Another Shadow Guard screamed as his internal organs were shattered by the sonic shockwave, and a large amount of blood gushed from the torn part of his battle suit.
"My arm..."
Another Shadow Warrior's arm was severed by the wing bone, and nanoparticles sealed the wound, but the casualty count was steadily rising, and despair began to spread like a plague.
"Lord, this can't go on, our casualties are too high!"
Mark launched a claw attack, shouting anxiously.
Chen Yuan's eyes were icy cold; how could he not know?
The brain is working at lightning speed, and Loongson is frantically calculating the feasibility of various solutions.
Just then, the Loongson notification sounded again, but the content was completely different: [The main energy source, Eternal Radiance Heart, is stable. The main electromagnetic projectile cannon is fully charged. Current energy level is at 200% overload mode!]
[WARNING: Overloading will cause irreversible damage to the gun body, requiring special metal repair...]
[Calculate the optimal launch window: Directly above, in the area with the densest herd of animals. Authorize launch?]
A sharp glint suddenly flashed in Chen Yuan's eyes.
"All units, immediately find solid cover, lock onto your positions, and prepare to withstand the super-powerful shockwave!" Chen Yuan's roar instantly drowned out all other noise on the battlefield.
Without any hesitation, he issued the order almost the instant he heard the prompt: "Dragon Core, authorized launch, target the core of the beast horde directly above, blast them to smithereens!"
[Command confirmed, main gun firing sequence initiated, countdown 3…2…1…]
All the soldiers who were still able to move obeyed orders without hesitation, disengaging from the battle and clinging tightly to nearby fixed objects, or lying prone behind heavy armor.
At the top of the lighthouse, the massive, decorative spherical turret had its armor plates slid off layer by layer, revealing a terrifyingly thick, gigantic electromagnetic rail wound with terrifying arcs of electricity.
"Om...!"
A chilling energy wave spread out as if it were a tangible force, and even the air seemed to freeze.
The winged beasts in the sky seemed to instinctively sense the impending doom; they let out sharp and chaotic howls and began to scatter and flee.
However, their formation was too dense, and they had just flown too close and too low to completely disperse in a short time in order to besiege the lighthouse.
Some tried to dive down immediately to get close to the main gun, but it was too late.
emission!!!
A thick, incandescent white beam of light, composed entirely of pure kinetic energy, shot out from the cannon at near-light speed like the scourge of God, instantly piercing through the densest horde of ghostly beasts directly above the lighthouse.
Time seemed to stand still at this moment.
The winged beast that was directly hit by that blazing white beam of light was instantly vaporized and annihilated under the crushing force of its absolute energy and kinetic energy, leaving not even a trace behind.
The winged beasts at the edge of the pillar of light were as if crushed by an invisible force; their tough wings and torsos were torn and shattered like paper.
The blue blood and shattered tissue instantly exploded into a thick cloud of blood mist.
Immediately following, a visible circular shockwave swept across the entire sky, violently spreading outwards and blowing away and shattering the outermost winged beasts that were fortunate enough not to be directly hit, like autumn leaves swept away by the wind.
The power of a single cannon shot is truly astounding!
As the destructive beam of light gradually dissipated, it was as if a large part of the sky had been cleared away.
The once densely packed horde of ghostly beasts was halved, and countless blue blood rains and mangled corpses fell from the sky like raindrops, crashing onto the lighthouse's armor with a crackling sound.
[Calculation complete: 889 Winged Beasts destroyed in one shot by the main gun, survival points +1778000.]
The surviving winged beasts were utterly terrified by this earth-shattering power. They let out horrified screams and fled in panic towards the distant clouds, no longer caring about hunting, and soon disappeared without a trace.
Chen Yuan slowly landed on a small electromagnetic gun platform, and breathed a long sigh of relief as he watched the beast horde fleeing rapidly in the distance.
The notification sound from Longxin rang again: [Total kills in this battle: 1127 Ghostwing Beasts, total survival points earned: 2254000]
Adding Chen Yuan's previous accumulated points: 1373700 + 2254000 = final total: 3492700 points, approximately 350 million survival points.
[Note: 889 of them were killed by the main gun, and the remaining 238 were killed by Chen Yuan and the Shadow Legion in a combined effort.]
More than three million points—an unprecedented fortune.
Chen Yuan looked at the number, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
This victory was won with the blood and sacrifice of soldiers, and it was a Pyrrhic victory achieved by relying on the lighthouse's ultimate trump card.
Without the main gun, even if they fought with all their might, they might only be able to kill a little over three hundred, and the final result would inevitably be the complete destruction of the lighthouse.
"Quickly, rescue the wounded and assess the battle losses."
Chen Yuan suppressed his emotions and quickly issued a series of orders, his voice regaining its composure.
Mark and the others also came to their senses and immediately began to take action.
survived.
But the cost was heavy.
Chen Yuan cast his gaze into the distance, in the direction of Dragon Bone Village.
……
Dragon Bone Village.
Boom, boom! ! !
Suddenly, a deep, muffled thud was heard, followed by the entire village shaking violently, as if a strong earthquake had occurred. Houses rattled, dust fell from the roofs, and villagers ran out of their houses in panic.
"What's going on? Was it an earthquake?" a villager shouted.
"No, it's not an earthquake!"
Xu Tong's Gale-like vehicle instantly took off, its voice booming through the external loudspeaker, filled with astonishment, "An earthquake! It seems to have come from the cliff to the east of the village..."
He had barely finished speaking...
"boom!"
Another, even more deafening explosion rang out, and a huge hole suddenly burst open in the barrier on the east side of the village, which was built on thick natural rock and was considered absolutely reliable.
Countless pebbles flew inward like cannonballs, and dust billowed into the sky.
Through the billowing dust, several pairs of enormous, menacing bone wings, gleaming with a cold metallic luster, could be seen suddenly unfurling.
Then... came more of the same figures.
The horde of ghostly beasts forcefully spewed energy blasts from their mouths, blasting a passage through the village's rocky layer, and they crawled in one by one.
The man with the taciturn expression was grave. "What kind of Devouring Beasts are these? They're not even afraid of the aura of the village's corpses; they just blasted through the mountain!"
"call out!"
A holy white figure appeared instantly, and the energy wings on the back of the Pure Candle mech fully unfolded, flowing with golden light.
Bai Yuekui's eyes beneath his mask were as cold as knives.
"Everyone, non-combat personnel, immediately take to the underground bunker. Combat personnel, activate your mechs and follow me!"
Her voice, amplified by the mecha, instantly quelled the panic at the scene.
"Shattered Star, occupy the high ground and prioritize sniping individuals who attempt to widen the gap."
"Understood." Shattered Star's Annihilation Ship vanished instantly, searching for the best sniping position.
"Xu Tong, conduct aerial reconnaissance and report the exact number and movement of the beast herd."
"Leave it to me." The Gale transformed into a streak of blue light and rushed towards the breach.
"Guayan, Shanda, Qianli, the three of you come with me immediately to the front and block that entrance. We absolutely cannot let any more in!"
"Yes!" The three heavy mechs roared simultaneously, starting up like mountains.
The taciturn Mountain-class ship unfolds its massive shield, the towering Chongxiao-class ship clenches its fist, and the thousand-mile-long Immovable Mountain-class ship deploys its energy shield.
"Other combatants, cover the villagers as they go to the underground shelter, then return to fight."
"Yes!!"
Chapter 166 Arriving to Provide Support
"Xia Dou, use mental interference to slow down their influx."
"I'm trying... Boss, they're ferocious, but... I'll do my best!"
Xia Dou's Heart Whisper Mech's tentacles shone brightly, and its gentle mental fluctuations attempted to soothe the ferocity of the Ghost Wing Beast. Although there was some effect, it was far less noticeable than when used on ordinary Devouring Beasts.
"Jiuge, keep up! Your task is to ensure the condition of the frontline team members!"
"Yes, Boss Bai!" The Spring Breeze's wings flapped lightly, following closely behind.
"The rest of you, take cover and establish a second line of defense to eliminate any remaining fugitives!"
Bai Yuekui issued orders one after another at lightning speed, and she took the lead, the Pure Candle transformed into a white meteor, rushing towards the huge breach where rubble was constantly falling and smoke and dust were billowing.
As soon as they approached, a gray bolt of lightning shot straight out of the cave—the incredibly sharp wing bone spikes of the Ghost Wing Beast.
"clang!"
Bai Yuekui's golden lightsaber precisely parried the attack, sending sparks flying.
"roll!"
She gave a cold shout, and her lightsaber slashed down, forcing back another winged beast that had pounced out.
At this moment, the taciturn Mountain had arrived. Its huge shield, like a moving city wall, roared and held firm against one edge of the breach, instantly blocking several attacks from the wing bones and energy blasts.
"Wall of Sighs, unfold!"
With a low roar, the massive diamond-shaped energy shield on the left arm of the Immovable Mountain instantly expanded to its limit, almost covering the other side of the breach, forming a temporary gate with the taciturn giant shield.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!!"
More Spectral Beasts charged and unleashed energy blasts at the giant shield and energy shield, causing the two heavily armored pilots to shudder violently, but their tracks gripped the ground tightly, preventing them from taking a single step back.
The massive Chongxiao took a sudden step forward from behind, its giant fist, the size of a millstone, bypassing the gap in the shield. With its shockwave booster at full power, it slammed into a ghostly beast squeezed into the cave entrance.
"boom!"
The winged beast's chest cavity was smashed open, and it screamed as it was thrown back into the cave, knocking down several others behind it in the process.
"call out!"
A distinctive shriek, characteristic of electromagnetic sniper cannons, came from above. The head of a winged beast that had just climbed to the top of the cave and bypassed the defenses exploded instantly, falling helplessly to the ground.
