By the time Yondu and his group of Ravagers arrived, a good deal of time had actually passed since the transaction between William Stryker and General Ross.
While Qi Jun hadn't perceived any passage of time, in fact, Earth had already experienced several days and nights.
With Qi Jun's current strength, let alone this short amount of time, even if thousands of years passed, Qi Jun might not feel anything.
As his strength grew… greater, the concept of time's passage naturally became more… blurred.
Of course, the stronger one became, the clearer one's perception and understanding of… time and spacetime rules also became.
Ahem, I've strayed… Just as Yondu and his group of Ravagers saw the fighter jets suddenly departing from the Mutant School, William Stryker, who had been constantly monitoring the Mutant School, naturally also received the information he wanted.
And General Ross, who had injected his subordinates with the 'Human Enhancement Serum' and was even using the 'Human Enhancement Serum' for deeper experiments, naturally also set his sights on the Mutant population.
A formerly abandoned military Base closest to the Mutant School had long since been reactivated by General Ross and garrisoned with elite squads… The Company's development was simply too rapid; in the blink of an eye, it had become a behemoth that General Ross dared not touch.
And to avoid offending… the Company's products, and to obtain the Company's items at the lowest possible cost, General Ross naturally also set his sights on those… super-powered individuals, and Mutants were among them.
Or rather, compared to William Stryker, who firmly focused on Mutants, General Ross found many more types of Ability Users serums than William Stryker.
After all, General Ross was not limited to Mutants as an option. After understanding the Company's product exchange rules, he naturally put great effort into collecting more types of Ability Users serums. In this way, Inhumans, Ability Userss, Mutants, Genetically Modified Humans, and so on… all those belonging to the Ability Users category were sought out by General Ross.
However, General Ross did not immediately hand over these… serums to the Company to exchange for 'Human Enhancement Serum,' but instead incorporated these… serums into his 'Super Soldier Serum' research project.
Nevertheless, regardless of the reasons, the Mutant School, at this very moment, was simultaneously attracting the contention of three factions!
"Boss!"
"Two armed forces have also been detected advancing towards the Mutant School!"
"Based on analysis, it's highly likely their target is also the Mutants in the Mutant School!"
Compared to the Earth natives Stryker and General Ross, Yondu and his group came from the depths of the galaxy, so they naturally discovered their movements much earlier.
In fact, it could be said that Stryker's and General Ross's actions held no secrets whatsoever in front of Yondu and his men!
"Have those few squads hidden around deal with them!"
Yondu casually glanced at the data projection and replied dismissively, in a tone that showed complete indifference.
In Yondu's view, as long as they weren't powerful and special Ability Userss, this native Planet simply wouldn't have anyone or anything that could pose a threat to them.
Naturally, William Stryker's biochemical Mutant troops and General Ross's enhanced modification troops were simply not worth Yondu's attention.
"Yes!"
"Boss!"
The Ravager dispatcher, in fact, also didn't take Stryker's and General Ross's troops seriously and directly carried out Yondu's order.
...But, in reality, would it truly be like this?
Are Yondu's Ravagers squad truly invincible? Are William Stryker's and General Ross's troops truly incompetent? No! Not necessarily! If there wasn't...
...the company, the source of plot disruption, then the power gap between the two sides would still be quite large.
But now, the combat power of the Ravagers squad under Yondu is actually not much different from the special forces under William Stryker and General Ross! Whether the two sides are strong or not depends on what they are compared to.
If it's about individual combat, the Ravagers under Yondu don't actually have very high combat power; at most, they are... a little stronger than special forces trained from ordinary people, but not by much.
In the Universe, people with real abilities, or even those with superpowers that are not strong but useful, would never fall to the point of becoming Ravagers.
That being said, there are quite a few superpowered individuals who have fallen to become Interstellar Pirates.
Ultimately, the Ravagers are just an organization formed by ordinary people from different civilizations in the Universe who are neither high-achievers nor low-achievers. It's somewhat similar to bandits in the martial arts world, setting up strongholds and becoming kings. However, as their development... expanded, the power of the Ravagers group also grew... stronger, subtly causing headaches for many advanced civilizations.
But even so, those... top-tier civilized forces still look down on this group of people. The Ravagers are pretty much like this. What about the special forces under William Stryker and General Ross on Earth?
Before the company appeared, these... special forces might still have been just the best among ordinary soldiers, but they would never be able to compare to superpowered individuals.
But now, with the appearance of the company, this source of disruption, the 'Human Enhancement Serum' not only strengthened the physical qualities of these people, causing all these special forces soldiers to break through the physical limits of ordinary humans.
The'Superpower' plan in the hands of William Stryker and General Ross even used these soldiers as guinea pigs.
Although the scale of these experiments was somewhat reduced, all the special forces soldiers who survived these experiments possessed formidable abilities.
Perhaps because their physical fitness was not strong enough, and their superpowers were not... fierce enough, but confronting Yondu's Ravagers squad was absolutely no problem! The encounter between the two sides was destined to be a thunderous battle.
William Stryker's and General Ross's special forces might have been momentarily stunned by the Ravagers' high-tech alien weapons.
But these warriors compensated for this gap in terms of physical fitness and unique superpowers. They quickly recovered from their daze and launched a swift counterattack.
In fact, to a certain extent, due to coordinated combat, as time went on, William Stryker's and General Ross's special forces gradually began to show a tendency to suppress the Ravagers...
"F*ck!"
"What did you say?"
"Our Ravagers squad was actually fought to a draw by these trash natives who can't even leave their home Planet?"
"They're even starting to lose ground, about to be defeated, and are requesting reinforcements?"
Inside the Ravager Battleship, after hearing the report from his subordinate, Yondu was furious, absolutely enraged.
Although their Ravagers had been on the decline, they had still been a force that ran rampant in the Universe.
Today, on Earth, this Planet that he considered utterly worthless and unable to even leave its home Planet, his subordinates were actually suppressed by a group of native soldiers! This was absolutely outrageous! It was completely... unbelievable!

Chapter 418: Desperate Charge
"Deploy bomber one!"
"Wipe out those other two factions!"
"Also!"
"After you rescue those... damned guys, lock them all in the brig!"
Seeing the images transmitted by the battlefield real-time information system, Yondu was about to explode with rage, completely in a state of mortified fury. He was so angry he almost wanted to personally go and blast those... scumbags himself.
"Yes, sir!"
Seeing his boss angry, Yondu's subordinate quickly took the order and ran off. He didn't want to be Yondu's punching bag.
Normally, an angry Yondu would at most beat him up, but now, he couldn't guarantee that a furious Yondu wouldn't stab him to death with a Yaka Arrow... Soon, a somewhat strange-looking spaceship in outer space detached from the Ravager Battleship and flew straight towards the battlefield on Earth.
The reason it was called strange was because this thing didn't conform to common human aesthetics at all.
The U.S.'s B-2 bomber already looked ugly enough.
But what Yondu called bomber one simply broke the record for the ugliest aircraft appearance.
Qi Jun just glanced at it and didn't want to look a second time, even disdaining to blow it up.
Simply because this so-called bomber one, its shape, was extremely similar to the head of a certain very lazy sheep from a certain anime.
It was truly... incredible! But then again, bomber one, powered by an anti-gravity system, had a payload that should not be... underestimated!
At least, under the bewildered and resentful gazes of William Stryker and General Ross, the moment bomber one arrived above the battlefield, its bottom bomb bay opened, and a large number of unknown types of ammunition were dropped.
Whoosh...! Boom!!! Whoosh whoosh... Boom boom boom!!! Whoosh whoosh whoosh Boom boom boom boom boom boom!!!
"No!!!"
"What the hell are these monstrous things?"
Amidst the heart-wrenching screams of William Stryker and General Ross, more than half of their troops were instantly blown to death or severely wounded.
Furthermore, at the center of the explosions, those soldiers didn't even leave a single personal item; their combat uniforms, equipment, and everything else were instantly vaporized without a trace...
"Charge!"
"Everyone, charge!"
"Where is The Pentagon's support?"
"Where is the military's support?"
"Why haven't those... bastards arrived yet?"
"Damn it, the aliens are at our doorstep!"
"Why hasn't the support from those scumbags arrived yet?"
William Stryker and General Ross, two brigadier generals who had maintained strong self-confidence, almost simultaneously went mad.
These were all their most direct and elite troops, their most skilled subordinates! They were actually bombed into oblivion by this unknown alien enemy!
The two, who had been following behind the troops, couldn't bear this outcome and went crazy, directly issuing attack orders.
Furthermore, their own subordinate troops were no longer enough; the two directly used their authority to mobilize more surrounding troops to encircle and annihilate the enemy.
But! How could troop deployment happen just like that? Even if The Pentagon received the information and issued orders at the fastest speed due to the unknown alien force, it couldn't compare to the speed of the Ravagers' bomber one's direct orbital air-drop!
By the time the support troops arrived, William Stryker's and General Ross's forces would probably have very few people left...
However, as unconventional forces, even if they were crippled, William Stryker's and General Ross's special forces still had some unique abilities.
Moreover, with their comrades-in-arms around them all 'incinerated', all the Super Soldiers launched a desperate charge towards Yondu's Ravagers squad!
