Chapter 33 Something happened

In the Magic City, inside a temporary building near the Huangpu River.

The headquarters for the fight against the monster invasion was set up here.

The commander-in-chief this time is the famous Congressman Zhu Meng.

But at this moment, Zhu Meng's face was ashen. The battle situation in various places was extremely tense, and messages for help came one after another.

"Qingtang Dam has been lost and we are requesting the wizard's reinforcements."

"Huakou Dam was besieged by multiple general-level monsters. The garrisoning magician was killed. Request for support."

"The sewers in the eastern part of the Demon City have been invaded by crocodile monsters. Please send reinforcements to destroy them."

Although Zhu Menggui is a super-class wizard, facing the current situation he can only distribute the limited resources as much as possible to achieve the maximum utilization of resources.

It's not that the Demon Capital can't send more people, but that there are still some monsters in the Siren Empire that are ready to make a move in secret.

Many super-class mages are guarding everywhere to prevent more monsters from taking advantage of the situation and invading.

"Damn that Tide Monster Lord. He actually colluded with the monsters of the Ocean Empire. This really caught us off guard."

Looking at the turbulent Huangpu River, Zhu Meng couldn't help but curse a few words.

"I hope Councillor Meng calms down. The most important thing now is to quickly send people to get rid of the Tide Demon Monarch. Otherwise, the Demon City will not be able to survive the minor flood season, and the damage will be even greater."

The person who spoke was a female officer named Nan Yu, who was sent by the Southern Military Region for internship.

The Southern Military Region is very optimistic about Nan Yu’s future.

Therefore, he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to command the defense during the minor flood season to send Nan Yu to be with Councillor Zhu Meng, hoping to learn some experience from him.

After all, in addition to facing the Siren Empire, the Southern Military Region also has to face the threat of monsters in the rivers, especially the monsters living in the Yangtze River.

Nan Yu was also very happy to be able to study under Councillor Zhu Meng.

Because Councillor Zhu Meng is a well-known doer in the country. Not only is he very capable, but his command is also beyond the reach of others.

I have benefited a lot from my studies these days.

"You're right, Nan Yu. But this beast is really cunning. As soon as our mage showed his face, he hid in the Yangtze River and refused to come out.

I really don't know how a monster like him who is afraid of death can grow to the level of a monarch."

Zhu Meng shook his head helplessly. He knew that it was better to capture the leader first, but this monarch-level monster was too cautious.

Whenever the super-class wizard showed any sign of presence, the opponent would escape into the river.

Originally, he wanted to send a water mage to force the opponent out, but the opponent's ability to control water was obviously stronger than that of a super street water mage.

Unless a forbidden spell wizard is asked to take action, as long as the opponent escapes into the Yangtze River, human wizards will be unable to do anything to him.

"You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, Councillor Zhu Meng, you should take a rest for a while.

You haven't slept for a few days. If you fall down, there will be no one to take over as the commander-in-chief for the time being."

Nan Yu advised from the side.

In order to command the overall situation well, Councillor Zhu Meng did not dare to sleep for a moment, for fear of missing any important news.

Zhu Meng's eyes are now red from staying up all night.

"Okay, I'll take a nap then. If there's anything important, be sure to wake me up."

"I understand, Councillor Zhu Meng, don't worry."

Nan Yu promised solemnly.

Zhu Meng was very satisfied with Nan Yu, the intern. He was very rigorous in his work, and there would be no problems if he was entrusted with this matter.

So Zhu Meng leaned back in his chair and took a short rest.

After a few hours of rest, Councillor Zhu Meng obviously felt much better, his body was much more relaxed, and his mind was much clearer.

After opening his eyes, Zhu Meng asked Nan Yu if there was anything important.

"No, Councillor Zhu Meng, you can continue to rest for a while. We can handle the current situation."

In fact, the existence of the commander-in-chief is more like to deal with emergencies, but most of the time, many situations can just follow the original system.

Therefore, Nan Yu was able to run the entire defense work smoothly while Congressman Zhu Meng was resting.

"Forget it. Show me the previous intelligence and I'll see if there's anything I've missed."

After enduring for so long, his thinking became a little unclear, so Zhu Meng decided to take a closer look at the situation to prevent any mistakes in decision-making.

But after looking through the information for a while, Zhu Meng found something wrong and began to frown.

Seeing Councillor Zhu Meng's expression, Nan Yu asked cautiously.

"Congressman Zhu Meng, is there something wrong with the intelligence?"

"Have you seen the intelligence coming from Songjiang Dam in the past three days?"

"Songjiang Dam?" Nan Yu thought about it.

She is no vase. During the days she was interning as the commander-in-chief, she has memorized all the ferry dams on all the tributaries of the Magic City. She is also well aware of the intelligence sent from various places.

But no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't remember what information was sent from Songjiang Dam during these three days.

Thinking of this, Nan Yu suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

"No, no, not a single one. There has been no news from Songjiang Dam in three days."

Nan Yu knew very well what this situation meant.

In these three days, dams across the country were under great pressure to resist the invasion of monsters.

Messages for help were transmitted to the general command room one after another like snowflakes, but no news was received from Songjiang Dam.

Then there is only one possibility at this time, that is, the wizard stationed there concealed the unfavorable news.

As for whether it is possible that the other party really held on.

Nan Yu didn't dare to take the gamble. After all, so many dams were facing huge pressures, so why shouldn't your Songjiang Dam have any problems?

There wasn't even any message requesting support, which is really against common sense.

What Nan Yu can think of, Councillor Zhu Meng can naturally think of as well.

"These bastards are disregarding the interests of the people. Damn it, if this is really the case, I will skin them alive."

Councillor Zhu Meng slammed the table angrily, then called in the officer in charge of recruiting mages.

"I want to ask you, who is the commander in charge of guarding Songjiang Dam?"

“The team is led by Mage Tang Yue from the Inquisition. Her team is composed of some veteran mid-level mages recruited by the Magicians Association.

Oh, by the way, there was a dangerous situation at a dam near Master Tang Yue, and they sent some troops to provide support."

"What? You said they sent more troops to provide support?!"

Councillor Zhu Meng's eyes widened.

"Yes, it is."

The officer was frightened by the super-class aura emanating from Councillor Zhu Meng and stuttered.
"This is the order you issued earlier, Councillor Zhu Meng.

When the Green River Dam was lost, you ordered the mages stationed nearby to provide emergency support.

The closest garrison point to Green River Dam is Songjiang Dam. That’s why we issued an order for Master Tang Yue to send people to support us.”
