Tokyo Detective

Chapter 544 Top Title "Twilight of the Kings" Achieved

Blue plasma energy shot into the sky, and a circular plasma shield with a radius of 50 meters covered most of the ship's hull, giving it a sci-fi aesthetic.

"Boom boom boom boom boom"

The explosion stopped, and seawater fell on the ship like rain.

Naoki Hanyu sat on the deck eating compressed biscuits. Maintaining the plasma shield within a 50-meter range was too exhausting, especially since one hit and another affected the stern. Fortunately, the stern was unharmed.

The neighboring ship is not in such good condition; the engine is damaged, and its speed has been reduced to only 25 knots.

Naoki Hanyu looked up at the dark clouds gradually engulfing the distant city, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

"A reciprocal gift is in order; are you ready?"

A reply came through the communicator.

"Ready? Hey, you guys hurry up, stop dawdling."

"What's with the rush? Come on over if you dare."

"You lost the rock-paper-scissors game. Hurry up, or I'll feed you to the sharks."

"I'd rather feed the sharks."

Inside the ammunition depot, Naoki Hanyu used his old trick again, attaching each clone to a Tomahawk missile. Only a Tomahawk missile traveling at Mach 0.8 can be used in this way.

The clone responsible for binding wiped away imaginary sweat, looking at the more than 10 bound clones with great pleasure.

"It must have been really tough."

The clone bound to the missile was furious. He hated it when someone was acting like Versailles in front of him, so he took advantage of the other's inattention and grabbed the Versailles clone, using a locking technique to firmly lock his limbs and neck.

"Quickly, launch us all at once!"

The locked clone quickly shouted.

'Stop it, make him let go right now, I have work to do.'

The Khorne clone laughed heartily.

"Don't worry, we'll try our best to finish your job."

"No, no, no! I'd rather be shark food!"

Tzeentch's clone picked up a chain and bound the two of them together, then smiled maliciously.

"Have a safe journey. If I have the chance, I'll experience what it's like to feed a shark with my own body."

The missile was pushed onto the launch pad, its two bound parts rubbing against the steel, their barely movable hands tearing at each other.

"It's all your fault."

"It's all because you're the best at pretending. Of all the Naoki Hanyu characters, you're the best at pretending."

As the battle raged, the missiles spewed flames and ascended into the air. The two clones were also rendered speechless by the heat. Although they had inherited the ability to withstand high temperatures, the thick smoke was still very uncomfortable.

"Takeoff from Wuhu."

"what"

The two warships used up all their Tomahawk missiles, but of course, there weren't enough missiles left for the ships to use.

In this coordinated operation, each warship was equipped with 16 anti-ship missiles, and the two ships together had 32 missiles. Naoki Hanyu's clones could only deploy half of them.

Missiles were launched one after another, creating spectacular ballistic smoke trails for more than ten seconds.

Even after the two destroyers had exhausted their anti-aircraft missiles, they continued to launch Standard Missile-6 (SM-6) surface-to-air missiles. After firing the 400-kilometer-range SM-6, they then launched the 180-kilometer-range SM-2 missile, as if they had used up all their ammunition.

The Standard series is a multi-functional anti-aircraft and anti-ship missile, barely adequate for striking land targets.

Three minutes ago, at America's Houston command post, they were observing the battle situation.

"Sudden loss of target location suggests the device may possess radar-evading stealth capabilities."

"What, the ability to become invisible?"

Army Commander Zachary Moore slammed his fist on the table, his thoughts turning to the YMCA's stealth technology.

"Immediately use satellites to check if the enemy ships are still there."

"Yes."

Satellite images quickly appeared, showing the missiles exploding around the warship and the emergence of a blue protective shield. "What's that?"

The Army Chief of Staff, a lieutenant general, frowned.

"It looks to me like an energy shield."

"An energy shield? What kind of energy shield would a terrorist organization have? Even we Americans don't have one."

The Army Chief of Staff shook his head.

"Just like the YMCA, which is supported by the Japanese military, it's not incomprehensible that the Revitalization Society, which is supported by certain people in our military, possesses some mysterious technologies."

"Those damn guys."

Zachary slammed his hand on the table, startling Ying, who was sitting next to him.

"Sir, this is a dangerous front line. Please go to a safe place."

"I understand. I'll leave the war to you."

Ying wouldn't say anything about being with everyone. He hurriedly led his people away, having already done all the show work of taking photos and making interviews. The army also began to invade the urban area.

Unbeknownst to everyone, Naoki Hanyu's clone was watching Win King's movements intently from a high vantage point. The old man had actually sent someone to say that the deal had been unilaterally changed. The righteous clone wished he could kill the old man.

Air defenses along the entire east coast of Texas were activated, with AN/TPY-2 X-band radars establishing a 3000-kilometer early warning perimeter.

The SBIRS military early warning satellite also activated its space-based infrared system. With the combined computing power of the three satellites, the tracks of 172 missiles were quickly locked, and the data was provided to various air defense units.

Of course, infrared systems are not omnipotent; sometimes they can malfunction, causing some missiles to disappear.

Theoretically, a space-based infrared system can achieve the fusion computing power to track 300 targets. In reality, it is prone to errors when tracking more than 110 targets, especially with slight interference from clouds.

With the help of the space-based infrared system, Naoki Hanyu's stealth missiles are no longer invincible.

As for stealth missiles, there's nothing that can be done, since Patriot missiles are radar-guided.

Soon another 61 explosions occurred in the air, and the remaining 80-plus missiles entered the last line of defense of the American army, 5 kilometers away.

"Quickly, quickly, launch the M-SHORAD (Mobile Short-Range Air Defense System) and Avenger System!"

The army's air defense forces were busy; they had just been attacking Houston, and now they were being called in for air defense.

Where did the air raid come from?
"Swish swish swish"

Wave after wave of missiles streaked across the sky above the position, a breathtaking spectacle like a meteor shower, with thick smoke enveloping the position.

The two systems are America's core air defense capabilities. The former was developed to replace the Avenger system. It is a digital system that can be guided by both radar and infrared, unlike the Avenger system's Stinger missiles which can only be guided by infrared.

Five kilometers is far too close. Many soldiers engaged in urban warfare can look up and see the collision of interceptor missiles, which are very dazzling in the dark night, attracting their attention like fireworks.

The platoon leader asked in surprise

"What's going on? Aren't our enemies fungal zombies? Why do we need air defense interception?"

"That's not right. If it were them, they should be attacking the West Coast, not the East Coast, especially not some rural place like Texas."

While the army squad was distracted, a stage 3 spore leaper pounced on one of the soldiers and tore the other two apart with its claws.

"Enemy attack! Counterattack! Counterattack quickly!"

Bullets flew wildly through the alley, creating a scene of utter carnage.

Many fireballs exploded in the sky, briefly illuminating the city in the darkness.

There is no such thing as perfect defense in the world; quantitative change leads to qualitative change.

The last remaining fish managed to hit its target, causing explosions in many places, including where the weapons were stored.

In an instant, two mushroom clouds rose into the sky, many armored units were overturned, and the shockwaves could be felt even in downtown Houston.

While 40 troops were stunned by the power of the explosion, few noticed that a makeshift air-raid shelter had been hit by two Tomahawk missiles.

At the same time, Naoki Hanyu couldn't help but smile, because the system message told him that his goal had been achieved.

[Ding! 8-star reward collected]

Complete the top-tier title quest to obtain the Twilight of Kings title.
