Chapter 161: Summoning Armed Helicopters and Precision Airstrikes

"Leave it to me," Zhang Fan declared with a slight smile, ready to initiate the battle. However, he paused, noticing something amiss about the opposing knights. Were these truly members of the knightly order?

A band of fierce marauders charged towards Zhang Fan, their eyes ablaze with a terrifying zeal. It was clear from their demeanor that they were seasoned warriors, accustomed to the brink of life and death, their presence exuding an intense murderous aura. Where in the world did Leong Miuxi find such individuals?

"Men, charge!" commanded a mustachioed, cat-eared gentleman, leading a host of knights clad in dark armor towards Zhang Fan. As arrows rained down from the sky, Zhang Fan wondered if he inadvertently attracted enemy attention due to some taunting ability he possessed.

Yet, mere arrows posed no threat to Zhang Fan. With a swift strike of his "Luminous Moon Slash," the incoming volley was effortlessly shattered, the broken arrows falling harmlessly to the ground.

Despite breaking the arrow assault, the enemy's cavalry charged forth. At that moment, a massive surge of energy erupted from behind Zhang Fan, and a streak of golden light, like a tempest unleashed, swept through the enemies, turning several into harmless, adorable "beast balls."

Amusingly, despite their menacing appearances, these transformed foes bore a strikingly cute demeanor. "Yukikaze!" Zhang Fan turned to find Yukikaze providing support with her bow, a truly commendable ally. Yet, with their current forces, they could not halt the enemy's advance without expending significant energy on emblem techniques, which would be detrimental for subsequent battles. What to do?

Then, an idea struck Zhang Fan. Since defeating these foes wouldn't yield experience or energy points, why not utilize something from his store?

Accessing his game store, Zhang Fan chose to summon armed helicopters from the "Call of Duty" series, costing 500 game points each for a twelve-hour duration. Though pricey for a one-time use, these helicopters promised to significantly impact the battlefield.

Upon summoning four armed helicopters, their presence immediately drew attention across the battlefield. "Oh! The hero of Biscode has summoned four mysterious flying objects. Are these weapons from another world? We shall see their effect shortly!" the battlefield commentator announced, recognizing the helicopters as instruments of war.

As the commentator spoke, the helicopters unleashed a barrage of gunfire, mowing down the enemy ranks. The sight of soldiers turning into "beast balls" under the relentless assault was both horrifying and mesmerizing, showcasing the devastating effectiveness of modern weaponry.

"What's happening? This is astonishing! Is this truly the might of Biscode's hero?" the commentator stood in disbelief as Galatea's forces fell like wheat before the scythe. Yet, Zhang Fan was not done. He spent additional game points to summon precision airstrikes, targeting specific areas with three friendly fighter jets at 200 points each.

Though relatively inexpensive and limited in scope, these airstrikes created a vacuum in the battlefield, providing a crucial opportunity for an advance. "Second unit, follow me!" Zhang Fan commanded, leading the charge towards the enemy stronghold with the helicopters still providing cover, leaving both friend and foe in awe of this unprecedented display of power.

As the second unit prepared to storm the castle, the commentator continued, "And now, led by the hero, Biscode's second unit is poised to attack the castle, guarded by Galatea's elite equipment unit. Will they be able to breach this formidable defense?" The elite unit, known for its artillery and riflemen, posed a significant challenge, especially with the princess in their ranks.

"Everyone, change to protective formation and spread out! Princess, stay close to me!" Zhang Fan ordered as enemy fire approached. With the princess by his side, he felt an immense responsibility to ensure her safety.

With the battle's momentum shifting, Biscode's forces rallied, inspired by their hero's valiant efforts. As they prepared to face Galatea's elite, the outcome of this daring assault remained uncertain, but with Zhang Fan leading the way, hope burned brightly for Biscode's success.
