Colonia Storm Tour

Walker.com AI still proposes launching an orbital strike satellite network.

"Then let the Griffin Special Operations Ship deploy the Uranus satellite network."

Lin Haiyuan nodded in agreement.

The special operations ship, carrying two complete satellite networks, then continued to deploy the Uranus satellite network as instructed.

A holographic projection unfolded around Lin Haiyuan, displaying a complete global image of "Aquamarine Star" along with a long list of other information.

After the global scan was completed, Lin Haiyuan gained a more detailed understanding of this ocean planet once again.

"It's the same as the Azur Lane world I know, yet different in that the ship girls don't fight each other."

Lin Haiyuan has not been able to discover the situation of Chapters 2 through 11 of the game from the information he has been able to gather so far.

"There is a greater than 90% chance that this bizarre world war did not break out because of the threat of the virtual realm."

Walker.com's AI assessment of the warships of the ship girls can be gleaned from this statement.

"Although it's a bizarre and incongruous system, it can still cause deaths. We can no longer obtain more useful information from radio communication."

Lin Haiyuan put Bai Luochang down, whom he had been holding ever since he transmigrated.

"Master, are you planning to go and investigate personally?"

Walker.com's AI clearly guessed what he was thinking.

"There is no more professional intelligence officer on the ship than me. At least no one here can pry open people's brains and read their memories to obtain intelligence as easily as I can."

He tapped his temple.

"So, Master, where do you plan to begin gathering intelligence?"

Walker.com's AI needs to develop a comprehensive plan for his deployment.

"The capital of Sakura Empire is Tokyo. We can just arrest the country's high-ranking officials and question them. As long as their memories haven't been turned into nuclear weapons, we're guaranteed to get useful information."

Lin Haiyuan labeled the image with "Tokyo".

If it really is about nuclearization, Lin Haiyuan wouldn't mind doing the same things the US military did to this Japan that's using the Sakura Empire name.

"Walker AI, send the Jackal vehicle over. I need to go to the equipment room to change into the Altaïr combat suit and prepare for the Leap of Faith."

"Yes, Master."

Walker.com's AI is confident in Lin Haiyuan's safety because the Lazarus system and Phoenix Nest are on the ship. Even if he is unlucky enough to have his body explode, he can be revived by taking a bath on the ship.

After boarding the Commander-type Jackal vehicle, I arrived at the equipment room and changed into the Altaïr combat suit (black). With the hood up, I looked very similar to the Water-Soluble Second Grandfather. However, there was no Assassin's Creed game in that world, so no one would have guessed that this was the Second Grandfather.

Once again transported to the hangar by a vehicle, Lin Haiyuan boarded the specially modified Quetzalcoatl "Leap of Faith," which was also used as a special fighter jet.

This Quetzal is much larger than the normal Quetzal because the cyclone engine has been removed and replaced with a miniaturized plasma thruster, a warp drive, and a set of space-related systems.

Lin Haiyuan did not choose to bring two guards, but Walker.com AI still had Bai Luozhang and Shining Fox, whom he had been holding, in place on the Leap of Faith in case of emergency.

Once the hatch was opened, the two plasma thrusters at the tail of the Quetzalcoatlus during the "Leap of Faith" emitted brilliant plasma tail flames, propelling the Quetzalcoatlus rapidly upwards from the hatch like an arrow.

"Coordinates have been determined, the course has been entered, and the warp drive is ready to be activated at any time."

The airborne AI gave a report.

"Alright, initiate warp jump, move out."

Lin Haiyuan pressed the button to initiate warp jump.

The entire Quetzal entered the warp space amidst the dissipating green stream, and the next moment it flew out with a flash of light over Tokyo, the capital of the Sakura Islands.

The moment Lin Haiyuan's Wind God Pteranodon flew out of the warp space, it immediately became invisible within the mental illusion field.

"We've arrived at our destination, preparing to exit... Huh? Holy crap!"

He saw many red dots on the radar next to him that were practically a form of mental pollution, indicating that there were many enemy units active near the Quetzalcoatl, and their numbers were constantly increasing.

For a moment, Lin Haiyuan thought that the identification of hostile/neutral/ally had not been adjusted properly.

"Warning: Warships identified as the Ring Messenger have entered Tokyo airspace, and their warships are continuously jumping into the battlefield."

Walker.com's AI issued a warning while simultaneously transmitting the satellite's view to the display.

In fact, even without WalkerNet AI transmitting satellite images, Lin Haiyuan could see War Prism, Destroyer Battleship, Storm Battleship, Phoenix Fighter, Sky Overlord Carrier, and Prophet Ship, painted in pure white and pink, suddenly appearing in the night sky above the city below the Wind God Wyvern with a series of thuds. Each warship flashed briefly as it flew over.

The bewildered citizens of Tokyo looked up and saw the golden fleet, which seemed like a divine punishment.

After a moment of eerie silence, the city erupted in heart-wrenching screams and a flurry of panicked Japanese voices as people fled in terror, sounding like something out of a comedy space movie.

Yes, the enemy is coming like a landslide. Unfortunately, Lin Haiyuan wouldn't add a sentence like the nurse did, followed by "Leave it to me," and then call his Colonia flank air base to handle it.

He had no reason to help the Sakura Empire deal with the Ringed Envoy fleet in their capital, and he was already outmatched. Of course, he could solve it, but he would have to deal with everything on the Sakura Empire at the same time.

The Destroyer and Stormships immediately began wreaking havoc. Chain beams, like lightning bolts, ignited a raging fire that engulfed an entire street as people bounced around in the fragile wooden houses, creating a miniature fire-man troupe in the process.

High-energy particle bombs can not only create huge craters, but also have an ignition effect comparable to the Destroyer battleship. Given enough time, the entire city will be engulfed in flames, just like the Great Tokyo Fire.

The foundation of the Six Meridian Divine Sword, the Prophet Ship, was like a searchlight in the sky, activating green pulse beams that swept across the terrified crowds fleeing the streets.

The essence of 【Phoenix Wings Soaring】 is that the Phoenix fighter uses a graviton beam to lift the vehicles, and then easily crushes them with the ion beam cannons on its wings.

Perhaps because they hadn't anticipated that the capital would be directly attacked by a warp, the fan-shaped machines that had mustered their courage and moved forward were late in arriving and launching an attack on these alien warships with their pitiful weapons.

Meanwhile, army troops with various anti-aircraft guns came to resist, and attacked the Ring Messenger Marines who rushed into the city and wreaked havoc.

Those Forks, Stalkers, and Immortals equipped with plasma shields and pink psionic blades have been released through the deployed War Prism.

This once again proves that it is foolish to try to fight an army from the interstellar age with a Type 38 rifle and a Type 91 light machine gun.

The bullets only made a few blue lattice ripples as they struck the plasma shield, and had no other effect. They were then sliced ​​to shreds by the enraged attackers with their psionic blades.

The only thing that could pose a relatively effective threat was the artillery. The shells from these artillery pieces could take down one of the vulnerable forks, but the artillery on the positions only achieved a few results before being annihilated by a salvo from the Stormships with their deadly long range, leaving only large craters in the positions.

Among the arriving troops were what appeared to be the new Type 97 tanks. These Type 97 tanks fired a shot at the Hunter, which immediately dodged the shell.

The Immortal Dad came from behind, and with a deafening roar, the Phase Shatter Cannon fired a pure energy-encased antimatter projectile that struck the tank, causing a violent explosion. Both Type 97 tanks exploded and disappeared instantly.

The Ringed Messenger fleet was clearly not stupid; they knew that the priority was to deal with the artillery of these technologically strange natives.

Boom! ...

At this moment, a purple prismatic crystal fell from the void and crashed heavily through the ground. Because of the sudden, unimpeded descent, the seemingly flimsy prismatic crystal shattered, scattering many crystal fragments everywhere.

“Master, according to the descriptions of the natives, when the Ring Messenger fleet arrives, crystals will fall from the sky and then shatter and scatter around. The specific function of the crystals is still unknown. We need some samples to obtain more information.”

Walker.com AI provided the tip.

“They couldn’t have just thrown the crystal down and smashed it randomly; there must be some other purpose behind it… But I have to wait, because there are too many prophet ships in that area.”

Lin Haiyuan has not been discovered yet because he is far away from the Prophet Ship, which has anti-stealth capabilities. Even if he were to go invisible now, he would definitely be discovered.

While Lin Haiyuan stood by and watched, the city was completely engulfed in flames amidst the chaos.

The main anti-aircraft force of the Sakura Empire consisted of propeller-driven fighters equipped with two 7.7mm machine guns or two 20mm cannons that would make men and women weep. While courage is a good thing, their courage was in vain.

The Phoenix fighters, who were still playing around with their vehicles, noticed these native opponents who were coming to challenge them, so they immediately rushed over and used their ion cannons to blow up these slow propeller fighters one by one.

Meanwhile, the Skybreaker aircraft carriers launched interceptors that relentlessly bombarded the propeller-driven fighters with plasma beams.

The army troops that rushed to the rescue were also routed by the simple combination of Fork, Hunter, and Immortal. As for the anti-aircraft guns with a certain range, once they were fired, they would be quickly detected by the Stormship and blown to smithereens.

Sakura Empire's anti-air forces were like cold dishes on New Year's Eve when facing this Protoss-class opponent—they were practically useless. Apart from causing minor ripples in the commonly equipped plasma shields, they were completely destroyed. The ground forces fared even worse; they couldn't even launch an attack, and under the Immortal's attacks, they couldn't even hold their ground. Retreat was not guaranteed.

"Oh, it's starting...maybe we could do a video of Japanese-style ton yakiniku (roasted pork belly), but they burn it too cleanly, and I'm not interested."

Lin Haiyuan smiled helplessly, knowing that his plan to capture high-ranking officials of the Sakura Empire had failed.

Now that the Circular Messenger fleet is right in front of them, those high-ranking officials and nobles, unless they've lost their minds, certainly won't stay in Kyoto, which is turning into hell. As for whether they can escape, that's another matter entirely.

Lin Haiyuan then received follow-up information from Walker.com AI.

"Master, the Ring Envoy's fleet is attacking Sakura Empire from three sides. Hokkaido, Kyushu, and Honshu have all been subjected to heavy attacks. Although they are putting up a desperate resistance, they are isolated and without support. The Ring Envoy's fleet will soon destroy them."

Walker.com AI first reported on the situation of the Cherry Blossom Valley where Lin Haiyuan was located.

"Hmm, very good. We can start considering planting the sun on the Sakura Islands to destroy part of the Ring Envoy's fleet."

Lin Haiyuan still had the Flame Cat Cart and the "Yatagara" intercontinental ballistic missile left at the air base on the flank of Colonia. Now there was enough material to bomb the entire land of this ocean planet without any problem.

"If we use intercontinental ballistic missiles, it is very likely that the Ring Messenger will notice our presence. Please be cautious."

Walker.com AI believes that adversaries have the capability to analyze missile trajectories to detect their potential presence.

"That's true. So only the Sakura Islands suffered? Are the Eastern Empire and other countries alright?"

Lin Haiyuan was concerned about Donghuang, whom he had a good impression of, because Taiyi Continent was also under attack.

"No Ring Envoy warships were found operating within the territory of Donghuang. It is speculated that this attack was only aimed at Sakura Empire. Once Sakura Empire is destroyed, the next target will most likely be Donghuang."

Walker.com AI can foresee a similar scenario.

"Hmm, Rudy, Pisada... its advantage lies in its simplicity."

Lin Haiyuan rubbed his chin in thought for a while, then shook his head. To counter such a golden fleet-like opponent, it would be best to use a fleet to fight against it. However, Lin Haiyuan only had one Colonia flank air base, which would be too risky to use against such a golden fleet-like opponent. So he immediately rejected the idea.

"We can't save the Sakura Empire. Our main fleet isn't even here fighting."

Lin Haiyuan lowered his hand from his chin and looked at the map beside him.

"Walker AI, have you learned about the existence of Zao Heavy Industries from communications with the indigenous people in the Sakura Empire region?"

Needless to say, he intended to see what good stuff was inside Zao Heavy Industries.

【Zao Heavy Industries】is the supplier of Sakura Empire crates in Azur Lane. Oh, I misspoke, it's the supplier of tech crates. Because they can yield Sakura Empire equipment, Lin Haiyuan wanted to see what good stuff Zao Heavy Industries had that was worth taking to the Chronia flank air base.

If there were equipment to manufacture ship girls, that would be even better. Lin Haiyuan directly called over the air base on the flank of Colonia and teleported away, taking the manufacturing supplies with him.

Hey, this sounds like a robber taking advantage of someone's misfortune. Dude, think positively. Rather than becoming junk under the destruction of the Ring Messenger, it's better for it to continue to be useful to us, right?

"The location of Zao Heavy Industries has been confirmed, but strangely enough, the Ring Envoy's forces did not wreak havoc on Zao Heavy Industries; instead, they have brought it under control..."

Walker.com's AI delivered a surprising message.

The location of "Zao Heavy Industries Tokyo Headquarters" is marked on the HUD, which is a few kilometers away from the Leap of Faith.

"Huh? Take control of it? Which building will these things that like annihilation control? Interesting. By the way, are there any crystal shards there? We can fish them up while we're at it."

Lin Haiyuan, needless to say, would brave even the most dangerous and dangerous places.

"Yes, a large number of crystal fragments are evenly scattered throughout Tokyo. Master, you just need to use a special container to collect them."

Walker.com's AI has seen via satellite that the purple crystal fragments are scattered everywhere.
