Immediately, Han Xiao's tablet received an alert from Unit-01 Spider. He jumped into the truck driver's seat and called to Frenzied Sword, who were standing nearby. During the past two days of waiting, Frenzied Sword had never logged off. Han Xiao remembered that the game pods of this era did not yet have complete body detection and nutrition maintenance functions.

No wonder he's a professional gamer, he's got amazing kidneys.

"Let's go," Han Xiao said.

"Oh..." Frenzied Sword were completely confused, not knowing what to do, but following Han Xiao was definitely the right thing to do.

The dark-colored truck was coated with a layer of SUI Anti-Radar Coating, which Han Xiao created using [Basic Wide-Area Detection]. The effect was quite good, reducing the chances of being detected by radar.

Once Stardragon and the Germinal ground forces meet, a clash of titans will ignite a tempest, creating an opportunity to fish in troubled waters.

First, a suitable Sniping location must be found, not too close to the main battlefield. Han Xiao had already chosen his destination: a hilly cliff in the Cloud Gorge Valley, which was perfect for aiming at the open plain behind the woods. Once the Germinal troops left the woods, his eagerly awaiting gun would be ready to unleash its power.

The only problem was that he had to get around to the hills first and avoid being detected by the army's radar. The coating couldn't be 100% secure, and there was a chance of being exposed. But he wasn't too worried. Once the Germinal were close, the army in the valley wouldn't be able to pay attention to him anymore.

The truck sped into the valley forest.

"Commander Huang! Suspicious target detected on radar!"

In the Stardragon Dragon's command tent, a soldier shouted loudly. Huang Qiuming rushed to the radar screen and saw a flashing light enter the Cloud Gorge Valley. The signal was intermittent, suggesting that the enemy had some anti-radar capabilities. However, the Stardragon Army was carrying a military radar with high power this time.

"Only one target?" Huang Qiuming frowned, thinking it was the advance Reconnaissance of Germinal, but the location shown by the radar was not in the same direction as Germinal's advance route, and the deviation was huge.

"No matter what, let's deal with this first." Huang Qiuming didn't want any unexpected factors to affect the plan, and was about to order a standby assault force to attack when all the Detection screens went black!

"What happened?!"

Huang Qiuming shouted.

The soldiers frantically tried to calibrate, but to no avail.

"Sir, our radar has been disabled by a strong electromagnetic radiation attack. The attack is directed at the advance route of the Germinal unit. We detected their presence three minutes ago and have preliminarily determined that they possess some kind of advanced radar-destroying device!"

"They want to blind us. Activate the backup radar and implement electronic silence, randomly turning it on every five to twelve seconds." Huang Qiuming calmly gave the order. As for the suspicious target from before, they could only put it aside for the time being. The most important thing was the enemy's Germinal main force.

Suddenly, a sharp, rapidly approaching shriek echoed through the sky.

More than a dozen medium-range missiles, trailing plumes of flame, flew toward the Stardragon position, suddenly splitting into a dense cluster of warheads in mid-air, which quickly fell to the ground.

Meanwhile, the ground convoy that had just Germinal its missile finally entered the forest area on the outskirts of Cloud Gorge Valley.

Ugar's face was grim. The convoy carried an experimental anti-radar device in its Germinal of development. It could detect radar and release strong electromagnetic radiation to remotely destroy radar that was in operation, and also reverse-engineer the location of enemy radar.

Ugar believed that it was the enemy's position, so he ordered the few honeycomb missile launchers in the convoy to attack and release cluster missiles, which were stable weapons that had basically passed the experimental stage.

Unbeknownst to him, destroying Stardragon's radar indirectly did Han Xiao a favor.

This tactic was certainly ineffective against Stardragon's forces. Sure enough, from a great distance, Ugar saw a dense array of missile interceptor machine guns sweeping across the sky, detonating all the mother-daughter missiles in mid-air.

Both sides have been preparing for a long time; it's just a matter of which side is better prepared!

"The enemy will Restart their radar soon. We don't have much time; we must rush over immediately!"

Ugar, his face grim, ordered, "Minesweeper, move in!"

Vehicles equipped with mine detectors led the way at the front of the convoy, quickly detecting the area where Stardragon had laid mines. They used machine guns to detonate them in advance, and amidst the flashes and explosions, the Germinal convoy advanced without incident.

However, the anti-radar device was detected once again. This time, Stardragon used electromagnetic silence tactics, quickly activating it and deactivating it before the anti-radar device Germinal be used, thus preventing it from being destroyed again. Ugar knew that the real battle was about to begin.

The sound of helicopter rotors whipping up the wind came from the sky as they approached at low altitude. The next second, machine guns roared down, striking from above. The Germinal convoy could only brave the gunfire and push forward, facing extreme danger.

Amidst the roar of artillery fire, Ugar roared and ordered, "Fire graphite bombs!"

A dozen small graphite rockets shot into the sky and exploded in the air among the helicopter group. Many helicopters immediately began to fly erratically and erratically. Graphite bombs can cause localized short circuits, and the Stardragon helicopter group suffered a loss, with their machine guns becoming sparse.

"Mihawks, once we break out of the woods, you immediately lead the assault troops to storm the enemy position and carry out a decapitation strike! Your mission is crucial; at the very least, you must distract the enemy!" Ugar said in a deep voice over the walkie-talkie.

Inside an troop carrier, the burly Mihawks gave a curt "hmm" in response. He was an executive officer with the Germinal Ground Forces and had long been infamous. He was a formidable martial artist whose tactical mission was to lead several elite squads, carrying individual explosives, to assault enemy positions. The martial artist's agile movements, combined with his bulletproof vest, allowed him to maneuver through a hail of bullets.

The role of superhumans on the battlefield is generally focused on assaults and decapitation strikes.

On the other side of the Stardragon position, Huang Qiuming watched expressionlessly as the Germinal troops rapidly advanced through the woods, and said, "Missile coverage array ready, armored vehicle units on standby, and elite squads, be prepared to deal with any possible enemy assault forces!"

Stardragon's elite squad consists of the strongest and most elite soldiers in the army, including some superhumans. Superhumans possess decapitation capabilities on the battlefield, so Stardragon was well-prepared for this and was ready to go.

The scene of large-scale warfare shocked Long Sky, Frenzied Sword Fried Rice, and Jiang Yuluo, who were in the Logistics Department. The tense atmosphere, the smell of gunpowder, and the roar of artillery fire made it clear that they were not capable of participating at their level.

"When the missile hit, I thought I was going to die." Frenzied Sword Fried Rice patted his chest, looking terrified.

Long Sky a bitter smile, "Let's just stick to transporting supplies. We can't handle those combat missions."

Jiang Yuluo's expression was cool, but her tone carried a hint of determination, "I want to give it a try."

"We only have a few small pistols, what can we do with them?"

I want to try it.

"Let's forget it, we're just going there to deliver it."

I want to try it.

Long Sky looked at Frenzied Sword Fried Rice and said helplessly, "Alright, alright, you're pretty, you're the best, let's go together."

Jiang Yuluo remained expressionless. After receiving their consent, she turned and left swiftly, leaving the two no choice but to follow behind.

While the fighting raged on the other side, Han Xiao leisurely drove to his destination. The hilly area offered a wide view, and he could see the intense explosions and flames in the distant woods.

Some of the spider detectors hidden in the woods were destroyed by stray bullets, but the rest still faithfully broadcast the latest battle situation to Han Xiao. Judging from their positions, the Germinal convoy would soon break out of the woods and enter the plains.

Further afield on the Taidamila River, flames were also rising. Han Xiao took out his binoculars and saw through the lens that the Germinal fleet on the river was being attacked, and the attack was even more ferocious than that on the Cloud Gorge Valley.

Before the Germinal fleet even reached the estuary, it was bombed and attacked by fighter jets. Missiles rained down, and the fleet's machine guns couldn't stop firing for even a second. The scorching orange-red barrage swept across the night sky, and bursts of sparks erupted in the air. If you didn't know the details, you would think it was fireworks.

It's time to prepare.

Thinking this, Han Xiao took out several small folding turret base discs, pondered for a moment, and created a rewarding mission, which he then gave to Frenzied Sword.

Setting traps is something that should be done by the cannon... player.

While Frenzied Sword were busy setting up traps, Han Xiao took out a mechanical device resembling a neck pillow, put it on the back of his neck, and placed it against a soft pad of unknown material. He then turned it on, and a tingling electric shock spread from the back of his neck to his brain. Han Xiao shuddered and immediately felt invigorated as if he had taken a stimulant.

[You have gained the [Excitement] status, all attributes +5%, lasting for twenty minutes!]

This machine is called an [Electromagnetic Pulse Conditioner], a special piece of equipment that uses electromagnetic waves to condition living organisms. It can improve one's condition after use. Han Xiao obtained the blueprints for this machine by chance during a knowledge fusion.

After quickly getting everything ready and activating all the necessary settings, Han Xiao lay prone with the Ghost Gauss Sniping Rifle in hand, the Kestrel Sniping Rifle beside him. His eyes, sharp as a hawk's, were fixed on the changing battle situation.

"Boom!"

A grove of trees was blown up, and the Germinal convoy finally broke out of the woods.

Come on, little baby.

Han Xiao narrowed his eyes.
