The final outcome of the event was Housen's complete defeat. When he finally resigned himself to his fate, spreading his legs wide and exposing himself in a submissive posture, the formation of three Overseers and six Overlords spread across the night sky like a squadron of black demons from hell, tolling the death knell for the 3789th Division's defensive forces.

...

Graham had been troubled by the lack of movement from the enemy side, assuming they had feigned an attack and retreated. However, when he saw the massive flying creatures, as large as frigates, suddenly appear under the night sky, he was utterly dumbfounded.

What happened to the promised frontal assault and decisive battle? Why didn’t they follow the script? Where did these damn wingless monsters capable of flight even come from? Could someone please explain?

Graham felt as if he had swallowed a green fly that had just flown out of a latrine—utterly disgusted. Why hadn’t they used these biological weapons during their attack on the Sulru Empire’s forces earlier? What about the minefields in the buffer zone? The high-voltage electric fences? The death traps? Hadn’t all those defenses become useless now?

"Damn it... damn it..." His furious roar echoed through every soldier's communicator. This devout religious man had, for once, lost his usual composure.

"Captain, don’t panic. We should immediately inform command. Don’t forget, our anti-air systems aren’t just for show—they’ll make these reckless bastards taste the pain of having their asses blown off."

"Yes, yes, James, you’re absolutely right. Radio operator, quickly send this intel back to headquarters."

Following Graham’s orders, the radio operator swiftly transmitted the message back to the base command center.

It was actually unnecessary. Through the reconnaissance satellite's camera lens, everyone in the command room had already witnessed this unbelievable scene. Edward had risen from the sofa, Hu Qing’s expression had changed dramatically, and no one present had anticipated that the enemy’s previous display of troops was merely the tip of the iceberg.

These massive airborne creatures before them could not only fly but also carry people.

"Order: All anti-aircraft gun batteries and surface-to-air missile arrays to stand by. Once those damned things enter effective range, open fire immediately." Edward tightly gripped his small square glass, his expression unusually grim.

"Yes, sir." The liaison officer acknowledged the order and hurried to relay the attack instructions to all anti-air facilities.

"Order: All 120mm cannon turrets to switch to anti-air mode. Railguns to charge. All vehicles equipped with anti-air missile launchers to prepare for action."

"Yes, sir."

Orders were issued methodically, and though the personnel in the command room were tense, they weren’t overly concerned. The base’s defenses were as solid as a rock, especially in terms of anti-air capabilities. Even the medium-range missiles of the "Silverwing Tempest Infantry Division" wouldn’t pose much of a threat, let alone a few flying creatures.

Meanwhile, after some combat units were stowed into the Ventral Sacs, the Overlord army began its advance.

Back when he played games, Tang Fang had always criticized their painfully slow speed. The reason for launching this airborne operation was his belief that the Overlord units, with their tough hides and high defense, could effectively withstand the enemy’s anti-air fire. Once close combat ensued, he had countless ways to cripple the base's defenses.

However, he had underestimated—no, severely underestimated—the Overlords’ capabilities.

At his command, three Overseers led the way, while the Overlords behind surged forward like a brown flood tide, leaving trails of cyan-blue light streaks in the night sky, rushing toward the enemy's front lines like a gale.

Looking at the rapidly retreating scenery outside the transparent membrane, Tang Fang couldn’t help but shiver.

HOLY MOTHER. The Overlords’ flight speed reached one-fifth of Mach! Was this really the same Overlord known for its sluggishness and slow flight?

He was stunned for a full half-minute before snapping out of it. Upon reflection, these creatures, known as Gargantis proximae, were cosmic beings. Their mission was to transport swarms across the universe at the behest of the Overmind or the Queen of Blades. With their limited psionic abilities unable to perform teleportation, how could they fulfill their mission if their flight speed was too slow?

After upgrading their "Pneumatized Carapace," they could use their weak psionic abilities to generate a special gas, functioning like a spaceship’s thrusters to apply recoil force, allowing them to continuously accelerate in a vacuum environment. Given enough distance, reaching light speed wouldn’t be an issue.

While he was lost in thought, the 3789th Division was caught off guard. No one expected these balloon-like behemoths to possess such speed.

"Hurry, hurry, lock on to the targets! All ‘Squid’ anti-air missiles, prepare to fire!" In the base’s fire control center, defense system commander Hodgson Carter bellowed.

As the operators tapped away, missile silos outside the base walls opened, and rows of six-barrel surface-to-air missile launchers raised their heads, swiftly adjusting their firing angles based on target signals from the fire control radar.

These "Squid" anti-air missiles featured multiple warheads, precise targeting, and powerful lethality. Their advanced multi-mode auto-tracking function allowed them to accurately locate targets and detonate upon approach, showering the area with lethal shrapnel. They were highly effective against aerial units like missiles and aircraft, far surpassing ordinary medium and small anti-air missiles.

On the central monitor, the enemy had already crossed the midline, rapidly advancing toward the rear of the second company’s defensive position in the reserve support battalion. A distance of 20 kilometers wasn’t particularly close or distant, but for these behemoths, it would take them at most five minutes to arrive.

"Are you ready?"

"Reporting, Captain, targets locked."

"Fire."

With a tap from the operator, the central monitor flickered, displaying a somewhat unclear image.

It was footage from the high-magnification cameras at the front line. Anti-air vehicles unleashed torrents of fiery red rain from their large-caliber cannons, while dozens of 80mm anti-air guns formed a dense web of firepower.

The flash of artillery momentarily outshone the stars in the sky, and even the meteor-like bombardment of space battleships paled in comparison.
