Colonia Storm Tour

Inside the cockpit of the Stormship, the pale-skinned female pilot greeted death with an emotionless gaze and face.

BOOM!!!

The roaring missiles instantly blasted the Stormship's cockpit and engines into pieces, and the magic power, now deprived of engine system control, immediately went out of control, causing a massive explosion.

Boom!!!

The remaining hull of the Stormship was immediately blasted into more fragments in the explosion, scattering in all directions. The Stormships located on either side of the destroyed Stormship were briefly bombarded by debris and shrapnel from friendly warships and booming missiles on their respective sides.

"We have shot down three Stormships."

Odin reported to her the results of the Roar anti-aircraft missiles. They had deployed three Roar anti-aircraft missile clusters on Totoa Island, so shooting down three Stormships was a natural outcome.

The Stormship's pilots, unfazed by the friendly forces being shot down by anti-aircraft missiles, remained steadfast and continued advancing, preparing for long-range bombing.

"It seems these Stormships are as fragile as models. Just this many Roaring Missiles can penetrate any field and destroy the warships. It seems they made a big compromise in terms of armor when building the Stormships, otherwise how could they be so easily shot down by anti-aircraft missiles?"

Although Alice said this, she knew very well that the enemy would not let her Roaring Missiles hit the warship so easily next time, and would definitely try to intercept the incoming Roaring Anti-Aircraft Missiles.

If there is enough time, we must replace the warheads of the Roaring Missiles with some more appealing warheads, such as Iron Curtain pulse warheads, plasma warheads, or nuclear warheads.

She had already begun to consider what would be the best replacement for the warheads of the roaring missiles, so that even if they intercepted anti-aircraft missiles, they would still be harmed by them.

"Odin, continue with the tactic of concentrating firepower on one target. You need to control those roaring missiles to strike in multiple waves from multiple trajectories, keeping them busy and disorganized."

This method is currently the most effective way to reduce the probability of a roaring missile being intercepted, by using multiple trajectories to attack a single target from multiple directions.

"Yes, Master."

After Odin responded, a brand new holographic projection appeared in front of Alice. On this holographic projection was a larger storm warship, and around this storm warship were five magicians who had been seen in Tiangong City and were emitting magical and spiritual energy fluctuations that were similar to non-human elves.

"Master, this Stormship is different from the other Stormships. It did not directly engage in combat, and there are five unnamed targets around it. The type of unnamed targets is very similar to the targets we saw at the small airport in Tiangong City. The magic and spiritual energy fluctuations are almost the same."

Just now, Odin used the name of the Stormship, which was originally an unknown warship, as the name he had heard from Alice.

"Hmm... With such lavish and flashy decorations, it must be the flagship of the DEM commander in charge of this battle. It even has guards around it, as if it's afraid others won't notice it."

Alice immediately tapped the button on the holographic projection in front of her, and released her hand after completing the operation.

"Although I really want to take down that flagship and end this battle quickly, Lin the Madman isn't here yet, and the Valkyrie battalion is still resting because of the high-intensity fighting and training. We can only wait for our artificial elves to come down. For now, let's deal with these attacking forces and wipe them out so we can see how they fight."

The moment she pressed that button, numerous specially designed miniature mass projectors rose from beneath the floor and launched their "cargo" into the air through electromagnetic acceleration orbits.

This cargo is undoubtedly the "Exploding Bee," a unit that the Foehn has repeatedly proven effective. These Exploding Bees will gain sufficient acceleration and then activate their plasma ramjet engines to dive down from high altitudes towards the Stormships. It's unlikely that simply relying on roaring missiles will cause the enemy commanders to panic, but with the addition of the Exploding Bees, things will be different.

These Burst Bees, under Odin's control, are more cunning than most human pilots, more agile than anti-aircraft missiles, and just as powerful.

The Bursting Bee, launched by the miniature mass accelerator, was naturally spotted by the opposing Storm Battleship, Magician, and Wraith.

"The Foehn has launched more Burst Bees towards us. Be prepared to intercept the missiles and Burst Bees. The Nighthawk fighter has already warped off."

Kresa detected a large number of incoming Burst Bees and Roaring Missiles using its shipboard radar.

"Nighthawk fighter jet successfully performed a warp jump."

Eighteen F-117A attack aircraft were launched from random areas surrounding the Kermantia-class Stormship and appeared in the skies above this battlefield.

It is now particularly suspicious whether DEM has proactively pulled out these fighter jets, which were originally destined for aircraft retirement homes and military museums, to modify them.

In short, these aircraft that were originally consigned to the dustbin of history may have become deadly under DEM modifications, or perhaps because the abandonment of radar stealth technology has allowed these aircraft to no longer be limited to carrying only two missiles or aerial bombs in their bomb bays, but to be equipped with other more common weapons.

"Nighthawk Fighter Team A, intercept the Furnace's Burst Bees. Don't let those drones get close to our Stormship."

Kresa gave the order to the Nighthawk fighters that had just folded in.

"Yes, Kermantia."

After the Night Hawk squadron leader responded, the Night Hawk, aided by the random field, soared into the sky with a speed that was inconsistent with its aerodynamic shape, which was sacrificed for the sake of stealth. It intercepted the Bursting Bees.

Without exception, the pilots of the Nighthawk fighter jets were all young women with pale skin and lifeless faces. As soon as they saw the target appear in the activity circle on the HUD, these young women immediately pressed the cannon button.

The side panels on both sides of the machine immediately moved away, and two bright blue beams shot out from the runway, instantly blasting the Burst Bees that had not had time to dodge in a straight line.

In the brief moment when one Night Hawk fighter opened fire, the other Night Hawk fighters also opened fire to shoot down the Burst Bees, completely ignoring the roaring missiles that followed the Burst Bees as they swooped down on the Stormship from above.

A massive light show began from multiple directions of the Stormship, while the so-called half-elf magicians also used their beam guns to intercept the roaring missiles.

"Master, DEM warped into a modified F-117A attack aircraft to carry out an intercept mission, targeting the Burst Bees that destroyed our Stormship."

Odin immediately reported the information obtained from the Exploding Bee's optical lens and radar to Alice.

"Sure, that's very GLA."

Alice made an OJBK gesture with her left hand, while her right hand, holding the same teacup as Haha's, trembled slightly.

"GLA??"

Odin had never heard of GLA and was therefore puzzled.

"Odin, you don't know? It's a long story, but I'll just give you a brief explanation. This is a terrorist organization that modifies and assembles outdated and broken items into various weapons. They're even more rudimentary than the things Rushdie created for the Scorpion Organization."

Alice reset her fingers and then tapped the button on the holographic projection in front of her.

"I see, it has already been entered into the database."

Odin seriously accepted Alice's simple explanation and entered it into the core database.

"Getting back to the main topic, today I, Alice, am going to teach you what FIMBA means in DEM."

Alice even rolled up her non-existent sleeves in a rather pretentious manner, but all she could do was roll up the bandages on her hands, which were actually bandages for chuunibyou (middle school syndrome).

Once the orbital module beacon, placed on the critical path and in the center, receives the command to begin operation, it immediately releases invisible electromagnetic waves from its top to initiate communication with the orbital module in orbit.

Upon receiving the call signal from the orbital module beacon, the orbital modules launched from the moon and arriving in orbit immediately began their descent.

These orbital modules, along with those used by cavalrymen, pikemen, and drones, are larger, so the flames produced by the aerodynamic heating effect of these modules entering the atmosphere are more pronounced.

As the orbital module descended to the sky above the orbital module beacon, the top cover of the orbital module immediately opened, and a Raven drone painted with a foehn-inspired design was naturally ejected from the orbital module.

Thump!

As the orbital modules crashed to the ground, the nano-recovery drones released from the regeneration chamber swarmed toward the orbital modules awaiting disintegration, while the raven drones carried inside the modules, still burning, entered combat altitude.

Raven drones—these are the imaginative products that Alice tinkered with at the Antarctic and lunar bases.

The Raven drone's creator is my favorite unit because I love the sound of the hunter missile; it sounds exhilarating, exciting, and satisfying. Moreover, the Raven drone can also be made by the Foehn wind, and it has even more functions.

I'll finish the second update this afternoon or evening. I only have two days for double updates. If I get more votes, I might consider extending the double update period. As for the hate mail... Emmmmmmmmmmmmm...

Chapter Forty-Eight: Obituary of the Deceased Cherry Blossom Dance (III)

"Koresakmantia, Foehn winds have dropped a new batch of never-before-seen aircraft via orbital airdrop. The purpose of these aircraft is unknown."

Torias Tiprath reported everything she had seen to her superiors.

"Be vigilant against these unknown aircraft and be prepared to intercept any possible counterattacks they may launch."

Koresa looked at the Raven drone in the distance through the ship's radar and cameras, puzzled. There was nothing on the aircraft that could be identified as a "gun muzzle".

For this aircraft that appeared to be unarmed, Kressa could only issue warning commands to guard against possible changes.

"Yes, Kermantia."

"Torias Tiplas replied."

Torias led her four sisters, dragging the phantoms created by their own movement, to a position they deemed more suitable to intercept any potential attacks on the flagship.

However, the raven drones wouldn't be so foolish as to approach these guys who seemed to be high-ranking Templars, even though they did have hunting missiles that threatened warships and wraiths.

After moving a certain distance, the Stormship entered the positions of the attack plasma fortress artillery positions, the drone garrison on the first critical path, and the second path.

"DEM's Stormships are in battle position. Let's send our Ravens to give them a big surprise."

Alice used the EVA interface to position the Raven drones in three locations, covering various areas. She then deployed point defense drones. To reduce design difficulties, these point defense drones adopted the architecture of the Shrike air defense drone and could perform mobile defense tasks by following the Raven drones, instead of remaining stationary like in the original version.

"The last batch of Raven drones on orbit has arrived."

Odin pointed out that the number of these Raven drones is currently small, and they are still in experimental production, so only 27 Raven drones can appear on the battlefield of Totoa Island.

"Oh."

Alice controlled the last wave of arriving Raven drones to fill the gaps in the newly formed Raven drone defense line. To deal with this enemy that relies on Stormships for sieges, the most important part of T's urbanization is the Raven point defense drones.

"Eyes in the sky."

After the Raven drone uttered a monotonous deployment voice according to its programmed settings, two Shrewpoint defense drones popped out from the multi-purpose exit and circled the Raven drone at a very slow speed.

Just as the Raven drones' Shrike Point defense drones were ready, Coresa saw that those strange-looking aircraft only released two small drones to hover around her, simply keeping watch before ordering the Stormship to open fire.

Following instructions from the flagship behind her, the female pilot of the DEM Storm Battleship pressed a glowing button on the control panel in front of her to lock onto the Iron Dragon tanks that were cheerfully firing Iron Curtain shells.

Compared to the Protoss pilots who had to wear heavy protective suits to avoid being electrocuted, the female pilots of DEM in front of them were only wearing a bodysuit and had no other protection. This was because the stormships they created did not have enough energy to run around on the hull.

Just like a real storm warship, a high-density energy projectile entirely formed of magic is created from the "muzzle" and then fired under the control of multiple devices.

When these energy projectiles, which had been invincible since the start of the battle, were fired at the Iron Dragon tank position, their fates took a completely different turn when they encountered the Shrike Point defense drones launched by the Raven drones.

The raised disc beneath the Shrike Point Defense Drone next to the Raven Drone, like a spinning wheel, fires out a large number of lasers in a short period of time.

The high-density energy projectile, which was hit by the point defense drone's rotating laser show, was immediately detonated in mid-air, releasing its full power.

After that brief but dazzling blue flash, the magic power formed by the energy blast burst outwards and spread. This kind of attack that hit the air was meaningless to the stoker who was at a safe distance.

Whether in the Command & Conquer series or Comedy Contest 2, you can see point defense lasers intercepting missile-like objects without causing an explosion, and even energy blasts do the same.

Intercepting missiles and rockets can be somewhat understood as point defense lasers incidentally detonating the fuses, preventing the missiles and rockets from detonating. However, intercepting energy blasts without triggering an explosion is more "scientific."

A round of long-range bombardment by the Stormship was easily neutralized by the Shrike Point defense drones released by the Raven Drones.

BOOM!!!

Amidst the enemy magicians, spirits, and nighthawk fighters' frantic pursuit and interception, the Roaring Missiles and Bursting Bees successfully pierced through the random area of ​​a Stormship and destroyed it.

The number of stormships on the attacking side, DEM, has been reduced from 24 to 19, including the losses just now. However, the fewer stormships the enemy has, the easier it is to protect them, because there are fewer stormships to watch over, which means that defense will be relatively easier.

"If they don't find a way to deal with the Shrike point defense drones launched by our Raven Drones, then they need to prepare other siege weapons or have a greater number of Stormships to overwhelm the interception capability of the point defense drones launched by my Raven Drones."

Alice chuckled as she picked up her teacup, took a sip of water, and looked at the fleet of DEM storm warships that had temporarily fallen silent. At the same time, she glanced at the countdown in the lower right corner of the EVA interface.

"Estimated time of landing for the orbital module: 5:00"

With just 5 minutes remaining, the orbital module carrying the artificial intelligence will be able to land on the orbital module landing platform.

Meanwhile, Kreshakmandia, observing the intercepted and detonated energy blasts, concluded that without destroying the drones that fired the laser-intercepting energy blasts, the armed hovercraft and Immortal Vanguard assault mech units, lacking siege unit cover, would suffer heavy casualties and be unable to complete their mission. They only had the following solutions.
