Chapter 97: Chapter 71: Crushing Defeat! [Vote for Monthly Pass]

As the command resounded, the talismans simultaneously ignited.

Zheng Shiduo was still in that slow-recovery state faced with death, yet in front of him, two layers of shallow golden light had appeared.

The large head of the Special Winged Dragon collided with this golden light, not directly with Zheng Shiduo’s body, but it added a force of recoil to him...

A sensation of lightness in his back allowed Zheng Shiduo’s falling speed to rapidly decrease, shedding most of the impact force...

Suddenly!

An ancient bronze spear pierced into Zheng Shiduo’s field of vision from the lower left corner!

Zheng Shiduo plummeted toward the ground, the Special Winged Dragon crashed into the artillery tower, and a dark figure clad in black clothing and a black helmet, holding the green-tainted cold weapon spear, stabbed it into the Special Winged Dragon’s hard ’face’!

It pierced through!

Zheng Shiduo’s eyes widened as his body slammed heavily onto the ground. The golden light around him disappeared, and his slow vision returned to normal.

He stared dumbfounded at the scene before him:

The mysterious Spiritual Ability User codenamed Black Storm was now hanging in mid-air with both hands on the cold weapon spear, driving it deeper into the Special Winged Dragon’s brain!

The Special Winged Dragon struggled violently, the Spiritual Ability Users rushing toward it were knocked away one by one, and emerald green blood sprayed outward!

The spear stabbed deeper and deeper!

The Special Winged Dragon suddenly shook its Bone Wings with such force that, despite being under fire, it struggled and took to the sky, shooting straight up.

"Boss, Boss!"

Zheng Shiduo, after all, was a veteran of countless battles. He had already leapt to his feet and yelled:

"Stop firing! It’s dead! It’s already dead!"

The Special Winged Dragon, having risen over thirty meters high, let out a mournful cry and lifelessly glided down.

The figure wearing the black helmet, with an agile flip, pulled out the long spear and stood atop the Special Winged Dragon’s back, descending with it from the sky.

Amongst the faint roar, the Special Winged Dragon crashed next to the artillery tower.

Wang Jixuan, with his left hand carrying the spear, floated down. He lifted his helmet slightly towards Zheng Shiduo and, wearing his tactical gloves, patted him on the shoulder, praising him with a statement:

"Well done."

"Eh... can I admit I was almost scared to piss myself..."

A ’thank you’ got stuck at the tip of Zheng Shiduo’s throat and eventually turned into a weak greeting:

"Have you always been this awesome?"

Previously?

Wang Jixuan faintly smirked.

If the poor Daoist were here before, the human forces wouldn’t have wasted a single bullet.

The surrounding group of Spiritual Ability Users, bearing injuries, immediately withdrew. They continued to support the defensive line and searched for Mimic Blade Beasts within the camp.

Cheers erupted non-stop through the tactical earpiece.

Uncle Tai and Wan Xiaoqi were excitedly shouting because Wang Jixuan had taken part in killing a Special Winged Dragon.

The camp’s Commander laughed aloud, calling for the mecha units to mobilize. With two Special Winged Dragons dealt with by their side, the Blade Beasts’ aerial advantage was utterly gone.

Wang Jixuan asked, "Can we do it one more time? Just like the wave marks you released earlier, there are still two Special Winged Dragons in the sky."

"That..."

Zheng Shiduo said with a frown:

"I can unleash the taunting content of the wave marks at any time, as that is a bit of my true feelings, but I need to wait a week before I can release those wave marks again; this part of my spiritual power is almost depleted."

Wang Jixuan nodded.

Just then, the howl of fighter jets suddenly cut through the sky; six specially modified fighters flew over the camp.

Equipped with dogfighting missiles and airborne artillery, the fighters, in groups of three, targeted one Special Winged Dragon each, initiating an aerial pursuit.

The Arm Cannons joined the battlefield, adding to the symphony of war;

Short-range dogfighting missiles released their stunning tail flames.

"The air force is here for support!" Uncle Tai yelled excitedly.

The human forces’ counteroffensive began!

Within the camp, over twenty metallic house covers were lifted, and a total of eighteen light and medium mechas, pushed up by the semi-submersible raising platform, slowly ascended.

Most of the light mechas were designed in a humanoid fashion; they were powerful and agile, their main mode of attack included shoulder cannons, arm cannons, chest and leg missile wells, and self-destruction of their power core.

The medium mechas, based on the humanoid design, had many additional modules rendering them relatively slower, but heavily armed.

These mechas quickly assembled in the direction of the approaching sub-king level blade beast.

Zheng Shiduo’s earpiece transmitted the Commander’s shouting as he looked up towards ’Black Storm’, who was far off, and immediately chased after him.

"Boss! The Commander is calling for you to join them!"

"Hmm?"

Wang Jixuan seemed puzzled, reluctantly glancing at the two Mimic Blade Beasts...

Crystal Cores.

Zheng Shiduo pointed towards the armored vehicle beneath an Electromagnetic Gun turret in the center of the camp.

"It wasn’t me who called out!"

Zheng Shiduo hastily explained:

"It’s the Commander, probably wants you to participate in the upcoming assault mission."

...

Assault mission.

The General Level Blade Beast that appeared outside the C area surface camp was the slow-moving, thick-skinned ’Siege Hammer’ type.

This type of General Level Blade Beast wasn’t difficult to deal with; just destroy its limbs, and it could temporarily lose its ability to move; but if it reached the human defensive line, it would easily smash through the defenses, allowing a large number of Blade Beasts to flood into the camp, subjecting the six thousand stationed warriors and three thousand logistics personnel to slaughter.

To confront this kind of General Level Blade Beast, C-level Spiritual Ability Users, mecha squads, unarmored Battle Girls, and high-performance explosive burying and blasting tactics were typically used.

This was the so-called [assault mission].

Wang Jixuan was called together with a dozen Spiritual Ability Users in front of the Commander’s armored vehicle.

This Commander, in his forties and sporting a full beard, was sitting at the back door of the vehicle, organizing the Spiritual Ability Users into groups, and issuing precise combat tasks.

They were in groups of four, each group equipped with two high-explosive charges. They had to precisely locate the inner joint of the General Level Blade Beast’s legs to plant the charges; otherwise, even such explosives wouldn’t be sufficient to breach them.
