Zi Xuan is the Thunder Moon Demon. As the name suggests, he is a demon who can use lightning power, which is quite rare. After all, most demons use blood and dark power. However, the lightning of the Thunder Moon Demon is not the kind of white light and blue shadow that emits righteous energy.
Instead, it was the sinister thunder of a crimson shadow.
Furthermore, they belong to a branch of the Moon Demons, a major force in the Demon Abyss, who also participated in the war against the Northern Region of the Dragon Kingdom.
Looking at the elite five-star Thunder Moon Demons led by Zi Xuan, Cen Zhuoqun nodded. Before his demonization, he was at the peak of the five-star level, so it was reasonable for him to lead such a team.
And don't think that five-star troops are weak. They are the backbone of the human and demon battlefields, for both races.
In this war zone, the main opponents of the demons are the mech pilots and unmanned combat groups. The northern military regions on the southern and western fronts are filled with brutal battles between humans and demons, ranging from nine-star ability users to three-star ability users. The higher the level, the fewer the number of people.
Fortunately, the headquarters building was still occupied by humans, and after successfully entering the building, they quickly found the laboratory in Sector C2.
Everyone thought the mission would end quickly; after being tense for so long, it was a rare moment of relaxation.
Unfortunately, things still turned out badly.
There was no demonic vortex, but Cen Zhuoqun's elite Thunder Moon Demons suddenly launched a pincer attack on the human forces outside the headquarters building!
The breach forced the troops guarding the headquarters to fight and retreat simultaneously.
The burst crystals actually need time to cool down, otherwise they will explode when taken out!
"This thing... let it explode! Why didn't you take it away before, and now you're making us come here?"
Hearing the sounds of battle outside, Liu Shenjun was extremely anxious, pacing back and forth, especially listening to the requests for retreat from his teammates and the captain's strict orders to defend.
All of this is to buy them time.
Eventually, only a few squads of audio remained on the nearby communication channels. They had to evacuate. The headquarters building was overrun by the demon forces, and now... they were the only ones left to rely on.
"Some long-term experiments have either been destroyed or transferred, but this one is indestructible and is about to be completed."
These are explosive crystals installed on the mechs and various automated turrets. Once the finished product is available, we can mass-produce them at the base, thereby enhancing the combat capabilities of the mechs and turrets.
This is how the technicians explained it in the communications, and they weren't idle either. During the time everyone was guarding it, the robots and defense equipment inside the headquarters building were also activated, and they would become the second line of defense to protect the burst crystal.
Previously, due to the transfer experiment, the burst crystal could not be destroyed alone. Don't underestimate this small thing, the energy inside is very violent. If it is taken out before it is cooled down, it will generate heat energy comparable to a nuclear explosion.
Furthermore, because the experiment is about to be completed, the higher-ups of the Future Source have to spend more effort on defense. The reason why this place has not yet fallen is because the mechanical troops of the Future Source are constantly being deployed here.
Bang!
"Zi Xuan, lead the Thunder Moon Demons to attack this half of the region. Without orders, you are free to act. The other demons, follow me."
Upon entering the headquarters building, Cen Zhuoqun received orders from the demon commander. However, after looking at the heavily fortified defenses, he changed his mind and decided to send the Thunder Moon Demons to take the beating, while he would lead a group of demon troops to move from the other side.
What exactly are they trying to do?
Nobody knows.
However, Lei Yuemo's attack was aimed directly at the area where Bu Xiaosa and his group were located.
"K11 Squad, prepare for battle!"
K11 is the designation of the elite mech squad. Bu Xiaosa and Liu Shenjun are their two captains. Everyone looked at the Burst Crystal, which had entered the cooldown phase. They only needed to hold out for another two hours.
Two hours...
Bu Xiaosai's heart sank. Things couldn't be judged solely by the current defenses. In two hours, the entire central area of Aurora City would likely fall. Escaping unscathed would be no easy task, especially since they also needed to take the Exploding Crystal with them.
At that time, they will be surrounded by demons from all directions. Once they encounter a demon of six stars or above, unless they attempt an assassination or sneak attack, they will definitely be at a disadvantage in a head-on confrontation.
However, things were far worse than he had imagined; the demons' elite reinforcements arrived much faster than he had expected.
Just as everyone was crouching down guarding the entrances on the left and right sides, the wall in the middle was suddenly blown up!
At that moment, Zi Xuan and his elite Thunder Moon Demons stormed in.
Unlike the other demons, after seeing that the other demons could not get up the stairs no matter what they tried, they focused on descending from a higher level. However, they then discovered Bu Xiaosai's other plan and immediately changed their strategy, choosing to break through the wall from another parallel passage.
After fighting for so long, Bu Xiaosai had never seen such unconventional tactics from the demons. In other words, even if he was incredibly insightful, he never expected the enemy to take such an unconventional step.
As a result, those who failed to return to defend in time could only watch helplessly as Lei Yuemo suspiciously destroyed two exhaust pipes, and a wave of heat immediately filled the entire passageway of the C2 laboratory.
All the demons and humans had to activate their demonic energy and supernatural powers to forcibly resist the heatwave. After this heatwave, the mechs of the K11 mech pilot squad suffered varying degrees of damage, with some mechs suffering as much as 75% damage and on the verge of disintegration.
