Colonia Storm Tour

Now that the number of drones is at a disadvantage, he also needs to replenish enough ground-based air defense forces to deal with Bondski—all the Long-lived Bird air outposts have left 4V for the South China Sea with the Stormbringer Air Assault Division, and this most powerful air defense weapon on the Colonia flank is not present at all.

The Skyfire anti-aircraft tanks and Blizzard tanks have already been deployed to the battlefield in the Kashi region of Tibet! The Thor gunships in the inventory are also unable to be transferred to the battlefield because the Colonia flank air base has entered standby battery power mode.

Therefore, relying solely on two air groups and the combination of Thunderbirds and Jackal Iron Cavalry is not enough to intercept DEM's Bondsky, because DEM's warships will definitely try every means to fire and destroy drones and positions.

"The superweapon Storm Origin Device is now charging. Its target is the enemy's Bondsky swarm. Before the vortex created by the Storm Origin Device appears on the battlefield, the drones must hold off those Bondskys at all costs."

Lin Haiyuan's most effective means of dismantling DEM's Bondsky cluster or even the entire fleet is the Pinnacle Storm created by Storm Origin.

However, the Storm Origin Device requires a total of 10 minutes to charge, and it cannot be kept fully charged indefinitely, as that would cause continuous damage or even an explosion.

Meanwhile, on the DEM fleet's side, Captain Ernest Brennan looked at the small drones flying around in a dazzling, chaotic mess, entangled with Bondsky, and felt a headache just looking at them.

"This has completely stirred up a hornet's nest. Can the Bondsky break through the Foehn Wind's drone air defense forces in a short time?"

Captain Brennan asked the other warship captains questions.

"No! Those drones are more agile than we imagined, which is different from the intelligence we received beforehand that the Foehn drones lacked agility!"

The other captains mostly gave similar responses; their knowledge of the Foehn's drones was largely acquired during that incredible victory in the East China Sea naval battle, and they learned very little afterward.

"These drones are entangled with our Bondsky. Do not use the magic cannon to destroy the drones. All ships, prepare to launch missiles. Crazed mode is prohibited. Semi-active radar guidance. Target the point and fire."

Ernest Brennan quickly came up with a solution to the drones: using relatively traditional missile weapons, and even relatively outdated semi-active radar guidance.

"Aye, Aye, Sir!"

For the current captains, in the absence of the terrifying and despairing "Zero Zone" descending, they can make full use of the various equipment on the warship, one of which is the missile.

Like a scattering of flowers from a fairy tale, missiles were launched from the DEM warship and flew toward the Shrike air defense drone that had broken free from Bondsky's entanglement. The Shrike air defense drone only had 5 Golden Arrow missiles. After firing 5 missiles, it had to immediately return to the air defense nest to replenish ammunition and fuel before continuing its mission.

"All ships, pay attention to the drones returning from the Foehn Wind direction, locate the platform on which the drones took off and landed, and then destroy it with the magic cannon!"

Ernest Brennan keenly noticed that some of the Shrike air defense drones had disengaged from the battle.

Upon receiving the order from the fleet commander-in-chief, the warships in the DEM fleet immediately began searching for the drone take-off and landing platform along the drone's return route, only to be met with a terrifying result.

That is the coastline of Keelung Port. Whether it is by the roadside, in the woods, or on the mountain, it is a platform for the take-off and landing of the Shrike air defense drone!

"Report! The return routes of the enemy drones have all been marked, and their take-off and landing platforms have been confirmed, including roads, embankments, forests, mountains, and docks!"

This DEM captain truly felt like he had stirred up a hornet's nest, and there were a lot of hornets in it.

"It's alright, we can take it one area at a time. We'll bombard the drone take-off and landing platforms that have already been discovered in area A-1! Now, assign targets!"

Captain Ernest Brennan, a seasoned commander and captain, quickly found a way to deal with this hornet's nest defense: level the area by area. In any case, the drones were still entangled with the Bondskis released by the fleet, and the warships were not under any real threat.

"Yes!"

After the ship captains responded loudly, they were quickly assigned to their respective targets, and the DEM airships, which had already deployed into battle formation, were thus able to engage in combat.

From the flagship to the other warships, including Honorius, Almandal, Galdrabok, Notoria, Picatrix, and Albert, they all turned their bows in unison. Then, bright blue light began to emanate from the 17 cannons of varying sizes that were positioned like rams on the hull below the ship. Subsequently, the magical beams fired from these 17 cannons converged into a bright beam of light that swept across the battlefield.

"Walker.net AI, Defense Operations Command, activate force field shield immediately!"

Lin Haiyuan shouted—As an enthusiast of urbanization, how could Lin Haiyuan, who has the technology of MO3 EU, not establish a defensive combat command center to use the force field shield support skill? That is an essential skill when facing siege weapons and when the air force and ground troops cannot deal with the enemy in time. It is on par with "building maintenance" as a god-tier skill for urbanization defense.

"Yes, Master."

After Walker.com's AI responded, a deep sound emanated as the force field shield took shape, and a hemispherical blue lattice shield immediately rose up, covering the entire island.

Fifteen beams of light struck the blue force field shield, creating ripples of magic and energy across its surface.

"Report! The Foehn forces have deployed an energy shield to block all our artillery fire!"

The crew members reported loudly to their respective captains, and then the torrent of voices formed by the reports that had been blocked by the shelling finally reached Captain Ernest.

"A truly formidable opponent. They've even developed an energy shield similar to the defensive 'Freedom Domain.' No wonder Sir Westcott told us to be prepared and take this opponent seriously."

Ernest was amazed that the shelling had been stopped. "But we still have a chance. We need to test where his energy shield is limited."

Ernest Brennan understood perfectly that if the opposing Fenfeng leader, Lin Haiyuan, wanted to protect his drone launch platform before the shelling, he would certainly continue to use similar methods to protect it.

"Honorius to Albert, follow me to bomb area A-2, the rest of the ships bomb area A-3!"

Captain Ernest continued to give orders.

"Yes, sir!"

Upon receiving the order, the captains immediately began to divide into teams, turn their bows, and lock onto targets—the DEM warship was designed in a very strange way. The entire warship was enclosed in a ring, with propulsion engines at three geometric points, and the attacking cannons were hanging below like bee stings... If it were Lin Haiyuan, he would be the first to execute these designers. You're supposed to fly within the atmosphere, and you've given me this kind of shape. I'd kill you.

The Minmatar hair dryer, both the beef jerky and coyote grades, are infinitely more durable and better looking than you appear.

The warships of Ratatosk were at least somewhat normal; their shuttle-shaped design was acceptable.

"They're not a stupid opponent either. They're relying on the power of their warship's cannons to split their firepower and blast us apart, right? Walker AI, activate shields."

Lin Haiyuan immediately understood his opponent's thoughts, but he couldn't do anything about this open scheme. He hadn't yet built Keelung Port into the London fortress built by MO3 EU. As long as the power supply kept up and the defense command center wasn't destroyed, the force field shield effect would continue. He still needed to invest more resources in other places. MO3 European Union had so many resources and assets, but Lin Haiyuan's Fenfeng didn't.

As a result, force field shields rose one after another above the air defense facilities in various areas of Keelung Port, blocking the deadly beams of light from the DEM warships.

"Walker.com AI, what is the progress of nuclear fuel loading at Colonia's flank air base?"

Lin Haiyuan asked.

"A total of 15% has been loaded, and it will take another 35 minutes to complete the nuclear fuel loading."

Walker.com AI responded.

"Well, these DEM warships have arrived just in time. What's the current energy percentage of the backup batteries?"

Lin Hai had originally wanted to consider whether the backup battery's energy could be used to stop time, just in case.

"45%, time stop is not recommended now because we are constantly using hyperspace transfer to load nuclear fuel onto ships. If the energy reserves suddenly and drastically drop, it could lead to unpredictable equipment failures or damage."

Walker.com's AI quickly provided the answer.

"Okay, call the Overlord Squad, then have Zhao Erjun ride the Jackal mobile vehicle. DEM has already dispatched the Magician Squad! Tell them to get into position immediately."

Lin Haiyuan had already seen on the holographic projection that Galdrabok had dispatched a fleet of shipborne magicians.

"Yes, Master."

Walker.com AI immediately called on the Overlord Squad and Kodiak Squad stationed near Keelung.

The Dominator Squad during the Battle of Singapore consisted of [Volkov] Zhao Erjun, [Morales] Peng Zhanluo, Wushan Yu and Yun Xuewu driving the Crocodile vehicle, Li Liqi and Jiang Zelin operating the Raccoon Jammer and the Phantom Rocket Launcher, and finally Hou Dexing, who loved chemistry, driving the Enrager Support Vehicle.

The team was formed during the Singapore Civil War, consisting only of Kagoshima students excluding Rowan. Now, the four Russians rescued from Naha, Okinawa, have joined the team after completing their training.

Arkady, the former ace tank driver and commander of the Guards Regiment, and Commissar Boris piloted the most powerful heavy tank in the Foehn, the "Mastodon," while Antip and Elise were both on board this specially modified Mastodon heavy tank.

Boris was in charge of driving, Arkady was in charge of scouting, locking onto and firing the guns, and Antip and Elise were on the turret, one was responsible for dropping magnetic bombs and the other for sniping.

On the way to Keelung Port, there was not a single person or vehicle in the nearby streets. After discovering the arrival of the DEM air fleet, the Iron Cavalry and Long Spear Warriors were immediately ordered to evacuate the civilians in the war zone to a safe area. After completing the evacuation mission, they immediately boarded the Jackal mobile vehicles to go to Keelung Port for air defense operations.

Before that, the Dominator Squad's vehicles were already speeding along the roads.

Among them, the most powerful technological achievement of the Foehn is the Mastodon tank. Its hollow, long railgun barrel demonstrates its military strength. The huge body, the mine-clearing shovel in front of the tracks, and the standard Foehn black paint job make it incredibly powerful in terms of shock and pressure, even though its movement speed is as slow as most heavy tanks.

A mastodon tank and two crocodile vehicles took up the lane as the vanguard, with Zhao Erjun and Peng Zhanluo on board the crocodile vehicles.

Meanwhile, the Phantom Rocket Launcher, Raccoon Jammer, and Enrager Support are positioned behind the Mastodon Tank and Crocodile Vehicle, respectively, and are protected by the Foehn Wind's most reliable armored vehicles.

"This mastodon tank is very good... but it's a bit too slow."

Arkady still enjoys the thrill of speeding around in those tanks.

"Commander Lin Haiyuan has already replaced the engine with the latest model for us, which is already quite good that we can catch up with the giant crocodile vehicle."

Unlike Arkady, Boris preferred the sturdy and reliable mastodon tank.

Not only does it possess incredibly heavy armor and the top speed of the Crocodile vehicle, but when severely damaged, it can also release nanodrones to repair or repair nearby friendly vehicles and Foehn infantry.

"The magicians we'll be dealing with, like the T-72, T-80, or even the T-90, will become unreliable in their presence. In comparison, the Mastodon tank offers a greater sense of security."

Antip agreed with Boris's idea.

“Zzzzzz…”

Elise began to breathe softly as if she were falling asleep.

"Wow, Is! You can't sleep now, get up quickly! We need to be ready for battle at any moment. We've spotted enemies in the distance, and you're still there!"

Antip quickly shook his sister awake.

"Waaah..."

Elise could only force herself to concentrate and observe her surroundings.

Just then, several Jackal mobile vehicles, accelerated by the accelerator towers, sped past them and headed towards Keelung Port.

Then a special jackal-themed mobile vehicle joined the rear of the group, and the driver inside spoke with Peng Zhanluo and Boris, who were in charge of the team.

"Hello, Comrade Boris, Comrade Peng Zhanluo, this is Wang Jing, an elite synchronous ninja. This time, I have temporarily joined the Dominator Squad to assist you in completing the mission to deal with the magician, as ordered by Chief Lin."

Wang Jing's cheeky voice came through the communicator.

"Okay, comrade, will your Jackal vehicle also be coming with us?"

Peng Zhanlu asked.

"No, it was just a ride-sharing."

As Wang Jing spoke, he opened the passenger compartment door of the Jackal mobile vehicle and then leaped onto the wide turret of the Mastodon tank with a thud.

"Hey, we meet again, Comrade Is!"

Wang Jing naturally addressed Elise by her nickname.

“We met just hours ago…and I even saw your square face…”

Elise looked at Wang Jing with the eyes of someone looking at an idiot—everyone in the Overlord Squad, after special training or equipped with special equipment, could see or sense the location of invisible units.

"Oh, my memory is a bit bad, I forgot. In this mission, I will still help you weaken your opponents. My key-breaking device can help you deal with the magician's free domain."

After less than a second of awkwardness, Wang Jing seriously introduced his role in the mission.

"Huh, when will the Synchronization Ninja's Key Breaker be able to affect the Free Domain?"

Li Liqi asked, puzzled, because in his knowledge, the Synchronous Ninja's Key Breaker only worked on buildings.

"My key-breaking device has been specially adjusted so that it can weaken the magician's arbitrary domain. However, this adjustment is actually better than nothing, because the way the display device works will constantly negate my key-breaking effect."

Wang Jing explained the reason.

"It seems we need enough instantaneous firepower to maximize the effect of Wang Jing's broken key."

Arkady looked at the display screen of the aiming and firing instrument in front of him.
