Inside the command room of the headquarters on the island of Xiamen…
Some high-ranking military and senior government officials were watching the soldiers and some guest Hunters parachuting towards Penghu were shown through the drone cameras and some of the military personnel.
They all had solemn looks because the first step of the invasion was very important.
If they manage to reach Penghu safely, they can begin the mission operation to recover the island before heading to the island of Taiwan, which is currently partially flooded and covered by extremely dangerous sea creatures.
But their focus was not on the soldiers, but on someone else, Liu Yang.
After recent events such as being called by one of China's seers, Qiu Liuxian, and Bai Huang personally came to his house. Then some guilds, the government, and the China Hunters Association would also show interest.
The seer could only see fragments of the future and Bai Huang could see things that no other person could. The combination of the two was something that would attract anyone's attention.
Thus, Liu Yang has become the focus not only of his country but also of others who know some inside information about recent events around him.
…
Back to the jump…
"Are you ready?!!!" The captain shouted, looking down and seeing a large island below them.
"ROGER!!!!!!!" Everyone screams at the same time.
"JUMP!!!!!!!!" He yelled without needing to count.
"WHOAAAA!!!!!!" The others follow and jump together.
About two thousand Hunters jumped out of several nearby cargo planes.
The fall speed increased with every second and the image of the island was rapidly approaching.
The creatures, which once looked like just moving dots, can now be seen roaming the island. The size slowly increased until their actual sizes could be partially seen.
Crocodiles, crabs, oysters, salamanders, and many other types of sea creatures and giant reptiles roam the island.
Each of them was the size of a bus, the biggest ones were like a house. But most importantly, each one had special characteristics that don't exist if they were normal animals.
Horns, steel scales, poisonous tails, and many other strange and magical features.
At the height of one thousand meters, the parachutes were opened so that each squadron could land on a part of the island. They would try to encircle the island on all sides before cleaning up.
Liu Yang was behind his friends and would be one of the last to fall to the ground.
At the height of two hundred meters, something happened.
BOOOOOOOOOM!!!! BOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!! BOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!
A series of explosions took place on various sides, but no one was hurt because of a protective barrier everyone had.
This spell was used in advance for such a situation.
Looking down it was possible to see some creatures with their mouths open and shooting energy lasers or energy balls toward soldiers and Hunters. These creatures had special abilities and were stronger than the common ones.
"Use the protective barriers!!!!" Leaders scream.
On the belt, there was a special button, when pressed a bubble covered their bodies like a protective barrier.
One hundred and fifty meters… One hundred and forty meters…
BOOOOM!!!! BOOOOM!!!!
The creatures continue their frantic attacks on the paratroopers to take some down before they can fall to the ground.
"ARRRRGGG!!!!!!!!"
Screams of pain echoed from various sides as barriers were broken and they were hit after successive attacks.
"Use the magic guns!!!!!" Another captain shouted.
Soldiers use cannons and rifles to attack, but instead of metal projectiles. What came out of the barrel were magical projectiles.
The appearance of the guns was similar to the normal ones made of steel or some other metal, but there were big differences in the design because of the magic crystals used as ammunition.
BOOOOM!!! BOOOOM!!! BOOOOM!!!
The projectiles hit the attacks of the creatures in the air and large explosions ensue.
Fifty meters… Forty meters… Thirty meters…
"NOW!!!!!!" All captains scream at the same time before pushing a button on their belt.
The parachutes are released from their backs and they fall at great speed in the last thirty meters.
"AHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Swords and armor are equipped to attack creatures during their fall.
Skills and spells explode in various locations.
Soldiers and Hunters follow their leaders and do the same.
BOOOOOM!!!! BOOOOOM!!!!
The creatures attack and charge toward those who were falling with their mouths open ready to devour them.
Glows like a light show illuminating all the outside areas around Penghu, it was magic to deal with the creatures and make the landing smoother.
"CHARGE!!!!"
SLASH!!!! SLASH!!! SLASH!!!!
The first squads that landed on the island followed their leaders to cut down the closest creatures.
The next soldiers and Hunters to fall support using ranged attacks, melee attacks, support and healing spells.
The last ones to reach the ground take care of the rear to avoid ambushes from behind.
A bloody battle began.
