The Military's Way of Fighting
Inside a relatively intact high-rise over thirty stories tall, Qin Ming's group relied on Mental Force as they swiftly swept toward the rooftop.
After killing dozens of Beast Soldier Level Monsters, they soon reached the rooftop.
"Roar—"
An exceptionally deep, intimidating roar came from afar, making even Qin Ming feel a sense of pressure.
"It's the sound of a tiger-type Monster!"
Zhang Yan's ears perked up, his expression grave.
Tiger-type?
Was this the big one the captain had mentioned?
Qin Ming was startled as well. Tiger-type Monsters had already been rare before the Great Nirvana, and they had been incredibly powerful.
Tigers had always been known as the kings of all beasts.
After evolving through the Great Nirvana, tiger-type Monsters had become far wilder and more vicious than before. Their strength had likewise increased beyond measure.
Even in this age, they still stood at the top of the food chain.
Among Monsters of the same rank, they were king-level existences.
Whoosh!
Qin Ming darted to the edge of the rooftop and looked down in the direction of the tiger's roar.
In the ruins of a street roughly two kilometers away stood an enormous beast horde. At the center of over ten thousand Monsters was a giant tiger, nearly five meters tall at the shoulder and over ten meters long.
The giant tiger's fur was entirely fiery red. As it walked, it seemed as though blazing flames burned around it, and every beast it passed bowed in submission.
"That's the Crimson Flame Tiger King, an extremely powerful tiger-type Monster whose strength is very close to the Lord Level! I fought it once during reconnaissance.
That Beast had Beast Soldiers under its command, so I couldn't kill it either."
Captain Lu Haochuan took out a high-powered telescope and observed it carefully.
Crimson Flame Tiger King?
Qin Ming searched through the Monster data in his mind. Right, this was indeed the Crimson Flame Tiger King!
The Crimson Flame Tiger King was a top-tier existence even among tiger-type Monsters, a natural Monster king.
The weakest adult Crimson Flame Tiger Kings were High-Level Beast Generals, while the strongest among them could even surpass the God of War Level.
They were enormous, immensely powerful, and astonishingly swift, like a ball of blazing flame. That was why they were called Crimson Flame Tiger Kings.
Monsters such as Bloodthirsty Tanks and Lion Mastiff Dogs, even at the same rank, were no match for them.
"How are we supposed to fight this? There are over ten thousand Monsters. That Monster over there is the number-one pig-type Monster, the Fire-scaled Trident Boar, right? Judging by its size, it should be an Advanced Beast General.
And over there, that Shadow Cat is too fast. It probably has the strength of an Advanced Beast General too."
Qin Ming also took out a high-powered telescope and began searching through the Monster horde. A crowd of over ten thousand people was already a sea of people; over ten thousand massive Monsters were simply overwhelming.
Yet even so, Qin Ming quickly locked onto a Fire-scaled Trident Boar. Its body was covered in fiery red scales, and three tall, curved horns on its head pointed forward. It was as large as a truck, only slightly smaller than the Crimson Flame Tiger King.
In the ruins on the other side, he discovered a large pack of Shadow Cats darting about at high speed. These Shadow Cats were not large, only a little over half a meter long, but they were incredibly fast.
Though the leader was only a little over a meter long, even the Crimson Flame Tiger King was far inferior to it in speed.
There were also more than a dozen Intermediate Beast Generals, along with nearly a hundred Primary General Level Monsters.
If they truly charged in, their squad would probably be wiped out on the spot.
"How do we fight? You're still unfamiliar with the military's methods of warfare. The entirety of City 003 lies within our firepower coverage!"
Lu Haochuan smiled and shook his head, having guessed Qin Ming's thoughts.
"Xiao Heng, prepare to guide the artillery strike!"
"Understood!" Xiao Heng, beside them, chuckled and pulled an instrument from his backpack, aiming it at the beast horde two kilometers away. Red dots representing Monster life signals swiftly appeared on the device.
The densely packed life signals formed one enormous mass, but the most powerful Monsters among them, such as the Crimson Flame Tiger King and the Fire-scaled Trident Boar, were still marked out.
After fiddling with it for a moment, Xiao Heng connected to the rear base.
"Data transmitted. Coordinates synchronizing. Requesting artillery fire." Xiao Heng's Adam's apple bobbed beneath his mask. "Repeat, coordinates xxxx, xxxx."
"Received! Attacking coordinates xxxx, xxxx." A woman's voice came from the rear command center, distorted by static.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Just over ten seconds later, a deep rumble sounded in the distance, as though the earth were trembling and the sky were weeping.
Then streaks of fire tore across the sky, plunging straight toward the Monster horde.
Large-caliber artillery shells fell like meteors, turning the whole sky crimson as countless Heavy Artillery shells shrieked into the beast horde.
Within the fireballs of exploding 152-millimeter high-explosive shells, herds of Iron-armored Oxen were blown away like scraps of paper, while burning fragments of scales embedded themselves in concrete walls over ten meters away.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The distinctive muffled blasts of thermobaric bombs followed in rapid succession.
Amid the suffocating sensation of air being sucked away, Qin Ming saw Shadow Cats' fur ignite into fireballs and Single-horned Wild Boars' bodies burst apart under the extreme heat.
The Crimson Flame Tiger King, Fire-scaled Trident Boar, and other Beast General Level Monsters with the strongest life auras were given special attention by several Heavy Missiles, whose terrifying shockwaves swept across a radius of hundreds of meters.
Even a colossal creature like the Fire-scaled Trident Boar, with its astonishing size and weight of dozens of tons, was hurled into the air. Heavy Missile fragments tore apart the scales covering its entire body, leaving it drenched in blood.
The vast beast horde of over ten thousand Monsters was almost instantly torn apart and completely engulfed by flames.
Even from two kilometers away, Qin Ming could feel the terrifying might of ten thousand guns firing at once.
After just one round of bombardment, nearly half the beast horde had vanished!
But this was only the beginning. The second round, the third round...
"Damn! That's brutal!"
Qin Ming's scalp tingled. If he had been caught within such artillery coverage, he would have almost certainly died.
By the time the smoke from the third barrage cleared, the already ruined street had been completely reduced to scorched earth.
Of the original horde of over ten thousand Monsters, only severed limbs and broken corpses remained. Only a very small number of Beast Soldiers and Beast General Level Monsters had survived, and all of them were injured.
Even blood dripped from the Crimson Flame Tiger King's forehead, and one of its hind legs bent unnaturally. It was clearly badly hurt.
The Fire-scaled Trident Boar staggered to its feet from the Sea of Fire. As for the less defensively capable Advanced Beast General Shadow Cat, it had already disappeared without a trace.
"Now it's our turn! Don't let your guard down. The Crimson Flame Tiger King still retains most of its combat strength, and more than fifty Beast General Level Monsters remain.
This will be a hard fight!"
Lu Haochuan let out a low roar. Everyone in the squad leaped down from the high-rise in combat formation. After several flashes and jumps, Qin Ming's Mental Force erupted the instant they landed, supporting everyone and setting them down lightly.
Their coordination was exceptionally seamless.
Lu Haochuan, who had been directing the group from the center until now, charged at the front. His target was the Crimson Flame Tiger King, while Yue Shan, wielding the Shield Tower, unhesitatingly chose the Fire-scaled Trident Boar.
Almost the instant they appeared, the dazed Crimson Flame Tiger King's eyes erupted with unforgettable hatred, fury, and madness.
Its intelligence was extremely high, no less than that of a human.
In an instant, it understood that the sudden devastating strike had come from the humans before it!
"Roar—"
With the tiger's roar, the remaining beast horde immediately entered a berserk state.
A great battle was about to erupt!
