145th Army Headquarters.

Gu Can frowned, gripped his baton, and sighed at the sand table, "Adding fuel to the fire tactic is a cardinal sin in military strategy!"

"Hill 455 is too important, this is the only way we can do it!" Qin Jingshan said, his eyes red.

Suddenly, Li Tianyi's voice came from outside the door: "I'm leading the mecha squad!"

"War God Li, even if we go, you can't go!" Qin Jingshan quickly stepped forward, blocking their path. "You are more important than anyone else; you absolutely cannot take the risk!"

Li Tianyi pushed him away and asked, "What is a God of War?"

Qin Jingshan shook his head.

"Only those who can win battles are worthy of being called God of War." Li Tianyi stared at him. "If you don't let me fight, how can I be worthy of being called God of War?"

"I know I can't stop you, go ahead, be careful!" Qin Jingshan was very worried.

"I will!"

Li Tianyi turned around, summoned his space surfboard, and sped towards Hill 455.

As the distance closed, the battle below became exceptionally fierce, with both sides locked in a chaotic melee and people falling one after another.

"Fuck your mother!" Li Tianyi charged toward the gigantic mantis monster.

With a horizontal slash, the mantis was beheaded.

Nearby soldiers recognized him and shouted, "War God Li! War God Li is here!"

The shout startled the others.

"The God of War is here! The God of War is here! Kill!"

Morale instantly soared to its peak, and they chased after the enemy to kill.

Soon, the forward defenses of Hill 455 were completely destroyed.

Li Tianyi rushed ahead of them and shouted, "Stop the pursuit!"

Everyone immediately stopped and began counting the ammunition...

Hill 455, enemy command post.

"General, their attack was too fierce, and the forward positions have been lost!" The crocodile man was covered in blood and knelt on one knee.

Kuang Tiantong helped him up, saying, "You've done your best, go and rest!"

The crocodile-man thought he had misheard, and only after confirming with his companions with his eyes did he believe it. "Thank you for sparing my life, General! Lei Shui, this life belongs to you from now on!"

"Go and rest!" Kuang Tiantong nodded slightly. "Xi Fei, take your men and set up the magic array at the second line of defense."

"Yes, General!" Xi Fei coldly looked at the enemy opposite him, "Make sure they don't leave alive."

The prism's mouth slowly rose upwards...

Hill 455, the temporary command post of the 2nd Brigade.

"War God Li, we've already lost a third of our troops. We simply can't hold this huge defensive line!" Qi Chao said with a bitter smile and a sigh.

Li Tianyi did not answer, but carefully studied the sand table.

"Order: Dafengshan Air Squadron, attack from the three o'clock position!"

"Mech squad, frontal assault!"

"Sanpao and Wang Erzhu, cut off the enemy's reinforcements."

After giving the order, Li Tianyi's expression softened. He grabbed his equipment and said, "Qi Chao, you stay at the command post. We're going to wipe out these damned ancient Shu people!"

"God of War, I want to go with you!" Qi Chao's eyes were firm.

"Flesh and blood can hardly withstand the enemy's laser weapons." Li Tianyi suddenly fired a shot at himself, the bullet bouncing off the barrel. "Any more questions?"

Qi Chao was overjoyed, "No!"

Li Tianyi nodded to him and quickly rushed out of the command post.

Xiaoman's assassin squad and Isabelle's archer squad had been waiting for a long time.

"Brother Tian!"

"Brother Tian!"

"Set off!"

Twenty-three people charged forward.

Soon, they arrived at the second line of defense, and a sense of unease immediately gripped them.

Gesture: Check the surroundings.

Isabelle sniffed carefully and shook her head. "Nothing unusual!"

Li Tianyi, however, did not believe it. He slowly closed his eyes, and the surrounding scenes kept flashing through his mind.

Suddenly, the image freezes in an inconspicuous spot.

"Shoot two arrows!"

Chunyu Sisi immediately drew her bow and nocked an arrow.

*Hiss*

A kobold, pierced by an arrow, clutched the arrow and sneered, "Once you're here, you're not leaving!"

With hands forming a mudra, the scene instantly became illusory.

In less than two seconds, the surrounding area was filled with bones and rotting corpses, and countless vengeful ghosts and spirits roamed around, watching with predatory intent.

"Hold fast to your true self, this is an illusion!" Xiaoman shouted.

The group silently recited Taoist calming mantras, warily watching their surroundings.

The vengeful ghosts that had been roaming nearby suddenly pounced.

When people are in such an environment, their first reaction is to avoid it, and they are no exception.

Li Tianyi, however, did the opposite and slashed at the vengeful ghost with his sword.

The vengeful ghost split in two, yelling, "Waaaaah! You will all die!"

Before he finished speaking, the broken body suddenly merged back together, becoming even taller and more malevolent than before.

"Back to back." Li Tianyi frowned slightly. "The archer squad will defend against the air, and the assassin squad will defend against the ground."

"yes!"

The twenty-three people moved forward slowly...

From a great distance, Xi Fei coldly watched them. "I didn't expect the illusion array to have so little effect on them. But let's see how you deal with the killing array that follows!"

"General, brilliant!" The confidant gave a thumbs up.

"Arrange for your people to be 100% certain before making a move!" Xi Fei sneered.

"clear!"

After all his subordinates left, Xi Fei kept forming hand seals and chanting incantations.

At the same time, the already terrifying scene became even more terrifying, like the eighteenth level of hell.

A few seconds later.

Suddenly, countless pale hands reached out from the ground and gripped everyone's calves tightly.

Some of the female members screamed.

After the male members immediately cut off the arm that was sticking out from the ground, they helped them clean up.

Li Tianyi scanned his surroundings. "Archer squad, activate mech boost, then use Thunder Strike!"

"yes!"

The thirteen people exuded a terrifying aura, and their strength increased by about three times.

"Thunderbolt Force!"

An even greater force emerged, doubling in power once again.

"Nine stars aligned!"

Thirteen men simultaneously drew their bows and fired nine arrows arranged in the shape of the Chinese character "一".

A loud whooshing sound filled the air.

Sizzle...

Countless screams rang out, and the scene became somewhat surreal, revealing one part of its true form.

"Well done!" Li Tianyi felt much relieved. "Thirty-five degrees, upward shot!"

A dense barrage of arrows rained down, the illusory scene vanished, and ahead lay a dozen or so kobolds, riddled with arrows, slowly collapsing.

Xiaoman reacted the fastest, "Stealth!"

The assassin squad disappeared en masse, and when they reappeared, they were inside the enemy's second line of defense.

"Kill them all!"

Even without their enhanced mechs, the assassin squad was ridiculously strong. At this moment, they were like the Grim Reaper, frantically reaping the enemies.

The defenses were thrown into chaos.

Xi Fei sighed and smiled wryly, "I originally wanted to wait for them to tire themselves out, but I didn't expect these Earthlings to be so powerful. Fine! Everyone, listen to my command, annihilate the invaders!"

"kill!"

Countless alien rabid dogs, crocodile men, kobolds, and mantis monsters poured out of the trenches.

"Let these bastards see the true strength of the assassin squad!" Xiaoman shouted, unleashing a burst of sword light that instantly cleared a five-meter radius around them.

The other members followed suit, and the enemy was wiped out in droves...
