Doomsday: I Build a Space Fleet

Chapter 280, 1st Shot Killed

Platinum carefully observed the large silicon-based creatures guarding the massive war behemoth. After confirming their positions, he returned to the smoke and began adjusting his own position.

After some probing, Platinum found the shortest route, but one that was completely undisguised.

She then decisively overloaded the mech's propulsion system and used the electromagnetic cannon on her back to fire several high-explosive rounds with timed fuses forward.

"Boom! Boom!"

When the shells explode, they produce smoke and a fireball. With her precise control, the smoke and fireball from the exploding shells always act as a shield in front of her as she charges forward.

Under the cover of artillery fire, the mechs forced their way to the outskirts of the mine, arriving at a distance of 1.2 kilometers from the massive war behemoth.

[Mode switching complete. Adsorption-type molten metal bomb loading complete.]

The moment the prompt appeared, the overloaded thrusters instantly spewed out azure plasma flames, forcibly stabilizing the mech in place.

"Buzz—"

After an extremely sharp buzzing sound, a molten metal bomb shot out from the fireball of the high-explosive shell and landed precisely on the main gun barrel of this massive war behemoth.

"boom!"

The high temperature generated by the explosion of the thermoelectric bomb successfully melted part of the gun barrel, temporarily disabling its offensive capability.

At the same time, the mech hovering on the open ground was simultaneously attacked by multiple large silicon-based creatures. Multiple large-caliber kinetic energy projectiles flew in from different directions, completely tearing the mech that had completed its mission into pieces.

[Fleet data link construction complete, flagship online, information synchronization begins.]

[Information synchronization complete, target locked, cross-border artillery fire ready.]

On the flagship 500 kilometers away, Lorraine had already obtained all the information through a data link improved based on a quantum communication system, and the composite electromagnetic main gun, which had already completed energy storage, was in place.

"Fire!"

After a low hum, a sub-caliber bullet flew out of the flagship's main gun.

The bullet scorched the air as it flew toward the ground, leaving a crimson trail.

[Expected to hit in 156.3 seconds.]

On the ground, faced with the sudden sense of crisis, the large war behemoth's biological radar failed to locate the source of the danger, so it could only try to evade it in vain.

However, Xu Lingyu, who was piloting the assault ship, would not let it hide in the sea so easily. The laser main cannon under the bow switched back to the irradiation mode and kept slicing across the side of the behemoth, trying to cut off its limbs and disable its mobility, while using the laser pointer to continuously shine on its head.

Meanwhile, four WF01 drones that had completed resupply returned to the battlefield to join the mech squad in hunting down the remaining silicon-based creatures on the ground.

Sixty seconds after the launch of the sub-caliber armor-piercing projectile, 16 Changkong-20G missiles equipped with armor-piercing warheads entered the terminal attack phase, targeting the behemoth on the ground.

Feeling the missile hurtling towards it, the behemoth could only try to intercept it with the two 80mm electromagnetic cannons on its back, but there was also an assault ship harassing it frantically from the side.

Faced with such a flexible target, the already damaged behemoth simply could not keep up with the speed of the assault ship.

Unfortunately, the behemoth revealed a weakness and experienced the power of the assault ship's laser main gun's continuous blast for a short period of time.

Subsequently, it could only reveal its weakness once again.

He turned his most severely injured left foreleg toward the assault ship, while simultaneously turning his guns to intercept incoming missiles from the sky.

As the war behemoth launched its anti-air interception fire, Xu Ling, controlling the assault ship, also attacked the war behemoth's left foreleg.

Three seconds later, more than ten specially made interceptor missiles split open in the air, intercepting all 16 Changkong-20G missiles in the sky.

Finally, he rolled on the ground in a disheveled manner, thus escaping the assault ship's continuous attacks.

When he stood up, his left foreleg, which was so severely fused, could barely bear any weight, and he could only limp forward.

Twenty seconds later, the second round of 16 Changkong 20G missiles was again detected by the bio-radar. This time, the same tactic only intercepted 15 missiles. The missed missile, guided by laser, accurately struck his left hind leg.

More than 300 kilograms of shaped charge explosives converged into a jet of high-temperature metal, tearing a large hole in his left hind leg.

As a result, this massive war behemoth could only spin around in place.

To avoid a possible strong counterattack, Xu Ling controlled the assault ship to retreat, using the ship's weapon systems to block its attempt to escape into the sea in the final 30 seconds.

Looking down at the massive war behemoth struggling to roll toward the sea, Platinum launched all the short-range missiles that had been loaded, targeting the behemoth's almost completely severed left limb.

To avoid the relentless barrage of missiles, the war behemoth had no choice but to lie prone, using its most robust back armor to withstand the incoming missiles.

After withstanding the missile, this war behemoth sensed the ever-approaching deadly threat. Seeing the sea that was no longer within its reach, it decisively shut down the nuclear-powered furnace inside its body and then turned its most sturdy back towards the direction from which the threat was coming.

Guided by the assault ship's lasers, the sub-caliber armor-piercing projectile launched from the flagship accurately struck the head of this war behemoth, and the suddenly shattered projectile completely destroyed its internal nervous system.

[Life signs have disappeared; battlefield cleared.]

"Platinum, how are things going?"

"Commander, no casualties. The humanoid mechs are completely destroyed. The Kheshig, Tengu, and Roy mechs have all been affected by electromagnetic interference of varying intensities, and their external armor plates have suffered varying degrees of damage."

"The assault ship suffered a strong electromagnetic pulse from the enemy, with a 57.2% damage rate to its main electronic systems and a 12.4% damage rate to its surface armor."

"call--"

Upon hearing Platinum's report, Lorraine breathed a long sigh of relief. As long as everyone was safe, the weapons and equipment could be rebuilt.

"You take control of the assault ship and land it on the spot. The flagship is expected to arrive in 25 minutes. Use the flagship's nanosystems to perform a preliminary inspection and repair on the assault ship first."

"clear."

Xu Ling then steered the assault ship toward the eastern urban area and docked it on the vast, flat salt fields.

After the assault ship came to a stop, Xu Ling manually shut down most of its systems and activated the ship's maintenance system.

[Self-check has begun and is expected to complete in 15 minutes and 48 seconds.]

While waiting for the encyclopedia self-check to complete, the six wolf-type mechs, together with the guard squad that had just been airdropped there, cleaned up the battlefield.

The guard squad is responsible for gathering the silicon-based bio-remains on the ground and connecting them to the winches of the mechs. The powerful wolf-type mechs are then responsible for dragging these remains to the designated location.
