Colonia Storm Tour

Charlotte looked solemnly at the enemies coming from all directions.

"However, the lack of support from the magicians of our Ratatosk allies doesn't mean we're defenseless... Trust your hearts, trust your strength, Valkyries, unsheathe your weapons and let those infamous DEM magician teams see the power of the Beneath Wind magicians! Kill!!!"

With the spirited and inspiring Gardenia, she led the charge, gripping the Aroundight, towards the two teams of DEM magicians besieging the Valkyrie camp.

"kill!!!!!!!!!"

The Valkyries of the Valkyrie camp roared with earth-shattering cries, exuding an aura and fighting spirit comparable to the numerically superior DEM magicians on the opposite side. They raised their double-edged swords, greatswords, and two-handed short swords respectively, and then roared as they charged towards the two magician teams with an unstoppable and fierce momentum.

"Although they are all traitors, their morale and fighting spirit are no less than ours. They did not lose heart or lower their fighting spirit because they lost their captain's support and were outnumbered. They are admirable opponents. But why did they betray the company?"

The Templar captain was puzzled by this, but despite her doubts, she showed no mercy to her former comrades who had joined the enemy, the Burning Wind, and become adversaries.

The battle in the sky, fought by the numerically inferior Valkyrie battalion, quickly escalated to a fever pitch, and the DEM magicians who still held these former comrades in contempt immediately suffered a silent defeat.

That is the AW-110 [Herlock] CR-UNIT, which has been enhanced by Archer-level genetic modification and is now much more powerful. Through long-term training, combat experience, and barometric apostle training, these DEM magicians who have joined the service of the Foehn Wind are no longer what they used to be. They can not only fight against many enemies with the power of a magician, but also use the ubiquitous airflow on Earth as their weapon and armor to defeat their enemies.

The air pressure balloons and vacuum fields made things very difficult for the two DEM magician teams. After the air pressure balloons exploded, they created a vacuum field within their area of ​​effect, where there was a short period of lack of air for breathing. If the DEM magicians flew over or into that area, they would quickly experience the feeling of suffocation, which would affect the performance of their various abilities. However, these Valkyries, who had been trained and honed in actual combat, were able to seize the opportunity to throw air pressure balloons together to create a larger vacuum field, and then force the unsuspecting enemies into the vacuum field to eliminate them. The magicians who got close obviously could not gain any advantage in the vacuum field created by the air pressure balloons that the Valkyries could spread around themselves. As a result, they were suffocated and had to withdraw from the attack.

"Hahahaha, the magician and the shipborne drones are both tied down. Let's see what ability the Foehn Wind has to resist our Bondsky attack!"

James A. Pattington laughed triumphantly. In his mind, the air defense capabilities of the Foehn Fleet came entirely from the shipborne drones on the Leviathan mothership.

But is it really as this arrogant and impulsive DEM airship captain thought?

"So that's what DEM was planning. But they're still too naive."

Alice chuckled softly.

Xiao Yuanxun stood calmly at his post, watching the Bondskis rushing towards the flagship Black Whale on the monitor.

Then, after the Swordfish frigate, which was fighting not far from the Leviathan mothership, detected the DEM's Bondsky on its air-to-air radar, the main air defense drones of the Foehn Wind were immediately launched into the sky from the high-speed Swordfish frigate. The two auxiliary Leviathan motherships located on the inner side of the fleet, with their sonic radar arrays, did a great favor for these Shrike air defense drones that took off from the Swordfish frigate.

After being corrected by the central operating system, these Shrike air defense drones were assigned to their respective targets and continuously acquired wind data, making the six Golden Arrow rockets carried by the drones even more lethal.

The addition of the Shrike air defense drones to the aerial battlefield completely overwhelmed the Bondskis, as these ghostly drones continuously launched rockets to hinder and attack them, and their sheer number was enough to overwhelm the Bondskis with the sheer number of rockets.

"Report! The Foehn Fleet has suddenly launched more drones! A total of 80! They are attacking our Bondsky!"

The crew immediately reported the matter to Colonel James.

"What? More drones have taken off? Did those drones take off from the aircraft carrier?"

Colonel James, who was still feeling smug, was immediately dumbfounded when he heard about this.

"That's not the case. According to the flight path of the drones displayed by the shipborne radar, there is a greater than 95% chance that they took off from the Foehn frigates that are currently fighting our armed fleet!"

The crew reported.

"Does the Foehn wind also have a similar tactical reconnaissance node project plan to the US military, and have it been successfully applied to those frigates...?"

Colonel James immediately thought of a recent example.

"Damn it, damn it, damn it! This cunning shark had such abilities. Our intelligence... never mind, those good-for-nothings have no ability to infiltrate the Fenfeng."

Colonel James, extremely displeased, adjusted his slightly askew peaked cap.

"Captain Pattington, what should we do next to control Bondsky? Should we deal with those anti-aircraft drones and then search the aircraft carrier?"

The crew member controlling Bondsky asked questions.

"Getting entangled with those anti-aircraft drones is pointless. Tell Bondsky to ignore them and charge straight for the Foehn aircraft carrier. Once they're on the deck, those anti-aircraft drones will be helpless against them."

Colonel James's idea is quite good.

"Yes, sir!"

The crew immediately got to work on the control panel in front of them.

After using their palm-sized beam cannons to attack the Shrike anti-aircraft drones for a few seconds, the Bondskis abandoned the drones and ignored the Golden Arrow rockets and the railguns fired from the ship's railgun turrets.

If these Bondskies were to actually get onto the deck, neither the Shrike anti-aircraft drones nor the shipborne railgun turrets would be able to fire easily.

"Oh, that's a good idea, but does that mean there's nothing else on our warship? Stop launching carrier-based aircraft."

Alice smiled and shook the fingers of her right hand, then pressed several buttons on the holographic projection with her left hand.

"Flight deck closed. Iron Cavalry Team A, Long-Range Warrior Team A, proceed to the flight deck to engage the enemy."

Xiao Yuanxun remained calm as he gave the orders—now that the shipborne drones had been deployed, the flight deck did not need to be kept open, and closing it would also facilitate the movement and combat of the Iron Cavalry and Long-Range Warriors, while preventing those Bondskis from sneaking into important warship facilities to cause damage.

"Yes!"

With multiple responses, the steel gates of the island superstructure leading to the brain of this deep-sea behemoth were immediately opened, and iron cavalrymen wielding 17.5mm super heavy machine guns and long-lance warriors holding supercharged rifles in one hand rushed out.

"Try this, DEM bugs!"

As soon as the Iron Cavalry appeared, they saw Bondskies descending from the sky under anti-aircraft fire. With the help of the built-in observation and aiming system of the mechanical powered exoskeleton, they aimed at one of the Bondskies.

Da da da da da da! ! !

As the resounding gunfire of the 17.5mm super-heavy machine gun rang out, 17.5mm machine gun bullets equipped with plasma warheads rained down on Bondsky's arbitrary territory, igniting streaks of plasma sparks.

However, each aircraft carrier carries only a small number of Iron Cavalry, just one squad of 10 men. They can only effectively destroy Bondsky by focusing fire on the same target.

Therefore, Bondski eventually rushed onto the deck of the Leviathan mothership and prepared to break through the defensive line formed by these iron cavalry and spearmen. The spearmen bravely charged forward and fought with the Bondski.

These Bondskies, facing the spearmen charging from the Leviathan mothership, naturally used their beams and missiles to deal with them.

However, these iron cavalrymen, who were on the same wavelength as the spearmen, immediately abandoned shooting at the Bondskis who were airdropping, and instead turned to destroy the missiles launched by the Bondskis.

Rat-a-tat-tat-tat-tat-boom-boom-boom!

The miniature missiles were destroyed shortly after leaving the random area under the barrage of bullets, and Bondsky himself was accidentally injured in the process.

However, those green beams are not something that plasma-tipped heavy machine gun bullets can intercept; the only way to stop them is through the long-range rifle warrior's own defense and speed.

The spear warriors, enhanced by their mechanical legs, ran with extraordinary speed, quickly reaching the Bondskis. After their reliable nanofiber armor was pierced by the beams, the spear warriors used their pressurized spears to unleash "wind blades," utilizing their speed and power to tear apart the Bondskis' less-than-magic-stable Free Domains. The Bondskis were then sliced ​​to pieces by these sonic wind blades enhanced by sonic devices.

Similar scenes unfolded on other Leviathan motherships, where the most basic and reliable Foehn infantry held their ground as the last strong line of defense.

At the start of every future military operation, I will create an unofficial mission loading screen to make it easier for readers to understand (humorous).

As for the battlefield screenshot in the lower right corner of the mission loading screen... that was just a random picture that was filled in, and it's basically unrelated to the chapter content, including those two or three places where unit icons should have been placed.

Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Path of Fear (IV)

"Captain, our Bondsky is facing fierce resistance from the Foehn Wind's powered armored soldiers!"

The crew could see the cavalry and spearmen fighting side by side through the footage transmitted from the camera on Bondsky's head.

"Those Foehn Marines on those aircraft carriers? Our Bondsky should be able to kill those empty shells in no time, right?"

Colonel James was not surprised by the appearance of the Foehn Infantry; he had seen those iron cavalry and spearmen in the footage.

The colonel seemed to regard the Foehn's mechanically powered exoskeleton as a fragile, gimmicky device.

"No, the miniature missiles launched by Bondsky were destroyed after they were knocked out of the field of fire by those heavy machine guns. Bondsky's beam cannot completely penetrate the mechanical powered exoskeleton and damage the soldiers inside!"

The crew members monitoring Bondsky reported the facts truthfully.

"Isn't this a problem of insufficient firepower due to a shortage of Bondskis? Haven't more Bondskis landed on the decks of those aircraft carriers yet?"

Colonel James frowned as he looked at the monitor in front of him. He remembered that hundreds of Bondskis had been brought along for this operation.

"Not yet, Captain. The Foehn's anti-aircraft fire is severely hindering our Bondsky's landing! Most of our Bondskys are burning and smoking in the sky!"

In the footage shown on the screen by the crew, Bondsky was almost unable to take care of himself after being hit by golden arrow rockets fired from the Shrike anti-aircraft drone launched by the Swordfish frigate, burning and smoking in the sky just as the crew had described.

"Looks like we need someone to draw fire for our Bondsky fleet. Now, notify the transport planes to drop those demolition maniacs onto the head of the Furnace Fleet, quick!"

Colonel James's superiors had anticipated the possibility of encountering strong anti-aircraft fire during the execution of the battle plan and had prepared various contingency plans to deal with the Foehn Fleet.

The airdrop of the demolition maniacs that Colonel James mentioned was one of the methods DEM had prepared.

"Yes!"

With the transmission of radio waves, the four C-130 transport planes that had been lingering outside the war zone received the airdrop order and turned to fly towards the location of the Burning Wind Whale Fleet. As for the lack of ground/sea navigation missions, there was no need to worry at all.

This kind of reckless or disregard for soldiers' lives in airdrops doesn't really care about accuracy. As long as the explosives maniacs on the transport plane are dropped into the designated sea area, that's fine. Plus, there's Bondsky navigation.

DiDiDi! The piercing alarm blared again from the command center and the warship CIC.

"Warning: Four DEM C-130 Hercules transport planes have been detected approaching the fleet! There is a 95% chance they are DEM airborne troops!"

Walker.net AI and AI Odin simultaneously issued warnings to the two commanders.

"Huh, what exactly is DEM trying to do? They actually want to airdrop troops over our heads. This is the ocean, not land."

Alice was surprised by DEM's unusual approach.

The Leviathan mothership's air defense radar also detected the Hercules transport planes flying towards them. Knowing that the fleet had no more anti-aircraft firepower to deal with these transport planes and airborne troops, Xiao Yuanxun immediately requested support.

"Calling Fengshen, this is Black Whale! All of our Shrike air defense drones have been used in the attack on Bondsky, and we now need more air defense support."

Xiao Yuanxun had absolutely no desire for those people airdropped from the transport planes to survive and reach the sea or jump onto their faces—the appearance of those DEM sea madmen proved that those who dared to accept such crazy missions were already abnormal, at the very least fearless madmen who had undergone memory-directed erasure insertion and brainwashing by the Memory Master and the Tower of Babel.

"This is Fengshen. Fengshen has received the message and is requesting air support from the Last Fortress."

After saying a few words, the nanobot Lin Haiyuan fell silent. At this moment, Lin Haiyuan was still engaged in a fierce battle with the two elite magicians, Cormier and William Hansen, and there was not much time to deal with command matters.

"Looks like her battle isn't going to be easy. Now let these DEM idiots witness the air support of the last fortress."

Alice spoke in a voice only she could hear.

Her hands were manipulating the air support units on the EVA interface, and these air support units were the tried-and-tested Burst Bees that she had always used. Now, Burst Bees were no longer exclusive to the Mad Shark Vanguard.

The Burst Bees, which had been waiting in the hangar, were pulled out by Alice in one go, totaling 48 units.

"This is the Witch. Calling Black Whale. Air support from the Last Fortress is expected to arrive in one minute. Burst Bee will take out those Bondskis and Hercules transports for you."

Alice gave Odin a wink as she spoke.

"Roger that!"

Xiao Yuanxun was relieved to hear that air support would arrive in one minute.

At an altitude of 10,000 meters above the Mechtooth Whale fleet, as the time-space crystal spheres of the two hyperspace teleporters on the last fortress emitted a dazzling blue light, 48 Burst Bees appeared in perfect unison at that altitude.

In order to descend as quickly as possible to support the attack on the enemy, these Bursting Bees immediately activated their plasma ramjet engines and swooped down into the sky as soon as they were teleported to an altitude of 10,000 meters above the Mechtooth Whale fleet.

The sheer force of these Burst Bees, trailing long green plasma tails, as they swooped down was astonishing; at high altitudes, the Burst Bees quickly reached their maximum speed of Mach 2.2.

The Burst Bees were divided into two groups due to their different missions: one group rushed directly towards the fleet, while the other group rushed towards the five DEM Hercules transport planes.

DEM's Notoria quickly detected the presence of the two-pronged Burst Bee formation via shipborne radar.
