Barrage of Artillery Fire, Combat Robots Appear.

Countless artillery shells rained down on the Taotie Warriors' warships.

North listened to his subordinate's report, not expecting to lose a portion of his warships before even approaching the target.

Some Taotie Warriors had already boarded small aircraft heading to Tianhe City, but even with the reduced size, there was still a chance of being hit by artillery fire.

On the plains fifty kilometers away from Tianhe City, 50,000 combat robots had already gathered, waiting for those Taotie Warriors.

Li Mu and North were still directing operations from the flagship, also not expecting the Earth's firepower to be so strong. The flagship was fine, but the other warships had suffered some losses.

On a plain, densely packed Taotie Warriors arrived on small aircraft.

As this group of Taotie Warriors was passing through, 50,000 combat robots moved at random, rushing towards the Taotie Warriors in the sky.

The combat robots held Laser Swords in their hands. The Taotie Warriors in the front who reacted in time could avoid death with a turn of their aircraft, but those who were too slow were either beheaded with a single sword strike or had their chests pierced.

On the flagship, Li Mu heard the report from his subordinate that the vanguard Taotie Warriors were under attack, and that there were also combat-type robots. This time, Li Mu had to put away his contempt.

Li Mu asked, "How does the combat power of the combat robots compare to ours?"

A subordinate reported, "They are one-to-one with our ordinary warriors, and one-to-five with our modified warriors."

Hearing the report, Li Mu said seriously, "Ordinary warriors hold them back, use long-range weapons to kill the combat robots, and modified warriors roam around. I don't think China will have many of these combat robots."

Su Jiu looked at the battle ahead and asked the thirty-meter-tall mech next to her, "Li Qi, how many combat robots are there?"

The mech projected Li Qi's image and said, "Please call me Yan One. There are 80,000 combat robots. This is all the steel that could be mobilized in the past ten days. 50,000 are placed here, and 30,000 are placed in Juxia City."

The battle on the plain was extremely fierce. Every now and then, a Taotie Warrior would fall, and every now and then, one or two combat robots would be scrapped.

Soon, the Taotie changed their tactics. One would hold back, while another would strike from a distance with long-range attacks. There were also some who were clearly not ordinary Taotie Warriors roaming around.

"They've changed their tactics. We won't be able to hold out for long this time." Su Jiu saw that the losses of the combat robots had obviously increased.

Li Qi said, "Don't worry, there will be a mech participating in the battle here."

Su Jiu curled her lips and said, "I know, this is the main battlefield. You can send out snipers to take out those white Taotie Warriors."

Su Jiu said on the unified combat channel, "Baili, start sniping. Target: the two-meter-tall white-armored Taotie Warriors on the battlefield."

Baili Shouyue: "Understood."

Li Qi heard that Su Jiu's side had already begun to act, and ordered the battlefield below to pull the battlefield horizontally, opening a horizontal line, so that the soldiers who had not yet entered the battlefield could cooperate with the combat robots to kill.

Fifty miles outside Tianhe City, a twenty-mile-long defense line began to be fortified.

At this time, simple versions of mechs appeared on the battlefield. They were five meters tall, three meters wide, with mechanical arms on the left and right, each equipped with an enlarged Gatling machine gun, and long ammunition clips on their backs, with large yellow-orange bullets hanging on their bodies.

Li Qi said awkwardly in the mech, "This is the B1 Type Mech we developed when we were researching the Yan Huang Mech. The neural link can't do what the Yan Huang Mech can do, it can only sense the movement of the hands and feet, that's all for now."

Su Jiu was amazed. This mech was a bit like the mech in a game she played in her previous life.

After this type of mech appeared, it became an important target for the Taotie on the battlefield. Ordinary Taotie Warriors, if hit, would be shot into a hornet's nest in less than five seconds.

On the Taotie flagship, Li Mu heard the report and didn't expect China's technology to have developed so quickly.

At this time, a Taotie reported, "High-firepower mechs have appeared on the front line, requesting precise fire strikes."

Li Mu asked, "What's going on?"

The Taotie Warrior pulled up the video. Li Mu, looking at the B1 Type Mechs, said, "Approve the precision fire strike. Also, how long until our warships arrive at the battlefield? We can then form fire suppression."

The Taotie Warrior replied, "Twenty warships will arrive in three minutes. Our flagship will provide support from the rear."

Countless soldiers were still fighting on the battlefield. In a secret forest, a red mech unfolded its crimson wings, ascending into the sky and flying towards the battlefield.

Just as the Taotie and combat robots, along with the B1 Type Mechs, were locked in fierce combat with the soldiers, the Taotie Warriors' warships in the rear launched a barrage of missiles.

The Hyperion, still exchanging fire with the Taotie flagship, immediately detected this and reported it to Su Jiu.

Su Jiu immediately told Li Qi, "The Taotie are conducting a precision strike, targeting the B1 Type Mechs. In three minutes, twenty warships will arrive at the battlefield, providing fire suppression against us."

Li Qi, a decisive person, immediately issued an order to abandon all B1 Type Mechs on the battlefield. The B1 Type Mechs that had not yet entered the battle were to remain in place.

Instantly, all the mechs on the field ceased their attacks. One by one, soldiers disengaged from their mechs and moved away. Barely ten seconds after they moved away, all the mechs were blown to pieces by the incoming missiles.

One soldier who had just piloted a mech wiped a cold sweat from his brow and said, "My god, luckily the order came in time. Ten more seconds and we definitely wouldn't have made it."

A soldier next to him, holding a gun, said, "Screw you. At least you got to pilot one. We can only stare blankly."

That soldier said, "Hehe, my bad. Who told some people to say during the initial selection that this department had no information and not to go? Who knew it was about piloting mechs?"

Hearing this, the nearby soldiers' teeth ached. They said, "Get lost, get lost. We still have to fight."

At this moment, the soldiers below saw twenty warships arriving in a mighty formation. In an instant, fire suppression was formed on the battlefield, making it impossible for their side to raise their heads.

Just as everyone was waiting for their side to counterattack, streaks of blue energy blasts hurtled towards the newly arrived Taotie warships.

The Taotie Warriors on these warships saw the energy blasts and took evasive maneuvers. After evading, they thought it was over.

But they saw those energy blasts make a turn and continue to attack the warships.

The Taotie Warriors on these warships were not happy. Firepower against firepower, two against two, exploding in the sky.

At this moment, another ten larger red missiles came, and five warships didn't have time to evade, their energy shields disappearing directly.

The moment the warships' energy shields disappeared, countless firepower from below rained down on these five warships.

With the warships lacking energy shields, their defense was weakened by at least half. These five warships didn't last ten minutes before being blown up.

The missiles from before were the main culprit behind the loss of the five Taotie warships. The Taotie Warriors on the warships were doing their best to find the location from which the missiles were launched.

But none of them discovered that the missiles that had just caused them direct losses were mobile.
