Chapter 433 Dawn Has Arrived Early!

March 3, the first year of the new Federal Era.

The world-shaking maritime Great Wall strategy has been officially launched.

Two days have passed.

The whole world seemed to be muted.

It was like the suffocating stillness before a storm.

Newspapers, television, internet
All information channels are continuously broadcasting related news.

However, the content mostly focused on rear mobilization, resource allocation, and public prayers.

The true battle situation of that steel dragon stretching across the Pacific Ocean.

Yet not a single media outlet was able to obtain a single word about it.

People could only sense the growing tension, the constantly flashing force field shields of the coastal cities, and the frequent takeoffs and landings of patrol shuttles.

I sensed that the war that would determine the fate of humanity had already begun.

Anxiety, anticipation, fear, prayer.
Countless emotions fermented in everyone's hearts.

They are all waiting.

Waiting for the first news from the front lines.

Whether it's good or bad.

The final moments before dawn.

Deep in the Pacific Ocean.

Blackwater eddy currents.

The seawater here has an eerie, inky black color.

As if it had been absorbed into the endless ink of the abyss, it spun slowly and heavily, forming a huge natural vortex.

And in the center of this desolate land.

A massive island entirely constructed from piled-up black bones.

It stands abruptly at the center of the vortex.

A chilling, malevolent aura permeated the air above the island.

Even the sea breeze seems to emit a mournful wail.

This is the target of this ice-breaking operation.

A forward outpost of King Chujiang's army.

Its importance is unknown.

It could be a troop garrison or an outpost.

But in any case, destroy it completely and annihilate all enemy troops on it.

This is the goal that must be achieved in the first battle of the Great Wall at Sea.

At this moment, in the dark depths of the sea, more than ten kilometers below the island.

The command room inside a submarine.

The 3D projection sand table clearly presents the real-time dynamics of the sea area and islands above.

Fang Qingyu and Jiang Wei stood side by side in front of the sand table, their expressions calm.

Jiang Qi stood behind the control panel, her body taut.

Keep a close eye on every parameter change.

"Haijiao 1, 2, and 3 have reached their designated surfacing coordinates. Their acoustic signatures are normal, and environmental monitoring is accurate."

A technical officer calmly reported.

Jiang Qi took a deep breath, picked up the communicator, and spoke clearly and calmly, without a trace of emotion: "Vanguard team, proceed as planned. Best of luck!"

The command was transmitted instantly via an encrypted channel.

above the sea.

The inky black seawater swelled up into three enormous bulges as if boiling.

The next moment, three massive vessels with sleek lines, covered in matte black special armor, and shaped like giant sea dragons, suddenly broke through the surface of the sea, bringing with them towering waves.

The cold metal hatch slid open rapidly.

The interior reveals densely packed attack channels resembling a honeycomb.

Almost simultaneously, a piercing howl suddenly erupted from the black bone island, piercing the darkness before dawn like the tolling of a death knell from hell.

Countless figures surged out from the cracks in the island's bones, caves, and fortresses.

Most of them retain a shape similar to that of a human.

However, the skin appears as a deathly grayish-white or ice-blue, and the body is covered with a thin layer of ice crystal scales, with sharp ice spikes often emerging from the joints of the hands and feet.

Their eyes burned with ghostly blue or pale white soul flames.

It was none other than the ghost under the command of King Chujiang.

However, these ghosts are not quite the same as normal ghosts.

According to the intelligence information.

These ghosts should be called pseudo-royals.

In other words, they do not reach the combat strength of the fourth tier.

However, it also possesses the same abilities.

Therefore, the fluctuations emitted by these individuals far exceed those of ordinary ghosts.

A chilling aura spread with their movements.

It causes the temperature of the surrounding air to drop sharply.

"kill--!!!"

A roar.

Suddenly, it drowned out the fierce howl of the Death Demon.

Chu Kuanglan's imposing figure shot into the sky like a cannonball from the top of the command tower of the central sea dragon submarine.

The raging crimson blood energy shot straight into the sky like smoke from a wolf's beacon.

The sky was bathed in a faint red glow.

Behind him, hundreds of powerful figures followed closely.

They were all third-tier powerhouses.

It is the vanguard's sharpest edge.

"Formation!"

Chu Kuanglan was in mid-air, his roar echoing across the sea and sky.

Without needing many commands, hundreds of third-tier experts instantly formed a sharp arrowhead in the air, with Chu Kuanglan as the sharpest point of attack.

Qi and blood are connected, and will resonates.

"Run it for me!"

In an instant, Chu Kuanglan conjured an exaggeratedly crimson blood axe in his hand, and charged forward like a burning meteor, crashing into the surging army of icy ghosts.

boom! ! !
Crimson and eerie blue-white clashed violently.

The violent energy of blood and qi clashed violently with the icy, malevolent aura.

The shockwave that exploded instantly pulverized the dozens of life-destroying ghosts at the forefront, sending ice crystals and bone fragments flying everywhere.

Chu Kuanglan swung his axe down, and a huge crimson axe beam tore through the darkness.

The life-destroying ghosts along a straight line, along with their hastily formed ice shields and ice walls, were completely shattered!
The third-tier powerhouses behind him cut into the enemy ranks like meat grinders.

Swords flashed, fists swung, palms struck—all sorts of powerful martial arts and divine techniques erupted in an instant.

They were forced to survive in that densely packed tide of life-threatening ghosts.

A gap was torn open.

Their mission was not to penetrate deep into enemy territory alone, but to secure the landing zone, establish a defensive line, and open a safe passage for the subsequent main force to land.

at the same time.

Blue torrents surged out from the hatches of the three Haijiao submarines.

Thirty thousand Dawn Legion soldiers landed on the beachhead swiftly and in an orderly fashion.

Working in small teams, they quickly built a solid defensive line, taking advantage of the terrain and the gaps torn open by the vanguard warriors.

Warriors and melee-focused cultists were at the forefront, followed by magic-based cultists, creating a clear hierarchy.

The battle became intense from the very beginning.

The pseudo-royal ghost is indeed powerful.

Their ability to manipulate ice is a headache; ice spikes and ice storms appear one after another, causing considerable trouble for the landing legion warriors.

The speed at which the forwards advance.

It was much slower than any previous battle against an ordinary ghost.

They might even be pushed back a few steps from time to time.

In the command room.

Officers at all levels looked grave as they watched the situation on the screen.

He relayed instructions at lightning speed, coordinating logistics and medical support.

Jiang Qi, however, remained standing ramrod straight.

There was not a trace of panic on his face.

She even picked up the water glass next to her and took a small sip, as if she had anticipated everything that was happening.

"Heavy Equipment Group and Flowing Light Rapid Response Group, commence operations."

She glanced at the time and calmly issued the second instruction.

The command was issued instantly.

The sea surface in the direction where Chu Kuanglan and his group landed was torn apart again.

Another Haijiao-class submarine slowly surfaced.

The moment its hatch opened, a chilling atmosphere filled the air.

Wei Banmeng's figure appeared above the submarine.

She was now dressed in a set of full armor with a simple yet sharp design.

The armor was silver-gray with smooth lines, completely enveloping her graceful figure.

The mask fell away, revealing only a pair of eyes as cold and clear as an icy lake.

She held the Xuan Chi twin blades upside down in her hand.

"Dawn Heavy Armor Group! Land! Assemble!"

Her voice came through the mask.

It was clearly transmitted to the ears of every soldier below.

Below, a full ten thousand second-tier martial arts masters emerged from the submarine in silence, like steel sculptures.

They were also dressed in full-body heavy armor.

Wielding heavy armor-piercing weapons such as giant shields, heavy axes, and halberds.

Their steps were heavy and uniform, treading on the black, bone-strewn ground.

It emitted a heart-stopping roar.

The ten thousand people, as one, quickly assembled into a square formation below Wei Banmeng.

Wei Banmeng pointed his Xuanchi twin swords forward.

A cold, clear voice echoed across the battlefield: "Target: Enemy mid-line! Crush them! Kill!"

"kill!!!"

Ten thousand heavily armed warriors roared in unison, the sound waves shaking the sea.

The next moment, the black torrent of steel began to flow.

Like a mountain collapsing, like a tsunami.

They marched forward in perfect unison.

The speed wasn't fast, but the indomitable and unstoppable momentum was so overwhelming that you could feel the terrifying pressure just by looking at it on the screen.

The vanguard legion and the initial landing force are currently engaged in a fierce battle with the Ghost of Fate.

As if they had rehearsed countless times, they quickly dispersed to both sides with perfect coordination, like parting seawater, clearing a path for this terrifying torrent of steel to reach the heart of the enemy's territory.

The heavy equipment group didn't need to accelerate at all; it simply maintained its overwhelming formation.

It crashed directly into the army of the dead.

Boom——

This time, the clash was no longer a fierce battle of attrition like before.

It was a complete and utter crushing defeat.

The ice walls and shields hastily conjured by the Fate Demon were as fragile as paper and shattered instantly under the impact of the heavy shields encased in blood and qi and the chopping of the heavy axes.

Those ghosts who tried to freeze the warriors' armor with their ice powers.

But they discovered that the opponent's armor was surging with blood and qi, and the frost was rapidly melting away.

The heavy halberd thrust out, easily piercing through the life-giving ghost's icy armor.

The battle axe swung down, cleaving the ghost and ice in two.

Where the steel torrent passed, only broken ice crystals and corpses remained.

The pace of advance suddenly accelerated.

Almost simultaneously, the sound of waves breaking came again from both sides of the island.

Two submarines appeared on each of the two islands.

Two other Haijiao submarines quietly appeared.

Su Wanqing and Lin Kang appeared in the sky above the two sides of the island.

"Attack with me!"

Su Wanqing shouted, and light condensed in her hand, transforming into a slender light sword.

"Attack!"

Lin Kang spoke succinctly, clapping his fists together, his entire body covered in a dark armor of qi and blood.

behind them.

Twenty thousand soldiers from each side surged out like a flood bursting its banks.

These soldiers were equipped with relatively light gear and focused more on speed and agility.

The main force of the island's ghosts has been completely drawn away by Chu Kuanglan, who is facing them head-on, and Wei Banmeng, who is about to arrive.

The defenses on both flanks appeared relatively weak.

Su Wanqing and Lin Kang encountered almost no significant resistance and successfully led their troops to land.

And like two red-hot daggers, along the edge of the island.

It swiftly thrust into the rear and flanks of the army of ghosts.

Cut off, flank, harass, and eliminate key targets.
Their mission was to prevent the enemy from coordinating their efforts and completely dismantle their formation.

Jiang Qi's battle plan was now perfectly in place.

A trident-like offensive.

This plunged the formidable pseudo-royal army of ghosts into unprecedented chaos and passivity.

It was crushed head-on by the torrent of steel.

The two flanks were quickly penetrated.

The entire defense system began to collapse at a visible rate.

at the same time.

On a high, black, bony cliff on the island.

A group of people were frantically setting up various filming and recording equipment.

"Quick, quick, get me the tripod! The lens! Point the lens at the beach! That's where the fighting is fiercest!"

"Xiao Zhang, what the hell are you spacing out for? Drone! Launch the drone! I need an aerial view!"

"Hua Jing! Just keep shooting at General Chu! He's the fiercest on his side!"

Chen Tao, the leader of the war correspondent team, was frantically setting up the heavy recording device base while giving instructions with spittle flying everywhere. He was sweating profusely and constantly cursing under his breath:
"Damn it! Weren't the ghosts here supposed to be the elite of the elite?"

"Didn't they say this war was going to be incredibly difficult?"

"It feels like the equipment isn't even set up yet, and the battle is almost over?! How are we going to write a report?! Say that our war correspondent team can't even keep up with the battlefield?!"

The other team members around them were also extremely busy.

His face showed a mixture of anxiety and amusement.

Hua Jing had already locked her telephoto lens firmly onto the most dazzling crimson figure on the beachhead.

In the scene, Chu Kuanglan is seen tearing through the enemy lines at the Heavy Armor Group.

With the pressure greatly reduced, they were now in the midst of a fierce battle.

Hua Jing couldn't help but smile as she steadily controlled the camera.

Capture every moment of him.

Her best friend, Arlene, seemed even more greedy.

She operated three floating, automatically tracking cameras: one to provide an overview of the entire operation, and another to closely follow the overwhelming advance of the heavy equipment group.

Another vehicle was following Su Wanqing's unit, which was nimbly maneuvering on the flanks.

At the same time, she was also cautious.

Focusing a high-sensitivity wide-angle lens.

They quietly aimed at the calm sea behind them.

Although Fang Qingyu made it clear that he would not participate in this operation.

But what if?
If they manage to get the shots but fail to capture anything, it would be a huge loss.

This is a lesson learned in the Arctic.

"Hurry! Each group, report! Is the signal connected?!" Chen Tao roared.

"One set is OK!"

"The second set of images is stable!"

"Three drones have taken off! Signal is good!"

"Group Four, Arlene! What are you doing, staring blankly at the sea with that wide-angle lens?! Are there any fish?!"

Chen Tao caught a glimpse of the scene with Arlene and jumped up in anger.

Arlene didn't have a chance to explain.
boom! ! !
A terrifying, muffled explosion.

It came from the sea behind the island without warning.

All the war correspondents who were setting up equipment and adjusting lenses, including the cursing Chen Tao and the focused Hua Jing, suddenly turned their heads.

Looking in the direction of that terrifying sound.

All that could be seen was the sea surface that Arlene's camera hadn't intentionally captured.

A crimson beam of light, indescribably brilliant and violent, ruthlessly tore through the thickest darkness before dawn.

It emerges straight from the deep seabed.

boom! ! !
The seawater was instantly evaporated and displaced.

The beam of light pierced the sea surface, its momentum undiminished, and stabbed straight into the leaden-gray sky.

A crimson flame exploded at the top of the pillar of light.

Transforming into a sky full of fiery streams, like the most dazzling fireworks, they splashed wildly across the sky just before dawn.

Dawn was struck by this blow from the deep sea.

They brazenly brought it forward.
