Chapter 1866: End of the Abyssal Tide (Please Subscribe)_1
Having said that, the soldier left to convey the orders.
Jiang Qiyue's piercing gaze then turned to Xu Sheng, "Since you think it's not bad, Xu Sheng, guess whether it can withstand the Abyssal Tide?"
Xu Sheng did not give a definite answer, casually saying, "Probably! I've just joined the Blood God Army, and I'm not very clear about it."
In response to this answer, Jiang Qiyue didn't show disappointment but shrugged her shoulders and said, "Actually, it's ok even if it can't withstand the Abyssal Tide, because Shields have been set up in the Abyssal Passage. It would be impossible for creatures from a B-level Abyssal Passage to break through in a short time!"
This was the confidence that allowed Long Tianwu and another Major General to entrust this task to her and Long Yuxue!
Taking a deep breath, Jiang Qiyue spoke with a serious face, "Let's go, we should also head to the front line to command!"
As commanders, they naturally had to lead by example; otherwise, why should the soldiers risk their lives to complete the mission!
…
On the other hand, Tang Wulin, who was gripping his Golden Longspear tightly, kept panting heavily, "Huff… huff… Are there so many abyssal creatures? It's been so long, and their numbers still don't seem to be decreasing!"
His Battle Armor and Golden Spear were stained with the purple-black blood, which reeked of a strong foul stench...
It was clear that he had already slain at least dozens of abyssal creatures!
The other soldiers, however, were in a much worse state, lacking the strength to continue fighting...
Left with no choice, one of them had to speak up, "Ensign, we've achieved our mission; we can withdraw now!"
"That's right, Ensign, there are too many abyssal creatures; we can't clear them out in a short time! Let's retreat!"
"The primary purpose of the Special Duty Department is reconnaissance. I believe the Close Combat Battalion's warriors should be arriving soon. If we stay any longer, everyone will be in danger!"
Hearing this, Tang Wulin, with his pale blue eyes, glanced at them and ordered, "All soldiers, retreat immediately!"
Upon hearing this, the nearest warrior frowned and asked, "Ensign, what about you?"
Tang Wulin then lifted his Golden Longspear again and said coldly, "I can continue to fight!"
With the special ability of the Golden Dragon Spear, he was able to absorb the energy of those dead abyssal creatures to replenish himself...
So although he seemed tired, he hadn't expended much physical strength!
Having said that, he charged once more into the massive swarm of abyssal creatures coming towards him, engaging in ruthless combat...
Seeing this, the other soldiers, gritting their teeth said, "Everyone withdraw quickly!"
They wanted to help the former, but were too exhausted to do any more; lasting until now was their limit!
When they left, only Tang Wulin and a few soldiers who were unwilling to leave remained in the Abyssal Passage, resisting...
When the reinforcements from the Close Combat Battalion arrived, they were all dumbfounded...
"Hiss... Are all these guys from the Special Duty Department crazy? Attempting to block the Abyssal Tide with just a handful of people!"
"Stop talking nonsense, hurry and support them! They must have been fighting for several hours by now!"
"Charge! Slaughter these mindless beasts!"
Soon, with the Close Combat Battalion's soldiers equipped with sophisticated Mecha and weapons, they quickly took over the entirety of the battlefield...
One of the Close Combat Battalion soldiers approached Tang Wulin and, supporting him, said, "Ensign! Are you alright?"
Tang Wulin shook his head, his eyes filled with bloodshot, "I'm fine... cough cough... "
The soldier comforted him, "You should still go rest first. We've got this!"
Tang Wulin waved his hand, "No... I still..."
As he spoke, the Golden Dragon Spear fell to the ground, and he felt dizzy, losing consciousness...
...
Jiang Qiyue, who arrived shortly after, looked at Tang Wulin on the stretcher, exhausted to the point of fainting, and smacked her lips, "This guy, just how many abyssal creatures did he kill to be so tired that he passed out!"
Especially that pungent stench wafting over, it gave her an extremely unpleasant feeling!
Xu Sheng merely smiled, "This child has somewhat peculiar bloodlines. After slaying abyssal creatures, he can absorb their power to recover himself!"
With just one glance, he could tell that Tang Wulin had simply fainted from exhaustion and had not suffered any fatal injuries.
Jiang Qiyue pondered and said, "So that's how it is. No wonder he could hold out for so long! However, the soldiers from the Close Combat Battalion have already arrived, so he can rest in peace!"
After waving her hand, Tang Wulin was carried away by two soldiers…
Afterwards, they proceeded to the Abyssal Passage where Long Yuxue was located.
Looking at Long Yuxue, who was commanding earnestly ahead, Jiang Qiyue immediately walked up to her side, examined her carefully, and then said, "Yuxue, are you alright?"
Long Yuxue noticed her as well and shook her head, "July, I'm fine!"
Her expression was somewhat fatigued, but she did not slacken in the slightest!
Jiang Qiyue breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good that you're fine. Don't be like that Tang Wulin, who actually fainted from exhaustion. He's just an officer from the special forces!"
Long Yuxue raised her eyebrows slightly, "Tang Wulin fainted from exhaustion? And... what do you mean by 'just an officer from the special forces'?"
Somehow, she felt offended!
Realizing her blunder, Jiang Qiyue coughed, "Cough, cough, Yuxue, I didn't mean to target the special forces; I was just saying that the officers and soldiers there are not very skilled in intense combat!"
Long Yuxue's countenance then eased somewhat, "That's better. I'll leave you in charge here, I'm going to check on how Gu Yue is doing!"
She had a lot of confidence in the other's abilities!
Jiang Qiyue made a gesture and confidently said, "No problem!"
…
The entire Abyssal Tide lasted for three days and nights before it finally ended, with no significant casualties occurring during this period.
Inside the command center!
Long Tianwu's gaze was fixed on the officers below, and he solemnly said, "Major Long Yuxue, Major Jiang Qiyue, you have done an excellent job with the Abyssal Tide this time!"
"You have perfectly resisted the attack of the abyssal creatures while reducing casualties!"
After his words fell, all the officers began to applaud…
Long Yuxue replied with neither servility nor overbearing pride, "General, this is what we were supposed to do! Moreover, the successful completion of the mission was all thanks to the efforts of the special forces and the Close Combat Battalion warriors!"
Jiang Qiyue also nodded in agreement…
Long Tianwu took a deep breath and said once more, "In light of your exceptional performance during this mission, you are awarded the rank of Lieutenant Colonel."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Qiyue and Long Yuxue exchanged glances, both showing surprise in their eyes…
It was well known that a great amount of Merit Points were needed to be promoted from Major to Lieutenant Colonel, and this time, they were directly elevated to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel!!
Long Tianwu rarely showed a smile, "Do not be surprised. This decision has been agreed upon by all the officers, so you two are definitely qualified!"
He then personally bestowed upon them the Lieutenant Colonel insignias…
