Colonia Storm Tour

Lin Haiyuan himself was not facing a life-or-death crisis. The fact that Aquamarine Star had become a virtual world would not affect the safety of him and the air base on the flank of Colonia, so there was no need to rush into anything.

First, we need to thoroughly scan that floating continent to see if there's anything suspicious. Then, we should leave some satellites to observe that floating continent and decide whether to go looking for it based on the timing.

He didn't want to enter that place in complete ignorance and uncertainty in search of the woman named "Exile".

"Yes, Master."

Walker.com AI awaits Lin Haiyuan's mission on the Griffin Special Operations Ship. After completing the maintenance, it will immediately carry the satellite to Saturn.

Saturn in our solar system is 9.576 astronomical units away from the Sun, and 14 astronomical units away from the Sun. However, the distance between Aquamarine and Saturn has not changed much. The biggest change is only the distance between Saturn and the Sun.

With the warp drive currently at hand, the Griffin Special Operations Ship will reach Saturn in just a few minutes.

After Lin Haiyuan piloted the Griffin Special Operations Ship to the skies above the Beruk Corporation, he naturally used hyperspace teleportation to reach the outskirts of the company. Maintaining invisibility, he brazenly entered and exited the Beruk Corporation. Using his mental abilities, he read the thoughts of the employees and obtained the locations of the company's senior executives. He then went to find them and, taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, used his mind control to inquire about the location of the ship girl manufacturing equipment. Lin Haiyuan then erased some of their memories and released his mind control.

After locating the equipment in the storage room, the Griffin Special Operations Ship used a hyperspace crane to instantly transport all the equipment to the ship's warehouse.

And so, a case of ship girl manufacturing equipment disappearing without anyone noticing was born. What Lin Haiyuan had to do next was not only to take away the ship girl manufacturing equipment, but also to take away the ship equipment used by the ship girls for his reverse engineering and analysis.

Even now, Walker.net AI has not completed the reverse engineering of the ship girl equipment. If there are more samples for it to analyze now, the speed should be faster, and at least there will be no mistakes... For example, the original universality and compatibility are completely lost. If compatibility and universality are gone, then it is basically useless. There is no point in making a dedicated machine. It is best if it can be widely equipped.

Having secured the ship girl manufacturing equipment, the next step was to head to the warehouses containing the ship girl equipment. These warehouses also contained a large amount of military supplies needed for the ship girls' use, which Lin Haiyuan would not overlook either, as these military supplies were indispensable to ensuring the quality of life for these ship girls.

Human food is just a snack for them, not a staple food, just as we wouldn't consider cakes and pastries as a staple food.

After completely emptying a warehouse of supplies, Lin Haiyuan quickened his pace to mark the precise coordinates of the location of the Beruk Company, which had acquired the remaining Iron Aka, so that the intercontinental ballistic missiles could strike accurately and swiftly at the first opportunity, completely destroying those ship girl manufacturing facilities to prevent them from falling into the hands of the Ring Messenger.

Soon, news of the disappearance of the ship girl manufacturing equipment and the sudden disappearance of a large amount of military supplies from the Beruk Corporation reached the ears of President Alyssa. This caused President Alyssa, who had previously gloated over the sudden disappearance of Kloshid and Wesker of the White Eagle Federation and the Lion King, to immediately start speaking Chinese, leaving her group of trusted subordinates looking at each other in bewilderment.

However, they no longer had time to investigate the large-scale disappearance of equipment and supplies, because the Ring Messenger could no longer bear the loneliness brought by the silence and planned to give this world, which was about to enter the shroud of the Void Realm, a lively and booming party before it fell into eternal silence.

"Master, extremely strong warp signals have been detected over the territories of the Eastern Huang Ancient Kingdom, Iron Aka, Wang Shi, the Northern Union, and the White Eagle Federation. An astonishing number of Ring Envoy warships are warping over the skies of these countries, launching a massive offensive!"

Walker.com's AI suddenly emitted a piercing alarm sound.

Before Walker.com's AI had even finished speaking, from Berlin to London to Washington and then to the capital of the Eastern Huang Ancient Kingdom, countless Virtual World Mirrors, Sky Phase Fighters, Sage Ships, Destroyer Ships, Sky Overlord Carriers, and Decaying Ships continued to flash red light in the air. The density of these warships had reached an unprecedented level. It could be said that the shadows formed by these warships blocking out the sunlight meant that only very sparse sunlight could be seen.

The piercing air raid siren suddenly blared in all directions, reminding everyone to prepare for an impending air raid and take refuge or prepare for combat. But it all happened too suddenly, and there was simply not enough time to take effective refuge or prepare for combat. The cruel and merciless attack began immediately, and a death feast called the Harvest began.

The dark red beams emitted by the Void Crystal at the front of the Destroyer warship ricocheted off from one target to another until the energy of the jumping beams diminished to the point where they could no longer bounce.

This might be enough to withstand targets with light to medium/heavy armor for a while, but ordinary people with absolutely no armor would be burned to ashes by the intense heat from the beam energy. As for buildings, there's no need to say more. There are also more highly charged particle bombs and plasma beams bombarding from the air waiting to be dealt with, and then there will be ground troops that will make all the armies in the world feel hopeless.

The Mirror of the Void immediately unfolded, forming an energy field. Then, large numbers of Annihilation Warriors, Quadruped Hunters, Annihilation Vanguards, Annihilation Saints, Blessed Saints, Annihilation Apostles, Death Transporter Mechs, and Void Giant Mechs were rapidly teleported over and, together with the fleet in the sky, destroyed everything in sight that could be seen.

The Void Titan's four enormous insect-like limbs and astonishing height allowed it to scale cliffs, pass over units and small buildings, and sweep across large areas or single targets with charged explosive rounds and thermal ray guns, causing everything to burst into flames under the intense heat.

This surprise attack unfolded almost simultaneously, without any delay. Faced with such a direct and vital attack, ordinary firearms were merely a paltry consolation. Any counter-fire that could be barely contained was quickly crushed and destroyed by countless warships and the emotionless ground forces of the Ring Messengers. All prepared battle plans became useless at this moment. What results could be achieved next depended entirely on the performance of the scattered troops whose lifespans were only a few minutes. However, the result was clear: against an opponent whose entire army was equipped with plasma shields, human firearms of World War II level could hardly cause effective damage, and artillery that could not be concentrated could not pose much of a threat to these Ring Messengers. Moreover, the heavy energy bullets of the Decayer warships, which served as siege gunboats, would effectively level those positions or sporadic counter-fire.

Organized and resisting forces would soon collapse completely in the face of these Protoss armies. Their equipment was not on the same level as the Protoss armies, so they had no chance of winning.

As time goes by, everyone on this planet will soon fail. As for the ship girls created using Zentradi technology, even if they have a good foundation, they will find it difficult to fight to the point of being unable to win against their own World War II equipment and so many opponents. Moreover, the command structure will collapse as quickly as an avalanche.

The agent's intelligence wasn't offline to that extent; the first thing he would think of was to capture the leader first. It would be much easier to take down the boss and then deal with the unruly underlings.

Especially when they lost command from the rear, the ship girls could only quickly form their own teams and remain inactive. Moreover, a large number of Destroyer and Decayer warships had been proven to be unbearable for them. The only difference was that they would die from the slow pain or be decayed into a pile of indistinct debris by the decay cannon of the Decayer warship.

Whether it's the most basic destroyer or the king of the seas, the battleship and aircraft carrier, they are all the same in the face of the Destroyer and Decayer warships. In fact, the ship girls of the battleship and aircraft carrier will suffer more damage and are more easily hit because of their insufficient speed. On the contrary, the destroyers are very fast, but they can never keep up with the Hong Kong reporter and will eventually be unable to escape.

Meanwhile, at the Qingdao naval base, the four destroyer ship girls from Anshan, Fushun, Changchun, and Taiyuan, who had just gone out on a maritime patrol mission, also received a playback message from the naval base amidst the chaotic radio communication.

"Anshan, Fushun, Changchun, Taiyuan! We are under heavy attack from the Ringed Messenger warships. We need sufficient artillery support. Cease patrols and return to our positions immediately!"

The fleet commander's radio conversation within the base was filled with deafening explosions and the distinctive buzzing sound of beams of light.

She paused for a moment before quickly replying, "Anshan received, we will return to our post immediately."

Anshan did not expect the fleet of the Ring Envoy to arrive so quickly. Less than a few days later, they launched another attack, and this time they directly attacked the Eastern Huang Ancient Kingdom.

"It seems this day has finally come, and so quickly at that."

Anshan sighed and looked at her younger sisters behind her: "Fushun, Changchun, Taiyuan, do you remember what I told you before?"

"Yes!/I remember!/I know! I must protect myself!"

Fushun, Changchun, and Taiyuan answered in unison.

"Okay... Fushun, Changchun, Taiyuan, follow me!!!"

Anshan accelerated across the sea, turning towards the Qingdao naval base and leaving rapid ripples as it sped back, with the three ship girls, Fushun, Changchun, and Taiyuan, following closely behind.

While the four ship girls from the Eastern Huang Ancient Kingdom were preparing to carry out a ground support mission to try to shoot down the Ring Messenger warships in the air, ship girls from other countries had already entered into a fierce battle when the Ring Messenger fleet warped into the field and began to attack. The first to bear the brunt were the two countries of Wang Shi and Tie A Ka. Their biggest advantage in terms of terrain and territory was that it was convenient for the naval ship girls to provide support. The disadvantage was that when the Void World Butterfly Mirror warped into the battlefield, these Void Giants, due to their amazing height and long enough limbs, were able to step into the near sea and launch an attack on the ship girls.

The massive plumes of steam generated by the thermal beams sweeping across the sea surface were enough to keep each ship girl a sufficient distance from the Void Colossus. Unfortunately, the Void Colossus also had a long attack range, and sweeping "small targets" like ship girls was one of its specialties. However, the thermal beams could not ignite the sea surface to cause continuous burning damage.

However, their organized resistance is just like that of human armies on land; it's only a matter of time before most of them are wiped out and the organization collapses. Fighting alone will quickly become the norm among them.

This time, the Ring Messenger, now in a frenzy, doesn't care about the ship girls. As long as the planet is completely covered by the Void Mist, and the things that create the ship girls are found, it doesn't matter.

Compared to dealing with unruly and difficult-to-tame creatures, it's much easier and more convenient to create obedient ones using relevant equipment. Therefore, those ship girls don't enjoy the same treatment as the Sakura Empire ship girls when the Sakura Islands were attacked—being merely toyed with and then helplessly captured.

In fact, this treatment was never achieved. When they tried to do this to the four elementary school students, Urakaze, Isokaze, Hamakaze, and Tanikaze, Lin Haiyuan, who had been discovered, simply dealt with them and then ran off with the four Sakura Empire loli ship girls to who-knows-where.

Without a doubt, the agent was that "alien" who suddenly appeared out of nowhere and took away those ship girls, stealing his prey (women).

If the Colonia flank air base hadn't failed to appear, the Agent would have immediately summoned the Star Destroyer Fleet to destroy it and avenge his grievances.

"It seems it's time for us to go rescue them. Walker AI, mark where Laffey, the destroyer ship girl from the White Eagle Federation, is. I want to see if we can rescue her and the other White Eagle Navy ship girls and take them away."

Lin Haiyuan really liked the ship girl Laffey, so he specifically asked to find her by name.

WalkerNet AI, which is well aware of its commander's interests, immediately transmits the data needed for warp jumps and marked map locations for him to access.

"Okay, Walker AI, now launch the Three-Legged Golden Crow intercontinental ballistic missile and completely flatten the locations of Wesker, Buruk, and Crosted."

This was the first order Lin Haiyuan issued.

"Yes, Master."

Walker.com AI responded that the "Flame Cat Cart" three-purpose launch vehicles, still stationed in various locations on the Three Sacred Star Islands, immediately erected the ready-to-go Three-Legged Golden Crow intercontinental ballistic missiles. Then, the internal plasma rocket engines ignited, and the Three-Legged Golden Crow intercontinental ballistic missiles emitted a fierce roar as they flew vertically into the high sky. They then flew to their designated targets for "tactical nuclear attacks" around the world from their suborbital positions.

If those inside the company haven't escaped with their belongings, they will perish along with some of the ring messengers who attacked or controlled the company.

"The Three-Legged Golden Crow Intercontinental Ballistic Missile has been launched, Master."

Walker.com AI also displayed flight animations of several intercontinental ballistic missiles in a newly released holographic projection.

"Alright, keep a close eye on these four girls from Anshan, Fushun, Changchun, and Taiyuan. If anything goes wrong, immediately use Time Stop to send the Purifiers to bring them back to the ship."

After manually specifying the warp coordinates, Lin Haiyuan pressed the warp button.

The stealthy Griffin special operations ship was instantly stretched into a string of spaghetti in the visual sense and entered the warp space, heading to the designated coordinates at a speed faster than light.

"Death, destruction, end! Send all detected life to death! Search, destroy!"

The Proxy, indulging in the "Aura of the Round God," shouted maniacally. The carnage on the screen in front of him excited him even more. This was the emotional process he had to go through to become the messenger of the end of reincarnation: searching for life and then destroying and devouring their consciousness!

While these consciousnesses, devoid of any spiritual power, are of little use, they are a good option for strengthening the agent or sending them into the illusory realm to grant the "end of reincarnation."

The entire planet Aquamarine was once again plunged into a world war in a different sense, but this world war was more like an irreversible inferno engulfing the territories of all nations.

This ocean planet... seems to have no hope left.

In fact, regardless of whether there are psionic populations or not, the Void Realm will consume them to strengthen its fleet's combat power, and it's a percentage-based bonus...

There will be no double update today.

Chapter Eighteen: Vanishing into the Void (II)

Lin Haiyuan's Griffin Special Operations Ship burst out of the warp space in the blink of an eye, and immediately saw a particularly exciting scene.

Two air-phase fighters were chasing Laffey when suddenly, pure red light emanated from the wings and nose of the air-phase fighters. With a faint red ripple, Laffey, who was still fighting and running, was enveloped by a ball of transparent energy from the air-phase fighters and pulled into the sky.

"Why didn't we use the gravity beam to lift them up one by one when we were capturing those four Sakura Empire elementary school students?"

Lin Haiyuan believed that if the Ring Messenger had used the phoenix to chase after them, none of the elementary school students would have been able to escape.

"However, this actually makes things easier for me."

Lin Haiyuan's original plan to deal with these energetic air-phase fighters was to use the High Templar's Feedback skill to give them a taste of their own medicine—the Feedback skill was originally used by the Dark Templars of Sargeras, but later, for some reason, High Templars also started using this move.

"Time-space rift missile, target locked, launch."

Lin Haiyuan pressed the launch button.

A missile painted with the blue exterior and black interior abyss symbol flew out at high speed from the vertical launch unit on the back of the aircraft and accurately struck Rafi, who was being attacked by air-to-air fighters.

The time-space rift missile did not produce a violent explosion after hitting Raffi, but instead produced an effect that temporarily erased the current object from all time streams.

The hit Laffey instantly turned into nothing more than a transparent blue frame, as the negative ion beams from the air phase fighter all passed through Laffey's body and struck the air.

"Unfortunately, there aren't any more; this missile is still just an experimental prototype."

In the study of paradoxical engineering, it is natural to ask how to "restore" the manipulation of spacetime by future technology research in Red Alert 3, and how to use rockets or missiles with neutron warheads instead of beams to make targets disappear from the current spacetime and simply wipe targets out on a large scale.

Unfortunately, before Lin Haiyuan's transmigration, the missile-based hyperspace weapon was only in its infancy, namely the "time-space rift" missile used earlier.

Even after Laffey entered a temporary "time-space exile" state, these air-phase fighters continued to relentlessly fire ion beams at the air.

Lin Haiyuan piloted the Griffin Special Operations Ship forward, fully activating his mental power to "see" the energy flow inside those air-phase fighters, grab a portion of it, and then trigger a chain reaction explosion.

boom!

The chain reaction caused by the detonation of energy inside an airborne fighter jet immediately caused the jet to explode in mid-air, forming a cloud of purple mist.

Even with friendly fire, this air-to-ground fighter continued to attack Raffi, who was completely unharmable. This was due to the lack of detection units. Lin Haiyuan's decision to have the Griffin launch missiles and his own use of feedback would not lead to it being detected.

With the distinctive sound of feedback, the energy of this airborne fighter jet was also detonated. Although it did not directly destroy the airborne fighter jet, the detonated energy caused it to lose its stability and plummet towards the sea, eventually breaking apart and dissipating into purple smoke.

Lin Haiyuan activated the magnetic ray system, enveloping Raffi, who was in a state of disappearing from all time streams.

A few seconds later, the time-erasing effect of the spacetime rift missile disappeared, and Raffi's body immediately returned to normal.

"Wow!"

Raffi cried out in alarm, thinking she was about to fall into the sea, but a broad purple beam of light steadily caught her, preventing her from immediately falling to the ground.

The inability of the magnetic ray to lift units and bring them to your side is purely a game balance setting. The combination of Mind Master + Magnetic Tank pulling and controlling units has become somewhat deadly in the MO environment. Now this combination has become Marauder Tank + Magnetic Tank. The Marauder Tank's thermal ray cannon has a longer range than most units. As long as the Magnetic Tank immobilizes units with a shorter range than the Marauder Tank, then unless forced by area-of-effect damage, it will be difficult to damage the Marauder Tank.

Because of the metal ship equipment on Raffi's body, she could be attracted and moved by magnetic rays; otherwise, Lin Haiyuan could only approach her and use his mental power to keep her levitating.

Amidst the strange sounds of magnetic rays, Raffi could see himself being carried to the belly of an airship he had never seen before.

Her first thought was, "What a huge warship!" Her second thought was, "What a beautiful warship!" Her third thought was, "Which human faction owns this airship?"

Large airships are nothing new to Laffey; the ringed messenger warships he just saw in the sky were the best example. However, the reason why the warships looked so beautiful was because they didn't look like real warships at all. Instead, they looked like black swans spreading their wings and soaring through the air, which gave them a pleasing aesthetic.
