Chapter 942: Chapter 942: Border Crisis Chapter 942: Chapter 942: Border Crisis Waves of ferocious beasts, as far as the eye could see, launched a fierce onslaught on the southern defense line of China.

Observed via satellite, these beasts numbered in the millions, stretching nearly a thousand kilometers, and they were fearless in the face of death.

Among them, there were a large number of Level Ten Beast Kings; even with the intervention from those of the Hidden Gate, they could not curb the beasts’ momentum.

“We have already sought help from the Dragon King’s Palace,” he said.

“Humph, if you ask me, we shouldn’t count on them,” someone retorted.

The speaker was Samuel Collins, the commander of the southern defense line, who was only in his thirties. Achieving such a position at his age indicated he was no ordinary man regarding heritage and education.

He had a natural disdain for people like Greg Jensen who, despite having capabilities, did not serve their country.

Furthermore, Jensen had used a nuclear weapon without considering international repercussions, which worsened China’s reputation; Samuel harbored a doubly poor impression of him because of this.

In his eyes, Jensen was a person who lacked understanding of the bigger picture.

Moreover, by allying with forces like the Dragon King’s Palace, Jensen had positioned himself on an equal footing with China, controlling the Eight countries in Southeast.

All of this immensely irked Samuel Collins, and he was even opposed to the idea of seeking help from the Dragon King’s Palace.

“We have plenty of people, even if we have to fight to the last person, we will absolutely eradicate all the ferocious beasts!”

Samuel’s forceful statement only elicited eye rolls from the crowd, and members of the Hidden Gate glared at him furiously.

The military personnel quickly tried to smooth things over, “Sorry, Commander Collins didn’t mean harm; please don’t take it to heart.”

Trey Holmes coldly said, “Careful not to bite your tongue in the wind. Without Mr. Jensen, the place you are standing would have been ruins long ago.”

“You–”
Samuel’s face turned extremely ugly, but he dared not retort to Trey Holmes.

After all, Trey was a person even leaders had to treat with respect; Samuel was somewhat unsure of how to deal with him.

It was then that an urgent call came through the walkie-talkie.

“The ferocious beasts, having received some signal, suddenly began their all-out assault,” came the report.

“What!”

Samuel swiftly turned his head, only to see the landscape teeming with ferocious beasts, among them tens of thousands of Beast Kings.

“This–”
Samuel turned pale with fright. He had assumed the ferocious beasts were merely congregating at the border due to some incident.

Now, it seemed like there was human manipulation involved.

How was this possible?

Who could control the ferocious beasts?

Suddenly a figure flashed before Samuel’s eyes, darkening his expression even further. He turned to Trey Holmes and accused, “This wouldn’t happen to involve that so-called ‘Mr. Jensen’ you mentioned, would it?”

“Impudence!”

Upon hearing this, the people from the Hidden Gate became enraged, and the cultivators, without any restraint, released their aura.

The ordinary people within the room felt as though the air pressure had dropped significantly, struggling to breathe.

Samuel’s face turned ashen white, then from white to blue, and eventually a livid shade resembling that of a liver.

“Master Holmes, please, calm down…”
A nearby leader hurriedly came over to try and calm Trey Holmes, who glared at Samuel with a stern brow and coldly warned, “Speak out of turn again, and I’ll take your tongue.”

The next second, Samuel felt the oppressive aura lighten, and his entire body instantly relaxed, heaving deep breaths.

He looked up at Trey Holmes, his eyes inevitably showing a hint of terror.

It was only then that he truly believed that cultivators did exist in this world!

“Master Holmes, our defense line is in peril, your thoughts…”
“Let’s start by killing a few Beast Kings!”

Having said this, Trey Holmes, accompanied by members of the Hidden Gate, turned around and leapt down, darting toward the Beast Kings within the beast horde.

Watching the departing figures, Samuel breathed a sigh of relief.

The leader frowned at him, “You are the commander, how can you still be so reckless? Mr. Jensen is not someone you can slander at will!”

Samuel still seemed unconvinced, stiffening his neck as he replied, “Was I wrong though? If that guy is as powerful as they say, who else but him could command so many ferocious beasts?”

The leader looked at him helplessly, speaking earnestly, “Even if he could do that, he would choose not to, if anyone wouldn’t do it, he wouldn’t either.”

“Why?”

“Perhaps because he doesn’t care?”

The leader shook his head, “He is the strongest in the world; what is there that he could want and not receive?”

Samuel Collins was clearly skeptical; how could a man a few years his junior be so powerful?

He snorted, “Even if he is strong, can he be stronger than airplanes and cannons?”

Seeing this, the leader laughed casually and shook his head lightly, “Once you see him in action, you will understand.”

Meanwhile, Trey Holmes and others made their move, quickly curbing the ferocious beasts’ assault, allowing the frontline troops a moment to breathe.

But it wasn’t long before another wave of ferocious beasts surged forward.

Watching the endless stream of ferocious beasts and Beast Kings, Trey Holmes and the others couldn’t help but feel exhausted.

Just now, they had barely managed to kill a Beast King by combining their forces, which somewhat slowed the ferocious beasts’ momentum.

Now, as more Beast Kings appeared, they lost their previous sharpness and had to form their formation again, desperately blocking the advancement of the ferocious beasts.

Roar!

Just then, a roar suddenly came from the distance.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Following that, the sound of gunfire erupted.

The soldiers, who were struggling against the ferocious beasts, fell like wheat being harvested, one swath after another.

The crowd looked towards the distance with uncertain dread, only to see several transport ships appear on the coastline.

A large group of Sakura Soldiers descended from the ships and began shooting frantically at the Chinese soldiers.

“It’s Cherrywood’s…”

“What are they doing?”

“Look, what is that–”
While everyone was puzzled, the sea suddenly swelled, and then a snake’s head emerged from the water.

Soon after, the other eight heads followed, breaking the surface.

The terrifying body rose erect, dozens of meters tall, with eyes like lanterns shining with a bloodthirsty red light, appearing utterly horrifying.

Roar!

All eight heads opened their mouths wide, emitting a deafening roar.

The roar seemed to have some kind of magic power, as ordinary soldiers felt dizzy and instinctively covered their ears.

Meanwhile, the ferocious beasts seemed to have received a command, charging madly forward.

“Tss!”

Trey Holmes’s face changed drastically; she gathered her Dantian True Essence, exhaled, and shouted loudly.

The Chinese soldiers trembled all over but came to their senses, quickly raising their guns to meet the ferocious beasts in battle.

“Yamata no Orochi?”

“So Cherrywood has allied with the ferocious beasts!”

Shouts of astonishment rang through the crowd; Samuel Collins and others at the command center were also left dumbfounded by Cherrywood’s character.

Ferocious beasts naturally seek to devour humans, and humans need the flesh of ferocious beasts to strengthen themselves; they are inherent enemies.

Unexpectedly, Cherrywood, these unprincipled lot, had actually allied with ferocious beasts to counterattack mankind.

“Dammit!”

“All of Cherrywood deserves to die!”

“Kill!”

“Kill them together with Cherrywood!”

At this moment, everyone was outrageously furious; old and new hatred was erupting together.

The frontline soldiers saw red; some even bypassed the ferocious beasts, heading straight for Cherrywood’s soldiers.

Simultaneously, the eight heads turned towards Trey Holmes and the others.

Clearly, Trey Holmes’s recent shout had captured the attention of this giant Beast King.
