"Heading to Chang'an City?"

The Golden-winged Roc seemed to have anticipated this outcome.

It did not object, lowered its head, and nodded in a human-like manner.

For ordinary people, leaving Qinling Mountain Range from Luoxia Valley and entering the city takes a lot of time.

But it's different — with its incredible speed, it won't take long.

Lu Yuan is well aware of this.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone through so much trouble taming a mount.

It was precisely for times like these that he could quickly reach a location.

Like this beast tide, about to attack a human city, led by powerful exotic beast leaders, it's almost no different than a full army; even if Chang'an City can defend itself, it will come at an enormous cost.

Now that he has the ability to solve this, he won't let it happen.

Not to mention, Zhen Dan Academy has shown goodwill toward him multiple times.

Regardless of their motives.

A bond of friendship exists.

Therefore, Lu Yuan would not choose to stand by and watch from any perspective.

Without saying much, he jumped onto the back of the Golden-winged Roc.

The latter did not hesitate.

With a slight tremor of its wings, it soared upwards, dashing instantly in the direction where the super city Chang'an is located.

At the same time.

Chang'an City.

On the towering and majestic steel city walls,

Numerous figures stood — the defense army units.

They were in military uniform, with black muzzles aimed into the distance.

There were rocket launchers and machine guns.

And enormously-caliber cannons as well.

Below the walls were combat vehicles, tanks, and self-propelled rocket launchers.

Modern land-based thermal weapons were almost all arrayed here, gleaming coldly.

The defense military system of the super city is very comprehensive, along with official backing, they can bring out many things, and this equipment could fully support a war.

In the initial stage of mutation, although the number of human Awakened dramatically increased, there weren't many powerful ones.

Against the thousands of exotic beasts, their advantage lay in modern weaponry.

Besides this,

Countless Awakened gathered both inside and outside the city.

Their number had reached tens of thousands, because everyone knew once the city fell, it would be disastrous.

Not only would they be doomed, more importantly, if they chose to back down now, what about next time?

This is not a contest between humans, but a war between two species.

Before a solution is found,

War is the only option for now.

At this moment.

At the forward command post outside Chang'an City, all leaders and elites were there.

They did not stay at the rear but chose to stand at the forefront.

Elderly experts in white from the Awakening Realm dispatched by higher-ups, Dean Zheng, Commander Xu, North Emperor, Zhu Qingyu were all there, along with some powerful figures from private sectors.

"Report, Commander, detected extremely intense signs of life movement a hundred miles away, with significant fluctuations."

A soldier stepped forward, projecting the situation onto a temporarily set-up screen.

There were numerous red dots on it, detected by special equipment.

The more powerful, the larger the red dot appeared in reality.

Of course,

The equipment was not perfect and couldn't detect everything.

"Can we upload images together?" Commander Xu asked immediately upon hearing this.

"Report, we can, but due to the powerful energy emitted by the exotic beasts, the images are not very clear," the soldier answered, then operated the equipment a bit, and the screen changed to show some images.

Some things were clear, but smaller ones were only shadows.

However, those with large forms of exotic beasts could be roughly identified.

"The leader is White King, the ruler of that area."

"There are others, seemingly all Exotic Beast Kings of the Shackles Realm."

"Exactly, according to the images, there are a total of eight, and their target is precisely Chang'an City."

Everyone stared at the large screen, examining closely, temporarily ignoring some weaker exotic beasts.

They had ample firepower, resolving them was not a big issue, but the powerful Exotic Beast Kings' strength was overwhelming, hard for ordinary heavy thermal weapons to suppress, and were the most challenging aspect of this beast tide to handle.

The Shackles Realm, coupled with the exotic beast's body, the destructive power was just too immense.

Initially, they hoped that even if there were Exotic Beast Kings, if there were only one or two, the pressure wouldn't be too much.

But now, as expected from the last meeting, these entities have directly brought eight.

Suddenly.

Whether it was Dean Zheng, Commander Xu, or others, they all lowered their heads.

Strong figures from some city factions swallowed hard.

If a great war happens, how to solve the Exotic Beast Kings?

Even someone like North Emperor was under significant pressure; despite reaching the Awakening Realm, the gap with Shackles Realm's Exotic Beast Kings was vast.

"Gentlemen, I know it's difficult, but this battle, we have to face; no matter the cost, even if we are wiped out, we cannot choose to retreat," Commander Xu stepped out, his eyes bright.

He is a soldier, in China, what is a soldier's mission?

To ensure the safety of the people as much as possible.

In both the old era

and the new era today.

This will has never changed.

Commander Xu recognized the concerns in everyone's hearts.

And as the leader of this great battle, he had to say something.

Certainly, some things cannot be forced upon people, so he spoke again: "However, if anyone wishes to leave, it is understandable, and I will not stop them, nor say anything."
