Chapter 22 Victory Belongs to Us

When the missiles began to dance once more in the skies above the farm, the outcome of today's war was sealed.

Five tank-class combat mechs, bombers, and missile trucks formed an impenetrable line of fire, trapping the hundred-plus beast kings who had landed on Raging Breath Island within the encirclement, like rats caught in a boiling pot of oil.

These high-intensity, devastating weapons of war were unleashed upon the beast tide by Li Tianran as if they were free for the taking.

Faced with suddenly amplified firepower, the beast tide was unable to mount any effective defense.

When the beast kings saw Li Tianran standing atop the wall, they seemed to realize something. Just then, a dark shadow fell from the sky, crashing heavily into the midst of the beast tide.

It was a massive python head, dripping with blood.

As the head landed in the center of the beast tide, all the beast kings understood: Raging Breath Island tonight was a trap, a net large enough to wipe them all out.

The beast kings possessed intelligence. By observing humans, they believed they had come to understand human treachery and schemes. They had landed on Raging Breath Island in two waves tonight, even using weaker beast kings as cannon fodder. They had been cautious enough.

But they had still lost, utterly and completely.

Not only because Li Tianran possessed superior physical and mental strength, but also because they had underestimated how ruthless and cunning he could be. He had used everything he had as bait, employing an extremely dangerous method to achieve his goals. A single misstep would have sent him plunging into the abyss.

But Li Tianran had won. He had successfully tricked the beast kings with himself.

The beast kings believed they had understood humans well enough, but in reality, their understanding was far from complete.

As the rulers of this world for tens of thousands of years, humans had created not only high-intensity weapons and technologies, but also insidious, cruel, and even insane war strategies.

This kind of war wisdom was something the beast kings could not replicate and learn in a short period of time.

People said that beasts were ferocious and cruel, but that was only reflected in their habits. If ferocity and madness of the soul were to be ranked, Li Tianran, as a human, was far above the beast kings.

The sky was ablaze with fire in front of the farm, and a scorching heatwave rushed towards them.

Looking at the flying flesh and earth-shattering roars, Professor Nan, Qin Yiming, and the others found that the scenes that would normally make them feel flustered, agitated, and nauseous now brought them a sense of peace.

Missiles, bombers, tank-class combat mechs - with these three heavy weapons engaged in battle, the beast tide collapsed at a visible rate. A mere three minutes of fire coverage almost completely shattered the beast tide.

Thousands of rockets slammed down, pulverizing not only the flesh and blood of the beast tide, but also the earth itself.

Large numbers of mutated beasts scattered and fled in panic. Many were not directly hit by the shells, but were melted by the high temperatures generated in the bombardment zone…

This was a war that would go down in the history of Raging Breath Island.

Just days ago, large numbers of mutated beasts and beast kings had come ashore, slaughtering the humans on the island, destroying its civilization, and turning it into a nest for storing rations.

And today, Li Tianran was using equally brutal methods to wipe out the beast kings.

The frozen earth had become a sea of fire, the high-temperature rockets covering several kilometers of land in front of the farm, even melting the rocks.

Within the fire-covered zone, screams and wails were heartbreaking. Large numbers of mutated beasts scurried madly in this situation. The beast kings had also lost precise control over the mutated beasts, and they began to look for a breakthrough point to escape Raging Breath Island and return to the sea.

Within five hundred meters in front of the farm, the beast tide was quickly cleared by the five tank-class mechs and heavy artillery. The scorching heat made the steel-cast walls begin to grow hot.

Professor Nan and Qin Yiming left the combat zone, while Tang Su and Han Han swallowed large quantities of Ancient Medicine grade fruits, and their strength gradually recovered.

"Awoo!"

A beast king, its flesh and blood ignited, howled at the sky. It was over 30 meters tall, an extremely powerful Divine Descent type beast king with amazing defensive power. It had withstood seven or eight small missiles and was still able to stand. At this moment, it roared and ran wildly towards the outside of the encirclement.

A large number of mutated beasts gathered around it, seeming to defend it from the artillery fire.

"The beast kings have been defeated, they are preparing to escape…" Li Tianran closed his eyes. Hundreds of patrol-class radars flew around the battlefield, providing him with extremely detailed battlefield images. He suddenly opened his eyes: "Bombers, cease attack! Heavy missile trucks, cease attack!"

"Armed helicopters, prepare to move out! Tank-class combat mechs, prepare to move out! Begin hunting down the fleeing beast kings!"

The outcome of this war was no longer in doubt, but Li Tianran wanted more than just to eliminate the threats around Raging Breath Island. He also wanted to obtain some valuable resources through this war.

The flesh and blood of the beast kings.

The beast kings themselves were an important resource. Their flesh and blood were very effective in enhancing the abilities of evolutionaries, and the taste was much better than that of farmed livestock.

Ever since eating the two beast kings he hunted last time, Li Tianran had been thinking about beast king meat for a long time.

And now there were hundreds of beast kings on the entire Raging Breath Island. The flesh and blood added up to an estimated hundreds or even thousands of tons. Li Tianran didn't want all these materials to be turned into coke under the high-temperature artillery fire.

Buzz!

Helicopters took off and machine guns fired, causing large swaths of mutated beasts below to fall to the ground.

The tank-class mechs charged into the battlefield. The high temperature of the flames in the battlefield had no effect on the mechanical bodies made of alloy materials. They were hunters wandering in the battlefield, their electronic eyes emitting a scarlet light. Every time the narrow, serrated blade was swung, the body of a beast king was cut open.

Li Tianran sat in the helicopter, transmitting the weaknesses of the beast kings to the tank-class combat mechs.

With this Bug-like ability and the blessing of powerful firepower, almost no beast king could escape beyond ten kilometers…

…

Half an hour later, Raging Breath Island returned to calm.

No… not calm, but deathly silence.

The smoke of the battlefield had not yet dissipated, and the dense corpses of mutated beasts covered the ground, blood flowing like rivers!

The sound of helicopters breaking through the air came. With the blessing of "Gravity Reduction", Li Tianran's body descended from the sky like a feather. He stood in front of everyone, smiling, and said: "Everyone! We have achieved an absolute victory! After this war, we can be considered to have completely mastered this island!"

"Now, we can take stock of our gains!"
