From a distance, looking toward the coastline.

One can see a straight line of crimson advancing horizontally.

The soldiers stationed on the spot have slain a great number of the Crimson Insect Race, but even more are landing from the North Sea!

Not only that.

As each Crimson Insect was killed, the ones behind began their counterattack.

Their chitinous shells suddenly turned bright red, and in the next second, flames spewed from their mouths.

These flames carried a terrifying heat, originating from Phoenix Blood, possessing the trait of incinerating everything.

When they fell on the thick war armor, a special material defense that couldn't be gnawed open by the Insect Race, it melted!

The melted flames didn't extinguish; instead, they dripped inside through the melted gaps.

The flames roasted the soldiers inside the armor alive!

Screams of agony echoed, and the warriors on Nuwa Continent began to decrease rapidly.

Yet even then, those consumed by flames continued wielding their Quantum Light Sabers, harvesting the life of one Crimson Insect after another, in their final moments before life burned out.

"They are about to be overrun."

Watching the defensive lines along the coastline being flattened and broken through, Han Zhan spoke.

"They are fighting to defend their homeland, fighting for themselves."

"They are heroes."

Han Zhan wanted to act, even if it meant playing a piece of "Dragon Soaring Technique" to give these warriors of Nuwa Continent some help.

But rationality told him, he couldn't.

General to general, soldier to soldier.

This is the battlefield, not a place for impulsive or emotional actions.

Although Dragon Soaring Technique could enhance them, or Clear Heart Powder could help them recover, it would consume a large amount of Han Zhan's Spiritual Power.

The opposing general has not yet appeared; he cannot act too soon.

"We still have a second line of defense," Shang Siteng said calmly beside Han Zhan.

As her words just fell, a dense fleet appeared in the sky above everyone.

That was the Nuwa Continent's Star Sea Fleet, the real power that could demonstrate Level 4 Civilization Level prowess.

The appearance of the Star Sea Fleet changed the battlefield dynamics once again.

They were equipped with complete Quantum Energy Weapons, and the defenses of the Insect Race were extremely fragile to them.

When these Star Sea Fleets maneuvered directly above the battlefield.

Quantum Energy Bombs that contained massive quantum energy were dropped; blue energy released instantly upon each bomb's detonation, forming a giant sphere encapsulating the battlefield.

Many Crimson Insects were obliterated instantly by the energy impact, their Phoenix Blood regeneration and chitinous shell defenses rendered ineffective.

This was the culmination of Shang Siteng's great efforts, representing the combat power of Level 4 Civilization, the Star Sea Battleship!

This was the True Starry Reaper of this battlefield!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The continuous bombing continued uninterrupted.

The sheer madness with which the Crimson Insects massacred the warriors of Nuwa Continent was now matched by the fragmentation of their bodies flying into pieces.

The air-to-ground advantage, at this moment, was brought into full play.

The scouring of firepower dramatically reduced the number of Crimson Insects, slowing their entire landing offensive.

"Something's wrong." Han Zhan sensed something amiss as he watched the battlefield reversal.

As someone with extensive experience dealing with the Insect Race, Han Zhan was not to be ignored. Shang Siteng immediately asked, "What's wrong?"

"The number of Insects. Judging by now, there are far too few!"

Indeed, too few.

Every Insect Tide Han Zhan had seen numbered in the billions, like a tide.

For the Crimson Insects to choose to cross the North Sea, their numbers couldn't be low.

But now, those appearing on the frontline battlefield were visibly diminishing.

With Han Zhan's intuition, they must be preparing some big move.

"Star Sea Battleships, stop advancing, maintain formation, retreat in an orderly manner!" Hearing Han Zhan's words, Shang Siteng immediately halted the Star Sea Battleships still harvesting the Insect Race from the skies.

But it was already too late.

Buzz, buzz, buzz!

Everyone heard a droning buzz like the beating of wings.

Looking up, they saw the sky on the other side burning red!

One by one, fierce and ferocious Crimson Insects, unbeknownst to anyone, had evolved Bone Wings on their backs.

With three-meter-long Bone Wings, they now had the ability to fly in the sky.

Evolution.

Evolution again!

The hidden Crimson Queen waited until the human Star Sea Battleships had mobilized in full force before choosing this moment to enter the battlefield.

Truly perfectly timed.

These Crimson Insects, post a second evolution with flight capabilities, pushed their Phoenix Flames to the extreme, like small burning meteors, crashing onto the Energy Shield of the Star Sea Battleships.

The Energy Protection Shield could not withstand the flames that could incinerate everything.

More and more Crimson Insects burned through the shields, poured in, and dived into the bridge of the Star Sea Battleships.

Into the arsenal, energy center, rest room, command center...

Every corner of the Star Sea Battleships was rammed into explosive flames by the continually incoming Crimson Insects, burnt to ash, with flames continuing to grow and spread with the wind.

The Star Sea Battleships, which were relied on to suppress the ground insect sea, couldn't even retreat amidst such large-scale suicide impacts, and were turned into swiss cheese.

Fireworks bloomed continuously in the sky as fragments from explosions flew everywhere.

Heavy losses!

Inside the ground buildings, Shang Siteng's expression was somewhat grave.

In her original plan, the Star Sea Battleships, as the second line of defense, should have at least devoured most of the ground insect sea. However, they clearly hadn't met the objective.

Using the description of a chess player, they were currently in the exchange phase.

Whoever had more pieces would ultimately gain victory.

"Let Feng Pingcheng and the others prepare to deploy."

"The advantage in the sky cannot be lost; otherwise, after they suppress the ground, our chances of victory will be even lower."

After Han Zhan contemplated, he finally spoke.

Feng Pingcheng, who was waiting in the Wind Tunnel Testing Institute, immediately received the orders through his communicator.

"Are you all sure you want to come with me?" He took a deep breath, then looked at the group of Fengbai Village People behind him.

There were men here, women too, and even several children.

Nearly all the Fengbai Village People were present.

Feng Pingcheng's gaze lingered slightly on Feng Linluan and Feng Ya.

"Village Chief, what are you saying?"

"We're already here."

"No more talking, let's get started!"

Feng Pingcheng nodded calmly upon hearing this.

"Then from now on, everyone, board the Wind Kite Starship!"

"Show those insect bastards what the true Starry Reaper is!"
