"Chief, this is no child’s play. If Breeder Su wishes, I can have my Third Army specifically assign a battalion..."
Before he could finish, Leng Ye directly raised a hand to cut him off. Ignoring his subordinate, he looked at Su Ping instead. "Major Su, do you have the confidence to complete the mission?"
"I do!"
"Very good!" Leng Ye nodded, then added, "Set out immediately. You must reach the very frontline of the Baimu River battlefield within thirty minutes! Captain Su and I will be watching your performance via satellite radar from the command center. Do not let us down!"
Pausing, Leng Ye seemed to recall something. "Oh, right. The person you brought with you may also go with you!"
Obviously, Leng Ye wasn’t referring to Long’er.
However, everyone present heaved a sigh of relief. That was more like it. How could this VIP go to the battlefield without any protection? Now it seemed he could at least bring a bodyguard!
Yet, when they saw the person who followed Su Ping onto the transport specifically heading to the Baimu River frontline, everyone’s mindset crumbled a little.
"Chief, the one accompanying Breeder Su is just this guy? He seems to be barely at the Monarch Level, right?" someone standing nearby spoke up.
Leng Ye nodded. "He is a veteran Su Ping brought along."
"Chief, we can’t be this reckless. The battlefield is fraught with danger. If we aren’t careful and something happens to Breeder Su, it will be a massive loss for the Dragon Nation!" someone off to the side said, so anxious they nearly jumped to their feet.
Leng Ye shot him a fierce glare. "The seed of the Su Family, the descendant of the Wolf pack—how could he not go to the battlefield? His father isn’t even worried, so what the hell are you panicking about? If anything really goes wrong, I’ll shoulder the blame."
At these words, the entire command center fell dead silent. Most of the people, however, did not relax; instead, they grew even more tense.
Meanwhile, several gazes turned toward a man in his fifties, filled with a hint of pity.
"The head of the Baimu River and its surrounding area seem to be under the jurisdiction of the Sixth Army, right? That’s Old Yan’s designated region," someone murmured.
Instantly, the man referred to as Old Yan grimaced bitterly and immediately picked up his command telephone. However, Leng Ye snatched it right out of his hand.
"Yan He, this is the battlefield! If the strategic policy and defensive layout are altered because of the addition of a single person, you should know how severe the consequences could be! I shouldn’t need to teach you this!"
Old Yan looked helpless. "Chief, Breeder Su is a rare talent in Breeding. He is also a powerful Beastmaster of Advanced Level combat strength in the making. Why take such a risk on the battlefield? It’s completely unnecessary!"
Leng Ye grew somewhat impatient. "Damn it, is it my word that counts here, or yours? You don’t know shit!
"Just stay here and watch obediently. If any unexpected accident occurs in an area your Legion is responsible for, resulting in a breach—let alone allowing the enemy into the Beiyuan Province habitats, even if they simply break through the Legion’s defensive encirclement—a major demerit will be unavoidable!"
With those words, everyone quieted down. However, they all knew that the incredibly precious satellite radar was specifically locked onto that single figure, its feed drawing nearly everyone’s attention.
Meanwhile, Su Ping, riding in the specially prepared transport vehicle, arrived at the battlefield at maximum speed.
The frontline command center was already situated at the heart of the front. In war, speed was paramount. Setting aside the Legions already stationed along the Great Wall-like defensive line formed by Beastmasters, this type of reinforcement transport could arrive in less than twenty minutes even if the destination was over a hundred miles away.
By the time he stepped out of the final transport vehicle, Su Ping’s previous attire had completely changed. Clad in full military gear, one wouldn’t even recognize him as the teenage genius who had made a name for himself at the Youth Beastmaster Competition without looking closely. He simply looked like an ordinary soldier of the Beastmaster Legion.
Facing the setting sun of Beiyuan Province—which sank below the horizon far earlier than in Jianghai—the entire land was plunged into a swath of Darkness.
In the distance, the booming artillery fire from the Mechanical Weapons seemed to make the very earth tremble.
The remote, smart-controlled transport vehicle had stopped. Su Ping and Lu Heng exchanged a glance before leaping down from it. Under the Darkness of the horizon and the faint moonlight emerging in the sky above, Su Ping finally saw clearly what kind of battlefield lay beneath his feet in the distance.
The howling, freezing wind cut like a knife, blowing over from the surface of the massive river that glinted with white frost. Upon it lingered the aura of Death of countless souls.
He was currently standing at the edge of a highway on a small hill. As the distant artillery fire gradually subsided, Su Ping finally saw that on the seemingly endless great river just a few kilometers away, densely packed, pitch-black figures were surging irregularly toward their side.
At the same time, in the distance, Pet Beasts had long been summoned one after another. Standing beside them were just as many Beastmasters, all poised and ready for battle.
At this moment, neither the dark night nor the freezing wind could suppress Su Ping’s boiling blood. This was what a true battlefield for Beastmasters should be like, and it was also the battlefield where he would display his true strength!
Ever since he inherited the Heart of Myriad Spirits, ever since his Awakening of the Myriad Spirit Beast Atlas, and ever since he first bred the Wanmu Wolf and began Breeding all his Forest Wolves, Su Ping had been eagerly anticipating the arrival of this day!
The effect and Ability of the individual Catalog within the Myriad Spirit Beast Atlas had almost been forgotten by Su Ping. After the Catalog was upgraded, the shared vision it enabled became the most suitable method and tactic for group combat. However, because there had never been a particularly good opportunity, he had never truly utilized it on the battlefield. He had only used it occasionally when he had free time to train his Forest Wolf pack with Lu Heng.
But today, the opportunity had finally arrived!
Without a second thought, he leaped off the edge of the hill’s highway, dropping down from a height of over thirty meters.
The next moment, accompanied by flashing Spirit Fluctuations and ripples, figures began to appear around Su Ping.
Simultaneously, all the Legion commanders in the command room locked their eyes on this scene. They wanted to see what kind of changes the Genius Breeder’s Pet Beasts had undergone over the past few months of Time.
However, the sight that greeted their eyes was truly beyond anyone’s expectations.
The Paperman that many people had seen and remembered, as well as that incredibly bizarre Green Demon Wolf, did not appear first.
What appeared before their eyes were wolves!
So many wolves!
All kinds of different wolves!
Beneath the moonlight, one wolf after another materialized in front of everyone.
There were Forest Wolves entirely pale-cyan in color, as massive as adult water buffalos.
There were Thorn Wolves covered in what looked like fine steel armor, bristling with barbs that prevented even the surrounding Wolf pack from daring to approach.
There were Elf Wolves, completely ethereal, looking as if they were about to fly into the sky under the moonlight, radiating a vibrant aura of Life within this frigid Land of Death.
And then, there were the most eye-catching ones of all—a full ten of them.
Wanmu Wolves! They bore branch-like antlers on their heads, and their bodies seemed to be draped in a thick layer of fur woven from leaves and timber!
These four types of wolves combined formed a Wolf pack of a full hundred!
Aside from the ten Wanmu Wolves, which were roughly at the Monarch Level, the rest were all at Commandant High Rank to Commander Peak. At first glance, it looked like a special Legion composed purely of a Wolf pack! They stood in neat formations beneath the moonlight, ready to face the distant enemies.
Su Ping leaped to the very front. At the same time, his several core Pet Beasts appeared alongside him.
Under the night sky, a solitary and proud flying black crow landed on his shoulder.
A Demon Wolf, flickering with green demonic Fire, stood indistinctly, deeply hidden within the shadows.
The Paperman, grasping its sword hilt, followed close by his side, not straying a single step.
And the last one, Old Sha, resembling a Wood Kylin, served as his mount, standing proud like the Wolf King leading the Wolf pack.
Amidst the moonlight, the figures advanced.
Right at this moment, Lu Heng finally rushed to Su Ping’s side. "Breeder Su, what is our mission this time?"
Su Ping glanced at the night sky on the horizon and the massive army of the Ghost Tide under the veil of darkness. As if answering Lu Heng’s question, or perhaps issuing a command to his mount and the Wolf pack behind him, he said, "Kill! Leave none alive!"
"AWOOO!"
With the bright moon hanging high in the sky, the forest Wolf pack’s hunt commenced under the cover of night.
