92: Is this the strength of the ancient warriors?

"All forces, advance!"

Early the next morning, as hundreds of amphibious tanks and armored vehicles were in position, General Ning immediately ordered the entire army to mobilize.

For a time, the roar of engines was incessant.

The amphibious tanks led the charge; once in the water, they began to brave the wind and waves, maintaining a steady speed.

The armored vehicles followed closely behind.

Bringing up the rear were countless rubber boats carrying officers and soldiers, as their numbers were too great for the limited amphibious tanks and armored vehicles to accommodate everyone.

However, with the tanks providing cover, the officers and soldiers remained composed, their faces filled with confidence.

"Command post, we need missile support!"

From one of the amphibious tanks in the middle, General Ning contacted the command post in Yunzhou, saying with a serious voice, "The number of fierce beasts ahead is unknown. To avoid excessive soldier casualties, we must first conduct a bombing!"

"Received!"

Almost as soon as he finished speaking, the command post responded, "The command post can precisely strike any locked target within three minutes!"

"It would be even better if General Ning could provide accurate coordinates."

"Understood!"

After ending the call, General Ning took the deployment map and was making minor adjustments to the battle plan.

Suddenly, he heard his nephew's voice beside him and couldn't help but look up.

"I want to lead the charge!"

Li Jian directly opened the hatch of the amphibious tank, stepped onto the lake surface, his expression incredibly firm. "The first shot of this war should be fired by me!"

The closer he got to Yunxia Mountain, the more his anger surged.

However, General Ning immediately doused him with a bucket of cold water.

He poked half his body out of the hatch, frowned, and said, "Come back! Now is not the time for you to show off!"

"No one knows how many fierce beasts are on the other side. If you rush over now, it will only be a dead end!"

He was very worried about something happening to his nephew, and at this moment, he disregarded his official status. "Stay by my side obediently; there will be a time for you to act."

"But I can't wait any longer!"

Li Jian threw out these words and then quickly moved forward on the lake surface.

Soon after, he rendezvoused with the foremost troops and immediately saw the mountains at the end of his vision.

At this moment, Li Jian clenched his fists, staring intently ahead, and roared in a voice only he could hear, "Golden Tiger King, I'm here!"

"Land!"

At the same time, the officer of the vanguard unit gave an order.

As soon as the amphibious tanks touched the lake shore, soldiers swarmed out of their hatches, quickly occupying the area to secure a safe space for the subsequent forces.

"Roar!"

"Caw—"

Simultaneously, countless roars erupted from the mountains.

Immediately after, the soldiers' expressions suddenly turned grim.

They first felt the ground begin to tremble violently, and then large sections of trees fell. Moments later, they saw a massive army of fierce beasts charging out, their momentum astonishing.

"They're here!"

"This is practically a den of fierce beasts!"

The soldiers grew increasingly nervous, as this was their first time facing so many fierce beasts.

"Fire!"

Just then, the officer of the vanguard unit reported the precise coordinates and roared loudly, "Requesting missile fire support!"

At this point, there was still some distance between the human forces and the fierce beast army.

Before missile support arrived, the human soldiers, seeing the fierce beasts getting closer and closer, nervously swallowed, and their hands instinctively gripped their various firearms.

They waited only for an order to launch a thunderous attack.

"Boom, boom, boom—"

Finally, with bursts of whistling sounds, the soldiers rejoiced!

Missiles, trailing beautiful exhaust plumes, plunged directly into the fierce beast army, instantly blasting countless fierce beasts at the forefront into pieces.

After a round of bombing, the vanguard officer immediately led the charge, a roar erupting from his mouth, "Don't conserve ammunition, keep advancing!"

"Kill!"

The soldiers surged forward like a tide, flanking and following the tanks and armored vehicles.

"Roar—"

Suddenly, a mighty roar erupted from the midst of the fierce beast horde, drawing the attention of almost everyone.

A colossal creature, in a few leaps within the beast horde, quickly took the lead, charging directly towards the human forces.

"Has the legendary Golden Tiger King appeared?"

Some soldiers instinctively thought this, as the Golden Tiger King's impact was simply too great, and the approaching creature was also as massive as ever.

But soon, someone recognized a difference, "This isn't the Golden Tiger King, it seems to be... Yuan Dali?"

The soldiers gasped repeatedly.

They looked at the giant ape, even larger than those in sci-fi movies, and for a moment, fear welled up in their hearts, even slowing their movements.

Upon realizing this, the vanguard officer directly shouted on the public combat channel, "Fire!"

"Eliminate Yuan Dali first!"

Boom, boom, boom—

In an instant, countless munitions bombarded Yuan Dali.

At this time, Yuan Dali had already reached the late second stage.

"Roar!"

Seeing the incoming munitions, he instantly stopped, then pounded his chest and stomped his feet, letting out a terrifying roar. The powerful sound waves within it detonated the munitions one by one!

For a time, smoke and dust filled the air.

The line of sight between the human forces and the fierce beast army was completely obscured; no one knew if this attack had been successful.

"Is he dead?"

Whoosh—

Just as the human soldiers were wondering, a figure suddenly rushed out from within the smoke and dust.

Yuan Dali charged in a few steps to the front of the human army and, with lightning speed, grabbed the barrel of a tank, then hurled it away with force.

Bang, bang, bang!

In an instant, seven or eight tanks were damaged and all were unable to advance!

"You beast, die!"

At this moment, Li Jian arrived through the air, and before he even got close, he unleashed a sword strike towards Yuan Dali.

"The giant ape is already close; the tank unit cannot aim."

"Command post, prepare to initiate supersonic missile bombardment!"

General Ning, protected by others, was about to give an order when he suddenly heard the report and frowned deeply, "What? Li Jian has made his move?"

Now that Li Jian was in close combat with the giant ape, he naturally couldn't use missile bombardment anymore!

"Today is the day Li Jian's name will spread across the world..."

On the battlefield, Li Jian unleashed a sword qi, aiming directly for a vital point.

Yuan Dali, on the opposite side, immediately activated his ability at that moment.

His entire body of fur turned black, and the sword qi flashed past his chest.

Thump, thump—

Yuan Dali stumbled, his body falling backward.

He looked down and saw a sword mark clearly left on his chest.

Seeing this, Li Jian laughed triumphantly, "Hahaha, easily defeated!"

But the next second, something no one expected happened.

The fallen Yuan Dali suddenly rose.

Before Li Jian could react, he took a few steps forward, precisely grabbed the human with one hand, and then swallowed him without hesitation!
