"Da da da —!!"
The sound of gunfire rang out.
When Fangzheng opened his eyes, he could clearly see the bright red flames and explosions in the distance under the night sky. The sound of gunfire was endless. Fighter jets whizzed past, and he could even faintly see the flashes from the cannons and tanks set up on the defensive position.
"The battle has begun."
Fangzheng yawned out of boredom. He squinted his eyes and stood up to stretch. The other children had also woken up. They quickly packed up their belongings and looked at the battlefield in front of them with uneasy and solemn expressions. Because Fangzheng did not say anything, the children just watched quietly at the side, but their eyes were filled with uneasiness and worry.
Could the SDF win?
Perhaps so, because up until now, Fangzheng and the others had not received any signal or order for reinforcements. But Fangzheng knew very well why. The SDF was a heroic force that thought they had defeated the Protogut Beasts in the second Protogut War. There was no way they would ask for help from the Cursed Children, who also had a monster bloodline. For them, whether they were devoured by the Protogut Beasts or asked for help from the Cursed Children, it would all be considered a failure.
Time ticked away.
The sound of gunfire at the frontline began to weaken, and the roars of the Protogut Beasts were almost inaudible. Then, after who knew how many seconds or minutes had passed, everything became silent again. There was no other sound except for the thick smoke that filled the battlefield.
Fangzheng looked at the little angel beside him. Nimf closed her eyes and shook her head.
Total annihilation? I knew it.
"What about their numbers?"
"There were a total of 5,000 Protogut Beasts. The SDF wiped out 2,325 of them …. The SDF has about 3,200 people …."
"So?"
"Now we have to face nearly 7,000 Protogut Beasts."
"I knew it would be like this."
Fangzheng raised his hand. The next moment, Leech appeared in his hand.
"Alright, prepare for battle! Remember, everyone is allowed to unleash 50% of their power. Don't advance recklessly. Our first goal is to take back the defensive position that those idiots abandoned, and at the same time, stop the Protogut Beasts from invading further! Xia Shi, you'll be in charge of the frontline command. Nimf will be in charge of the rear support. Move out! "
"Yes!"
Hearing Fangzheng's order, Xia Shi nodded and put the automatic rifle back on her back. Then, everyone saw a blur in front of them, and the next moment, the girl's petite figure appeared on the plain at the foot of the hill. In front of her, the pitch-black fog gradually dispersed. Hundreds and thousands of insect-like Protozoa screeched as they pounced out from the fog, charging forward.
"…"
Facing the enemy in front of her, Xia Shi's expressionless face revealed a trace of heaviness. She raised her right hand, and her eyes began to turn bright red. Soon, the emerald green psionic radiance condensed in her hand and turned into a dazzling ball of light. At this moment, even the clouds in the sky seemed to be attracted by this power and began to spiral and condense. A dazzling silver snake descended from the sky and landed in the girl's hand.
Then, Xia Shi clenched his right hand, looked at the countless Protogut Fauna in front of him, and pressed hard on the ground.
"— — — —!!!"
At the next moment, a circular lightning storm instantly spread with the girl as the center. Countless lightning bolts condensed into a huge circle that spun into a storm, pulling all Protogut Fauna that approached the girl into the sky. Then, under the bombardment of lightning and psionic energy, they were completely turned into pitch-black charcoal and ashes.
"Heyahhhh!!"
With a scream, Lanyuan Yanzhu leaped high up from the hillside. The two rabbit ears on top of her head stood up straight, and on the girl's feet, bright red psionic energy began to erupt, wrapping around her body like lava. Following that, Yan Zhu whistled through the air and landed on the battlefield like a meteor falling from the sky. Accompanied by a loud boom, a large hole suddenly appeared in the midst of the Protogut Beasts that were charging forward. The violent explosion and impact blasted the surrounding Protogut Fauna into pieces. Yan Zhu didn't let go of this opportunity. She jumped up again almost as soon as she landed, and at the same time, swept her right leg forward.
Boom!!
Another red psionic energy beam shot out from her leg, blasting forward like a cannonball, instantly repelling another wave of Protogut Fauna.
"Alright then, I'm going too, Big Brother."
At that moment, Bushcui pulled the hat on her head, lifted her head, and nodded to Fangzheng with a smile. Then, she bent down and raised her right hand. In a loud swish, a purple psionic energy light blade emerged from her hand. Then, black smoke filled the air, enveloped her, and disappeared into the shadows of the night.
The Protogut Fauna's attack was stopped almost as soon as it erupted. The 'cursed children', who possessed the dual powers of Protogut Fauna and psionic energy, had gone through tough training and their strength was almost comparable to Level 1 Battle Elites of Astral. The 35 'cursed children' formed three lines of defense. The frontline troops led by Xia Shi were responsible for eliminating most of the Protogut Fauna, while the support troops in the middle were responsible for dealing with the remaining Protogut Fauna. The support troops at the back were always ready to swap with the frontline fighters to ensure that the others had enough time to rest and recover.
"The Protogut Fauna this time is indeed different from before."
Standing on the hillside and monitoring the battlefield ahead, Fangzheng knitted his brows. During this period of time, in order to 'train' his troops, he often went to the frontline with the others to observe and battle the Protogut Fauna. But at that time, the behavior of these Protogut Beasts was very average, or it could be said that they had completely lost their rationality. Other than eating and sleeping, their only remaining instinct was to attack human settlements, as if they would not turn back even if they ran into a wall. But this time, even though the Protogut Fauna attacked fiercely in the beginning, after Xia Shi, Bushcui, and the others attacked head-on, they seemed to realize that the opponents this time weren't easy to deal with. They gradually retreated as though they were trying to lure the enemies deeper in.
But fortunately, with Xia Shi and Nimf's help, the 'cursed children' who activated the full-map radar wouldn't be fooled. Under Xia Shi's leadership, they fought steadily and steadily, advancing step by step to recapture the defensive positions taken down by the Protogut Fauna.
And at that moment, Nimf's voice sounded in Fangzheng's ears again.
"Master, air support from the rear is here."
"Oh?"
Upon hearing Nimf's words, Fangzheng glanced at the sky and saw a few fighter jets whizzing past. It seemed that the big shots at the rear had also noticed that something was wrong and planned to send another high-altitude bombardment to provide air support.
Fangzheng wasn't worried that they would "accidentally" bomb their own people. After all, Nimf was watching from the side. If something went wrong … .hehehe, wasn't it common for the missiles to fail to fire?
But … .would it really go so smoothly?
Whoosh —!!
As if in response to Fangzheng's speculation, the moment the fighter jets appeared on the battlefield, countless beams of light suddenly burst out from behind the Protogut Fauna. The beams cut through the sky and flew towards the fighter jets like anti-aircraft artillery.
Perhaps it was because they did not expect the Protozoa to be capable of "air defense", the fighters were not too vigilant. By the time they realized the situation was not right, it was already too late. Although they tried their best to dodge and pull up to avoid the attack, Although they tried their best to dodge and pull up to avoid the attack, they were still hit by the sudden rain of light and exploded into fireballs in mid-air.
"Everyone, be careful! Dodge!!"
The whistling light beams fell to the ground like arrows. At this moment, Xia Shi and the others hurriedly retreated. Fortunately, they had psionic shields on their bodies, so even if they were accidentally hit, they wouldn't suffer any damage.
But ….
"As expected, the troublesome things are coming."
Fangzheng raised his head and looked ahead.
