Chapter 55: Chapter 55: Listen to this hymn of courage
The Herrscher of Thunder is coming towards us!
Edwin stood up subconsciously, and sure enough, he saw a straight line moving towards the sea. For a moment he didn't understand why.
The Herrscher is still full of mysteries. If we predict based on human thinking, there is no reason for her to allow a force that can threaten her to stay by her side.
At this moment, he even regretted being too arrogant and bringing the fleet so close to the coast. He didn't expect that the Herrscher would ignore such a big piece of fat meat in the sea and rush straight towards him.
Fear was also in the air in the bridge. Everyone had just witnessed the destructive force, the power to crush everything in its path.
Even if it's scary, you don't have to retreat. For the vast majority of Fire Moth warriors, they have already decided to sacrifice themselves to save humanity. The only difference is in the methods and means.
[Light yourself up and illuminate the future for mankind]
This sentence had already been engraved into their bones through the blood of their companions and enemies, so everyone from the staff officer to Edwin hesitated for only a moment before immediately entering combat mode.
"Full fleet maneuver, deploy defensive formation."
"Calibrating the Honkai radar, deploying full firepower."
"Calling 'White Swan', prepare to drop N1 explosive bombs in advance."
"Notify the land forces to enter the city of Changkong and begin the clearing and search and rescue mission."
Toot--
Sharp alarms rang out, and the remaining fighter planes began to fly away one by one. The chocolate-board-like vertical launch barrels unfolded one by one, and the close in defense guns and electromagnetic main guns turned toward the land, adjusting the muzzles with the assistance of the fire control radar.
Dozens of warships surrounded the aircraft carrier, and the flags of the Fire Moths fluttered in the sea breeze. This gave people an infinite sense of security and made the world silent for a moment. Everyone held their breath and just looked at the giant source of destruction coming from the east.
For some reason, the Herrscher of Thunder was not very fast and did not bring any Honkai beasts.
Perhaps it was arrogance, or perhaps some other reason, but this gave the Fire Moth an opportunity to aim, and after the failed attack just now, countless staff officers also improved their tactics.
"Fire!"
call out!
The electromagnetic gun launched a long needle-like shell at ten times the speed of sound, and then there was a continuous "boom boom boom" sound, with flames lingering. Hundreds of missiles broke away from the hull, turned around in the air, and rushed quickly into the distance. Before that -
God's scepter fell from the sky first.
Um?
The silver haired girl suddenly stopped, cast her eyes towards the sky, twisted her wrist, and swung an arc of lightning towards the sky.
Just like before, the scepter disintegrated in mid-air without exerting any power at all. The Herrscher was too lazy to even look at it and just stretched out his left palm in front of him.
Tsk tsk...
The alloy shell hit the 'wall' and disappeared in an instant, just like throwing ice into a furnace. The Herrscher of Thunder smiled coldly, then frowned.
The shells continued to fire, and the missiles behind them covered the sky and the sun. However, there was no time to use electromagnetic pulses to make these human creations go out of control.
dodge.
After a brief thought, she dived toward the ground at an extremely fast speed, dodging as nimbly as a butterfly, occasionally swinging a knife.
Missiles guided by Honkai energy were chasing her closely, and dense trails filled the sky. From time to time, a fireball exploded, and the shrapnel and shock waves were offset by the Honkai energy released by the Herrscher.
Boom boom boom!
The explosions continued, and it looked very lively, but in fact, no one was hurt. The Herrscher dodging encouraged the Fire Moth.
If the Herrscher of Thunder had stopped in mid air and easily deflected the attack, that would have been hopelessness. But now it seems that this monster can also dodge, doesn't that prove that the attack was effective?
With firepower at full blast, fighter planes taking off from airports all over the place also joined in the fun, pressing the launch button and turning around to run, and then the cycle repeated, with all kinds of ammunition pouring down like they were free.
Mosquito bites are not fatal, but they are annoying and very energy consuming.
"Then destroy you first."
The Herrscher decisively changed her target. Since she had lost sight of Ryan due to her evasion, she rushed towards the sea in a straight line, close to the ground.
There was lightning in front, exploding sonic rings beside him, and dozens of missiles chasing him behind. The scene was shocking and made everyone in the fleet's scalp tingle.
Edwin expression kept changing. He still underestimated the Herrscher of Thunder. His improved tactics only made her dodge and still couldn't cause any harm.
He glanced at the smoke filled Changkong City, and his expression gradually became ashamed and determined.
My mission is accomplished, and it is time to atone.
"Where is the White Swan?"
"There are still five minutes until the throwing point. We didn't expect the Herrscher of Thunder to be so fast."
Not only is it fast, but it is also very flexible. As a new generation of metal hydrogen nuclear weapons, the equivalent of the bomb is 18,000 tons of TNT. To break through the Herrscher defense, she must be placed at the center of the explosion.
But now everyone has seen that the Herrscher is intelligent and knows how to dodge and defend, plus with that speed, when the White Swan drops the bomb from an altitude of 10,000 meters, no one else will know where to run to.
According to the original plan, the task of entanglement of the Herrscher should have been undertaken by Elysia, but the latter has not yet arrived at the battlefield.
"The fleet retreats at full speed, and fires at full force." He paused, his tone growing colder, "Also, this ship moves forward, and inform the White Swan to use this ship as the drop point. This is the only way."
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire bridge fell into deathly silence, and those who had previously questioned his avoidance of battle also looked at him sideways, somewhat confused as to why this man's attitude was so completely opposite.
Edwin seemed not to notice these gazes, and simply said, "I have to make some mistakes, but everyone, we also have to fulfill some responsibilities. As a fire-chasing moth, do we still want to get away with it?"
There is no deliberate sensationalism, nor any inspiring speech, or perhaps this is the original intention of Fire Moth:
The fire Mei not go out, but the moth will surely burn out.
The sound of machine guns roared and close in defense missiles were fired continuously. The sea surface was like a heavy rain. The lightning dodged in a winding manner, but was still getting closer.
The silence lasted for a moment, and no one broke down in tears or got excited, just as the branch chief had said.
Everyone who dares to join the Fire Moths and confront the Third Herrscher should be prepared, instead of realizing the need for sacrifice only now.
"Yes, full left, full speed turn."
"All weapons are in overload mode, and the N1 explosive bomb has entered the delivery process."
A giant steel ship weighing one hundred thousand tons drew an arc on the sea, standing out from the fleet. The Herrscher of Thunder, who was dodging left and right, immediately noticed this situation.
She didn't know what an aircraft carrier was, nor did she know what a command center was. Anyway, this big ship was left behind, and she could use it as a breakthrough point, rush in and cut these annoying ships in half one by one.
These guys...
Ryan stood on the shore, the ground around him was burning. He just happened to see the giant ship turn around, feeling somewhat surprised, but also somewhat calm.
What surprised him was that he didn't expect that Edwin was so tough and dared to rush out as bait. In Ryan original plan, the Fire Moth fleet should use firepower to consume the energy of the Herrscher, and then slowly withdraw from the battlefield.
The Herrscher is not invincible. It is difficult for him to break through the bombardment of tens of thousands of shells. There is no need to turn back and seek death.
But he was also very calm. Although he often scolded the higher-ups for being stupid, Ryan also knew that the Fire Moths were actually a group of idealists, and not everyone wanted to be a hero in the dark.
Ordinary people are still enjoying their daily lives. These people are either working in research institutes or fighting on the front lines. At least most of them have the same ideals:
Sacrifice yourself and find a way out for human Era. Under this premise, no matter it is evil or justice, you must try it. Just like the Changkong City this time, the ultimate goal is to wake up all mankind and never waste energy again.
Ryan does not agree with this practice, but he does not oppose this idea.
In the face of this ultimate goal, the so-called right and wrong have become very vague. Ryan just opened his eyes wide to witness their awakening.
Because the Herrscher had approached to zero distance, the cannon fire stopped suddenly, and the world fell into a mysterious silence. Then, accompanied by the teeth grinding sound of steel tearing, the tiny human body collided with a 100,000-ton steel warship.
Twist, tear, melt!
There was nothing to say. The steel plate was cut like tofu, lightning penetrated into the hull, and a series of explosions spread from the bow to the stern.
Sizzle
The aircraft carrier was twisting and being dragged into the sea by gravity. Such a shocking scene was reflected in Ryan eyes, making him hold his breath.
From beginning to end, he had never seen the branch chief. Facing the sea, watching the giant ship sinking and the huge bomb falling from the sky, a surge of blood rushed into his heart.
Many things are indeed difficult to distinguish right from wrong, but only courage and sacrifice last forever.
"Herrscher." Ryan raised his spear, and closed his eyes because of the 'sun' that suddenly bloomed on the ground.
"Hear this hymn of courage!"
