Colonia Storm Tour

As Lin Haiyuan spoke, he picked up his spear and flew into the sky above the sea off the island.

"Oh!"

Gardenia looked full of energy and flew with Lin Haiyuan into the sky above the island's outer sea. Then Charlotte and the other Wind Magicians followed, forming pairs and keeping a sufficient distance between them to prepare for battle.

Meanwhile, in the command center of the final stronghold of the underground base in Antarctica, Alice turned her deep purple eyes to look at the three battleships sailing steadily on the screen, a smug smile on her face.

The three battleships were unaware that a Black Moonwing transport plane, temporarily converted into an electronic stealth reconnaissance aircraft, was circling overhead and spying on them.

"Odin, Plasma Fortress Cannon 1, lock onto the New Jersey; Plasma Fortress Cannon 2, lock onto the Conswell; Plasma Fortress Cannon 3, lock onto the Iowa."

This time, Alice didn't choose the target herself, but instead had Odin do it for her.

"Target locked..."

Odin held Alice's waist with both hands as she sat on his lap—Alice, who had a completely loli-like figure, had no problem sitting on Odin's lap at all.

However, this situation also turned what should have been a serious and proper command and operation into a complete mess, because the scene was more like a mother with her daughter, and the daughter pointing out what she wanted in the cupboard to her mother.

Alice might not realize this, while Odin is fully aware of it, but for her, once she's in work mode, it doesn't matter whether the bun has meat on the pleats or not.

Under the command and control of radio waves from afar, the three plasma fortress cannons began to rotate their turrets in unison.

The central energy flow controller in the quadrupedal base begins to supply power to the turret rotation mechanism of the plasma fortress cannon through energy conduits.

To support this "big head," which is the massive plasma railgun turret, the "neck" corresponds to the turret's rotating mechanism, which is also quite large, and there are also obvious energy conduits at the positions corresponding to the four-legged base.

The turret of the plasma fortress cannon's super plasma railgun rotated, emitting a very loud mechanical sound carrying electrical current.

However, contrary to what Colonel Jack and Chief Benjamin had imagined in the command post, the turret of the plasma fortress cannon did not rotate jerky as expected; instead, it rotated very smoothly and naturally.

The Black Moon Wings transport aircraft, temporarily converted into an electronic reconnaissance plane, flew slowly and covertly in the sky under the cover of a mind illusion device, continuously uploading the precise dynamic coordinates of three targets.

These precise target dynamic coordinates are sent to the fire control system of the plasma fortress cannon and converted into fire control data that can ensure a 99.9% hit rate, and then the firing parameters are continuously corrected.

The three plasma fortress cannons have each been assigned to a target, and these targets are arranged in a long, serpentine formation, with their sides facing Yost Vandak Island.

Within the fire control system's field of view of the plasma fortress cannon, a large, dynamic crosshair had already encompassed the USS Iowa, USS New Jersey, and USS Wisconsin.

A large amount of electricity flows into the energy conduit in the turret through the central energy flow controller, and then the corresponding plasma generator inside begins to work rapidly to generate plasma that meets the requirements.

As the heavy, gradually sharpening charging sound of the plasma fortress cannon grew louder, the massive pincer-shaped muzzle of the "Avalon" super plasma railgun's turret began to flicker with plasma light like will-o'-the-wisps in a desolate graveyard. Meanwhile, the pale blue capacitors inside the turret base, turret, and barrel began to radiate a slowly increasing pale blue glow. The most crucial component system on the entire barrel was the particle acceleration thruster.

This particle acceleration thruster, integrated into the massive cannon barrel, is one of the biggest supports for the entire plasma fortress cannon's 210-kilometer range.

"Target locked, Level 1 container charging..."

Odin reported to Alice, whom he was holding in his arms.

The first pale blue energy conduit on the plasma fortress turret, near the two antennas, is emitting an even brighter glow.

Meanwhile, the three battleships, which had turned sideways to unleash their full firepower against the enemy, also began to get busy.

"What is that giant pincer-like thing?! That's the target! Sound the battle alarm! Clear the deck! All personnel to combat stations!"

The DEM captain on the command tower shouted, and with the urgent and piercing battle alarm, the sailors on the three Iowa-class battleships put on their life jackets and helmets and went to their respective combat posts.

Thanks to modernization and the addition of the SPG-55F 127mm gun aiming radar, AN/SPS-67 ground search radar, and AN/SPQ-9 sea surface search/fire control radar.

Both DEM and the U.S. Navy are able to complete the tedious tasks of target acquisition, locking, aiming, and calculating firing parameters more efficiently than in the past.

The three plasma fortress cannons were each assigned to a battleship, and each of the three battleships was assigned a strange device called "Big Pliers".

For DEM, although we don't know what these things are used for, judging from the flashes at the front end, they are definitely not good things.

Within minutes, the crew completed the aforementioned tasks.

"fire!"

The captain roared at the top of his lungs, and the others followed suit, opening their mouths wide and shouting back.

Then, the three triple-mounted MK740 6mm naval guns at the bow and stern once again demonstrated their firepower as battleships to the world after a long absence.

The sheer force of the three 406mm naval gun turrets firing in unison under the control of the extension device was astonishing, unlike the staged scenes in movies where they just stuffed some propellant into a blank and fired a blank (some of which were actually live ammunition).

After the first shot, not only did the nearby sea and decks temporarily become a silent world, but the crew, who were only interested in having their own fun and disregarded the lifespan of the gun barrels, were also filled with propellant. So, in the eyes of the Black Moon Wing electronic reconnaissance aircraft, they could see a scene that battleship enthusiasts would recognize.

The sea surface near the cannon muzzle was dented by the muzzle shockwave, which was like being hit by a heavy hammer. Moreover, these dents caused by the shockwave overlapped with each other.

The entire battleship was moved several centimeters in the opposite direction of the gun muzzle due to the recoil generated by the firing of the large-caliber naval guns.

Since there were no battleships or other sea targets of similar size to engage them, these three battleships were equipped with high-explosive shells, which reached a muzzle velocity of more than three times the speed of sound when fired from their guns.

Meanwhile, in the command post, Director Benjamin slammed his fist on the table and shouted, "Activate the Golden Palace Manifestation Device, deploy the Free Domain!"

An invisible, arbitrary domain instantly enveloped the entire island from the research facility within fractions of a second.

"Level 1 container fully charged, Level 2 container charging..."

Odin reported in a completely emotionless voice.

The first energy conduit on the plasma fortress cannon's turret has completely transformed into the shape of an incandescent light bulb, and the brightness of the second energy conduit is also gradually increasing.

Flying at several times the speed of sound, 406mm high-explosive shells whistled and crashed into the random area where the Golden Palace display device was deployed.

The sharp roar and the huge explosion completely shrouded the side of the island facing Ellington Piris Island in a thick, gray-black fog, and the Random Domain was also thoroughly shocked by the salvo from the three battleships.

"Tell me quickly about the Golden Palace revealing device!"

"Supervisor Benjamin shouted."

"Report! The Golden Palace display device is functioning normally, and the random field remains intact! The explosion has been successfully contained within the random field!"

The technicians at Ratatosk spoke excitedly.

"Very good! Pay attention to data collection and the Golden Palace display device. If anything goes wrong, no one will be able to go back to their hometown to get married."

Benjamin nodded in satisfaction.

"Yes!"

"The Latatosk technicians responded."

Meanwhile, Lin Haiyuan and Youhua Zhizi, standing in the sky, watched from a safe altitude, just like the other magicians, as the 406mm shells struck the random area.

"Without the protection of the random field, our defenses there would have been destroyed by this round of shelling."

This is the assessment given by Hua Zhizi after witnessing firsthand the explosion caused by a 406mm high-explosive shell hitting a random area.

"If our defenses and detection systems weren't still not fully in place, these battleships wouldn't have had any chance to get close to us at all."

Charlotte blinked her emerald green eyes and looked into the distance: "Those DEM magicians really did choose to guard the airspace above the warship to prevent us from attacking."

“Isn’t that great? Charlotte, the side that launches the attack will actually be at a disadvantage. Even if there is danger, we can hide behind the deployed random area with our backs to the island. Now we have the plasma fortress cannon. As soon as the plasma fortress cannon fires, DEM will soon have to change its battle plan to attack.”

Lin Haiyuan analyzed.

"Yes, yes, yes, it will be quite dangerous for us to charge directly into the enemy's lines. In addition, some of us will also be tasked with destroying warships. It seems like we will be too busy to handle everything."

Milia kept nodding her head.

At this moment, Odin in the final fortress command center announced, "Level 2 capacitor fully charged, Level 3 capacitor charging..."

On the DEM side, after the battleship's lookouts and radars confirmed the expected result that the shelling had been blocked by random fields, the DEM captain waved his hand to signal for a continued salvo.

To ensure a better effect in destroying random areas, all battleships will fire simultaneously according to orders, rather than fighting independently.

With the deafening roar of naval guns, 406mm high-explosive shells once again slammed into the random area, causing as much shock as ever.

"Level 3 container fully charged, Level 4 container charging..."

In Odin's eyes, the third energy conduit at the rear of the plasma fortress cannon's turret was already completely incandescent, and the brightness of the fourth energy conduit was steadily increasing.

The pincer-shaped barrel of the plasma fortress cannon is only dimly lit at the front end, but it will light up again once the level 4 container is fully charged.

At this moment, William Hansen, who was standing above the radar on the head of the USS New Jersey, frowned.

“My dearest Misha, I have a bad feeling.”

William Hansen spoke seriously, using Cormier's enhanced nickname.

"Hey! I told you not to call me Misha, you have to call me Cormier! Get to the point! What ominous feeling you have?"

Cormier looked at William Hansen, who habitually called her by her nickname, with great displeasure.

"Okay, my little Misha~"

William Hansen responded with a smile.

"you………………"

Just as Cormier was about to erupt in anger, William Hansen quickly spoke up to calm the ruffled mother bear.

"Ahem, don't be angry, Captain Cormier. Now I'll get down to business. I feel I need to get away from our battleship. My intuition tells me our battleship is in danger."

This businesslike tone quickly calmed Cormier down.

"What? Ratatosk and the magicians of the Foehn have attacked?"

Komir bluntly inquired about the details of his premonition.

"It shouldn't be. Anyway, my intuition is always right. Let's get away from our warship quickly."

William Hansen said this while forcefully grabbing Cormier's hand and flying towards the higher sky.

"Hey!!"

Cormier tried to break free from William Hanson's grip, but he was stronger than her and she couldn't actually launch an attack that would hurt her. She was pulled up to a mid-altitude height in the sky by William Hanson.

"Level 4 container fully charged, Avalon main cannon ready to fire, Master..."

Odin reported.

At this moment, the inside of the plasma fortress cannon's barrel, the front end, and the four energy conduits on its back all radiated pure white light, and the plasma halo generated when the muzzle was charging also flickered more intensely.

"It's time to say goodbye, DEM idiots, launch!"

Alice shouted in a sweet voice.

"Yes, Master."

After Odin finished speaking,

With a deafening roar and a flash of lightning, a thick, angular beam of light, green on the outside and white on the inside, shot out from the pincer-shaped barrel of the plasma fortress cannon at an unparalleled speed, carrying the high-temperature plasma confined within by the magnetic field towards the target.

This plasma beam, accelerated by a long-range, high-efficiency particle accelerator, traveled 5 kilometers in an instant, then pierced through and burned the armor with destructive force before heading straight for the warship's bridge.

The bridge and other superstructures were completely burned to ashes by the ultra-high temperature of the plasma during the first impact of the plasma beam. All the people and materials on it, along with any materials hit, were burned and disintegrated into countless microscopic particles.
