Colonia Storm Tour

"I know that, you don't need to tell me. Prepare the Virtual World Mirror warp force to attack."

The executor waved his hand impatiently.

"Faced with the enemy's powerful fleet firepower, our siege forces may suffer heavy losses without making any progress, sir."

The first thing that comes to mind when thinking about the Void Crystal Core is the terrifying heavy artillery firepower of the Kodiak battleship; the firepower and time-stopping ability of the Colonia flank air base are secondary.

"Once our warships have crossed the line, what ability will their 21 dilapidated ships have to take care of ground targets? Don't worry about them, just attack."

The Executor dismissed the possibility of heavy artillery support from the Kodiak battleships.

By then, his fleet will be like a vast ocean, while they will suffer casualties every minute. What suspense will there be in the outcome?

"Yes, Your Excellency."

The Void Crystal Core also used the Void World Butterfly Mirror to retrieve the ground troops exploring the universe, and then they all entered a psionic leap state and headed towards the target location.

Once these virtual world mirrors reach the front lines, they will not only face the first wave of powerful attacking forces, but will also provide energy fields for more units to warp into the battlefield. A fierce battle is inevitable, but the battle in space has already begun.

The Ring Messenger's high-speed fighter jets have already approached!

Large numbers of air-to-ground fighters, like trailblazers or swarms of bees, rushed toward the Colonia's flank air base and the Kodiak warship. As for the ground defenses, they would not participate in the space battle because they had not built planetary defense cannons, nor did they have the blueprints to build planetary defense cannons on-site.

Faced with such rapidly approaching air-to-ground fighters, Walker.net AI instructed the Kodiak warships lined up in a row to fire barrages.

With the triple flames of the three 800mm naval guns blazing, 800mm shells flew silently through the stars, hurtling towards the incoming starfighters.

These air-to-ground fighters neither dodged nor evaded, taking the 800mm shells head-on, and the result was quite shocking.

In the spectacular explosion, these air-phase fighters merged with the blast, completely annihilating the row of air-phase fighters that had just rushed in. But these were merely cannon fodder aircraft used to cover the main force.

More Destroyer warships, Decayer warships, and Skybreaker carriers burst out from the still-lingering explosions and headed towards the Kodiak warships and the Colonia's flank air base.

The first to launch an attack was naturally the Destroyer warship using beam energy weapons. The phase crystal at the bow fired out some small black and red beams that swept towards the targets they could reach. At the same time, the first hydrodynamic field projector had already fired a black and red beam into the phase crystal. As a result, the black and red beam exhibited a significant refraction phenomenon, jumping from one part of the warship's armor to another part.

The Destroyer uses a series of resonant crystals made of blood fragments, which makes the beams it generates highly unstable, capable of jumping to the next victim. It is quite useful for dealing with clusters of vulnerable targets, but its damage output is much worse than that of a normal Void Ray when facing a large number of heavy units.

The beam attack from the Destroyer battleship was still within the range that the Kodiak battleship's armor could withstand, especially since the armor itself had resistance to energy weapons.

As the Destroyer warship emitted a black and red beam of light to propel itself forward, the Decayer warship, possessing the most powerful artillery fire, also opened fire.

In space, you can't hear the thunderous sound of the "Death Magic Ball" being launched, so you can only see energy balls surrounded by countless arcs of electricity flying towards you, accompanied by bursts of bright light.

A single strike from such a highly charged particle sphere would be a significant blow to both the Kodiak warship and the Colonia's flank air base. Fortunately, to ensure their astonishing range and power, these energy spheres were designed to prevent premature explosions due to the pressure from their speed disrupting their internal energy balance during flight.

How to intercept a powerful but slow-moving energy ball? The Terran Raven in Conqueror 2 has provided the answer: use a point defense drone to fire a laser to intercept it. In addition, having learned from the experience of dealing with the Protoss enemy Omega, the Raven drone, under the control of WalkerNet AI, immediately launched the Raven point defense drone from the multi-function exit via an electromagnetic rail.

Launched by a massive swarm of Raven drones, the Shrike Point Defense Drones flew like a swarm of bees toward the enemy in the compound eyes of sensors.

As the laser disk containing multiple laser emitters begins to rotate, the red "Jupiter" laser attacks the particle energy blasts in quick succession.

Faced with the continuous attacks of lasers, the particle energy bullets, whose force field constraints and energy balance were broken, exploded violently.

The bursts of electric arcs and flashes of light temporarily illuminated the dark cosmic background; judging from the flashes and arcs, the consequences of being hit would be unimaginable.

The threat of particle energy blasts from the Decayer warships can be temporarily ignored once the Shrew Point defense drones are destroyed, or when the number of Decayer warships reaches a point where the Shrew Point defense drones can no longer effectively intercept them.

After the Destroyer and Decayer warships opened fire, the Skybreaker carrier, which had the longest attack range, also launched many of its interceptors, which began to fly rapidly toward their respective targets. These interceptors, like the Fury, used plasma weapons to attack, but in a beam form with a certain delay.

Once these interceptors appeared on the battlefield, their small size and rapid movement allowed them to quickly enter the range of close-in weapon systems.

The three twin railgun turrets on the hull of the Kodiak warship immediately fired a rapid, deadly plasma attack that destroyed an interceptor, which exploded in the spreading plasma.

On paper, the rate of fire of the twin railgun turret is inferior to that of traditional rotary machine guns, but in reality, its combat effectiveness is much better. At the very least, neither of them can destroy small targets that are approaching at high speed with a single shot, and they can also kill multiple targets with one shot, which is something that ordinary anti-aircraft guns cannot do.

Relying solely on the Kodiak battleships to deal with the Skybreaker interceptors would be insufficient against a sufficient number of them, which is why the Colonia's flank air base played a crucial role.

A large number of "Dawn" plasma cannons fired a barrage of plasma projectiles, attacking the swarming Skybreaker interceptors with virtually no blind spots.

As the vertical launch unit's cover was opened, a swarm of Golden Arrow rockets unleashed a barrage of air-to-air missiles with a density and quantity comparable to plasma cannon fire, bombarding the attacking interceptors.

The explosions of the Golden Arrow rockets and plasma cannon shells, along with the Tianba interceptor, became the most spectacular fireworks display in the starry sky, dazzling even more than the distant, brilliant stars for a short time.

Of course, simply dealing with the Skybreaker interceptors is meaningless; the effective solution is to destroy the Skybreaker carriers, which can produce Skybreaker interceptors at any time.

Just like the aircraft carrier in Red Alert, once the carrier is destroyed, the drones it releases will crash due to loss of control.

More vertical launch cells were activated, and Triumph anti-aircraft missiles loaded with nuclear fusion warheads flew out and headed towards the Skybreaker carriers and Destroyer warships.

If properly controlled, Raven drones' Shrike Point Defense Drones can help the fleet ignore the particle energy blasts from the Decayer warships, as those particle energy blasts are intercepted before they hit their targets.

The Triumph anti-aircraft missiles, lacking air resistance in a vacuum, were able to achieve Mach speeds much higher than in the atmosphere, allowing them to strike the Ring Messenger warships at even faster speeds.

A more spectacular explosion than a simple plasma explosion and flying debris continued, with dozens of expanding fireballs resembling newborn stars bursting forth with even more intense light and deadly high-energy radiation spreading into the surrounding space.

Faced with multiple tactical nuclear fusion warheads, the Tianba aircraft carrier, the Destroyer, and some of the Void Decay warships were either directly melted into a pile of fragments in the intense nuclear explosion temperature, or their internal Void Realm Spirit Crystals exploded and merged into the explosively expanding fireball.

In this round of nuclear-tipped Triumph anti-aircraft missile strikes, the Ring Messenger warship, which had entered the attack position, was instantly 50% destroyed by a large number of nuclear explosions!

The Skybreaker carrier and Destroyer warship, which were the primary targets of the attack, were instantly reduced to a few insignificant small fish in a round of nuclear explosion. Only the Decayer warship, which was constantly intercepted and attacked, survived in greater numbers.

"Acting Lord, our Destroyer warships and Skybreaker carriers have been hit by dozens of tactical nuclear fusion warheads. The vanguard strike force has suffered heavy losses, and our Voidwarf warships' attacks are frequently intercepted by the enemy's drones, making them unable to play an effective offensive role."

The Void Crystal Core reports on the battle situation.

"Huh? Are we fighting in the Terran Empire or among Renault's rangers? How come we see Iron Ravens..."

The agent looked at the Raven drone that was releasing some defensive drones with a displeased expression.

"The Destroyer warships should focus on attacking the Iron Ravens. Once the Iron Ravens are destroyed, they won't be able to release any more defensive drones. Our Decayer warships can then achieve their goal, allowing the follow-up fighter units to take their positions and work with the Destroyer warships to eliminate the Iron Ravens and the defensive drones they release."

The Agents also had experience dealing with the Iron Ravens, so using the Destroyer Battleship's uninterceptable beam to attack the Iron Ravens was the perfect solution.

"Yes, Your Excellency."

The Void Crystal Core replied that a fleet of more Void Phase Fighters flew out from behind the remaining Void Decayer warships and approached the front line where the battle was most intense at high speed. Because the ion beams of the ion cannons used had shorter wavelengths, their range was short. Even with the anion pulse crystal, this problem could not be completely solved. At least, it could not be compared with the Viking fighter's Lanzer flying thunder.

Upon seeing a large number of air-phase fighters rushing towards them in groups, the WalkerNet AI in command instantly realized that these air-phase fighters were most likely targeting their Raven drones and Shrike point defense drones, so it immediately activated a function that the Raven drones rarely used.

The plasma thruster's engine immediately emitted an even more powerful plasma tail flame, and the Raven drone, like a clever little bird, hid in the armored shadows on the flanks of the Kodiak warship and the Colonia to avoid being directly attacked by the swift air-phase fighters.

If the battlefield environment were not in space but in the atmosphere, Walker.net AI could also use the "Thor's Hammer" weather controller to shred incoming small, high-speed targets into dust, while also activating the powerful Wind Rider airflow manipulation system to generate numerous and powerful air pressure balls to destroy incoming targets.

Currently, we can only rely on reliable nuclear-armed missiles, Golden Arrow rockets, and a large number of plasma artillery units. As for time-stopping and light spear support systems, they are used as emergency measures.

Under the orders of the Agent, the Ring Messenger warships quickly changed their tactical targets, and more warships jumped into the battlefield and launched even more ferocious attacks.

The increased pressure came from the attacks launched by more Skybreaker carriers and Destroyer battleships, as more beams and interceptors were already attacking the Colonia's flank air base.

Colonia's flank air base immediately activated the nanorepair field, releasing a large number of nanodrones to repair the continuously damaged hull armor and other parts.

Meanwhile, more Triumph anti-aircraft missiles were launched to clear the area and instantly destroy the newly arrived Ring Messenger warships.

In the magnificent nuclear fireball, the Ring Messenger warships, which had only been on the battlefield for less than five minutes, lost more than half of their strength. Generally speaking, a fleet would be shaken in morale if it faced such a devastating nuclear bombardment at the start of the battle. Unfortunately, these Ring Messenger warships do not have feelings, so this is a fearless fleet that will not stop executing orders or reduce operational efficiency due to any casualties.

The Ring Messenger's warships continued their relentless attack. Fortunately, the most powerful of them, the Decaying Warships, were unable to hit any of the warships with their particle energy blasts and decay energy blasts. Therefore, their nano-recovery fields could rival the Ring Messenger's blood beams and plasma beams, constantly repairing the damaged ship armor and other parts amidst the destruction.

At this point, high-speed, small-unit air-to-ground fighters become a more obvious choice, and Walker.net AI's response is simple and direct.

Three red particle beams immediately shot out from the air base on the flank of Colonia, sweeping towards the attacking air phase fighter squadrons and instantly annihilating dozens of high-speed attacking air phase fighters.

However, the vast majority of air-phase fighters still managed to break through the strafing of the particle light spears. At this moment, a large number of Golden Arrow rockets with guidance systems immediately rushed towards those air-phase fighters.

The plasma shield of the air-phase fighter was hit by dozens or even hundreds of golden arrow rockets and immediately collapsed, followed by a wisp of dissipating purple smoke in a dazzling explosion.

The twin railgun turrets and plasma guns continued to fire relentlessly at the incoming airborne fighters. The main anti-ship weapons were naval guns and Triumph anti-aircraft missiles. One had sufficient shell caliber and tactical nuclear fusion warheads, and the damage from either one was not to be underestimated. As for the large number of plasma guns and the three twin railgun turrets on one ship, they were secondary.

The fleet's main firepower output comes from naval guns and Triumph anti-aircraft missiles, while plasma shells are a secondary output.

If Lin Haiyuan were still commanding the battle, he would definitely be determined to get more nuclear warheads and Triumph anti-aircraft missiles into the ammunition depot and launch them to completely annihilate the enemy. Right now, he is like a Nerazim Protoss crew member in the Void Radiance Ship, guiding the mysterious green energy into the Emerald Key, which is being absorbed at an astonishing speed.

The green light emitted from the green stripes of the Emerald Key gradually increased in brightness, which was proportional to the percentage of mysterious energy flowing into it.

The energy fluctuations emitted were getting bigger and bigger. The ring messengers who were already close to them had long been aware of such large energy fluctuations. More importantly, they were aware of the significance of the increasing amplitude of the energy fluctuations.

"The energy fluctuations emanating from their ritual site are getting stronger. Haven't our ground troops arrived yet?"

The agent can sense an ending from the magnitude of energy fluctuations; reaching the peak will be the beginning of his disaster.

"The Mirror of the Void has ended its psionic leap state and is entering the battlefield to prepare to reach its corresponding position and enter the phase mode warp force."

The words from the core of the Void Crystal slightly eased the anxiety and unease in the agent's heart.

"Okay, give me as many Void Titans and Deathbringers as possible. We need Void Titans and Deathbringers to break their defenses. At the same time, we'll also deploy some Voidwarves, Destroyers, Skybreaker Carriers, and ground troops to attack together."

The Agents knew that relying solely on the Void Colossus wasn't reliable enough, since the extended thermal ray gun's range was still a bit... well, but the Void Colossus using charged explosive rounds was fine.

The problem of warships potentially being intercepted by the Colonian flanking fleet above is another matter; as long as they attack their fleet fiercely enough, the Colonians will be too preoccupied to attend to those below.

As for attacks by warships from below on warships above, this was not taken into consideration because attacks from below are simply meaningless.

You're not attacking the belly of a beast, and once the warship reaches an operational altitude above the lithosphere, the enemy also has a large number of anti-aircraft weapons ready to fire at the uninvited guest.

Within minutes, the Mirror of the Void was in place, and multiple energy fields overlapped to form a powerful and vast energy field. From basic land combat units like the Annihilation Corps to giant killing machines like the Void Colossus, they were all teleported to the battlefield, ready to launch an attack on what seemed like an easily breached defense.

Meanwhile, the defensive line built by Lin Haiyuan and his group on the floating continent was equipped with a large number of Iron Dragon Tanks and Magnetic Control Tanks to prepare for a particle collision and magnetic feast against enemies whose bodies were made of metal.

==========================

The biggest problem with the Tal'darim Void is its limited use. Ritual Preparation and Lakshir are not suitable for the Red Void. It can only be used in the Fel God Possession and Redemption War—both of which have a considerable number of Zygarde enemies. However, you can also send out Red Spellcasters to release orbs...and wipe out a large number of them at once. The Red Void is really quite useless...

Chapter Thirty-Three: A Rapid Sprint (V)

The Iron Dragon Tank, as an artillery unit adept at dealing with infantry and armored vehicles, has appeared in various positions in many campaigns, but rarely in offensive situations.

The particle impact technology used in this tank would be devastating if it accidentally hit friendly fire, often causing unnecessary casualties. In addition, its poor performance against buildings also meant it was rarely used on offensive routes.

The Epsilon Mind Legion's magnetic tanks are also relatively rare, not only because they are vehicles originating from Epsilon, but also because they have the drawback of being unable to damage non-building targets.

However, this defensive battle has its value, namely, using magnetic rays to immobilize and magnetize the enemy to restrict their movement, making it easier for the Iron Dragon tank to strike targets more effectively.

Like normal artillery shells, Iron Curtain pulse shells follow a trajectory and require a certain amount of time to hit their target.

Now, some beautiful young women have appeared on the battlefield, seemingly out of place on the battlefield. They are undoubtedly Purifiers carried by the Colonia's flank air base.

Aside from no longer being made of nanomaterials, these Purifiers use weapons that are not much different from the past: Thunder Spears for clearing out enemies that enter close combat range, Beam Rifles for long-range precision shooting, and overall, the main anti-infantry and anti-armor output is still those scattered railgun turrets, plasma cutters, and Iron Dragon tanks.

Meanwhile, several ship girls on the air base on the flank of Colonia, after being notified by Walker.net AI, also came to a relatively safe place to stand with the Purifiers and hold the line.

There's no need to worry about them being teleported down through time without any equipment. While Lin Haiyuan was searching for Exile, Walker.com's AI had already completed a series of operations, including reverse engineering.

With a dazzling blue light of hyperspace teleportation, nine orbital modules appeared on the ground, accompanied by a rotating and dissipating triangular teleportation wave.

The ship girls immediately ran out of the orbital module after being notified that they would be participating in what would soon become the most intense battle.

After the hatch of the orbital module was opened with a bang, Anshan, whose appearance and equipment had changed slightly, was the first to quickly walk out of the orbital module.
