Chapter 378 Dark Race Invasion
Just as Li Chenglong finished his preparations and was about to head to Europe, Zheng Yong and Feng Tian suddenly walked in. As soon as they entered, they said anxiously, "Old Li, the dark races have begun their invasion, and they're coming on strong."
Upon hearing this news, Li Chenglong accepted the document sent by the China headquarters, and Yun Lan also came over. The document showed that dark races had suddenly appeared in Nanyun Province and Guizhou Province in the southwest region of China, and at the same time, dark races had also appeared in the northwest region of China.
After reading the document, Li Chenglong said, "Notify the Dawn City Air Force that the Eagle high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft take off immediately to conduct detailed reconnaissance of the situation in both locations. At the same time, send out two groups of three Tyrannosaurus fighters to conduct low- and medium-altitude reconnaissance. Tell them to be careful. The Dark Race also has very powerful individuals who definitely possess air-to-air capabilities."
He paused for a moment, then continued, “Notify the headquarters of the 1st Army of the Dawn Army in Dawn City to prepare for battle. We may be heading to the front lines to fight those damned dark races to the death. Also, notify Colonel Qin Fangyu of the Equipment Support Force to send someone to me to receive the super-powered rifles that have been manufactured these past few days, and prioritize distributing them to the 1st Army.”
After arranging these matters, Li Chenglong and Yun Lan immediately went to the Information Management Department on the 8th floor and connected to the Yanjing headquarters via video call through the branch Crystal Computer.
Chen Guoqiang said, "Zhao Wuji just contacted me through the crystal network, saying that the areas in the southwest where the dark races appeared are the residential areas allocated to the new humans under the 56 Agreement, so they will be responsible for encircling and annihilating the dark races in those areas. As for the dark races in the northwest, according to the report from the Northwest War Zone, the situation is very serious. The enemy is very numerous and has a high combat power. There is a medium-sized base and a small base, which fell within an hour."
Li Chenglong said solemnly, "Our Dawn Army is ready and can strike at any time." Chen Guoqiang nodded in satisfaction, "General Sun Tianlong has already traveled by plane to the Northwest Theater Command as a representative of the Huaxia and Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei theater commands. In addition, General Aizimaiti of the Northwest Theater Command has also led the three major bases of the Northwest Theater Command to form a defensive line. Li Chenglong, in this battle, your Dawn Army should be ready to strike at any time. If the Northwest Theater Command cannot hold out, that will be the time for you to strike."
After speaking with the commander, Li Chenglong first handed the storage capsules filled with energy rifles to the officer in charge of the equipment logistics support unit, instructing him to take them back to Qin Fangyu. After the capsules were counted, they were distributed.
Yunlan asked with some concern, "Do you think the comrades in the Northwest Theater Command can hold them off?" Li Chenglong shook his head: "It's hard to say. We still need to see the intelligence sent back by the Eagle high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft and the Tyrannosaurus fighter jet. But the Northwest Theater Command currently only has Zhou Siyun, a level 12 expert. If the enemy is very strong and has too many top experts, even the defenses of the three major bases will have a hard time stopping them. I'm going to a meeting at the military headquarters now. You go to the Rocket Force to check on their preparations, and then come and meet me."
Yun Lan nodded and left the Central Information Management Department. Li Chenglong thought for a moment and dialed the number of Yang Liu, the captain of the special forces team, instructing all 40 members of the team to assemble, prepare their equipment, and head to the Northwest Theater Command. He had already contacted Wang Ruyan, who would arrange for the special forces team to be stationed there. The special forces team's mission this time was to familiarize themselves with the terrain and ascertain the enemy's combat capabilities and troop deployment, so as to obtain first-hand intelligence when the Dawn Army needed to launch an attack later.
An hour later, all officers of regimental and deputy regimental level and above in the Dawn Army gathered in the military headquarters' conference room: "We've called you all here so early because it's important. According to accurate intelligence, yesterday afternoon, a large number of dark races appeared simultaneously in southwestern and northwestern China. The southwest region can be temporarily ignored, as the Zombie Empire has stated it will launch a siege. However, the situation in the Northwest Theater is more severe. Currently, a medium-sized base and a small base have been destroyed. The Northwest Theater is now setting up a defensive line against the Dark Alliance, centered around the three major bases. Headquarters has ordered the Dawn Army to be ready to strike at any time!"
Then Zheng Yong and Feng Tian recounted the details of what had happened and made arrangements for the Dawn Army, especially the 1st Army.
Li Chenglong said seriously, "The fact that we were able to capture two bases in such a short time proves that the enemy is very strong. Although the Dawn Army has not suffered any defeats recently, or even all along, we must take this seriously. Anyone who causes losses due to underestimating the enemy will be severely punished, regardless of our relationship. I'm telling you, no amount of pleading will help. We will deal with them as they see fit."
After the meeting, the officers rushed to their respective units to prepare for the upcoming battle. At this moment, Han Feng, who served as the liaison between the Zombie Empire and Dawn City, walked in. As soon as she entered, she said anxiously, "Lord City, the Dark Empire has now aroused widespread indignation."
Before Li Chenglong could speak, she continued, "The dark races that entered Nanyun Province and Guizhou Province attacked several strongholds of the new humans. The Dui Protector, one of the Eight Protectors, was also besieged and died gloriously in battle. Emperor Zhao Wuji was furious and dispatched five protectors, two marshals, and the Left Prime Minister Dongfang Yunbing, leading a large army to annihilate all those dark races."
Li Chenglong was initially quite pleased, feeling that this meant he had nothing to worry about regarding the dark races in the southwest. With Dongfang Yunbing and the others around, the dark races certainly wouldn't be able to cause any trouble. However, he seemed to suddenly realize something: "What? Protector Dui is dead? A level 12 mid-stage, three-element Protector Dui?"
Han Feng looked at Li Chenglong and nodded: "Yes, this has been confirmed." Li Chenglong was shocked: "This is bad. The Northwest War Zone is in danger. Their strongest fighter is Zhou Siyun, a level 12 early-stage three-elemental ability user. The rest are level 11 ability users and awakened individuals. I'm afraid they can't fight against that aggressive dark race."
Li Chenglong stood up and said, "Han Feng, tell Yun Lan that I'm going to the Northwest War Zone to provide support. Tell her and the relevant troops of the Dawn Army to be ready and await my instructions." After saying that, Li Chenglong used dimensional teleportation to appear in the air, transformed into the blue Holy Dragon Armor, and flew westward. Almost instantly, he disappeared without a trace.
In a remote area of Northwest China, Zhou Siyun was surrounded by a werewolf, a vampire, and an orc. An hour earlier, she had led a large group escorting fleeing residents to another base, but unexpectedly encountered a sudden attack from three extremely powerful dark races. To buy time, she and several comrades fought the dark races while trying to lure them away from the crowd.
However, these three dark races were very powerful. In just five minutes, all her comrades had fallen, leaving only her barely able to withstand their attacks. After such a long battle, she was exhausted and covered in numerous wounds.
The werewolf Gattuso said in broken Chinese, "Women of China, if you are willing to reveal all the deployments in your area and become our slaves to help us attack China, then we will spare your life. However, to ensure your absolute loyalty, we will have the vampire Marquis Simmons implant a vampire pact in you. That way, if you resist, you will be annihilated, hahaha."
The three dark races looked at Zhou Siyun and burst into laughter. The orc Worthy looked at Zhou Siyun's body, which was partially exposed due to her multiple injuries, licked his lips and said, "This Chinese woman has a really good figure, and her skin is so white. She doesn't even have any downy hair. Gentlemen, could you hand her over to me tonight?"
Marquis Simmons, a vampire, knew that orcs were among the most lustful of the dark races. She was just a slave, and he wasn't particularly interested in non-vampire women. So he said, "Alright, I can give her to you tonight, but you mustn't damage her. A level 12 Chinese human is a rare find."
Zhou Siyun was already trembling with rage as she listened to the foul language hurled at her by the three dark races. She threw away the crystal battle sword that had broken in two, took out the Dragon Fang dagger that Li Chenglong had given to each of them in the martial arts tournament, and activated all her supernatural powers to the maximum, preparing for a desperate fight.
Unfortunately, the disparity in strength between the enemy and themselves was too great, and Zhou Siyun was seriously injured. Although she managed to fight the three dark races for a while with her strong will, she soon had no strength left to resist.
Zhou Siyun gripped the Dragon Fang Dagger, her combat uniform soaked in blood, with bright red blood still dripping from her face. The werewolf Gattuso roared, "Haha, admit defeat! You're at your wit's end. If you don't surrender, we'll break your limbs and make you watch yourself become our slave."
Zhou Siyun closed her eyes, and two lines of tears fell. As if she had made up her mind, she said, "Even if I, Zhou Siyun, die, I will never be a slave to you trash." After saying that, she swung the Dragon Fang Dagger and stabbed it into her heart.
