Chapter 664 – Dividing
Lan Xuanyu looked at the military mechas in the distance. There were at least a few thousand mechas standing on the fortress. They were all purple mechas and not the standard yellow mechas of the military. They were obviously elite mecha teams of the Federation.
The strange thing about these mechas was that they were not equipped with long-range weapons, but all of them were equipped with battle sabers. They were the same large, high-frequency vibration battle sabers. They were able to produce strong cutting power in an instant.
Among these mechas, there was no lack of black mechas. They were obviously the officers of the mecha squad.
A low rumbling sound gradually resounded in their ears as Lan Xuanyu looked into the distance. In the distance, there was a huge cloud of dust and the ground was trembling as though an invisible giant beast was crushing towards them.
In the sky, the flying Proto Dragons were the first to appear in their line of sight. Hundreds of gigantic flying Proto Dragons were circling in the sky. It was the same type that they saw when their spacecraft landed.
Then, Lan Xuanyu saw the gigantic Proto Dragon that glared at them and almost pulled them over.
It was too tall, and its terrifying body was too eye-catching in the plains. A large number of Proto Dragons charged in front of it without stopping and headed straight for the fortress.
“The protective barrier will block the Proto Dragons, but it will also intentionally let some enter inside. At that time, all of you have to coordinate with the military to attack them. Try not to use any firearms to ensure that their Dragon Source Crystal will not be damaged. Understand?” Yan Ruoting turned to Lan Xuanyu.
Lan Xuanyu’s heart skipped a beat. He suddenly realized why the Dragon Source base didn’t take the initiative to attack. Since the Dragon tide occurred once every few months, it seemed like it was an opportunity for the military to harvest Dragon Source Crystals. It was no wonder that all the mechas were equipped with battle sabers to hunt the Dragon Source Crystals.
Once every few months, it would be enough for the military to obtain a lot of Dragon Crystals. And for Sky Fighters to carry out such a mission, it was just icing on the cake. It seemed like this mission was just a form of training for Sky Fighters.
His guess was right. In fact, missions below the third rank were mostly for Sky Fighters to train and help them grow. It was relatively less dangerous.
After reaching the fourth rank, the difficulty would increase substantially and it would be a true Sky Fighter mission.
Correspondingly, Sky Fighters below the third rank were considered to be groomed and naturally wouldn’t be valued. And Sky Fighters above the fourth rank were the true helpers of the Federation.
Looking at the Proto Dragons from the fortress, it was extremely shocking. It was an horrific sight as tens of thousands of Proto Dragons surged forward like a tide and charged towards the base of Dragon Source Planet.
Right at this moment, the protective barrier around the base suddenly disappeared and was retracted. Immediately, a large number of Proto Dragons crossed the area of the protective barrier and charged towards the base.
The protective barrier was reactivated ten seconds later and separated the charging Proto Dragons from the ones behind. There were loud and intense collisions and a large number of Proto Dragons were blocked outside. There were also over a thousand Proto Dragons that had charged in.
In the distance, the gigantic Proto Dragon that was over a hundred meters tall suddenly opened its mouth and shot out a gigantic light pillar towards the protective barrier of the base.
On the fortress, a gigantic soul cannon with a diameter of over five meters rumbled and unleashed a gigantic pillar of light. It went through the one-way defensive barrier and faced that strong light.
Two rays of light collided in the air and exploded into a sky full of light, sending countless Proto Dragons flying.
The tactics of the Douluo Federation’s military were not brilliant at all. They used the protective barrier of the fortress to isolate part of the dragon tide and then engaged in close combat to kill the Proto Dragons that entered inside to harvest their Dragon Crystals.
But this was built on the strong defense of the base, and also on the premise that the Proto Dragons were foolish enough…
The mecha troops on the city walls seemed to have received an order and leaped down from the city walls to meet the thousands of Proto Dragons that were released.
Just as Yan Ruoting had said, there were no long-range attacks being released because they were afraid that the heat weapons would hurt the Dragon Source Crystals. They were all engaged in close combat.
Without needing Yan Ruoting to say anything, Lan Xuanyu shouted, “Everyone, release your Battle Armors and engage in battle. The first team will be in front, the second team will be behind, the third team will provide support, and the fourth team will be in control.”
Unified silver Battle Armors were released one after another. Qian Lei was the first to jump down excitedly. He was the only one who didn’t release his Battle Armor because the defensive power of the Golden Behemoth’s fur was already very strong. Battle Armors had some restrictions on him. At the very least, just a One-Word Battle Armor wasn’t very useful yet. Lan Xuanyu didn’t know how to deal with this as he felt that Qian Lei’s Battle Armor might have to be specially designed.
The top of the fortress was also over a hundred meters high, but it was nothing to a soul master. Qian Lei slid down the wall of the fortress, and the hair on his back produced enough friction to cause a spark as he quickly landed.
The others followed closely behind and quickly landed.
Yan Ruoting got back on her mecha and flew up. She controlled her mecha to float in midair and paid attention to these youths from Shrek Academy.
Although she was somewhat dissatisfied with Lan Xuanyu’s team triggering the Proto Dragon Tide, these were the elites of Shrek Academy, after all, and she didn’t dare to relax. Although Sky Fighters were responsible for their own lives, Sky Fighters still had to take responsibility to a certain extent. For example, whether the difficulty of the mission was compatible with the level, and if there was a possibility of helping Sky Fighters, they had to help.
Hence, she didn’t enter the battle directly but paid attention to these youths. Once she discovered that they were in danger, she would help them in time.
In Yan Ruoting’s heart, ever since Lan Xuanyu and his team boarded the spacecraft, she didn’t think much of it because there were too many people. What did it mean for dozens of people to carry out a mission together? It meant that they weren’t strong enough and had to stick together for warmth! At least that was what she thought.
At this moment, under her gaze, those 33 youths had already descended from the city walls and were not in a rush to enter the battle. Instead, they quickly formed a formation. The youth that spoke to her previously was in the middle, and only then did they charge towards the Proto Dragons.
The youth that was the first to jump off the city wall swelled up rapidly and became four meters tall in the blink of an eye. What was that in his hand? A meteor hammer? Why did it look so familiar? It was huge!
While Yan Ruoting was in a daze, these youths had already rushed to the front of the Proto Dragon group.
A ball of fire soared into the sky as though a sun had appeared out of thin air. Following that, consecutive fireballs shot out and bombarded the Proto Dragons.
At the command center of Dragon Source Planet.
A general with the rank of major general was observing the battle on the large screens before him. As the commander of the Dragon Source Planet base, Lei Junze was commanding the entire battle.
He suddenly saw a large number of fireballs appearing on one of the big screens and couldn’t help but frown. “Which team is that? Who asked them to use fire elements to attack? Don’t they know that they would destroy the Dragon Crystals?”
“I think he’s a Sky Fighter,” a staff officer said.
“Zoom in and take a look,” Lei Junze said in a deep voice that was filled with anger.
After many tests, Dragon Source Crystals had proven to be a very good source of energy. It could be used alongside the Positive Circulation Source Core and didn’t need to be refined at all. The stronger the Dragon Source, the higher the quality of the Dragon Source Crystal produced. Right now, this was already considered an important base for the Federation to provide energy for a long time.
And just as Lan Xuanyu guessed, the best way to obtain Dragon Source Crystals in the base was when there was a dragon tide. A large number of Dragon Source Crystals were delivered to their doorstep. Then, how were they going to take out all their Dragon Source Crystals? Naturally, they couldn’t use powerful soul weapons to bombard them as that would destroy the Dragon Source Crystals. That was why they had this close combat method.
