"Command room, Charge 2, safe."

"Command room, Charge 4, safe."

"Command room, Chasing Wave 1, safe."

…

The remaining five fighter jets reported to the command room.

Presently, the monsters below had turned around and were facing the coast.

The seawater boiled again, and the energy particles gathered together once more.

The monsters gathered their energy again. Their target was the city near the coast.

In the command room, the atmosphere was especially tense.

The senior officer immediately radioed, "Charge, Chasing Wave, how many missiles do you have left?"

"Three!"

"Five!"

"Two!"

…

After the first round of bombing, there were not many missiles left on these fighter jets.

In the command room.

"How long before backup from the capital arrives?" someone asked.

"About five minutes?"

"Five minutes…"

The situation was tense. Five minutes was a long time.

In the anxious atmosphere, the officers in the command room steeled their hearts and made a difficult decision.

"Charge, Chasing Wave, are you prepared to die?"

"…Sir, please give the order."

After a brief moment of silence, the fighter aircrafts stated their stand.

There was no need for them to sob or complain. It was their destiny and honor to soar through the sky like a burning bird—so long as their souls could return home.

"Sir, take good care of our family. Also, tell my fiancée not to wait anymore. Let me be irresponsible for once…"

For a time, the atmosphere in the command room was weighty. Everyone's breathing sounded hurried.

Finally, they issued a decisive order.

"Chasing Wave, Charge, dive!"

"Land combat department, maximum firepower output, disrupt the monster's energy absorption."

He gave the order, and the night sky was lit by the flames once more.

The remaining five fighter jets descended rapidly from the sky, fearlessly charging towards the monsters.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Missiles exploded on the monsters' bodies.

Without the sea water's shield, the tough scales on the monsters' bodies instantly exploded.

They roared and waved their sharp claws in an attempt to destroy the fighter aircrafts.

The pilots dodged the monsters' claws with ease before launching another attack.

After a series of explosions, the monsters were covered in wounds, and they snarled.

At that moment, the energy condensed on the monsters' bodies moved towards their wounds.

Energy covered the wounds.

In the blink of an eye, the wounds on the monsters' bodies recovered, and new scales emerged.

The damage they had taken from before was instantly reduced to zero.

With a tough body, boundless destructive power, and almost immortal recovery ability, these monsters could end humanity.

If these monsters were allowed to enter the coastline, there would be a huge looming shadow over human civilization.

By then, the five fighter aircrafts had used up all the ammunition. The armored vehicles on the coast were reloading.

The monsters could gather sufficient energy while they weren't being targeted.

Inside the fighter jets, the pilots had determined gazes. Finally, they took off their masks and roared as they drove the fighter jets towards the monsters.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The flames sparking from the explosions were the warmth of their lives.

They did it.

The monsters, whose energy accumulation was interrupted, were furious and roared at the sky.

By this time, the ammunition on the coast had been reloaded.

"Fire!" In the command room, the senior officers banged on the table and shouted.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

At the edge of the coast, the fiery attack struck the monsters again.

They were not as destructive as missiles, but they could disrupt the monsters' absorption of energy.

Under the suppression of the firepower, the monsters stopped the absorption and dived into the sea, swimming toward the coast.

Without a fighter jet, it was as if the monsters in the sea had entered no man's land. They swiftly approached the coast, coming closer and closer.

They came to the shallow water area, where the seawater could not hold their huge bodies.

The monsters stood up and strode towards the coast.

The cannonballs came striking towards them again, but it only slowed their advances slightly.

The monsters got closer and closer. The land soldiers on the shore gritted their teeth and did not retreat.

Soon, the monsters were less than 500 meters away from the coast.

The atmosphere of despair gradually enveloped the entire beach.

Their ammunition was also depleted.

Time ticked by.

The monsters were now less than a hundred meters from the coast.

At this moment, the sound of enormous engines came from behind them. Six massive figures suddenly appeared at the edge of the horizon.

They were fighter jets from the capital.

"Eastern Sea Combat Department, this is Phantom 1."

"Eastern Sea Combat Department, this is Phantom 2."

"Eastern Sea Combat Department, this is Phantom 3."

…

In the command room.

When the officers saw the huge fighter jets on the screen, their low spirits were instantly lifted, and hope was reignited in their eyes.

"Eastern Sea Combat Department, sorry to have kept you waiting.

"From now on, the battlefield will be left to the Phantom team."

Under the night sky.

Six Phantom aircrafts formed three rows and hovered above the monsters.

A large machine cannon extended out from the bottom of the aircrafts.

"Phantom 1, super laser cannon ready…"

"Phantom 2, super laser cannon ready…"

"Phantom 3, super laser cannon ready…"

Dazzling white balls of light condensed at the muzzle of these cannons.

The brightness of the ball of light was beyond imagination. The ball of light illuminated the sky within a radius of five kilometers from the cannons like it was daytime.

Looking at the ball of light with the naked eye could blind someone. Their retinas would burn.

"Countdown…"

The balls of light at the mouth of the cannons began to gather energy, and its brightness increased.

"Three, two, one."

The countdown ended. Laser beams shot out from the muzzles of the cannons. The air shook.

This laser beam could cut through anything with heat. It could be said to be the bane of life.

There were a total of six laser beams. Two of them formed a pair and crossed into an X shape, each landing on one of the three monsters.

Rip!

There was a sound similar to a piece of paper being torn apart.

The X-shaped laser beam pierced through the bodies of the two level-one monsters.

The bodies of the two monsters stiffened. Parts of their muscles were constantly squirming. This was a sign that their bodies were about to collapse.

Immediately after, their bodies tore into pieces and landed noisily, creating huge splashes. A stench filled the coastline.

On the other hand, the level-two monster could not be killed by laser beams, but there were already fatal wounds on its body.

The level-two monster roared in pain as it laid in the sea. It needed seawater to cool its wounds.

What accompanied pain was endless fury. It had completely gone mad.

The seawater instantly evaporated on its skin, and countless energy particles surged into its body.

In the blink of an eye, its wounds were healed.

The level-two monster stood up, a dazzling energy ball in its mouth.

When they saw this, the warriors inside the Phantom jets immediately shouted to each other, "Activate the Electromagnetic Defense Net."

The six Phantom pilots cooperated well. A spiderweb-shaped electric arc shot out from the head of each aircraft. Then, they connected together to form a huge golden web.

Boom!

In the next second, the energy wave came striking.

Bang!

In a flash, the energy wave hit the electromagnetic net, and the surface of the net undulated up and down like waves. The surrounding air distorted and trembled. The electromagnetic net was about to collapse, but it ultimately managed to block the attack.

Seeing this, the level-two monster's pupils suddenly dilated. With its intelligence, it probably could not understand the current situation.

After the Phantom jets squad blocked these attacks, they once again launched their super laser cannons.

Now, the six fighter planes were attacking together. Their power was several times stronger than the first time.

The level-two monster was no fool. After experiencing the damage caused by the super laser cannon, it did not dare to be careless.

As the laser cannons were condensing their energy, the level-two monster cast a meaningful glance in the direction of the Eastern Sea Military Command. Then, it rushed into the deep sea and escaped.
