Getting Stronger By Fighting-Chapter 606 - 604 Night Attack_1

"Based on the habits of the demonic beasts, they don't fight scattered but choose one point as a breakthrough. Hence, we should gather all our troopers here to withstand them."

"Regarding matters on the other defense lines, it's not our concern. We only need to leave some troopers behind and let Zhu Xu and Mu Bing guard them. That will be enough."

"That won't be necessary."

As Bai Yu wiped his long spear, he said serenely, "The other War Gods haven't all died in battle, have they? Aren't there some recuperating in the rear? And those guys all have their trump cards. When things are at their worst, they can still lend a hand."

"So we'll directly inform Xiang Zhanfei and the others. Have Zhu Xu and Mu Bing lead the elite from the other defense lines to rush here, while we continue to harass them according to your intentions. However…"

Bai Yu squinted, continuing, "I have no interest at all in those small fries. If we're going to make a move, let's go big. How about we hunt those Level 1 Demonic Beasts or even more formidable entities?"

Everyone knew that in a war between two sides, the ones who truly dominated the battlefield were those extremely formidable individuals. No matter how numerous those small fries were, they only prolonged the battle somewhat and didn't significantly impact the battlefield. But if a Level 1 Demonic Beast or a Level 2 Beast appeared on the battlefield, it would be as if they had entered an unmanned realm; even our side wouldn't be able to stop them. Therefore, it would be much easier if the Level 1 Demonic Beasts and Level 2 Beasts could be dealt with before the major battle began.

Wang Zhan nodded in agreement. He only had eyes for Level 2 Beasts, specifically the Xuanlong Beast. If he could defeat the Xuanlong Beast, Wang Zhan was confident he could break through to the Martial King intermediate stage. His combat power then would be in a different league from his current strength.

Furthermore, Wang Zhan knew very well that the road ahead was long. He had to constantly quicken his pace and mature rapidly. Otherwise, even if he could dominate the Fifth War Zone, once he left it, he would be nothing but a loser, lacking the ability to contend with the masses.

On the Star War Battlefield, there were countless legends, and they were currently in the lowest plane. Wang Zhan naturally didn't want to stay here forever; he needed to continuously break through his own realm.

"Fine, but this operation requires us to assign some reliable and capable people. Those lacking in strength will not only mess things up but also lose their lives."

Zi Yuan nodded firmly. He glanced at the few people beside him, his gaze falling on Xiang Tian. Before he could speak, Wang Zhan, instantly discerning his intentions, cut him off, "I've already decided. For this operation, it'll be you, me, Bai Yu, and Duan Feng will accompany us. The four of us will be enough."

"Too many people would be inconvenient for movement."

Zi Yuan nodded, and Bai Yu said nothing. Although Duan Feng was the weakest among them, he knew very well that with Wang Zhan's style, Wang Zhan would never stand by and watch him fall into peril. Therefore, being able to follow Wang Zhan was a blessing for him.

He had personally witnessed Wang Zhan's combat power and naturally understood that Xiang Tian's improvement during this period was inextricably linked to Wang Zhan. In other words, whoever could stay by Wang Zhan's side would see their combat power improve rapidly.

Although everyone had agreed, Xiang Tian's expression turned gloomy. He abruptly stood up, blocking Wang Zhan, and said, "My combat power is much more formidable than Duan Feng's. Since there are four spots, I should take his place."

Duan Feng quickly waved his hands and said, "No need, no need. You stay here and oversee the overall situation. And I definitely won't drag everyone down. You can be completely assured of that."

"Just do as I say. Besides, I've spent all these years hiding in the rear of the Fifth War Zone, completely lacking the ability to command troops in battle. You, on the other hand, are different. You've constantly been on the defense lines, experienced the baptism of fresh blood, and you also understand troop deployment. So, you are more suited to stay here."

Seeing Xiang Tian's resolute attitude, Bai Yu was even starting to relent. But after noticing the look in Wang Zhan's eyes, he simply turned his face away, choosing not to get further involved. Zi Yuan did the same.

"Before coming here, Xiang Zhanfei already made it clear to everyone that all matters are to be under my command. Since I'm telling you to stay here, you stay. Otherwise, I'll have you return to the rear of the Fifth Battlefield right now."

"You…"

Xiang Tian was instantly displeased. He clenched his fists and said grimly, "I know what you mean. Before we left, my father already instructed you to take good care of me. So you're worried I'll be killed by the demonic beasts, right? But rest assured, since I've come here, I'm naturally not afraid of death!"

"Besides, once the war starts, can you really protect me constantly? At worst, I'll go fight a Level 1 Demonic Beast or a Level 2 Beast alone. What can you do about it then?"

Xiang Tian clenched his fists tightly. He just wanted to continuously improve his combat power and prove himself. During this time, he had witnessed too many partings through life and death, so he understood one thing very clearly: only by significantly enhancing his own combat power could he be qualified to protect those around him.

But what he didn't understand was, why was he specifically denied this opportunity? Could it be that in everyone's eyes, he was just an immature child, a loser?

"Alright, it's almost dawn. Let's not waste any more time," Bai Yu finally couldn't hold back and spoke up. "Since Xiang Tian wants to go, why don't the five of us just operate together? And don't worry, if any unexpected situation arises, I will definitely help you protect him." After all, he didn't want to continue wasting time here, and he strongly approved of Xiang Tian's stance. A true man should die on the battlefield; how could one cling to life, fear death, and hide in the rear?

Wang Zhan sighed helplessly, then walked to Bai Yu's side, patted his shoulder, and said in a low voice, "Let me tell you, Xiang Tian is the young master now. If anything happens to him, you'll have to explain it to Xiang Zhanfei yourself."

Bai Yu smiled indifferently. After all, this decisive battle was about to begin. He didn't even know if he would make it out of here alive, so why bother considering so much?

「Soon,」

With preparations complete, they wasted no more time. Wang Zhan was the first to grab his Deep Fire Blade and swiftly head out. The others followed one by one. Before leaving, Zi Yuan instructed those remaining behind to defend this place to the death and, no matter what happened, absolutely not to act recklessly.

Watching their retreating figures, a look of dejection appeared on Luo Xue's face. Of course, he also wanted to go with Wang Zhan to the defense line, but he was very aware of his own strength. Compared to Xiang Tian and Duan Feng, he was far inferior. With his level of strength, following Wang Zhan would not only offer no help but would even drag Wang Zhan down.

In the end, Luo Xue could only sigh helplessly. The most urgent task was to improve his own abilities as quickly as possible. Otherwise, he would never keep up with Wang Zhan's pace. Even if Wang Zhan allowed him to stay by his side, he would be nothing more than a burden.

Wang Zhan had silently slipped outside the defense line. After conveniently dispatching two patrolling beasts, Wang Zhan and the others crept close to the outside of a military tent, listening intently to the surrounding sounds.

"I didn't expect this defense line to be so vast. I wonder where the Xuanlong Beast is hiding now," Bai Yu said, squinting.

Upon hearing this, Zi Yuan looked at him in astonishment. "Are you insane? To actually make the Xuanlong Beast our main target for this operation?"

"With the abilities of just a few of us, trying to kill the Xuanlong Beast is no easy feat. Moreover, if we can't kill it instantly, we'll likely be heavily surrounded. Escaping then would be extremely difficult."

Wang Zhan also nodded in agreement. "I, for one, think our current target should be the Lion-body Demon-faced Beast. If we can eliminate it, it would also be a great contribution to the battlefield."

Now that Wang Zhan had reached the Martial King Realm, he naturally didn't take Level 1 Demonic Beasts seriously, but that didn't mean Level 1 Demonic Beasts weren't terrifying. Among those with him, not a single one could contend with a Level 1 Demonic Beast alone; even White Feather couldn't manage it. Of course, if Bai Yu used all his trump cards, he might be able to fight a Level 1 Demonic Beast to a mutual defeat, but the cost would likely be extremely severe.

"The Lion-body Demon-faced Beast?" Bai Yu nodded. Though somewhat dissatisfied, being able to deal with a Lion-body Demon-faced Beast would make this trip worthwhile.

"Alright. Since we've decided against that, let's now find traces of the Lion-body Demon-faced Beast. Everyone split up. Regroup here in ten minutes. Remember, no one acts alone. If you encounter an unforeseen situation, immediately find a way to notify the others and provide mutual support!"

Everyone nodded in agreement. As Xiang Tian was about to turn, Wang Zhan clapped him on the shoulder and said, "Even though we're splitting up, you come with me."

Xiang Tian watched the others' retreating figures, then glared at Wang Zhan, furrowing his brow. "What exactly are you up to? You're not really going to protect me like a child, are you?"

Wang Zhan shrugged helplessly. "You should know, this isn't my intention. I'm merely fulfilling a promise to an old friend."
