Chapter 495: All Evacuate! One Man Stands Guard in an Empty City!

Su Yang's other summoned beasts are not well suited to lightning attributes.

Hellblood Vine Flower needs to frequently dive underground, the Seven-Colored Illusionary Butterfly is somewhat fragile, and the Void Wandering Spirit has not yet mastered its space-based skills—Earthquake Bear's attribute is already strong enough.

Moreover, if you want to maximize the use of lightning-based attacks, the Storm Eagle is still the best choice.

Lightning-based skills possess extremely strong long-range attack capabilities.

Fortunately, the Storm Eagle's aerial advantage and wide field of vision can fully unleash the potential of lightning-based attack skills!

"Give it to the Storm Eagle!"

The moment Su Yang finished speaking, a crackling explosion erupted from the Storm Eagle's body.

Thin blue lightning bolts slithered across the Storm Eagle's massive frame.

At first, the blue lightning was as fine as hairs; if not for their blue glow, they'd be nearly impossible to distinguish.

Then, the blue lightning gradually thickened, growing larger, and the explosive sounds intensified!

In the sky, dark clouds suddenly gathered, thunder rolling endlessly!

"Boom—!"

A bolt of lightning struck the Storm Eagle directly, surrounding it entirely with thunderous electricity!

"Boom—boom—!"

"Boom—boom—!"

Ten more consecutive bolts of lightning struck the Storm Eagle!

"Screech!"

The Storm Eagle let out a loud cry.

It raised its head, staring at the clouds above, flapped its wings, and plunged straight into the churning, thunder-laden clouds, engulfed in lightning.

Su Yang stood on the ground, gazing upward, watching the Storm Eagle's fleeting figure appear intermittently in the sky, without much worry.

The Storm Eagle was not injured!

It was enjoying itself!

It was bathing in thunder!

The Storm Eagle flapped its wings; after a gust of wind, the thunderclouds dispersed, and the sky cleared.

Under the cobalt-blue sky, Su Yang saw the Storm Eagle soaring through the heavens.

"Ding~ Your summoned beast has successfully fused with the elemental force—Lightning!"

"Ding~ Your summoned beast, the Storm Eagle, has learned the lightning attribute skill—Lightning Strike!"

"Ding~ Your summoned beast, the Storm Eagle, has learned the lightning attribute skill—Thunder Flash!"

Lightning Strike: This summoned beast concentrates thunderous power to form a powerful lightning strike against enemies!

Thunder Flash: This summoned beast gains a temporary boost of thunderous power, unleashing speed beyond its limits!

Seeing these two skills, Su Yang couldn't help but smile.

One is an offensive skill, the other a speed-enhancing skill—both excellent.

Especially Thunder Flash!

Combined with the Storm Eagle's already absurd speed, who could possibly catch it now?

Add to that the paralysis effect inherent to lightning itself, and the Storm Eagle gains tremendous enhancement in both close-range and long-range combat!

Returning to the battlefield of bloodvine sea, Su Yang ordered the Storm Eagle to patrol again.

For reconnaissance, he still trusted the Storm Eagle most.

A blood-red wicker chair appeared before Su Yang; he sat down on it directly.

Liu Mengyun stood beside Su Yang, not asking what he had just done.

She knew Su Yang had many secrets.

But she was a smart woman, and knew to restrain her curiosity.

"Deputy Commander Liu, notify Mayor Yu to organize the evacuation of Yangcheng's population within today!"

"Major, have you finally made up your mind?"

"Mm."

Yangcheng cannot be held.

Even if Su Yang forcibly held it, he could not guard Yangcheng forever.

As for reinforcements from the Southwest Military Department, they are not expected in the short term.

"Then what about you, Major?"

"I'll stay here to defend the city!"

"Huh…?" Liu Mengyun stared at her young superior, confused. "Major, didn't you just say you were abandoning Yangcheng?"

"Yes."

"Then why are you still defending the city?"

"There are many reasons. Just follow my orders and evacuate with everyone."

Why was Su Yang still defending the city?

Actually, there were many reasons.

First, he still had system tasks to complete.

Unless absolutely forced, he did not want to abandon any task.

Since obtaining the system, Su Yang had never abandoned a single task!

Second, he needed to hold the rear.

The civilians were evacuating too slowly—if Su Yang didn't hold the line, they would likely be caught by the ferocious beasts.

It would be better to use Yangcheng to draw the attention of the ferocious beasts, helping civilians evacuate as much as possible and buying time.

In the end, he wanted to kill as many ferocious beasts as possible!

After reaching Platinum rank, Su Yang's pet beasts' upgrade speed began to slow down drastically.

If Su Yang wanted to help his pet beasts level up, he would inevitably have to kill large numbers of ferocious beasts!

But wild ferocious beasts were scattered across every corner of the mountains and forests; Platinum and Starlight rank ferocious beasts had vast territories, and for Su Yang to search for them would require too much time and energy.

The outbreak of beast disasters, with large numbers of Platinum and Starlight rank ferocious beasts, was precisely the best time for Su Yang to strengthen his power!

The Beast King had spent vast amounts of time and energy organizing Platinum and Starlight rank ferocious beasts to deliver experience to him—how could he refuse such thoughtful generosity?

Moreover, Su Yang also wanted to make that Beast King suffer.

Su Yang had already figured it out: that Beast King was very likely expanding its territory, aggressively attacking in two directions at once.

One direction was the southwestern region of their Huaxia Federation.

The other direction was neighboring India.

That ferocious beast could command only spider-type ferocious beasts.

Su Yang would kill as many of that Spider Beast King's subordinates as possible!

Make that Beast King feel that the direction Su Yang was in was a tough nut to crack, causing its subordinates to suffer heavy losses!

In one direction, several cities fell in succession, territory expanded.

In the other direction, not a single city was taken, and the entire force was annihilated.

Weighing the pros and cons, even if that Beast King had never read a book, it should still be able to make the right choice.

Su Yang also hoped it would make a wise choice!

The relocation had already been arranged by Yu Hao last night.
