157: The battle was fierce, and reinforcements arrived.
"Yes!"
Then, a series of roars came from the intercom, and the Defense Department warriors who had been hiding in the surroundings revealed themselves one after another, charging head-on to clash with the rushing Great Lizards.
In a war of races, there is no right or wrong, and no mercy, because losing means genocide.
Therefore, the warriors did not care about outnumbering their opponents or using underhanded methods; as long as they could kill the enemy, they were willing to pay any price.
Of course, the Great Lizard Clan was not weak. Although the weapons made of Starfall Stone by the warriors could break through the phantom energy field carried by the Great Lizards, the Great Lizard Clan naturally possessed formidable strength and defense. The scales on their bodies were their best armor. Furthermore, they did not lack phantom energy stones. The strength of an ordinary Great Lizard could reach about five or six times that of a human. Faced with the warriors of the branch, who generally only had four times the physical fitness of a human, they were essentially crushed in a one-on-one situation. Fortunately, the humans held the advantage in numbers on the scene.
With the cooperation of their comrades, three or four branch warriors could temporarily restrain an ordinary Great Lizard. However, the scene remained incredibly tragic. In just dozens of seconds of head-on collision, many warriors had failed to dodge in time and were hit squarely by the Great Lizards' massive blades. Under the absolute strength gap, some warriors were shaken to death on the spot, while others were heavily injured, spitting blood.
Just as the scene fell into a stalemate, the Great Lizard Commander standing by the aircraft roared at the two Iron Heads beside him. Instantly, the two Iron Heads raised their massive blades and joined the battle.
Iron Heads were already the elite soldiers of the Great Lizard Clan. Their sudden intervention instantly broke the stalemate that had lasted only dozens of seconds. Ordinary human warriors simply could not keep up with their speed and strength. These two Iron Heads basically took a human warrior's life with every swing of their blades. They walked through the battlefield so unscrupulously, turning into reapers of death.
Today, the two Captain-level Warriors leading the teams had just cooperated with their comrades to kill two ordinary Great Lizards. Seeing this scene, their eyes nearly split with rage. Those falling in pools of blood were not weeds, but their comrades and brothers who they spent every day with!
The two of them quickly moved to meet the two Iron Heads, disregarding the gap in strength and switching to life-risking moves, wanting to stop the two Iron Heads from their slaughter.
Fortunately, these two Captain-level Warriors from the Neon Branch were elite-level captains with physical fitness nine times that of an ordinary person. These two Iron Heads had physical fitness around eleven to twelve times that of an ordinary person. Although the gap was large, it wasn't absurd. The two captains, relying on their flexible movement, could initially contend with them.
But as time passed, these two captains began to feel overwhelmed, and the battle became fraught with danger.
In a moment where one captain's reaction was a fraction of a second slow, the Iron Head he was fighting accurately seized the opening. With a sweep of its massive blade, an arm flew into the air. The captain didn't dare to make any other moves, quickly pulling back and retreating more than ten meters, only then escaping the fatal damage of the Iron Head's next strike.
But this captain was already at the end of his rope. The continuous fighting, combined with the loss of an arm, had caused him to lose eighty percent of his combat power. If he went forward to fight again, he would likely be cut down by the Iron Head in a single round.
Sweat the size of beans mixed with blood dripped to the ground. The captain looked around. By this point in the battle, seventy to eighty percent of the warriors they had brought had been killed, and the rest were struggling to hold on. If this Iron Head were allowed to free its hands, all members of these two teams would likely not survive until reinforcements arrived.
Exhaling a mouthful of turbid air, the captain who had lost an arm ignored his still-bleeding wound. Resolutely, he gripped his long blade and pointed it at the Iron Head, who was watching him with interest, shouting, "Invader, come again!"
After shouting, he launched a death charge. He knew that with this charge, he would likely never have a chance to turn back, but he had no regrets... Bang!
Just as he was about to reach the Iron Head, an aircraft appeared in the sky at some unknown time. The cabin door was violently kicked open, and a burly figure was falling rapidly from high altitude. In the blink of an eye, he had landed on the Iron Head's head. The Iron Head instinctively tried to slash at the newcomer, but the person in the air also swung a blade at the right moment. The two massive blades collided, producing a piercing roar. Then, the Iron Head actually failed to withstand the newcomer's strength, and the massive blade in its hand was sent flying. Moreover, the blade's momentum didn't stop, directly cleaving through the Iron Head's phantom energy field and splitting it in two instantly!
"Tsk tsk! This is a Great Lizard? It's damn ugly!" The burly man said with disgust after landing, looking at the Iron Head's corpse.
Immediately after, three more people jumped down from the aircraft. Their targets were also clear: the remaining ordinary Great Lizards on the ground and the last Iron Head.
Like the burly man, after the three landed, they each used a simple slash to finish off the Great Lizards that had been chasing and killing the human warriors just moments ago.
The sudden turn of events caused the scene to fall silent for a moment, but it was followed by earth-shattering cheers!
"Hahaha, reinforcements are here! Our mission is complete!"
"Hahaha, reinforcements are here! I don't have to die!!"
After surviving the disaster, the remaining warriors finally vented their inner fear and hesitation. Some warriors laughed until they cried. As the saying goes, even an ant clings to life, let alone a human!
It was just that everyone had been fighting for their convictions and had temporarily forgotten their fear.
"You guys just clear out the other Giant Lizards; I'll deal with this Great Lizard Commander! Also, Chief Ouyang, don't forget your words, otherwise, we'll be enemies! Understand?" The burly man scanned the surroundings and said to the others who had landed.
"Rest assured, Great Boss Li. Since I, Ouyang Jing, said it, I will definitely do it. Otherwise, you can take my head at any time. Also, thank you, Great Boss Li, for saving my subordinates just now!" The man named Ouyang Jing was the Chief of the Neon Branch of the Defense Department who had come to provide support, and it was he who had personally picked up the three including the Li Huaishan.
On the aircraft, they had chatted briefly. Ouyang Jing had wanted to test the strength of the three including the Li Huaishan. The result was that, without the Li Huaishan even acting, he was beaten up by Qin Gang.
The Li Huaishan nodded, gripped the massive blade made of Starfall Stone with one hand, and slowly walked toward the Great Lizard Commander standing by an aircraft!
Immediately, all eyes on the scene turned toward the Li Huaishan's back.
