However, as long as it comes under attack, this Raptor can still be easily eliminated.
"There aren't many flying bugs, and can't the Human Air Force win? What is this?" An elderly man slammed the table in anger, clearly frustrated with the Mecha Association's combat capabilities in this space.
"Calm down and take a seat," Hilbert cleared his throat and continued.
As soon as he spoke, everyone around fell silent.
The situation over there was still uncertain; the bugs' counterattack was ongoing. No one would have any opinions about him, as this was within reason. The scene on the ground was far from the comfort of sitting in a conference room. Those warriors caught in battle could become casualties at any moment. Moreover, this operation aimed to slow down the Zerg's advance; if they could delay their progress for eight hours, it would be considered a success.
The cooperation between the Human Alliance and the Mecha Association was their first attempt. Initially, they suffered some losses, but soon, under the strategist's redeployment, their tactical objectives became very clear. Although many lives were sacrificed at the beginning as a foundation, this tactic indeed yielded results.
The few flying Dragonwing Insects were quickly obliterated amidst the gunfire. Their wings were shattered, and their heavy bodies could no longer float in mid-air, crashing down into the Swarm below. The artillery used was extremely powerful; the Mecha Association's mech soldiers employed large-caliber cannons that could sweep across targets with laser fire. While bullets couldn't penetrate their armored exoskeletons, lasers could slice through the insects' flesh in an instant.
It was still hard to predict how things would unfold; once the strategic deployment began, the situation changed dramatically.
Below ground, chaos erupted with explosions lighting up the area like a mushroom cloud.
Countless bugs on the surface opened their mouths to scream. Although they could perceive their surroundings, they couldn't relay sounds to pinpoint areas back to the conference room.
Yet it was still possible to see the real-time situation of the war; bugs were being slaughtered, their bodies littering the ground, some even blown sky-high by bombs. This barrage would continue for a long time; those bugs had such low IQ that they didn't understand how to hide effectively and kept advancing in clusters. Organizing an attack like that meant that as long as there was bombardment in front of their positions, the flames would trigger their panic response.
Thus, this tactic began to take effect; ahead lay a massive Firewall. Aircraft continued to drop Napalm, incendiary bombs that easily fueled fires were also thrown into the mix. The flames could burn for over an hour, ensuring that their momentum wouldn't extinguish easily. The human side kept expanding the width of the flames, trying to trap these bugs within a circle of fire and annihilate them all together.
After the Human Alliance launched the Missile, those very old Missiles piled up in the warehouse, which were almost ready to be cleared out and destroyed. In this critical moment, regardless of whether they could still function, all were targeted and launched into the sky. As for the bugs, they clearly had no idea they had been locked on and truly believed they could struggle free through sheer brute force.
Overall, it did slow down their advance. Seeing this, the generals in the conference room seemed to glimpse hope; their expressions shifted from numbness to confidence, as if many blind men had suddenly seen a glimmer of light. This indicated that the recovery of sight for the blind was not far off.
To prepare for the next step, they needed to act quickly while the bugs had not yet reached that area. It was a new strategic deployment. After all, there was plenty of explosives in the warehouse that they usually hesitated to use. It wouldn’t make sense to have soldiers carry explosive packs one for two when the bugs came knocking at their door. Such a strategy might lead to losing all the soldiers in the barracks without inflicting significant damage on the bugs.
This time, during the Cosmic Bug War, they finally encountered a real challenge, which made everyone extremely excited. The happiest among them were those who received their desired equipment; this battle felt much better prepared than previous ones. Especially with Xiong Tai wielding the Primordial Thunder Hammer, capable of sweeping away everything with immense power. The Thunder Hammer's effect could shatter obstacles within ten meters; even its shockwave could tear apart muscle. One could only imagine how strong such destructive power was. However, while bulls were not as formidable as bugs and lacked human armor, they were still not to be underestimated; a sound wave alone could kill prey, showcasing considerable destructive capability.
However, the Primordial Thunder Hammer also had its weakness: it required charging. Despite its weight and sweeping force making it difficult for opponents to block, Freyr had tested its might before. When he attempted to block it with both hands, his muscles cramped painfully, forcing him back several steps with a sharp pain in his chest. If he hadn’t been wearing armor to reduce the impact, he might have suffered severe injuries or even been turned into pulp right then and there; that time Xiong Tai had only used half his strength.
If he were to unleash his full power, Freyr would need to elevate his Gene Chain to stage three just to withstand such impact. However, Xiong Tai's strength was already terrifying; he wasn’t sure if he could escape unscathed even then. Moreover, the Primordial Thunder Hammer could be controlled through an Alchemical Matrix. As long as Xiong Tai wanted to continuously enhance his strength by inputting a considerable amount of Elemental Power combined with Restraint, the Primordial Thunder Hammer could become a lethal weapon.
It was also uncertain whether this Thunder Hammer could be countered; given Freyr's current abilities, it would be quite challenging. Thus, he ultimately decided against restraining Xiong Tai and advised him to be cautious about protecting his own life. Unbeknownst to them all, Xiong Tai’s strength had grown to such a level that even though he hadn’t activated his Gene Chain, his sensory abilities had developed to an Ultimate level and he had comprehended enhanced abilities—this was clear proof of his growth.
Additionally, he had mastered a terrifying ability known as Exhausted that allowed him to deplete his internal Elemental Power in advance for an instant boost in strength. This ability complemented his Primordial Thunder Hammer well; however, it was still a forbidden technique. If activated continuously up to six layers, even with recovery techniques and top-notch medical skills, it would be impossible to restore him afterward. Moreover, this skill accelerated cellular aging—if cell division did not occur quickly enough, all cells would age and die off rapidly. His age would suddenly reach a terrifying level due to this sixth-layer forbidden technique; however, the first five layers did not possess such lethal backlash power so there was no need for concern at that moment. Still, this came with side effects: for a period afterward, he would have no strength at all.
