Chapter 371: Another War Giant?

Inside the front-line command center of the Star-Forging Town city wall.

Wan Chongshan stood with his hands clasped behind his back, brows furrowed, pacing back and forth in anxiety.

Heavy military boots struck the floor, emitting a series of dull thuds.

And those four guild masters.

At this moment, also appeared extremely tense.

Sitting upright and formal.

After all.

They were about to face one of the true rulers of Dragon Country, one of the Five Elders of the Tianji Bureau, Feng Cangqiong.

For them.

This was a figure who existed only on television.

Not to mention.

That Lin Mo was also about to appear before their eyes.

The current Lin Mo was, throughout the entire Dragon Country professional circle, simply an idol-level figure.

Even they, these old-salt professionals, held him in great respect.

"Commander Wan..."

The Iron Blood Guild Master was somewhat constrained, his voice carrying a hint of unease.

"You say..."

"What is Old Man Feng's temper like?"

"Should we perform a bow later?"

Hearing these words.

Wan Chongshan turned back and glared fiercely at him.

"If his temper is good, then we don't need to bow?"

"That is one of our Dragon Country's rulers; pay attention to your words later, and do not bring shame to our Star-Forging Town!"

"Oh, oh, okay, okay, okay..."

The Iron Blood Guild Master nodded heavily.

Just then.

The command center door was pushed open.

The next moment.

The four guild masters, as if struck by lightning, all sprang up from their chairs in unison.

Wan Chongshan also took a deep breath.

A smile plastered on his face, he hurried forward to greet them.

The adjutant respectfully reported:

"Commander!"

"Old Man Feng, Old Man Mo, Lin Mo, and Yan Lie have all arrived."

Seeing the few people behind the adjutant.

Wan Chongshan hurriedly stepped forward two paces.

"Crack!"

An extremely standard military salute.

"Old Man Feng!"

"Wan Chongshan, Commander of the Star-Forging Town City Defense Army, reporting to you two!"

Feng Cangqiong nodded with a smile and waved his hand.

"Commander Wan, no need for excessive courtesy."

"These are extraordinary times; let us dispense with those formalities."

Hearing Feng Cangqiong's gentle tone.

The stone hanging in Wan Chongshan's heart finally settled.

He lowered his arm, his face still full of smiles.

"Old Man Feng is right."

Afterwards.

Wan Chongshan's gaze turned to Yan Lie and Lin Mo standing in the rear.

He had seen Yan Lie on television before, so he had some impression of him.

"This must be the Green Association Master, Yan Lie?"

Wan Chongshan greeted him with a smile.

"Greetings, Commander Wan."

Yan Lie nodded in response, "I am the former master now; Lin Mo is the current master."

Speaking, Yan Lie pointed to Lin Mo beside him.

At this moment.

Wan Chongshan's gaze finally fell upon Lin Mo.

"Excellent..."

"Truly the number one prodigy of Dragon Country for ten thousand ages."

Wan Chongshan nodded repeatedly.

"Just standing here."

"That bearing is really something else."

"President Lin, I've long admired your name!"

Facing Wan Chongshan's enthusiastic reaction.

Lin Mo nodded slightly and replied:

"Commander Wan, you're too kind."

"Just call me Lin Mo."

Shortly after.

Feng Cangqiong's gaze swept over the four people standing ramrod straight inside the command post.

"Commander Wan."

"Who are these few?"

Hearing Feng-lao's inquiry.

Wan Chongshan immediately caught on.

He quickly stepped aside and began making introductions:

"Reporting to Feng-lao."

"This is Lei Zhen, president of the Iron Blood Guild from Casting Star Town."

Hearing the name.

Lei Zhen shuddered all over. "F-Feng-lao, hello! Elder Mo, hello! President Lin, hello!"

Wan Chongshan continued the introductions.

"This is Shen Hongye, president of the Blazing Fire Guild."

"This is Chu Tiankuo, president of the Star Fall Guild."

"This is Gao Pan, president of the Steel Guild."

Wan Chongshan introduced them one by one.

The four presidents all bowed respectfully in response.

After the introductions were done.

Wan Chongshan squared his chest, a hint of pride in his tone.

"Feng-lao."

"These four presidents, upon learning the beast tide was coming, all rallied the elites of their respective guilds at the first moment and came to provide support."

Hearing these words.

A smile also rose on Feng Cangqiong's face.

He looked at the four guild presidents before him, who still appeared somewhat ill at ease.

He nodded slightly.

"Good."

"Very good."

"That Dragon Nation has the stability it enjoys today."

"That it can stand unshaken amid the demonic beast tides and the covetous gazes of every nation."

"Is precisely because of sons and daughters of Dragon Nation like yourselves—those who, in the face of disaster, do not retreat an inch and dare to draw their swords!"

A note of heartfelt satisfaction colored Feng Cangqiong's tone.

"It is precisely because of your presence."

"It is precisely because all of Dragon Nation is of one heart and one mind."

"That we are able to enjoy the lives we have today."

He gave the four a slight bow of his head.

"This old man here, on behalf of the Celestial Pivot Prefecture, on behalf of the Dragon Nation high command."

"Expresses to you our most sincere gratitude!"

Seeing Feng Cangqiong make this declaration.

The four guild presidents were all startled at once.

Lei Zhen hurriedly declared:

"Feng-lao!"

"This is all just what we ought to do!"

"It's what every single citizen of Dragon Nation ought to do!"

Shen Hongye also nodded vigorously.

"Exactly!"

"When the nation is in peril, every man has his duty!"

Chu Tiankuo and Gao Pan spoke in unison as well.

"For Dragon Nation! Fight to the death, never retreat!"

At this point.

Lei Zhen also said with a smile:

"Besides."

"Now that you, Feng-lao, are here in person to hold the line."

"Our hearts here are so much more at ease!"

"Don't even mention a hundred-thousand beast tide—even a million, we're not afraid!"

He finished speaking.

Lei Zhen's gaze drifted, of its own accord, toward Lin Mo standing beside him.

He could not help sighing in admiration:

"Today I not only got to meet Feng-la, but I also got to see Young Brother Lin Mo with my own eyes—truly, heroes come from the young!"

Hearing Lei Zhen's praise.

Lin Mo gave a faint smile and said nothing more.

This kind of talk.

Honestly, he had heard far too much of it already.

At this moment.

Feng Cangqiong waved a great hand, cutting off the crowd's momentum to keep exchanging pleasantries.

"Enough."

"Save the small talk—after we beat back the beast tide, we can take our time."

Feng Cangqiong's gaze settled once more on Wan Chongshan.

"Commander Wan."

"Give this old man a rundown—what's the situation with the beast tide now?"

Hearing Feng Cangqiong bring up real business.

Wan Chongshan's expression immediately grew solemn.

"Yes! Feng-la!"

"According to the intel sent back by the frontline scouts."

"The field BOSS that refreshed this time is a level-75 field BOSS—the War Giant."

Hearing that name.

Lin Mo's brow lifted slightly.

The War Giant again?

He knew this BOSS all too well.

Back before he had gone to report to Jingda, he had run into this very BOSS on the train.

If he recalled correctly.

This BOSS's attack power was nothing special—only its HP was on the thick side.

What truly made it a headache was its passive aura: War Aura.

As long as any monster stood within the aura's coverage, all its stats skyrocketed by 200%!

And it would fall into an absolute frenzy state, fearless to the death!

One could say.

In beast-tide positional warfare, the thing everyone least wanted to face was the War Giant!
