Chapter 619: Anti-Aircraft Infantry: Finally, It's My Turn!

The first wave of probing attacks had failed, but we had gained some insight into the Winged Clan's strength, which was a decent start.

Simultaneously, Transcendents from various human cities began mobilizing. They used airplanes, high-speed trains, and other means of transportation to head directly to the location where the Winged Clan was set to descend.

Yes, ever since Earth had regained peace, airports and train stations had reappeared. With the power of Transcendents and the current state of technology, the construction of railways and the like had proceeded at a remarkable pace. In just a few months, various railway networks had sprung up, covering nearly every corner of Earth.

This was something unimaginable in the past, and it could only happen in this era.

However, before they could arrive, the Red Alert Base's ground forces were already closing in on the Winged Clan, and the battle was about to begin.

Though it was a probing attack, Su Chen had also dispatched a Super Soldier named Natasha. She was the most recently created Super Soldier and had made the least contributions to the Base, but this time, she had volunteered to serve as the vanguard.

"Commander, the location of the Winged Clan is just ten kilometers ahead," Deputy reported.

"Give them a taste of our Cannon to let them know we're here!" Natasha, full of confidence, gave the order.

At such a long distance, there was only one type of weapon capable of reaching them directly: the Giant Cannon!

The Giant Cannon was enormous and challenging to move. Typically, a group of tanks would drag it along. When it fired, one shot could level an area hundreds of meters in diameter. That was the power of the Giant Cannon.

This weapon, usually used for defensive purposes on city walls, was now being used for offense. As the Cannon roared, it was deafening.

On the other side, the Winged Clan swiftly constructed a temporary camp at their location. It seemed they were prepared to conquer Earth.

Suddenly, a gust of wind rushed by, and the leader of the Winged Clan's face changed. She was about to take action, but it was already too late.

Boom!

The shell from the Giant Cannon landed directly in the Winged Clan's camp, causing a massive explosion and killing dozens of Winged Clan members instantly.

When the Winged Clan leader emerged from the devastation, all she saw was scorched earth and the mutilated bodies of her comrades. However, there was no intense anger on her face, as if her subordinates' deaths meant little to her. "Collect the bodies and bring them back for reconstitution."

The other Winged Clan members showed no emotion as they picked up the bodies of their fallen comrades. If any excited single males were to witness this scene, their fantasies would surely be shattered.

Not far away, Du Jing observed the scene with little reaction. She did, however, catch the mention of "reconstitution," and her brow furrowed slightly.

Reconstitution, in Earth terms, meant recycling and remaking. The Winged Clan was a unique race; they had no fear of death. For them, death was merely a return to the embrace of their homeworld. After a Winged Clan member died, their comrades would bring the bodies back for reconstitution.

Before long, new comrades would emerge.

Yes, the Winged Clan were not naturally born beings; they were a manufactured race!

Even the Protoss had only discovered this fact at great cost, which was one of the reasons they were reluctant to engage in direct conflict with the Winged Clan.

With the Protoss being so scarce in number, losing one of them was a significant loss. In contrast, when a Winged Clan member died and was reconstituted, their numbers remained nearly unchanged. On balance, it was the Protoss who suffered.

Su Chen was naturally intrigued by this, and his thoughts were quickly interrupted by Les's explanation. "Don't think too much about it. The Winged Clan can use the bodies of their fallen comrades for reconstitution, creating new Winged Clan members as long as they have the bodies."

Su Chen realized that he knew far too little about the cosmic races, especially considering the existence of such an unusual race as the Winged Clan.

"What if we completely destroy their bodies?" Su Chen inquired.

"Unless we can obliterate them down to the cellular level, it would be futile," Les replied helplessly.

It was precisely because of these characteristics that Su Chen felt that Earth was in big trouble this time.

Ordinary attacks would certainly not suffice unless they employed Superweapons.

Su Chen nodded and continued to watch the screen. After the Giant Cannon fired, the army was getting closer and closer to the enemy, and finally, the two sides met.

The result of their meeting was an immediate onset of battle.

Due to the Winged Clan's innate wings, they could freely fly in the air, making them all airborne troops. This posed a significant threat to the Tanks.

Fortunately, this time they had specific countermeasures in place. They brought only Apocalypse Tanks capable of anti-aircraft combat, Photon Paladin Tanks modified for anti-aircraft capabilities, and Gatling Cannon Tanks. The rest of the Tanks were left behind.

The remaining forces consisted of various anti-air Weapons, such as Patriot missiles, which had been brought in for this purpose. There was also the Multi-functional Infantry Vehicle, which was quite ordinary under normal circumstances. However, if it was manned by Anti-Aircraft Infantry, it became a formidable Anti-Aircraft weapon. With one shot from its Cannon, the Winged Clan would be unable to withstand it.

In this battle, many new Weapons appeared that had never been seen before.

The Sky Arrow Missile Vehicle, a ZG faction's anti-aircraft masterpiece, was a technology presented by Li Shaolong. After extensive research, they were finally able to construct it directly within the Base.

There was also the Combat Fortress, which was too bulky for offensive purposes but highly suitable for defense. It had not been brought along this time.

It could be said that this was a rare instance of a team composed entirely of anti-air Weapons, specifically tailored to deal with the Winged Clan.

As the Winged Clan army approached and was about to enter firing range, Natasha decisively unleashed her ultimate move, "Summon Kangaroo Bombers!"

Suddenly, a group of enormous bombers appeared in the sky, their massive shadows resembling demons of the night, looking down upon the tiny Winged Clan with impunity.

Simultaneously, all the ground-based Weapons opened fire, aiming directly at the Winged Clan.

Boom, boom, boom!

The scene resembled using a big Cannon to swat mosquitoes—one shot, one hit. The Winged Clan plummeted from the sky like raindrops, still several kilometers away from the Red Alert forces.

"Is this all the strength the Winged Clan has?" Natasha expressed her disappointment upon seeing that the enemy wasn't as formidable as she had imagined.

Suddenly, several figures broke away from the Winged Clan army and flew straight toward them. All the Cannon fire aimed at them was deflected.

In no time, three Winged Clan members appeared above the Red Alert army. They had expressionless faces as they looked down upon the Red Alert army.

"Humans, the great Winged Clan is not to be insulted by you. As the first battle upon our descent to this planet, we shall offer your lives as a sacrifice to our great homeworld!"

To Su Chen's surprise, all three of these Winged Clan members possessed ninth-level strength. In the former Earth, there would have been no one capable of stopping them.

Unfortunately for them, they were facing the Red Alert Base! (To be continued…)
