A tremendous sound rang out in the Attack Shaft. Moments later, Xiaodao felt her whole body jolt—the launch capsule had reached the ground.
When the hatch opened, she piloted her mecha outside. Above her, a fighter jet roared past, flying into the distance.
At the same time, launch capsules rose from the nearby Attack Shafts one after another, and mechas emerged from them.
Every member of the Earthly Hero Squad and Earthly Fierce Squad had arrived.

At that moment, the Essence Energy Main Cannon that Guangling Underground City had set up on the surface fired from afar. A thick beam swept across the earth, pointing straight toward the horizon.
Moments later, a flash of fire appeared on the horizon. Then an orange-yellow fireball rapidly rose into the sky.
The atmosphere trembled, and the winds and clouds surged!
The sky in the distance was instantly dyed crimson by the flames. Amid the sparks filling the heavens, Xiaodao saw two distorted figures walking over from that direction.
"The target has been locked on."
"Earthly Hero Squad, move out!"
"Earthly Fierce Squad, move out!"
Apart from Xiaodao, the other Dragon Riders of the Earthly Department from both squads quickly headed toward the Sky Demons.
At that moment, more mechas reached the ground through the Attack Shaft.
This time, they were personnel from the Guangling Mecha Legion.
Xiaodao would be responsible for guarding this final line of defense alongside them. Looking out through her panoramic viewport, she saw the Legion Commander Liang Jian's Divine General mecha: Flame Dragon.
The mecha was entirely crimson. It was said to have been modified and repainted from the former commander's mecha, Mystic Wing.
A protection system had been installed in the mecha. This allowed Flame Dragon to use Edge Opening Stance without burning everything away.
