The war didn't just take place 5,000 meters in the air. In fact, as one B-class mecha aircraft after another was captured, the war on the ground had already begun.

On the backs of each of the "heavy-armored quadruped mechanical bodies," monomolecular ropes were taut, and at the ends of the ropes were huge mechanical birds that kept flapping their wings, trying to escape from this place.

Ever since a certain mechanical hunter surnamed Gao made "monomer wire" popular, the monomolecule wire on the military supply warehouse counter has been completely sold out, and the security forces have had to include it in military control items.

Then they were used here.

It must be said that this "building material" is indeed very useful. If it were ropes made of other materials, more than a dozen would have been torn apart by now.

The mechanical cheetahs kept dragging the wings of the three flying behemoths, preventing them from flying again.

Around them were the wreckage of combat robots, their energy plates shattered by the violent radiation field.

This also added many twists and turns to the third phase, which involved trapping the three giant mechanical birds.

On nearby buildings, elite mechanical hunters were launching a frenzied attack.

There aren't many people like this; even if you include the mechanical hunters from the three neighboring oases, there are only a dozen or so.

The reason is that in the face of a B-level radiation beast, numbers are no longer of any use. The terrifying radiation field pressure alone is enough to make most people lose their will to fight. Even robots will crash due to external interference.

Among them, the "Giant Bombardment Bird" has been surrounded by more than ten large combat robots, which are now attacking it at full efficiency.

The other Class B mechanical bird didn't struggle much either; a series of green garbled data was frantically displayed on its electronic bird eye.

This indicates that the Legion's Cyber Hacker are remotely hacking into them.

Only one radiant bird leader with more than a dozen heads was struggling frantically. Its head kept rising, energy flowed into the energy jets between its teeth, and then a cannon as thick as a thigh was fired.

In the arena, most of the mechanical hunters were dealing with this one. Some relied on their stealth abilities to deal damage in close combat, while others were unleashing firepower from a distance. And there were many more strange and unusual "mechanical hunter modifications".

For example, it can turn metal ants into mobile bombs, dig tunnels to enter the opponent's abdomen, or use mechanical gliders to "lasso" in mid-air, or ride a plasma horse around a mechanical bird to spray plasma, with the cables on the horse's mane "inserted" into the mechanical hunter's dreadlocks, making it incredibly agile.

"Die, die, monsters!"

Standing on an open-air terrace, Black God laughed loudly while unleashing a barrage of firepower. Half of the mechanical components on his body had been completely shut down, while the other half were on the verge of exploding due to overheating barrels.

He had lost an arm, a third of his head, and his body was covered in various cuts and lacerations.

Meanwhile, the flying radiant beast that the Worm had transformed into was being chased by more than a dozen flying creatures. Clearly, his proud "transformation" ability had been exposed.

The radioactive beasts aren't stupid either; in fact, most of them have brain processing capabilities that surpass those of the human brain.

After all, no matter how you transform, your target will remain the same.

And on the body of that 'nine-headed bird', bloodstains several meters long would occasionally burst out.

One of the bird heads was severed by the same technique.

Miyamoto Sanzang, along with his only remaining AI disciple, is stealthily assassinating near the bird's body.

The burst damage all exceeded 1000.

These suicide hunter groups have long since transformed their killing techniques into hunting techniques for large creatures over the years.

Two bio-engineers were also participating in the siege. On land, the bio-engineering armor could unleash its full power. Even a simple punch or kick could generate the force of a ton.

A 'rotten tank' had just entered the battlefield when it was smashed to pieces by a single punch from a powerful colonist.

Meanwhile, in the sky, the five symbiotes, whose fates were unknown, were piloting mechs to bombard flocks of birds, using laser cutters, missile launchers, melee energy saws, and sonic weapons to fully demonstrate what it means to be a warrior with "money power."

Symbiotic Squads and Bio-engineers are the main offensive forces on the battlefield. The former fights against the flock of mechanical birds summoned by the leader, while the latter controls the B-level radioactive birds.

The sky was a dark, oppressive mass, filled with the minions of these three B-rank bosses, who were desperately employing a "refueling tactic."

In fact, B-class radiation beasts are not easy to fight. With their terrifying six-figure health, they can't be killed in a short time just by standing still and letting you hit them.

Moreover, the opponent's almost uninterrupted AOE skills could sweep away large areas, and apart from elite mechanical hunters and some super mercenaries from the security forces, almost no one could withstand them.

Moreover, for some unknown reason, of the 50 large combat robots that were supposed to appear in the fifth phase to carry out the interception mission, only about 20 actually showed up.

These "Iron Wall Type III" machines, with mechanical energy reaching up to 5,000, were supposed to be the main characters of the fourth phase.

This number is only enough to kill two large radiated beasts.

If they are split into three, the "kill rate" will be greatly reduced.

This is something that the 'commanders' who are watching from a distance cannot tolerate.

At this moment, in an underground command post, Brigadier General Mountain's face was gloomy, and several battle commanders were somewhat uneasy.

The reason is simple: on the outermost edge, the number of red dots increases while the number of blue dots guarding the perimeter decreases.

This indicates that the two A-level monsters were also aware of their purpose and were constantly stirring up beast tides to rescue people.

Opening the no-fly zone is the foundation for a series of subsequent military operations.

Eliminating B-class flying species is the only way.

"How could the bio-warriors suddenly go out of control on such a large scale?"

"Yes, I wonder how the ten biosynthesis camps in the rear are doing."

"If the battle is lost, will we have to resort to 'scorched earth tactics'?"

The commanders whispered among themselves; they were only responsible for the initial tactical arrangements, and once the fighting actually started, they could do nothing to help.

Ultimately, the ones who carry out the war are always those on the battlefield.

Demon Mountain Tiger's eyes were half-closed as he assessed whether to increase his forces. He did indeed have several elite units under his command, whose strength was no less than that of the "Biocolonizer Squad" he had sent out.

But these elite units were all used to deal with those two A-level monsters.

Once they are deployed, the two Class A radiated beasts will also be deployed.

This means the final battle will come sooner than expected.

Neither side was prepared for a decisive battle.

However, there is one advantage to the current decisive battle: the beast tide has not yet entered the next stage—a stage perfectly suited for fighting A-level radiation beasts.

The fact that The Mountain had this idea already proved his pessimism about the future of the war.

The best way to win the final battle is to split the two Class A radiation beasts up and fight them separately.

But a decisive battle now wouldn't be bad either.

At least there's no need to implement a scorched earth tactic.

He was still waiting; the three largest B-class mechanical birds had already been shot down, and he should be able to take down two of them without any surprises.

He plans to wait for the other two.

If we can take down the last two, we can consider a decisive battle. After all, once we regain air superiority, the security forces' various long-range weapons will be completely unrestricted.

Neither the Fission Duke nor the Crimson Queen has the ability to fly, which is a huge advantage.

Having defeated three B-grade radioactive beasts, I've honestly completed the basic mission.

But what if there's a surprise?

Above the sky, thunderclouds rolled, and from some unknown time, the massive layer of dark clouds began to descend, with dense thunderclaps echoing through the clouds.

Everyone couldn't help but look up at the sky. The terrifying pressure emanating from the two B-level radiation beasts was like a pot lid, causing even the main force on the battlefield to tremble.

Some were excited, some were thrilled, some were surprised, and some were worried.

However, the celestial phenomena do not change according to human will. Amidst the rumbling sounds of storms, dark clouds, and thunder, the sky brightened into daylight.

Although the ionizing radiation bird has a very beautiful appearance, with its smooth bird body, dazzling light like Thor, and rolling dark clouds around it.

But none of this can conceal the fact that it was actually being held down by the neck by another giant bird.

"How could this be?!"

The thought popped into everyone's mind.

The two colossal beasts, weighing nearly a hundred tons together, crashed down from the sky, creating a massive shockwave comparable to an 8-magnitude earthquake.

In the midst of the massive earthquake, dust engulfed everything, even causing several old buildings from the civilized era to collapse.

Amidst the dust, four powerful beings shot out and landed heavily on the ground, most of their energy nozzles going out.

Unlike mechs, once a mech's energy is depleted, it becomes a metal cage.

However, the Bio-Armor itself is a powerful melee weapon.

Amidst the smoke and dust, the seven-tailed pterosaur spread its wings, obscuring the sky, its two mechanical forepaws torn apart by the violent electric shocks.

This only made its appearance more ferocious.

Then, the seven-tailed pterosaur immediately changed direction and ran towards the outer perimeter.

"Where are you going?" Cape asked in surprise. Shouldn't they be dealing with the two most threatening B-class radioactive beasts right now?

"It's better to cut off one finger than to injure all ten!" The engineer spoke righteously, but what he was really thinking was—

"Nobody can stop me from getting kills!"

A severely injured Class B radioactive beast! How many days would it take me to grind for this gift pack?

As the seven-tailed pterosaur turned around, everyone saw the hunter knight on its neck.

In the underground command center, Demon Mountain's mouth gaped slightly. After a moment, he said excitedly, "Have the Rift Tiger Second Squad, the Berserkers, and the Shadow Force prepare to intercept!"

Behind the walls of Scavenger City, a colossal, highly radioactive figure pressed its hands against the walls, with fiery red magma overflowing from its palms.

On its shoulder, the Crimson Queen held a blood-coagulated spear, gazing expressionlessly into the distance.
