Chapter 29: Chapter 29: A Clap of Thunder, the Rabbits Make Their Shining Entrance (Part 2)
Upon hearing the standard Chinese spoken by the man holding the cauldron.
Even amidst the life-and-death battle, Yu Lian was slightly stunned.
Seeing Yu Lian somewhat dazed, the man holding the cauldron continued to ask:
"Huaxia People?"
It was ultimately Yan Shaohua’s message that snapped Yu Lian awake:
"Squad Leader Yu, tell him your identity."
Only then did Yu Lian regain his composure, standing tall and upright, his demeanor changed instantly:
"That’s right, I am a Huaxia Person, belonging to the Southern Tibet Border Defense Team’s direct reconnaissance camp, serving as a Lieutenant Squad Leader."
Upon hearing these words.
The man holding the cauldron’s eyes suddenly filled with endless brilliance, and his almost exhausted body instantly exploded with immense power, grabbing Yu Lian’s arm and pointing outside the city, "Is that the Five-Star Red Flag, right? The Five-Star Red Flag?!"
"That’s right, that’s the Five-Star Red Flag, Huaxia’s Dragon Flag!"
Yu Lian nodded heavily, at this point he roughly determined the identity of the man holding the cauldron.
He patted the man’s shoulder and conveyed the content of Yan Shaohua’s message:
"Our troops will be arriving soon, the beast tide outside the city shouldn’t be much of a problem, the army is capable of annihilating them completely.
But the giant snakes on the wall... is there a way to clear them away?
If not, at least restrict their killing, there can’t be any more casualties, after all, once the beasts outside are wiped out, these beasts on the city might launch indiscriminate attacks."
The man holding the cauldron painstakingly listened to this, took out a talisman from his waist, pointed at the sky while speaking and gesturing:
"Array... they... activate..."
Whether due to insufficient vocabulary or other reasons, except for the few limited words like Five-Star Red Flag and Huaxia People, the man’s other Chinese was spoken haltingly.
The two of them communicated like a Guangdong Province person and a Min Province person speaking standard Chinese.
After a lot of gesturing and guessing, Yu Lian finally understood the man’s meaning:
The talisman in the man’s hand controls another array, which is related to the previously shining screen’s sub-array, but activating this talisman requires the cultivation of three ancestors’ level and cannot withstand attacks from more than four great monsters.
In the original plan of the city.
Only three ancestors, fighting to the death, could kill at least four second-tier great monsters, thus providing the opportunity and necessity to activate the array, otherwise, it at most only delays the city’s downfall for a while.
But now, with the arrival of reinforcements, the value of this talisman has soared immensely.
Yu Lian wasted no time and promptly reported this situation to the headquarters.
Shortly, Yan Shaohua’s end responded:
"Squad Leader Yu, our regiment’s direct anti-aircraft unit will provide fire support to the high-altitude battlefield in a minute, opening up an escape gap for two Extraordinary ones, with their wisdom, they should not find it difficult to understand our intentions.
The entire process I give them five minutes, five minutes later we will initiate the first round of fire cleansing on the beast tide outside the city."
End communication.
Yu Lian rapidly told the man holding the cauldron, "Quick, get everyone gathered together! Organize the defense formation!"
He did not explain to the man holding the cauldron what the rabbits were about to do.
Just as the headquarters said, the Extraordinary from another world are not fools, under such a situation, they are bound to understand the intention of the rabbits.
Once the anti-aircraft unit opens up a breach, those two elders will definitely seize the opportunity to leave the battlefield.
As for the accuracy of the weapons from headquarters, Yu Lian wasn’t worried at all.
Though the physical constants of the other world have changed somewhat.
But if the rabbits want to maintain high accuracy with weapons over short distances, it is technically very simple.
For instance, although beam or guided methods may have beam axis errors or fire control computer angle calculation inaccuracies, rendering them ineffective in another world temporarily.
But fully active seeker missiles are not affected (’的’ is not a typo), its laser is installed directly on the missile, requiring no measurement of missile movement parameters.
This fully active seeker missile merely consumes some laser, causing slightly higher battle costs.
The man holding the cauldron immediately understood Yu Lian’s intention, shouted to several Extraordinary individuals.
Meaning roughly that the reinforcements would cover the ancestors’ retreat from the battlefield, everyone quickly gathered, and so on.
Among them, the word ’cover’ was shouted extra loudly.
It must be said that at times, belief is crucial.
Originally, most Extraordinary individuals and soldiers were almost desperate, with the sole thought in their hearts to kill more monsters, each one fighting fearlessly while also infinitely close to heart failure, anytime ready to drop dead.
But with the arrival of that ’reinforcement’ outside the city, a sliver of hope suddenly arose in the hearts of the defending soldiers, along with a surge of newfound strength in their bodies.
Even two Extraordinary ones grasped a great secret between life and death, reaching supreme elevation and advancing to the next minor realm.
Besides, on the beast’s side, they temporarily stopped sending subsequent reinforcements to the wall in preparation for the newly appeared formidable enemy.
For a while, the city’s defenders gradually organized a relatively effective defense line.
While the city’s defenders were regrouping their defenses.
Five lines of white smoke suddenly rose in a certain area outside the city.
At the forefront of the white smoke was a light silver alloy warhead, even at nearly two kilometers’ distance, a sharp whistling through the air could be heard.
This is the HQ-17AE, a field air defense missile developed by the Second Research Institute of CASIC, belonging to the new member of the short-range air defense missile "Feimeng" family.
It is one of the most advanced short-range missiles currently, a derivative version of HQ-17, known as the low-altitude hunter.
Since it is a hunter, naturally it is most suitable for hunting Extraordinary creatures from another world.
The missile’s speed was exceedingly fast, the tail flames left slightly banded marks in the sky, and in an instant, it flew over the city’s sky!
It might have sensed the killing intent inherent in the missile, or maybe learned a hard lesson from prior explosives.
The five great monsters exchanged glances and swiftly dispersed to dodge.
In their view, these five ’magical artifacts’ targeted the areas they previously occupied, as long as they timely avoided, these things wouldn’t pose much threat to them.
As for the two human elders, letting them escape is fine.
One lost an arm, and the other was equally seriously injured, even if they returned to the city, they couldn’t stir much trouble.
But soon, the five monsters realized something was amiss.
They had dispersed in different directions to evade, yet each time they changed course, the five lines of white smoke followed suit.
What was stranger was, they could not sense any trace of the manipulator’s True Essence on the five white smoke lines.
Seeing that the white smoke would soon catch up, a giant snake sighed softly.
Oh well, oh well.
If it can’t be avoided, then endure a hit, it’s not unfamiliar to being bombed.
It hurts a bit, but can’t kill a snake.
It shouldn’t end up inexplicably like that fellow of my species previously who was sliced in half, right?
There can’t be that many accidents in the world.
As each of the five great monsters contemplated, the five HQ-17AE missiles, carrying high-frequency rotational momentum, under the guidance of lasers, accurately collided with their bodies.
Just hearing five loud explosions spreading across the sky, the air became filled with five dense clouds of smoke.
At the instant the missile touched the body, the 15-kilogram warhead’s ammunition pouch exploded in an instant.
The intense chemical energy and mechanical energy instantly penetrated their bodies, tearing the surface open, with blood, flesh, and viscera burning to ashes.
Bang
Bang
Bang
Bang
Bang
The giant monsters on the ground stared at the five charred skeletons before them, tilting their heads again: "?"
On the city walls, the two elderly who had just landed staggered, their eyes almost popped out.
The man holding the cauldron looked at Yu Lian, utterly perplexed, his meaning very clear:
"You freaking call this covering?"
