Chapter 1782: Terrifying Hive Of Bees!

In a mission, the fewer the aircrafts in a formation, the more skilful the aviators’ abilities in executing the mission.

Obviously, two aircrafts was the lowest possible number in a formation. The two aircrafts worked as an integrated whole to defend against the enemy. That was the distinct quality of the aviators.

A total of fifty aircrafts from the Central Army Corps’ Air Force Battalion One formed twenty-five formations which flew toward their different targets. It revealed their prowess.

Even Dong Zian who felt recalcitrant toward Yu Guanzhi nodded in approval upon witnessing the scene. The Air Force Battalion One was Yu Guanzhi’s most prized troop. It was truly an elite team of aviators.

Moreover, the speed of these supersonic aircrafts surpassed the speed of the reconnaissance robots earlier. Not long after, these aircrafts arrived in the northernmost core area.

The bats noticed the presence of these aircrafts immediately.

At present, these soul aircrafts were flying at an altitude of over three thousand meters. The four-clawed bats could not fly at this height, thus leaving the six-clawed bats to engage the aircrafts in the sky.

The Air Force Battalion One’s Formation-1 was the first team to encounter the six-clawed bat colony which was blocking their way. There were over a dozen enormous six-clawed bats encroaching upon them in all directions.

A strong supersonic soundwave was unleashed to enshroud the airspace in an attempt to jam the electronic devices in the soul aircrafts.

However, these soul aircrafts were the most advanced combat weapons in the Federation today. They were exceptional in their anti-jamming abilities.

The two aircrafts in Formation-1 did not have the slightest intention to dodge these six-clawed bats at all.

The aircrafts were approaching the bat colony. A radiance flickered once at the ventral hatch as two beams shot out. Soon after, the beams extended sideways. Two additional beams were shot, followed by two more beams.

A total of six shots at the ventral hatch were shot, in a wave-like pattern, at the six-clawed bats ahead.

One of the six-clawed bats suddenly closed its wings and positioned itself at the front. It was the largest amongst the six-clawed bats.

A series of poof sounds were heard. Six rays penetrated its wings leaving behind six holes. The six-clawed bat gave out an agonizing shrill.

However, the rest of the six-clawed bats had already charged forward.

Meanwhile, the two soul aircrafts executed an incredible maneuver.

The lead aircraft suddenly decelerated. In fact, it paused for a moment in the sky. Then, its nose swerved up to complete a cobra-like movement. It abruptly raised its nose to a vertical position, then it soared toward the sky akin to a rocket.

At the same time it made the maneuver, a layer of faint green light shield appeared around the aircraft. The wingman’s aircraft was affected by the faint green light shield. It was sucked toward the lead aircraft. The wingman’s aircraft had actually decelerated along with the lead aircraft earlier. After being sucked toward the lead aircraft, it began to revolve around the lead aircraft within a confined space.

A fuzzy red ball shimmered at the nose of the wingman’s aircraft. It remained flickering at high speed.

The dozen or more six-clawed bats were about to charge forward when they suddenly stopped in succession. Soon after, the bats dropped uncontrollably from the sky heading toward the ground. Midway, they exploded and turned into a grayish mist.

All the soldiers who witnessed the scene cheered aloud.

The two aviators who were given the title of Formation-1 in the Air Force Battalion One were certainly top level pilots. The maneuver they made earlier was exceedingly difficult especially when it was executed in a siege.

The green shield around the lead aircraft vanished when all the six-clawed bats were wiped out. The wingman’s aircraft lost its traction, so it immediately turned around and followed the lead aircraft to an even higher altitude. Both aircrafts flew to an altitude above seven thousand meters instantly. They then flew at the ultrahigh altitude where the six-clawed bats could not go!

Later, the two aircrafts made a turnaround in the sky. With their noses pointing down, both aircrafts flew down from the sky akin to free-falling objects. A red radiance could be seen flickering furiously on the noses of both aircrafts. The aircrafts made minor changes in their directions continuously, yet they were aimed directly at the six-clawed bats.

Where the aircrafts passed, the six-clawed bats dropped down in succession before exploding into mist balls.

Those were heavy ion beams!

Undoubtedly, the six-clawed bats were incapable of resisting the beams despite their resilient defense due to the beam’s high strike effectiveness. Only the Federation could develop heavy ion beams with their cutting-edge technology.

Apparently, the Air Force Battalion One was fully equipped with these new weapons. When it was utilized currently, it produced instant results.

The same scene was happening in different places as well. The six-clawed bats were incapable of stopping the elite aviators from the Air Force Battalion One. Subsequently, the people could see the six-clawed bats dropping from the sky one after another. The bats exploded in the sky and turned into a grayish mist which spewed toward one direction.

The direction was obviously where the abyssal passage lied.

In the command post, Yu Guanzhi could not help cracking into a smile upon witnessing the scene. His expenditure of the military budget did not go wasted. The Air Force Battalion One’s first victory in the battle today had added to his honor.

However, his pride only lasted a while.

All of a sudden, dark cloud-like entities which blotted out the sky and covered the sun appeared. They could not possibly be clouds because clouds did not fly at such high speeds.

The aura that blotted out the sky and covered up the sun felt like a sandstorm.

A lead aircraft closest to the entity immediately enlarged its visual field so it could transmit a more detailed image to the command post.

The generals in the command post could not help drawing in a cold breath upon seeing the scenario in the black fog.

It was not just a black fog. It was actually made up of creatures about the size of a fist akin to giant-sized bees.

Every single one of those creatures were shining with a metallic gloss. They were pitch-black and had six wings on their backs. Although the wings were tiny and each wing was as thin as a cicada’s wings, the creatures were flying at an unusually high speed and gave out a soft buzzing sound.

“What’s that?” Yu Guanzhi instantly looked toward the Bright Mirror Douluo Zhang Huanyun.

As the general who had a rich experience in dealing with abyssal creatures, Zhang Huanyun was given the title of deputy supreme commander in this war. He was to aid Yu Guanzhi in commanding the entire army.

Zhang Huanyun appeared to be in a daze. He said anxiously, “This is a new species of abyssal creatures. We’ve never seen it before. Withdraw the air force and be careful. Let’s launch the long-range attack then.”

As the supreme commander, Yu Guanzhi understood very well that he should not hesitate when he was in command of a war. He issued the order immediately. “Withdraw Air Force Battalion One. The first defense line to fire the long-range anti-aircraft guns and set the soul beams at ten-degree elevation.”

The frontline was well-prepared. The gigantic gun barrels were extended and their directions adjusted rapidly according to the coordinates received from the Air Force Battalion One.

Soon after, a series of continuous booming noises were heard. Dense beams were shot in succession. Over a thousand beams were shot at the targets in the distance.

The Air Force Battalion One withdrew at once upon receiving the order. The twenty-five formations cut out graceful arc lines in the sky in preparation to withdraw.

However, those giant bee-like abyssal creatures flying at the frontmost began to change suddenly at this exact moment.

From the images sent back by the Air Force Battalion One, one could see large screens of green radiance appear behind the giant bees.

At close quarters, it was observed the green radiance came from their wings. Their wings fluttered so quickly that they turned into green radiance before vanishing completely. At the same time, the speeds of these giant bees increased exponentially. They achieved supersonic speeds almost instantly.

The Air Force Battalion One which had turned around did not achieve full acceleration yet. It was impossible for the aircrafts to reach supersonic speeds at this very moment. The aircrafts were enshrouded by the giant bees shimmering with a green glow.
