Chapter 1329: Air battle explodes
“The flame wall is up!”
“Red Hair won! Red Hair won! The Golden Hero was killed!”
“The floating ball has sent back pictures. Boss has stopped the other three level-eight lifeforms.”
“Unit density has reached the mark. Around 760 meters away!”
“All the weapons, get ready!”
“Space battle exploded! Space battle exploded!”
News spread to the temporary command center. Guang Yao ordered calmly, and sweat constantly flowed down his forehead.
When the final battle was about to begin, he sensed the pressure on his shoulders.
Ye Zhongming and the others trusted him and passed all the leadership to his hands. This wasn’t a joke. If he made a mistake, someone would die!
Now, everything proceeded according to plan. But that was expected. When the high-end combat strength of Cloud Peak worked together, they were invincible against anyone below level nine.This was the test of leadership. If anything happened now and the mutated lifeform army in Xingzhou City went out of control, the boss, Yangos, and the others would be in danger.
If anything happened, nothing could save them.
The better Guang Yao understood that point, the more pressure he was under. So, although his decisions were quick and decisive, he would reflect and check in case any accidents had happened.
Along with orders being given, the air defense forces, with Xia Bai’s female guards at the core, were first to be in their attack states.
The flames didn’t stop the flying lifeforms around Xingzhou City. They flew from all directions and wanted to hunt the Cloud Peak forces.
These flying lifeforms were confused. These humans didn’t seem to notice them. They didn’t look at the skies and just retreated in an orderly manner. They retreated while dealing a lot of damage to the lifeforms on the ground.
But they weren’t too overconfident. Although there weren’t as many flying lifeforms, they could fly. They relied on this advantage and other allies bugging the humans, so what if they had ways to deal with them?
So, the flying lifeforms charged with no worries.
The food below would be theirs quickly.
But who knew that the target locked onto them the moment they attacked?
Two thousand rockets exploded, sending the group closest to Cloud Peak’s heads to fly back. Large patches of flesh and blood fell from the sky.
The rocket launchers were too weak to deal with higher-level lifeforms, but they were useful against groups. If the target had a bad defense, it could cause damage in a large area.
Mutated lifeforms evolved very quickly, but like humans, there were differences in their levels. After the rockets were fired, many low-level lifeforms were killed. They couldn’t continue flying and fell.
Cloud Peak’s shots were very detailed and researched. The distance between each explosion was very even, such that they managed to cover the biggest area. Large bits of the sky were covered by the smoke after the explosion.
Then, the Wind Ball Mortars fired.
The moment this weapon was used on a large scale, it had a shocking effect.
The first thing they fired were the wind balls.
These giant balls flew into the sky. They weren’t quick. But the rockets had already caused chaos, and the smoke blocked their vision. Most of the wind balls reached their furthest range before exploding.
The strong wind element energy swept the sky, causing the mutated lifeforms to lose their sense of direction. Blood and pain had sent these fellows who flapped their wings mad.
The wind balls were stronger than the rockets. The damage killed many enemies, and corpses fell from the sky each second. Those badly injured tried to glide to maintain balance, but some still fell into the humans. They were either killed or eaten by other mutated lifeforms.
After the wind ball, the Violent Lightning Turrets and wind blades started their attacks. Dense lightning and wind blades charged into the flying beasts, claiming their lives.
Lightning and wind blades were much stronger against single targets. After hitting the flying lifeforms, the number of lifeforms killed today peaked.
These three waves were slow but occurred in an instant. The region that was the focus was cleared. Those that survived were all very high leveled and were at least level five. Even they were injured and only a few were perfectly fine.
This was the signal to begin. The weapons turned in another direction.
The female guards were the leaders and helped to hold back flying lifeforms in another region. They killed targets and focused on preventing them from hitting the Cloud Peak warriors on the ground.
Xia Bai personally led a few dozen people to the center of the battlefield and entered the center of the Cloud Peak warrior formation. As the team started retreating, they would attack when flying lifeforms broke their firepower net.
These people were job users with strong single-target damage. A few dozen were enough to ensure those lifeforms wouldn’t cause many problems.
“Report!”
Guang Yao waited for a few minutes before asking about the situation. After he heard the report, he checked the videos from the Exquisite Floating Ball. At a certain moment, he gave an order.
The War Fortress started to step into the battlefield. It stood behind the team and started firing at the flying lifeforms.
There was only one, but this fellow had many attack methods. Its firepower was huge and very powerful, and its shooting was quick, too. Its entrance made up for the lack of firepower, suppressing the flying lifeforms above.
Of course, this suppression was not absolute. Some flying lifeforms would charge through—there were too many of them, and they had many different skills—but the overall goal was reached.
“Well done!”
Guang Yao clenched his right fist and punched his palm.
Air control was the most crucial part of this plan. Without the threat from the air, they had reached half their target.
“Unit density has reached 2.5 times, 50 meters away!”
