Chapter 531 We vow to defend our homeland to the death and never retreat a single step!

Lin Shigong stood inside a command vehicle, communicating with Chen Jianguo, the city lord of Tianyong City, who had joined him.

Finally, Lin Shigong smiled wryly, climbed onto the roof of the command vehicle, and surveyed the entire scene.

Tianxiong and Tianyong's communication channels were all open, and his voice would be transmitted directly into the earpieces of every soldier.

It's very windy.

His coat fluttered in the wind.

Lin Shigong was silent for two seconds before speaking.

"Brothers!"

"I don't want to make any grand pronouncements or shout any battle cries."

"You all know the details of this battle, and you all know what those things are."

"Those demons have invaded our blue planet, on which we depend for survival."

"This is a war concerning the life and death of humanity!"

"It's also an interstellar defense war!!"

He raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the World Tree behind him.

"Under the tree lies Tianxiong and Tianyong's underground city, your home."

"Your parents, your wives and children, your comrades' families, hundreds of millions of people, are right here."

"And those monsters are spreading in this direction!"

Lin Shigong's voice grew slightly louder as he exhaled a puff of white breath.

"Our home is beneath our feet, and our family is behind us."

"Can we back out?!"

After a moment of silence in the square, everyone simultaneously pulled back their gun bolts.

The continuous "whoosh" sounds all expressed their attitude.

Then they all shouted together.

"We swear to defend our homeland to the death, and will never retreat a single step!!!"

"Fight to the death!"

"Fight to the death!!"

"Fight to the death!!!"

Lin Shigong nodded and waved vigorously.

"Set off!"

Watching the soldiers marching away into the distance, his eyes were filled with bitterness.

He knew exactly what this army had brought.

If it weren't for orders from above, he would rather be the commander and go to the front lines with these soldiers to fight the enemy!

Instead of suffering and feeling guilty in the rear.

……

The assembled army began its advance toward the Freedom.

The armored column thundered forward across the ice field.

The robot took large strides and easily kept up with the speed of the convoy.

The pack of mechanical dogs spread out on both flanks, automatically switching into a search formation.

The drone formation ascended to a height of 100 meters, with the reconnaissance drones at the forefront and the attack drones at the rear.

The shadow of the World Tree was left behind by the convoy, growing longer and longer.

The army marched south.

At the current marching speed, it would take about two and a half hours to cover 100 kilometers of ice field.

But they don't need to wait until they arrive at the battlefield to start fighting.

Because the Rocket Force never needs to go to the front lines.

Their mission was to surround and clear out the demons that had spread throughout the area.

The surface position beneath the World Tree.

Fifty box-type rocket launcher vehicles were lined up in a row, with their muzzles facing south and the elevation angle already adjusted.

"Firepower data completed!"

"Wind speed correction complete!"

"First wave, all vehicles firing simultaneously, ready—"

The position commander's arm slashed down suddenly.

"put!"

"Swish, swish, swish—!!"

All rocket launchers in both underground cities opened fire simultaneously.

Each vehicle has an eight-tube launcher, so a single salvo can launch eight missiles.

Four hundred rockets were launched within three seconds!

The brightness of the tail flame was so intense that it was impossible to open one's eyes.

The heatwave instantly evaporated the frost on the surrounding ice surface.

Four hundred white trails rose from the ground, tracing elegant arcs as they disappeared into the hazy gray horizon.

From a distance, it looks like someone has set off a meteor shower on the ice field.

However, this meteor shower was the opposite, flying from the ground into the sky.

"First wave of launches complete, trajectory normal!"

"Load the second wave!"

The crew members moved swiftly, the empty launch box was ejected by the hydraulic arm, and the new ammunition box was hoisted into place from the ammunition vehicle.

Forty seconds later.

"Second wave, prepare—"

"put!"

Another four hundred meteors shot into the sky.

One hundred kilometers away, in the direction of the horizon, above the ruins of the Freedom.

The first wave of rockets is entering its terminal dive.

The infrared seekers of four hundred warheads were activated simultaneously to lock onto ground heat sources.

Then it plunged down at a speed of nine hundred meters per second.

On the distant horizon, muffled explosions formed a line.

Like distant rumbling thunder, it stretches on and on.

The orange-red flames flickered against the gray horizon, turning half the sky a dark red.

In the moving armored column, the infantrymen could see the bullet impacts in the distance through the vehicle-mounted screens.

The real-time images transmitted back by the drone showed that the ice around the Freedom was blown upside down.

Those low-level demons who had just crawled out of the underground fissures were blown away in droves by the rockets.

An old soldier muttered something under his breath:

"Those bastards in the Rocket Force, I'm so envious..."

His comrade next to him curled his lip in disdain.

"ADCs are all squishy; the real game-changers are us frontliners."

"You little brat, you've been playing too many video games!"

The armored vehicle rolled over the ice and continued forward.

Behind them, a third wave of rockets was launched.

Meteor showers came one after another, covering every inch of scorched earth a hundred kilometers away.

The vanguard of the Great Xia army is steadily advancing towards the ruins of the Freedom, crushing the steel carpet laid out by the Rocket Force.

Waiting ahead of them was a massive demon army that had been bombarded time and again, yet continued to rise from the ground in endless streams.

And the eight seventh-tier demon lords who intercepted the missiles high in the sky on the Freedom.

......

Tian Shu Underground City, Central Command Hall.

On the circular screen wall, more than a dozen split screens were flashing wildly.

Satellite aerial photography, drone data transmission, battlefield imaging, data monitoring...

A massive stream of data cascaded down like a waterfall, while the sound of dozens of technical officers typing on their keyboards was as dense as rain.

Han Niba stood in front of the command center, staring at the large screen.

In the footage, the ground above the Freedom was already blown into a pot of boiling rotten meat.

Cracks upon cracks, fires upon fires.

The Rocket Force's barrage of fire continued, with a new wave of destructive fire erupting on the ground every few tens of seconds.

But Han Niba was looking at the sky.

In the airspace between three and five thousand meters, several afterimages were frantically darting about.

The speed was so fast that even at the maximum frame rate, only a few blurry afterimages could be seen moving at high speed.

The speed was so fast that the screen could only capture a trailing afterimage.

Every time a missile streaks into that airspace, a blur of motion bursts up to meet it.

Then--

"boom!"

The missile exploded into a fireball in mid-air.

It wasn't detonated; it was smashed apart by the flesh, causing the fuel to explode.

"The interception rate of the seventh-tier demon lord is currently 62%." The strategist looked at the data and swallowed hard.

"Conventional missiles cannot break through, hypersonic missiles have a decreasing penetration rate, and most nuclear warheads are detonated prematurely by long-range attacks."

Currently, only small box rocket launchers are still bombarding the ground on the screen.

Han Niba snorted coldly.

"They've learned their lesson."

Having killed one Tier 7 beast in the previous explosion, the remaining seven have clearly learned their lesson.

Instead of directly intercepting the fastest warheads, the priority is to intercept conventional missiles.

For hypersonic missiles, choose to change direction in advance to evade or intercept them with long-range attacks.

Like a group of experienced interceptors.

Han Niba was silent for a few seconds before speaking:

"How many space-based laser platforms are still within range?"

"The three 'Tiangang' series satellites are in an effective launch window."

"Lock on those seven heads and mow them down!"

The staff officer paused for a moment:

"Lord, the laser's damage to a seventh-tier enemy..."
