Colonia Storm Tour

"Yes, Master."

All anti-aircraft firepower from Colonia's flank air base simultaneously turned and launched an attack on the Destroyers, Decayers, and Skybreakers that had just warped over.

Clearly, the effect of concentrating firepower on the front was astonishing. Under the barrage of missiles, plasma barrages, and barrages of air pressure, the warships of the Ring Messenger were quickly shattered by the incredible firepower and exploded into a mass—for these warships, which were no different from Protoss warships, such violent explosions with severe hull damage were perfectly normal.

Although genuine Cadaline crystals were not equipped on the warships, the "Virtual Realm Crystals," which serve the same purpose, could also cause a massive explosion if they were damaged or if the energy within them was not properly channeled.

With the visually stunning "light spears" joining the attack, a light show composed of three dazzling torrents of particles completely cleared the airspace in front.

The light spears on the Phoenix Flame warship still use plasma beams as their means of attack, while the Colonia flank air base directly uses particle beams, resulting in a significant difference in power.

This is also because the Colonia's flank air base can accommodate a more powerful array of "particle light spears" emitters.

Within seconds, the airspace ahead was cleared, confirming that the flight path was clear and no one dared to block the advance of Colonia's flank air base.

The entire Colonia's flank airbase distorted in the detector's visuals into a long, elongated green noodle, contracting and accelerating into the night sky, leaving behind only a flash bright enough to illuminate the blazing city of Tokyo even more.

This enormous flash of light was particularly dazzling in the night sky, clearly visible not only throughout Tokyo but also in the surrounding areas.

"Agent, the unknown human ship has warped away, and we have lost our target."

The Crystal Core of the Virtual Realm reported.

"You run faster than a rabbit! Once I've dealt with this ocean planet, even if you run to the ends of the universe, I will make sure you and your civilization are completely destroyed because of your actions!"

The agent could only utter a harsh remark in frustration, and, feeling extremely displeased, squinted at the raging fire in front of Tokyo.

"Keep sending assassins and hunters to search the headquarters of Wangzhong Heavy Industry. We still don't know if those damned Cheng Yaojin have taken what we want. Burn the entire Tokyo to the ground!"

The agent waved his hand dismissively.

"Yes, Your Excellency."

The Void Crystal Core warped up more ground troops to search for Zao Heavy Industries, which was not being targeted.

The agent did not respond, but looked at the other two screens with projections from the Void Realm Crystals. The battles in Hokkaido and Kyushu were going much better than in Tokyo. The troublemaker who suddenly appeared did not show up in Kyushu or Hokkaido.

Seeing the city ablaze, the Sakura Empire army and civilians fleeing in terror, and the Sakura Empire air force being utterly defeated, the Executor's mood, which had almost plummeted to rock bottom, improved slightly.

"Yeah, it feels so good to bully weaklings."

The agent seemed satisfied with this but nodded.

The price of this pleasure was that the entire Sakura Empire literally burned to the ground, and the news that the Sakura Empire, which had always given people the impression of a mysterious, imperial nation, had been attacked by the Ring Envoy fleet, quickly spread throughout the world through the radio waves of the survivors on the Sakura Empire.

The rapid fall of the Sakura Islands plunged all nations on the planet into uncontrollable panic. Everything happened so suddenly that they had no time to mobilize their armies to fight back. Worse still, even if they did mobilize their armies, they were faced with an opponent whose technological level was far superior to their own, and all they could do was turn pale and grit their teeth and charge forward.

Whitedra State – White Eagle Federation – Washington, D.C. – White House: As night falls in America, another emergency meeting begins here.

In the conference room, the wheelchair-bound "good old man" Roosevelt was discussing with his staff how to deal with the "Ring Messenger" fleet.

"Your Excellency, we need to manufacture more and larger cannons to have any chance of confronting the Ringed Messenger's fleet. Our bullets are useless against them. Only artillery in our army can fight against the Ringed Messenger's forces. We have already learned this from the records of our battles against the enemy within Te Aca."

George Kahn spoke with great emotion.

The only weapon they have that can effectively counter the Ring Messenger forces is artillery, and they need to have a sufficient number of cannons that are concentrated and effective to achieve any real results. After all, these cannons are far inferior to the siege tanks of the Terran Empire. Don't be fooled by the crude appearance of the siege tanks; they use 90mm twin-shot plasma cannons and, once deployed, have 180mm shock howitzers. Their power is incomparable to that of ordinary artillery.

"The naval girls... the caliber of the ship's guns they have seems sufficient, but considering that our largest caliber anti-aircraft gun is only 40mm, we may need to equip ourselves with anti-aircraft guns of 100mm or more to be effective, Your Excellency."

Claude A. Swann was puzzled by this, because he had never considered using large-caliber naval guns as the main means of air defense; the largest caliber air defense weapon was a quadruple 40mm Bofors anti-aircraft gun.

Only neighboring Wesker, Zao Heavy Industries, and Buruk have developed anti-aircraft guns ranging from 76mm to over 100mm. Currently, the most feasible options seem to be Wesker's 102mm and 113mm anti-aircraft guns.

His Excellency the Secretary of the Navy doesn't take the 76mm anti-aircraft gun seriously; he sees the 76mm caliber as nothing more than a tickle to some alien adversary.

On the sea, the naval girls could put up a fight against those warships, but on land, they were helpless. His Excellency the Minister of the Navy had no hesitation in believing that those four-legged monsters could break through the girls with two shots. Who knows what kind of weapons they used, that they had the ability to make a big hole in a solid reinforced concrete building with a single shot.

In fact, His Excellency the Minister of the Navy has an even more pessimistic idea: the White Eagle Federation should retreat to the Hawaiian Islands as soon as possible. Whitedra Continent is bound to fall sooner or later, so it's better to go to the ocean and fight a guerrilla war.

At least the girls could use their physical advantages to wage guerrilla warfare against the enemy on the ocean, but how long that could last was anyone's guess...

"Then we will have to buy their anti-aircraft guns from Wesker. Right now, we don't have enough time to urgently develop a design for an anti-aircraft gun of 100mm or more. The entire Federation is in a precarious situation."

Finance Minister William Hardman Woodin had already foreseen a rather large expenditure, and fortunately, the Congress, which is backed by the financial groups, wouldn't cause any trouble at this critical time.

"Recently, the invasion of the alien Ring Messenger has caused the crime rate in the Federation to soar. We must defeat those alien bastards who are not even sons of bitches in order to curb the crazy behavior of the people caused by the coming apocalypse."

Homer Cummings brandished the documents in his hand angrily. As the Federal Attorney General, he was acutely aware of the pain caused by the Ring Envoys. Even though they had never launched an attack on the White Eagle Federation's homeland, the almost uncontrollable horror propaganda by those damned media outlets and the territorial fall and rapid defeat of Iron Akka and Sakura Empire made those who only knew bits and pieces and those who knew the whole story uneasy.

Faced with these almost indestructible alien warships and the sudden attack of ground troops, it seems that they can hold out for a certain period of time. As a result, those desperate people and madmen with ulterior motives who are calling for annihilation have begun to cause trouble. Not only is the National Guard working beyond its capacity, but the courts of various state governments are also working overtime.

People below are now hoping that the higher-ups can come up with a solution, otherwise... they'll probably have no choice but to declare a strike and demand enough pay for their hard work.

"What's worse is that our agriculture is also starting to be affected. Panic has now spread to many farmers and ranchers, who are reducing the sale of their crops in an attempt to hoard them in order to survive in the apocalypse. This phenomenon is developing further."

Agriculture Minister Claude Cardgar was troubled by the behavior of everyone hoarding food to protect themselves. This hoarding was bound to lead to rising food prices, and now that food prices were rising, how could the domino effect it would trigger plunge the entire White Eagle Federation into greater chaos?

"The stock market is in turmoil, and many people are selling their stocks. We need to stabilize the stock market, Your Excellency, otherwise the next Black Friday could very well be when the Ring Messenger's warships are riding over our heads and deliver the heaviest blow to the Federation."

Commerce Minister Daniel said urgently.

Faced with this terrible situation, the "wheelchair-bound good man" Roosevelt was greatly troubled. Any one of the aforementioned issues alone would have been enough to keep people busy discussing countermeasures, but now it was as if the sky had fallen and everything had collapsed on his shoulders. How could anyone bear it?

The military aspect was something Roosevelt had considered before his arrival, and after consulting with others and scientists in the country, the answer was inevitable.

The "blue shield" that appears before each enemy they face is an energy shield effect. This energy shield can absorb a large amount of their attacks. Their machine guns and cannons have little effect on these shields. Without a sufficient number of them, it will take a long time to destroy the enemy's energy shield. Whether they can send a large number of propeller fighters equipped with 20mm cannons to attack enemy warships is a question mark.

Because the Ring Messenger also has fighter jets that are 10,000 times more advanced. Those fighter jets can easily chase after a large group of fighter jets. However, your fighter jets are powerless against those fighter jets. The other side is not only equipped with energy shields that are difficult to break, but also has bizarre maneuverability that does not match its shape. It is no use to any of their fighter jets.

The opponent doesn't need two shots to hit; just one beam hit is enough to destroy the entire fighter jet, while even if your own fighter jet tries to ram it, it will be difficult to bring the opponent down.

They are fighting against an adversary capable of navigating the universe and waging space wars. The technology they use, from ground troops to airships, is unmatched by any nation on Aquamarine. Scientists predict that the technological gap will take them hundreds of years to close before they can truly fight the Ringed Envoys.

In short: "Screw it, there's no hope, just wait to die."

Even though the outcome is inevitably hopeless, sitting idly by and waiting for death is not humanity's forte, and they are still searching for ways to effectively counter the Ringed Messenger fleet.

There's an interesting aspect to this understanding: they can confirm that these guys didn't come from the moon.

"Those alien lunatics from who-knows-where didn't even talk to us before they started destroying everything they saw. We couldn't do anything other than war."

Kold Hell stared at the latest intelligence report, his head spinning. The report's title was concise yet chilling: [The Ringed Envoy Fleet has been fully mobilized; the Sakura Empire Islands have completely fallen.]

Diplomatic tactics that humans are adept at using are completely useless against extraterrestrial madmen. In fact, diplomacy is utterly meaningless for organic life forms when facing any Stoneheart Extinction Being.

Needless to say, the messengers of "The Realm of Emptiness - The End of Reincarnation" have no diplomacy whatsoever, only destruction and a tiny bit of submission. This tiny bit of submission comes from the growth gained through devouring. Whether this tiny bit of submission will even appear is still a question, because the Ring Messenger is not a distorted spiritual consciousness that gathers the spiritual energy of a nation or planetary colony like the "Punisher". The growth gained from absorbing population is irrelevant.

If the person controlling this virtual force wasn't a transmigrator who just wanted to acquire ship girls for fun, this planet would have long since become a virtual world of no return.

Just like dealing with a life-or-death crisis and various domestic problems, Teaka, who should have been the villain or protagonist of this world, is also troubled by the same issues, but in a somewhat comical way.

Thud—thump!

The sound of the office door opening and closing, accompanied by hurried footsteps, signaled Hermann Figo's hasty entry into the conference room.

Hans Kleibers, on the other hand, assigned the locations of the virtual realm and the homeland defense line of Iron Akka on the map to the head of state, who was wearing gold-rimmed glasses.

"Initially, we thought the enemy might break through the defenses, for example, by advancing along the entire front and then surging towards us like a tidal wave. But the activities of the Ring Messenger were beyond our expectations. They went directly to the Sakura Islands in the east and have now caused the entire Sakura Islands to fall."

Hans Kleibers withdrew his hand from the Sakura Islands.

"Are our naval girls ready for battle?"

Head of State Alisa made several hand gestures while holding red and blue pencils.

William Burgdorf glanced at Hans Kleibers; the reality was completely different from what the Führer had imagined.

"Your Majesty, Count Zeppelin and the others..."

Hans Kleibers didn't dare finish his sentence.

Alfred Ert delivered the bad news: "Our girls are not yet familiar with the new equipment made using Siren technology, and are not fully prepared for battle."

Hans Kleibers, standing to the side, trembled slightly, as if he wanted to speak but dared not.

The leader's left eyebrow twitched, and his hands trembled slightly as he took off his gold-rimmed glasses and placed them on the map in front of him.

Then the leader turned his head, knocked on the door where there were no other irrelevant people in front of him, and roared.

"That's why I'm so indignant! He's so indignant, he's like an itch in the sun, he's spewing filth! This week, Bernuk clearly told me that Count Zeppelin and her women were able to fight using the new equipment, but you're telling me they're not even fully familiar with the new equipment made using Siren technology? Is this how things have come to this? Those engineers and technicians at Bernuk and those generals are all disloyal and cowardly bastards!"

The Führer waved his right hand, holding a red and blue pencil, and pointed it directly in the direction of Berluq.

"Your Excellency, I will not allow you to do this..."

Alfred Ert is trying to argue that this is not their fault.

"You shut-in, I'm telling you, if you get in my way, you're trash!"

The leader's roar echoed from the conference room.

"Your Excellency, this is going too far."

Alfred Ert continued his defense.

"Not all shit is filthy, those engineers and generals are just trash from Iron Ark! I'm so angry! They call themselves engineers and generals just because they spent a few years in academy, but all they've learned is how to eat with a knife and fork and how to deceive their superiors! You're completely hindering my actions! All you've done is hold me back from saving the country! I should have dragged all those high-ranking officers out and fed them to Stalin, just like Steinline of the Northern Union did!"

President Alisa slammed her right hand heavily on the tabletop covered with the map and then swung it forward.

It is worth noting that Stalin was indeed a dog, and a Siberian Husky owned by Führer Alyssa.

A group of large men were so ashamed of being reprimanded by the seemingly petite President Alisa that they could hardly lift their heads, a scene that looked rather comical.

"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and mobilize them! Do you want to wait until the Ringed Messenger's fleet is constantly in the skies over Berlin before you realize what's happening?"

President Alisa threw down her red and blue pencils one last time and left the conference room surrounded by her trusted subordinates.

Meanwhile, at 10 Downing Street, although the performance in the Prime Minister's meeting room wasn't as spectacular as in Berlin, there was still much discussion about the seemingly insurmountable opponent, the Ringman. The head of these troublemakers was also racking his brains about how to deal with the messy situation at home and how to defend against the enemy.

Meanwhile, in the English Channel, a naval officer in a pristine white uniform adjusted his peaked cap and gazed at the French shore, which was completely out of sight.

"My little bear Misha, where are you? Don't leave me alone and be blown up into this world by a nuclear bomb."

William Hansen G. Hamilton made an exaggerated expression of pain to express his longing for his good brother and sister.

In sunny Hawaii, Komir El Nisha W. Ornovsky White sneezed loudly, causing the massive ship's rigging to sway.

Who's talking about me? Could it be William? Cormier looked around suspiciously.

But apart from the lively and adorable elementary school students, there was no sign of the familiar goofy knight with dull blond hair.

"What's wrong? Why do you suddenly look so furtive?"

Bumblebee patted her on the shoulder in a hearty tone.

"I felt like someone was calling my name just now, so I looked around carefully."

"Kermir (the company) replied with his arms crossed."
