Ignition

afternoon.

On the ground, Luo Yan, who was in the cockpit, saw one after another Changping Legion mechs emerge from their launch bays.

The mechs then proceeded one by one to facilities resembling rocket launch pads. These facilities were newly constructed, and the mounting frames for several launch platforms were still undergoing final adjustments.

Each launch platform has a uniquely shaped device on its mounting frame, resembling a shuttle with a jet at the rear.

As the mech walks by, the robotic arm on the mounting frame, under computer control, will install the device onto the mech.

For ease of installation, each mech has a connection device on its back that can automatically disassemble at any time.

There is one such piece of equipment on the back of the ' Bi'an ' at this moment.

But Luo Yan didn't go to the launch pad like the other mechs, because his ' Bi'an ' was a reserve unit.

Now, the Changping Legion is about to begin the first phase of its operations.

As Chief of Staff Jiang Wuyang stated this morning, the first phase of the operation involves launching a total of 130 mechs, including those from Changping City, Pingyao, and Yanshi, into the sky in batches.

In order to land on the Overlord Giant Beast is currently hundreds of kilometers away, two thousand meters in the air.

It's important to know that most mechs don't have the ability to fly. Even mechs like the ' Bi'an ', which are equipped with jet engines, can't fly more than 2,000 meters in the air.

Therefore, to launch the mechs into the sky, shuttle-like devices are needed.

Only the ' Skywing Type 3 ' aircraft could carry the heavy mechs to such heights.

These aircraft were clearly not something a Changping Underground City could possess; indeed, they were crucial supplies provided by the ' Giant Beast Strategy Department ' to support Changping Underground City.

Having arrived in the Undercity just two days prior, the Changping Legion had already formulated this battle plan and installed launch pads in advance after discovering the existence of the Kun and its advanced route.

As reinforcements, and prior to this, the Mecha Legion, like Qingyang, had suffered heavy losses.

The Guangling Legion did not need to participate in the 'beach landing' operation; it was just that Luo Yan was piloting Divine Guard standard-level mecha, which was equipped with jet engines.

Therefore, with his consent, the ' Bi'an ' was temporarily fitted with a coupling device as a backup unit.

"Xiao Luo, although your ' Bi'an ' is now a reserve, we are reinforcements. Even if the Changping Legion needs you to go out, you can choose not to go at the last minute." Yan Wenbo's voice rang out in the communication channel.

Kang Shun then added, "Yes, the first phase of the operation is extremely dangerous. The mechs need to ascend to high altitudes and be launched towards the location of the target behemoth."

"Although the flight process is remotely controlled by a ground computer, no pilot is required."

"But they will definitely be attacked when they get close to the Overlord Giant Beast."

Bai said in a soft, worried voice, "Chief of Staff Jiang mentioned this morning that there are more than 60 giant beasts inhabiting the Kun, in addition to a large number of Anchorhead Flea."

"When we land, these things will definitely fight tooth and nail to protect the Kun."

Luo Yan nodded and said, "I won't be reckless."

After hearing this, there was no further sound coming from the communicator.

Looking out through the panoramic view window, Luo Yan saw that most of the mechs had been installed, and the ' Skywing Type 3 ' aircraft was fixed to the back of the fuselage, ready to launch at any time.

The first phase is the beach landing.

After successfully boarding the Overlord Giant Beast, the Second Order begins.

The strategic objective of the Second Order is to destroy at least half of the Anti-gravity Organ on the Overlord Giant Beast's body!

According to the analysis of the biological research group of the ' Giant Beast Strategy Department ', as long as more than half of the Anti-gravity Organ are destroyed, the Kun will not be able to float in mid-air. Even if the remaining organs are still functioning, its own mass is too great, and it cannot maintain its altitude by relying on half of the organs.

Destroying half of its Anti-gravity Organ and bringing this oversized Overlord Giant Beast to the ground would complete the Second Order of the objective.

At that moment, Jiang Wuyang's voice rang out on the public network communication channel.

"This is the Changping Legion Headquarters. I am Chief of Staff Jiang Wuyang. I am now informing all participants in the first phase of the landing operation."

"The first phase of the operation will begin in 10 minutes. Please complete the assembly of your flight devices as soon as possible."

"It can be confirmed that Kun's Super Anti-membrane has been deployed, with an astonishing range, almost equivalent to the size of a provincial-level city."

"Within the range of the anti-membrane, a weightless field is known to exist. As a result, even giant beasts that cannot fly can move around the Kun."

"Of course, whether they are autonomous or passive activities is currently unknown."

"It is certain that any attempt to land in the Forbidden Land aerial area will be met with fierce attacks."

"Therefore, please proceed according to the plan."

"In addition, most of the Anti-gravity Organ of the Kun are concentrated in its tail, while there are fewer organs in the middle and front parts of its body and even on its lower body."

"The computer will then provide you with the correct guidance."

"Once you destroy half of the Anti-gravity Organ, you can retire successfully."

"I wish you all the best of luck and great success!"

Ten minutes passed quickly.

The order to launch the attack rang out over the communication channel.

"Ignite stations 1 through 10!"

"Ignite stations 11 through 20!"

As these sortie orders were issued, on each launch platform, the jet engines on the back of the mechs ignited and propelled the heavy machines into the sky.

Inside the driver's cab, Luo Yan looked up at the spectacular scene, his emotions churning for a long time.

Hundreds of mechs took off one after another, their jets spewing out dazzling flames, carrying people's hopes, trailing parabolic arcs as they soared into the distance.

Perhaps because the Overlord of the Sky was approaching, the originally clear sky quickly became dark and unclear.

Thick clouds gathered, but there wasn't a breath of wind on the ground.

It was filled with a solemn atmosphere, as if a storm was brewing.

Because they were already out of sight, the Mech Master who remained on the ground, including Luo Yan, could no longer reach the mech group that had taken off.

Luo Yan clicked on the command console, opening a window that displayed footage taken by a drone from high above.

Now, above the sea of clouds.

One mech after another broke through the clouds and headed towards their target location. Just ahead, above the sea of clouds, swirled a massive cloud.

Within that cloud of mist, lightning flashed and thunder roared.

Each time lightning flashes, the outline of a Giant Fish can be vaguely seen.

The fish resembled a giant whale, and from time to time, its enormous golden eyes would peek out from the clouds.

Occasionally, it flaps its fins, stirring up a gale and churning the clouds.

Through the screen, Luo Yan also saw that on the back of the Giant Fish were three dorsal fins that fluttered like banners. Every time they shook, countless purple lightning bolts would burst out from the thick clouds.

Densely packed, like a chaotic dance of dragons!
