Above the azure sea, a Devourer-class Deep Diving Cruiser had ceased firing anti-ship missiles, and instead launched nurous air defense missiles. In an instant, hundreds of air defense missiles soared into the sky and intercepted from over a hundred kiloters away.
One after another, the air defense missiles exploded the anti-ship missiles attacking from India's navy, but so anti-ship missiles broke through the interception, further approaching the Devourer-class Cruiser.
On the bow of the Devourer-class Cruiser, the deck split open and a turret rose up.
It was a twin-mounted 203mm naval gun, spewing large tongues of fire and firing specialized air defense High Gun shells, creating a barrage to intercept the incoming missiles.
This naval gun had a larger caliber and a slower rate of fire, but its air defense effectiveness was excellent. The powerful air defense High Gun shells, over a hundred kilograms each, struck down many anti-ship missiles, and only a cruiser with such tonnage could support such a large-caliber naval gun.
When there were still anti-ship missiles that broke through, at the bottom of the cruiser, eight tentacle-like living arms suddenly extended from the sea, spraying clumps of acid and webs from their tips.
The acid splattered like a shower, with drops of acid like a rain of arrows forming a curtain of rain. Upon contact with the anti-ship missiles, it would corrode the missile's body, damaging the precise equipnt and gyros inside, causing the missile to be destroyed mid-air.
The webs would automatically expand upon contact with air, stretching over a thousand square ters, enveloping the incoming missiles and causing them to lose balance and plunge into the ocean.
Air defense missiles were responsible for long-range defense, the 203mm twin-mounted naval gun for mid-range, and the acid and webs for close-range defense. By this stage, almost no anti-ship missiles could break through.
Finally, only one stray anti-ship missile successfully broke through the firepower net, but waiting for this single India missile were eight full sets of 11-barrel 30mm close-in weapon systems.
A close-in weapon system adjusted its angle, and the 11 barrels rotated, inundating the lone anti-ship missile with a dense barrage.
Such scenes were unfolding on every Devourer-class Cruiser.
"Such a warship, such a warship..."
Kumar staggered, his face deathly pale, all the strength drained from his body, unable to utter a complete sentence.
He believed the cruisers, vulnerable and able to be taken down with a single missile, surprisingly had such a complex and sophisticated firepower defense system while carrying so many missiles.
Markuer didn't know that the five Devourer-class Deep Diving Cruisers carried a total of more than three thousand various missiles and torpedoes.
Due to a streamlined crew, fuel, and vast machinery, the Devourer-class was a true Arsenal Ship, focusing on firepower supremacy, capable of loading a large number of missiles and ammunition.
If Markuer had launched all his missiles at one Devourer Cruiser, he might have succeeded in breaking through the firepower net.
But there are no redies for regrets in this world. The aircraft carrier group's anti-ship missiles were expended, completely losing the ability for a second wave of attack.
"Commander, Commander... the damage control team cannot extinguish the fire; the fire is spreading to the ammunition depot. We opted to flood sections of the ship, and now the number one ammunition depot is unusable..."
Markuer was brought back to his senses by the urgent cries; he raised his head, not looking at the smoke-blackened face of the damage control officer, but staring blankly at the sea ahead.
At this mont, the sea was filled with India's main battleships, either subrged in the ocean or engulfed in flas, the fire seemingly igniting the sea, with countless navy soldiers floundering in the seawater.
The grand fleet of 30 warships that ca in overwhelming force now had only a re handful of surviving ships.
The entire sea was nothing but burning flas, sunken steel giants, roaring white missiles, broken bodies, drifting with the tides.
"Our navy, it's over."
Muttering to himself, without realizing it, Kumar's tears moistened his face, crying bitterly.
India's navy, painstakingly built up over decades since the country's founding, was utterly destroyed in one fell swoop.
But the ocean does not believe in tears, nor does it favor cowards; this is a ga for the brave.
His tears seed to toll the final death knell for India, as in his vision, several anti-ship missiles were rushing towards the Vikrant-class aircraft carrier.
