Chapter 238 The Mechanical Squid Unleashing Its Power (4K)

Faced with the sudden attack of the mechanical squid, the destroyer had no chance to fight back.

The moment the mechanical squid's tentacles wrapped around the ship's hull, it released a high-voltage current.

These high-voltage currents surged wildly across the ship's surface like a spiderweb, instantly enveloping the entire destroyer in a pulsating hell of electric light.

Electricity surged in through the riveting seams and piping system of the hull, shattering the electronic screens in the bridge into pieces one after another.

The ghouls reacted quickly, maneuvering the fleet to disperse at an accelerated pace.

However, two ships were still entangled by the mechanical squid during this period.

They no longer cared about saving their companions and immediately unleashed a massive barrage of firepower, destroying the ship along with the mechanical squid.

At the same time, the ghouls also deployed a large number of deep-sea bombs into the sea.

With the mechanical squid destroyed, the pilots had no choice but to activate the escape mechanism and flee the damaged hull.

They were met by a swordfish mini-submarine that lurked in the deep sea.

The Tomorrow's fleet was also attacked.

The ghouls' level 1 diving city crossed the blockade and went straight to the vicinity of the fleet to open fire.

Under its surprise attack, a Zhenlang destroyer exploded and was destroyed.

"I knew you would target my fleet," Li Ye said coldly.

He had already made arrangements.

Just as the submerged city was preparing to evacuate, several figures appeared.

Those were three mechanical squid.

Their anti-radar detection capabilities make them virtually undetectable to enemy fleets and cities, making them like ghosts in naval warfare.

100 meters, 70 meters, 40 meters
As the distance gradually decreased, the mechanical squids suddenly accelerated, and a dozen or so tentacles simultaneously coiled around the steel body of the submersible city like giant pythons.

The mechanical squid on the far left tightly wrapped its tentacles around the propeller and thrusters of the submersible city. The high-voltage electrical nodes on the inside emitted blinding blue-purple arcs of electricity, and the submarine's propeller emitted a piercing metallic friction sound under the electric shock.

The mechanical squid on the right has entangled the torpedo tubes of the submersible city, rendering it completely incapable of retaliating.

The last one activates its beak-shaped mouthpiece, and the drill bit pierces into the city's outer shell. The sprayed high-pressure acid makes the city's outer shell riddled with holes at a visible speed.

As a large amount of seawater rushed in, the three mechanical squid's tentacles tightened simultaneously, flattening the entire mobile city from the middle like a soda can.

With a deafening explosion, the submersible city was split in two, slowly sinking into the abyss amidst lightning and bubbles.

The mechanical squid released their tentacles, their back thrusters activated silently, and they vanished without a trace in the blink of an eye.

"It was resolved so easily?" Li Ye asked in surprise.

Compared to its powerful anti-ship capabilities, the mechanical squid's greatest strength lies in its ability to evade radar detection.

This means that it is difficult for enemy ships, submarines, and mobile cities to detect it.

Unless you have high-level detection items.

"It seems that I can continue to upgrade the Mechanical Squid using upgrade blueprints in the future," he thought to himself.

At this very moment, the mobile cities of both sides are engaged in fierce combat.

With the help of the Starship, the Iron Whale successfully captured a mobile assault city.

With Fang Yong's soft humming, the Iron Whale began its routine scrapping and return to the factory.

The Titan's Grip magnetic device on the deck suddenly activated, attracting various cannons, heavy machine guns, and firearms from the enemy's deck and the hands of the combat personnel.

The giant jaw crushing and cutting device at the forefront of the city was put into operation, with the array of precision steel saw teeth and hydraulic breakers starting to operate at high speed.

Tier 1 cities are like toys that have been roughly dismantled by children, turning into countless burning fragments through continuous cutting.

The mournful cry of steel echoed throughout the sea.

During this time, the enemy's rear-area fire support city launched a fierce barrage.

However, the Iron Whale defended against this using its energy shield device.

Having failed to achieve their initial objective, the fire support city was preparing to move on in order to reload its artillery shells for the next round of firing.

However, a bizarre scene unfolded: the entire city suddenly stopped moving.

The camera then cuts to the thrusters and propellers in the background of the city.

There it was—a mechanical squid, its tentacles tightly wrapped around the thrusters and propellers, and it began to release high-voltage current and acid.

Upon learning that the enemy city had lost its mobility, Yang Zheng immediately ordered the use of electromagnetic railguns for targeted bombardment.

The projectiles fired by the railgun tore through the atmosphere at supersonic speeds and struck the fire support city head-on almost instantly.

At the moment of contact, kinetic energy was converted into immense destructive energy. The city's armor plates shattered like fragile glass, and the projectile continued to penetrate multiple layers of the structure, causing severe damage within the city.

While the pacifiers succeeded, the Starship also destroyed the second assault city.

Now, the enemy's mobile cities consist only of the level 1 defensive city and the level 3 assault city, along with air units and part of the fleet.

Under Li Ye's orders, the Tomorrow Fleet began a large-scale missile bombardment of enemy aircraft. The naval forces were responsible for encircling and destroying the remaining mobile cities and fleets.

"What about that level 3 assault city? Should we find it, Alliance Leader?" Yang Zheng asked.

Li Ye gently shook his head.

The main armed forces of a level 3 assault city are its land, sea, and air combat units, while its own combat power is relatively limited. Now, with its land, sea, and air forces on the verge of collapse, this assault city has become a lone force.

“It certainly won’t show itself, it’s probably already escaped,” he replied. “We don’t need to worry about it, let’s focus on taking care of the remaining enemies and then go support Archbishop Heath.”

"understand!"

The Starship then engaged the defensive city.

It froze the sea near the enemy city with its Frost Cannon, and then rendered it immobile with a single Hunter Cannon shot.

Immediately following was a salvo of lava cannon fire.

In the rolling explosions, the defensive city sank to the bottom of the water.

Lin Wu on the deck nodded slightly and picked up the walkie-talkie.

"Report: All enemy level 1 mobile cities have been destroyed."

With the support of the Tomorrow Fleet, the ghouls' air force suffered heavy casualties, with only a few scattered fighters escaping.

Tomorrow Alliance thus successfully gained air superiority.

On the other side, the Iron Whale accelerated and crashed into a ghoul destroyer.

The giant jaws' crushing and cutting device was activated, and it began to rapidly devour the ship.

The destroyer's armor began to brittle and disintegrate, and the conning tower was shredded into metal shavings like paper. Hydraulic hammers pounded the hull with astonishing synchronization, the enormous impact force chipping it apart.

As the Iron Whale suddenly shifted laterally, the steel saw teeth tore a fifty-meter-long gash along the ship's longitudinal axis, completely shattering it.

The air force swooped down and bombed the ships indiscriminately.

As the last enemy ship prepared to escape, the deep-sea hunter submarine launched a torpedo and sank it.

The battle is over, and Tomorrow Alliance has won a great victory.

Everyone suddenly became excited.

Destroyed ships, mobile cities, and the wreckage of warplanes falling from the sky are all metal, which can be recycled and forged into steel in steel mills.

As for the ghouls on vehicles and mobile cities, they are level 3 monsters, numerous, and will drop a large amount of resources. Li Ye shook his head slightly.

"Don't rush to pick them up. The war is the priority right now. Let's get to Archbishop Hiss as soon as possible."

The situation on His side is also going smoothly; the vampire civilization's forces have been completely defeated.

However, they encountered a huge problem.

The mobile suits currently engaged in combat have already determined a victor.

Only the human-made AM-W2 survived in the sky.

In the ocean, the monster's second unit survived.

Now, Unit 2 is hurtling toward Hiss's forces.

"Immediately order the fleet to intercept it!"

With Heath's order, the fleet began dropping deep-sea bombs and launching torpedoes in large numbers.

However, Unit 2 evaded it completely with its maneuvering and air curtain barrier launchers.

Through the radar screen, everyone watched it get closer and closer.

The monsters' mobile suits then engage the human fleet.

As the mobile suit's supercavitation torpedo launcher was activated, the torpedoes detached from the bomb bay one after another, and spiral-shaped cavitation clouds burst out from their tails, creating a vacuum tunnel in the rear due to the supercavitation effect.

A cruiser was directly hit; the supercavitating shockwave pierced through the hull, shattering the keel like broken glass. The entire warship snapped in two in the deafening explosion, its burning wreckage swallowed by the giant waves.

The sea surface exploded with a deafening roar, and the mobile suit burst forth from the waves, its crimson eyes locking onto its target.

The fleet launched a fierce counterattack, with close-in weapon systems and anti-ship missiles raining down like a storm, but the mobile suits activated their air curtain barrier launchers, creating a turbulent shield in front of them.

The trajectory of the bullet was instantly distorted upon impact with the barrier, and it self-destructed amidst the turbulence.

The mobile suit then burst into the center of the fleet, its arm armor launching high-frequency vibrating blades that vibrated at a frequency of tens of thousands of times per second, evaporating the seawater into high-pressure steam upon contact.

A nearby destroyer was trying to escape, but as the mobile suit sidestepped, a vibrating blade swept across, smoothly slicing through the bow.

The metal melted at the cut, seawater rushed in, and the ship sank in a desperate torrent, its crew struggling in the whirlpool.

Immediately afterwards, the mobile suit picked up a plasma pulse gun and fired at a nearby ship.

The plasma beam pierced through the ship's armor, the ultra-high temperature vaporizing the steel directly, detonating the internal ammunition magazine, and the entire warship disintegrated in a deafening explosion, with fireballs shooting into the sky and shockwaves creating waves tens of meters high.

Within a minute, three ships were completely destroyed.

The other ships were trying to escape, but the mobile suits activated their vortex generators.

A terrifying vortex hundreds of meters wide instantly formed in the nearby sea area, its gravitational field distorting the water flow and severely interfering with the ship's movements.

Upon seeing this, Heath couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

"So this is the combat power of mobile suits," he said slowly.

He had only heard about it before, but now he saw it with his own eyes.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Heath slowly began to speak.

"Fire! We'll bury it."

The mobile cities immediately opened fire on the mobile suits.

The mobile suit then submerged into the water to evade the attack.

But it was doomed.

Because Hiss used all of his level 4 shells – Earth Core Roses – in one go this time.

The shells hurtled towards them and landed in the water.

There was no fire, no loud noise; underwater, only a silent bloom of death.

The projectile's outer shell cracked open like a flower in the deep sea, and tens of thousands of fragments and steel needles were ejected at ultra-high speed, each carrying enough kinetic energy to penetrate the armor plate.

They create countless tiny cavitation bubbles in the water, like a silver rainstorm rising in reverse.

Mobile suits were thus swept up.

The first wave of shrapnel tore apart its supercavitating torpedo launcher, the ammunition magazine flooded and exploded, and the left arm twisted and broke under the impact of the high-pressure water flow.

The second wave of shrapnel pierced through the chest armor, shattered the bulletproof observation window of the cockpit, and instantly flooded in with icy seawater, causing the pilot's blood to atomize under high pressure.

The third wave of fragments destroyed the vortex generator on its legs, and the hydraulic oil mixed with seawater, spreading out an eerie iridescent color in the deep blue.

The mobile suit was thus completely destroyed.

When the light spot on the screen disappeared, everyone in the command room cheered.

Immediately afterwards, their eyes dimmed.

Not only the mobile suits, but also several nearby ships were affected.

Thanks to Hiss's excellent command, the fleet suffered almost no losses after the battle, but was almost completely wiped out when dealing with the mobile suits.

Heath's eyes grew serious.

Even knowing that the ships would be affected, the Earth Core Rose cannonballs had to be fired.

This is the only chance the troops have to destroy the mobile artillery.

Once the enemy detects the shells and creates distance, the shells will be unable to inflict effective damage.

The mobile suits will then submerge and roam the waters where his forces are located, destroying his ships and mobile cities one after another.

As a commander, one must be decisive.

Even without considering the consequences.

Upon learning that the battle on Tomorrow Alliance's side had also ended, he nodded slightly.

"Now, let's join forces to attack the level 3 mobile island."

The two forces then joined together and marched off in a grand procession.

Even without mobility, destroying this level 3 mobile island is not as easy as one might imagine.

The monsters designed it as a mobile war fortress at sea.

Its weapons include:
12 triple-mounted Tier 3 main guns.

An array of 48 honeycomb level 3 rapid-fire cannons.

Three-stage modular missile vertical launch unit.

Three-stage torpedo launching array.

Upon witnessing the human forces attacking from afar, the moving island opened fire.

The 12 triple-gun turrets slowly turned, and the dozens of meters long gun barrels were raised to the firing angle by the hydraulic system and began to fire.

The 48 honeycomb rapid-fire cannon arrays surrounding the island began to roar, creating a death barrage with an astonishing rate of fire that stretched 15 kilometers in diameter, destroying incoming missile swarms and forcing back the fighter jets.

The vertical launch silos in the center of the island were activated simultaneously, and various missiles shot into the sky, trailing eerie blue plumes of flame.

Beneath the surface, the torpedo tubes were loaded, and with a series of muffled explosions, the torpedoes were launched, creating vacuum tunnels underwater.

"What fierce firepower!" Li Ye exclaimed in astonishment.
