"Boom! Boom!"
Heavy stomps came from behind the airdropped troops.
After firing anesthetic gas rounds into the city, the God Body Squad led by William landed one after another along the southeastern coastline of the city.
"Click-clack! Click-clack!"
All the God Bodies adjusted their Gauss Cannons, reducing their muzzle velocity to the minimum to avoid causing excessive damage to the city's buildings and facilities.
Carl and the other God Body snipers, however, did not adjust their Gauss Sniper Cannons. Instead, they crouched on the beach, fully prepared for battle.
After all, according to Halsey's speculation, Yuri's side might possess mechs similar to the God Bodies, so Carl and the other snipers would show no mercy.
William, inside the cockpit, looked toward City Five in the distance through the God Body's vision and Panoramic screen.
"Boss." At the same time, Serena reported from the control console:
"A large ground force is traveling aboard Pelicans and landing craft. They're expected to reach the southeastern outskirts of City Five in five minutes. By then, the advantage on the ground will have completely shifted to our side."
"Mm, I know." William responded flatly.
Although they currently held the advantage, William's brows remained tightly furrowed. After a moment of silence, he ordered:
"Serena, use my God Body to expand your scanning functions. Quickly and thoroughly scan City Five, especially Yuri's damned palace.
"Search for enemy soldiers over two meters tall and wearing armor similar to Ceramite Armor."
"Yes, Boss."
After receiving the order, Serena gave William a slight nod and caused her Solid Imaging to float to the front of the cockpit. The image began emitting a faint blue glow, indicating that she was using the God Body to conduct a rapid screening.
It was not long before—
"Beep—beep."
