Chapter 139 Rescue

The warplanes streaked across the sky, and Li Tianran and Bai Jingyan were less than fifty kilometers away from their target!

Everyone was ready for battle.

The satellite map displayed the entire layout of the raiders' base city. This inland city was located very close to the center of the Asian continent, and had fortunately avoided the invasion of large-scale beast tides.

After being developed by the "Heavenly Kingdom," the city also possessed a large amount of armed forces, with nearly fifty anti-aircraft and ground cannons, a tank battalion, an armed helicopter squadron, and over a hundred evolved soldiers. In short, this raider team of three thousand people had a military strength equivalent to a strengthened regiment of a regular army.

However, Li Tianran did not take this bandit army in the raiders' base seriously. Compared with the Allied Forces of the Alliance, this raider team was not even in the same league. The only thing that made Li Tianran a little wary was the Heavenly Kingdom's lair.

At this time, Lu Xiao's team had not yet arrived at the designated location, which meant that if a war broke out, Li Tianran would easily be besieged from both sides.

"Lu Xiao, Lu Xiao! Answer me, how long will it take you to reach the designated location?" Lu Chi used a satellite phone to contact Lu Xiao. Fifty kilometers was too close for warplanes. They could bomb the target location in as little as a minute.

"We encountered an attack on the road. It was launched by a beast nest composed of Beast Kings and humans. They used warplanes and radar to interfere with us... We have annihilated them! But it will take at least two more hours to reach the designated location!"

Hearing the other party's reply, Li Tianran decisively said, "Don't wait for them, let's make a quick decision!"

Nan Nan was trapped in the hands of bandits. Every extra second she stayed there increased the possibility of death by one second. Moreover, based on the distance from the Heavenly Kingdom's lair to here, as long as the battle could be resolved within thirty minutes, all the enemy reinforcements would see upon arrival would be a pile of ruins!

With Li Tianran's order, a large number of warplanes began to dive, sprinting at speeds exceeding Mach 2.

The city, which could only be seen on satellite maps, now clearly appeared in everyone's sight.

"Warning! Warning! Unidentified flying objects detected breaking in!"

The moment the warplanes appeared within the radar detection range of the raiders' base, a piercing alarm sounded throughout the city. A large number of anti-aircraft guns were raised and fired!

A large number of bandits appeared after hearing the alarm, driving tanks and chariots in preparation for battle.

"Take out those anti-aircraft guns!" Li Tianran roared in the intercom system, then directly opened the hatch and jumped. Under the terrifying blessing of a hundred times gravity, his body descended towards the earth at a speed faster than a cannonball, accompanied by a dazzling light.

When the light dissipated, hundreds of tank-level battle mechs and hundreds of adult-level mechs appeared in the city!

The moment these steel warriors landed, they instantly rushed into the bandit crowd in front of them, and their huge broadswords easily cut open the steel-cast vehicle bodies!

This scene was extremely visually impactful!

Boom boom boom!

Warplanes dove in the sky, frantically strafing and bombing the positions of the anti-aircraft artillery. Facts proved that when dealing with heavy weapons such as tanks and chariots on the ground, warplanes with a flight speed exceeding Mach 2 had a natural advantage.

Even Li Tianran's tank regiment had been torn to pieces by the old warplanes of the small allied countries not long ago, not to mention these Hurricane-class warplanes with even better performance.

Soon, tanks were blasted to pieces, and more than a dozen anti-aircraft gun emplacements were also destroyed, and the firepower from the ground was greatly reduced.

Armed helicopters carrying Wasteland Pioneer warriors began to descend, air-dropping them into the center of the battlefield.

Thump!

Thump!

As one Wasteland Pioneer warrior after another landed on the ground, a large number of battle knives were raised, and the battle officially entered a fever pitch!

"Counterattack! Counterattack!" Among the bandits, someone was shouting angrily.

But the next second, Bai Jingyan chopped off his arms.

With bloodshot eyes, Bai Jingyan held a steel knife in one hand and grabbed the bandit's hair with the other, roaring, "Where are the people from Stormwind Island that you attacked today being held?"

The bandit screamed. He was just an ordinary person. The pain of losing his arms made him unable to think and unable to answer Bai Jingyan's question.

Seeing this, Bai Jingyan cut off the other's neck with a knife, and then turned and ran in another direction.

Tread tread tread!

A group of tall, burly men ran out, and their data quickly appeared in Li Tianran's data vision.

"This is a group of evolved ones, and one of them is named... Miguel!" Li Tianran quickly recalled that in the information he had seen, this Miguel was one of the bandits who attacked Stormwind Island!

"Boom!"

Amidst the roar of artillery fire, Miguel tore apart two adult-level mechs with his bare hands. Just as he turned his head to fight the Wasteland Pioneers, he suddenly felt a heavy pressure on his body, as if his bones and flesh had suddenly become hundreds of times heavier!

Gudong!

Such a huge difference caused him to lose precise control of his body, and he instantly knelt on one knee. Just as he was about to grit his teeth and stand up again, a steel knife pierced through his back, directly pinning him to the ground!

"Where are the prisoners you brought back?" Li Tianran stepped on his head and roared.

"We have a lot of prisoners..." Miguel replied, gritting his teeth in humiliation. He found that even his evolved body was so easily suppressed, which could only mean that the other party was a monster more powerful than him. In the face of life and death, he cooperated very well: "I don't know who you're talking about!"

"Stop playing dumb! The people from Stormwind Island!" Lu Chi stood next to Li Tianran and stomped on Miguel's wrist.

The intense pain made Miguel scream. He trembled and said, "The people who were captured from Stormwind Island, they..."

……

The roar of artillery fire gradually subsided, and all the air defense forces of this base city were destroyed. The remains of a large number of tanks and chariots littered the ground.

On the ground, the corpses of bandits were piled up into mountains.

With the strong addition of the Wasteland Pioneer Legion, the entire battle almost presented a crushing trend. In just less than twenty-five minutes, the military power of the entire city had been completely destroyed, and even the evolved soldiers were beheaded!

More than 2,300 of the 3,000 bandits were killed in eight minutes!

The rest had completely lost the courage to resist and were driven to drop their weapons, squatting in the ruins, waiting for the judgment of fate.

"Our speed is very fast. We solved the battle in only twenty-four minutes, and the enemy's lair reinforcements can't reach us at all!" Bai Jingyan glanced at the time and said excitedly, "Now we just need to interrogate them about Nan Nan's location, and the entire operation will be completed!"

Li Tianran and Lu Chi's faces were a little ugly. Listening to Bai Jingyan's words, they were silent. At their feet, Miguel had been beheaded.

Bai Jingyan's heart skipped a beat. He saw some ominous omens on their faces.

"What... what's wrong?" Bai Jingyan tried to make his voice sound calmer, "Did something, some accident happen?"

Li Tianran took a deep breath, looked at Bai Jingyan, and said seriously, "I interrogated this guy just now. He said... more than an hour ago, Nan Nan and the people from Stormwind Island were transferred after their checkups and sent to the Heavenly Kingdom's lair!"

The expression on Bai Jingyan's face froze.

At this moment, he was struck by lightning!

Nan Nan wasn't here?

Then this attack... wasn't it just stirring up a hornet's nest?

He couldn't imagine what cruel things the furious leader of the Heavenly Kingdom would do to Nan Nan and the others after the news of the raiders' attack reached the Heavenly Kingdom's lair!

"These prisoners..." At this moment, a Wasteland Pioneer warrior came over and asked softly how Li Tianran should deal with this group of bandits.

"Kill them! Kill them all!" Bai Jingyan's eyebrows twitched wildly, and he suddenly became furious: "Don't leave a single one alive!"
