Chapter 416: Chapter 414: Situation Escalates

"It’s... it’s the Emperor..." Wang Ye muttered.

Despite its transformed appearance, the sudden sight of this face on the communication interface still stunned many in the array for a while, after all, they couldn’t intuitively perceive the size of this thing through the HUD.

The gigantic Zhao Ling opened its mouth and then spewed a green beam of light towards the northern plains, sweeping across quickly.

On the dark horizon, a series of dull explosions followed, and over 200 green dots on Wang Ye’s helmet HUD extinguished instantly.

The frequency was filled with shouting and cursing, Wang Ye felt the helicopter shake slightly, he grabbed the handle, but his teammate beside him shook him, crying, "Did you hear that, Yezi?!"

"Stay calm!" Wang Ye said.

"The remote fire array just got wiped out! Yezi! My brother was there! My brother was there!!" his teammate cried, shaking him.

"We are in battle!!" Wang Ye yelled.

A large group of blue flying objects appeared in the night sky, caught by Wang Ye’s visor.

The helicopter raised its altitude to evade, Wang Ye gripped the machine gun, and shattered a dozen flying monster ladies, in the distance, a line of fire emerged, the silhouette of the mountains faintly shadowing against the backdrop of the night.

At that moment, the massive figure within the black mist retracted its head, a gigantic tail swung across the sky.

It seemed very slow but in reality, the area of Fengrao City’s cauldron-like structure wasn’t small... it crouching on top could quickly turn around, speed was actually quite swift!

Wang Ye heard a harsh sound of wind breaking, and with a snap, the sound of the upper steel beams of the cauldron breaking came, Wang Ye looked up, the monster’s tail had already wrapped around a small cluster of debris at the very top.

Then, something unexpected happened.

The huge figure in the black smoke seemed to twist, and another head emerged from the smoke, a dragon head! That was not all, the very tip of the cabinet building was effortlessly severed by the monster’s tail, rolling down with the sloped surface, falling towards the area below.

The black wreckage was just like a small town, the cars, staircase debris, and chunks of steel and concrete falling during the roll had already smashed the surrounding buildings and elevators to pieces, in mere seconds, this object tumbled and flew from hundreds of meters high and crashed into the factory area on the ground.

The lights on the ground almost disappeared instantly, power was cut off, dust and explosions arose, and soon, a sea of fire rose up within the indiscernible dark smoke below.

On Wang Ye’s cheek, a large cluster of green dots went out again, he knew that the infantry troops responsible for evacuating the civilians below might have all been sacrificed.

"The situation has escalated! Fengrao City is entering a wartime state! Authorize unrestricted firepower coverage, we must eliminate that monster!" At this moment, the Commander-in-chief issued an order through the communication channel.

The air force array rejoined the sequence, bringing along a mid-air refueling aircraft.

"I order, all ground forces, prioritize the safety of the Yin people and local officials of Fengrao City! Evacuate them safely out of the bombing range! Then commence artillery coverage!" the Commander-in-chief said again.

"The civilians haven’t fully evacuated! The ground needs clearing, requesting support from the Superpower Special Department!" the commander said.

"We will not commit more ground troops for support! The civilian casualties in Fengrao City are all Zhao Ling’s fault! Commander! Signal me after evacuating the officials, I do not rule out using nuclear strikes!" the Commander-in-chief said.

"I cannot accept this order!" the commander said.

"This is Venerable Qin’s order! Are you obeying it or not?!" the Commander-in-chief threatened.

"I didn’t join the military just to be a bodyguard for you officials!" the commander cursed.

At that moment, the commander’s green signal was suddenly removed from the HUD.

The Commander-in-chief said across all channels, "The commander has refused to follow orders and has been relieved of his duty, the battlefield command authority is now transferred to the deputy commander."

Everyone remained silent, but their hands did not stop moving; those flying humanoid insects were still around, the remaining ground troops, three armed helicopters, and the armored units, were all engaged in battle.

The Rocket Army’s next round of artillery came again, this time from the northwest direction, the firepower was even fiercer.

Beams of light with red glow came flying from the distant dark horizon, directly into the upper black fog of the cauldron, explosions occurring one after another, but that dragon head appeared only briefly before retracting back into the darkness.

"Li Suyuan?!" Wang Ye opened a one-on-one communication channel, calling for Li Suyuan.

After a while, Li Suyuan responded, "We just reached the 8th floor, half of our brothers were smashed down in the elevator."

"I saw it. How are things on your end?!" asked Wang Ye.

"There are a lot of people, lots and lots of them...probably millions, I guess. There’s a blackout, it’s dark above and below, you can’t see anything, the streets are full of cars, many people without cars, dragging children and running around chaotically in the streets. We have too few men! We need to send more people in to organize evacuations." Li Suyuan said.

"No one will be sent." Wang Ye said.

"I know... We just took on a mission to go to the old cadres’ neighborhood of the Yin people to pick people up, I have to hang up now. And hey, don’t fucking die tonight, it’s not worth it!" Li Suyuan said.

"I know!" Wang Ye said.

He sighed, checked the ammunition of his machine gun—there were still 2400 rounds—and then the pilot said they were running low on fuel and needed to return for refueling.

At that moment, the ground troop commander established contact with him and two other teammates.

"The 12th Light Infantry Platoon needs support, they’ve lost half their men and are surrounded by those flying women!" commanded the officer.

"My plane needs to go back to refuel!" Wang Ye said.

"Then you come down and go on foot to support!" the commander said.

"Me... Just the three of us?" Wang Ye asked.

"You are a medic, right?!" the commander asked.

"I am." Wang Ye said.

"Their platoon leader is dead, the deputy too, and the medic is dead too! I now appoint you as the platoon leader of the 12th Light Infantry Platoon! Those two with you are also transferred into the 12th Platoon!" the commander said.

"Roger!" Wang Ye said.

"Coordinates sent to you! Fulfill the mission!!" commanded the officer.

"Fulfill the mission!" Wang Ye said.

He left the machine gun post, took the light machine gun off the rack, and patted the hatch.

"Find a place that isn’t on fire! Drop us off there!" Wang Ye said.

The helicopter quickly descended, hovering over an open field in the suburb, where the three men quickly jumped out, sharing the mission coordinates.

In the HUD’s map, a route was marked, and in their field of vision, an orange dot also appeared, marking the distance.

"This is all a fucking sea of fire..." a teammate said.

"Who brought the drone?" Wang Ye asked.

Another teammate quickly ran to the front of Wang Ye, and the hard-shell backpack on his back automatically opened. Wang Ye took out a single-soldier reconnaissance drone from inside, unfolded it, and placed it on flat ground.

When the drone took off, a top view appeared in the HUD of all three men.

"Found the way, this side," said the teammate controlling the drone.

He slung his rifle across his chest, held the drone controller with both hands, with Wang Ye covering him from the front and another teammate guarding the rear.

After coming down from the sky, the number of flying monsters had decreased significantly. He looked up, seeing in the colorful sky, the drone combat group of the Yin Country fiercely battling with them.

Around them, flames soared to the sky, the black soil had been baked hard, he glanced at the time, and could hardly believe that only an hour had passed.
