the camp would be virtually defenseless.

By then, how could the 300,000 troops at the camp contend with the Mutated Animal Army, which numbered over 8 million?
