Chapter 23 The Army's Combat Methods
In a relatively intact high-rise building with more than thirty floors, Qin Ming and his group quickly swept towards the rooftop using their mental power.
After killing dozens of beast-soldier level monsters, they quickly ascended to the rooftop.
"roar--"
A deep, menacing roar came from afar, making Qin Ming feel a sense of oppression.
"It's the sound of a tiger-like monster!"
Zhang Yan's ears pricked up and his face looked solemn.
Tigers?
Is this the big guy the captain was talking about?
Qin Ming was also surprised. Tiger-type monsters were rare before the Great Nirvana period, and they were incredibly powerful.
The tiger has always been known as the king of beasts.
Having undergone a great rebirth and transformation, the tiger-like monsters are far more ferocious and savage than before. Their strength is also immense.
Even in this day and age, they remain at the top of the food chain.
It is considered a king among monsters of the same rank.
Whoosh!
Qin Ming rushed to the edge of the rooftop and looked down following the sound of the tiger's roar.
About two kilometers away, in the ruins of a street, there was a massive herd of beasts. In the center of the tens of thousands of monsters stood a giant tiger, about 5 meters tall at the shoulder and more than 10 meters long.
This giant tiger's fur was entirely fiery red, and as it walked, it seemed as if flames were burning fiercely, and wherever it passed, all beasts would flee in terror.
"This is the Blazing Tiger King, an extremely powerful tiger-type monster, with strength very close to that of a Lord-level monster! I fought it once during reconnaissance."
"That beast relies on his beastly soldiers; I can't kill him."
Team leader Lu Haochuan took out a high-powered telescope and observed carefully.
Blazing Tiger King?
Qin Ming recalled the monster information in his mind. Yes, this is the Blazing Tiger King!
The Blazing Tiger King is a top-tier existence among tiger-type monsters, a born monster king.
The weakest adult Blazing Tiger Kings are all at the level of advanced Beast Generals, while the strongest among them even surpass the level of War Gods.
They are enormous, incredibly strong, and extremely fast, like a blazing flame, hence the name Blazing Tiger King.
Monsters of the same level, such as Bloodthirsty Tanks and Lion Dogs, are no match for it.
"How are we supposed to fight this? There are tens of thousands of monsters. That monster is the number one ranked boar monster, the Fire Scale Trident Boar, right? Judging from its size, it should also have the strength of a high-level beast general."
And over there, that shadow cat is incredibly fast; I'd guess it's at least a high-level beast general.
Qin Ming also took out a high-powered telescope and began searching through the monster horde. Even with more than ten thousand people, the crowd was still huge, but with more than ten thousand monsters, the sheer number was overwhelming.
Even so, Qin Ming's gaze quickly locked onto one of them, a Firescale Trident Boar, with fiery red scales all over its body, three tall, curved horns pointing forward on its head, and a size comparable to a truck, only one size smaller than the Blazing Tiger King.
On the other side of the ruins, a large group of shadow cats were discovered moving at incredible speed. These shadow cats were not very big, only about half a meter long, but their speed was astonishing.
Although the leader was only a little over a meter tall, its speed was far inferior to that of the Blazing Tiger King.
As for the intermediate-level beast generals, there are more than ten, and nearly a hundred primary-level beast generals.
If they really charged in, their squad would probably be wiped out.
"How are we going to fight? You're still not familiar with military tactics. The entire city of 003 is within our firepower range!"
Lu Haochuan smiled and shook his head, guessing what Qin Ming was thinking.
"Xiao Heng, prepare to guide the artillery fire!"
"Understood!" Xiao Heng chuckled, took out a device from his backpack, and pointed it at the beast horde two kilometers away. Red dots representing the monsters' life signals quickly appeared on the device.
The dense array of life signals formed a continuous line, but the most powerful monsters among them, such as the Crimson Flame Tiger King and the Fire Scale Trident Boar, were still clearly marked.
After fiddling with it for a while, Xiao Heng dialed the communication line at the rear base.
"Data transmitted, coordinates synchronizing, requesting artillery fire." Xiao Heng's Adam's apple bobbed beneath his mask. "Repeat, coordinates xxxx, xxxx."
"Received! Attack coordinates xxxx, xxxx." The female voice from the command center was crackling with static.
Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
Just over ten seconds later, a low rumble came from afar, like the earth trembling or the sky weeping.
Immediately afterwards, streaks of fire ripped through the sky, heading straight for the horde of monsters.
Large-caliber artillery shells fell like meteorites, turning the entire sky crimson, as countless heavy artillery shells crashed into the horde of beasts with sharp whistles.
In the fireball of the 152mm grenade, the armored bulls were blown away like pieces of paper, and burning fragments of their scales embedded themselves in the concrete wall more than ten meters away.
"Boom boom boom!"
The characteristic dull bang of a thermobaric bomb followed one after another.
In the suffocating feeling of the air being sucked out, Qin Ming saw the Shadow Cat's fur spontaneously combust into a fireball, and the body of the One-Horned Boar explode under the high temperature.
The most powerful monsters, such as the Blazing Tiger King and the Fire Scale Trident Boar, were targeted by several heavy missiles, with terrifying shockwaves sweeping across a range of hundreds of meters.
Even a behemoth like the Firescale Trident Boar, which is incredibly large and weighs tens of tons, was thrown into the air. Heavy missile fragments tore through its scales, leaving it covered in blood.
The massive herd of tens of thousands of monsters was almost instantly shattered, completely engulfed in flames.
Even from a distance of two kilometers, Qin Ming could feel the terrifying power of the ten thousand cannons firing simultaneously.
After just one round of shelling, almost half of the beast horde was wiped out!
But this was just the beginning; the second round, the third round...
"Damn! That's ruthless!"
Qin Ming felt a chill run down his spine; if he were caught in such a barrage of fire, he would almost certainly die.
When the smoke from the third wave of shelling cleared, the already ravaged streets had been completely reduced to scorched earth.
The original horde of tens of thousands of beasts was reduced to mangled remains, with only a very small number of beast soldiers and beast generals still alive, and all of them were wounded.
Even the Blazing Tiger King had blood dripping from its forehead, and one of its hind legs was bent abnormally, clearly indicating that it was seriously injured.
The Fire-Scaled Trident Pig staggered to its feet from the sea of fire. As for the higher-level beast general Shadow Cat with weaker defense, it had already disappeared.
"It's our turn! Don't be careless. The Blazing Tiger King still has most of its fighting strength, and there are more than 50 Beast General-level monsters left."
This is going to be a tough battle!
Lu Haochuan let out a low roar, and the entire team leaped down from the high-rise building in battle formation. After several quick leaps, Qin Ming unleashed his mental power the instant they landed, lifting them all up and making them land lightly.
They cooperated very well.
Lu Haochuan, who had been coordinating from the center, charged to the front. His target was the Blazing Tiger King, while Yue Shan, wielding the shield tower, unhesitatingly chose the Fire Scale Trident Boar.
Almost the instant they appeared, the bewildered Blazing Tiger King's eyes suddenly erupted with deep-seated hatred, anger, and madness.
Its intelligence is extremely high, in no way inferior to that of humans.
In an instant, he realized that the sudden and devastating attack was caused by this group of humans in front of him!
"roar--"
Amidst the tiger's roar, the remaining beasts went into a berserk state.
A great war is about to break out!
