Global Catastrophe: I Became the World Tree-Chapter 243 - 179: Rescue Everywhere, Surge in Faith_2

For Third Order Mutated Creatures, their top speed can even reach 500 kilometers per hour, allowing them to arrive in Yonghe City in less than ten minutes.

However, after some thought, Ye Feng did not dispatch a few Third Order Mutated Animals immediately. After all, those ten minutes were not crucial, and if they couldn’t hold out for even that short period, there would be no point in defending the city.

Compared to this, he cared more about how to better demonstrate the strength of Dragon Hall.

He was willing to defend the city, and while money was one aspect, what Ye Feng truly valued was the Power of Faith.

After the incident involving the King Cobra’s appearance, he had deeply realized the importance of a grand display.

One must display sufficient strength to inspire awe and faith in others.

Besides, the current situation in Yonghe City was already hanging by a thread. Once he appeared as a savior, he felt the Power of Faith would definitely surge rapidly.

Twenty minutes flew by, and soon the bird flock arrived over Yonghe City.

It was only then that Ye Feng got a clear view of the situation below.

While a wall had been built around Yonghe City, it would be more appropriate to call it a fence, as it was only about two meters high and 2.5 meters wide.

After all, not every city could mine without any concerns like Yang City.

Such a low wall obviously could not stop the bug swarm.

Therefore, the military in Yonghe City had to seek other methods, and the one they eventually came up with was to dig trenches.

However, compared to conventional trenches, the ones they dug were more like connected passageways.

Between each trench, there were also plenty of minefields and obstacle zones.

These trenches spread out nearly one kilometer from the city wall, each one acting as a new line of defense.

The idea in Yonghe City seemed to be to trade space for time, to hold out as long as possible by maximizing the potential of resistance.

But the eventual outcome was clearly not ideal. In just one day, they had already been pushed up against the city wall.

In essence, this was their last line of defense, with nowhere left to retreat.

Witnessing this scene, Ye Feng, controlling the Mutated Eagle, let out a piercing eagle cry.

This eagle cry, with its penetrating force, was heard by many soldiers and officers down below.

When they looked up and saw the immense flock of birds approaching, they were first surprised, then excitement and cheers erupted.

After reaching an agreement for cooperation, Li Yanlin immediately spread the news back to boost morale.

Thus, the soldiers and officers here had been eagerly awaiting.

Now that they saw the reinforcements had finally arrived, how could they not be thrilled?

Moreover, although the bird flock numbered only 200, each one had a wingspan of at least six or seven meters, resulting in a massive size.

This made the entire flock appear extraordinarily spectacular, comparable to the scenes of thousands of birds flying together before the Spiritual Energy Resurgence.

Following the cry of the Mutated Eagle, the flock instantly split into four, flying toward the east, south, west, and north sides of the city walls.

Compared to the mainly north-facing defense in Yang City, there was no such distinction in Yonghe City.

Almost the same number of Mutated insects were attacking from all four directions, east, south, west, and north.

Of course, the range of Yonghe City was far smaller than Yang City’s, so each side of the city wall could not compare in length to those in Yang City.

Under Ye Feng’s command, every Mutated Bat or Mutated Black Crow accurately landed in the most intense parts of the battle.

Moreover, upon landing, they prioritized taking care of the Mutated insects near the machine gunners.

Only by ensuring continuous heavy machine gun fire could they suppress the assault of the Mutated Bug Swarm to the fullest extent.

In an instant, the situation significantly improved, and many faltering spots stabilized.

This sight immediately invigorated the spirits of many officers, who silently marveled at the legendary might of Dragon Hall.

This intervention alone had stabilized the situation, showcasing real, tangible competence.

And everyone soon realized that they had still underestimated the power of the Dragon Hall.

Because it was only after the Mutated Eagle, Mutated Black Crow, Mutated Bat, and two Mutated Sparrows began circling the city, releasing their own oppressive aura, that they truly witnessed the Dragon Hall’s dominant force on the battlefield.

Wherever the Third Order Mutated Animals went, the Mutated Insects shivered under the pressure of their presence, not daring to continue their assault.

Having had the experience with Yang City, Ye Feng had gained even more insight into this area.

Under his control, these five Mutated Bird Species were not flying randomly; they prioritized areas in urgent need of assistance.

If necessary, they would also linger in the vicinity temporarily until the soldiers on that section of the defense line regained the upper hand before they left.

It could be said that the five Third Order Mutated Animals were no less effective than the two hundred Second Order Mutated Animals.

As for the Mutated Parrot, Ye Feng did not assign it a task right away; upon arrival, it immediately started locating its target.

It quickly locked onto a frontline journalist, and Ye Feng, without hesitation, directed the Mutated Parrot to descend.

Confronted with the giant bird descending from the sky, even the male journalist jumped in fright.

Especially since the Mutated Parrot, with its wings drawn in, stood almost 6 meters tall, bringing an immense sense of oppression to everyone on the scene.

Ye Feng didn’t pay attention to the shivering journalist who dared not approach; he simply spoke directly to the nearby camera.

"Hello, residents of Yonghe City, I am a representative of the Dragon Hall, and you can address me as the Parrot Messenger, here to assist in your defense," he said.

"You can rest assured, as long as Dragon Hall is here, Yonghe City shall not fall. The situation on the battlefield will soon change, and you can look forward to it," after saying this, the Mutated Parrot took flight again, leaving only its silhouette to the crowd.

At that moment, Ye Feng’s lips curled slightly, for he could sense that the Power of Faith began converging rapidly toward the Mutated Parrot. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

And the rate of convergence was accelerating; in a short while, it reached the extent of 10,000 points of the Power of Faith per minute.

This rate even took Ye Feng by surprise.

Keep in mind that Yonghe City has a permanent population of only 800,000, compared to Yang City which has already exceeded 7 million people; that’s 8.75 times less in population.

But even under these circumstances, to contribute 10,000 points of Power of Faith per minute, one can imagine how pious these residents now are towards the Dragon Hall.

Of course, this was also related to the experiences of the residents of Yonghe City.

The situation in Yang City had been smooth until the arrival of the Locust Army, which took things out of control, so the panic among the residents there was brief.

But Yonghe City was different; the situation here had been deteriorating continuously, and the residents had been living in fear all day long.

It’s not hard to imagine how exhilarated they felt upon seeing a glimmer of hope.

No doubt, many people’s prayers to the heavens had been directly transferred to prayers for the Dragon Hall, leading to such a substantial convergence of the Power of Faith onto the Mutated Parrot.

The course of the battle evolved just as the Mutated Parrot had stated, with swift changes on the horizon.

The precarious defense lines were quickly stabilized.

And this was merely the achievement of the aerial units.

Another half hour passed, and when the ground forces also arrived, they launched a counterattack against the Mutated Bug Swarm.

Especially with the enormous team consisting of Mutated African Elephants, Mutated White Rhinos, Mutated Hippos, and Mutated Buffalo, they became a decisive force.

Wherever they went, large swaths of the Mutated Bug Swarm were trampled to death.

The defenses of Yonghe City became impregnable.

The Animal Army of the Dragon Hall had all arrived roughly around 5 PM.

The battle lasted until the following morning at 7 AM, a full 14 hours.

And the number of the Bug Army, which had been more than 80 million upon their arrival, was cut down to just over 10 million. At this point, the Mutated Bug Swarm finally dared not continue their assault and began to flee.

With this battle concluded, Ye Feng’s account was credited with an additional 2.325 billion Huaxia Currency.

Of course, apart from the money, what delighted him even more was the soaring speed of the Power of Faith.
