Aziz calmly remarked:
"I'm not too concerned with this damn Bug. When the regular army arrives with the tanks and flamethrowers, we will have no problem advancing. The problem is the damn Galaxy is still with the Bug. If we can't find it, the Earth will be destroyed."
Sheyan naturally wasn't worried about that since he held the Galaxy in his hands. The others didn't know that. It was small wonder that they're concerned. However, Sheyan had no intention of divulging his secret. He contemplated for a bit and said:
"I'm guessing that the damn Arquillians are just bluffing. Besides, the MIB must have some ways of dealing with that. More importantly, we would never have obtained this information in the first place if we didn't have a close relationship with the MIB. If the planet is really destroyed, won't all the contractors die without even knowing the cause?"
Aziz nodded slightly. He sat down holding his rifle and stopped talking, maintaining his usual indifferent demeanor.
It didn't take long for the military's reinforcements to arrive. Several Apocalypse tanks went in spewing black smoke. The infantry followed after them with their uniform march. Whenever they saw a building, the Apaches would first launch a row of missiles through the windows, then open fire with the tanks.
All the buildings here were no higher than five stories so it wasn't too difficult to make them collapse. Finally, the infantry and the flamethrower-wielding soldiers would slowly crept forward. If anything happened, they could immediately move behind the tanks for cover.
Even though Jones had evolved and the combat strength of his underlings had also improved significantly, they faced the risk of being crushed by the powerful war machine of the humans. Seven or so soldiers were killed by a few cockroaches with mantis limbs who managed to survived, but it was an acceptable loss.
The battle tactic that the humans employed showed the determination of the MIB to win this battle. This farm was located in a remote area so they could swarm the place with helicopters, tanks and flamethrowers, but if Jones managed to escape today and started to breed at the city center, it would become a disaster that they could not conceal!
A light suddenly flashed, and before everyone had the time to react, a tank violently exploded. The explosives inside it caused a chain explosion which blew away the turret. Half the body of the tank driver flew more than 10 meters into the air. The explosions were intense!
The attack which caused the initial explosion was so fast that the shrill slashing sound was only heard after the tank had began exploding. The speed of the strike was much faster than the speed of sound!
Immediately after, the explosion of the tank covered up everything. Loud bangs followed one after another as violent flame raged. Shattered fragments were blown all over the place, forcing the people nearby to scramble madly to find cover. Shrapnels during an explosion were no joke. They could cut a person's head into two halves even with a steel helmet on!
Sheyan sniffed hard because he found that there was a strange fragrance among the smell of smoke and burning. Sheyan seemed to be familiar with this kind of smell. It was the like warm fragrance when sunlight shines upon a lush forest.
It was the smell of Elves!
Sheyan's heart sank. He instantly informed Aziz:
"There's a person among the enemies who inherited the Elves' powerful archery skills. Be careful."
Aziz's eyes shined with bloodthirst and excitement. He licked his lips and said:
"Just what I want! The name of another powerful person will be engraved on my gun barrel!"
While the two of them were talking, another tank in front mysteriously exploded. Sheyan sniffed with his eyes closed and found that the fresh fragrance in the air had gotten a bit thicker. In the face of such a strange situation, K immediately ordered the troops to stop advancing, then carefully playbacked a video recording of the battlefield. Only when he slowed the recording to 1/24 the normal speed did he discover a green light that was forcefully elongated.
He then slowed down the playback speed to 1/48 the normal speed. Only then could he clearly see that the light was actually a green arrow enshrouded in a black mist! A long arrow! After it stuck onto the tank, it melted into liquid and seeped inside. Then, the tank exploded!
"What the hell is this?" Z has already become very frustrated at this point. He only had a few cards he could play and he had almost exhausted all of them.
Another light flashed and an Apache fell from the air while dragging a trail of thick smoke behind it. In less than a minute, the powerful US Army had accumulated a loss exceeding tens of millions of dollars.
For Z, this amount of loss was still acceptable, but he must have something to show to the people above. More importantly, this place was in the suburb of New York City after all. Dispatching helicopters and tanks were already the limit. It's not like they could request to bombard the area with tactical ballistic missiles! The commotion it caused would be too big.
Suddenly, Sheyan felt a strong threat so he immediately dived to the side. A large tree to his left mysteriously shattered. What was even more strange was that when the branches of the large tree fell to the ground, they turned into elemental creatures in the shape of deformed dark Ents and some strange-looking dark type animals. Luckily, these creatures were very fragile and fell easily to flamethrowers.
Aziz suddenly emerged like a ghost. He had been lurking on the large tree. There was a deep wound on his cheekbone which had continued to fester, and at the edge of the wound, multiple blood vessels slithered like snakes. However, Aziz's eyes were shining with a ghastly light:
"I'll catch him next time! I've long heard of how powerful the Dark Elves are, and I've finally seen it for myself today. But he will still die by my hands!"
Sheyan stared at the bloodthirsty Aziz and suddenly understood the difference between him and Mogensha. Aziz had an insane lust for battle and an arrogant confidence when facing off against stronger enemies!
There was probably only one conviction in Aziz's heart, and that was, in his field, he was the best in the world! It was easy to die going into battle with such mentality, but if one didn't die and was able to develop, one would become really scary.
And that's how it was with Aziz. Aziz's growth process was probably no less miraculous than that of Sheyan. With his strong talent and rich combat experience in the real world, he could easily kill Growth Hunters as a normal contestant! There was a saying that good preparation is the key to success. Well, Aziz had been "preparing" since his childhood! Could such a battle madman be weak?
"Do you want me to help?" asked Sheyan as the two of them were allies at the moment - although it was only temporary. Aziz waved Sheyan off and impatiently said:
"You stay out of it!"
Aziz tone was rude but Sheyan wasn't offended. He merely smiled and said:
"According to my observation, the opposing side should be a combination of an archer and a javelin thrower. The javelin thrower was the one who destroyed the Apache. If you don't want me to help, you have to be careful."
Next, Sheyan threw a shining crystal bottle at Aziz. To Aziz, this thing had always been something that caused AoE stun effect + poisonous smoke. He caught it suspiciously and asked:
"What are you doing?"
Sheyan smiled and said:
"Just drink it."
Aziz's became unhappy and said fiercely:
"I don't like jokes."
Sheyan kept smiling:
"Me too, so drink it."
Aziz finally observed the object in his hand carefully. He immediately looked at Sheyan with mixed feelings and cursed:
"You're fucking insane! No wonder none of them could break through Zi's defence back then."
He lifted the bottle and gulped down the mix without another word.
Under the suppression of Aziz's attack, after a few minutes, a fierce explosion suddenly occurred in the opposite building. Aziz was also hit in the chest by a strange black javelin!
The black javelin pierced into Aziz's right chest and actually started to suck at his flesh and blood. It then turned into a fierce shadow wolf the size of a calf. The black fur all over its body stood erect, looking very ferocious! It had very explosive movement. Aziz looked quite pathetic under the violent assaults of its fangs. Luckily, he had the buff from Sheyan's mix so his life was not in danger.
Sheyan had already rushed upstairs to where Aziz was and finally stopped the fierce assault of the shadow wolf. The wolf was considered as an attack by a contestant so its damage was first weakened by 40%, then weakened by Sheyan's high defence, and then further reduced by 40 points. It was easily handled by Sheyan.
There was probably a limit to how long it could exist. After about two minutes, it fully exhausted the energy it absorbed from Aziz's flesh and blood and finally turned into a javelin. A black flame ignited on the javelin and burned it into ashes.
While Aziz and the opposite side suppressed each other's, K ordered the troops to launch a full-scale attack! There was only one reason for him to make such a decision, and that was the ultimatum by the Arquillians which hung over his head like an executioner's sword. He could not afford to delay any longer.
Without the interference from the two long range contestants, the troops advanced quickly!
