Chapter 498: 497, Summon players, exchange for fifth-tier troop type_1
 

While assisting Xue Wenli in taking over Busan, Su Yu managed to spare some time and posted a message on the official forum, informing players about the plan devised by Chairman Hu Jing and elaborating on its importance.

At the same time, Su Yu appealed to the players to actively participate in this campaign, especially the Druid players who had demonstrated their power in the past, were of utmost importance to this battle and should gather on the Busan front.

The official forum was already flooded with discussions about the serious situation in Neon Country (Japan).

For example:

“The people of Neon are really suffering!”

“Yeah, suddenly facing a horde of monsters… Just thinking about it feels hopeless.”

“I can’t even imagine how terrible it is over there.”

“But there’s nothing they can do. Neon is technologically advanced, densely populated, and a neighbor of Huaxia… I hope fewer people will die in this disaster.”

“QAQ, my high school classmate just settled there because of the lower pressure in the Asian server and had just successfully materialized, but now I’ve lost contact.”

“Condolences.”

“Aren’t the Neon people good at fighting small monsters? Maybe they could ask Ultraman to deal with these monsters?”

“You’ve watched too many special effects movies, bro. Have you ever seen Ultraman fight 3000 monsters at once in the filming scene? Are you trying to kill Ultraman by exhaustion?”

…

Although there is deep enmity between Neon Country and Huaxia Nation, in the context of the Skuru alien invasion, most people in Huaxia still sympathized with the Neon people. They held a kind of sympathetic attitude, much like mourning for those we see as similar to ourselves. There was rarely any gloating.

Once Su Yu’s post was made on the forum, the official forum immediately came alive!

At first, people were a bit resistant to go to Busan, the frontline of the war. But after reading Su Yu’s post saying “players are only responsible for constructing defensive structures and planting catalytic plants,” they stopped hesitating.

The players on the forum echoed:

“We must go! There is no threat to our lives this time, why not go?”

“Planting catalytic plants… As a Druid player, I can do my part!”

“Hehe, I’m a strength player that Boss Ke said can replace 3 excavators, leave all the heavy work to me!”

“Heed the call, head to Busan!”

“Screw those alien monsters!”

“I haven’t been abroad in my whole life, I can’t wait!”

“But how do we get there? Where should we gather to be transported? Yunlu Mountain?”

“Not sure about that, let’s wait for the official announcement.”

The players were extraordinarily enthusiastic, eager to help in Busan.

Although the official registration method for traveling to Busan has not been announced yet, some players couldn’t wait and already started driving towards Yunlu Mountain.

…

…

While Su Yu and Xue Wenli were heading to Busan, Zhong Feng and Elder Tao returned to Yunlu Mountain.

Upon reaching the top of Yunlu Mountain, the two of them split up.

Let’s start with Zhong Feng.

Zhong Feng transformed into the [Falcon Form], and swooped down towards the military base at the foot of the mountain.

In the largest among them, he located Commander Zhao Hanyang of the First Army of the Seventh Division of the Blue Star Defense Force, and briefly relayed his battle plan.

The military base’s warehouse was stocked with a large amount of reserve gold intended to be used to quickly exchange for a large number of 5th tier troops during critical moments.

This gold was now being put to use.

Under the command of the Commander Zhao, military trucks loaded with gold were driven out of the base one after another, heading towards the five camps along the newly repaired mountain road.

But Zhong Feng was not in a hurry.

Exchanging for 2000 fifth-tier soldiers required 20,000 tons of gold, while the military base only had at most 5000 tons of gold in storage.

The remaining gold needed to be transferred from all over the country, so he still had to stay at Yunlu Mountain for a long time.

He took out his phone and contacted Su Yu who was far away in Busan.

“Hey, Su Yu.”

“What’s up?”

“I’m preparing to exchange for fifth-tier soldiers. Which ones do you think I should get? By the way, because I haven’t been in contact with them before, I’m not familiar with the abilities of the Mountain Giant and the Sacred Angel.”

“In terms of exchange…” Su Yu thought for a moment, then replied:

“First of all, don’t exchange for the [Mountain Giant]. The Mountain Giant is too heavy and cannot fly. Even if you exchange for them, they would arrive in Busan late compared to the monster group in Neon Country, so they’re useless.”

“Alright, what’s next?”

“Next, try to exchange less for the [Flame Phoenix]. After all, we’re in a maritime environment, and this could limit their performance.”

“The remaining [Frost Dragon], [Shadow Ghost], and [Sacred Angel] can be exchanged in equal amounts… Hmm, the lineup is a bit lacking in AOE abilities, so add a bit more Flame Phoenix. Worst case, we fight on land.”

Zhong Feng: “Okay, I will exchange now… How are things progressing on your side?”

Su Yu: “Everything is going smoothly.”

Zhong Feng: “That’s good.”

Su Yu: “By the way, I’ve already posted on the official forum. Take care of things on your side at Yunlu Mountain and send the players and the fifth-tier grandmasters over by helicopter as soon as possible.”

Zhong Feng: “Alright, I’ll take care of it after I finish exchanging for this batch of 5th-tier troops.”

…

While Zhong Feng was talking to Su Yu, he had already reached the outskirts of the [Icy Camp].

The Old Man of Frost, seeing Zhong Feng bringing so many trucks loaded with gold, was overjoyed.

After stuffing all the gold into his pocket dimension, he summoned Frost Dragons from the camp as if pulling a magic trick.

Roar! Roar! Roar!

The Frost Dragons flew out of the snowy camp, forming a circular formation in the sky.

The Blue Star soldiers below originally felt a bit disgruntled seeing the old man taking carloads of gold. After all, this was the wealth of the Blue Star people. 10 kilograms of gold was enough for a man to live comfortably for life.

But as they saw these powerful and beautifully formed creatures in the sky, their dissatisfaction disappeared, replaced with admiration.

…

At the same time, on the top of Yunlu Mountain, Elder Tao gathered all the grandmasters and briefed them on the monster group caused by the gravitational funnel and Chairman Zhao Jing’s countermeasure plan.

After hearing Elder Tao’s description, the grandmasters, led by Emperor Taizong, replied in agreement: “Hmm, it is a critical moment. It is time for us to break through.”

Elder Tao looked at these serious grandmasters before him and felt a surge of emotion.

This pre-war meeting should have been attended by Emperor Taizong. He was just a peripheral figure. But since Emperor Taizong was suppressing his strength to avoid premature recovery to the Dividing Spirit Stage and was unable to multitask, Elder Tao was able to participate fully.

Regardless, since he was involved, he was determined to do a good job!

Elder Tao cheered himself up and started helping Emperor Taizong prepare the breakthrough site.
