In the midst of cherry blossoms dancing in the wind, Misaki opened the old diary and read the words of promise written there.

"Is there actually a primitive intelligent civilization on the surface of Dinas?" Qin Huang was somewhat surprised, but he didn't find it particularly strange. These primitive intelligent species lived in the mountainous world, and humans were undoubtedly invaders to them. However, in the vast star sea, all wars were essentially fought for survival space and resources, and this was true for any intelligent species. As the human reinforcements suddenly appeared, the four-armed apes riding on beasts let out a series of high-pitched and powerful cries. The short, sharp sounds of bone horns followed, urging the fierce beasts to intensify their attacks. At the same time, long, heavy spear-like weapons, over two meters in length and as thick as an adult's arm, with a bright white glow, suddenly appeared from the dense group of beasts below. They flew rapidly through the air, piercing towards the mecha squad in the sky.
"Quick, dodge!" Qin Huang suddenly felt a sense of impending danger and immediately shouted. The unknown material of the spears gave him a very dangerous feeling, even a sense of being locked onto by the main gun of a medium-sized warship! If his mecha were to be hit, the consequences would likely be very dire!
Hearing his warning, the students instinctively obeyed, dispersing in the air. Some even activated their energy shields to the maximum. After the first round of spear attacks, only about a dozen mechas were hit. The energy shields, under the powerful impact of the strange spears, offered no protection and shattered like soap bubbles! The spears, still carrying momentum, collided with the mecha bodies, leaving clear dents. The two most unfortunate mechas were even penetrated through the cockpits, with blood gushing out and staining the cabins, leaving the students inside with little chance of survival!
"What the hell is this? The destructive power is so insane!" Qin Huang's scalp tingled. He had seen that the spears were launched by a jellyfish-like, indigo-blue monster on the ground. The indigo-blue, jellyfish-like beasts had several white horns on their heads and seemed to store a large amount of highly compressed gas inside their bodies. Upon receiving the command from the four-armed apes, their bloated bodies slowly inflated, and when they reached their limit, they suddenly deflated, launching a white horn that whistled through the air, transforming into a spear and rapidly shooting towards the target in the sky!
"Everyone be careful, those spears carry a strange energy that can dissolve and break down the mecha's defenses!" Muriya warned with a serious expression. "All team members move towards the city and simultaneously launch indiscriminate attacks on the beast group below, focusing on the damned four-armed apes! They are the most dangerous!"
As she spoke, a barrage of missiles, laser beams, and high-energy particle beams rained down, instantly causing continuous explosions! The fiery clouds that burst one after another almost engulfed half of the beast group, and the violent shock waves distorted the energy shield of the nearby city!
Facing their first real combat, the students were both excited and terrified, and it was hard for them to conserve energy and ammunition. They naturally indulged in excessive use! The attack was undoubtedly very effective, and by the time the shock waves dissipated, nearly a third of the beasts had lost their lives, and many more were injured! Only the strange four-armed apes, due to the protection of the numerous beasts, suffered few casualties. Qin Huang also noticed that the beasts ridden by the four-armed apes were mostly of the third tier or higher, capable of generating protective force fields, though crude and primitive. However, with multiple such beasts working together, they could even withstand the concentrated fire of many human mechas, effectively protecting the four-armed apes.
"Hmph! I want to see what other tricks you have!" Qin Huang, while maneuvering his mecha to move with the group, locked his laser gun on a four-armed ape riding a beast. With a slight tremor, a blue light flashed from the gun, firing at full power, instantly creating a bowl-sized blood hole in the chest of the target! The alien lifted its head to look up, its eyes gradually becoming dull and lifeless, and its sturdy body collapsed weakly.
This attack immediately caught the attention of its fellow apes, and with continuous roars, dozens of bone-white spears with terrifying destructive power rained down towards him, forcing Qin Huang to quickly maneuver his mecha to avoid them. After all, even a first-star bronze gargoyle, no matter how powerful, couldn't withstand such a terrifying concentrated attack!
A few seconds later, the mecha squad had approached the city within the energy shield. "Alright, everyone, go down! Injured team members, go inside to rest and regroup. The rest, follow my instructions and remember not to waste energy and ammunition. This battle is far from over!" Muriya said over the communication channel. As the female instructor's Blood Wing Dragon mecha landed smoothly, Qin Huang and the others also landed their mechas. The number of defenders in the small city was already few, and seeing the arrival of these fresh forces, their previously depressed and gloomy hearts brightened up.
"Thank goodness you're here!" A federal lieutenant colonel greeted them.
Muriya had a brief conversation with him and then said, "Everyone, do your jobs. You all lack combat experience, so don't take the initiative to attack. Stay here and assist the defenders in repelling the beast tide. Just ensure the defense line is stable. Anyone who acts on their own will face military law!"
"Yes, Instructor!" Everyone responded in unison. A real battlefield is not a child's play; danger is everywhere, and a moment's carelessness can mean death. No one can afford to act recklessly at such a critical moment! Having experienced the battle against hundreds of blood-maned spotted lions, Qin Huang had more combat experience than the other students and understood the weight of Muriya's warning.
The city's energy shield was relatively stable, so the students gradually calmed down. They watched the raging beast tide outside the defensive line with excitement. Everyone knew that performing well in this mission could earn them a chance to enter the Federal Central Military Academy, and the temptation of such a significant reward made some people unable to remain calm.
"Boss, do you have any plans?" Wu Neng, shifting his gaze from the defensive line, asked Qin Huang through a private communication channel.
Hearing Wu Neng's question, Qin Huang didn't immediately answer. After a few seconds of contemplation, he said, "Don't act rashly. Just stay close to me and see how the situation develops."
"Instructor, I noticed the number of beasts outside the defensive line is decreasing. We have several hundred mecha warriors here, and with our superior firepower, we should be able to launch an offensive and eliminate these beasts. Why do we have to stick to defense?" Xu Dezhi suddenly said over the public communication channel.
"Idiot!" Qin Huang couldn't help but curse him in his heart. If these beasts were so easy to deal with, the military wouldn't be in such a dire situation, even to the point of having to seek help from the military academy! Don't be fooled by the reduced scale of the beast tide; their current firepower might be enough to eliminate these beasts, but what happens afterward is unknown. This place is not the humans' home turf, and these beasts, which usually hide in unknown places, have been driven here by the strange four-armed apes. There will definitely be more, and even more powerful, beasts to come! Eliminating this batch doesn't mean the next will be as easy to handle!
"Xu Dezhi, don't think you're the only one with brains!" Muriya said coldly. "We are new here and don't understand the situation! Our mission is to hold the base, and we don't need to consider anything else; that's the regular army's job!" Xu Dezhi's voice faltered, but he still tried to argue, "Instructor, what I said is true. Our mecha warriors are much stronger than these beasts. We can use a quick and decisive method to resolve this battle quickly. The other beasts may not arrive in time to support them."
Muriya's voice carried a hint of menace, "Xu Dezhi, don't forget your identity. As a soldier, your first duty on the battlefield is to absolutely obey your superiors. You want to act alone? Fine, leave your mecha behind; it belongs to the Federation! Go out and fight the beasts on your own!"
Xu Dezhi's face turned pale, and he finally dared not say anything more! Without the mecha, going out to fight the beast tide alone? What a joke? That's something only a tenth-tier source energy cultivator would dare to attempt! The communication channel was filled with suppressed laughter, mocking his lack of understanding. In fact, Xu Dezhi might not have misunderstood the instructor's meaning. Their main purpose in coming to support was to stabilize the situation and buy time for the arrival of the main military forces! His insistence on attacking was driven by the desire to perform well and earn more credit, hoping to secure a place at the Central Military Academy in the future. Unfortunately, Instructor Muriya wouldn't indulge him; she had to ensure the safety of all the students. These were the seeds of the future Federal military and couldn't be carelessly lost in such a place!
At this moment, the beast tide outside launched a new, fierce assault! Muriya began to calmly assign combat positions and coordinate the fire coverage areas. With the cooperation of the original defenders' mecha squad, the combined efforts of hundreds of mechas finally managed to slightly ease the beast tide's assault.
"Boss, that was awesome! I've never felt so good shooting before." After a round of fire coverage, Wu De, who was never serious, said to Qin Huang through the private channel.
Qin Huang felt a genuine sense of helplessness and didn't bother to respond to this dim-witted guy. Despite being driven by "people," these beasts still possessed their own primitive intelligence. When the casualties reached a certain level, the beast tide reluctantly retreated, and no amount of shouting and scolding from the four-armed apes could change that!
