Chapter 248 Eastern Front
East Coast of Meteorite Continent
It has the well-known Pearl Beach and Pearl Sea, a great place for vacation and fishing.
But at this moment, the sand of Pearl Beach no longer shines with its former luster, but is stained with a layer of scarlet blood.
The surrounding sea water was no longer clear, but became turbid, as if even the sea was mourning the cruelty of the war.
The winter chill has just receded, but the temperature is still not high, which is the only blessing.
Because if the temperature were any higher, the corpses and blood on the battlefield would sooner or later cause a plague.
The war between humans and demons has lasted for a month, and countless compatriots have fallen here.
But their sacrifice was not in vain. At least the demons have not been able to invade the continent so far and are firmly blocked outside the East China Sea.
At this moment, it was time to withdraw the troops. The soldiers leaned against the newly built city wall and took the time to practice, hoping to restore their condition to full strength.
This way, they will have more hope of survival in the next battle.
Li Yan, the supreme commander of the East, stood at the highest point of the city wall, his eyes as sharp as an eagle, scanning the entire battlefield.
His face bore traces of weathering, but his eyes burned with an unyielding fire.
The battle situation is severe and the situation of the demons is not yet fully understood. He cannot act rashly and can only choose passive defense.
He knew very well that this line of defense was related to the survival of the human race, and he could not be careless in the slightest.
Behind him are countless countries and people, so he dare not slack off at all.
The central government has issued a death order and no retreat is allowed.
Li Yan also wanted to attack the East China Sea and raid the lair of the alien demons, but it was not that easy.
First of all, sea combat is the strong point of the alien demons. Secondly, all of them in the Dust-Breaking Stage are being watched closely. As long as they go to the battlefield, the alien demons will dare to send out double their combat force.
As for the Mahayana stage, they cannot get involved in this battlefield. The strength of the demons is still unclear.
There are not many strong people in the Mahayana period, so we must be careful and cautious. The death of one of them is a great loss to mankind.
Li Yan's gaze fell on the foot of the city wall, where there was a busy scene.
The workers were sweating profusely, the tools in their hands gleaming in the morning light, and every strike was like beating the drums of war.
These workers who are not very strong dare not slack off at all. This city wall is not only a barrier to defend against demons, but also the hope in their hearts.
Every brick and stone embodies the tenacity and perseverance of the human race.
Under the city wall, the soldiers were either sitting or standing, some were resting with their eyes closed, some were exchanging battle experiences, and some were silently wiping their weapons.
Their eyes revealed determination and resoluteness. Everyone knew that the next battle could come at any time and they had to be prepared at all times.
At a corner of the city wall, a young soldier was leaning against the wall, his eyes gazing at the distant sea.
He didn't practice, nor did he speak, he just sat quietly.
His name is Lin Feng, he is a new recruit and this is his first time participating in such a large-scale war.
There was still some childishness on his face, but there was a firmness in his eyes that did not match his age.
He thought of his relatives at home and their reluctance and anticipation when they sent him off to war.
He tightly gripped the long sword in his hand and silently swore in his heart that he would definitely return alive, he would definitely.
Li Yan's gaze finally fell on Lin Feng. He walked over and patted Lin Feng on the shoulder.
"Young man, what are you thinking about?" There was a hint of gentleness in his voice.
Lin Feng came to his senses, stood up quickly and saluted.
"Commander, I'm homesick."
Li Yan nodded, his eyes softening. "We all miss home, but we are here to protect our home."
He paused and continued, "Are you afraid?"
Lin Feng hesitated for a moment, then shook his head firmly.
"I'm not afraid, because I know we are fighting for justice."
Li Yan smiled, with a hint of admiration in his smile.
"Well said, justice requires courage and wisdom. Remember, only by staying alive can you fight to the end."
Lin Feng nodded heavily, his eyes gleaming with determination. "I will, Commander."
Li Yan turned around, sighed quietly, and looked at the battlefield again.
Most of the supporting troops this time are newcomers who have just joined the battlefield. It seems that the troops in the rear are also weak.
The mortality rate for these recruits is so high that it's good enough to be able to survive.
Two more battles and he would probably become a veteran, but that wouldn't be of much use.
If the fighting continues, no one knows how many casualties the human side will suffer.
But as the supreme commander, he cannot be passive and must stabilize the morale of the troops.
This war is far from over, and the threat of demons still exists.
But he also believed that as long as the human race was united, nothing was impossible.
The sun gradually rose, and the sunlight shone on the city wall, bringing a touch of warmth to this bloody land.
Zheng Su walked out from the shadows of the military camp, the sunlight shining on his robe, reflecting a gentle glow.
He had just finished his rest and was full of energy, ready to take over from Li Yan and become the commander of the next battle.
Zheng Su hurried to the city wall, where Li Yan was already waiting for him.
Their eyes met, no words were needed, everything was done in this silent gaze.
Li Yan yawned and it was time to go down and rest.
Suddenly, there was a violent fluctuation of spiritual power in the sky, as if something was approaching rapidly.
The soldiers under the city wall immediately became nervous. They gripped their weapons tightly and looked up at the sky vigilantly.
Li Yan and Zheng Su also felt this fluctuation, and they immediately prepared for battle.
Could it be that the demons have a new means of attack?
They actually attacked from the rear, could there be a traitor?
However, when Zheng Su looked up, what he saw was a flying wooden boat, not the demon he had expected.
He immediately ordered everyone to stop, already knowing who was coming.
"The reinforcements from Tianyi Sect have arrived." Zheng Su said to Li Yan with a hint of relief in his voice.
Li Yan nodded, and a hint of expectation appeared in his eyes.
Zheng Su had mentioned Tianyi Sect's support to him more than once, hoping to get some military funds from him.
Judging from the scale now, I guess their strength is not that low.
The two walked together to the square in the center of the military camp, where the wooden boat landed.
The wooden boat slowly landed. Its shape was simple and mysterious, with complex runes carved on the hull, emitting a faint spiritual light.
Two people got off the boat. They were dressed in gorgeous robes and had extraordinary temperament. They were obviously elders of Tianyi Sect.
Then two more young men jumped down from the side of the ship. Between them was a dragon cub, its eyes clear and curious, looking around.
"You are finally here. I was hoping to wait a few more days." Zheng Su walked forward with a smile on his face.
"Senior, what is the situation here now?" asked one of the elders, his voice steady and powerful.
"The battle situation is severe, but we are still persevering." Li Yan replied.
