Clang!
As the barrage subsided and the dust settled, the Project Armor's iron fist delivered a finishing blow, knocking the head of the last Taotie soldier nearby crooked.
After the terrifying bombardment, no Taotie soldiers dared to surround them any longer. Lee Stein flew toward the building where Leina was, riding the Multi-Function Combat Platform after it had split apart again. The Taotie soldiers that had originally been besieging the area scattered like birds and beasts, fleeing in panic.
"Ge Xiaolun, Zhao Xin... respond if you can hear me. Regroup for combat. Cover Du Qiangwei as she breaks through the shield."
The moment he landed on the rooftop, Lee Stein heard Leina issuing rapid commands.
The Taotie's technology was far more advanced—or rather, far more comprehensive—than the Chitauri's. Their main vanguard flagship not only possessed space-jump technology, but also an energy barrier capable of defending against nuclear strikes.
The energy barrier protected the vanguard flagship from every direction. The military's firepower simply could not reach the flagship, and the members of the Black Company had no way to deal with it either. Their only chance was to have Du Qiangwei, who specialized in micro-wormhole transport technology, use a space jump to pass through the shield and then guide the South China Sea Fleet's bombardment.

Before this, the Black Company had been beaten so badly that they could
