Chapter 107 Never retreat!!!

Located in the wasteland eight kilometers east of Dongxiang Town.

More than a dozen flying summoned beasts flew in from the sky and landed here. More than 1,500 soldiers from the Second Military Region of Shanhe District jumped off these flying summoned beasts and quickly formed into columns of three.

Yuan Zhengshan, the corps commander of the Second Military District of Shanhe District, also jumped down. He faced all the soldiers in the military district. His face was firm, and there was not even a trace of emotion on his face.

"Right in front of you, there is a large group of beasts rushing towards us. There are tens of thousands of them, dozens of times more than us! The leader is an S-level beast!"

In fact, even if Yuan Zhengshan didn't say it, these soldiers knew all of this.

The summoner had excellent hearing and eyesight, and could see everything in front of him: wasteland, the huge tide of beasts, the dark mass, and especially the huge shark in the front. These soldiers saw it all.

Moreover, the beast tide is very close to them and will probably reach them in less than five minutes.

"Unfortunately, Commander He is not here today, and we have been taken advantage of by these beasts. I have already contacted the military camps in District 1 and Xihe District, but it will take them at least 40 minutes to get here. In other words, we have to hold out for half an hour before reinforcements arrive!"

"But, you are not new soldiers anymore, and you know what this half an hour means when facing tens of thousands of ferocious beasts. It means that all of us may die! We may not be able to wait for reinforcements!"

"But! Behind you are tens of thousands of Dongxiang people! They are our relatives, our families, and the people we protect! Once you fall, these beasts will step over your corpses, and everyone behind you will die!"

"So, we can't retreat! We can't fall down!"

"Tell me, what are you?!"

"Soldiers!!!" Fifteen hundred soldiers roared in unison!

"What is your mission?!"

"Defend our country!!!"

"Okay! All soldiers, listen to my command and line up!"

As Yuan Zhengshan's order came down, the 1,500 soldiers immediately formed up into training formations, three in a row and three in a row.

Each team consists of three people, spread out in a star-shaped pattern. They seem scattered, but in fact the teams are connected.

After the troops were lined up, Yuan Zhengshan, the commander of the Second Military Region of Shanhe District, looked at the group of resolute soldiers in front of him and instructed again:

"Later, when those beasts get closer, Deputy Captain Qian and I will work together to hold back the S-ranked Salon beast, and you will be responsible for stopping the remaining beasts."

"When we fight this S-rank beast, you must expand the battlefield and avoid causing any accidental injuries."

"When the real fight starts, you must do your best to prevent the beasts from crossing the defense line. If you let a beast pass, it may cause greater casualties in the rear. Each of you must be fully alert!"

Having said this, Yuan Zhengshan was silent for a moment. He looked at everyone and asked:
"Brothers, this may be our last battle. After today, all of us may die, including me!"

"I ask you, are you afraid?!"

“Don’t be afraid!!!”

"Are you afraid?!"

“Don’t be afraid!!!”

"Can you guys please back off?!"

"I will never retreat!!!"

"I will never retreat!!!"

"I will never retreat!!!"

Three kilometers behind, which is five kilometers east of Dongxiang Town.

On this piece of wasteland, Xu Dasheng, the chief captain of the Dongxiang Control Station, led more than a dozen people including detachment captains Sun Youkun, Feng Peng and deputy captain Liu Quan to stand here, forming the second line of defense.

Compared with the 1,500-man team in the front military district, they seemed so small.

Because there were only twelve of them.

At this time, Huo Shoucheng, the chief instructor of the Dongxiang training camp, brought more than 300 trainees of the training camp here on flying beasts. They parked not far from Xu Dasheng.

After arriving at the destination, all the trainees in the training camp immediately jumped off their summoned beasts and formed a line in the open space below.

After Huo Shoucheng jumped down, he glanced at Xu Dasheng and the dozen or so people beside him. He did not greet Xu Dasheng and the others, but looked at the more than 300 students in front of him.

Huo Shoucheng pointed ahead to them.

"Look ahead, boys. About three kilometers ahead, those people are soldiers from the Second Military District of Shanhe District. They have built the first line of defense in front of us. They will block most of the beasts for us. However, there will still be many beasts that can break through the defense line. At that time, it will be up to us to stop the beasts that break through the defense line."

"I know you are still young, and you are all F-class summoners. Some of you have just signed summoning contracts. Even if you face the weakest F-class beast, you will have a hard time dealing with it."

"But, behind you are ordinary people who are weaker than you. As summoners, we must stand in the front when facing danger! Even if it means death!!"

"My little ones, today, all of us may die. I am sorry for you and for your parents who sent you here. You deserve a brighter future. You may become a powerful C-class summoner, B-class summoner, or even a supreme S-class summoner."

"But today, you may have no future."

"Because behind you are your families. Most of your parents are in Dongxiang, and they are behind you!"

"Without us, they can't survive, and they will all die! Therefore, we must stand here today and stand in front of everyone!"

"Tell me, what should you do?!" "Never give up!!!" "Never give up!!!"

"I will never retreat!!!"

The 372 trainees of the Dongxiang training camp roared in unison.

Most of them are thirteen or fourteen years old, and some have not even reached the voice change period, and even their roars sound so childish.

But at this moment, there was no fear or retreat on their faces. They were ready to die!

Xu Dasheng and a dozen others standing by remained silent as they listened to the children's roar.

Before this, they even wanted to escape and abandon the entire Dongxiang people and run away.

Thinking of this, they felt extremely ashamed.

At this time, Xu Dasheng came in front of everyone and said:

"Brothers, let me say something to you at the end. Before this, as members of the Dongxiang Town Control Office, we have not done anything practical for the people of Dongxiang over the years. We even often use the power in our hands to oppress them."

“I feel really guilty about that.”

Hearing this, Sun Youkun, Liu Quan and others lowered their heads in shame again.

Over the years, they have indeed not done anything useful for the people of Dongxiang. Instead, they have colluded with the Chengtian Gang and oppressed the people of Dongxiang Town from time to time.

Take Liu Quan for example. Over the years, no matter which restaurant he went to in Dongxiang, he never paid for his meals.

"Since we are in this position and receive a salary from the state, we should consider the people of Dongxiang."

"Now, the ferocious beasts are attacking the city. As a summoner, we must stand in front of everyone!"

"To your left are the kids from the Dongxiang training camp. Most of them have just become summoners. They are not afraid of even a group of teenagers. Tell me, should we be afraid?! Should we stand here?!"

"Are we not even as good as a group of teenagers?!"

At this time, Deputy Captain Liu Quan raised his head and said to Xu Dasheng with a determined face: "Captain, we know what to do. As long as we stand here today, as long as we have a breath left, we will not let a ferocious beast step into Dongxiang Town!"

"That's right, we will never let any ferocious beasts set foot in Dongxiang Town!"

"Alright! Today, we will let all the people of Dongxiang see that none of us in the Dongxiang Control Center are cowards!"

In Dongxiang Town, since Liu San issued the call to action, many members of the Chengtian Gang have gathered, numbering several hundred people.

Seeing these gathered Chengtian Gang members, Zhou Chengtian stood in front of everyone. He looked at the members in the gang and said, "Brothers, do you know why I called you here?"

No one answered this question, and no one knew, but they still stood here.

Zhou Chengtian continued, "The red alert means that ferocious beasts are attacking the city. Captain Xu and Captain Sun of the control center have all gone to Zhengdong."

"Just now I saw Instructor Huo from our Dongxiang training camp leading all the members of the training camp to Zhengdong. They are going to stop the ferocious beasts for us!"

“That’s a bunch of kids!”

"Are we going to hide behind a bunch of kids and survive?!"

"The beasts are attacking the city. Even if we want to run, where can we run to? When these beasts come, we will also die! Not only will we die, but the people of Dongxiang and the elders and villagers of Dongxiang will also die!"

"But if we follow Captain Xu and Instructor Huo and stand guard at the front, even if we only gain one minute, even if we only block the enemy for one minute, one more Dongxiang villager can escape."

"We are all Dongxiang people. We were born and raised here. This is our home!"

"In the past two years, we have established the Chengtian Gang and have been collecting protection fees from the folks in Dongxiang. Now that the ferocious beasts are attacking the city, are we going to run ahead of them?!"

"Do we still want these folks to fight for us?!"

"Since we have received their protection fees, we must stand in front of them!"

"Be a man, be a real man, grab your weapons and go to the east street corner of the town to fight for the lives of the folks, the elderly and the children in Dongxiang!"

"Yes!" All members of Chengtian Gang shouted in unison.

“What’s our slogan?!”

"Chengtian Chengtian, your righteousness is as great as the sky! Chengtian steps on the earth, fearless of heaven and earth!"

At this moment, there was no fear in their eyes, and they no longer flinched. They wanted to act like men with dignity!
Before this, they were gangsters and bullies in the eyes of everyone in Dongxiang. They were bastards who bullied others and collected all kinds of protection fees!
But today, they are heroes!
The hero of Dongxiang Town!

Afterwards, under the leadership of Zhou Chengtian, hundreds of members of the Chengtian Gang took machetes, shovels, sticks and all other weapons they could use and headed for the east street intersection.

At this moment, they were also going in the opposite direction of those who were fleeing.

Their faces reveal firmness and determination; they walk ahead without looking back!
