ard helicopters, in a full-force firing scenario, managed to kill over a hundred Fifth Order Skeleton Creatures in less than a minute.
That’s the power of heavy weaponry, simply incomparable to conventional arms—not even mortars and HE grenades can achieve this.
Of course, it wasn’t that the firepower of these two types of shells was weak, but rather their hit rates were too low, resulting in limited actual lethal effectiveness.
However, the air-to-air missiles on the ard helicopters could directly lock onto the enemy, with nearly maximum killing efficiency.
As for the autocannons, although they couldn’t lock onto targets, the Fifth Order Skeleton Creatures were just too big.
The smallest of them were at least a dozen ters high, and so even forty to fifty ters tall. For experienced gunners, missing them was hard.
However, those Fifth Order Skeleton Creatures wouldn’t just take hits without fighting back. After sustaining a fierce initial attack, they swiftly started to counterattack, rapidly closing in on the helicopters in the sky.
Everyone understood that in front of these Skeleton Creatures, the armor of ard helicopters was hardly different from paper mache—if they got too close, it would spell destruction for both the machine and its occupants.
Facing this situation, the ard helicopters could only retreat quickly while counterattacking.
But by this ti, the attacking strength of the ard helicopters had decreased significantly.
The primary reason was that helicopters carry a limited number of missiles; even though the suspension systems had been modified, in order not to affect maneuverability, each ard helicopter was only equipped with 8 anti-tank and 8 air-to-air missiles.
During that initial volley, a third of the air-to-air missiles had almost been completely expended.
If they continued to fire as before, they would run out of ammunition in two to three minutes, whereas now they had to hold out until the anti-air units or fighter squadrons arrived at the battlefield so they could land and reload.
But facing the Skeleton Creatures’ frenzied counterattack, even a few minutes were not so easy to withstand.
Fortunately, they weren’t fighting alone.
As the helicopters began to retreat, the soldiers below with rocket launchers started to target the Skeleton Creatures in the sky.
Five hundred rocket shells soared into the sky, but regrettably, the Skeleton Creatures were extrely agile, and only about one-tenth of the rockets hit their targets.
One round of bombing had a negligible effect.
However, the military had already prepared for this scenario, and soon, precise orders were conveyed to the machine gun squads in the positions below.
Each machine gun squad imdiately knew which Skeleton Creature they needed to target.
Quickly, several hundred heavy machine guns below adjusted their targets, concentrating fire on 20 of the Skeleton Creatures.
Although the heavy machine gun fire couldn’t deal fatal damage to them, the constant hits greatly suppressed their flight speed.
And at this mont, those soldiers with rocket launchers had reloaded, and more than 500 rocket shells ascended once again, hurtling towards those 20 Skeleton Creatures.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
This ti, almost 90% of the rocket shells hit their targets, and under such intense bombardnt, only two of the 20 targeted Skeleton Creatures with stronger defensive powers were barely alive.
But with their vitality severely diminished and even flying becoming problematic, they were no longer a threat to the ard helicopters.
This round of attack showcased the advantages of modern warfare to the fullest extent.
Seeing this, Ye Feng was also sowhat surprised; he did not expect that the military, relying on such weapons and equipnt, by taking advantage of centralized coordination, could wipe out nearly 20 Skeleton Creatures and swiftly stabilize the situation.
He had even been prepared to take action himself if the military couldn’t hold on.
Indeed, facing these enemies that were at least Fifth Order, Dragon Hall’s strength was not sufficient, which is why he planned to personally intervene from the beginning.
But now, it seed he could hold steady for a while longer.
Although the military’s combat power was beyond expectations, Ye Feng didn’t show much pleasure because it was clear that the Forbidden Zone hadn’t yet shown its true power.
It was at this mont that Ye Feng’s expression shifted slightly—as more than 500 Skeleton Creatures erged, Sixth Order Ferocious Beasts finally began to appear through the portal.
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly beca tense.
Because everyone was aware that the Sixth Order Beasts were the real main force.
Upon appearing, these Sixth Order Beasts did not imdiately rush out but gathered near the portal.
As more and more Sixth Order Ferocious Beasts ca out, soon there were hundreds congregating near the portal.
Only then, seemingly upon receiving so command, did all the beasts charge in a specific direction, joined by the previously transported Skeleton Creatures—both airborne and on the ground—quickly forming a tidal wave seemingly about to breach the military’s defenses with overwhelming force.
This way of fighting was different from before, yet this simple shift in strategy imdiately threw the military into disarray.
Because their forces were almost evenly distributed surrounding the entire Forbidden Zone.
