Chapter 144 Hypersonic Missiles
The suddenly ignited fireball reflected the sunset on the horizon, creating a breathtaking scene.
The oxygen inside the fireball was consumed in an instant.
All the monsters tainted by the mist, along with the air around them, were ignited, like maggots clinging to bones.
They were burned alive in mid-air, screaming as they fell alongside the throwing demons, and fire rained down from the sky.
Physical puncture by tungsten-core steel needles, and high-temperature incineration by thermobaric bombs.
Two types of ammunition, two ways of dying, playing out under the same sky.
With just one salvo, a hundred shells and rockets were fired, instantly wiping out one-sixth of the air interception force that Volaz had painstakingly organized.
The only survivors within the area are the gargoyles, covered in wounds.
The sky in this area seemed to have become much cleaner.
If the 300,000-strong army hadn't stretched for miles and been spread out, there would have been even more casualties.
And the next wave of deadly meteors appeared even clearer against the pristine sky...
Woraz: "???"
It stood there blankly, looking up at the sky that had suddenly become empty, its mind a complete blank.
One second they were risking their lives to sound the prelude to a counterattack, and the next second, the entire air force suffered heavy losses. It wouldn't be long before the air force was wiped out.
This stark contrast caused all the monsters' minds to go blank.
Their pupils reflected the approaching, deadly meteor.
"boom--!!!"
Another round of conventional artillery fire landed precisely in the stunned demon army formation, sending hundreds of demons flying along with the ground beneath their feet.
The loud explosion finally brought Volaz back to his senses.
It looked at the army on the ground, once again torn apart by artillery fire, and its body trembled uncontrollably.
A strange chill gripped its heart.
I was played for.
The feeling was like watching a child try to challenge a giant using all sorts of ridiculous methods.
Then, just when the child thought he saw hope, the giant simply changed the course of events and crushed all his efforts and hopes to dust.
"Roar... Hehe..."
Woraz let out an incomprehensible roar, his ugly face contorted with anger and humiliation.
"Continue the interception! All troops, accelerate the charge!"
"Once they're touched, it's their death sentence!"
It roared and decided to leave the army alone to see if it could get close to the Great Xia army and create chaos.
The ground beneath its legs cracked, and in the next instant, its figure appeared a hundred meters away.
At terrifying speed, dust billowed up all the way.
......
On the artillery positions behind the Great Xia Expeditionary Force, dozens of self-propelled mortars and box rocket launchers were lined up, roaring at a fixed frequency.
Each time the cannon recoiled, it spewed out huge flames and thick smoke.
The rocket pods on the launch vehicle rotated continuously, sending rockets into the sky one after another.
Dust filled the air, and the roar of steel was deafening.
Kyle and Elder Muyu stood on a high ground not far from the artillery position, feeling the ground tremble beneath their feet, and looked at each other in bewilderment.
"God of Holy Light..." Kyle opened his mouth,
"They...can they just keep fighting like this?"
He watched as those steel behemoths continuously launched "alchemy products" into the sky, but saw absolutely no results.
This puzzled him.
Elder Muyu also frowned.
"This kind of attack... seems to require no aiming?"
After discussing it, the two decided to go check out the command vehicle.
As they stepped into the wheeled command vehicle, they were immediately captivated by the sight before them.
Inside the carriage, Long Zhan and Lin Mo stood calmly in front of a large screen.
On the screen, footage of the distant battlefield is being played in real time from an overhead perspective.
Those are images transmitted back by a drone.
Kyle and Elder Muyu only glanced at each other before freezing in place.
The plains on the screen have turned into hell.
Countless densely packed demons, marked by the AI with red outlines and highlighted, are dimming and perishing under the baptism of artillery fire.
Each burst of light instantly wiped out the demons in the area, leaving only a crater in their wake.
A cloud of fire exploded, and large numbers of demons twisted and struggled in the flames before turning into charred remains, leaving only the high-ranking troops struggling in agony.
They could even clearly see that those elite monsters, which were incomparably powerful in their eyes, were easily blown to pieces like fragile livestock.
Kyle's mouth opened slightly, and his Adam's apple bobbed with difficulty.
This is technology, a devastating blow to the demon race.
Elder Muyu stared at the ever-decreasing demon army on the screen and muttered to himself:
"By the Goddess of Nature... this... this is your power?"
Lin Mo turned around and glanced at them, then grinned and said:
"Carpet bombing, it's a very standard tactic."
Kyle: "..."
Elder Muyu: "..."
conventional?
Is this level of destruction just normal?
The two felt their worldviews were being repeatedly rubbed into the ground.
Just then, an information soldier suddenly reported.
"Report! High-value target identified!"
"UAV T-03 has detected a high-speed moving unit in the area at coordinates C9-4!"
The image on the large screen immediately switched and zoomed in rapidly.
A strong figure was frantically weaving through the gaps in the artillery fire, moving at an astonishing speed, leaving trails of dust in its wake.
"The AI speed test results are in!" The information soldier's voice carried a hint of surprise.
"The average running speed is about 190 meters per second, and the burst speed when dodging artillery shells exceeds 240 meters per second!"
On the screen, the AI marked its movement path with a red trajectory line and listed detailed data next to it.
"It's this one."
Long Zhan recognized him as the demon leader Woraz, whom he had encountered outside the forward base ten days ago.
"This guy is really fast," the staff officer remarked.
"Last time, it withstood a 155mm high-explosive shell, but after switching to armor-piercing shells, it kept dodging them."
"Due to the scattering and circular probability errors, coupled with its super maneuverability, it is difficult to hit accurately, which is indeed tricky."
Lin Mo clicked his tongue in amazement upon hearing this.
"This speed, it's practically superhuman, isn't it?"
The staff officer nodded.
"According to Academician Liu's research on its skin tissue, it is basically impossible for artillery shells to seriously damage it, and armor-piercing shells cannot completely penetrate it. It is a truly terrifying creature."
"Fortunately, I was prepared this time."
Lin Mo asked curiously:
"What is it?"
Long Zhan's lips curled into a smile as he interjected:
"Its defensive capabilities are high, but what about missiles filled with cubic nitrogen explosives?"
"Its reaction speed is fast, but what about hypersonic speeds?"
Lin Mo's eyes lit up.
"You mean hypersonic missiles!"
"That's right!" Long Zhan's expression turned cold.
"Last time, we suffered heavy losses because we were limited by the teleportation portal and the time was too short!"
"Since it can dodge subsonic missiles, then let it try the big one I specially prepared for it."
"Now, it's time to avenge those martyrs!"
