This was a very strange scene. The rocks and trees in the contaminated area were gradually swallowed up by the rising swamp. In the green swamp, countless ferocious and terrifying monsters emerged. The Devourer army rushed toward the hillside like an avalanche. However, when these monsters passed by Ding Meng's group, they treated Ding Meng's group as if they were nothing and even spontaneously made way for them.
As Ding Meng's group walked deeper into the contaminated area, the starship's radar cut off the real-time image again due to the energy of the poison barrier.
Many staff members turned their heads to look at Haodong with disbelief on their faces.
Haodong fell into deep thought. He obviously couldn't understand this strange thing. Ding Meng was actually safe and sound in the middle of the monster army.
Ling Xingwen said with a cold face, "If this isn't related to the Devourer World, what else can it be?
This is the best evidence. "
The staff member stepped forward again. "Sir, I've uploaded the information to the database."
This meant that they were waiting for instructions from the higher-ups of the military to see if they needed authorization to use the starship's weapon system.
Haodong stared at the screen. "It's impossible to activate the starship's secondary cannons and above."
Ling Xingwen couldn't help but ask, "Why?"
Haodong's face was serious. "The orbital bombardment of the planet destroyers ahead won't destroy Thousand Sails Planet, but it will cause some damage to the planet. This will destroy the ecological environment here and break the balance of Thousand Sails Planet. Besides, these bugs only stopped at the hillside. The Devourer army hasn't crossed the border yet."
Ling Xingwen said, "Are we just going to watch Ding Meng slip away?"
Haodong was also a little worried. Fortunately, the staff member's voice came. "Sir, we've received orders from Horizon Base 1 in the north. We're authorized to use weapons below the star destroyer level to force the Devourer army to withdraw from Thousand Sails Planet."
Haodong was shocked and said decisively, "Pass down my order. Attack Squadron One, prepare to land on Thousand Sails Planet. Coordinates 30, 55, 5D. Our goal is to force the Devourer army to retreat and capture the Federation criminals and their followers."
As soon as he gave the order, Eisendale, who was advancing in the contaminated area, stopped everyone. "Ding Meng, look over there."
Looking up in the direction of her finger, he saw a row of sparkling stars in the dark night sky. If he didn't pay attention, he would think that it was a clear sky after the rain, and the stars were shining brightly. But in fact, the light of this row of stars was very abnormal. It was clearly a kind of light blue color.
Celestial Yuan was the first to react. "Not good, this is the human race's drone fleet. Run!"
Hearing this, the city leader was shocked and took the lead to run. Due to the limited speed of Gu Zi and Yizi, Ding Meng carried Gu Zi on his back and Eisendale carried Yizi on her back. The six of them rushed into the deep area.
The number of stars in the night sky gradually increased. It was originally a row of ten stars, but in just thirty seconds, it became ten rows. A minute later, there were hundreds of stars, densely packed and covering the sky. Looking at the situation, there were still more drones entering the atmosphere. It was said that the demon race's army was as scary as a flood, but no one would have thought that the human fleet would also use the human wave tactic to win by numbers. The scene was just as spectacular.
These drones looked like mantises baring their fangs and brandishing their claws. Their thick and powerful steel forearms were the barrels of all kinds of weapons. The attack of these drones was very orderly. Every forty drones formed a cross formation and swooped down from the sky.
The sound of sharp weapons breaking through the air was often hurried and sharp, but the sound of the drones breaking through the air was like the sound of Sanskrit from the deep sea. Just this sound alone was enough to make people tremble with fear.
The dozens of drones that swooped down at the front opened fire in unison. Countless electric particle laser bullets formed a net and cut the ground. The swamp was instantly set ablaze. Piles of monsters howled and fell down, merging with the pus.
In addition to this net-like firepower, there were also laser beams and cannon shells mixed in. The laser beams were targeted and burned back and forth towards some of the Warrior Tier monsters. The milky white cannon shells were all over the place. For a moment, the ground was completely blasted to the point that it was impossible to see its original appearance. The only thing that could be seen was the various colors of the energy and the explosion effects, including how the monsters died. Of course, in the midst of such an explosion, the ordinary World Devourer monsters would have been turned into ashes without even thinking.
This was not the end, because this round of drones was the first to attack. The ones that swooped down all used the most primitive parabolic projectile. This was obviously a bombardment group. The energy cannons that were thrown down did not explode like before. When all the energy cannons came into contact with the swamp, they turned into oval white energy photons with a bang. Then, there was a sizzling sound as if they were burning the ground. It did not disappear until ten seconds later. There was no explosion effect.
However, when these bombardment groups swept down, it felt as if the ground within a radius of ten kilometers had been blown up with the hill as the center. Hundreds of "egg-like" photon bombs were scattered all over the field. When the explosion ended, the polluted area that was originally rainforest swamp-shaped had turned into a dry desert with rubble all over the ground.
It seemed that the Federation's fleet also had some experience in dealing with the Devouring World army. The first round of attack was aimed at eliminating the monsters, the second round of attack was to purify the polluted terrain, and now it was the third round. Many drones dropped a lot of light spots to the ground. In fact, these were all advanced nanotechnology. When the light spots floated to the ground, they quickly and automatically assembled into huge tanks, forming a torrent of steel that slowly moved forward. This was a typical air and ground cleaning operation.
Xian Yuan used Ding Meng's psychic vision to see all this. For a moment, she was in a trance. A hundred years had passed, and the technology of the Holy Grail Federation had made great progress. In the war a hundred years ago, the Federation's fleet could be called a large-scale military operation, which required the joint efforts of several fleets. Now, just the drone fleet released by two planet destroyers could annihilate tens of thousands of Devouring World troops in an instant and restore the original terrain of the planet. She really couldn't imagine how amazing the power of a whole special patrol fleet of the Federation would be.
Could it be that in the future, the Devouring World would no longer have a chance to dominate the Holy Grail Star System?
In a trance, a holy lake with an area of about 5,000 square meters appeared in the middle of the swamp. The city rudder rushed into the lake first. The lake water rolled as if it was boiling, emitting a strange energy fluctuation. This was the teleportation array of the Devouring World – [Serene Dream Projection]. It had the same principle as the human's [Qu Ying Transmission]. It used precise coordinates to achieve space transfer, but it was far less advanced than [Qu Ying Transmission], because it often took five minutes to activate and teleport people away.
These five minutes were undoubtedly fatal. Ding Meng even injected a small amount of diluted divine light energy into the Guzi siblings to ensure that they would not be poisoned when they walked into the lake.
But at this moment, countless drones whizzed past above their heads, constantly hovering around. Obviously, they had already targeted this place.
The city rudder's face was ashen. "It's over!"
Not to mention that most of his strength had been crippled by Ding Meng, even if he fought against such a large-scale technological force with his body as the leader, his chances of winning were pitifully small. In the end, the Devouring World had underestimated the strength and determination of the Federation. The Devouring World's armed forces were still the same in the past century, but the Federation's technology was constantly upgrading. Moreover, the Federation was really daring to fight, not just sending two planet destroyers here for show. If the Void Ray above you really dares to move, then my Golden Eagle mothership will immediately rush here, and let's have a real fight. Let's see if your Poison Cloud Monster is stronger or my steel cannon is stronger?
Ding Meng's face also sank, because he saw a mantis drone hovering at a low altitude by the lake. The mantis' butt projected a beam of light, and two remote real-time projection mirrors appeared in the beam of light. They were actually Haodong and Ling Xingwen.
Haodong's face was serious. "Ding Meng, don't put up any unnecessary resistance. You won't be able to escape."
Ding Meng couldn't help but sneer. "I'm very curious. When did I become a Grade A criminal of the Federation?"
Ling Xingwen said sternly, "Shut up. You've injured so many people and killed so many powerful Origin Ability users before. Why don't you obediently surrender?"
Ding Meng's eyes were cold. "I haven't even settled the score with you for the descendants of those doctors, and you're the first to bite back."
Ling Xingwen said angrily, "You killed so many seniors of the Ling family, stole the Xinghong Group's energy source, and now you've injured Aunt Fang to this extent. You even dared to attack a military officer. If you're not a criminal, what are you?"
Ding Meng really didn't want to argue with her. "When did the Xinghong Group's energy source become yours?"
Ling Xingwen said, "We were the first to discover it."
Ding Meng was also very angry. "The energy source is with me right now. If you have the ability, come and take it!"
At this moment, the lake below their feet was already emitting dense white gas. Vaguely, a complicated pattern appeared on the surface of the lake. A transmission array was being formed.
Haodong's tone was much gentler. "Ding Meng, no matter what, you've killed Origin Ability users of the Federation. This is an indisputable fact. For the Federation, this is a great loss to its national defense. If you think you've been wronged, you can come back with me to the Holy Splendor Military and give a reasonable explanation. I believe the military will give you a fair explanation. In the name of the Major General of the Holy Grail Federation, I guarantee that your safety will be guaranteed along the way. If you insist on running away, I can only say that you've embarked on a path of no return. I hope you'll reconsider …"
His words were quite objective. If you came back with me now, I could at least guarantee your life. However, if you ran to the Devouring World, it was hard to say if they would accept you, but there would be no place for you in the Holy Grail Federation.
Ling Xingwen's eyes seemed to be a little bloodshot. "Ding Meng, did you hear what the Major General said? I advise you not to become an enemy of the entire Holy Grail Federation. Otherwise, you'll end up in a fate worse than death."
Ding Meng laughed. "You want me to obediently hand over the energy source to you, and then you'll spare my life and clear my name?
Is that what you think? "
"You!"
Ling Xingwen was so angry that she was speechless. That was indeed what she thought. The Starbow Group couldn't send any Origin Ability users who were stronger than Fang Lin for the time being, and they couldn't force Ding Meng to submit by force. They could only use the Federation and the military to pressure him.
Ding Meng laughed. "You're even more naive than that Yu Wenshu. You want me to obediently submit with just a few words? Dream on! You want the energy source?
Even if you kneel and beg me, I won't give it to someone like you. "
"Bastard!" Ling Xingwen was so angry that her face turned pale.
Haodong shook his head helplessly. At the same time, he waved his hand. The beam of light began to retract, and the remote real-time projection quickly ended.
