Soul Land IV (Douluo Dalu) : Ultimate Fighting

663 – Proto Dragon Tide

Lan Xuanyu somewhat understood why they didn’t discover too many Proto Dragons previously. It turned out that these Proto Dragons were actually forming an army before launching a ferocious attack on Dragon Source Planet’s base!

This might be similar to the Beast Tide that appeared when the soul beasts dominated.

“Sky Fighter calling the base, Sky Fighter calling the base.” Lan Xuanyu piloted the space fighter and flew back with all his might as he quickly contacted the radar center of Dragon Source Planet which had previously confirmed his identity.

“Sky Fighter, please speak.” The other side connected.

Lan Xuanyu said anxiously, “We found tens of thousands of Proto Dragons charging towards the base. Please be prepared. There are many of them and there is one over 100 meters tall. I think it is at least rank 8 or above.”

The other side was silent for a moment, then said, “We’ve already discovered it and started our emergency process. Please return to the base as soon as possible. By the way, we already knew that there was a large number of Proto Dragons gathered and they’ve been gathering for a long time. They hadn’t moved at all. It’s been a few months.”

Lan Xuanyu was stunned. Why did it sound like they were trying to say that they were the ones who lured the Proto Dragons over? This staff member didn’t seem very satisfied with them! But from his calm tone, he could tell that it shouldn’t be difficult for the base to deal with such an attack.

At this moment, an ear-piercing alarm resounded throughout the entire Federation’s Dragon Source Planet base. The notification from the base was immediately spread to the Sky Fighters outside.

Lan Xuanyu turned around and realized that the flying Proto Dragons behind them were getting further away from them. In terms of speed, these Proto Dragons obviously couldn’t compare to a soul fighter. Furthermore, their Sky Wing fighter had been carefully designed. If they spared no expense, they could even reach a speed of eight times the speed of sound. It was extremely fast.

“Let’s bring everyone back.” Lan Xuanyu immediately made a decision when he saw that the distance between them and the flying Proto Dragons had increased. The six Sky Wings turned around and dove straight down.

Through the communication device’s signal, they quickly saw their teammates rushing back.

“Qian Lei, Sky Wing. Everyone, get ready to board.”

Six dark purple Sky Wings swooped down and slowed down in an instant, hovering in front of his teammates. Qian Lei also released his own Sky Wing mecha and entered inside it, turning it into a Sky Wings fighter. The other 20 over people each had four to five people in one fighter as they climbed onto the Sky Wings. Some were on the wings while others were on the body.

“Everyone, sit tight,” Lan Xuanyu said once again. After getting confirmation from his teammates, the seven Sky Wing fighters slowly rose into the sky and accelerated towards the base.

A strange scene appeared in the sky. There were over 20 people hanging on the seven space fighters. With the protection of their One-Word Battle Armor, these youths from the Star War Experimental class grabbed onto the space fighters steadily.

This was something they had already rehearsed. As there were only these seven Sky Wings in the Star War Experimental class, Lan Xuanyu had thought of this idea in order to bring everyone to move quickly under special circumstances. He had even designed their fighters for this beforehand to ensure the balance of weight.

No matter how fast soul masters ran, how could they compare to a space fighter ? Ignoring the terrain, even if they were not at full speed, it was still much faster than running on the ground.

Very soon, Planet Proto Dragon’s base was within sight.

At this moment, they could clearly see that the protective barrier of the outer layer of the base had already been activated. Those gigantic soul cannons were slowly raised, and there were rows of mecha warriors standing on top of the fortress. They were ready for battle.

They saw the situation at the top of the city walls and were naturally seen by them as well.

When these Federation soldiers saw seven space fighters flying back with people, they were dumbstruck. What was going on?

After getting close to the protective barrier and confirming their identities, the barrier opened and allowed Lan Xuanyu and the rest to enter.

The space fighters flew past the city walls and slowly landed in the city. When it was about 10 meters from the ground, the youths from the Star War Experiment class leaped down one after another. The seven Sky Wing warships transformed back into seven mechas and landed firmly on the ground.

Lan Xuanyu and his team walked out of the mecha. Bing Tianliang walked forward and asked doubtfully, “Xuanyu, what’s going on?”

Lan Xuanyu said helplessly, “We stirred up a hornet’s nest and encountered tens of thousands of giant Proto Dragons. They discovered us and chased after us. They’re probably heading towards the base. If we didn’t run, we’d have died!”

“F*ck, so many? Isn’t that a lot of Dragon Source Crystals?” Qian Lei ran over excitedly and released the large meteor hammer from his soul storage device. He really wanted to try using this thing to smash some Proto Dragons.

Lan Xuanyu said in annoyance, “You have to be alive to get them!”

Just at this moment, a voice came from behind them, “You guys really did it. The Proto Dragons are actually very silly. They gathered together because they really wanted to attack the base. In fact, they would do this once every few months and never get tired of it. And from the moment they began to gather, they were already under the radar of the base and were closely monitored by us. But they didn’t know that and when they saw you guys, they thought that they were discovered, so they immediately launched their attack. So, it was you guys who lured them over.”

It was a purple mecha, only four meters tall and slender with two long blades on its back.

The voice was somewhat familiar. Lan Xuanyu focused his gaze and opened the chest of his mecha. Yan Ruoting, who had led the team from the spacecraft, got off the mecha and walked towards them.

As she walked, her gaze landed on Lan Xuanyu’s team’s mecha. She had already seen the space fighter transforming into a mecha. This was without a doubt the most advanced mecha.

Lan Xuanyu said helplessly, “I didn’t want this to happen either! Who knew that these Proto Dragons would be so foolish? What should we do now?”

Yan Ruoting said, “The military has the authority to mobilize all the living forces in the area during the war. I’m here to inform all of you that you have been conscripted by the military. You must cooperate with the military immediately.”

Lan Xuanyu said, “Then the Dragon Source Crystal that we kill should belong to us, right? To complete the mission?”

Yan Ruoting said, “Sure, but let me remind you that this sort of large-scale battle is not child’s play. For your own safety, you must be careful. No matter how good a Dragon Source Crystal is, it isn’t as important as your life.”

“Alright, I understand. Where are we going now?” Lan Xuanyu asked.

“Follow me.” Yan Ruoting turned around and got back into her mecha while Lan Xuanyu and the others stored away their mecha and Battle Armor.

It could be seen that Yan Ruoting was very unhappy with them for triggering the Proto Dragon Tide. The Sky Fighter Division was the Federation’s exclusive department, and the Sky Fighters brought trouble to the military. Although it was a coincidence, it was still brought about by the Sky Fighters. If not for the military being prepared, this could have been a huge problem.

Lan Xuanyu waved his hand and led his team to catch up with Yan Ruoting. They quickly climbed to a corner of the fortress.

At this moment, the Proto DragonTide had yet to arrive. Looking into the distance from the 100-meter tall fortress, one could see everything clearly.

They could see people returning from time to time. Some were piloting mechas, while others were piloting chariots. These were all people who had received the news from the base and had rushed back. Most of them were Sky Fighters, and there were also some military scouts.

Lan Xuanyu saw those familiar all-terrain vehicles and the Spirit Pagoda’s people returned.

Yan Ruoting stood beside them and didn’t speak to them anymore. The military didn’t send anyone over to contact them either.

It was obvious that they didn’t care about low-ranking Sky Fighters like them. Furthermore, they were the ones who had triggered the Proto Dragon Tide.
