Chapter 664

After all, although the number of sea beasts is terrifyingly vast, once they come ashore, their strength is greatly diminished.

Killing them is considerably easier than killing terrestrial ferocious beasts…

Added to that, with other terrestrial ferocious beasts hunting them, whenever a sea beast invasion begins, they surge forward fiercely—but if the battle drags on, they are gradually worn down.

Of course, the prerequisite is to ensure that cities vulnerable to sea beast surges are properly prepared in advance!

"Even without large-scale sea beasts coming ashore, Mount Dajiao is occasionally attacked by sea beasts—it's a very dangerous place. General Xu sending you there may well be a punishment, or perhaps a test of your mettle."

Su Yang asked quietly: "Are there many sea beasts?"

"Of course there are—occasionally even King-level sea beasts appear, extremely dangerous!"

"That's not bad at all!"

Hearing Su Yang's words, Ma Wenhong couldn't help but rub his head.

He suspected that Su Yang hadn't understood a word he'd just said.

"But it seems we're leaving the southwest!"

"Although we'd very much like to keep you, General Xu's orders leave General Qin with no room to object—you must go!" Ma Wenhong patted Su Yang's shoulder, "For young Beast Tamer, this is normal—especially for geniuses favored by the General Headquarters, nearly all of them went through this—I did too, back then!"

Su Yang looked up at Ma Wenhong.

Ma Wenhong frowned: "What, you don't believe me? I was a genius back then too!"

"I believe you!"

Every King-level Beast Tamer is a pillar of the Chinese Federation.

They were all super-geniuses from their respective regions back then!

The young Ma Wenhong might well have been a genius like Liu Mengyun!

"I spent ten years in the north myself—I fought those ice witches!"

Ice Witches have King-level growth potential, are vicious and cruel, and possess extreme aggression.

In the northern regions of the Chinese Federation, Ice Witches are practically dominant.

Liu Mengyun's Ice Moon Sprite also comes from the northern Federation—extremely rare in number.

Su Yang had also heard that conditions in the Bear Nation weren't good.

Before the Great Catastrophe, their country was sparsely populated, with harsh climate and severe food shortages.

"Deputy Commander Ma, what should I do about my mother and younger sister?"

"Should I leave them in Changwu City for now?"

"Then I'm counting on you, Deputy Commander Ma!"

"No trouble at all, no trouble at all!" Ma Wenhong smiled, "Once you've stabilized yourself in the southeast, we'll figure out the rest later."

"Mm!"

Su Yang turned back and looked at Liu Mengyun: "Deputy Officer Liu, what are you planning to do? Are you coming with me?"

"Wherever the Major goes, I go."

Liu Mengyun said simply and clearly.

"Good!"

If Liu Mengyun was willing to come with him, things couldn't be better.

If Liu Mengyun refused to go, Su Yang wouldn't force her… but he'd use force if he had to!

Sure, a forced melon isn't sweet—but if you get to eat it, it's still not bad!

Early the next morning, Su Yang was taken by personnel from the General Headquarters to meet General Shi.

A Major General of the Chinese Federation, a King-level Beast Tamer.

General Shi Fanmeng, the only one in the military with a King-level healing-type pet beast.

Su Yang had long heard of her.

The escort was a middle-aged female soldier named Cai Ming.

Cai Ming held the rank of Major, a Star Radiance-level Beast Tamer.

She had an ordinary face, short hair, and a sharp, martial bearing, radiating a strong feminine resolve.

Cai Ming glanced at Su Yang's bandages and asked quietly: "Major Su, your injuries must have been severe?"

"Why do you say that?"

"Only extremely grave injuries prompt General Shi to intervene—you're the first Star Radiance-level Beast Tamer she's ever treated!"

"That's quite an honor indeed!"

"I know about that battle," Cai Ming chuckled. "To take down a full quarter of the city guard's elite with only Star Radiance-level power—Major Su, your combat prowess is unprecedented. The entire Shengjing City is buzzing with tales of you."

"Is it really that impressive?"
