Chapter 585 Showing the Demon Tide the Power of Industrial Civilization

The sound continued to ring through the command channel at the Arctic port.

"The expansion of the sea portal is complete, and its width meets navigation standards."

"First batch of ships, ready to pass."

On the sea, the first unmanned frigate started moving.

It has no personnel and does not need to worry about crew risks, making it the most suitable initial testing unit.

The ship slowly accelerated, its bow breaking through the water, and entered the blue portal.

The next second, it appeared in the waters surrounding Antarctica.

A cold sea breeze pressed against my face.

The ship's sensors quickly deployed, scanning the surrounding sea conditions, radiation levels, wind speed, and ocean currents.

"The unmanned frigate passed through intact."

"Communication is normal, coordinates in the Antarctic Ocean confirmed."

The Arctic Fleet commander immediately gave the order.

"Main fleet, proceed in sequence."

Then, the massive fleet moved, with destroyers entering the portal one after another, followed closely by anti-aircraft ships.

The replenishment ship is positioned in the middle of the formation.

The aircraft carrier strike group, escorted by a fleet of frigates, slowly passed through the giant blue gate.

This scene was extremely spectacular.

Just a moment ago, they were gathering outside the Arctic port.

The next moment, the bow of the ship cut through the icy surface of the Antarctic sea.

The blue light reflected on the hull, as if coating the giant steel ship with a layer of cold flame.

The storms in the Antarctic Ocean did not stop because of their arrival.

Waves crashed against the bow of the ship, shattering into white foam.

The fleet began to deploy according to the predetermined formation.

The air defense ships moved outwards to establish an air surveillance perimeter.

The destroyer moved into a long-range strike position.

The unmanned fleet and submarines dispersed further outwards, responsible for anti-submarine warfare, reconnaissance, and luring the enemy.

The replenishment ship remained in the central area, ready to provide continuous replenishment for carrier-based aircraft and unmanned platforms.

The aircraft carrier adjusted its course, the deck lights came on, and one after another, carrier-based drones were pushed into their takeoff positions.

Tian Shu Underground City, Central Command Hall.

Satellites, drones, robotic dogs, naval fleets, and land delivery points—all information is being integrated into the same operational situation map.

On the Antarctic battlefield, the blue markers are no longer just the two isolated points of Tianxiong City and Tianyong City.

New blue areas are rapidly forming on the ice fields and sea surfaces.

An aide looked at the screen, his voice clearly trembling with suppressed excitement.

"Land delivery point established."

"The naval fleet has completed the first phase of deployment."

"Joint fire support successfully linked."

Han Niba stared at the ever-expanding blue area and asked in a deep voice:

"Very good. How is the situation with the demons?"

"The missiles have now completed their fifth strike."

"From the direction of the Freedom, the Washington, and the Ershou, a large number of demons are still advancing towards Tianxiong City."

"The burrowing dragon, the giant siege beast, and the suspected high-level demons have been marked in red."

Han Niba stared at the small red dot on the screen.

The red dots pressed towards Tianxiong City from the direction of the three fallen underground cities, and then disappeared under the successive strikes of missiles.

Han Niba picked up the communicator, and his voice echoed across the Antarctic land delivery points, the naval fleet, Tianxiong City, and the command chains of various underground cities.

"Attention all units"

"A joint firepower system has been established for the Antarctic battlefield."

"Prioritize attacking burrowing dragons, giant siege beasts, and high-level demon units."

"Long-range firepower, commence coverage."

The order has been issued.

On the sea surface outside Antarctica, the vertical launch unit of the first destroyer was activated.

Then came the second and the third.

More warships' launch silos were subsequently activated.

In the cold sea breeze, missiles streaked into the sky, trailing trails of fire.

They pierced through the low-altitude clouds and, guided by satellites and drones, flew towards the distant demon horde.

At the land delivery point, the long-range rocket artillery vehicle also completed angle calibration.

The launch container vibrated slightly.

The next second, a barrage of rockets soared into the sky, trailing long plumes of flame as they pierced the dark Antarctic sky.

On the aircraft carrier deck, a swarm of drones began to take off.

One after another.

They formed a formation and pressed towards the battlefield.

The frigid winds of Antarctica still howl, and the crimson tide of the demons continues its advance.

From this moment on, however, they were no longer facing just the isolated defenses of the Tianxiong Underground City.

Rather, it was the entire war machine mobilized by the Great Xia Dynasty.

On land, the robot army has taken its positions; on the sea, the fleet's cannons have turned and locked on; and in the sky, swarms of drones are rushing toward the battlefield.

Behind the portal, the various underground cities in the Arctic continue to send in ammunition, equipment, tanks, and fighter jets.

This Antarctic continent, shrouded in apocalypse and a demonic tide, has finally welcomed the true main force of the Great Xia!

At the land delivery point, the first advance order was issued.

"Ground troops, advance towards Interception Line One and cut off the demonic tide towards the Freedom."

"The No. 2 and No. 3 tank groups spread out to the flanks to prevent the earth-burrowing dragon from bypassing them."

The moment the command was transmitted to the battlefield network, the steel legion on the ice plains moved.

At the very front are rows of robot dogs.

They sped along the ice, their mechanical joints constantly adjusting their angles in the snow.

Each robot dog is not a standalone combat unit.

They are the eyes of the entire battlefield fire control network.

Behind them, combat robots formed a propulsion array.

The front-line robots, armed with plasma rifles and heavy shields, are responsible for suppressing the enemy from the front.

The mid-range robots carry miniature missile pods and electromagnetic guns, and are responsible for striking targets at medium and long ranges.

The engineering robots in the back row drag modular ammunition boxes and energy boxes, establishing supply nodes as they go.

Further back was a group of unmanned combat vehicles.

Wheeled armored vehicles stretched out in a line on the ice, tracked fire platforms held the center line, and the turrets of unmanned tanks slowly rotated, their cannons aimed at the distant black waves.

Those are demons.

The demons surging out from the direction of the Freedom Dungeon are crossing the ice plains, spreading across the snow like a swarm of black ants.

The demons below the third rank charged forward, while the Corruptors dragged their swollen bellies, green acid dripping continuously from their mouthparts.

The giant siege beast mingled with the demonic tide, and with each step it took, the ice layer would tremble with a dull sound.

Deeper still, earth-burrowing dragons continued to bulge the ground, attempting to bypass the main line of fire from underground.

If they were allowed to rush outside Tianxiong City and join forces with the demons from the direction of the Shengdun and Ershou, the pressure on the Tianxiong underground city would instantly double.

Therefore, the Great Xia must stop them here.

The fire control system's cold countdown sounded.

"three."

"two."

"one."

"Fire."

The next second, the ice field lit up.

The robots in the front row pulled their triggers simultaneously.

Beams of blue-white plasma tore through the wind and snow, striking the vanguard of the demonic tide.

The leading dog was pierced through, its body still tumbling forward due to inertia, before being torn apart by subsequent fire.

Electromagnetic projectiles roared out from the muzzle of the unmanned combat vehicle.

The high-speed projectile struck the giant siege beast's knee, causing its thick shell to crack and black blood to spray onto the snow.

Before it could regain its footing, the second and third electromagnetic projectiles hit the same spot in succession.

The enormous monster let out a deep roar and tilted its body to one side.

Immediately afterwards, an anti-armor missile was launched from the side launcher of the armored vehicle, leaving a trail of flame as it entered its wound.

boom!

Half of the giant siege beast's body exploded, with bone armor, flesh, and shattered ice rising into the sky together!
