Chapter 388 - Drop from the Sky. Clearing Exotic Beasts (1/2)

At the place where the demonic gateway was located, the tragic scene from the heavy bombardment had recovered quite a bit.

Obviously, the remaining demonic creatures, as well as those who newly crossed over the gateway, had cleaned up the surrounding area.

At the moment, the nearby exotic beasts still had the area surrounded.

It was like there was an irreconcilable grudge between the two sides. Only when one of them was completely destroyed would this war finally come to an end. Originally, their war was something humanity would love to see. However, their arena happened to be on Mercury.

The aircraft didn’t fly directly to the warzone. Instead, it stopped about a hundred kilometers away.

Aboard the plane, Zhang Che and the others were currently listening to the mission assigned to them by the military.

“Remember, the main mission of the twenty-three squads here is to support the main force in killing the stronger exotic beasts and clearing a path to the core area, preventing casualties among the ordinary beastmaster groups.

“There’s three more minutes before we drop off. Please ready yourselves.”

Zhang Che and the others hurriedly packed their own equipment and items, waiting for the cabin door to open.

Those who joined in on this mission were Tier Four beastmasters at the very least, and were the more competent ones of the batch. How could they possibly not have flying beasts?

So, in order to prevent any unwanted accidents during the landing, the aircraft wouldn’t bring them directly to the ground. Instead, they would jump off from a thousand meters in the air and each of them would summon their own flying beast to descend.

In any case, the airplane had switched over to helicopter flying style, hovering in the air. There wouldn’t be any danger in them jumping off from the aircraft.

Three minutes passed by in a flash. On command, the cabin door suddenly opened. As the acting captain, Zhang Che was the first to jump out. With a wave of his hand, a five-colored ray shot out. The Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon appeared under him in the nick of time, catching him easily.

Looking up from the ground, the aircraft opened their cabin doors one after another. Beastmasters came jumping out of them rapidly and rode down on their respective flying subdued beasts, arriving at the ice plains on the ground quickly in an organized manner.

The commotion here had finally alarmed the exotic beasts ahead.

Soon, a large group of exotic beasts quickly came towards them, be it by running or flying.

Although the demonic creatures were the arch-enemies of the exotic beasts, the latter weren’t friendly to humanity, either. Otherwise, the conflict between them would have been resolved many years ago.

“Attention everyone, attention everyone! The fighter jets ahead will buy you ten minutes of time. After ten minutes, the convoy will withdraw!”

As the high-efficiency loudspeakers on the transportation aircraft rang out, miniature missiles were launched out of the bellies of the fighters ahead, leaving trails of flames behind them as they flew towards the exotic beast groups that were charging over from the area ahead.

Amid the noise of the explosions, all the descending beastmasters quickly formed into their groups. Afterwards, all kinds of subdued beasts were summoned, forming a massive army of subdued beasts to push forward.

The mid-tier beastmasters gathered from both civilians and the military numbered several thousand, and their subdued beasts totaled tens of thousands. They were closely packed together, seemingly without end in sight.

The twenty-three squads Zhang Che belonged to were among the army, ready to take on the stronger exotic beasts that ordinary beastmasters had trouble dealing with.

The waves of explosions soon ended.

After a round of concentrated bombardment, the remnant exotic beasts were greatly reduced in numbers. However, what was left were all the relatively stronger ones. Every one of them let out furious roars, continuing their charge towards the army of beastmasters on the ground.

Zhang Che looked at all the different exotic beasts ahead with narrowed eyes. He looked back toward the squad members behind him and said, “Everyone, follow me closely. Don’t fall behind!”

Since they already knew Zhang Che’s identity, despite not being familiar with one another, none of them had any doubts about his orders. They acknowledged in unison, “Yes, captain!”

Going forward, who knew how dangerous the battle would be? With such a strong captain leading them, naturally he would be the core of the team, and the squad members would follow closely, to prevent getting surrounded by the powerful exotic beasts.

The distance between the beastmaster army and the exotic beasts grew closer and closer. Everyone could already see the exotic beasts’ appearances vividly.

“Sharp knives teams, attack!” came the command from the wireless earpiece. The twenty-three squads immediately came forth from within the massive army, leading the charge against the exotic beast army.

The exotic beasts that were charging at the front were naturally among the stronger ones.

Those exotic beasts couldn’t be allowed to charge into the much weaker mid-tier beastmasters. They had to be dealt with by Zhang Che and the rest of the twenty-three squads.

“Everyone, maintain the formation, charge with me!”
