Colonia Storm Tour

Without lingering in the fight, she blocked the attack from the gardenia and immediately accelerated to the limit, performing highly complex maneuvers to dodge the golden beam while simultaneously contacting the DEM branch manager behind her.

"The plan has changed! Stop the Lord of Memory's operation and supply power to the Tower of Babel. Activate the Tower of Babel's shockwave mode and tell me how long it will take you to complete the launch of the shockwave!"

Ellen roared into the communicator—"If we don't use the other function of the Babel Tower Manifestation Device to wipe out all the nearby Ratatosks and the Foehn Wind forces, as well as magicians and even elves, then DEM will not only suffer heavy losses in Tibet, but will also fail to achieve its original goal of controlling the leaderless 4V Foehn Winds with the Babel Tower Manifestation Device and the Memory Lord Manifestation Device."

"Minister, we need another 15 minutes to complete the mission! We are now urgently increasing the energy extraction rate of the Betelgeuse device! We expect the time to be reduced to 10 minutes!"

The DEM technical manager replied.

“Very well, then I can only give you this much time. If you can’t finish in 15 minutes, the elves, magicians, and the Foehn and Ratatosk forces will break through the defenses and tear you to shreds.”

After uttering these cold and terrifying words, Eileen continued her battle with the approaching Gardenia.

"Since that elf wants to suppress me with long-range firepower, can she still bombard me so recklessly if I'm mixed in with her?"

The Caledfwlch in Ellen's hand did not become less convenient to swing because of the shorter distance between her and Gardenia; on the contrary, it was still as deadly as a venomous snake.

"Looks like you're not so stupid after all! But don't think we can't do anything about it!"

Gardenia's Aroundight sword danced like falling cherry blossoms, parrying Ellen's attacks and attempting to slash off Ellen's wrist or arm.

"Malakh!"

The split Annihilation Angels beside Rowan immediately reassembled, forming transparent, dreamlike wings. She flapped her wings and vanished from the spot in an instant.

The next moment, he raised his gun and thrust it into Eileen's back!

"Um?!"

Ellen hadn't expected Rowan to attack so quickly. Facing the sharp thrust from behind, she immediately used the extraordinary mobility granted by her Freedom Domain to block Aroundight's energy blade and circle around to the side.

If she chooses to disengage from the battle again, she will be suppressed by the endless bombardment. Therefore, she must stay with Hua Zhizi unless absolutely necessary.

Meanwhile, in the control center beneath the Tower of Babel display device, the DEM technical director was yelling at everyone in the control center to get ready to release a directional blast wave.

A security guard from the company headquarters, looking grim, whispered in his ear, "We haven't found any trace of Professor Miller L. Stalington."

"What?! You bunch of good-for-nothings can't even catch a professor who can't even kill a chicken? How are we going to explain this to the minister when he returns? Now, go search again! Quickly!"

The DEM technical supervisor reprimanded the security personnel once and then continued to direct everyone in the control center.

"Yes! I understand."

The security personnel could only reluctantly accept their orders and continue leading their men to search for Professor Miller L. Stalington, who had already been identified as a traitor. Their conversation in the dormitory had been clearly heard by specialized listening equipment.

Where was Professor Miller L. Stalington at this moment? He was crawling laboriously through the ventilation ducts, holding a plastic explosive that was waiting to be set with a password and then detonated.

After sending Stet Oerlikon away, he subsequently received a company notification email on his personal computer stating that Stet Oerlikon was a traitor.

As a professor of normal intelligence, he certainly knew that his conversation with State would soon be known, so he immediately brought explosives that could disable the Tower of Babel manifestation device from the inside.

"Those 12 girls and that Oerlikon machine gun should have already left the war zone. If not, by the time the Tower of Babel manifestation device activates the directional stun, everything will be beyond saving."

Professor Miller L. Stalington installed a bugging device at the head of the underground control center, so he could naturally find out what the underground control center was doing. He could do the same tricks that DEM could do.

Directional blast

As the name suggests, it is to specify a direction and use a high-density, highly targeted magic wave to destroy a designated target. Since the Tower of Babel is constantly rotating, this directional shockwave is all-around.

This means that any living thing or metal object facing this high-density, highly targeted magic wave will meet a tragic end: it will be "shattered" and disintegrated into unanalyzable fragments.

Once the Babel Tower manifestation device has completed the charging of the directional shockwave, the DEM troops will immediately retreat to the minimum range of this directional shockwave magic wave.

Just like the MADMAN from the Shark Vanguard, this directional shockwave has no power within a few meters of the center; it only faces terrifying destruction a few meters away.

As the Foehn-Ratatosk Allied Forces' Provisional First and Second Assault Divisions attacked the second line of defense set up by DEM and the warlords around Kazin and Kazin.

These DEM mercenary units and warlord soldiers fought back frantically, showing no signs of fleeing or surrendering. In ancient times, there was a saying that when besieging a city, one should leave an opening, which means that when surrounding an enemy, one should leave a loophole to give the enemy a false hope of breaking out and escaping, thereby reducing the determination of the besieged enemy to fight to the death and fight with their backs to the wall.

However, the Foehn and Ratatosk forces had already pushed to the vicinity of the only entrance and exit. These DEM mercenaries and warlord soldiers had no choice but to fight desperately, or they would be shot by the disciplinary team if they retreated.

Furthermore, the defensive facilities that DEM had set up in this area beforehand also caused a lot of trouble for the offensive operations, namely the dual-purpose magic turret.

With a rhythmic whooshing sound, the first round of these magic cannonballs hit the Knight medium tank and immediately blew away the armor of the track section. The second one hit the tank turret and blew out an ugly black crater. The third one completely disabled the Knight medium tank.

"Captain Caul, we've received a message from headquarters that all Westerlies artillery and drone units on the battlefield are now under our control!"

Ling Yunrong reported.

"Transfer control of the drone unit to Comrade Yu Xiao, and notify the 2nd Assault Division of the Foehn-Latatosk Joint Forces to suspend the advance, find a suitable position to hold and exchange fire with the enemy."

Kaul could see from the monitor in front of him that these magic turrets that fired circular energy projectiles were very powerful; one shot could kill several people or two or three shots could destroy a tank.

"Yes!"

Ling Yunrong did as Kao Er instructed.

Upon receiving the order from Super Thor Gunship 01, the 2nd Assault Division of the Foehn-Ratatosk Allied Forces halted its advance and slowly retreated towards the enemy, stopping only when the magic turrets were out of range.

On Super Thor Gunship 02, Captain Li Yangyu said, "Yuxiao, Captain Kaul has handed over control of the drones to you. Pull the drone force back to form a solid battle line and use the West Wind Cannon to destroy those damn energy turrets!"

"Yes!"

Yu Xiao tapped on the button while calling headquarters, "Calling Fengshen, calling Fengshen, this is Super Thor 02, a large number of high-powered defensive artillery pieces have appeared on the enemy's position, we need to strike their coordinates beyond visual range!"

"Coordinates for beyond-visual-range strike have been transmitted."

This time, it wasn't Lin Haiyuan's voice that answered them, but the deep male voice of Walker.com's AI.

Yu Xiao felt something was off after hearing the voice of WalkerNet AI, but then ignored it because she was on the battlefield. She started to provide the onboard computer of the Westwind artillery with the beyond-visual-range strike data obtained by WalkerNet AI through drones and satellite scans, and then carried out the beyond-visual-range strike.

Because there was no support from the Super Thor gunships, the 2nd Assault Division of the Allied Forces in the Foehn-Ratatosk region was equipped with 40 Zephyr guns. The sight of so many Zephyr guns firing at the same time and the shells flying into the sky was obviously quite spectacular.

The anti-tank armor-piercing projectile, which was less effective against buildings, traced a perfect white parabola across the sky before falling downwards under the influence of Earth's gravity.

After a round of beyond-visual-range attacks, once the smoke from the exploding shells cleared, Kaul on the Super Thor gunship could see that only a handful of these magical turrets had been damaged in the explosions.

"Judging from the fact that most of the shells exploded just a meter or so above the turrets, they must have hit the random field. DEM Company is really rich and powerful, even extending the random field to turrets that are like consumables."

Kaul couldn't help but admire the results that DEM had achieved in terms of financial resources.

"Captain Caul, the Zephyr cannon's beyond-visual-range strike effect is not good. The enemy's turrets that fire energy projectiles have not been destroyed much at all."

The mercenary artillery observation post below reported to him.

"That's because the Zephyr cannons aren't powerful enough, only 120mm in diameter. Look at our ship's guns, vice-captain, get ready."

Kaul was going to see if the random fields generated by the display devices of these magic turrets could withstand the power of the high-explosive shells fired from the 360mm naval guns.

"Yes, fire control data is being entered!"

Ling Yunrong reported.

"I really wish we had the Vanguard gunships to help us at this time. Their particle impact cannons are the most effective weapons of destruction right now. Super Thor gunship 02, select those turrets as the target type and prioritize clearing those blocking the way for the troops."

Kaul informed Li Yang on the other side that the Air Force had not sent any other fighter jets this time, except for transport planes to transport troops, supplies, and drones.

"Yes, Yu Xiao! Lock the target type to turrets and prioritize engaging targets blocking the way!"

Li Yang shouted.

"Received, fire control data is being entered..."

Yu Xiao began to input fire control data into the computer and then correct the firing parameters by using the observation data from the drone in front.

After the two Super Thor gunboats completed the fire control data input and firing parameter calibration, the roar of the 360mm naval guns resounded once again.

To fire 10 360mm shells in one minute, not only could you see flashes of light and smoke at the muzzle of the ship's gun, but the powerful recoil also caused the Super Thor gunship to retreat a meter.

As the shells rained down on the magic turret positions, the turrets' domains finally gave way to the violent explosions, exploding or being completely submerged. The mercenaries and remnants of warlord forces who thought they were safe hiding next to the turrets were also buried along with them.

Clearly, the effect of a salvo from the Thor gunship was astonishing; the sites of those massive, troublesome magic turrets were immediately leveled, clearing a path for them.

In contrast, a salvo from the insufficiently caliber West Wind artillery could only destroy a handful of the magic turrets targeted by concentrated fire, making any advance of the battle line impossible.

Therefore, thanks to the powerful naval gunfire of the Super Thor gunships, the Provisional 1st Assault Division of the Foehn-Latatosk coalition was able to advance the front line at a snail's pace.

The Foehn-Ratatosk Allied Provisional 2nd Assault Division, due to insufficient caliber of its Zephyr artillery, was forced to remain stationary and continue exchanging fire with the enemy.

If Lin Haiyuan were still looking at the battlefield in the Kashi region of Tibet at this moment, he couldn't help but sigh that the wheel of fortune has turned, and now it's finally DEM's turn to build magic turrets to fight a defensive war. In the seventeenth volume before the missile's end, a love farce in which China and Russia were treated so miserably, Ratatosk in Tengu City used a magic turret to ambush a DEM warship.

However, Lin Haiyuan has no time to pay attention to the war in the Kashi region of Tibet now, because he has found himself being overwhelmed by drones and air warships.

"What?! DEM's warships have appeared in the waters near Keelung in 4V?!"

Lin Haiyuan was incredulous after hearing Walker.com's AI report.

"Based on what you told me in the past, the current number of DEM warships and the number detected by radar have confirmed that DEM has dispatched half of its fleet to attack us!"

Walker.com AI responded.

"Damn it, do you think I'm Kerrigan, the Queen of Blades? Half your fleet coming to ride on my face? Perfect timing, my Stormbringer air assault division and the Whale Whale fleet have already been dispatched..."

Lin Haiyuan slammed his right fist into his palm halfway through his sentence, "I get it now! So that damn DEM was using the Dai-1 carrier battle group to lure out our air force and navy! We fell for their diversionary tactic!"

"Judging from the current situation, we have indeed fallen into a trap, Master."

Walker.com AI felt that nothing described their current situation better than being tricked into leaving the mountain, and at this point, Walker.com AI didn't have time to correct his vulgar self-description.

"The EU really listens to DEM and is willing to risk its only two carrier battle groups. Our main forces are already in the South China Sea! Now I need to see how the battlefield situation is in the sea area outside the port."

Lin Haiyuan quickly calmed down and focused intently on the holographic projection in front of him.

Soon a huge holographic projection video that could be divided into several pieces appeared in front of him.

Lin Haiyuan's Fenfeng construction site is not far from the sea outside the port, so the DEM warships can easily raze his Fenfeng bases on the east and west sides of the port by launching a bombardment.

At this time, the battle on the port was extremely fierce and showed signs of becoming chaotic. Thanks to the urban defense policy brought by Lin Haiyuan from the game, he placed shrikes-shaped anti-aircraft nests of varying heights and concealed mobile sonic detectors along the coastline of the port.

Therefore, the Shrike air defense drones launched from the Shrike Air Defense Bird Nest are like a swarm of bees flying all over the sky, entangled with the Bondski released by the DEM warship under the flexible control of Walker.com AI.

However, Lin Haiyuan could also see more DEM warships launching Bondskis from the holographic projection. Upon closer inspection, he could see that the Bondskis were densely packed inside the hatches of the hull's lower deck.

More Bondskies were launched! At a quick glance, he realized his Shrike air defense drones were still outnumbered!

"Walker AI, have you detected any DEM warship attacks from other directions?"

As Lin Haiyuan spoke, his fingers rapidly tapped on the buttons beside him.

"No, it has been confirmed that all of DEM's air fleets are located in the same place."

Walker.com AI responded.

"Mobilize the Fifth and Sixth Flight Groups stationed in Taipei and Keelung to intercept Bondsky. The Meizu Wing Loongs should not advance. The naval forces should stay far away and wait for the right opportunity to use the Meizu Wing Loongs to mark the DEM warships under my command."

Lin Haiyuan knew from Walker.com's AI's words that DEM's target was definitely him. They wouldn't deploy troops in other directions to avoid unnecessary trouble. As for the nearby Swordfish frigates, they should keep them at a distance to avoid suicide. It's not difficult for them to sink one of your frigates with a single magic cannon shot, and without the acceleration tower, they are even more likely to be hit.

"Thunderbird air defense drones and Iron Cavalry units, immediately board the Jackal mobile vehicles and head to the port to intercept DEM's Bondsky. They must maintain constant mobility; being hit would be fatal!"
