CHAPTER 372: CHAPTER 328: THE FIRST CONFRONTATION_1

"Master, I’m sorry!" Chui Chui sprouted a pair of rabbit ears atop his head, which promptly drooped. "I... I really didn’t notice..."

Yan Xing didn’t pursue Chui Chui’s oversight in scouting. Ironhead had operated in Heize City for so long that it wasn’t surprising he had some secret combat power hidden.

The most important thing now was to find a way to deal with this three-headed, six-armed Werewolf.

Watching the three-headed Werewolf destroy buildings blocking its path as it advanced towards the Eternal Domain’s positions, Yan Xing asked Chui Chui, "When can the Beak Eagle bombers arrive?"

After confirming the Beak Eagle bomber squadron’s location, Chui Chui replied, "Master, the Beak Eagle bombers will arrive in twenty minutes. The Armored Gryphons are escorting them. If they accelerate, they can arrive in about ten minutes."

Twenty minutes?

Yan Xing looked at the three-headed Werewolf on the video screen.

It’s about to break out of Heize City. Once it charges into the Eternal Domain’s positions, the Beak Eagle bombers won’t be able to drop bombs freely.

We must keep this creature inside Heize City and hold out until the bombers arrive.

"Let the Armored Gryphons continue protecting the bombers; we can handle this creature ourselves. Tell the artillery to concentrate all fire on that three-headed Werewolf. Inform Olaf, Steel Tooth, and Eddie to organize suicide squads with rocket launchers to get in close and fire."

Yan Xing looked up at the sky. Bathed in moonlight, the Griffons and Elven Pegasi took to the air, circling and assembling one after another.

Fully armed, his treasured steed Fei Ying arrived at Yan Xing’s side.

Yan Xing leaped onto Fei Ying’s back. Once his armor and the saddle were secured, he urged his steed into the air, galloping upwards.

At that moment, several artillery positions roared to life, launching shells toward the three-headed Werewolf, which was about to burst out of Heize City.

The explosions engulfed the three-headed Werewolf, but they only slowed its advance and provoked a deafening roar from the beast.

Yan Xing watched the three-headed Werewolf through the visual feed Chui Chui provided.

This creature can withstand artillery bombardment with its own defenses. It’s quite powerful.

Yan Xing spoke through the air force communication channel to all participating air combat personnel: "Attention all units! The Heize Werewolves have deployed their secret weapon. The target is a Werewolf with three heads and six arms, 5.31 meters tall. Its three heads can spew fire, corrosive toxic water, and powerful Wind Blades, respectively. Its crystalline hide offers extremely high defense.

Other intelligence... unknown.

Our mission is to pin down this three-headed Werewolf near the gates of Heize City until the bombers arrive.

The previous battles were too easy. Now, the real test for our Eternal Territory Air Force has come!

On my command—attack!"

Yan Xing, riding Fei Ying, charged toward the three-headed Werewolf near Heize City’s gates, with swarms of Griffons and Pegasi following close behind.

To prevent friendly fire, the artillery behind them ceased its bombardment.

The artillery crews pushed their cannons forward from their positions, preparing for direct fire at close range.

Three suicide squads, shouldering rocket launchers, charged towards Heize City under the cover of suppressive fire from the rear.

The decisive battle erupted ahead of schedule.

Instead of charging straight in, Yan Xing led the large flock of Griffons and Pegasi in a flanking maneuver. He then banked them along Heize City’s walls, intending to cut inward.

From the air, the utter chaos within Heize City was clearly visible.

The three-headed Werewolf used brute force to destroy any building obstructing its path, regardless of whether there were other Werewolves inside.

Moreover, the three-headed Werewolf’s mental state seemed highly unstable. It frequently stopped to roar at its surroundings before randomly unleashing its abilities.

It left a trail of destruction and fire, and countless Werewolves died instantly where they stood.

Additionally, Yan Xing spotted some faint, elusive figures around the three-headed Werewolf.

Jackalman Shamans!

The Jackalman Shaman is an extremely rare profession within the Werewolf Race. They are generally not found in small or medium-sized Werewolf Tribes, appearing only with a minuscule probability in large ones.

Each Jackalman Shaman was carefully protected, hidden in the deepest recesses of their tribe.

Despite spending so much time in Thunderous Swamp, Yan Xing had only ever heard rumors of Jackalman Shamans.

This was the first time he had actually seen them.

There were many of these Jackalman Shamans. Their movements were secretive, and they had formed a protective circle around the three-headed Werewolf.

Amidst the three-headed Werewolf’s indiscriminate attacks, these Shamans moved with ease, showing that these hidden members of the race also possessed considerable strength.

Yan Xing relayed his discovery to all air combat personnel via the communication channel, then took the lead and charged toward the three-headed Werewolf.

Just then, magic discs fired from the Disc Launchers arrived.

These magic discs hovered in the airspace where the Eternal Territory’s aerial combat units would pass. Upon sensing friendly personnel nearby, their built-in status magic would activate, bestowing buffs on them.

When used on the battlefield, such weapons could conserve the Magic Power of frontline heroes and promptly replenish the magical reserves of those engaged in combat.

This allowed frontline combatants to focus more of their energy on the battle itself.

Especially on a rapidly changing aerial battlefield, an auxiliary magic generator that could keep up with the fast pace of offense and defense had a tremendous impact on the overall situation.

The buffing process didn’t disrupt the rhythm of the Eternal Territory’s flying formation. Yan Xing led the aerial combat units through the area covered by the magic discs, then increased their banking angle and lowered their altitude, approaching the three-headed Werewolf from the side.

When the Jackalmen detected the aerial threat, they all vanished from sight. This left Yan Xing, who had intended to clear out these "minions" first, without a target to lock onto.
