Chapter 187 When the tide comes
Zhuo Mi looked at the man in front of him.
He has a perfect figure, about 1.8 meters tall, and his black hair is swaying gently in the strong wind.
The most eye-catching thing is his eyes, which are sharp and bright, with a faint flash of green light, and an indescribable strange charm.
At this moment, he was looking at the sky and the gathering dark clouds in the distance. His face was calm and there was no expression on his face.
Between his handsome brows, the composure and confidence of a top professional level are clearly evident.
If his age hadn't been clearly written on the official website, Zhuo Mi would never have guessed that the person in front of him was only seventeen years old, a few years younger than himself.
Kurosawa looked at this young man in formal attire and immediately realized that he was the assistant sent by the Deep Sea City Alliance to work with him.
He stretched out his hand and shook the other person's hand.
"Hello, I am Kurosawa from the Jinling School."
"Hello, leader, I am Zhuo Mi. I am responsible for all matters in your life and work these days." Zhuo Mi said respectfully. "You can just call me Xiao Zhuo or Xiao Mi."
Takumi is actually twenty-four years old, but he doesn’t dare to show off in front of Kurosawa.
Top professions, in ordinary third-tier towns, are almost equivalent to the top group of special people.
In the face of strength and status, age is actually not important.
What's more, Kurosawa's strength is not limited to the top professional ranks.
"Then I'll trouble you." Kurosawa nodded. "Let's get in the car, and you can tell me about the current situation."
The two got into the car, and Kurosawa sat in the back seat, looking at the sky through the window.
The sky became darker in a moment.
He had just searched for news about Deep Sea City. Between ten and eleven o'clock in the morning, the first wave of ocean elves had actually swarmed onto the beach, but they were easily repelled by the Deep Sea City Alliance officials who organized their manpower in advance.
But the attack in the morning was just the prelude to this wave. It was considered an appetizer before the main meal. No one would let down their guard because of a small victory.
While driving, Zhuo Mi began to introduce the specifics of this mission to Kurosawa.
Shenhai City, like most coastal cities, is not the first time it has encountered a tidal disaster, so the general process and response experience are relatively rich.
Through advance observation at sea, the Deep Sea City Alliance set up three lines of defense on the landing beach and evacuated surrounding residents.
The first line of defense comes from the sea. Flying elves and ocean elves will harass the tides in the sea and in the sky, and at the same time serve as scouts to transmit intelligence to the alliance.
The second line of defense is the core battlefield for blocking the tide this time, with a coastline of dozens of kilometers long and one kilometer deep.
The third line of defense uses the strategic depth of the land to deploy various firepower and fortifications. If the second line of defense is breached, the final battle will be carried out relying on the third line of defense fortifications.
Using the ground as the main battlefield will help weaken the strength of the wild ocean elves in the tide, and at the same time allow the vast majority of elf masters to take advantage of their ground advantages.
The coastline, which is tens of kilometers long, is the second line of defense, and is divided into dozens of areas.
Elf divisions are assigned to various areas in small teams to guard and fight against the landing wild elves.
There will also be support from ground armed forces.
Although firearms cannot cause effective fatal injuries to elves, they can still cause some trouble to wild elves at the junior and intermediate stages. Moreover, the special firearms installed by the elves' armed forces are more powerful than ordinary firearms.
The suppressive force is enough.
The commander-in-chief of this fight against the tide is An Hong, the minister of the Deep Sea City Alliance, a master elf master with little experience.
The remaining power is roughly divided into three parts.
One is the elf master directly under the Deep Sea City Alliance branch led by An Hong, with two elites and more than 20 professional levels.
The second is the elf master of the Deep Sea City Executive Department, one elite level and more than eighty professional level.
Of course, most of the elf masters in the execution department are relatively mediocre in strength since they are professional-level people who use surgical techniques to artificially break through.
Finally, there are the twenty mercenaries from Kurosawa, who join the battlefield as "high-end" force supplements.
Most of the people who came all the way for employment missions were from top professions, with transitional elves, a small number of elites, and Kurosawa who had just begun to gain elite-level combat power.
After Kurosawa learned about the combat strength of this mission, he leaned back on his seat and closed his eyes, taking a nap to rest.
It is a special period and there are very few vehicles on the road.
The black car drove Kurosawa smoothly and arrived at the temporary camp set up in the coastal area.
Got out of the car.
The sturdy tents in the camp are fixed with steel nails tens of centimeters long dug deeply into the soil. The tents are crowded with people, most of them are armed personnel with live ammunition, and some elf masters can also be seen.
But the number is not too much.
This is not to say that the elves in Deep Sea City are all afraid of death, hiding in hiding, and unwilling to contribute to the defense of their homeland.
However, relatively weak elf masters are not allowed to enter the coastal area. Those who can reach the camp at this time are all elf masters with certain strength. When the tide comes, the weak elf masters cannot contribute to the fight against the disaster.
The power will only cause trouble.
Zhuo Mi led Kurosawa quickly between camps.
"This is Mr. Kurosawa."
The two came to a dark blue military tent that was obviously one size larger than the other tents. Zhuo Mi communicated quietly with a middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man holding a booklet was obviously doing registration work.
Hearing this, he looked at Kurosawa and nodded kindly.
This guy looks young, but has elite-level combat capabilities, and he doesn't dare to show any signs of neglect.
"Mr. Kurosawa, thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to come to Shenhai City to help us fight the tide! Please go inside, Minister Yasuhiro is already waiting for your arrival."
Kurosawa opened the tarp and walked into the tent.
There is a bright chandelier hanging on the top of the tent, a desk, several sofas, and a huge conference table.
There is a sand table placed on the conference table.
When he came in, several people gathered around the sand table holding small flags to discuss matters.
The man in the center of the crowd caught a glimpse of Kurosawa entering the tent, and his eyes lit up.
He stretched his spiritual energy and sensed the invisible aura wrapped around Kurosawa's body, and couldn't help but nod.
As a master elf master, even though he is inferior to his peers with many years of experience and experience, his eyesight is still extraordinary.
The moment he saw Kurosawa, he could vaguely sense that Kurosawa was quite strong.
This is a rather metaphysical feeling.
"Brother Kurosawa, I've finally waited for you."
The man is An Hong, the director of the Deep Sea City Alliance Branch.
He has long hair tied into a ponytail, which doesn't look out of place and is very natural.
He looks like he is in his twenties or thirties, but his real age is over seventy years old.
He held Kurosawa's hand tightly, looking very friendly, without any airs of a master-level strongman.
And this is indeed the case.
Ordinary professional level, even top professional or elite level combat power, he would not put on such a friendly attitude.
But at the age of seventeen, a top professional, professional-level elite with elite combat power, and a member of the Jinling School, no matter which label he was given, he had to take it seriously.
Kurosawa was a little flattered and smiled in surprise.
"Hello, Minister Anhong."
Even Kurosawa, who is not good at sociability, can clearly see that Yasuhiro means to show intimacy.
The few people who were suddenly left behind while discussing work at the conference table did not get angry because they were left out. They also looked at Kurosawa with smiles on their faces. They were obviously no strangers to Kurosawa.
"Just call me Brother Hong, don't be so harsh." An Hong laughed.
...
In the tent, Yasuhiro chatted with Kurosawa for a few words about home affairs, and then began to assign him general tasks. After explaining the deployment tasks, he let Kurosawa rest.
The rest tent that Kurosawa was assigned as a top profession was pretty good.
It looks simple and unpretentious from the outside, but it is fully furnished inside, which is rare in this period.
"Whoosh!"
The rain fell in patter.
The rainstorm has arrived!
Kurosawa opened the tent, and the atmosphere in the camp outside became tense as it rained.
Everyone knows that this heavy rain is no ordinary rain, but a prelude to the official arrival of the tide.
The campground became muddy, and people wearing rain boots kept carrying supplies under the water, making logistical preparations for the official arrival of the tide.
Kurosawa returned to his tent and fell asleep to the sound of rain.
The expected arrival time of the tide is around ten o'clock tomorrow morning, but they need to prepare their defenses five or six hours in advance.
You must seize the time to recharge your batteries.
Even in the pouring rain, there are many people patrolling the shore despite the heavy rain.
——
The rain keeps falling.
The precipitation exceeded the forecast of the Deep Sea City Alliance Meteorological Department.
Fortunately, the camp is located on a high platform on a slope, so it has a natural advantage in terms of water drainage.
At five o'clock in the morning, Kurosawa was woken up by Zhuo Mi calling his name outside the tent.
It was raining heavily outside and he had nothing to do. He simply practiced the exercise method and lay down on the bed to rest when he was tired.
He opened his eyes and stretched. His energy was replenished and he quickly arranged his clothes.
"Are we going to gather?" Kurosawa opened the tent canvas.
Zhuo Mi was waiting for him shivering in the rain, holding a strong big umbrella.
His trouser legs were completely soaked.
Kurosawa felt a little sorry when he saw this scene.
"Yes. Minister Anhong is summoning the elf divisions to deploy on the second line of defense." Zhuo Mi said loudly.
He had to amplify his voice, otherwise it would be difficult to hear clearly in the strong wind and rain.
"Then let's hurry up."
Kurosawa took a look at the camp. It was clearly five o'clock in the morning and it was raining heavily, but the camp was full of people coming and going.
Kurosawa summoned Little Shining and Nightmare.
Eat people's salary and do whatever they want.
He is preparing to quickly go to the d1 area to which he has been assigned.
When we met in the afternoon, Anhong had already informed him of the areas he needed to defend.
This time to fight against the tide, the defense at the elf division level was carried out in the form of a small team.
Elites and top professionals serve as team captains, leading 6-7 professional team members, as well as several formations of armed personnel.
Anhong leads the main force and is responsible for guarding the central core area. As a master-level expert, he can withstand the strength of more than ten brigades by himself.
The elite leadership team is responsible for guarding important nodes. Counting Kurosawa's team, there are a total of eight teams.
The top professional leadership squadron is responsible for defending the remaining areas, with the number of squads being twenty-one.
Zhuo Mi took Kurosawa into the car and drove to the D1 shoal.
Ten minutes later, we arrived at the location.
This is a flat and open beach with no natural barriers as far as the eye can see.
On weekdays, this is Shenhai City's high-quality tourist attraction, the Bihai Water Park, which attracts millions of tourists to Shenhai City every year.
But when the tide came, it became a gap in the long and narrow front.
A large number of sea elves can use this place to continuously flock to the shore.
"Captain Yang Xiongbo, Captain Tang Zhaowen..."
"Where are the captains? The Kurosawa team has arrived."
Zhuo Mi stopped a man in armed uniform and shouted loudly and asked.
When the man heard this, he looked towards Kurosawa. In the gloomy night with heavy rain, he couldn't see the specific appearance of the man next to Zhuo Mi.
But he still saluted Kurosawa with a serious expression, and then quickly pointed in a direction.
As the captain of the team, Kurosawa is the strongest person in the team. When the wave disaster arrives, it can be said that the safety of everyone in the team is closely related to him.
Elite-level combat power is beyond the reach of ordinary people, and even ordinary professional levels cannot match it.
Kurosawa pursed his lips.
The rain hit his face.
The rain was really heavy, so he didn't let Zhuo Mi continue to hold an umbrella in vain, but asked for a raincoat to put on him.
Although the Deep Sea City Alliance officially stated that this was a small wave, as Kurosawa personally, this was the first time he had been exposed to such a large-scale elf disaster event.
For the first time, he felt the terrifying power of a natural disaster, as well as the weakness of ordinary people in this kind of mass elven incident.
A junior elf or even an intermediate elf is very weak to today's Kurosawa, but if there are hundreds or thousands of them, even if Kurosawa can win, it will take a lot of time.
The number of elves and derivatives in a wave may be hundreds of thousands.
There are too many wild elves in the ocean.
You can understand the power of the tide just by looking at this continuous heavy rain.
Before the wild elves group arrived, nature seemed to sense something and responded to the majestic trend they were enveloping.
Kurosawa looked at the line where the sea and the sky meet in the distance, and bright lights flickered.
His heart couldn't help but feel tense, and he could vaguely feel that something huge was coming.
Kurosawa withdrew his gaze, and under the guidance of Zhuo Mi, he met with the members of the brigade he was responsible for in the tent.
Everyone basically became a drowned rat, but no one cared about it.
The captains of four armed squads and seven professional-level members.
One hundred armed men with guns and ammunition were patrolling and standing guard outside.
This is all the power to protect this 1.5-kilometer-long d1 area.
Kurosawa looked at the looks from the four team captains and seven professional members, his expression unchanged.
In fact, it was his first time to experience a tide, and he had no idea what was about to happen.
But as the strongest member of the team, he knew he couldn't panic at this time.
Even he is exposed as unstable, and those who rely on him may not be able to feel at ease.
Zhuo Mi had already introduced him to the general process and strategy of this defense in the car.
The armed men used guns to suppress fire, temporarily forcing the elves ashore to retreat, and then reduced the 1.5-kilometer-long defense range to two to three hundred meters.
This area is the combat range of Kurosawa and the remaining professional level elf masters.
As the captain, Kurosawa will need to act according to the situation and adjust and allocate strength at any time to deal with emergencies.
Kurosawa roughly explained the combat plan on the sand table.
"... Several of my fellow elf masters and I will beat most of the elves in the core area of d1 until they lose the ability to fight. We will kill some of the individual leaders and drive the elf group as far as possible to the central beach area.
I’ll leave the work to the captains.”
"yes!"
In fact, the combat plan is not complicated, and the four captains of the armed squad know the specific details of the combat, how to change shifts and arrange firepower during the process, better than Kurosawa.
It's just that Kurosawa has now become the backbone of everyone, and the words coming out of his mouth seem to have a different weight.
Chapter completed!
