Now, this group of people are negotiating in an abandoned supermarket.
"The Earth's army hasn't attacked us for several days. I think they must be hesitating about something... If I'm not mistaken, they definitely want to destroy this city, and wipe us out, along with those prisoners of war!"
"Hmph! We can't give these idiots that opportunity. Right now, we have enough manpower to support us in launching a proactive war!"
"Then let's expand the battlefield! Let's advance into the surrounding cities!"
"Hehe, I long to enter a perfectly intact city, where I can commit murder, destruction, plunder, and, most importantly, have my way with the women there! Hahahaha!"

Chapter 576 Stepping onto the Battlefield!
***Chiba.
Chiba is an important industrial port city in southeastern Honshu and the capital of Chiba Prefecture. It is located on the northeastern coast of Tokyo Bay. It covers an area of 2,698 square kilometers and has a population of over one million.
Chiba is adjacent to Yokohama.
In Chiba City, panic reigns. Yokohama and Tokyo have already suffered, and Chiba, bordering both, is on the verge of collapse. The UN's heavy military presence is concentrated in Chiba and Kanagawa. While Chiba's electricity, internet, and telecommunications haven't been cut off, the people's hearts are breaking. This panic is global, so most Chiba residents want to leave and seek refuge elsewhere. However, the government, to prevent the panic from spreading, is only trying to reassure the citizens, telling them that the aliens don't yet have the power to launch an expansionist war. Chiba is safe; the aliens are trapped in Tokyo and Yokohama.
It's crucial to understand that once the citizens of Chiba begin their mass migration, citizens of other cities in Japan will follow suit, causing the entire social order of Japan to collapse. Therefore, we absolutely cannot allow the citizens of any city to descend into chaos! The military has already secured the transportation routes.
Currently, Chiba City is a gathering place for troops from ***, as well as joint forces from other Asian countries, including Vietnam, Cambodia, Arab countries, India, and Z country. The city's bunkers, machine gun turrets, tanks, armored vehicles, and airfields housing fighter jets offer the citizens a slight sense of security.
It was the early hours of the morning, and most citizens were still awake, standing on the streets, gazing towards Yokohama and Tokyo. The night wind was cold, and so were people's hearts.
Meanwhile, in Yokohama, over 400 Beast King Star warriors and 40 mages equipped with a large quantity of magic potions are preparing to break out of Yokohama and directly attack Chiba Castle!
"Listen, once we enter that city, we'll carry out targeted slaughter and looting, not a devastating massacre. We should choose urban warfare. Once we engage in guerrilla warfare with the humans in the city, their heavy weapons will be completely ineffective! Unless they destroy the city!" a high-ranking mage said coldly. He paused, then pulled an old, ancient animal-hide scroll from his robes.
"Hiss! It's a magic scroll! It's a high-level magic scroll!" many Beast King Star people exclaimed in surprise.
"Of course, as more and more of our people set foot on Earth in batches, the levels of our combat professionals will rise, and their equipment will improve," the mage chuckled. "We're just scouts in the early stages. A few months later, when our dragon knights and mages enter Earth, it will be the true end of the world! All Earthlings will become our slaves! All Earth women will become the objects of our lust!" He paused, then continued, "Alright, now, I'll cast invisibility spells on you. And this magic scroll of mine can release a phantom image. While this phantom image has no real offensive power, it's enough to scare the Earthlings to death, ensuring we break through the defenses and enter that city!"
After speaking, the higher-level mage began chanting incantations, casting halos of light upon the warriors and other mages.
Invisibility!
In fact, this is a dark magic spell, more accurately called 'Netherworld Invisibility Spell'. The target of the spell will be completely hidden in a black mist. Of course, this kind of magic is rather useless during the day.
Gradually, the outlines of the more than 400 Beast King aliens were all hidden in a cloud of black mist, making them less noticeable in the darkness.
After the mage finished his spell, his magic power was greatly depleted. He drank five bottles of magic potions to recover. He cast an invisibility spell on himself, and then, like ghosts, the group headed towards the garrison on the edge of the city.
The outskirts of Yokohama Castle.
Here, tens of thousands of troops are on high alert, with machine gun turrets, bunkers, trenches, tanks, armored vehicles, multi-purpose infantry vehicles, missile vehicles... It's so formidable that not even a fly could get out.
The soldiers here are from multiple countries. Searchlights illuminated the area as if it were daytime. Several helicopters patrolled the sky.
Now, every soldier dares not close their eyes; they are all focused on defense, fearing that the aliens might break through.
The night was deathly still.
At that moment, a machine gunner rubbed his eyes and noticed some dark shadows in the area he was monitoring!
He suspected he was hallucinating, so he rubbed his eyes until they hurt. Then he looked again and saw many dark figures flashing towards him at an extremely fast speed!
"Oh my god! It's...it's aliens!" the machine gunner screamed.
The soldiers around them tensed up immediately and looked over! Sure enough, they all saw a dense mass of dark shadows rapidly approaching!
In fact, the shadowy figure was already very close to the position, which is why it was discovered!
Suddenly, just as the Earth soldiers were about to take defensive measures, more than a dozen high-temperature fireballs exploded towards them at a speed faster than bullets! A large number of Earth soldiers were instantly incinerated into ashes!
At the same time, hail, tornadoes, and lightning all rained down on the Earth army in front of them!
Countless soldiers perished instantly!
"Stop them! They're trying to break through from here! Block them!" A young military officer frantically issued orders to his men, while simultaneously firing his machine gun at the dark figures in the distance!
Earth soldiers from all directions continued to fire their weapons and throw grenades.
In an instant, the night sky was filled with flames and explosions!
However, the group of shadowy figures quickly rushed into the Earth's defensive ranks, and only a few of them scattered, revealing the corpses of the Beast King aliens who had been killed. In other words, the burst of fire from the Earthlings had only pierced through the magical shields of a few Beast King aliens and killed them.
However, the vast majority of the Beast King Star people had already charged over!
The melee begins!
The shadowy figures appeared to have no physical form, so the Earth's army could only fire indiscriminately. However, magical attacks, as well as flashes of sword and blade light, would erupt from within them. Hundreds of shadowy figures were like a branding iron for cheese, indestructible and unstoppable!
Of course, Earth's reinforcements also rushed to the scene, using their own bodies to stop the aliens from breaking through. Soon, hundreds of dark figures were surrounded, one after another. However, the Earth army's casualties were incredibly fast! Often, a single area-of-effect spell could wipe out dozens or even hundreds of Earth soldiers!
Alright, in this life-or-death situation, Earth's soldiers are filled with courage and fearlessness in the face of death; if one dies, another quickly takes his place...
At this very moment...
Suddenly, a hidden yet immense energy aura erupted from the shadows!
As a result, the nearby Earth soldiers instantly felt a suffocating sensation, as if their hearts were clenching!
Surprisingly!
In the void, a colossal creature appeared out of nowhere!
Standing ten meters tall, it resembled a Tyrannosaurus Rex from the Jurassic era! Its entire body radiated a cold metallic luster, its wrinkles and grooves were quite frightening, and its eyes were scarlet and savage. This level of terror had surpassed the comprehension of all warriors!
"roar!"
That enormous creature roared to the sky! Like a muffled thunderclap!
"ah!"
Finally, the soldiers' willpower collapsed instantly!
Faced with the slaughter by aliens, they might still be able to hold on, and even if they die in battle, they will not completely collapse. However, when faced with such a terrifying behemoth, they don't even have the will to resist!
So the soldiers began to scatter and flee!
Some soldiers retreated while firing at the giant beast. But... it was all in vain!
A huge gap has appeared in the Earth army's defensive formation!
Beast King aliens, break through this gap!
The colossal creature stood in front of the Beast King aliens, protecting them as they attempted to break through. Meanwhile, the mage stealthily unleashed magic from behind.
The retreating Earth soldiers left behind piles of corpses!
In reality, that colossal creature was nothing more than a phantom! It possessed absolutely no offensive power! Yet, the Earthlings were completely unaware of this; their hearts and souls had been shattered with fear!
…… …… ……
Chiba Castle.
A piercing, nerve-wracking siren blared throughout the city… “Attention citizens! Alien monsters have breached our defenses and entered Chiba City! Please return home and lock your doors and windows! Soldiers, please remain on the streets to intercept the aliens! The lives of the citizens are in your hands! We beg you!”
After the alarm was announced, extreme chaos erupted in Chiba Castle. People on the streets screamed in terror and scurried around like ants on a hot plate. Some citizens ran home, closed all the doors and windows, and hid under their beds.
Some citizens tried to rush out of Chiba Castle, but the chaotic crowds and the military on the streets caused traffic jams, resulting in people pushing and trampling each other, causing serious casualties!
The army in the city was also prepared for a bloody battle. They were stationed at every major thoroughfare in the city, with bullets loaded and grenades firmly in hand...
Before long, the routed defenders began retreating into Chiba City. These defenders cried out in despair… “We can’t hold them off! Monsters! Monsters! Bullets and rockets are useless! We can’t kill the monsters! We can’t hold them off!”
Immediately afterwards, heavy, thunderous footsteps began to tread into Chiba Castle...
Thump! Thump! Thump!
That 10-meter-tall monster, resembling a ferocious Tyrannosaurus Rex, has already trampled into the city!
Everyone who saw this monster felt as if a cold, icy hand had gripped their heart...
Then, countless soldiers began to raise their guns, trembling, and shoot at the monster.
Some citizens were scared to death, while others chose to commit suicide...
Over 400 Beast King aliens successfully stormed the city, sacrificing only 23 warriors in their deaths. Then, they began to scatter! Under the cover of the phantom monsters, they began to flee into nearby residences!
They broke down doors and began plundering the wealth of Earthlings, torturing and killing Earthling men, and raping Earthling women...
Their strategy and tactics have changed; they now intend to gradually destroy the city by infiltrating residential areas and supermarkets in a dispersed manner.
However, the monster outside only lasts for one hour.
Earth's soldiers bombarded the monster with firepower, but the monster stopped moving and just stood there absorbing the fire.
Several tens of minutes passed, and the Earth army wasted a lot of bullets and bombs, only to find out a ridiculous fact... the monster had vanished! Just like water vapor, it disappeared on its own!
At this point, the Earth army realized that they had fallen into a trap!
The main alien force has already infiltrated the city, wreaking havoc in civilian residences. The military cannot destroy an entire city; they can only enter each residence, supermarket, and office building in batches. This makes the soldiers even more vulnerable to being wiped out by the Beast King aliens!
The war has escalated to a very unfavorable situation. And this situation spreads rapidly through the internet.
Britain, Brazil, and the Beast King aliens all employed the same strategy and tactics: break out, infiltrate nearby cities, carry out small-scale killings, and mingle with civilians, making it extremely difficult for the army to take action.
…… …… ……
country z.
Gao Jianfei had already assembled his troops and boarded a private plane bound for ***.
Gao Jianfei had originally planned to depart the next morning. However, the war situation was extremely unfavorable, and the Z country's "government" had already notified Gao Jianfei to proceed to the front lines ahead of schedule.
Gao Jianfei took his family into the special space of the Ghost Nest and settled them down, thus putting his worries at ease. Now, he also wanted to go in and see the situation for himself.
He wasn't a savior, but he was an Earthling, and he didn't want to see his fellow human beings slaughtered by aliens like chickens and dogs. He needed some emotional support.
Therefore, Gao Jianfei felt obligated to lead his recruited special team and board the plane for takeoff!
As dawn approached, Gao Jianfei finally arrived at the front lines of the battle... Kanagawa, near Chiba Castle!
The sky gradually turned white.
In Chiba City, the gunfire gradually subsided. This was because hundreds of aliens had successfully hidden themselves and were no longer launching attacks.
Chiba Castle returned to silence. However, this silence was eerie and terrifying, because no one knew which corner of the city the aliens were hiding in, or when they would launch another attack!
The government has begun temporary evacuation efforts. Civilians of Chiba Castle are starting to move towards Kanagawa Prefecture. However, this evacuation is proceeding very slowly.
At this time, Gao Jianfei led his troops to the temporary military command post set up in Kanagawa.
The head of this military command, Koji Kawaguchi, met with Gao Jianfei. Also present at the command were a major general from China, a general from India, a lieutenant general from Thailand, and high-ranking military officials from Vietnam, Malaysia, and the Philippines.
