On the ground, twelve combat chs controlled by the artificial intelligence AI "Adam" were aboard three hover infantry armored vehicles, heading in the direction of the Ground Portal Gate Managent Substation. The situation there was already tense, and combat could break out at any mont.
This squad of chanical beings was the fourth ace up Chen Fei's sleeve; he did not fully trust the three teams handed over by Louis Landon. The heart of Jianghu is sinister, and it is never a bad idea to be extra cautious.
Above the chanical dragon, at even higher altitudes, two propeller-driven drones followed close by, as if escorting it. They were responsible for reconnaissance, communication liaison, and combat, and if necessary, they could even transform into missiles.
Chen Fei was one person, yet also not just one person.
The blockade and jamming of radio frequencies across the entire Zilu Continent by the rebel army could only forcibly block most communication devices, while for a few military-grade devices supporting ultra-high frequencies, the blockade was often ineffective.
Louis Landon had prepared quite advanced equipnt for the personnel who had secretly infiltrated the area. With the assistance of two propeller drones, he quickly made contact with the three teams.
"Zzt... I am Intelligence Team... zzt... already in position, decoding communication encryption... zzt..."
The "Intelligence Team" was not lacking in reconnaissance veterans and had electronic warfare experts. Whether it was infiltration or eavesdropping, they were more than capable.
"'Suicide Squad' in position, ready to strike at any mont!"
The Dead Soldiers, whose lives were already counting down, no longer considered themselves human, replying without a hint of emotional fluctuation.
From the mont they took the poison, they beca genuine combatants.
"'Strong n Team' awaiting orders, we hope we can make good use of our skills!"
These strong n were rcenaries, working for pay, not necessarily willing to throw away their lives for their employers.
"Awaiting instructions!"
Chen Fei was in single-line contact with the three teams; they did not know of each other's existence.
Although inside the chest cockpit of the chanical dragon, the field of view was still shared with the perspective of the dragon's head. The virtual and real landscapes fused together, with the Ground Portal Gate Managent Substation sign and distance appearing on the horizon, marking the rebel-occupied area and key military equipnt. Even the Light Wing Fleet and the onboard "Sky Falcons" outside of visual range were identified, leaving nothing unnoticed when looking in that direction.
The chanical dragon quickly climbed to an altitude of 8,000 ters. The flight control module programd by AI "Adam" was still being optimized. Even on his first flight, Chen Fei was becoming more adept, and his perception even rged with the dragon's body, distinctly feeling the changes in the airflow outside.
Xiao Jiu was not by his side but stayed with Shen Fei and Princess Lin Ziyu, acting as their last line of personal defense.
Adam: The Ground Portal Gate Managent Substation has activated its protective barrier, and it seems small-scale fighting is taking place inside.
The entire Zilu Continent had only one ground portal, and it was precisely the one on the outskirts of Nandu City, which unsurprisingly beca a primary target for the rebel army in the first stage.
Since the portal connected two civilized planets, it was a facility of utmost importance, so having a protective barrier was natural, and its strength was enough to easily block the force of a nuclear weapon detonated at close range.
For the rebel army to seize it would not be an easy task. They hadn't started the fight yet, probably still considering tactical issues.
However, once the Dinsional Gate was seized, the Rebel Army undoubtedly obtained a trump card that threatened both civilizations simultaneously.
Even the Slan Dynasty and Blue Star Civilization, which had reacted in ti, found it difficult to eliminate these foes quickly due to their reluctance to damage their own assets.
Moreover, there might arise what Mr. Louis Randon referred to as the "prophecy," attracting unknown and dangerous alien species, threatening the very survival of all humanity.
"'Adam,' project the images!"
When Chen Fei wanted to see for himself, a soft beep echoed in the cabin.
Radar waves were scanning the chanical Dragon, while four light spots appeared in the field of vision, locked on by the fire control system imdiately.
In the top left corner of the visual interface, a top-down map marked the four cursors as "Sky Falcon," approaching rapidly with the ti calculated for when they would enter firing range.
There was 1 minute and 15 seconds left for the enemy to first enter the chanical Dragon's attack radius, and after another 5 seconds, the chanical Dragon would enter the "Sky Falcon's" firing envelope.
The re difference in firing range ant that the "Sky Falcon" was insufficient to threaten the chanical Dragon piloted by Chen Fei.
In aerial combat, Chen Fei was confident; his attention was focused more on the ground.
Three images were transmitted to Chen Fei's eyes; the protective barrier enveloping the Dinsional Gate Managent Substation was transparent, clearly showing the inside where tracer bullets and explosions were incessant. Roughly three battle zones were engaged in combat, with the combat chs controlled by "Cybertrom" advanced derivatives charging one after another, continuously being knocked down and bursting into flas, imdiately scrapped, but they enabled a few of the battles to end quickly.
Chen Fei happened to witness the tail end of the combat within the protective barrier. The importance of the Dinsional Gate was unquestionable; the defense force was naturally formidable, and any breakout of combat would be swiftly subdued.
Because there was no stinting on the use of heavy firepower, different areas within the Dinsional Gate Managent Substation were ablaze, a ss. These damages were insignificant compared to the security of the Dinsional Gate; to be precise, compared to the planar coordinates "Longinus," they were not worth ntioning.
This rebellion must have been brewing for a long ti, actually resulting in an organized insurgency. The Slan Dynasty had clearly been careless, and it was also a dereliction of duty by the Imperial Security Departnt. It was even possible that the rebels had infiltrated the Security Departnt, but they still had not gained full control of the overall situation, and the combat with the troops loyal to the Dynasty carried on, unceasing.
Even in the skies, where Light Wing Ships duelled, the combat between "Sky Falcon" units was intense, and the infighting was unfolding everywhere.
While the Rebel Army was doing its utmost to expand their gains, Chen Fei, piloting the chanical Dragon, arrived at a critical location.
Several missiles rose from the ground, heading for the airspace where the chanical Dragon was flying.
The chanical Dragon, as large as a Giant Dragon, was hard not to notice as it soared through the sky.
"Deploy the 'Repulsion Shield' and select targets for the missile launchers and artillery positions."
Chen Fei was not at all nervous facing the incoming missiles, for the power output of the Crystal Energy Furnace used by the chanical Dragon was unprecedentedly ample.
True to its showy, material-intensive construction, ordinary anti-air missiles were simply not a threat to this conceptual model.
Adam: "Repulsion Shield" deployed, identifying missile launch vehicles and artillery, scan to be completed in 15 seconds.
A transparent barrier imdiately surrounded the chanical Dragon, which continued to fly towards the Ground Portal Gate Managent Substation, unflustered.
-
On the ground, many rebel soldiers pointed towards the sky, discussing animatedly.
"What kind of giant dragon is that?"
"It kind of looks like a tallic Dragon!"
"How could there be a tallic Dragon here?"
"It feels a bit off, though!"
"A missile is heading towards it, look!"
As the rebel soldiers tried to discern exactly which branch of dragonkind this unknown dragon belonged to, the ground-launched interceptor missile finally made contact with the target.
Boom, boom, boom, boom...
Several explosions almost simultaneously erupted, with flashes of fire and clouds of smoke spreading.
But in the next second, the cloud of smoke and debris was pushed aside by an invisible force, and the dragon's form reappeared, seemingly unhard.
"What, what's going on?"
"The target is still there!"
The rebel missile brigade that had just launched the missiles was surprised to find that their attack was futile.
Adam: Lock onto missile and artillery positions within a 30-kiloter radius.
On the visual interface's 2D electronic map, the missile and artillery positions were all marked.
"Lock on target, fire all missiles."
Chen Fei approved the locked targets and issued the command.
Countless tracer bullets rose from the ground, nurous railgun weapons aid at the chanical dragon and fired at full force, reaching the 6,000-ter altitude almost instantly, given the railgun's projectile velocity.
"Pause missile launch, disable the repulsion shield, spread the dragon's wings, prepare for physical impact!"
Facing the overwhelming barrage of all-tal projectiles, Chen Fei welcod them, but he had to stop the suppression of the ground missiles and artillery.
There were too many anti-air railgun weapons, forming a dense air defense net. Firing missiles and rockets now might lead to them all being intercepted.
Human and dragon unite!
tal Elental Psychic Power covered the entire outer armor layer of the chanical dragon, and countless solid projectiles slamd down hard. The ch trembled slightly as its fully extended wings aid to catch as many of those projectiles as possible.
In Chen Fei's eyes, countless slender blue predictive trajectory lines enveloped the chanical dragon's body, so of which were even thicker than others.
System: Ding! Discovered a large number of alloy bodies, energy points 15!
System: Ding! Discovered a large number of alloy bodies, energy points 7!
System: Ding! Discovered a large number of alloy bodies, energy points 29!
...
After enduring more than thirty seconds, Chen Fei harvested over 500 energy points, making a killing.
On the ground, they finally realized that sothing was amiss, and the aerial focus fire gradually ceased.
The giant dragon in the sky endured the attack of all railgun weapons, even though many projectiles were fused and ard. The small-caliber ones were directly received while the large-caliber ones were nimbly avoided.
Many gazes were filled with doubt and awe. What was the deal with this giant dragon?
Only tallic Dragons could ignore the all-tal projectiles of the railgun weapons. Could this be a tallic Dragon?
Inside the cockpit, Chen Fei said, "Execute the previous attack."
The chanical dragon's body continually launched built-in missiles, with nurous small missiles detaching from their mounts on the dragon's wings. In just a few seconds, a total of over twenty missiles of various sizes were released.
Detached from the chanical dragon, the missiles were sequentially ignited at their rear propulsion engines. Flas erupted, propelling the warheads towards their intended targets.
"What the hell is that? Watch out for the missiles!"
The rebels on the ground were taken aback.
While many automatic defense systems were about to activate, the chanical dragon followed closely behind the missiles, diving down with it, its spread wings lighting up with densely packed magic arrays.
