The pack of snake-dogs charging at the forefront froze instantly, their wild howls turning into terrified whimpers. Many even instinctively cowered and retreated. Their once ferocious charging formation crumbled in an instant, descending into chaos, with some even trampling on their own kind.
The chaos within the herd is the best signal to attack.
"Eliminate the threatening unit."
At that moment, a pure white beam of light, like lightning tearing through the gloom, shot out from a newly opened airdrop pod.
Bai Yuekui's Pure Candle mech, with a gentle flap of its four Returning Origin Light Wings, traversed hundreds of meters and fearlessly charged into the chaotic front of the beast horde.
She didn't even use the Tang sword Alaya-vijnana behind her back; she simply raised her right hand gracefully.
The golden patterns flowing on Jingzhuhao's arm lit up instantly, and an energy blade, made entirely of golden energy and even longer and sharper than a physical Tang sword, extended out in an instant.
"Light Slash..."
With her cool voice, she casually swung the energy blade horizontally.
A crescent-shaped golden blade of light detached from the blade and silently sliced through the air.
"laugh!"
Wherever the light blade passed, seven or eight menacing snake-dogs in front of them, along with a thick concrete wall behind them, were cleanly severed.
The cross-section was as smooth as a mirror, and the upper part slowly slid down, stirring up a cloud of dust.
Before those snake-dogs could even howl, their cores were completely annihilated by the pure energy contained in the strike.
Almost at the same time that Bai Yuekui made his move.
"call out!"
"Boooooooh!!"
From several high points on the flanks of the battlefield, numerous sniper beams, their trails almost invisible, traversed the entire battlefield with astonishing precision, arriving at their targets in an instant, like a judgment from outer space.
These beams were aimed at the earth roars hiding behind the herd, their vocal sacs at the necks fully charged and about to unleash crimson energy waves.
"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!"
The beam of light flashed, and the Earth Roar that it hit exploded like a balloon punctured by a needle. The highly compressed energy inside instantly went out of control, blasting the Earth Roar's upper body to pieces, with flesh and blood mixed with energy debris flying everywhere.
In just one round of sniping, hundreds of spots in the ruins lit up, and nearly 90% of the red dots representing the Earth Roar's energy accumulation went out.
"87% of the remote threat units (Ground Roar) have been eliminated."
Hanxing reported promptly, and the message rang clearly in everyone's tactical headsets. She calmly moved the muzzle of her armored sniper cannon, searching for any stragglers.
Chapter 258 Monarch-level Flower Calyx Beast
"Warning: Multiple large, high-density life essence reactions have been detected, rapidly rising from the depths of the ruins. Energy spectrum analysis confirms they are mutated Devouring Beasts, numbering thirty-seven. Their coordinates have been marked and shared across the entire tactical network."
"Alarm! A monarch-level target has appeared. All combat units, proceed with the engagement plan." Chen Xin had already established contact with everyone's electronic devices.
The atmosphere across the entire Allied forces instantly changed.
The shadow soldiers gripped their weapons tightly, and the mech warriors activated even stronger energy outputs.
The real test has only just begun.
As Hanxing's warning echoed through the tactical network, the Allied forces' formation immediately underwent a subtle change.
The true elite forces are beginning to take over the battlefield.
"Roar……"
More and more packs of snake-dogs poured out of the ruins, carrying the instinctive fear brought by King Mark's oppressive aura. Driven by some higher will, they launched an even more frenzied charge, and the dark red tide almost submerged the newly established defensive line.
Just then, Xuanzhong, clad in his Thousand-Jin Armor, strode with a gait that shook the earth, and walked to the very front of the defensive line.
He slammed the massive shield on his left arm, which was as tall as the mecha, into the ground with a force that seemed to pierce through the earth's core.
"Boom!"
The moment the shield made contact with the ground, a ring of earth-yellow energy ripples spread out.
"Stand firm, go all out!"
As soon as Xuan Zhong finished speaking, a huge, semi-transparent regional shield with shimmering fine energy veins suddenly appeared around the giant shield, like a defensive wall that appeared out of thin air.
The surging beast tide crashed into this energy barrier and was successfully intercepted. Whether it was the sharp claws tearing or the fangs gnawing, they could only stir up ripples on the surface of the shield and could not cross the line even half a step.
The momentum of the beast tide was abruptly halted, and they huddled together in front of the shield in a chaotic mess.
"Well done, Xuanzhong!"
A rough voice rang out. Just as the beast horde was huddled together in front of the shield, to Xuan Zhong's side and rear, the ferocious heavy cannon on the right arm of Shi Potian's Xingtian mecha had been fully charged, and the muzzle lit up with a destructive white light.
"Clearance!"
Shi Potian laughed heartily and pulled the trigger.
"boom!!!"
A massive plasma shockwave, like a runaway dragon, roared out of the cannon and crashed straight into the densest part of the horde of beasts crowding in front of the shield.
There were no screams, only the roar of energy annihilation.
Wherever the shockwave passed, a large number of snakes and dogs instantly vaporized like ice and snow under the scorching sun, carving out a scorched ravine hundreds of meters long, several meters wide, and bottomless in the ground, with molten lava at the edges.
With a single strike, hundreds of snake-dogs were wiped off the face of the earth.
On the other side of the battlefield, the fighting style is completely different.
Lan's blue-silver armor resembled an elegant sailfish. She hovered in mid-air, her hands seemingly drawing back to perform the "All Streams Return to Their Source" technique.
She forcibly gathered and controlled the sparse moisture in the air, along with the water seeping from the broken underground pipes.
In an instant, large areas of the ground became muddy and then solidified into a highly viscous, superglue-like fluid swamp.
Dozens of snake-dogs that rushed into the area immediately found themselves in a precarious situation, their limbs tightly bound by the viscous fluid, and the more they struggled, the deeper they sank.
"Lan, leave the rest to me!"
Yan Jin's Blazing Sky Armor crashed into the swamp area like a burning meteor, his claw-shaped fists spewing out powerful jets of energy.
"Burn everything!"
A torrent of plasma flames erupted from his arms, no longer a single jet of fire, but as if it had come to life, transforming into countless roaring fire serpents that swiftly burrowed into the viscous swamp.
The extreme high temperature collided violently with the cold water energy, bursting out a large amount of high-pressure steam and making a hissing sound.
The trapped snake-dogs were first scalded by the boiling steam, their skin torn and bleeding, and then completely devoured by the following plasma flames, leaving not even bones behind, only a charred mark on the spot.
On the other side, two ghostly figures darted through the shadows of the ruins at a speed too fast for the naked eye to detect.
One was Ye Lan from the Moon Palace, whose ghostly armor perfectly absorbed light, making her appear like a true phantom. The other was Vera from the Space Pirates, whose chameleon camouflage on her venomous fang armor made her almost blend into her environment.
Their targets are those elite individuals who blend in with ordinary snakes and dogs, are larger, have more ferocious bone spurs, or are able to command small herds of animals.
"Shh!"
A barely perceptible flash of light appeared, and an elite snake-dog that was about to pounce on the soldiers on the flank suddenly froze. A small hole appeared in the core of its chest cavity, and its massive body crashed to the ground.
Ye Lan's figure flashed by in the shadow of its fall.
Almost at the same time, another elite snake-dog not far away suddenly came to life, its shadow wrapping around its limbs and neck like a rope, and then twisting violently.
At the same time, several poisoned blades shot out from the void, piercing its joints and eye sockets, killing it instantly.
Vera's alluring figure emerged from behind the broken wall beside her, a wisp of black smoke still lingering at her fingertips.
Vera said through an encrypted channel, with a hint of mockery, "This level of Devouring Beast poses no threat to us."
Ye Lan said, "There are many of these monsters; they can wear you down."
Behind the battlefield, Jock's tattered Monarch armor resembled a frenzied conductor, with multiple mechanical tentacles on his back flailing wildly.
"Scrap Recycling Cannon, fire!"
Clumps of viscous, highly corrosive metal scrap shot out, stuck to the herd of beasts, and exploded, instantly paralyzing several snake-dogs.
"Mad proliferation, suicide squad, get the hell out of here!"
Several mechanical tentacles detached from the main body, rapidly deforming and combining in mid-air to form several crooked robots. After rushing into the horde of beasts, they exploded with a bang, instantly clearing out a small area.
Jock's mechanical tentacles and swarms of drones formed a continuous sea of low-level units, effectively relieving pressure on the main battlefield.
Echoing him from afar was Li Pojun's Giant Spirit Armor, a heavy mech whose storm-spinning cannons on both arms never stopped, spewing out deadly metal storms.
"Hahaha, that was so satisfying."
He spotted the clump of waste that Jock had shot out, which was attached to the large snake-dog, and activated his ability.
The metal fragments inside the scrap were instantly detonated, blasting the snake-dog to pieces from the inside.
Although their attack methods are quite different, they complement each other in a wonderful way, cleverly forming a comprehensive and destructive firepower network.
Behind them, Su Mu's Shennong Armor always radiated a soft yet firm milky white and emerald green glow.
She held out her hands, and the bio-particle diffuser continued to operate, healing wounded soldiers on the front lines.
A soldier's armor was torn apart by the claws of a snake-dog, and the deep wound, exposing bone, healed at a visible speed under the green light.
The kings finally erupted in fury and made a collective appearance.
"Boom!!!"
The earth trembled violently, and the largest section of ruins in the center of the battlefield suddenly bulged upwards before exploding completely.
Hundreds of enormous creatures emerged from the ground, surrounded by countless serpentine, writhing eels.
They are nearly ten meters tall, with a twisted humanoid form, walk on four legs, and have skin covered with thick, grayish-white bone armor. Their joints shimmer with eerie blue energy patterns.
What is most striking are their enormous tails, which resemble unopened flower calyxes, and their huge mouths, split to the roots of their ears and filled with sharp teeth.
Chapter 259 Future Crisis
A king-level calyx beast, the lord of this area.
As soon as they appeared, they let out a deafening roar, and powerful mental pressure mixed with the infection of crimson pigment spread, causing many front-line soldiers to feel dizzy.
Immediately afterwards, thick, pungent-smelling bromine mist gushed from the gaps in their bones, instantly forming a solid purple mist-like shield.
Several tentative plasma shells hit the shield, but only caused it to ripple slightly, with negligible effect.
