Global Catastrophe: I Became the World Tree-Chapter 409 - 258 Yang City’s Combat Power_2

The dense skulls and beasts made his scalp tingle, understanding that they simply could not be stopped.

"Alright, I understand," said Liu Zaoxin, and then he turned to look at Bai Yinghui.

Bai Yinghui promptly got the message and reported the Dragon King’s suggestions.

Ultimately, the Dragon King’s advice was just that, a suggestion; it was still up to the military department to decide which plan to implement.

And the response from above came quickly; they also agreed to execute Plan 3, as there really was no other choice but to take a gamble.

If those Forbidden Area Creatures directly entered the Ancient Ruins, it would be for the best, but the military also had contingency plans for their attacks on cities along the way.

At the very least, they could knock out a few of their teeth.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

As the military made their decision, the creatures from the Forbidden Area officially began their attack.

Ye Feng noticed that the one Eighth Order Strongman and the five Seventh Order Strongmen had also emerged with the army.

They were breaking through to the south, apparently intent on heading straight for the Forbidden Area where Tianhe City was located.

To this, Ye Feng was not surprised; after all, this Ancient Ruin was the closest.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The moment those skeletal creatures and beasts left the range of the Forbidden Area, an overwhelming barrage of shells smashed down upon them from above.

After leaving the range of the Forbidden Area, those Seventh Order Strongmen could no longer utilize Rule Power, and with their Realm suppressed to Sixth Order, they were unable to cope with the overwhelming shelling.

But just because they weren’t taking action didn’t mean they weren’t giving commands.

The six mighty beings spread out among the army, and with their roars and bellows, the beasts instantly used their ability to emit Spiritual Energy, intercepting the shells.

As for the skeletal creatures, they had no Spiritual Energy inside them, but by grabbing rocks and soil from the ground and hurling them into the sky, they could prematurely detonate the shells.

However, the military had countless artillery positions in this area, and with their full power now unleashed, it was impossible to stop the barrage of shells completely.

In the end, one-third of the artillery shells fell upon the Beast Army, the light from the explosions almost submerging the creatures completely.

However, though the sight was magnificent, the actual effect wasn’t quite as ideal.

Even the skeletal creatures, unless hit directly on the head by howitzer shells, didn’t suffer much damage, with at most a crack or two on a bone.

As for Sixth Order beasts, the blast’s shockwave was entirely negligible to them.

So, after a round of intense explosions, only about a hundred Forbidden Area Creatures were killed.

And they didn’t linger around this area at all. After charging forward, it took them less than a minute to leave the range of the artillery positions.

Only then did the army of Forbidden Area Creatures initiate a new maneuver.

From their ranks, squads split off rapidly in all directions.

Bai Yinghui, in the command center of Yang City, saw this and immediately said to the communications officer beside him, "Send the order, release all drones, and I’ll use my First Level Authority for emergencies to mobilize all satellites over Donghai Province to keep track of the Forbidden Area Creatures."

"Yes!" The communications officer immediately relayed the command.

With the comprehensive drone reconnaissance and satellite searches from the sky, even if they couldn’t lock down every Forbidden Area Creature, they could at least locate over ninety percent of them.

The staff department, based on their positions and movement, quickly analyzed that many of the scattered Forbidden Area Creatures would gather together, with their targets being the various cities on their path.

Even the Forbidden Area Creatures that hadn’t gathered together were likely to roam near the cities, intending to cut off the support troops between the cities.

Bai Yinghui, looking at their march chart, couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows, "They sure have a big appetite, planning to attack every city along the way. Do they think it’s still a month ago?"

A month ago, dozens of European Giant Dragons could cause tremendous destruction because those dragons could fly, and ground forces couldn’t touch them, which allowed them to be so rampant.

But in this past month, with the continuous dissemination of Gene Potions, the number of Evolutionists has been growing.

Plus, with various new equipment developed, combat power has long since changed from what it once was.

"The 3000 Forbidden Area Creatures coming towards Yang City will be dealt with by me personally leading the charge," he declared.

Bai Yinghui stood up and ordered his adjutant, "Send the command down, gather all the special forces soldiers."

"Yes, sir!"

...

Five minutes later, in front of the square at the gates of Yang City, a formidable army of 20,000 had assembled.

These 20,000 individuals had all become Evolutionists over the past month.

Indeed, as the production lines for the gene potions kept increasing, the production capacity also grew significantly. Just last week, Yang City was allocated a total of 5,000 gene potions.

The number of special forces soldiers who had broken through to become Evolutionists had also reached a staggering 20,000.

Among these 20,000 special forces soldiers, 3,000 were Level 2 Evolutionists, and 17,000 were First Order Evolutionists.

Although their overall Realm could be considered low, the key point was their high-tech equipment.

Even though Power Armor, which cannot be mass-produced on a large scale, was available, there were no issues with the production of Exoskeleton Armor.

Once those First Order Evolutionists donned Exoskeleton Armor and were armed with Destroyer Hand Cannons, they could pose a threat to Fifth Order Skeletal Creatures.

They could even inflict some damage on Sixth Order Beasts.

The real backbone of the force was comprised of those Second-order Evolvers, who wielded the 2nd Generation Destroyer Hand Cannons, powerful enough to rival main battle tanks. Every shell they fired could cause significant wounds to Sixth Order Ferocious Beasts.

"The mission has been sent to your personal terminals. I won’t elaborate on the importance of this battle," Bai Yinghui briefed.

"What I want to tell you is, behind us, in our city, there are over 20 million people, including your family and friends. Do not let them down."

"Depart!"

As Bai Yinghui gave his final order, the immense troop mobilized with astonishing speed.

Without the need for any transport, they were running out directly. This was the difference between Evolutionist Soldiers and regular soldiers—their mobility was on a completely different level.

The location of the Forbidden Area Creatures had been pinpointed long before, and upon leaving Yang City, the enormous troop didn’t stop but instead headed straight toward the Forbidden Area Creatures to engage them proactively.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The powerful roaring of the cannons resonated loudly as shots from the Destroyer Hand Cannons ferociously struck, the 80mm Armor-Piercing and Armor-Piercing Bullets tearing into any Fifth Order Being they hit, leaving them bloodied and battered.

The Mutated Beings caught in the brutal onslaught were instantly dazed.

Among them were some Forbidden Area Creatures that had previously clashed with humans. They could not have fathomed that in just one short month, humans would become so formidable.

In the first round of firing, nearly 50 skeletal creatures and over 20 ferocious beasts among the more than 3,000 gathered Forbidden Area Creatures were slaughtered.

Although they quickly reacted, dodging the shells while rushing closer.

If they could only engage in close combat, these Forbidden Area Creatures could kill a human with a simple slap.

But the more than 20,000 Evolutionists, all equipped with hand cannons, unleashed such fierce firepower that they established suppression, sharply reducing the charging speed of these Forbidden Area Creatures.

Moreover, these soldiers wouldn’t just stand still and take hits; they fired while swiftly retreating and kept spreading out to attack.

Thus, when these Forbidden Area Creatures caught up with the special forces soldiers, the previously dense formation had already scattered.

Each time, they could only attack one or two individuals, unable to launch a widespread slaughter.

Meanwhile, the special forces soldiers aimed and shot every moment. The Forbidden Area Creatures were under constant attack, and the more injuries they sustained, the slower they became, increasing their disadvantage.

The course of the battle heated up from the very beginning.

And this situation did not last long. Just five minutes later, when the death toll of Forbidden Area Creatures exceeded 500 and they realized they stood no chance, they actually began to flee.

The casualties among Yang City’s special forces were only over 400, even less than those of the Forbidden Area Creatures. Without a doubt, it was an unprecedented victory.

Although the victory of this war had been predetermined before it even began, when it really happened, everyone still felt an unreal sensation.

In the wave of evolution, humanity had unknowingly become stronger.
