1278 What Did that Dark Apparition Experience in Major Wang Tengâs Hand?
At the main base.
All the generals on Defense Planet No. 29 were gathered in the commanding office.
Red Scorpion and Raging Bearâs commanders were also present.
Both were waiting for the result of the thirteen frontline battle.
The ninth and the seventeenth frontline had been recovered due to their victories. They later sent new commanders to guard the base and resist the dark apparitions.
Only the thirteenth frontline had yet to report their results.
The main base had previously received news that the Tiger Strike Force had finally launched their attack.
Their victory depended on that battle!
Why did they place such a huge emphasis on those three frontlines?
Their geolocations were special. Once captured, the major frontlines in the middle would be isolated, and would instantly collapse if the dark apparitions launched a major invasion.
If that were to happen, the apparitions could then charge right in, straight to the main base.
That was also the reason why the dark apparitions had taken down those two major frontlines first.
Unfortunately, the dark apparitions underestimated humanityâs resolve. The human faction immediately sent their three powerful forces to recapture the three frontlines.
Now, only the thirteen frontline was left.
Undoubtedly, this frontline was important, so everyone had gathered to await the results.
The room was extremely quiet; a tense atmosphere filled up the air.
General Cameron closed his eyes and crossed his arms. He then placed a hand under his chin and remained calm on the surface.
No one knew what he was thinking, or if he was worried about the situation of the contested frontline.
General Cameron was the one who appointed Wang Teng as commander. Hence, the battle wouldnât just affect our hero. It would also affect this great official.
If Wang Teng lost, he would be labeled as someone with bad foresight.
General Qi Yuanju couldnât control himself and asked, âGeneral Qi Yuanju, any news?â
He wasnât rough-looking but he was indeed an impatient fellow.
They had been waiting for three hours but no news was relayed. He couldnât wait any longer.
Furthermore, they had already dragged the battle for a few days. If General Cameron hadnât stopped them, his peer would have personally gone to ask Wang Teng what he was thinking.
âGeneral Qi, you should change that impatient personality of yours,â said General Kimberly with a smile.
âYouâre the only one whoâs not anxious,â General Qi Yuanju replied angrily.
âIâm not, either,â General Ukeri said calmly.
General Qi Yuanju felt the corners of his lips twitching.
Why are you speaking?
Am I talking to you?
Hmph!
He turned and glared at General Ukeri.
The latter shrugged. He wasnât bothered by the angry gaze directed at him.
Come and bite me!
General Cameron opened his eyes gradually and said, âIt should be soon. Theyâre right in the middle of a fight. We canât contact them at the moment. Letâs wait patiently. You should be patient when it comes to young people.â
âI agree with General Cameron. Major Wang Teng is not an unreliable person. I think heâs quite confident of succeeding,â General Kimberly said.
âGeneral Kimberly, are you sure youâre not speaking up for Major Wang Teng because heâs handsome?â General Ukeri teased.
âWell, thatâs a bonus.â General Kimberly coughed.
Both commanders from Red Scorpion and Raging Bear were rendered speechless.
Red Scorpionâs commander was a sharp-looking middle aged fellow. He always wore a smile on his face and was handsome, too. He couldnât help but say, âLooks like everyone has high hopes for Major Wang Teng.â
He paid attention when he scanned everyoneâs faces, so he could tell that everybody was expecting good results, even the restless General Qi Yuanju. The latter was just eager to know the outcome.
âColonel Berkeley, you sound quite curious,â General Ukeri said with a smile.
Berkeley bowed slightly to General Ukeri and smiled. âOf course. After all, all the generals seem to have high hopes for him.â
âI hope he doesnât disappoint us,â said the Raging Bear commander in a low voice, like the beat of a drum. He was a muscular bear race hunk. He sat on a large-sized chair and his upper body stood out, being taller than most of the people present. He would be about three meters tall when standing.
âHahaha, I wonder which force is the most powerful in this mission.â General Qi Yuanju laughed.
âIâve already lost to Haus.â Colonel Berkeley shook his head with a bitter smile.
Given his expression, it was evident that he felt that the Raging Bear Force would win the competition.
However, he didnât think that the new Tiger Strike Forceâs commander would do better than him.
If he lost to Raging Bear, Wang Teng couldnât beat him, either.
Berkeley had willingly admitted defeat when he heard that the Raging Bear had killed eight low-tier devil emperors.
Those were tough creatures to kill. One low-tier devil emperor made a huge difference.
He lost for a good reason.
Every high-ranked apparition was a military contribution on the battlefield. It was something worth boasting.
Haus could brag for a long time since he killed eight low-tier devil emperors.
Haus looked proud.
Just thenâthere was a sudden ring of an incoming call.
âItâs here!â
Everyone became excited; they instantly looked at General Cameron.
Berkeley and Haus were included. They too cared about the result.
Cameron smiled and stretched out his hand. A light screen appeared.
Wang Tengâs image appeared therein.
Behind him, the thirteenth frontline had turned into a pile of debris. Everything was burnt and all the buildings were destroyed. Dark apparition corpses lay strewn on the ground.
All the people present had experienced being on battlefields, yet the tragic aura on the other side still left them gobsmacked.
How was this battle fought?
It looked terrible, as the entire place was destroyed.
Berkeley and Haus turned grim, as they were equally puzzled.
Their battle with the dark apparitions was intense, but it never reached such a stage.
The frontline looked as if hit by a heaven-level heavy rune weapon. Furthermore, the weapon was launched in a moment when the dark apparitions were being overrun. That was the only possible reason for such destruction.
After all, high level weapons couldnât cause such damage if the apparitions were offering resistance.
However, if every battle could be fought with heavy weapons, they wouldnât need formidable martial warriors anymore.
Wang Teng noticed their strange and questioning gazes. He coughed awkwardly and said, âCough. I went a little too hard. Do I need to pay for the losses?â
Silence.
Everyone was speechless.
Was this just a little hard?
Do you have a misunderstanding of what âa littleâ is?
More so, the fellow was worrying about being accountable for the monetary losses. He didnât seem to care about the battle itself. He looked quite composed at the moment.
General Cameron felt the corners of his lips twitching. Only he knew what the young man had done to the thirteenth frontline. Such a level of damage was understandable if he used an array.
However, he was still surprised by what he saw.
Of course, there were pros when using powerful destructive attacks. However, they were necessary to deal with dark apparitions.
âDo I have to pay for this?â Wang Teng asked with a face reflecting guilt after seeing their expressions.
It would be a huge loss for him if he also had to pay for the damages after fighting the war. It would be a thankless task.
Wars werenât easy to handle!
âYou donât have to pay for it. The military wouldnât be stingy enough to ask their own people to pay for damages.â General Cameron felt helpless.
âThatâs good.â Wang Teng heaved a sigh of relief.
No one knew whether to laugh or cry.
This fellowâs mind works in strange ways. Why would he think he needs to pay for the losses?
âWhat about the result?â General Cameron went back to the main topic.
Everyone turned serious and looked at Wang Teng.
âWe didnât disappoint. Our forces managed to annihilate the dark apparitions. None of them escaped.â Wang Teng smiled. âWe also caught a talented vampire apparition. I think youâll like him.â
âAnnihilated!â Everyone was stunned.
Such a word couldnât be said with ease.
It wasnât easy to annihilate an entire army of dark apparitions. Red Scorpion and Raging Bear had only managed to kill a portion. It was almost impossible to stop them from escaping, and they wouldnât give chase, either.
And yet, Wang Teng said that his troop managed to annihilate all the dark apparitions who took over the thirteenth frontline.
No one could believe it.
âAre you sure?â General Cameron asked in a low voice. He widened his eyes a bit.
âYou can send someone to check,â Wang Teng replied.
The General believed him. He shouted, feeling overjoyed, âGood!â Anyone could see how happy he was.
âGood riddance!â
âMajor Wang Teng, good job!â
âGood, youâre indeed young and promising.
âŠ
Qi Yuanju and the other generals felt elated. They were full of praise for Wang Teng.
âYouâre being too kind. This is what I should do,â Wang Teng waved his hands and replied humbly. However, he was obviously enjoying the compliments.
The commanders from Red Scorpion and Raging Bear looked at each other, feeling abandoned.
The younger generations would surpass the older generation, leaving no paths for the latter.
They belonged to the poor, older generation.
âOh right, did you say you caught a talented vampire apparition? Was he the one who forced General Lu Gaoge to retreat?â General Cameron asked.
âYes, itâs this fellow.â Wang Teng pulled Tourbe into view.
Silence.
Everyone felt their lips tremble when they saw Tourbe, who was tied up like a dumpling.
What did this dark apparition experience in Major Wang Tengâs hands?
