Although he lived in a slum, Gu Ran still managed to get a rare TV thanks to his connections.
For ease of management, the city of San José divided the slums into several large districts using letters, and then represented the many small areas within the large districts with numbers.
The slum area where Gu Ran is located is District D, District 32, or District D32, according to the official division of the City of St. John.
Each region will have a legion stationed at the junction of the inner city and the slums. The chief officer is the army commander with the rank of major general.
Duville was an exception. The exception was that he also had the rank of major general, but he only commanded a division of the city defense force.
And Duville is very high-profile and often appears in television interviews.
... ...
Outside the light screen.
"General Duville, the last name Duville... Oh, I remember it. Wasn't it during the massive beast wave back then? That was probably a once-in-20-years beast wave, so many people were killed or injured. Even the Duville family, one of the candidates for the ruling position in Saint Joel City, had a member who died heroically in the battle. Could it be this General Duville?"
"Oh, now that you mention it, I remember it too. His name should be Kelly Duville. He is said to be the most outstanding military genius of the Duville family in recent decades. He fought for 48 hours in this tide of ferocious beasts and wiped out all the ferocious beasts in this area. He would rather die than retreat. He is indeed a man, and he lives up to the name of the Duville family."
Many people are familiar with the Duville family of Saint-Jean City, because the system of Saint-Jean City is quite special, with several families taking turns in power, and Duville is one of the candidate families taking turns in power.
"Back then, all the major cities reported the death of Kelly Duville, the most outstanding military genius of the Duville family. If it weren't for him, the beast tide would have probably attacked Saint Joel City from District D."
"Such a genius has fallen like this. If he were still alive, with his military talent, he would definitely be able to greatly enhance the power of mankind."
"Yes, humans need top-notch warriors, and they also need outstanding military geniuses like this. With General Duville, there is no doubt that these ferocious beasts would have been wiped out by him in the end, but it's a pity that he died in the end."
Military genius is still very helpful in commanding large army groups to fight. In the current world situation, although the tide of ferocious beasts is no longer the biggest threat to mankind, an empire composed of ferocious beasts and other marine tribes has appeared in the ocean world, forming a huge force.
At the same time, the heavens and the abyss, which originally had little to do with humans, are slowly merging with the world they live in, adding a bit of uncertainty to the safety of the human world.
It is hard to say that humans will not come into conflict with these forces. At that time, in addition to competing with the top strongmen, they will definitely compete with each other in the combat capabilities of the armies.
23. The city defense army was defeated!
In the light screen.
After Gu Ran picked up the communicator, he put it on his body and rushed to the front line of the battlefield.
In any case, the slums now infested with ferocious beasts were where he had lived for more than a decade. At least he now had a common enemy with these city defense forces.
From a distance he saw that the city defense troops were forming a huge fan shape and charging towards a large group of ferocious beasts gathered in front of them.
"These ferocious beasts seem a little strange." Gu Ran stopped and observed.
The ferocious beasts in the distance looked ferocious and brutal, with bloodshot eyes and murderous intent.
But strangely, it did not attack the humans nor run away, but stayed where it was.
It seemed as if they were waiting for humans specifically.
Suddenly, a very bad guess came to his mind.
Could this be the strategy of the ferocious beast
They are just waiting for the opportunity.
Did the commander of this city defense army see it
Gu Ran teleported through space and stood on the top of a collapsed building. He looked around, looking for the chief officer of the city defense army.
At the same time, he turned up the volume of the communicator to the maximum, hoping to hear a clue.
The channel of the communicator is very special, it is a dedicated military channel that can only transmit information from the military commander to the soldiers in a one-way manner.
“Sizzle—”
The communicator rang again.
"Attention at all levels, everyone must cooperate with the special forces team and create conditions for them to carry out the decapitation operation!"
"Don't be afraid of sacrifice. Those who retreat will be punished by military law!"
"Your glory will be engraved in human history, and your family will be well taken care of!"
"My soldiers, please move forward bravely!"
The words are passionate and very persuasive.
However, Gu Ran couldn't help but frown. Didn't he sense something unusual about the ferocious beast
Also, he sensed the abnormality of the beast and came up with a solution, but I didn’t understand it
General Duville has received a lot of praise on TV. As the saying goes, there is no false reputation.
Gu Ran couldn't help but think carefully about the other party's intentions.
"The decapitation operation, are those elite beasts?"
Gu Ran raised his head and looked in the direction of the ferocious beast.
Because the army and the ferocious beasts were very close, the city defense cannons naturally could not bombard here to avoid accidentally hurting their own people.
Then, in order to eliminate the elite ferocious beasts, the city defense forces themselves will have to rely on them.
General Duville's tactical goal is obviously to eliminate those elite beasts at all costs, and his confidence should be the special forces team mentioned in the communicator - a special forces team composed purely of people with special powers.
Gu Ran teleported to the top of another tall building which was suitable for watching the battle.
If the city defense forces could deal with these ferocious beasts, he wouldn't have to take action.
In order to cover the special forces team with super powers, almost all members of the city defense force went out to attack, using their powerful firepower to attract the attention of the group of ferocious beasts.
The special forces team in the dark took advantage of the dispersion of the ferocious beasts and launched an attack towards their target.
Their first target was a giant gorilla, which was more than ten meters tall, with blood-red hair that stood upside down like a porcupine.
"This is the first time I've seen a person with the ability to transform into an animal." Gu Ran couldn't help but be slightly surprised when he saw that a member of the special forces team suddenly turned into a giant goshawk.
There are many types of superpowers, and it is estimated that no one in this world can truly count how many types of superpowers there are. Among them, the ability to transform into a beast is actually a relatively common superpower. It’s just that Gu Ran has little experience at the moment, and this is the first time he has seen it in reality.
The huge goshawk carrying several team members flew to the head of the gorilla beast. A handsome man jumped off the goshawk and landed on the back of the gorilla's neck.
He folded his hands, a flash of light appeared, and the two swords were sheathed.
He almost cut off half of the gorilla's neck!
During the entire process, the gorilla beast had no ability to resist at all.
In other directions, the special forces teams also proceeded smoothly and succeeded one after another.
But when Gu Ran looked at the reactions of the ferocious beasts, he became even more uneasy.
"Found it, it's there." Gu Ran saw where Duville's battlefield command center was located and teleported away from the place.
... ...
"General, the plan of the special forces team is going smoothly. We have eliminated six elite beasts!"
A communicator shouted happily as he looked at the message transmitted to him.
"Haha, Chief of Staff Yang, what do you think? I told you that you are totally overthinking it. How could I lose when I have a special combat team with super powers?"
"It is the most correct thing to execute the decapitation plan. After most of the elite beasts are eliminated, we can cover these lower-level beasts with artillery fire."
Inside the military tent, a blond young man in his twenties patted the shoulder of a middle-aged man in his thirties with black hair and yellow skin next to him and said.
Although the elite beasts cannot withstand the damage of the city defense cannons, they can withstand the small-caliber artillery fire of the army.
If these elite beasts are not eliminated first, they may easily attack the artillery position.
"Captain Duville, I still stick to my opinion. These ferocious beasts are in an abnormal state and we cannot advance rashly!" Staff Officer Yang said in a rather earnest tone.
Just hearing Staff Officer Yang's "Division Commander Duville", Kelly Duville's face froze slightly.
The reason why he asked others to call him General was because to him, the status of a general was higher than that of a division commander, and he was on the same level as Yang Tian, the chief officer of the group army, so he preferred to hear it.
Only Staff Officer Yang, who also came from the Yang family, would call him division commander, which made him feel a little resentful.
He must have been sent by that old thief Yang Tian to restrict my development.
This is what Kelly Duville often said to herself.
The Yang family has been operating in the group army in District D for many years and has deep roots. The family sent him here to expand the family's influence and extend their hands into this group army.
Therefore, Kelly Duville was not surprised that the Yang family had planted a spies in his own army. However, he was very dissatisfied with Chief of Staff Yang for questioning his decisions and always contradicting him.
"I'm going to win a glorious victory this time to show you!"
Kelly Duville sneered in his heart.
He applied for this special forces team from his family. Strictly speaking, it is the private army of the Duville family, not a regular unit of the D Zone Army Group.
The purpose is to win a great victory in an opportunity like today, increase his qualifications in the army, and suppress the power of the Yang family.
As for what Chief of Staff Yang kept telling him, that the beast was in a strange state and that he should not advance rashly, he just thought that he was trying to stop him from making any achievements.
"Haha, there's nothing to be afraid of these unintelligent beasts. Staff Officer Yang is really too timid. My special forces team has almost achieved success! Just wait for our victory celebration."
Outside the military tent, Gu Ran frowned when he heard the conversation between the two people.
"Such an arrogant chief officer."
This made him feel even more uneasy.
"General... General... The front line has been completely defeated!" At this time, the communicator in the military tent said in a trembling voice.
