I started with a portal, then turned around and handed it over to the nation.

The morning of the tenth day.

Gu Yuan put down the high-powered binoculars in his hand and turned to look at the tactical map platform behind him.

"Team Dragon, still no word."

Gu Yuan pointed to the desolate mountain range on the screen:

"Starting yesterday afternoon, all the wyverns patrolling the perimeter retreated. Thermal imaging shows that they are all hiding in the caves within the core area of ​​the dragon's nest."

On the screen, the red dots representing hostile targets are crowded together, forming a large dark red patch.

"These beasts are terrified of being beaten."

Lin Mo sat in a folding chair, tapping his fingers on the edge of the tactical tablet: "They know that showing their faces means certain death, so they're planning to waste time with us."

"What?" Long Fei threw the red and blue pencils in his hand onto the table.

"I brought enough ammunition to flatten this mountain three times over. What are they going to do to wear it down?"

Long Fei grabbed the communicator and tuned it to the artillery battalion's channel.

"Hello, this is Long Fei. Continue with the bunker buster."

The artillery battalion commander's voice came through the communicator: "Captain Long, are you really going to demolish our base?"

"It's good that it collapsed."

Long Fei stared at the red spot on the screen: "Execute the 'heart-piercing' tactic. All twelve cannons, fire simultaneously. Drill them down to their deaths."

"Yes, sir! Load the bunker buster bombs!"

Several kilometers away, the creaking of machinery could be heard from the artillery positions.

Twelve PHL-03 long-range rocket launchers adjusted their firing parameters, raising their massive launch boxes and pointing them toward the distant black mountain peak.

"put!"

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The earth trembled violently.

Twelve specially made rockets, trailing orange-red flames, pierced the gray sky of the North.

A few seconds later.

The majestic main peak of the Dragon's Nest in the distance trembled.

A dull rumbling sound came from underground.

Crack! A huge crack appeared on the mountainside of the main peak, followed by countless boulders tumbling down and dust billowing up.

"roar--"

A deafening roar erupted, so loud that even the water cups in the command vehicle vibrated.

"They're out!"

The radar operator stood up, staring at the screen: "A violent eruption of the thermal response! A large number of them!"

The red spot on the screen exploded, turning into countless moving red dots.

A corner of a distant mountain peak collapsed, and a dark mass of flying dragons surged out from various cave entrances.

They flapped their wings and soared into the sky, trying to escape their collapsing home.

The scene was extremely chaotic.

"Air Force formation, get back to work."

Long Fei's voice was very calm.

Above the clouds, 10,000 meters in the air.

Zhang Xiao pushed open his mask and glanced at the dense cluster of lights on the radar screen.

"This is too dense; there's no need to aim."

Zhang Xiao pressed the communication button: "Viper squadron, take note, target has left the nest. Maintain beyond visual range and engage freely."

"receive."

Eighteen J-20 fighter jets spread out in the air and took up the best attack positions.

"Fox Three, fire."

The fuselage bomb bay opened, and the PL-15 medium-range air-to-air missile was ignited.

shhhhh--

Dozens of missiles, trailing white smoke, swooped down from the sky and plunged into the chaotic black cloud.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Fireballs exploded in the sky.

The dragons that had just rushed out of their nests were blown apart in mid-air before they could even see where their enemies were.

Severed limbs mixed with scalding dragon blood fell to the ground.

The frightened flock of dragons was thrown into complete chaos.

Their instinct was to escape this deadly airspace, so they turned around and fled north.

"Trying to run away?"

Inside the ground command vehicle, Long Fei watched the moving red tide on the radar.

"Air defense battalion, intercept."

"Hongqi-9B, all missiles launched."

Behind the Afalia defense line, radars on air defense positions rotate.

The huge launch tube stands vertically.

Pass! Pass! Pass!

Anti-aircraft missiles soared into the sky, creating a fire net in the north.

The dragon horde that crashed into the fire net suffered a devastating blow.

The explosions rang out in unison, turning the sky red.

Lin Mo looked down at the tactical tablet in his hand.

The kill count above is fluctuating.

4850...4920...5010...

"That speed..."

Lin Mo took a deep breath and gripped the edge of the tablet tightly: "S-level rating, that's it."

The front lines of the battlefield.

The gravel beach was littered with corpses.

A large number of severely wounded but not dead dragons fell from the sky and crashed to the ground with a loud bang.

Some had their wings broken and struggled on the ground; others had half their bodies blown apart but were still spewing dragon breath.

"Finisher squad! Charge! Don't let them get to us!"

Raymond brandished his saber, his voice already hoarse from shouting.

"Third Regiment, hold the left flank! Fourth Regiment, move to the right! Don't panic!"

Thousands of northern cavalry, wielding lances and battle axes, charged toward the dying behemoths.

"roar!"

A dragon with broken wings opened its massive jaws, ready to breathe fire at the charging cavalry.

Nourishes—

A bolt of purple lightning shot out from the side.

Chenchen's figure left a trail of afterimages in the air as its claws sliced ​​open the dragon's throat.

The dragon's flames were trapped in its throat, and it let out a whimper before collapsing to the ground.

"Meow!"

Chenchen landed, shook the blood off its paws, and turned to pounce on the next head.

the other side.

Yao Yao was even more direct.

Yao Yao used her petite size to leap across the dragon's massive body, specifically targeting its eyes and joints.

Wherever Yao Yao goes, Fei Long will let out a scream and then lose its fighting ability.

"These two cats..."

Raymond wiped the blood from his face and looked at the two purple figures weaving through the pile of corpses.

"Quick! Follow those two cats! We'll collect the bodies after they're done!"

"Reserves! Push forward!" Raymond turned around and gave the order to the soldiers waiting behind him.

"We can't let them cross the defensive line!"

Lin Mo stared at the numbers flashing on the tactical tablet, his voice hoarse.

Gu Yuan stood beside the car, put down the binoculars that had been held up until they ached, and rubbed his bloodshot eyes.

"These guys have finally stopped running away."

Several kilometers away, above the dragon's nest.

The fleeing dragons suddenly changed course.

They began to circle around the main peak, which had collapsed halfway.

Hundreds of dragons connected head to tail, forming a huge black ring.

The mournful cries converged and echoed across the desolate wasteland.

Lin Mo said, "Something's not right."

He swiped the screen to bring up a close-up view of the drone.

The dragons in the video showed no aggression, ignoring the anti-aircraft positions firing in the distance, and simply circled around, lowering their altitude further and further.

Long Fei grabbed his thermos and took a swig of strong tea, staring at the unusually dense cluster of red dots on the radar screen.

"Notify the Air Force to prepare to close in. Since they're grouped together, let's not waste ammunition; let's launch a major offensive."

"clear."

The radar operator's fingers flew across the keyboard.

Suddenly, a piercing alarm sounded inside the makeshift hospital.

Long Fei suddenly looked up and asked what was going on.

Strong electromagnetic interference waves erupted from the location representing the core area of ​​the Dragon's Nest on the radar screen.

The clear red dot instantly turned into a snowflake.

The operator shouted, "Signal lost! All drones in area D4 have lost contact! Something released a high-intensity electromagnetic pulse just now!"

The tactical tablet in Lin Mo's hand suddenly went black.

A buzzing sound of electricity came from the speaker.
