"The two of you, go deal with the beast swarm. I'll be relocating the specially recruited students to a safe place!"
In the sky, the leading Warlord expert, Commander Zenith, promptly made arrangements.
The other two Warlord experts nodded in understanding. Folding their wings, they swooped straight towards the beast swarm below!
Commander Zenith, on the other hand, flew directly towards the three compartments.
The guards assigned outside the carriages soon noticed Commander Zenith and informed the train conductor.
Upon receiving the news, the Conductor burst out of the fifth car to welcome him.
"Commander Zenith!"
Seeing those black wings in the sky, the Conductor's heart calmed down. Commander Zenith, the strongest Warlord from Sky-Tower Base! An A-level Beast-Gene!
Whew!
A strong gust of wind blew from the sky, and Commander Zenith landed directly on the ground.
"Gather everyone in one minute, I'm going to evacuate you all to a safe place!"
The moment Commander Zenith landed, he issued commands with an irrefutable tone.
One minute later.
Boom!
Commander Zenith grabbed onto the top of Carriage No.5 with both hands, his black wings flapping madly!
Incredibly, the entire Carriage No.5 gradually lifted off the ground!
At this moment, inside Carriage No.5, all the seats had been completely dismantled, and the train conductor, along with a slew of staff and a group of special recruits, were crammed inside.
Staring at the ground that was getting lower and lower, everyone was astounded.
The carriage flew higher and higher, eventually towering over the ground by several meters.
Commander Zenith flapped his wings, flying straight towards the east.
"What a relief, Oliver from the base came to evacuate everyone!"
Below, Commander Miller, who was fighting alongside Ethan, watched as the carriage in the sky flew further and further away, feeling like a weight had been lifted from his heart.
An indescribable sense of fatigue washed over him. Though they had been fighting for less than half an hour, constantly watching over the safety of every soldier on the field was a huge mental drain, especially in such dire straits.
"Sir, are you alright?"
A few warriors saw that something was off with Commander Miller, and hurriedly gathered around him.
"I'm fine." Commander Miller waved his hand.
He was the commander of this team; he absolutely couldn't show weakness in front of his men, as it would severely affect morale.
So, Commander Miller forced himself to stay alert.
He absolutely couldn't allow his subordinates to sense any negative emotions!
"Commander, if you're tired, take a rest for a while."
"Commander, you can go to the rear, we will continue to charge with Brother Ethan."
"Commander, don't force yourself, we still have Brother Ethan!"
Several generals said with a smile, showing no signs of fatigue in their expressions.
Seeing them like this, Commander Miller was momentarily stunned.
Boom!
Just then, a deafening noise came from the front.
All they could see was Ethan, whose skin had turned golden, holding the horn of a War General-level Iron-Armored Rhino, and started to swing it around like a hammer throw in a frenzy!
Bang bang bang bang bang!
Explosions sounded one after another, dozens of Iron-Armored Rhinos flew off in all directions. At the same time, the position where Ethan stood stirred up dust, forming a small tornado.
"Holy cow! This is too intense!"
"Brother Ethan will always be my brother!"
The Warrior at the rear cried out in awe.
At this moment, Commander Miller finally realized that his soldiers had long considered Ethan as their core.
Meanwhile, the two strong fighters who had dived into the battlefield couldn't help but be stunned by the scene.
"Who is that golden figure? Why is he so fierce?"
"Could it be Commander Miller? I heard Commander Miller is quite powerful..."
As Ethan stirred up a whirlwind of dust, miles away, Commander Zenith parked the carriage under a mountain. With his wings retracted, Commander Zenith watched the distance with a serious look on his face.
But, due to the obstruction by several earth mounds, he couldn't make out the situation on the battlefield.
"Thank you, Officer Zenith!"
The train conductor walked out of the carriage, thanking him quickly.
Commander Zenith replied with a stern expression:
"Don't celebrate too soon. The circumstances this time are bizarre; the monster tide might specifically be targeting this group of special recruits."
"Though we've backed off temporarily, there's a chance that the monster tide will surge towards us again!"
"As for me, at most I can only fly another five miles before I won't be able to carry you guys any longer."
Upon hearing Commander Zenith's words, the Conductor's expression changed.
"We... we still have that group of warriors luring the beast tide away. Given time, the beasts should disperse...."
The Conductor said somewhat uncertainly.
Though the monster tide is ferocious, one composed of a single species often doesn't last long.
Over ten thousand Iron-Armored Rhinoceroses that counts as a small-scale monster tide. After at most an hour, the monster tide should end.
If that group of warriors can hold out until then, they should be able to safely retreat back to base.
But if they can't hang on, there's a high chance that the monster tide will catch up and launch another attack!
"Let's put this aside for now. Report on our casualties." Commander Zenith asked.
As he spoke, Commander Zenith didn't stop recovering his depleted energy.
The Conductor quickly explained the situation.
"It's just a pity, that Ethan ran away early. Otherwise, he could've retreated with us." The Conductor sounded regretful.
"Hmph! Those who only know to flee in the face of danger, deserve to die, even if they're ranked S-class!" Commander Zenith said without hesitation.
Inside the carriage, a group of special recruitment students came out.
Upon hearing the conversation between the Conductor and Commander Zenith, many of them sneered at Ethan.
Although they did not participate in the fight, they were still better than Ethan, who was a deserter without even fighting!
"Back when we were at Sterling City Station, I felt this person was carefree and difficult to amount to something, so both my younger brother and I ignored him."
"Now it seems, he indeed is a 'no-good, incapable of standing firm!'"
The short-haired girl spoke indifferently.
"Such a person is destined not to become our classmate!"
