“Fire wall is up!”
“Red Hair victory! Red Hair victory! Golden Knight has been killed!”
“The floating sphere has transmitted images; the boss has blocked the other three eighth-level life forms.”
“Unit density has reached the standard; there are still seven hundred sixty meters to go!”
“All weapons are ready!”
“Air battle has erupted! Air battle has erupted!”
In the temporary command center, information kept coming in. Guangyao remained calm and collected as he commanded, but sweat continuously dripped from his forehead.
As the decisive battle was about to begin, he felt the heavy pressure on his shoulders. Ye Zhongming and the others trusted him and handed over complete command authority to him. This was not a joke; any mistake could mean death!
Right now, everything was proceeding smoothly as planned, but this was expected since the high-end combat power of Cloud Summit was united; below the ninth level, they were invincible.
At this moment, the test of command capability arrived. If there was any mistake here that caused the mutated life army in Xingzhou City to lose control, then the boss and Yangos, who were in battle, would be in danger.
If anything were to go wrong, it would be irretrievable!
The more Guangyao understood this, the greater the pressure became. Therefore, although each decision was made quickly and decisively, he would still repeatedly reflect, analyze, and check afterward, trying his best to avoid errors.
On the battlefield, following the commands from the command center, the air defense unit led by Xia Bai’s red dress guard was the first to enter attack mode.
The flying life forms from Xingzhou City would not be hindered by flames; they flew in from all directions, seeking to prey on the Cloud Summit warriors engaged in battle.
These flying life forms felt strange because the humans seemed completely unaware of their arrival, not even glancing at the sky. They were withdrawing in an orderly manner and, while retreating, managed to inflict considerable damage on the pursuing ground mutated life forms.
However, they did not pay too much attention to it. Although the number of flying life forms was far less than that on the ground, their ability to fly gave them a natural advantage. Now that their similar ground counterparts were preoccupying the humans, what could they do even if there was a way to deal with them?
Thus, these flying life forms boldly charged forward.
The delicacies below would soon be theirs to enjoy.
But who knew that at the moment they launched their attack, the weapons targeting them also began to fire back.
Two thousand flaming grenades exploded in the air, sending the nearest flying life forms soaring far away from the heads of the Cloud Summit warriors, with large chunks of flesh raining down.
The power of the Grenade Launcher was somewhat lacking against high-level life forms, but it was very effective in group battles. If the target's defenses were weak, it could cause widespread destruction.
The evolution speed of mutated life forms was generally fast, but just like humans, there were high and low levels. Many low-level flying life forms were killed or injured by this barrage of rockets, unable to maintain flight and plummeting down.
This salvo of rockets from Cloud Summit was very well-planned; the distance between each explosion point was very uniform, maximizing the area of effect and shrouding large sections of the sky in smoke.
Next, the Ball Blade Launcher fired.
This air defense weapon, which made its first large-scale appearance on the battlefield, brought a shocking effect as soon as it was deployed.
All the initial shots from the Ball Blade Launcher were wind balls.
These giant wind attribute spheres soared into the sky, not particularly fast, but the explosion of the rockets had already created chaos among the flying life forms, with smoke obscuring their vision. Most of the wind balls nearly perfectly reached the optimal range before exploding.
