BXBX NOVEL Chapter 840 Tables Turned
Chapter 840 Tables Turned
But this development had literally turned the tables. Once the Border Guards in other sections of the wall detected movement on their radars, scouts reported a series of intrusions on multiple parts of the wall. As stretched as they could have been, the remaining few Border Guards knew that death was inevitable.
Coincidentally, the same was happening at Huizhou where new Bone Spirit Infused Demons popped up on their radar and started to head towards the border walls, ignoring the portion where the Royal Tigers and Royal Snakes were situated. Fortunately, because of the detailed preparations by those two battalions, the Border Guards in Huizhou were equipped with better weapons, and there were even light armour tanks being stationed on the walls that contributed with their great firepower against the Monster Horde.
Because of the sudden slew of monsters, one might even liken the border wall as the latest \'great\' wall of China to slow down the invasion. Attack Helicopters were also deployed to provide quick air support within the dense forests as Hou Fei, and Ya Bai called for the retreat. The two generals had thought they were making progress, but that sudden arrival of overwhelming creatures was too much for even their elite soldiers.
However, with three Royal Battalions signalling for help to the main headquarters, it definitely rang the alarm for the upper echelons. The Joint Chiefs in the China Armed Forces immediately convened and took the current matter seriously. While they received observation reports consistently from their own intelligence office with regards to the issue at hand, they had not taken it too seriously mainly because the government had prioritised their economic benefits before the Chinese New Year Holidays.
For this reason, the headquarters had sent out a couple of the Royal Battalions to quell the horde before it got too messy. But this current turn of developments shocked the entire headquarters and even the political offices in Beijing began to respond to this unprecedented Monster Horde.
JODE Chancellor Ma Ge had also been notified of the recent developments and did not hesitate to recommend to take actions in accordance to a Level 5 Danger Alert to the Joint Chiefs ever since he received news of Instructor Yuan, a District Guardian categorising it as a Level 4 Danger Alert bordering on Level 5.
This also prompted him to arrange a quick meeting with the heads of various Demon Exorcist offices to put up an emergency defence plan. But unlike the Joint Chief Office, they had no such plans in the first place. After all, each office enjoyed some anonymity and had their own ways of dealing with the problems. They however unanimously agreed to send out a number of their elites to Huizhou and Dongguan immediately.
Without a doubt, the various ministerial offices also began drawing emergency plans to deal with the worst case scenarios. At the same time, the Armed Forces Headquarters sent out deployment orders to increase the guards in the other territories in case similar Monster Hordes appeared out of nowhere in other provinces. From procurement of food and supplies and to the placement of troops, the backend finally made a move.
Still, the urgent deployment of troops and equipment required time and there was literally none to spare for the soldiers that were currently fighting on scene. There was nothing stopping those monsters from pouring into the cities despite the declaration of a nation wide emergency.
Jin, who saw the development first hand, felt equally powerless until he received an urgent call from Hou Fei. "Boss! Master! We need your help desperately! Fuck secrecy! Do whatever is necessary! I will convince my Clan Head to cover your presence as much as needed no matter what you do!" Hou Fei pleaded, and Jin knew how risky this call of help would be.
As much as he wanted to arrive with grandiose like a superhero, there were untold consequences upon doing that. The System might get revealed to the higher authorities and to the Royal Zodiac Clans further. It would be more than a hassle, especially after Jin already had \'enjoyed\' some first hand experience on how they used their authority to put pressure on him after learning about his portals.
Yet if he did not appear, many of the soldiers might die, and many cities would potentially be ruined. His deployment might not fully stop the Monster Horde, but he and his monsters could definitely influence the degree of the aftermath.
"I…" Jin bit on his tongue. He could not make up his mind with so much at risk.
"User, if you are too worried about involving yourself, System will support reallocating to another world if needed as per your recommendations. The Tree Mall can still operate without your presence here. Upon repeated revision of resources, we are currently self sufficient enough to not worry about this." The System interjected its opinion while also hoping that Jin could do the right thing.
"Damn it, JIN! This is no time to be concerned about politics, secrecy or whatever shit! If we have the power to help someone, we do it!" Hou Fei shouted, and that sentence woke him up violently. That was because his grandfather used to say the exact same thing to him when he was still alive and kicking.
"Screw it! You are right, let\'s do this! Hou Fei, get ready to cover EVERYTHING up. I will be ready in five minutes!" Jin said as he started to change the program on his interface.
"Like hell if I have fucking five minutes to spare!" Hou Fei cursed before he sighed once more and changed his tune. "Fine, five minutes! But that\'s all we can give you. Every minute equals the lives of soldiers, so if you can, please hurry." Hou Fei turned off the System Channel and gave the good news to his officers.
"User, what are you doing?" The System asked as Jin was coding something quick.
"Moloch, you can handle the stuff here, right?" Jin asked as he typed furiously on the interface.
"No problem. You can trust me on that. I\'ll get all the Demon Rats for your dungeon than you will ever need. Besides, if anything goes weirdly wrong, Kraft still owes me a favour for pulling that Demon Metropolis nonsense on me so you can rampage however you like. I will get his help when needed."
"I heard that." Kraft\'s voice appeared behind them before the man himself exited from the shadows. "Funny thing, here I thought attacking Paradiso WAS a favour to you. Then again, who am I to say no to have a bit more fun."
"Shouldn\'t you be still stalking nuns and priests?" Moloch raised his eyebrow.
"Well, Kiyu can manage without me for a while, besides the current situation is way more fun. Do you really have to put me with Cotton Butt here? I could help you tremendously. You could use the terrifying firepower of my foxes." Kraft commented towards the duo in the Dungeon Maker.
"You are my last resort, till then please assist Moloch." Jin did not say much but that however changed Kraft\'s smile.
"Oh Master, how I like that you thrust me into such a precarious situation so readily! Fine. Cottony bosoms, I will assist you for now." Kraft said as he disappeared into thin air once again and made his appearance known at the Crashed Fortress.
"Thank you." Jin typed finished the command prompt on the System interface, and the System realised what its User was doing all this while.
"Understood. User will receive the desired effect upon teleportation." The System replied. If anything, it believed that was an ingenious move for a cover up.
