Luzon, Bataan Peninsula, Mariveles.
The city borders Manila Bay to the east and Subic Bay to the west. It is the only way in and out of Manila Bay.
The military airport in the south of the city is brightly lit. Sixteen "Pelican" fighter jets took off in the night. The pilots were not told who the enemy was. The order from their superiors was to let them stand by over the designated location.
In fact, the pilots' superiors knew little more than they did. Fifteen minutes ago, the adjutant woke him up from bed with a red emergency phone. On the other end of the phone was his boss who had been promoted several levels up. The boss's message was concise and concise: If you don't handle this well, it would be a trivial matter to lose your hat, and you may not even be able to save your head.
Watching the tail flames of the fighter jets fading away, the heavy heart of the top officer of the military base eased a little. "NO.5? What is that? Research institute? Secret base?" He was recalling the name of the target mentioned on the phone by his boss just now, and looking through the various rumors he had heard in the past in his mind, but he had no clue: "NO.5 what exactly is it?"
The same problem troubled the captain of the Tropic of Cancer. The nuclear-powered submarine "Tropic of Cancer" is currently sneaking underwater in Manila Bay, and its destination is also unheard of NO. 5.

Fortress No. 5, bottom floor, warehouse.
A fierce battle will begin here.
The soldiers' experience in fighting alien creatures is actually very limited. Because of the reliability of the metal hall, alien creatures coming from the black hole are directly killed on the spot.
Even the beast tide incident a month ago was due to the slime-like alien creatures whose liquid bodies were pervasive. In order to prevent them from entering the cannon and causing damage, the former commander-in-chief of the fortress took the initiative to open the door of the hall to lure the slimes out and then eliminate them.
Who knew that these slimes could actually unite. The giant slime that fused hundreds of its kind was incredibly strong. The former leader of the dragon-level fortress was dragged into its jelly-like body and drowned to death.
During that battle, Griffin unexpectedly discovered that his ability was very effective against slimes. In the end, he broke through the dragon level before the battle and killed the giant slime.
"Beast King", this is Griffin's ability.
Simply put, Griffin can control animals. Don't think that this ability is weak. When Griffin was still at the human level, he could command almost all animals on the earth. Of course, the animals on this earth are of type, not quantity. As a human, he can only control one kind of animal at a time, and the number he can control depends on the intelligence of the controlled animal. For example, his maximum control number for dogs is ten, for rabbits it is twenty, and so on.
At the human level, Griffin could only give some simple instructions to animals. It was no problem to ask a dog to spin in circles and pretend to be dead. If he asked him to spin three times clockwise and two times counterclockwise, it would not work after ten seconds. But at the tiger level, Griffin can command animals on the earth like an arm, and they can also perform commands that are beyond the ability of animals to understand, and the types and numbers have also increased.
The most important thing is that the "Beast King" who has reached the tiger level can control alien creatures, but the effect is only equivalent to the control of earth animals at the human level.
Now, although Griffin has just entered the dragon level, he has already fully developed his abilities. Take the invaded Smoky Lizards as an example. Hundreds of Smoky Lizard Griffins can control them to kill each other as long as they are willing, without any effort from humans.
So why can Griffin only escape when faced with a strange bird and use no abilities? Because the Beast King has a very obvious shortcoming - the casting time is too long.
The casting time of the Beast King is related to the number, type, intelligence, will, etc. of the controlled objects.
The time to control one smoke lizard is definitely shorter than ten smoke lizards; the time to control a half-dead smoke lizard is definitely shorter than a normal smoke lizard; the time to control a normal smoke lizard is definitely shorter than a strange bird. As for comparing a half-dead strange bird with a normal smoke lizard...it's hard to say.
And controlling animals is not without consumption. In layman's terms, it is Griffin's mental power that is consumed. Controlling hundreds of smoke lizards to kill each other would consume too much mental energy. For Griffin, it was an okay but unnecessary thing to do.
It is difficult to precisely control each animal, grasp the number, and consume as little mental energy as possible to achieve the maximum result. This is a bit like fighting in the interstellar world. There are only so many resources. Which arms to build, how many to build, what tactics to use, and how to divide the troops are all technical tasks.
Dragon-level Griffin has already mastered the use of Beast King. Surrounded by his subordinates, the environment for performing the technique is very safe. Griffin wants to control some of the strange birds to become the human side's fighting force. If one goes against the other, the human's chances of winning will increase. When Griffin wandered down the corridor, he had already sent out a message for help. Griffin believed that he would have no problem holding on until backup arrived.
…………
Europe, Cornflower County, Cologne.
A video conference is being held in a building in this city.
"Xius, I hope you can give us a reasonable explanation for the matter in Wandao County."
The speaker was an old white man, who looked to be in his seventies. He had gray hair but was not angry, and his calm words revealed a chill, like a volcano waiting to erupt.
"My dear Uncle Joseph, calm down." Hughes was a handsome blond young man. He bowed slightly and spoke respectfully.
Joseph's expression softened somewhat when he saw Hughes's posture.
As a result, Hughes' next words made him angry.
"You old dog has no business giving orders to me."
"You!" Joseph was furious, but he knew that Hughes was telling the truth.
There were six people participating in this video conference. Except for Hughes, the five people on the screen were all the most powerful giants on the planet, and there were seven more such giants. These twelve people were called the "Federation" cabinet". The strange thing is that Joseph, who is so powerful on this planet, really can't do anything about the rude Hughes.
"Mr. Hughes, please pay attention to your words; Joseph, we have known Hughes for more than a day or two. He has always had a bad mouth." The person who stood up to talk was Kimura Yansheng, a Sakura County man in his fifties. people.
Joseph snorted coldly and said nothing.
"Then, Mr. Hughes, stop messing around and tell us the reason why you are doing this." The person who spoke this time was a woman, the only woman in the video conference, Fiona, from South America. Although she was still beautiful, the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes showed that she was no longer young.
"Okay, Aunt Fiona."
Fiona shivered with anger when she heard the word "aunt".
"I can completely understand how you and Joseph feel. After all, Ten Thousand Islands County is Joseph's territory, and the divine mist produced in Fortress No. 5 is naturally Joseph's private property."
"Half a year ago, Fortress No. 17 was invaded by alien creatures and forced to self-destruct. I remember that Fortress No. 17 was in Rio de Janeiro, Amazon County. That was your territory, Fiona."
"There are thirty-six counties in the Federation. Joseph owns Baoxiang County and Ten Thousand Islands County. Each of the two counties has an alien passage, namely Manila Fortress No. 5 and Singapore Fortress No. 30."
"Once Fortress No. 5 is gone, Joseph, you will only have one divine mist production point left. The amount of divine mist produced by Fortress No. 30 will be difficult to maintain your current state, let alone support an army of ability users. ?”
"Hahahaha, I really want to see you look older, hahahaha..."
Joseph's face was livid, and Fiona also looked unhappy. She is also faced with a shortage of divine mist, but there are three alien passages in Amazon County. After the passage in Rio de Janeiro was destroyed, there are two left that can be used. Her situation was better than that of Joseph, who only had one channel left, and the self-destruction of Fortress No. 17 half a year ago was not to blame on Hughes, but this time it was different. When he learned that Fortress No. 5 had been breached by alien creatures, Hughes immediately dispatched a nuclear submarine. He knew with his buttocks that this nuclear submarine was definitely not there for support.
"Joseph, Fiona, each of your Shenwu production lines is missing one piece; Kimura Yansheng, your production line has not been reduced, but the Shenwu output of each channel has been reduced; Cooper, Abram, you The situation is the same as Kimura."
Cooper and Abram, who had been silent, remained calm at this time, acquiescing to Hughes' words.
"I know that on the surface, you guys want to keep Joseph's No. 5 Fortress."
"But in fact, your real purpose is to jointly put pressure on me, either to let me open more channels or to hand over the purification process of Shenwu."
"I only respond to you in four words."
"You're dreaming!"
