"Reporting to HQ, Sixth Battalion is moving towards eleven!"
"Third Battalion has occupied one position!"
"Detected a powerful magic power source approaching. Need to inform Air Knight to calibrate and intercept the signal!"
"This is Lightning. Understood."
"Tank Teams 19 and 20 are in contact with the enemy. Target is the blade beasts!"
With the entry of the ground troops, the command post immediately became bustling with activity. Correspondents were in charge of categorizing the information they received into the hands of the strategists, who would then provide feedback on the sand table map for the decision makers to make.
At this moment, there were dozens of red flags and squares on the sand table. They represented the infantry, artillery, and armored divisions of the First Army. From the overall situation, the initial stages of the plan were progressing smoothly. The red markings were spreading outwards with the Bottomless Land as the center.
The Sky-sea Realm had clearly sensed the sudden appearance of the troops as a portion of the monsters began to shift their targets and pounce at the First Army. However, in the face of the rapidly forming formation, sporadic attacks were no different from suicide.
Through the Distortion Door, the troops on the other side of the sea were surging into the lone island. According to the predetermined plan, the operation would soon enter the search phase.
This was also the most uncertain part of the entire plan — no one knew where the Guardian was, how they would appear, or if they would open the path to the Realm of Mind.
"I'll leave the next command to you," Anna said to Iron Axe, Edith, and the rest.
"Do you have to go alone?" Vendy's expression was filled with reluctance and worry.
"This was agreed upon from the beginning." Her voice wasn't loud, but it was firm. "I'm not good at leading troops into battle, so I can't help anyone here. Besides, the Guardian might vary from person to person. If I were to stay in the air, I might miss the only chance to meet them. "
"Let her go. I'll watch over her." Nightingale had already changed into a neat combat suit. Not only did she have the pistol Roland had given her by her waist, she also had a semi-automatic rifle and a longsword on her back.
Vendy could only hug Anna. "You must return safely, Your Highness."
"Yes, I will," the latter replied seriously before looking at Phyllis. "Are the God's Punishment Witches ready?"
Phyllis nodded. "Everyone, be on standby."
"Very well, let's go!" Anna resolutely walked out of the command center.
…
"This is Malt's gift to you."
"Thank you." Danny took the bullet, loaded it into the chamber, and shot it into the head of a Sea Ghost that was approaching.
As a wandering unit on the battlefield, the Precision Archer could choose his own battle location most of the time. As always, he chose the most dangerous outer region, following closely behind those steel chariots.
There would be no machine guns or artillery in this area, so the pressure from the enemy would be the greatest. He had long noticed that although the tanks of the First Army were powerful, they lacked cover from the sides and rear. Especially around the sinkhole, there were stone tablets of various shapes everywhere, which made it impossible for the people in the vehicles to see the approaching enemies.
And this kind of venue was simply designed for him.
"Be careful, there's a big guy 150 meters to the right."
"Understood."
Danny peeked out from behind a stone tablet and saw a medium-sized blade beast sneaking around the back of a tank in an attempt to launch a sneak attack.
Although these monsters were not made of steel, their lethality and agility were not to be underestimated. Especially their scythe-like front claws, when filled with magic power, they could penetrate the armor of a tank.
He slowly pushed a new bullet into the chamber and raised the rifle in slow motion — but Danny did not aim at the target, but moved it into the air. According to the combat manual, the blade beasts had thick armor on their heads, and it was difficult for normal bullets to kill them in one shot. Furthermore, before the enemy launched an attack, they would be extremely wary of the possible threats around them, and it was not recommended for soldiers to face them alone. Thus, he had to wait for a more suitable opportunity to strike.
And that was the moment the enemy launched a sneak attack.
The blade beast did not notice Danny, who was like a statue. It crawled to the ambush range, spread its thin wings, and suddenly leaped towards the tank!
At the same time, Danny pulled the trigger.
Following a gunshot, the bullet accurately penetrated the exposed frontal bone of the blade beast and entered its skull. The blade beast instantly froze and glided a few meters due to inertia before falling heavily to the ground — but at this moment, other than twitching, it was no longer a threat.
"You're still so powerful."
"That's because you're watching me." Danny smiled and patted Malt's head. Just as he was about to look for his next target, he suddenly realized that more than ten Sea Ghosts had gathered around him.
While he was concentrating on the blade beasts …
"Tsk."
Danny pulled his partner behind him, then leaned against the stone tablet and raised his spear.
Now that it was impossible to escape, he only wanted to know how many Sea Ghosts he could kill before he was killed.
But at this moment, an unbelievable scene appeared. The Sea Ghosts did not swarm up to tear him into pieces, but instead started biting each other! The grass was instantly filled with the pungent smell of blood. Until the last Sea Ghost fell, there was not a single complete corpse around.
Then, a group of men and horses walked out from behind. Although they were also wearing the uniform of the First Army, their appearances were obviously different.
They were Mojin's troops from the Southernmost Region.
"Precision Shooter?" The leader sized up his weapon and emblem. "Why are you here alone? Where's your protector? "
"Farry —" Another person tugged on the former's sleeve and said embarrassedly, "If you don't mind, you can temporarily come with us."
"I didn't act alone, but I still have to thank you." Danny had already realized that this warrior who was called Farry was definitely not an ordinary person. "As for what happens next, I still hope that I can —"
"Kaboom!"
The tanks in front suddenly fired a series of concentrated cannons.
Everyone turned their heads and saw more than ten ugly Nest Mothers slowly appearing on the horizon. They were surrounded by a group of blade beasts, crawling forward while withstanding the bombardment of the field cannons. At the same time, the ribs on their backs opened up, revealing the intestine-like organs below.
"It's the Venom Nest Mother!" Farry frowned and waved his arm. "Quick, find cover! Bring the anti-demon grenades over! "
That was no longer a target that firearms could deal with.
The tanks also began to reverse to disperse the formation.
At this moment, the Sky Knight's whistling came from above —
Several biplanes swooped down and dropped bombs on the Nest Mothers. The ground was instantly filled with pillars of fire! Amidst the violent explosions and rolling smoke, those flames were like bone-corroding things that stuck tightly to the enemy's body. The latter let out a shrill scream and wanted to escape from the sea of fire. However, on land, their movements were not much faster than worms. In a short while, the Nest Mother was completely silent.
Cheers and whistles rang out from the troops.
Danny even saw the pilot in the low-flying cockpit proudly giving them a thumbs up.
Then, after the dive, the Heaven's Wrath turned around and launched a pincer attack with the armored troops.
