Mystery Detective of the Steam World

Chapter 534 Both Sides Have Their Wins and Losses
Back in that world, Li Wei had already discovered a significant difference in biotechnology between the two Krant kingdoms. If the biotechnology of his own world's Krant Empire was an early access version, then the biotechnology of the Krant kingdom in the other world was a deluxe, enhanced version.

But Li Wei didn't expect that this thing had been enhanced to this extent, it even cheats!

Li Wei had to admit that the biotechnology of the Kingdom of Krant in another world was indeed a bit tricky.

The Empire's current problem is that missiles are not built in a systematic manner, unlike in Levi's world, where anti-aircraft missiles, surface-to-air missiles, air-to-air missiles, personal missiles, and micro-missiles are packaged in a systematic way, and you can have whatever you want.

However, in this world, Li Wei's own research was rather haphazard, focusing on whatever seemed useful and feasible to him.

This has resulted in the Empire currently possessing only short-range missiles and enhanced versions of short-range missiles, and now also a thermobaric weapon.

There are none of the others.

The missiles mounted on the Cyclops were mainly used to attack ground targets; dealing with aerial monsters was already an overkill of their firepower.

However, ordinary artillery shells and mech attacks do not cause much damage to this aerial behemoth.

This is quite awkward.

Fortunately, Li Wei had previously ordered the military factory to stockpile a batch of relatively weak missiles, which were originally intended to be used against certain monsters.

Now that you can generate electricity, nobody will believe you if you say you're not a monster!
Li Wei then accelerated the Night Raven instantly and charged towards the aerial monster opposite him!

"Gah—!"

The mutated birds also noticed Li Wei's actions. Accompanied by hoarse screams, Li Wei saw the mutated birds suddenly swarm towards him in a dark, overwhelming mass. They were clearly fearless and showed no intention of giving way.

No matter how skilled Li Wei was at driving, he couldn't possibly get through this dense, almost seamless obstacle.

Fortunately, Li Wei had other options.

"Bang bang bang!!"

The machine guns atop the Night Raven opened fire again, bullets piercing the mutated birds and mercilessly shredding them to pieces. The birds exploded upon impact, forming fireballs. Yet the mutated birds continued their advance, like an unstoppable river, eager to devour anything in their path.

They rushed in front of the Night Raven and rammed into it without hesitation!
Then, the Night Raven disappeared, replaced by a bullet fired from the machine gun. But even that bullet didn't last a second, because in the next instant, it turned into a huge cannonball.

At the same time, the mutated birds crashed violently into the shell.

"boom-------!!"

A massive burst of flame exploded in mid-air, transforming into a dark cloud with flickering firelight visible through the gaps, mercilessly engulfing the surrounding mutated bird flock.

"By the Holy Lord!"

Upon witnessing this scene, the captain of the Skybreaker Sword stared in shock, nearly dropping his binoculars. He had personally seen those monsters surround the Night Raven piloted by Levi. Could this Imperial Earl, the Thistle Knight, have perished here?
If Li Wei knew what they were thinking, he would definitely say they were overthinking it, but Li Wei didn't have time to correct their wild thoughts now. After shaking off the encirclement of the mutated birds, the aerial behemoth Leviathan was now close at hand! At this moment, the aerial behemoth seemed to have also sensed the appearance of the Night Raven. Li Wei saw that its body surface began to flash with electricity, and a blue glow began to emerge beneath its skin. Soon, these lights condensed and flickered on the tip of the aerial behemoth's head—the point that looked like the horn of a narwhal.

The Night Raven raised its gun and aimed it at its side.

"———————!"

The lightning beam erupted again, sweeping across the Night Raven's path and engulfing it completely, leaving no trace.

But the next moment, the black mech reappeared! This time, it was already in front of the aerial behemoth!

"go to hell!"

Li Wei glared fiercely at the monster in front of him, then waved his hands, and two missiles appeared out of thin air beside the Night Raven, whistling as they flew towards the giant monster in the air!

The giant monster, having just unleashed a beam of lightning, appeared to be defenseless. Faced with Levi's attack, all it could do was open its mouth and let out a furious roar like a whale. Simultaneously, its tentacles suddenly extended, reaching for the two missiles!
However, the two missiles flew past the aerial behemoth's tentacles with agile trajectories, and then crashed into the behemoth's inflated body, which was filled with gas and resembled a giant balloon.

"---------boom!"

The behemoth's body suddenly expanded, and a series of dazzling, uncontrollable rays of light flashed from beneath its translucent skin. Then, in the blink of an eye, accompanied by a deafening explosion, a light so bright it could blind anyone enveloped the entire sky.

The dazzling light lasted for several seconds before gradually disappearing.

The enormous aerial monster, its body charred and engulfed in flames, plummeted helplessly toward the ground.

"call……………"

Seeing this, Li Wei, piloting the Night Raven, breathed a long sigh of relief. Thankfully, he possessed the ability to teleport, which allowed him to dodge the attack; otherwise, the self-destruction of that aerial behemoth alone would have been enough to kill him.

Fortunately…

Li Wei raised his head, glanced around again, and then switched his view to the Eye of the Sky. Only after confirming that there were no more traces of those green lights around him did he breathe a sigh of relief.

It seems that the attack has been a complete failure.

As Li Wei had predicted, after destroying the aerial behemoth, the enemy did not send out any more chimeras or monster armies, clearly indicating that the attack had not achieved its objective. However, the Empire also suffered significant losses; Krant lost an aerial behemoth, and the Empire also lost an airship. Not to mention that many of the mechs were also damaged in the battle, so the situation could only be described as half and half.

However, this was only the beginning. Li Wei knew that the next problem would be the biggest one.

The Empire is getting serious, and Krant from another world will obviously be serious too.

How will things develop then?
