1263 Lightning Ground!
The 13th frontline!
The place was located in the Northwest region of the No. 29 Defense Planet, right on top of a canyon. It was a strategic location to stop the invasion of dark apparitions.
The location was easy to defend but hard to invade.
However, the 13th frontline fell after holding on for half a day during the previous war.
Many reinforcements were sent but to no avail.
Many martial warriors died there, staining the canyon with their blood. Most of the forces managed to retreat in time but the losses were heavy.
The canyon was formerly known as the Angoro Grand Canyon before the No. 29 Defense Planet was invaded by dark apparitions. It was a beautiful and majestic holiday destination.
However, it was currently drenched in blood; the soil and rocks turned a black-brown color, giving off a thick stench.
Once the dark apparitions overran that defense line, a large number of their low-ranking specters started wandering around the canyon, expanding their territory.
6000 meters away, 50 battlecrafts stopped and observed the 13th defense line from afar.
Wang Teng and his deputy regimental commander stood in front of the control panel; the defense line status was being displayed there.
Images kept changing, showing everyone present a clear picture of the current condition. The atmosphere in the battlecraft tensed up.
There are at least 70,000 low-rank dark apparitions, Huo Qiya said grimly.
Those are just low-ranked apparitions. The powerful ones are hiding inside the base, Deputy Wei Tong added.
Based on the available information, the high-rank members roaming this defense line are of the vampire type, of low-tier devil emperor stage. No mid-tier devil emperors have been detected, Deputy Jira explained.
Low-tier devil emperor! Wang Teng was surprised. Are you sure this defense base was overtaken by low-tier devil emperors? What stage was the commander in charge of this base?
Yes, theyre just low-tier devil emperors. This is the video feed of the battle; it was sent back to the base just in time. You can take a look. Deputy Jira tapped on the screen and a video started playing. An intense battle appeared before Wang Teng.
The latter watched it carefully. His gaze landed on a vampire being with a powerful aura. Just from the video reference, he could tell it was low-tiered.
Furthermore, the previous commander of the 13th frontline, Lu Gaoge, had verbally expressed his opponents ability.
However, its battle ability was terrifying, managing to hold the commander back during the final explosive stage.
It had to be noted that Lu Gaoge was a heaven stage martial warrior; only at the beginner level but heaven stage no less. Even so, the low-tier devil emperor managed to force him to retreat. This showed how powerful the dark apparition was.
Huo Qiya and the others became more serious after seeing the video.
Major General Lu Gaoge was powerful, but he had no advantages when facing the dark apparition.
It was likely that neither of them would be a match if they encountered the being.
Well, they would probably have a chance to hold him back if the five deputies acted at the same time.
However, that wasnt the only one of them. It would be unrealistic to have the five deputies handle a single low-tier devil emperor.
Suddenly, they remembered that they had a monster on their side, too.
Their ally was even more astonishing than the other in comparison.
That low-tier vampire dark apparition had fought a heaven stage martial warrior, yet Wang Teng killed a mid-tier devil emperor, while being a celestial stage martial warrior.
Huo Qiya and the others looked at Wang Teng. They went to study his battle at the third frontline, only to conclude he was indeed powerful.
It wasnt a battle won by luck!
Why are yall looking at me? Wang Teng was analyzing the battle video when he noticed his deputies staring at him.
Cough. Wei Tong coughed awkwardly and asked, Commander, can you tackle that dark apparition?
Are yall planning to make me handle him on my own? Wang Teng felt speechless.
Commander, youre very powerful. A low-tier devil emperor will be a piece of cake for you, Huo Qiya said.
I highly suspect that youre taking revenge. Wang Teng glanced at him from the corner of his eye.
No, Im not that kind of person, Huo Qiya replied with a poker face.
I dont believe you. Wang Teng rolled his eyes. He didnt know that the stern-looking fellow could lie with a straight face; he had the wrong impression of him.
You cant judge a book by its cover!
Commander, I think you can deal with that apparition with the ultimate move you used in the third frontline, Feng Gang said.
Feng Gang, do you think our commander cant handle that vampire dark apparition? Deputy Jira laughed.
Huh? What do you mean? Feng Gang was confused.
Our commander is just being humble, the tall and muscular Wei Tong said with a chuckle. There was a smart glimmer in his eyes.
Feng Gang was speechless. Am I the only one who believed it?
Stupid! Marly said indifferently.
Feng Gang didnt mind. He glanced at Wang Teng bitterly.
All right, Ill take care of that vampire apparition. Wang Teng hurriedly shifted his eyes away. He couldnt handle the deadly glare of a middle-aged man.
That being the case, well have time to tackle the rest of the low-tier devil emperors, Wei Tong said.
Before taking action, we need to come up with a plan. Charging straight to clash with the deputy regimental commanders isnt a smart decision, Deputy Jira said.
Yes. Wang Teng nodded. He turned and spoke to Peggy who had been quiet thus far. Peggy, come and join our discussion.
Me?!
Peggy had barely entered the Tiger Strike Force and her contribution slate was clean. She was indeed Wang Tengs adjutant but she was still a newbie; that is why she had not attempted to butt in the conversation.
She was equally shocked and touched when she heard Wang Teng calling her over.
He was clearly giving her a chance to perform.
Jira, Huo Qiya, and the others realized his intention. Hence, they gave her a knowing look when they saw Peggys approach.
Wei Tong and Feng Gang even gave Wang Teng an ambiguous smile.
They were stunned by her beauty at their first meeting. She was like a snow flower blooming in Winterelegant, refined, and beautiful. Her cold aura prevented people from getting close, but their desire to conquer this ice queen was aroused.
Any man would love such a lady.
She was a rare breed in the military. No wonder Wang Teng kept her close.
Wei Tong and the other men were envious, feeling that they had squandered their time in the military. How could they not know of such a beauty?
Whats with that gaze? Wang Teng glared at his subordinates.
Peggy also noticed their expressions. A tinge of red appeared on her white ears.
Cough, lets get back to business. Jira coughed and saved Peggy from the embarrassment.
Right, lets get back to business, Wei Tong agreed readily.
Everyone retracted their gazes, not daring to look at her anymore. If Wang Teng got angry, he could deliberately make things hard for them.
Peggy turned serious. She took a deep breath and stepped forward; then, she tapped on the screen and an image appeared.
Everyone looked at her curiously, wondering what she was thinking.
I did some research on the Angoro Grand Canyon prior to this meeting. The local weather has changed for some reason, turning the entire canyon into a lightning ground every three months. Lightning strikes gather in this area, Peggy explained.
Everyone seemed to understand what she meant.
So? Jira asked with interest. This adjutant isnt a brainless beauty.
Wang Teng smiled. He sat down on the host seat and gave Peggy a look of encouragement.
Good job!
As expected of my person.
The dark apparitions fear lightning. We can make use of the lightning to catch the dark apparitions off guard. This way we can be victorious with less effort, Peggy said firmly. Her confidence grew after seeing Wang Tengs gaze.
This is a good idea. Deputy Jira looked at Wang Teng and smiled.
Well need to build a large-scale lightning array if we want to attract more lightning. The array must be powerful or it will explode with the pressure from all that lightning. How strong is the lightning there? Wang Teng asked.
Based on past records, well need a fifth-rank grandmaster level lightning array, Peggy replied instantly.
She had made ample preparations.
Wang Teng nodded and asked, Good. Does anyone have any questions?
Fifth-rank grandmaster level? I wonder if the rune master in our force can handle this. Jira hesitated.
Let them try. If they cant, Ill do it, Wang Teng replied indifferently.
You? Huo Qiya and the others stared at him in surprise.
I forgot to tell you that I have some understanding of runes and managed to become a grandmaster, Wang Teng replied casually.
Some understanding? Everyone was astounded.
Its the grandmaster level!
Not everyone could become one. His attitude was a little too lighthearted.
Peggy looked at Wang Teng speechlessly. She came up with the plan but she didnt know that Wang Teng was a rune grandmaster.
This was too hard to believe!
She wondered what other surprises Wang Teng had for her.
Commander, are you kidding? Wei Tong asked with uncertainty.
Look at my face. Dont I look serious? Wang Teng asked.
Erm... not really, Wei Tong replied honestly.
Go away! Wang Teng kicked him angrily. Is he blind? Cant he see how serious I am?
Wei Tong felt wronged. He was being honest and he got kicked. Whats more, he couldnt dodge. How pitiful.
Everyone burst out laughing.
All right, go and make preparations. Wang Teng waved his hands.
Yes! Everyone was quick to reply.
Setting up the array wasnt an issue, since Wang Teng was a rune grandmaster. That piece of news gave them much confidence.
