Compared with the monsters they had encountered before, this one was clearly a greater threat. Li Wei frowned as he watched the soldier it had killed turn into a skeleton monster encased in ice and snow almost in the blink of an eye. This thing was obviously much harder to deal with than the ordinary monsters.
But that did not mean the Empire could not handle it!
"Armored Infantry Mechs, withdraw from the combat zone immediately and fire signal flares! Knight Mechs, advance and prepare to unleash fire!"
At Li Wei's command, the Armored Infantry Mechs immediately fell back. At the same time, they swiftly raised their guns, loaded them with warheads resembling RPG rounds, aimed at the monster ahead, and pulled their triggers.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
A volley of warheads shot toward the shadowy giant, then burst in midair, unleashing a succession of dazzling flashes!
The blinding light, almost as bright as daylight, made the shadow monster howl in agony. Yet the ice-and-snow skeleton it had created seemed entirely unaffected. It roared and spread its arms, the icy spikes covering its body bristling like a hedgehog's quills as it charged toward the troops.
If this monster reached the crowd, it would inevitably cause uncontrollable chaos and casualties!
But just then, a hard steel body appeared before the icy skeleton like a city wall and knocked it straight back!
"Thud!"
Steam billowed from the Knight Mech, its gears spinning at full speed, the whistle of its venting air sounding like a beast's roar. Then it raised its flamethrower and aimed at the enemy before it.
"Whoosh!"
Scorching flames erupted from the flamethrower, completely engulfing the monster. Meanwhile, several other Knight Mechs hurried over, raised their flamethrowers, and joined the fight.
"Aaaaargh!"
Under the torrent of flames hot enough to burn
