Jiang Wuming was very aware that according to the experience summarized by the Military Department in battles with extraterrestrial enemies, the strength of enemies descending from the same curtain was gradually increasing.
Previously, the five extraterrestrial enemies who had descended were all at the ninth stage of the Nine-Star Warrior realm. Therefore, the extraterrestrial enemies descending next would be at the War God level!
"Little Yao, you stay there for now. Wait for new enemies to appear behind the curtain. Once their strength is confirmed, leave immediately and call me to tell me their information!"
Jiang Wuming quickly calmed down and gave new instructions.
"Yes… Brother Wuming!"
Dongfang Xiaoyao instinctively started to obey as she had when following Jiang Wuming in the Battle Dragon Hall, about to call him Hall Master, but changed her address at the last moment.
Since the South Guang trip, she had begun to gradually adapt to calling Jiang Wuming 'Brother Wuming'.
After Dongfang Xiaoyao hung up the phone, she noticed that Chen Yong, Lu Feng, and other staff members of the Military Department's Suzhou branch office were all casting their gazes towards the great curtain.
In the sunlight, the excitement and joy on their faces gradually faded, replaced by solemnity.
This was because they had heard Dongfang Xiaoyao's words and were well aware of what it meant for the curtain not to disappear!
"Miss Dongfang, thank you again for your assistance just now. You should also know that the curtain not disappearing means more enemies will appear, and the strength of the newly descending enemies will be even greater. For your personal safety, please leave now."
Seeing Dongfang Xiaoyao ending her call, Chen Yong hesitated before speaking.
Although he hadn't heard what Jiang Wuming had said to Dongfang Xiaoyao, he knew that both Jiang Wuming and Dongfang Xiaoyao had done more than enough.
He didn't have the authority, nor did he feel it appropriate to beg Dongfang Xiaoyao to stay and help them.
After all, he couldn't predict when the extraterrestrial enemies would descend. If they were to descend immediately, Dongfang Xiaoyao would be buried with them.
Furthermore, he had just spoken with Yan Jun and learned that Yan Jun, along with the experts from the Military Department's Jiangnan branch, had arrived in Suzhou city by helicopter and would be here soon.
"Brother Wuming asked me to stay here temporarily and leave after the extraterrestrial enemies appear behind the curtain," Dongfang Xiaoyao replied.
"Master Wuming is…?" Chen Yong was somewhat confused.
"Brother Wuming is also rushing here," Dongfang Xiaoyao said.
"Ah—"
Upon hearing Dongfang Xiaoyao's words again, Chen Yong couldn't help but be startled.
Not only him but Lu Feng and the others also looked astonished!
They hadn't known about Jiang Wuming's arrival and hadn't expected him to come here!
"That's great!"
"Jiang Wuming killed a Three-Star War God at the Global Martial Arts Convention. If he comes here, unless the descending extraterrestrial enemies are Four-Star War Gods, we won't have anything to fear!"
"According to the summarized experience, the strength of the extraterrestrial enemies descending for the first time is limited. Apart from the Loulan Ancient City, Kunlun, Qinling, Potala Palace, Wudang, and Longhu Mountain have not had Four-Star War Gods descend, and we shouldn't either!"
...
After the surprise, all the personnel from the Military Department's Suzhou branch office, including Chen Yong, became excited again.
It felt like a group of people lost in darkness suddenly saw a ray of light.
The dawn of victory!
Just then, the sound of a hovering helicopter grew louder.
Swish swish swish…
In an instant, whether it was Dongfang Xiaoyao or Chen Yong, Lu Feng, and the other members of the Military Department's Suzhou branch office, they all looked in the direction of the sound and saw a small helicopter whistling towards them.
"Director Yan is here!"
Seeing this, almost all the members of the Military Department's Suzhou branch office cheered excitedly.
Chen Yong and Lu Feng also breathed a long sigh of relief.
This was because they knew that the Military Department's Jiangnan branch had one Two-Star War God and two One-Star War Gods.
This was also the standard and top-tier combat power for all provinces in the Eastern Region Army.
Soon, amidst the cheers and gazes of the members of the Military Department's Suzhou branch office, the small helicopter landed on the road at the entrance of Hanshan Temple. Yan Jun, along with five people, disembarked from the helicopter. Among them were one Two-Star War God and two One-Star War Gods. The remaining two, like Yan Jun, were all Nine-Star Warriors.
"Director Yan, Director Nie…"
Chen Yong immediately led his men forward to greet Yan Jun and his group.
The Director Nie they referred to was the Two-Star War God named Nie Xing, the first deputy director of the Jiangnan branch and its strongest combat force, responsible for combat and mission execution. Yan Jun was responsible for overall coordination and management.
This was similar to many units in the secular world. The head of a unit was often not the one with the strongest professional skills but definitely the one with the strongest leadership and management abilities, and the best at utilizing people.
"Comrades, you've worked hard," Yan Jun said with a slight nod. He then saw the blood-stained Dongfang Xiaoyao still at the scene, and a flicker of surprise crossed his eyes.
As he finished speaking, he flashed forward and quickly arrived in front of Dongfang Xiaoyao. Like Chen Yong and the others before, he placed his right fist on his heart and thanked Dongfang Xiaoyao with the highest standard military courtesy: "Miss Dongfang, thank you for everything you have done for the Military Department's Jiangnan Suzhou branch office!"
"You're welcome." Dongfang Xiaoyao replied as before, then shifted her attention back to the great curtain.
Seeing this, Yan Jun, remembering that Jiang Wuming was on his way, immediately judged that Dongfang Xiaoyao had not left because she had contacted Jiang Wuming.
Making this judgment, Yan Jun stopped being polite with Dongfang Xiaoyao and went to Lu Feng's side, asking with concern, "Brother Lu, how is your injury?"
"Director Yan, my injury is not serious." Lu Feng shook his head with a smile. He had already taken healing medicine and had stopped the bleeding.
"That's good." Yan Jun nodded and then looked at the members of the Military Department's Suzhou branch office, preparing to say something.
However—
Before Yan Jun could utter the words on his lips, the great curtain behind him suddenly experienced violent energy fluctuations!
The sudden change caused Yan Jun's expression to shift. He quickly turned around and directed his gaze at the great curtain.
At the same time, everyone else also looked towards the great curtain.
The next moment.
Under their gaze, six figures appeared behind the great curtain.
Among them, three figures, like the previous five extraterrestrial enemies, were wearing black armor and holding spears.
They stood at the front of the formation.
Behind them were two middle-aged men in silver armor, with swords at their waists.
And the last one was a young man in a black robe.
"All personnel, form ranks, prepare for battle!"
Seeing the reappearance of the extraterrestrial enemies, Yan Jun stopped his morale-boosting words and issued a direct order.
Huala!
With Yan Jun's command, the battle formation that had already dispersed reassembled.
Chen Yong and Lu Feng, along with Nie Xing and the other five, immediately moved to Yan Jun's side, standing at the forefront of the battle formation.
At this moment, they and Dongfang Xiaoyao stared intently at the great curtain, waiting for the aura of the extraterrestrial enemies to appear!
Swish swish swish…
About half a minute later, both Dongfang Xiaoyao and Yan Jun and the others had their expressions change instantly!
This was because they sensed that among the six extraterrestrial enemies descending this time, there were two at the ninth stage of the Two-Star War God realm and four at the ninth stage of the One-Star War God realm!
Such strength completely exceeded their estimations and completely crushed them!
"Miss Dongfang, the enemy's strength is too great, you should leave!" After a brief moment of shock, Yan Jun immediately looked at Dongfang Xiaoyao and reminded her.
As he said, the enemy's strength was too great, and it wouldn't make much difference whether Dongfang Xiaoyao stayed or not.
In such a situation, he naturally didn't want to see Dongfang Xiaoyao die with them!
"Okay!" Dongfang Xiaoyao nodded, said nothing, and flashed away.
At the same time, the excitement and joy on the faces of all the members of the Military Department's Suzhou branch office, including Lu Feng and Chen Yong, vanished without a trace, and solemnity reappeared on their faces.
Some even looked a little panicked!
Nie Xing and the other five also had extremely solemn expressions!
"Comrades, you can all sense it. The enemy's strength is above ours. This will be a battle to the death! We must hold Hanshan Temple at all costs and absolutely must not let the enemy step out of Hanshan Temple!" Yan Jun took all this in and spoke loudly.
"Yes!" Everyone immediately acknowledged the order, their faces filled with resolve.
That resolve was the willingness to charge forward even knowing they would die!
"I believe we can hold on until Master Jiang Wuming arrives here!!" Yan Jun added, his voice echoing through the skies above Hanshan Temple.
This time.
There was no verbal response, but on everyone's faces, besides resolve, there was also anticipation.
Anticipation for Jiang Wuming's arrival!
