Chapter 147

No one could answer the officer's question, because even the commander didn't know when reinforcements would arrive. The southeast defense line, under siege by the beast tide, spanned over a hundred kilometers, with more than ten battlefields of varying sizes. This was just one military base, one main battle point! The defending force here consisted of only two divisions, totaling no more than twenty thousand!

On this battlefield, there were only thirty or so fighter planes dancing in the sky, their firepower simply insufficient to stop the massive beast tide below.

Many might wonder why there were so few fighter planes on this battlefield. Perhaps the grand spectacle created by Li Tianran and the allied powers had misled many, making them believe that high-precision weapons like fighter jets and bombers were common and cheap.

In reality, a single fighter jet easily cost over a hundred million euros to manufacture, and the daily maintenance and repairs were even more expensive. Ordinary small countries simply couldn't afford to maintain a large number of warplanes, let alone buy the technology to manufacture high-precision ones.

Even f country, one of the five major powers, had only about a thousand military aircraft of various types in active service. Countries like Iran had only about three hundred fighter jets in their entire air force!

On the southeast defense line, a total of only one hundred and fifty warplanes were deployed, spread across many battle points spanning a hundred kilometers. Having thirty warplanes at each battlefield was already considered a high number!

Unable to completely suppress the enemy through aerial firepower, the soldiers could only drive tanks and war vehicles to engage the beast tide head-on in the plains. But the ammunition for these heavy weapons was also consumed extremely quickly. Soon, when the ammunition ran out, the soldiers had to switch to light weapons and engage in hand-to-hand combat with the mutated beasts!

"When the tanks run out of ammunition, let the evolved ones take over! When the evolved ones are all dead, let the ordinary soldiers take over! When the ordinary soldiers are all dead, the officers will pick up their weapons!" The commander's eyes were bloodshot as he roared, "Even if we fight to the last man, I won't let these monsters cross this line before we're all dead!"

The officer trembled all over, and he asked the commander in a mournful voice, "Sir, what are the allied powers doing? Why aren't they coming to support us?"

"They're helping someone vent their personal anger, destroying a city and saving another woman..." The commander looked up, fully aware of where the allied forces had gone, his voice icy.

The officer was unable to accept this, and he roared in anger, "Is one person's personal anger more important than the lives of a hundred thousand human warriors on this defense line? Is one woman's life that important?"

"..." The commander didn't know how to answer the officer's question. He turned his head to look at the battlefield situation monitor.

Their battle line was collapsing. The lack of ammunition was causing the human soldiers to retreat steadily. If no miracle occurred, this battle point would be breached by the frenzied mutated beasts in ten minutes at most.

"Prepare to die." The commander straightened his collar and strode out of the command center.

*Buzzing!*

Suddenly, the roar of a large number of warplanes echoed in the sky, as ear-splitting as a thunderclap!

"The allied powers' reinforcements have arrived!" The officer was stunned, overjoyed!

"No, not the allied powers' reinforcements... These warplanes are... are..." The commander's eyes widened as he saw the logos on those warplanes and armed helicopters, belonging to no country!

*Buzz!*

A blood-red banner descended from the sky, plunging straight into the hellish battlefield below, fluttering fiercely amidst countless corpses!

The golden long sword and hibiscus flower emblem danced wildly in the gale, seemingly splitting the entire battlefield apart.

"That logo is... the Pioneers!" How could the commander not recognize this banner that had recently become a household name in the human world?

In just seven days, it had been planted in more than thirty cities, and tens of thousands of beast kings and countless mutated beasts had fallen beneath this banner!

"Li Tianran's men!" The commander's eyes trembled.

Just a few days ago, his country had dispatched warplanes to encircle and suppress Li Tianran and the Pioneer warriors under this banner. The end result was the nuclear explosion known to the world!

His country had been severely humiliated, and even his biological younger brother, a pilot, had died in that encirclement battle.

Logically speaking, he should have hated the Pioneer Corps, hated this banner!

But for some reason, when he saw this banner, he actually felt a sense of relief and escape from death. This feeling made him feel ashamed, but no matter how he tried to adjust, he couldn't drive this feeling out of his heart!

During the period when the Pioneer Corps rampaged through the ruined cities and swept through the beast king tribes, many people who had witnessed everything firsthand had given the same, astonishing evaluation of their combat power.

That was invincible!

In battles between evolved ones, the Pioneer Corps... was invincible!

Lu Xiao, tall and with a wolf-tail braid at the back of his head, opened the hatch of the armed helicopter, looked at the tragic, hellish battlefield below, and shouted into the satellite phone in his hand, "Yes! I have arrived at the battlefield! Please rest assured, I will not let you and Instructor Lu down!"

"Even the new Pioneers can continue the myth of invincibility!"

Yes, on the eve of the collapse of the Southeast Kailing Fort defense line, the first reinforcements to arrive were not the European Union, nor Russia, nor Yanhuang, but the Pioneer Corps from Kuangxi Island!

Of course, this was not to say that the Pioneer Corps' warplanes were faster and more agile than those of the major powers, but because Kuangxi Island was located outside the defense line planned by the Human Alliance, outside the Kailing Fort defense line!

Lu Xiao had previously led the new Pioneer warriors to the Heavenly Kingdom's lair when they were attacked, causing them to be blocked midway. The place where they were blocked was in the sea area hundreds of kilometers away from the Kailing Fort defense line. After the "Heavenly Kingdom" was bombed by the Allied Powers, Lu Xiao and others no longer needed to continue to the Heavenly Kingdom's lair. They were instructed to clean up the battlefield at the engagement point. After Li Tianran received information from the heads of various countries, he directly ordered the Pioneers who remained in place to go to the Kailing Fort defense line to provide support.

*Buzz!*

A large number of warplanes streaked past!

Pioneer warriors rained down, raising their steel knives, as fierce as tigers, forming a line of defense that actually blocked the beast tide that even tanks could not resist!

Then, they began to push forward horizontally!

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

"Advance! Advance!"

The battle line formed by the Pioneer warriors roared and began to counterattack against the pressure of the beast tide!

One mutated beast after another was torn to pieces with miserable cries, and one huge beast king after another began to wail!

When the blood-colored banner fell, beast kings had already retreated!

This was the power of killing!

It was the fierce reputation of slaughtering more than thirty cities and tens of thousands of beast kings!

The seemingly invincible beast tide began to collapse under the knives of the Pioneer warriors!

The defeat of the human defenders was completely reversed with the addition of more than three thousand Pioneer warriors!

"Glug!"

The human defenders, covered in blood and already resigned to death, swallowed silently, bursting into tears after their joy, weeping for joy because they could continue to live.

The officer and commander stood in front of the command center, watching the battlefield in silence.

"I can answer your question from just now now." The commander looked at the Pioneer Corps who were as if entering an unpopulated land, and said very seriously, "Yes, when you can create such a legion, when you can have the power to reverse the fate of the entire human race..."

"Your relatives and friends, their lives will be more important than a hundred thousand people!"

"Your emotions will be like the weather!"

"When you are happy, the world will be happy with you!"

"When you are angry, the world will collapse because of you!"
