BXBX NOVEL Chapter 220: The Situation is More Severe Than Expected
"I will teleport directly into the military base, and afterward, I will construct a stable Portal. The exit of this Portal will be right at the location where we currently stand."
"The tasks you need to undertake are exceedingly simple: once the Portal is generated, you must ensure the safety around it. Under no circumstances should any monsters be allowed to approach the Portal."
Bonnie and Ritchie naturally took Jeremy\'s instructions to heart with utmost seriousness.
Bonnie, with a determined tone, assured Jeremy.
"Rest assured, Ritchie and I will certainly ensure the safety surrounding the Portal." After saying this, Bonnie brandished her most powerful staff.
Ritchie nodded vigorously in agreement.
At that moment, Ritchie had donned the Ravager\'s Gloves, which indicated he was ready to engage in battle at any time.
The actions of Bonnie and Ritchie filled Jeremy with immense satisfaction.
"Very well, then I shall commence my operation!"
After uttering these words, Jeremy summoned a Portal. The Portal Jeremy conjured was a temporary one, designed to allow only him to pass through.
As Jeremy stepped through the Portal, he found himself inside the military base.
At that moment, the interior of the military base was in utter chaos, with the soldiers relying on their last line of defense to stave off the attacks from the monsters lurking in the nearby instances.
Jeremy\'s arrival did not entirely alleviate the tension among the soldiers within the military base.
"You have finally arrived! The general has just informed me of your plan. I will lead an elite team to ensure your safety. Please, activate the Portal immediately."
General Howard\'s aide rushed to Jeremy\'s side almost instantaneously.
Jeremy nodded in acknowledgment, "You must ensure that there are no monsters in my vicinity once the Portal is activated. If you cannot guarantee this, you must inform me in advance.
My combat capabilities are exceptionally strong at this moment. I can assist you in clearing out any significantly threatening monsters before the Portal is opened."
The reason Jeremy felt compelled to articulate his concerns was that he perceived the situation within the military base to be far more dire than he had initially anticipated.
If, after activating the Portal, high-level monsters were to appear around Jeremy, his entire plan would be thwarted.
The aide to General Howard was in a state of internal conflict.
On one hand, he desperately wished for Jeremy to activate the Portal swiftly, allowing the soldiers within the military base to reach a safe location.
On the other hand, he harbored significant doubts about his ability to ensure that no monsters would approach Jeremy once the Portal was opened.
Jeremy recognized the turmoil within the aide.
"It seems that you also lack sufficient confidence. Allow me to assist you in eliminating the more threatening monsters in the vicinity first!"
After saying this, Jeremy immediately began moving toward the nearest monster he could sense.
Thanks to his innate ability as The King of Time and Space, his speed of movement was exceedingly rapid. By the time Jeremy reached the location of the closest monster, General Howard\'s aide was only just beginning to comprehend the situation.
"It appears that we have no choice but to follow his plan now!" the aide remarked to several soldiers nearby.
With that, the aide quickly rallied the soldiers around him and sprinted toward Jeremy\'s direction.
The first monster Jeremy encountered within the military base was a colossal ogre, boasting a formidable level of 52.
This giant ogre had already killed several soldiers in the military base prior to Jeremy\'s arrival, plunging it into a state of bloodthirsty frenzy.
When Jeremy appeared before the giant ogre, the creature showed no signs of fear whatsoever.
The ogre merely fixed its scarlet eyes upon Jeremy, seemingly regarding him as potential prey.
Without wasting much time, the ogre observed Jeremy for a brief moment before lunging directly at him.
Jeremy remained rooted in place, making no attempt to evade the oncoming attack.
He understood that the creature posed no real threat to him.
Moreover, any action he took would only result in wasting more precious time.
The giant ogre swiftly closed the distance, and Jeremy\'s expression remained unchanged as he coldly regarded the beast.
The ogre raised its formidable claws and aimed to strike Jeremy, while he calmly drew the Longsword of the Undying.
Rather than attempting to block the ogre\'s attack, Jeremy swung the Longsword of the Undying toward the ogre\'s left leg.
Although the giant ogre\'s level was not low, it was utterly incapable of defending against the attack of the Longsword of the Undying.
After all, the Longsword of the Undying itself boasted an impressive level of 58.
Moreover, Jeremy, the wielder of the Longsword of the Undying, had already surpassed level fifty himself.
With a single strike, the giant ogre\'s left leg was severed cleanly by the Longsword of the Undying.
Following a piercing scream, the one-legged ogre could no longer maintain its balance and crashed heavily to the ground.
Without wasting a moment, Jeremy raised the bloodied Longsword of the Undying and brought it down upon the fallen giant ogre\'s head.
When General Howard\'s aide and the soldiers in his company arrived near Jeremy, they witnessed him standing over the slain giant ogre, the blade of his sword dripping with crimson.
After dispatching the giant ogre, Jeremy turned to look at Howard\'s aide.
"There should be no higher-level monsters lurking in this direction. Let\'s check another area, after we deal with the formidable creatures there, we can proceed with our next actions."
Jeremy spoke these words in an exceptionally cold tone.
The reason for his chilling demeanor was entirely due to the awakening of his talent, The King of Time and Space, which had led to the erosion of his consciousness by divine essence.
Divinity inherently dulls the emotions of any living being.
The higher the divinity, the more muted the being\'s feelings become.
If Jeremy were ever to truly ascend to the status of a deity, it was highly likely that his emotions would be completely consumed by the divine essence.
Upon witnessing this scene, the aide to General Howard displayed an expression of disbelief.
Although General Howard had previously informed him of Jeremy\'s formidable strength, he had not anticipated that Jeremy could dispatch a creature of level fifty or above in such a brief span of time.
"What\'s the matter? Do you believe there\'s an issue with my plan?"
Jeremy, not receiving a response from General Howard\'s aide, pressed further with his inquiry.
His inquiry snapped the aide back to reality.
"Your plan is flawless! Let us proceed according to your strategy! I will escort you swiftly to the other direction!"
The aide had confirmed that Jeremy could indeed assist them in overcoming the crisis, so he promptly led Jeremy toward another area.
On the other side of the military base, several monsters exceeding level fifty were relentlessly assaulting the last line of defense.
The soldiers stationed at this final bastion were in a dire state.
Not a single one of them believed they could hold out much longer. Each soldier had lost hope of surviving the onslaught.
Just as the last line of defense was on the verge of being breached, Jeremy arrived at the location, accompanied by General Howard\'s aide.
The moment Jeremy set foot here, he conjured a temporal barrier in front of the last line of defense.
Any monster that entered the temporal barrier would find its speed significantly diminished, while also facing attacks from temporal rifts.
"I will swiftly eliminate these monsters! Your task is to restore the soldiers\' conditions as quickly as possible. Because during the upcoming operations, I will still need these soldiers to maintain the last line of defense."
After conveying this instruction to General Howard\'s aide, Jeremy gripped the Longsword of the Undying and launched an assault on the nearby monsters.
The aide, naturally obedient to Jeremy\'s commands, instructed the surrounding soldiers to quickly retrieve recovery supplies from their packs.
"Consume these supplies promptly! They will restore you to peak condition. Afterward, you will be able to continue defending the last line of defense with ease."
The aide swiftly executed Jeremy\'s directives, coordinating the actions of the soldiers.
Meanwhile, Jeremy\'s actions were even swifter than those of General Howard\'s aide. He managed to eliminate all the high-level monsters in the vicinity in under five minutes.
"We have successfully dealt with all the high-level monsters that posed a direct threat to us. Now, we must execute the retreat plan.
Come with me back to the center of the military base! I will create a Portal here, and your role will be to ensure the soldiers enter it in an orderly fashion."
Jeremy stated earnestly to General Howard\'s aide.
