After Ryan finished speaking, he looked out at the starry sky outside the spaceship.
The pitch-black sky is still tranquil, showing no signs of any anomalies. However, everyone knows that this is just the calm before the storm.
Beside him, Adjutant Allen stood silently, gazing at the peaceful starry sky outside with General Lain. After a moment of silence, he finally spoke, "General, I will ensure a smooth handover with the Special Forces team."
At this very moment, upon hearing General Ryan's statement, Deputy Officer Allen also fully understood the mission of their Fifth Squadron led by General Ryan.
--- Every single one of them, including himself and General Ryan, is prepared to give their all in a deadly battle against the imperial scavenger rats on Trash Planet 101.
They will not escape, nor will they give up on this mission halfway through. The sole purpose of their fierce determination is to buy time for the Special Forces team.
Ryan had intended to say something, but in the end, he didn't say anything at all. He simply raised his hand and gently patted his deputy, Allen, on the shoulder before heading towards the control room of the command center.
Soon after, Ning controlled the sword and flew with Su Xie to the foot of Liuyun Sect's mountain. Translation:
The command from the command center quickly spread throughout the entire 3rd front line, and both the soldiers stationed on the front line and the soldiers in logistics received the latest instructions from the supreme commander General Lein. Translated content:
The team in Xuzhou, of course, is the same.
After seeing Xuzhou, he pursed his lips but did not speak.
Beside him, one of Xuzhou's subordinates expressed some concern, saying, "Captain Xu, our overall strength is not comparable to those in the Special Forces. The area we are supposed to guard is quite large. Can we handle it?"
Without waiting for Xu Zhou's response, another team member immediately said, "What can't be done? Men never say they can't, I can definitely do it." "Let's not talk about whether it can be done or not. Let Xu handle the arrangements first. How should we protect our area together?"
Translated:
With the words spoken, everyone turned their attention to Xuzhou.
After contemplating for a moment, Xuzhou announced their arrangement. Upon hearing it, everyone expressed their willingness to carry out the orders. Following that, Xuzhou released a portion of the hornets in their hands, scattering them around the vicinity of their designated posts according to a certain ratio.
Following that, Xu Zhou allocated another portion of the hornets to his teammates, while keeping some for himself.
These hornets are not small in size, and they have a fierce appearance, not at all cute. But no one dislikes them because these hornets have a very strong combat power, which enhances the overall strength of the team.
所有的事情安排妥当后，徐州看着大家，突然朗声笑道：“这一下，大家要拿出自己的真本事了，咱们就来比一比，看谁死在最后面吧。”
话音一落，气氛顿时十分凝重，但很快，战士们便纷纷哈哈大笑起来，一个个争先恐后的表态：“好，就听徐队的，咱们来比一比谁后死。”
Xuzhou team has entered a ready-to-fight state, and the entire camp of the 3rd frontline is also prepared for battle. The other teams have also entered a state where they can fight at any time.
……
A fleeting tranquility was shattered less than half an hour after General Laine's orders were issued. A group of red-crowned birds, as swift as arrows, swooped in, flapping their wings and howling. In an instant, they devastated a corner of the camp, claiming a few lives.
The Scarlet Tanager suddenly appears, but it shows no interest in fighting at all. Surprisingly, after a greeting, it quickly retreats!
This is definitely abnormal because it goes against the nature of Star Beasts in the midst of a beast tide. They only want to devour humans and use all means to consume and kill them; they would never flee midway.
But these red-crowned birds, not only are they powerful, they also quickly retreat after a single strike.
Inside the command ship.
Layne and several vice generals have heavy expressions. Translation:
"These red-crowned birds, all have levels above level 10, with the highest level being level 12. There are no traces of the leader bird detected by the detector."
"It is impossible for a group of star beasts to not have a leader. It must be present, but it may be hiding or have found a way to deceive our monitoring devices."
Our surveillance is said to be the latest technology developed by the Alliance researchers, which means there is no escape for any star beast below the imperial level.
Does this imply that the commander is hiding in a distant place, like the headbird?
"How is this possible?!!!"
If the intelligence of the leader bird is already so high that it can hide and give commands from a distance, it is simply unbelievable. What is even more astonishing is that it can resist the frenzy of the beast tide state, then...
Are there any other star beasts besides this group of red-crowned birds?
What if there are many of them like this?
Do they still have a chance to win?
During the discussion, everyone turned to Lyen. Among all the people present, in terms of combat power, General Lyen is undoubtedly the strongest. Lyen General is undoubtedly the strongest in terms of combat power.
Not only is Lein the strongest in terms of physical strength, but he also possesses the strongest mental power.
Lein suddenly opens his slightly closed eyes and says, "No bird heads."
Upon hearing these words, the entire command ship falls silent.
Everyone's heart is pounding, and there is a slightly anxious look in their eyes as they exchange glances with each other. It's not that they don't believe General Laine's judgment, but rather that they believe it too much, which is why they feel uneasy.
Sure enough -
after a momentary pause, Ryan continued, "The red-crowned bird is being commanded by an imperial-level scavenger rat."
For a moment, the entire command ship fell silent.
The worst, and most dreaded, speculation had finally come true.
All the people present, including the youngest one, have been serving in the military for over twenty years, engaged in constant battles with star beasts. They are all seasoned individuals who have experienced countless storms and rough seas. However, at this very moment, a feeling of despair rises in their hearts. Please note that
The terrifying aspect of the imperial-level star beast lies not only in its combat strength, but also in its immunity to the impact of the beast tide, as well as its ability to control a large area of star beasts.
Throughout countless years, humans have managed to gain the upper hand in battling star beasts and beast tides because these star beasts have low intelligence and only know how to fight, without any knowledge of tactics or strategy...
Humans rely on mutual cooperation, adapting to the environment, and the assistance of various tactics and weapons to create the relatively stable situation we have today.
Despite this, the human situation remains extremely precarious.
Now, with the appearance of the Emperor-level carrion rats, humans have seemingly lost all their advantages.
在场所有人的心里，都开始打起鼓来，他们真的能抵抗住这些星兽吗？真的有人可以杀死皇级食腐鼠吗？
……
Ryan looked at everyone with his beautiful azure eyes, his expression still calm, and said, "We may not be able to defeat them, but we won't give up."
After finishing his sentence,
Ryan stood up and walked to one side of the control room, aiming the cannon personally at the Red-crowned cranes that were about to fly out of the monitoring range. Then, they heard---
Boom boom boom~
One by one, the corpses of the Scarlet Crested Birds fell down like broken pearls.
With just one attack, Ryan's precise strike amazed everyone.
