The Dark Demon Race was undoubtedly terrifying, and Lin Yuan was acutely aware of this. Previously, he had gotten lucky and killed one, thanks to the Ghost Spear.
However, more than that, he had benefited from the mindless suicide drones. The Black Bat-9 drones were already formidable in combat; while they might not match the overall strength of the Pterosaur H, they could unleash tremendous firepower in a short time during battles like this. Especially that last suicide attack—it was absolutely lethal!
It was precisely because of the comprehensive control exerted by these drones that Lin Yuan managed to take advantage of the situation. But replicating that success would be difficult; perhaps his second attempt would be the moment of his complete demise!
As he rushed forward, the dense mass of Dark Demon Race ahead loomed like enormous black bats in the night. With the surrounding black mist enveloping them, each one was roughly the size of half a football field. Their attack methods were bizarre and hard to describe, but Lin Yuan knew that even a single encounter would mean death!
In an instant, he closed the distance of several thousand meters. Just as he was about to collide with a massive Dark Demon Race creature, Lin Yuan executed a sharp right-wing roll, positioning himself upright on his side. This wasn’t an overly complex maneuver, but in the chaos of battle, timing was everything; being too early or too late could spell disaster!
Fortunately, Lin Yuan timed it perfectly. Every aspect fell into place beautifully. As he achieved his side position, the Energy Engine rapidly activated a backward thrust, abruptly halting his forward momentum!
Almost simultaneously, a drone closely following Lin Yuan darted past him just in time, crashing into the Dark Demon Race creature in a fiery explosion. The massive blast obliterated that Dark Demon Race and affected two others nearby.
Of course, Lin Yuan couldn’t escape unscathed either; his Health Points dropped by one-fifth, and that was with his Third Combat Form fully engaged with the Energy Shield.
Yet this was still cause for celebration for Lin Yuan. Every second he could buy mattered—who cared about honor or disgrace?
Before the shockwave from the explosion had even dissipated, he surged forward! His Third Combat Form moved with agility like a phantom. Meanwhile, the thirty-meter-long Ghost Spear silently slid ahead in this third form, locking onto a visibly weakened Dark Demon Race from the explosion. The Energy Engine surged to full power as he zipped past it like a dragonfly skimming water. The entire process was incredibly swift and seemed trivial amidst the chaos of battle.
But it was this fleeting moment that allowed Lin Yuan to successfully claim his second powerful Dark Demon Race!
The Ghost Spear truly lived up to its reputation; as long as conditions permitted and high-speed impact could be unleashed, it was nearly a guaranteed kill!
With a successful strike, Lin Yuan did not pause for a moment and immediately ascended, soaring upward in an incredibly graceful arc, quickly distancing himself from the approaching Dark Demon Race. Fortunately, for the time being, these Dark Demon Race did not possess ranged attack capabilities; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to pull off such maneuvers!
"Beep! Glory Badge activated. According to Intellect records, you have consecutively killed two D1-level Shadow Assault Soldiers. However, you are not a soldier of the Ninth Legion in this battle, so you cannot claim the kill merit. But you can choose to record this glory. Would you like to record it? Note: If you choose to record, you will activate the Elite Hundred Kill Mission. Completing this mission will earn you the Elite Hundred Kill Glory Badge."
Unexpected information appeared in Intellect once again. However, at that moment, Lin Yuan had no mind to consider it; what was a hundred kills to him?
Just then, Claire's voice suddenly rang out with excitement: "Sir! Sir! I have completed a thorough search of the battlefield and finished the basic tactical simulation. Now, please follow my orders and immediately evade toward the 0755 direction. After two seconds, leap to the 075 direction, covering a distance of five hundred meters each time, ensuring a 5-degree incline with each leap. Be careful; this is likely the trajectory of the military's main attack. As long as we follow their attack direction, we will be safe!"
As soon as Claire's words echoed, Lin Yuan—who had almost turned into a headless chicken—immediately acted according to her specified direction. At that moment, he would unconditionally trust Claire.
"0755... 075..."
This was a slightly inclined arc that deviated from the front line of the Dark Demon Race, more like skirting around them. Initially, Lin Yuan had no idea what was happening, but after narrowly dodging over a dozen frenzied suicide drones with great effort, he finally began to see some clues!
It turned out that the Dark Messenger was using two waves of drones for suicide attacks—one side aimed to block the advance of the Dark Demon Race while the other was for the upcoming tactics. After all, if both armies clashed head-on, it would undoubtedly be catastrophic. In front of the numerically superior Dark Demon Race, the military's Battle Machines and drones could not maximize their strengths; it was akin to cavalry needing an extremely wide battlefield to unleash their full power!
These two waves of suicide attacks were meant to clear the way for the main force behind them!
As expected, when Lin Yuan leaped to the fourth point as indicated by Claire, the previously chaotic battlefield suddenly transformed. The drones that had been madly launching suicide attacks abruptly ceased their self-detonations and quickly formed into a wedge-shaped formation in an arc known as Hexagonal Array, gliding past the Dark Demon Race's line like dragonflies skimming water.
Though it was a light touch, these Black Bat-9 drones were not to be trifled with. Their insane firepower output and protruding collision angles could easily send demons flying and kill them on impact. Compared to them, Lin Yuan's spear-piercing technique fell short!
Fortunately, Lin Yuan managed to evade that frenzied and disastrous suicide rhythm and joined forces with these drones. At that moment, the main force of the Dark Messenger finally made its appearance!
It was not the Elite Warriors that Lin Yuan had imagined, but a brand new type, resembling a Delta Wing Fighter like a Bayonet, measuring a full five hundred meters in length. This Battle Machine had a very simple overall design; at the front was a sharp spike, from which three line wings extended. Each line wing was extremely sharp, resembling a Bayonet standing upright!
This Battle Machine was clearly a pure close-combat type, carrying no Long-Range Attack Weapons. Upon its appearance, there were exactly five hundred of them. In the blink of an eye, they spread out along the arc-shaped Hexagonal Array formed by the drones, slicing through the air at high speed. In an instant, the Hexagonal Array of the Dark Demon Race was filled with cries of despair, as countless Dark Demon Race members were cut into pieces! (To be continued.)
