Even a slight exertion of force left a huge crater in the spot, and the next second Cao Han's figure had already appeared in front of Lucy Pallas and Lin Yang.
boom! boom! boom! boom!
The missiles struck the target in quick succession, causing a massive explosion that sent shockwaves and billowing smoke raging in all directions.
Even from hundreds of meters away, the three people could clearly feel the terrifying power of the missile explosion.
When she came before them, she merely blew on the tips of her hair.
"I will immediately contact the executive department to report the attack, request support, and ask my mentor to use satellites to help us locate the target that attacked us."
Lucy Pallas explained her thoughts in an orderly manner.
“Reporting the attack to the Executive Department is fine, but there’s no need for support. Let’s have the school’s public affairs department come and clean up the battlefield instead,” Cao Han shook his head and modified his senior’s suggestion.
"you know……"
"Hmph!" Cao Han snorted coldly with an unfriendly expression. "Who else could it be but the Doomsday Faction in this godforsaken Siberian region? Senior, you and Lin Yang wait here for the other specialists from the Execution Department to arrive."
"What about you, junior?" In her haste, Lucy Pallas didn't care about the proper way to address him.
"It's only polite to reciprocate! Since they've greeted us in such a unique way, wouldn't it be incredibly rude of me not to return the greeting?"
Just as Cao Han was about to leave, he suddenly remembered that Lin Yang's disdain had not been completely washed away yet. Leaving Lucy Pallas alone in the freezing cold would be quite risky.
A person who dies cannot be brought back to life.
Compared to returning the favor immediately, Cao Han valued the safety of his senior, Lucy Pallas, more.
However, he is also adaptable.
Dragging Lucy around at high speeds would be inconvenient, but dragging Lin Yang around would eliminate that concern.
Cao Han looked at Lin Yang and said frankly, "Lin Yang, I'm worried about leaving you here with Lucy Pallas."
"I swear……"
"Forget about swearing an oath. I'll just take you with me. Senior, you stay here and watch over Camilla's body for him."
Without giving the two a chance to react, Cao Han had already completed his action. He reached out his right hand and wrapped it around Lin Yang's waist without saying a word, then tucked him under his arm.
"No, no, I don't want to, ah, ah, ah, ah..."
Lin Yang, who was being held under the arm of a man in an extremely shameful position and unable to move, still wanted to make a last-ditch effort, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he was hit by a mouthful of icy snow brought up by the high-speed movement, and what came out after that became incomprehensible words.
Cao Han raced along the trajectory of the missile, believing that he could lock onto them once he got close enough to their perception range.
at the same time.
On the other side, at the location of the Doomsday Faction action team.
Inside the core tactical vehicle, the seven people and one dragon—a total of eight heads—all gathered in front of the radar detector, their eyes fixed intently on the screen.
They held their breath the moment the four missiles hit their target, not wanting to miss even a second.
however!
Facing the still-present spots of light on the radar detector, there was a deathly silence.
Even though I had some expectations beforehand, it was indeed a bit of an overreaction to think that just four portable missiles could cause damage to the dragons, whose strength might even surpass that of Malphite.
"Ugh!"
A heavy sigh escaped Captain Levi's lips. The situation had reached its worst point; the opponent was far stronger than they had imagined.
In his assessment, an opponent that even missiles couldn't threaten, would likely be ineffective if all of them swarmed together.
As for the only dragon present, Malphite...
He knew full well that he had human blood flowing through his veins, and from the very beginning, he had never expected the other party to stand with them through thick and thin, to live and die together.
"Let's sacrifice the pawn to save the king. Murphy, you take the rest of the group and run towards... towards Yekaterinburg. I'll lead one squad to stay behind and cover the retreat."
Levi originally wanted to say "flee towards Nibelungen", but then he thought, what if the target dragons had Nibelungen as their target from the very beginning?
So their actions are exactly what the other side wants, letting the wolf into the house!
Choosing Yekaterinburg is also due to the fact that it is a human city. Generally speaking, ordinary dragons rarely attack human cities on their own initiative.
Firstly, it would expose oneself.
Secondly, their level of strength is not yet at the level of the four monarchs, who are unafraid of any modern artillery fire.
However, this made choosing someone to stay behind and cover the retreat the most important task.
No one wants to be the one who is destined to die.
When faced with Levi's gaze, anyone would either lower their head in embarrassment or avoid eye contact the moment their eyes meet.
"Levi... Captain Levi."
Just then, a panicked sound broke the calm. It came from the man in charge of the various devices, who had been monitoring them the whole time.
"what happened?"
"The target is moving towards us at an even faster speed than before, and it's estimated to be in ten..."
"Ten minutes left?"
Levi's expression turned extremely grave upon hearing this.
The threat of death weighed heavily on the minds of everyone in the action team, making it hard for them to breathe.
However, the man in charge of the equipment's second sentence plunged everyone into despair: "Ten seconds!"
"Six seconds..."
"They're coming!!! It's too late to escape, everyone prepare to face them head-on!!!"
In such an urgent situation, the man in charge of the equipment didn't care whether his orders were overstepping his bounds. He grabbed the communication equipment in the car and roared to notify the entire action team.
That is, the instant that everyone in the action team was alerted.
boom! ! !
With a loud bang, as if a meteor had fallen to the ground, a cloud of snow and ice filled the air, obscuring everyone's view.
When the wind and snow gradually dissipate.
Cao Han's figure gradually emerged from a not-too-large pit, along with Lin Yang, whose body looked somewhat stiff.
God knows how desperate Lin Yang felt at that moment.
If given another chance, he would never want to be with Cao Han again.
At the same time, Levi and the others inside the tactical vehicle quickly filed out, igniting their golden eyes as if they had planned it in advance.
Their actions served as a lead, prompting the rest of the team to immediately activate their golden eyes as well.
They all knew the terrifying strength of the opponent they were about to face, and to hold back or conceal their abilities at this point would be no different from playing with their own lives.
Disregarding martial ethics?
There is only one principle when dealing with enemies: annihilate them at all costs!
A human-shaped figure could be vaguely seen from the center. Levi didn't give Cao Han a chance to say a word, and immediately roared:
"Everyone, focus fire on this remote-controlled target!!!"
Word of Power: Thunder Pool, Word of Power: Blazing Sun, Word of Power: Shadow Flow, Word of Power: Ice Thorn...
With a command, all sorts of different elemental spirits unleashed a barrage of concentrated firepower at Cao Han in the center.
The combined power of dozens of people's words at the same time even caused a brief period of elemental turbulence, churning the space like a meat grinder.
No one dared to stop.
Physical exertion is worthless in the face of life.
However, out of caution, Levi did not continuously release his Word of Power, but instead conserved his strength to deal with the situation, focusing intently on the target figure in the center.
An unknown incantation, Yin Flow, seemed to stir up a violent airflow, simultaneously dispersing the wind and snow obstructing the center.
When everyone looked in that direction immediately.
There was no one left in sight.
Just as Levi, whose expression had changed drastically, was about to warn everyone to be careful, a foot swiftly and unexpectedly kicked him in the buttocks.
Levi, who was kicked into the air, forcibly turned his body to look back.
Behind where I had been standing, I saw a stranger.
The one who saved Levi's life by stepping in just in time was Murphy, the only one present who reacted.
"Dragon clan?"
Cao Han turned his head with great interest to look at the dragon that had kicked out.
Chapter 167 One person surrounds a group of people
"Dragon Clan!?"
Cao Han watched Murphy with great interest.
The unique, beast-like aura emanating from the other party was impossible to mistake at such close range.
"The same... clan?" Murphy's expression turned solemn.
He discovered a slight miscalculation in his assessment of the situation; even at close range, he couldn't discern the other person's exact identity, as if they were from the same clan, yet he couldn't be 100% certain.
"Humanity!"
Cao Han gave his own answer with a resounding voice. Even though it was an indisputable fact that his bloodline belonged to the pure-blooded dragon race, he preferred to admit that the essence of his soul belonged to the human side.
Humanity?
That means they're mixed-race!
Murphy's expression changed drastically. Given the pride of pure-blooded dragons, it was impossible for them to lower themselves and admit to being human. Therefore, there was only one possibility left for the other party to say this: that they were a hybrid.
Such a rare combination of a hybrid and a pure-blooded dragon, especially in the Siberian region.
Cao Han immediately connected the group that attacked Novsky with the people around him.
"Hey, I'm telling you! Didn't you guys attack a mixed-race group of seven or eight people a few days ago?"
