High in the sky, a fierce, cold wind howled past.
Sashado sat cross-legged atop the Skeletal Winged Dragon's head, his gaze sweeping over the city below, his eyes gleaming with a cold light.
This country has been almost completely destroyed by him.
Of course, destruction was not his intention.
He just happened to be passing through those cities, and then, like a human stepping on an ant, he did it without any emotion.
His target... from beginning to end... was the weapons that could harm his body.
Go ahead...
"Find out what I need from this city and present it to me!"
Sashado shouted calmly, waving his hand forward.
The next moment.
Countless Pterosaurs, floating in the sky like space battleships in formation, received the king's command and swooped down!
The scene was so vast it blotted out the sky, utterly terrifying...
At the very least... this is a terrifying force that humanity in the age of cold weapons could absolutely not resist!
Of course, even in this era, many countries possess a large number of powerful firearms, but they are no match for such a large and mobile air force.
Still struggling to cope!
Among the cities destroyed along the way, there were those who tried to resist, and all of them failed!
Located within the Peji City.
Located in a shelter capable of withstanding a nuclear attack, the military commanders and President Xiupa, who were hiding there, looked grim when they saw the monsters in the sky swarming out.
"It... it moved!"
"Those monsters are about to attack..."
"Should we use restricted weapons now? But they're too close. If we use them, Peji might also..."
"There are too many of them. Even using restricted weapons, we can't wipe them all out!"
"Where's V5's support? Why are they just watching from the sidelines...?"
"Damn it, there are just too many of those monsters. Our air defenses are simply not enough, otherwise..."
"Since V5 has sent reinforcements, they must have weapons specifically designed for that monster. Everyone... don't panic!"
Inside the shelter.
The generals looked grim and discussed the matter in hushed tones, one after another.
Hearing their words, President Xiupa simply stared intently at the screen in front of him, his face expressionless. He had long since given up any hope for the group of incompetent fools behind him.
If they hadn't misjudged the situation, things would never have fallen into such a passive state.
Right now... their only hope lies with the V5 support troops who have already arrived on the field.
And at this very moment.
Inside the airships floating in mid-air was a highly skilled elite force.
Despite the overwhelming number of monsters before them, the soldiers only wore solemn expressions, without a trace of fear in their eyes.
Their identities are... members who survived the elite force that once explored the Dark Continent.
In the past, they have always received special operations training to deal with these troublesome monsters. V5's various new individual weapons and weapons for different monsters are also designed around this type of soldier with such physical abilities.
Although they are not Nen users, they were able to use individual weapons.
Their strength is not necessarily inferior to that of Nen users.
Moreover... this special type of soldier can be mass-produced; it can be selected from ordinary people, providing a huge pool of choices.
It can be created simply by investing enough funds.
In contrast, Nen users are far too uncontrollable.
After all...
Even though V5 has a considerable number of Special Forces composed of Nen users.
However, whether in war or in dealing with the enormous creatures of the Dark Continent, the role of Nen users is not so obvious.
Especially... some Nen users with special abilities.
Even if their Nen Abilities can play a very strong role at the beginning, if the Nen user dies unexpectedly, the entire combat system or team built around them may be destroyed as a result.
Each Nen user's ability is unique, and it's rare for two Nen users to have similar abilities.
This leads to... V5 being even more reluctant to use Nen users, who are warriors with strong "irreplaceability," and the number of Nen users is also so small.
Thanks to the development of the Combat Research and Development Department under V5, individual weapons have become relatively mature.
Once equipped with this gear, these experienced and obedient soldiers are in no way inferior to Nen users in terms of destructive power.
At this moment, in the sky...
There were about fifty airships floating around, which didn't seem like a large number, compared to the tens of thousands of Skeletal Winged Dragon under Sashado's command ahead.
But in reality, the airships could hold a very large number of soldiers.
This is a well-trained combat force of over five thousand men, equipped with sophisticated combat gear!
Inside each airship, the commander began giving a battle pep talk, speaking in a deep voice.
Our mission this time is... to annihilate all alien enemies!
"Soldiers, grab your gear, take up your weapons, save the people of the Republic of the Congo, and fire all your ammunition at the enemy!"
"Our operation will be featured on television programs around the world. This is a showcase for V5 and a glorious experience for our troops!"
"Now, I command you to unleash your full war potential! Let the world see V5's strength, let these monsters witness V5's fury! Now, begin the battle!"
Hearing the commanders' mobilization speech, the group of mature veterans, their expressions resolute, spoke in unison.
"V5... Awesome!"
Then.
"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"...
Soldiers wearing half-body armor jumped directly from the airship without even being equipped with parachutes.
One by one, like dumplings being dropped into a pot, they fell from the sky.
Sashado naturally noticed the airships docked around him, seemingly in a silent standoff, but he paid them no heed.
After destroying several cities, he believed he had figured out the power of these mortals.
Despite the immense power of those technologically advanced weapons, the human body is far too fragile. Even the most ordinary monsters he summons can easily tear them apart.
According to Sashado...
To put it bluntly, these ordinary people are simply fortunate to have encountered good times.
If they were to encounter something like the "Fear-Eater," I'm afraid... the entire trace of their so-called technological civilization would be completely destroyed.
This is... the tragedy of the fragility of mortal bodies...
Therefore, he completely ignored the airships and only wanted to find the strategic weapon he was looking for among the Peji as soon as possible.
Obtaining that thing... was crucial for him at that moment.
This would allow him to... gain control of the world more quickly...
And at this very moment.
On the airships that came with V5 support, several experienced war photographers were holding up their cameras and quickly filming the scene.
Even though they were all very experienced and had been awarded the title of outstanding war correspondent.
But even now, looking at the densely packed, Pterosaurs pterosaur-like monsters on the screen, they still felt their palms sweating.
I couldn't help but feel a chill for the soldiers who were falling towards Peji ground at that moment.
"Is the video call connected?"
"Video transmission has begun. Cameras, pay attention to the angles. First, get the monster we're going to deal with on camera. I have a feeling we're filming historic footage!"
Even these war correspondents.
This is the first time I've received such a mission and witnessed such history!
Humanity waged its first large-scale war against humanoid Magical Beast!
V5's Operations Center naturally did not reveal Sashado's true identity to them, but simply defined this operation as a plan to eliminate humanoid Magical Beast that posed a high threat to humans!
And...
This war will be recorded in its entirety and broadcast on television, marking the first time V5 has publicly revealed the existence of special individual combat units!
