They won the Holy Grail War, but this turned out to be the Virtual Tree Universe.

Chapter 392 No matter which world it is, the Interstellar Peace Corporation is not very reasonable.
Tianhe City, once a bustling metropolis, has now been reduced to a brutal meat grinder.

In the original novel, the Taotie invaded Tianhe City and, relying on their technological advantage of being able to use antimatter weapons in the early stages, easily occupied the city.

The Huaxia Legion was firmly blocked in the surrounding towns and villages outside the city. Even infiltration troops could not get in. They could only use missiles and lives to lock the Taotie in Tianhe City, at least preventing them from using the mobility of warships to fight guerrilla warfare.

But this time was different. As soon as the two regiments carrying imaginary weapons arrived at the scene, the battle line was immediately pushed back.

As long as the weapons in hand can break through the defenses, the advantage of having more people becomes immediately apparent.

While Earth's own weapons cannot penetrate the Taotie soldiers' armor, it is not difficult to inflict a stun.

If you can't hit a stationary target, it proves that the military didn't select the members of these two future weapons regiments properly.

Therefore, as soon as the Taotie soldiers are exposed to fire and are stunned by ordinary weapons, a beam of imaginary energy will pierce through their bodies in the next instant.

Fortunately, the Taotie warship is highly automated, and this time it was fully loaded with soldiers for conquering cities.

Therefore, even after losing a wave of men, they were still able to form a high-altitude defense line with the Great Cross as its core, in conjunction with gunboats.

With the support of gunboats and motherships, it became difficult for military forces to get close.

It's important to know that the military didn't ask Danlei to buy warships.

Based on the assessment above, this is a defensive war, focusing only on defending the domestic territory. The current vehicle mobility is sufficient, so the key is to give soldiers more weapons to fight back.

However, the military underestimated the disparity in the vehicles between the two sides.

Although the Taotie's escort gunboats do not have the energy field that the mothership can spread out, they are extremely flexible. Missiles can be intercepted, and cannonballs cannot hit them at all.

As for the Grand Cross, its force field is such that even if it were bombed with a nuclear bomb, the yield would have to be the largest possible.

Lena's miniature solar flare bombardment is as powerful per unit area as a tactical nuclear bomb. It cannot penetrate the force field of the Grand Cross, nor can it be penetrated by ordinary nuclear bombs.

The imaginary weapons Dan Lei provided were mostly rifles, and the heavy weapons were very old versions of the imaginary energy cannons.

If you're going to attack a gunboat's armor, that's one thing, but attacking the shield of a large cross is really wishful thinking.

However, the military would not detonate a nuclear bomb over its own city unless absolutely necessary, let alone a high-powered one.

So, it's time for the Super Soldier Corps to take the stage in the battle.

However, this time when entering Tianhe City, the Super Soldier Company will no longer need to rely on the fragile helicopters to force their way through the dense smoke.

At this point, the outer perimeter of Tianhe City had been recaptured, and the interior was no longer completely unobservable.

Therefore, this time, the Super Soldier Corps will not go through the air, but will instead use the underground subway line of Tianhe City to get close to the city center and then launch a multi-pronged attack.

Meanwhile, as agreed upon beforehand with Dan Lei, the cargo ship of Interstellar Peace Company began to fall from space.

To be honest, Qi Lin's team's landing was quite arrogant.

A cargo ship with only cargo-carrying capabilities and no armed forces simply and without any concealment descended straight down from space above the battlefield.

All I can say is that the Star Peace Company's brand represents Dan Lei.

When Snow relayed the message to Karl, he repeatedly warned Shihou, the commander of Taotie, that he must never provoke Danlei and his forces.

Otherwise, the Styx River wouldn't have risked offending a powerful god by standing up for Taotie.

At this time, the Devourer had not yet obtained the Void Engine and had not used the algorithm given by Karl to kill thousands of low-level angels who were previously unattainable.

Therefore, before it became arrogant, it naturally strictly disciplined its subordinates, forbidding them from firing on Dan Lei's forces unless attacked.

However, the Taotie in Tianhe City was unaware that mercenaries belonging to the Interstellar Peace Company had already opened fire on the Taotie in the other three cities.

Therefore, the Taotie commander of Tianhe City, seeing the transport ship land, immediately gave the order.

"Tell everyone to ignore the Interstellar Peace Corporation ships falling from the sky and prioritize eliminating local resistance forces."

Also, calculate the spaceship's landing point.

The main guns are activated to clear a three-kilometer radius around the landing site, preventing Earth's rats from joining them.

The Interstellar Peace Corporation landing their spaceship at this time was definitely not just to watch a show.

If they initiate an attack, the main guns will immediately retaliate.

It must be said that this Taotie commander is quite capable; he judged that something must have happened to cause the Interstellar Peace Corporation's spaceship to fall down like this.

Clearing the area within three kilometers of the landing site served both to prevent the Chinese army from approaching and as a warning.

The landing point of the transport ship that Qi Lin was on was easy to calculate because it was falling straight down.

As the main cannon of the Grand Cross was activated, a beam of orange-red, high-heat light, as thick as a person and driven by dark matter energy, shot directly onto the ground.

The next second, a huge mushroom cloud rose from the ground. When the Taotie commander said to clear the surrounding three kilometers, he meant that no one or animal survived within those three kilometers.

The absolute lethal range of this cannon is more than three kilometers; the high heat radiation and shock wave have an impact that extends far beyond three kilometers.

Even the military command headquarters a hundred kilometers away felt the huge tremor.

This shot can be understood as detonating a miniature antimatter bomb directly at the landing point of the transport ship, but without radiation, and the energy was more concentrated during the explosion.

Fortunately, Qi Lin and the others remained relatively calm. While the Great Cross was charging up, the spaceship's intelligent AI immediately notified them.

"The antimatter cannon of the Crusader has been detected charging up on the battlefield."

Upon hearing this, Qi Lin immediately pressed for details.
"Were they attacking us?"

The intelligent AI calculates the firing axis, indicating that the firing position is located on the ground directly below us.

Qi Lin: "Is it possible to adjust the angle and shoot at us directly? Simulate the situation of being hit."

The possibility of intelligent AI is less than 5%. According to existing data, the design of the Crusader antimatter cannon cannot adjust the angle over a wide range during firing.

The simulated attack scenario shows that the spaceship's imaginary force field can withstand this attack.

However, the resulting impact could cause the spacecraft to lose its attitude, necessitating impact protection measures.

Upon hearing that the shield could block it, Qi Lin breathed a slight sigh of relief.

This week, inside the simulator, Qi Lin has lost count of how many unknown area-of-effect attacks from superweapons she has died from.

Once, during a simulated war against interstellar insects, our side used orbital bombardment as a basic attack, rolling around in various high-heat air waves and feeling the grease sizzling on our bodies from the physical heat. Qi Lin didn't want to experience that again.

This super soldier may be physically strong, but dying is still quite a ordeal, greatly increasing the pain before death.

Fortunately, the other members of the team are the same in this respect.

The people in charge of their daily training are Koyanskaya and Xiao Huanlong.

Both of them are the kind of guys who like to mess with people and see how they react.

Qi Lin's team has become so used to dying in simulation battles that they've become desensitized to antimatter weapons.

Upon hearing that the spaceship's shields could withstand the attack, no one became nervous.

A Chinese American from North America even joked that...
"So, Taotie's cannon was specially designed to level the ground for us in case we couldn't find a landing spot after landing?"

They didn't think the impact of the ground explosion would be enough to knock the spaceship away, did they?

This person spoke quite casually because genuine Chinese people were very rare in the Interstellar Peace Company's ranks; they were mostly of Chinese descent from various countries. This was because soldiers in China rarely went abroad to become mercenaries after their military service.

They could still joke around because it wasn't their own city that was attacked.

At this moment, Qi Lin was clearly not in the mood for joking, but she couldn't afford to get angry.

Su Xiaoli, who didn't have a deep affection for this land, was still in the mood to respond.

"What's so good about it? The flat ground proves that we've lost our cover. The spaceship's shields can be used as antimatter weapons. Even if our armor blocks it, you'll be turned into mincemeat by the shockwave."

Moreover, the ground was covered in dust, and people would turn black after taking just a few steps.

"Sister Qilin, how about we land somewhere else?"

Qi Lin rejected Su Xiaoli's suggestion, saying...
"No, the Taotie are clearly warning us that they don't dare to fire directly at us, and can only launch deterrent attacks on the surrounding buildings."

No matter where we land, the surrounding area will become a wasteland.

Therefore, we landed on the spot as planned.

When the army comes to collect our goods, the Taotie will definitely attack.

When the time comes, if we suddenly launch our spaceship into the air and get hit by a cannon, we'll have a reason to retaliate.

Subsequently, we used the spaceship's shields as cover, turning their own tactics against them.

Qi Lin's order was a typical case of bluffing, but the team members liked it.

Anyone who isn't an idiot would understand what Danlei meant before he left.

Dan Lei wanted his team to find an excuse to take down Tianhe City's Grand Cross.

The reason given was that no one cared; fighting aliens didn't put any psychological pressure on them.

Koyanskaya trains the people of the Interstellar Peace Corporation as weapons of war, and many of them have become accustomed to talking only about physics and not reason.

Therefore, Qi Lin's team landed directly on the ground under the intense heat that could cook a person alive.

The exoskeleton of the Armed Archaeology School of the Erudite Society is designed to adapt to the harsh environments of different planets in the universe. It is resistant to high temperatures and low temperatures, and a temperature of only a few hundred degrees Celsius does not affect human activity at all.

The imaginary weapon prepared by Dan Lei will not be damaged or explode due to this temperature.

In short, Qilin's team brazenly unloaded a large amount of weapons and ammunition from the transport ship right in front of Taotie.

They also released dozens of giant cannon chariots from the Devouring Sac, almost filling the crater blasted out by the Great Cross main cannon.

Taotie's face turned green as he looked at the weapons. This Interstellar Peace Company really was just delivering goods to the other side.

However, in order to have a legitimate reason for her actions, Qi Lin deliberately broadcasted imaginary energy to provoke him.

"Notification to the battlefield! Interstellar Peace Corporation is unloading cargo at [coordinates] location."

The area within one kilometer of the unloading point is now designated a no-combat zone. Both sides are prohibited from fighting within this area; violators will face the consequences.

After saying that, Qi Lin immediately wanted to use the "sniper cannon" of the Star Iron Universe to snipe a Taotie gunship to demonstrate her power.

However, the imaginary energy bullet suddenly veered in mid-air and struck the top of the Angel International building, blowing off the top two floors.

This is where Dan Lei's battlefield order took effect, directly distorting Qi Lin's attacks.

Qi Lin looked at her gun, her brows furrowing slightly, because her armor had already issued a warning, warning her not to violate the rules set by Dan Lei.

Qi Lin knew that most of her current power came from Dan Lei, who could disarm her at any time.

So he could only reluctantly put away his gun and stop attacking.

Fortunately, others saw this shot as just showing off; they didn't believe their captain could miss such a large target, especially since the bullet made a 90-degree turn in mid-air.

Moreover, the gun terrified the Taotie, and its commander, sweating profusely, said...
"The energy bullet can be so flexible and powerful when fired at high speed. What kind of black technology is this?"

Moreover, the threat of directly attacking the Angel International building suggests that they don't even respect Angels.

Goodness, these soldiers are incredibly audacious. We can't afford to mess with them.

Inform the men below to plow out an unprotected area three kilometers around the crater.

Just because I can't afford to mess with the Interstellar Peace Corporation doesn't mean I'll let the Earth Legion get its support weapons.

The Taotie commander's orders were exactly what Qi Lin planned.

It probably never imagined that the Interstellar Peace Company would be so shameless in its attempts to extort money.

The spaceship, which had been parked perfectly on the ground, suddenly shot up from the ground and flew several thousand meters into the air with its shields activated.

The cannonballs fired by the Taotie don't curve, and thanks to the spaceship's intelligent AI calculations, the pilot perfectly managed to catch most of the warship's firepower.

Of course, the imaginary energy field equipped on this spaceship is quite powerful, and the Taotie's cannonballs are just scratching the surface.

Seeing this, Qi Lin didn't say a word, and immediately spoke into the team communicator.

"The transport ship was attacked on its return journey! The transport ship was attacked on its return journey!"

"Everyone prepare for battle! The Taotie is attacking us!!"

After saying that, Qi Lin took out the Star Iron Universe sniper cannon again and fired a shot at a gunboat outside the Great Cross Shield.

This time, with a valid reason, the energy bullet did not detour and accurately struck the cockpit at the bow of the gunboat.

The armor of the Taotie gunboat was no match for the sniper cannons. The entire ship exploded in mid-air, as if there were explosives buried under the cockpit.

The gunboat was destroyed, and the commander of the Taotie wanted to shout that it was all a misunderstanding.

But when Su Xiaoli winked at them a few times, the soldiers below were instantly enraged and opened fire on the Interstellar Peace Company's squad.

However, their laser weapons, just like the firearms in the hands of Earth's army, were completely unable to penetrate the armor of Qi Lin's team members.

Seeing that her charm had succeeded, Su Xiaoli's hip armor unfolded, and nine imaginary energy bands surged out, forming nine energy tails like fox tails.

Nine tails and Su Xiaoli's hands both emitted pale blue imaginary energy flames, which were then showered upon the Taotie's airship force.

These flames can automatically lock onto the enemy's mental body for attacks; while they are guaranteed to hit, they also have a degree of randomness.

However, due to the restrictions of Danlei's rules, all the foxfire hit the Taotie soldiers who fired at Qilin's team.

Those masters of human figure drawing actually escaped with their lives because of their poor marksmanship.

Danlei, in the universe, has been observing the battlefield of Tianhe City.

However, by this time, we had observed enough.

Dan Lei was certain that the rules he imposed on Qi Lin and others were absolute.

Even with their abilities, they cannot circumvent the restrictions of the rules of order, even if they use random attack techniques.

There's no need to watch what happens next. If Qi Lin's team messes up in Tianhe City, it proves that Gao Yanskaya's training is inadequate, and I'll have to play some little games with her, like whips and candles, to teach her a lesson.

Therefore, Dan Lei stopped paying attention to the battle in Tianhe City and prepared to go see what gift Xuan Tianji had brought him.
