Chapter 297 Joint Attack
On the morning of January 11th, Li Chenglong had issued a meeting notice through the central computer room the previous night. Therefore, high-ranking officers of the Dawn Army and key leaders from relevant departments in Dawn City arrived early at the 7th floor of the Dawn Building for the meeting. During the meeting, Li Chenglong explained the joint attack by the Dawn Army and the Resistance Army against the sea monsters, and clarified the advantages and disadvantages.
Then, after a show of hands by the attendees, the proposal to send troops was unanimously approved. After further discussion, Li Chenglong decided that Yun Lan and Zheng Yong would lead the 1st Division of the Dawn Army, a portion of the late-stage equipment troops, a portion of the information support troops, and the special forces to join forces with the 3000-strong resistance force to be dispatched by the rebels, and together clear out the sea monsters in the north.
Li Chenglong originally wanted to lead the team himself, but Yun Lan mentioned last night that she wanted to kill more sea monsters this time so she could level up faster. After considering it, Li Chenglong agreed to her request. To facilitate the battle, Li Chenglong sent Zhao Liying, Han Xiaoling, and some special forces members with Yun Lan.
According to the agreement previously reached with the resistance army, Tears of the City, the battle was scheduled for the morning of the 15th, leaving two days for various preparations. After the meeting, Li Chenglong summoned the main officers of the 1st Division of the Dawn Army, Yun Qian, Shen Menghua, and others to his office for detailed arrangements.
At 1 p.m., Li Chenglong, who had finished lunch with Yunlan and Li Yunhao, walked out of the Dawn Building. After his research last night, he finally managed to manufacture a short knife suitable for the special forces team using the space factory's production line. They were leaving the day after tomorrow, so he delivered it to them today and let them familiarize themselves with it.
Upon arriving at the special forces compound, the two soldiers on guard duty immediately saluted and said, "Greetings, Commander!" Li Chenglong returned the salute in perfect unison and said, "Thank you for your hard work and dedication." Only then did he go inside. At that moment, the special forces members were taking their lunch break. This was a habit they had developed; regardless of the season, they had to rest for one to two hours at noon to ensure they were in top condition when carrying out missions.
The winter special forces team's lunch break is from 1:00 PM to 2:30 PM, a total of one and a half hours. However, he had already contacted Yang Liu and Wang Shuang beforehand via his crystal phone, so as soon as he arrived, Yang Liu and the others came out. The group went to the special forces team's dedicated training ground behind the special forces compound. As soon as they arrived, Yang Liu said impatiently, "Team Leader Li, you said you've created a weapon exclusive to our special forces team, could you show it to us?"
Li Chenglong smiled and took out several daggers from his psionic space, giving one to each of Yang Liu, Wang Shuang, Wu Ruilan, and Dong Meng. The daggers were about 25 centimeters long, entirely black, with only the blades gleaming in the sunlight. The hilts were wrapped in a layer of exotic beast hide, making them very comfortable to hold, and included a small leather sheath for both protection and the user.
Li Chenglong then took out a dagger and infused it with spiritual energy. To the surprise of the four, the dagger's blade length increased significantly with the energy input. He then took out a super alloy battle sword and slashed at it with the dagger, breaking it in two. Next, he took out a crystal battle sword and slashed at it with the dagger, breaking it after three strikes as well.
Yang Liu and the others were speechless with astonishment. Li Chenglong smiled and said, "I've named this dagger Dragon Fang. Each member of your special forces team will have one. This dagger is very expensive, so I won't replace it if anyone loses it. As you can see, this dagger can be infused with supernatural power and can extend or shorten its blade at will, reaching a maximum length of 1.5 meters. Its sharpness is also extremely high; even a crystal battle knife wouldn't withstand many blows. Furthermore, its hardness is very high; even a level 10 strength-based supernatural power user couldn't break this Dragon Fang with their full strength. I believe that with this, your special forces team's combat effectiveness will definitely be improved."
Yang Liu happily stroked the Dragon Fang, but her hand was cut when she barely touched the blade. However, as a level 9 wood-type ability user, she didn't mind too much. Li Chenglong took out all the Dragon Fangs, each scabbard bearing the name of a special forces member; indeed, each person only had one. "Alright, you can familiarize yourselves with the Dragon Fangs this afternoon to prepare for later battles. I'm leaving now, no need to see me off."
With that, Li Chenglong left the four people who were still carefully examining the Dragon Fang behind. Yang Liu checked the time and found that it was already 14 PM. She immediately blew her whistle to signal the special forces soldiers to assemble. With such a good tool, she had to get her team members familiar with it as soon as possible.
After leaving the special forces compound, Li Chenglong went straight back to the 7th floor of the Shuguang Building. There was an upcoming combat operation, and everyone was busy. He also had a lot of things to take care of.
On January 15, 2026, Yun Lan and Zheng Yong led the 1st Division of the Dawn Army, two rocket battalions, two information support brigades, a portion of the equipment and logistics support troops, and 50 special operations soldiers—a total of 17000 soldiers—from the north gate of Dawn City, preparing to join forces with the resistance army to jointly combat the sea monsters. Li Chenglong, along with some high-ranking officials from Dawn City and the Dawn Army, as well as many residents of Dawn City, accompanied the army for a kilometer outside the city before stopping.
Yunlan's goal this time is to kill as many sea beasts as possible, and even any alien species that can help her level up. Leveling up is already slow for Awakened Ones, and with her pregnancy, she hasn't fought much for eight or nine months, so many others have caught up with her in level. However, she doesn't really care about that. The main concern is the sea beasts, zombies, alien beasts, and the impending arrival of aliens. Humanity is currently under numerous threats, and in order to better help Li Chenglong, she must level up as quickly as possible.
After two hours of marching, Yunlan's Dawn Army and Lei Qingcheng's resistance forces met up. The two women exchanged a brief greeting before continuing their march. To facilitate Yunlan's command of the battle, Li Chenglong also provided her with an all-terrain multi-functional tactical command vehicle, which greatly improved communication with Dawn City behind them and with the Qianyun base providing support from the north.
To ensure that all the sea monsters surging up from the sea could be devoured, Li Chenglong specifically requested cooperation from the Qianyun Base, which had already been relocated to Tianjin. General Sun Tianlong immediately agreed and dispatched his strongest division to participate in this joint operation.
After seeing off Yunlan's expeditionary force, Li Chenglong gathered Zheng Aiguo's 2nd Division together. Recently, some sea monsters had also gathered in the eastern part of the Shuguang Autonomous Region and showed signs of stirring. Now, he simply sent troops to eliminate them and put an end to his worries.
