"The rear is secure!"
Depp, who was in the central command base, breathed a long sigh of relief after receiving the reports from the various bases. Only God knew how much pressure he had been under!
His Majesty Twain had entrusted him with the expeditionary force that had ventured deep into the Abyss of Purgatory. Needless to say, this was a testament to Depp's immense trust in him. If he couldn't bring these future stars of hope back safely, Depp would die of guilt.
Although he knew that there would always be casualties in a war, Depp still hoped that these good kids could all return to Prandal safely.
Now, all the stable spatial nodes in the rear of the devil's territory had been occupied by the humans. The rapidly expanding temporary bases provided them with strong support. The abundant logistical support also ensured that they could stand firm in the face of an endless stream of demons, blocking them at the exit of the portal.
After a large number of demons had been transferred from the rear to the front line, the stability of the rear was the only thing that Barmetos was worried about. The stability of the rear had laid the foundation for the victory of the front line. No matter how bad it was, it had ensured the safety of the demons at the front line when they retreated.
After staring at the map for a while, Depp finally made a decision.
"Kundal!"
"Here!"
Kundal was the unlucky kid who was rescued by Twain and the others in the underground world. Due to his outstanding strength, he joined the Ellington Guards after leaving the underground world. Later on, under the stimulation of various resources provided by Twain, this guy leaped from the initial Silver-level Rank-6 to the current Guru-level Rank-8. He was already one of the top experts in the current army.
Now, he had been promoted to a general in one of the expeditionary army's legions.
"It's time to lead them out."
Depp tapped lightly on the map. Several red lines stretched out from the bases near them. After gathering at the frontline base, they went from one side of the Bloody Battlefield to the north and pierced directly into the Blackrain Plains.
"Yes, sir!"
Kundal saluted solemnly, then turned and left.
Time was precious. Every second could bring unpredictable consequences to the entire war. They had to act as quickly as possible.
After gathering all the soldiers under their command, they immediately activated the portal and quickly gathered at the frontline base. When they arrived at the frontline base, there were already soldiers preparing vehicles and weapons for them.
The specially modified vehicles were all in flight mode. They could ignore the scorching ground and flowing lava environment. At the same time, these vehicles were also equipped with an environment maintenance system similar to the "Shelter" soft armor, which could reduce the impact of the environment on the soldiers to a certain extent.
Behind the vehicle was a large-caliber machine gun mounted on the crossbeam. This machine gun could be used to block the demons from approaching the vehicle during the journey. Not only were they equipped with organic guns, but they were also equipped with several mobile missile launchers. These missile launchers could provide powerful firepower support when they broke into the battlefield.
Then, there was the "Thunderbolt" floating above the soldiers. This combat platform belonged to the Helicarrier series of flying combat platforms. It was equipped with a large number of firepower systems. What was more exciting was that, due to the development of artificial soul quantum computer technology, this flying combat platform used the core technology of the second generation. Its maneuverability and combat performance had improved by leaps and bounds. The number of operators needed to operate it had also been reduced by one-third. This meant that it could carry more combatants.
On the deck of the "Thunderbolt" was a single-person flying combat vehicle similar to a flying motorcycle. Originally, Tang En wanted to name it "Light Cavalry", but he was ridiculed for having the same name as the mobile missile launcher "Light Cavalry". So, he changed the name to "Dragon Knight". Although Dragon King Sasaglot scoffed at the name, he did not say anything about not allowing it to be used.
What Tang En did not expect was that after the soldiers heard that the vehicle was named Dragon Knight, they became extremely interested in its training and cultivated a group of good air units.
In addition, there were a large number of experimental weapons placed in the warehouse below the deck of the Thunderbolt. If all these ammunition were fired, it would probably be enough to raze the entire Red Lake to the ground. As an aviation combat platform, its firepower was definitely powerful.
In fact, strictly speaking, the Thunderbolt should not have appeared here. However, after the Helicarrier series of aerial combat platforms were developed and produced, they basically did not experience too many battles. In the battle against the demons' Corrupted Islands, the Helicarrier only existed as a replenishment platform. In the battle with the floating islands as the core, there was no room for it to play a role.
Therefore, this battle was actually to test the actual combat ability of the Thunderbolt and those experimental weapons on the battlefield.
"The energy system is operating normally. The energy has been replenished. The magic power output is stable. The Thunderbolt is in good condition. The hatch is now open. Soldiers are boarding the ship!"
"The inspection of the supply warehouse has been completed. It is confirmed that the medium and long-term combat plan can be implemented."
"The space anchoring device has been activated. The Return Crystal binding system has been activated. Soldiers may choose to bind the Return Crystal."
"The teleportation device has been inspected. Everything is normal. The emergency exit system is working normally!"
When the soldiers boarded the Thunderbolt one after another, the staff on the ship were also busy checking the various data to see if everything was normal. This was their first battle. If they could not show off their strength with such ample preparation, they would not be able to hold their heads high in front of their colleagues in the future.
The live situation here was directly transmitted to Depp in the rear central base through the Mana Network. Through the data sharing between the mainframe 'Thunderbolt' and the mainframe 'Ares', Depp's personnel could clearly observe the situation on the Thunderbolt.
"Let's hope this will be a success for the human army!"
Depp clenched his fists. He was unusually nervous.
Soon, thousands of soldiers boarded the Thunderbolt. Those who could board the Thunderbolt were soldiers who had obtained permission to engage in aerial combat. They would be part of the aerial combat forces, as well as special mecha paratroopers to participate in the battle.
"The soldiers have boarded the ship! The Thunderbolt is ready to depart at any time! "
"The army has assembled! All vehicles have been activated! "
"The vanguard has set off to scout the battlefield ahead! Our main force requests to depart immediately! "
Depp approved their request without hesitation. "Permission accepted. All troops, attack!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Vroom! Vroom! Vroom!
The roar of heavy engines resounded through the sky. From the bunkers hidden near the frontline base, a large number of flying vehicles suddenly surged out. Fully armed soldiers in armor were all on standby. They stared at the on-board radar with unusual vigilance. On the radar, the light spots that represented the vanguard were rapidly spreading out into the distance at an extremely fast speed. They were riding on a single flying combat vehicle, the "Dragon Knight."
The radar, which originally had a narrow range, suddenly expanded after receiving the feedback signal from the vanguard. It directly marked all the movements within a radius of tens of kilometers on the electronic map, so there was no need to worry about any unexpected situations at all.
"Everyone on alert! There's an unknown magical fluctuation two kilometers ahead! I suspect it's the Daemon that the demons were talking about — "
Before the vanguard could finish speaking, the magical fluctuation was already in front of him. It even predicted the speed of the vanguard and the vanguard, as well as the point of intersection. Then, with a loud boom, the ground cracked open. A gigantic and ferocious Daemon suddenly appeared on the battlefield. Its mouth was filled with dense rows of teeth, and it bit at the soldier.
Due to its speed, the soldier did not even have the chance to dodge. He fell into the Daemon's mouth.
"Captain!"
Not far away, another vanguard soldier saw this and was instantly enraged. He roared as he took out an RPG and fired a missile at the Daemon.
After being hit by the missile, the Daemon ignored it and continued to chew. After a while, it suddenly spat out a lump of metal. It was the Dragon Knight.
"There's no captain's body! He must have activated the Return Crystal to escape! "
"Quick, lure the Lava Devourer away! It's too dangerous! "
The Lava Devourer was like a cylinder with a diameter of tens of meters. In the middle of its mouth was a huge mouth filled with crisscrossing sharp teeth. It was very ferocious and terrifying. Moreover, it was born with the ability to move at high speed underground. When it attacked, it was very unexpected. Even the demons were very dangerous, not to mention the human army which was relatively more densely populated. This Demonic Beast was simply the natural nemesis of the human army!
"Where should we lure it?! We're already surrounded! "
The vanguard soldiers suddenly despaired. Through the detection of the radar, they had found more than ten abnormal fluctuations similar to the Lava Devourers around them.
And now, they were just approaching the Black Rain Plains.
At this time, General Kendall's order came from the earpiece. "Vanguard, listen up! Try to gather those Lava Devourers as much as possible. "
After receiving the order, the vanguard soldiers hesitated for a moment, then immediately began to take the initiative to attack those Lava Devourers.
And after those Daemons were attacked, they took the bait and began to chase after the vanguard soldiers.
In just a few moments, the black-red scorched earth began to crack. As the Lava Devourer advanced at high speed, rocks flew everywhere on the plains, and the cracks kept biting tightly onto the warriors who were riding on the dragon knights.
"I see you! — Now! Find a way to force them out! Then immediately use the Return Crystal to leave the battlefield! "
Force them out!? That sounded good! Other than using themselves as bait, what else could they do?!
But even so, they still carried out the order without hesitation. Of course, they all held the Return Crystal tightly. At least, they could comfort themselves that the Return Crystal could save their lives.
"Boom —"
The earth suddenly trembled violently. More than a dozen Lava Devourers drilled out of the ground one after another. Their bodies were still flowing with hot lava. They directly bit at the warriors in the air!
At this moment, a dazzling white light suddenly lit up in the distant sky!
