Sky-cracking Rider

When the third and fourth Element Annihilation Bombs appeared simultaneously, the second one didn't even have time to unleash its Power of Annihilation before it was blown up mid-air by fierce intercepting fire.

Yet, the successful interception points of the two preceding Element Annihilation Bombs kept getting closer to the Cooperative Ship, indicating that the opponent's effective attack methods were also drawing nearer.

The intercepting fire formed by saturation shooting, despite its massive consumption of ammunition and energy, proved highly effective with its simple and brutal approach. If a single-hit probability isn't enough, then make it a thousand, or ten thousand, eventually achieving the needed overall hit.

If it can't be stopped this way, then perhaps one can only blame bad luck, a situation that occurs only rarely.

"Railgun battery, full firepower! 'Dragon Slayer Missile,' calculate interception point, fire!"

Compared to the escaping Crystal Jet, Chen Fei focused most of his attention on the two Element Annihilation Bombs speeding crazily forward.

Whether it's the Crystal Jet or Chen Fei's Cooperative Ship, conventional missiles rarely manage to down them with one strike; only the Element Annihilation Bomb can deal a fatal blow decisively.

The 'Mad Devil' Sun Ruzheng has already deployed all four Element Annihilation Bombs; unless using the Crystal Jet to perform an ultimate move, it's difficult to threaten the Cooperative Ship directly.

Moreover, during the time spent on preparing an ultimate move, the Cooperative Ship's fierce firepower has already poured onto Sun Ruzheng's vehicle. "Wild fists kill the old master" aptly describes this scenario.

A barrage composed of solid full-metal shells roared away uniformly, building a dense and immense interception net. Successfully, the two Element Annihilation Bombs penetrated within the 20-kilometer range of the Cooperative Ship, just a breath away from reaching the ship's body.

The immense computing power from planetary-level compute nodes was lavishly squandered, allowing Chen Fei's simulated Cooperative Ship to exert information processing capabilities far exceeding combat spaceships of the same specifications. At this moment, the supercomputing center used for "Ranking Battles" was dumbfounded, still setting up when the answer was already thrown in its face. What exactly am I doing here?

At this moment, the Cooperative Ship's 'Dragon Slayer Missile' met the two missiles carrying Element Annihilation Bombs head-on and suddenly blossomed into dazzling blue light, instantly covering a kilometer radius. The two Element Annihilation Bombs, unsuspecting, failed to dodge and were caught in the trap, the combat units along with the rocket engines vanished without exception.

From the economic standpoint, trading one Element Annihilation Bomb for two of the same kind is not a loss!

Sun Ruzheng was at a loss, with a mouthful of old blood, saying when competing on economic calculations, don't underestimate Chen Fei, an undergraduate in economics, even qualified for grad school.

"This ship accelerates, pursue the enemy aircraft with all might!"

Chen Fei withdrew his gaze, no longer looking at the recently achieved results but focusing entirely back on the Crystal Jet being chased down by four Tactical Jets like a dog. The opponent's tricks were exhausted, and the advantage-disadvantage gap caused by information disparity was widening step by step, a case of one misstep leading to complete defeat.

The Combat Mothership's tactics just happened to compensate for the shortcomings of a single ship, combining firepower and maneuverability. As long as the opponent is successfully trapped within its combat radius, the lone Crystal Jet will be like an insect caught in a web, ready to be slaughtered.

Supported by professionals, the Airship Battle Group tactic truly did justice to Chen Fei's special ability, outperforming his B-grade Metal Elemental Psychic Power beyond imagination.

With all four Element Annihilation Bombs in Sun Ruzheng's hands gone, and together with Chen Fei's Combat Spaceship deploying four Combat Aircraft, anti-air missiles and railguns occasionally rose from the mountains below... anyone could see the shifting balance of talents under these circumstances.

Though the Crystal Jet still retains some fighting power, the Combat Spaceship will not give it such a chance.

The four Tactical Jets split into pairs, attacking from one upper-left, one lower-right, in a layered encirclement that relentlessly entangled the 'Mad Devil' Sun Ruzheng's Crystal Jet, nullifying its 'Crazy Fire Forest Mountain' tactical traits completely.

Joking aside, neither can it charge closer nor flee farther away, any attempt at trick moves is locked down by the comprehensive air-to-ground firepower, leaving only another "Mountain" meaning: staying put and taking hits?

"Tactical Jet No. 3, 'Dragon Slayer Missile' ready! Joint target lock, Tactical Jet No. 1, strike the target, Tactical Jet No. 2, strike the target!"

Success comes at the cost of many; Chen Fei's captain's heart was as hard as iron, issuing the harshest orders. One of the four Tactical Jets carries an Element Annihilation Bomb, and the remaining three are all for cover. The art of tactics, often deception over reality and vice versa.

This is simulated combat, humanitarian concerns need not apply, anything goes. Chen Xiao'er is ruthlessly decisive, issues such orders without any mental burden or hesitation.

Adam: Joint target lock complete!

The integrated air-ground combat system was finally at 100% efficiency, with Sun Ruzheng having lost his strongest trump card, facing unavoidable disaster.

"I surrender!"

Just before Chen Fei issued the launch command for the 'Dragon Slayer Missile,' the Sky Knight 'Mad Devil' Sun Ruzheng conceded defeat.

This battle couldn't be fought.

If the last two Element Annihilation Bombs weren't thrown, he would likely lose instantly.

But having thrown them, no more than a delay, still failing to seize a comeback opportunity.

Chen Fei numbly stated, "Fire!"

Boom!~

One of the Tactical Jets released the 'Dragon Slayer Missile', hitting the target squarely in two seconds.

Whoa!

The spectators fell silent.

In the flight simulator cockpit, 'Mad Devil' Sun Ruzheng had a bewildered expression.

Huh? I've surrendered already, and you still proceed with an execution-style strike?

And under everyone's eyes.

Click!

The flight simulator cockpit opened up.

Seven or eight hands reached in, disengaging the safety restraints around Sun Ruzheng, then dragged him entirely out of the cockpit, and kept dragging him out of the hangar.

"'Rookie,' leave 'Mad Devil' to us, rest assured, he won't come trouble you!"

The old comrades knew 'Mad Devil' well; he was easygoing when not enraged, unstoppable once angered, definitely couldn't beat up the local younger brother.

"'Rookie,' you owe me an explanation...┗|｀O′|┛aaw~~"

Sun Ruzheng's roar echoed from outside the hangar.

Anyone with ability has a temper, the greater the ability, the bigger the temper.

Chen Xiao'er's last move was akin to a slap, stunning him on the ground, doesn't a Sky Knight care for dignity?

Never a wrong flight call sign, 'Mad Devil' unable to unleash his madness in simulated combat went wild in reality.

"Pin him down, hold his arm! Hug tight!"

"Got rope? No rope, clothes will do!"

"Old Sun, calm down!"

"I'm not listening, not listening, not listening..."

"..."

The First Sovereign's combat pilots were in chaos, astonishing the 'Americas Gang.'

"Hiss..."

Chen Fei only realized belatedly, oh dear, impulsively acted out, not sure if Senior Sun Ruzheng is willing to accept this explanation.

"Rookie" Chen Fei vs. "Mad Devil" Sun Ruzheng's simulated duel decided the winner and loser, concluding the fourth round of the "Ranking Battle."

Chen Fei, who should have been eliminated in this round, unexpectedly advanced to the fifth round, signifying his qualification for the true top hundred strong, even if on a true battlefield, his tactical value, unyielding compared to a Sky Knight with a Crystal Jet.

The characteristic of becoming a One Man Army would be known more broadly.

Evening, customary tactics lecture time.

Chen Fei saw the black-and-blue 'Mad Devil' Sun Ruzheng again and apologized, "Sorry, I reacted on impulse."

Simultaneously, he took out a fine bottle of wine, though not a high-grade item, merely a local small brand from Cangqiong Star. The wine was of good quality, yet due to not being on the interstellar trade quota list, such wine couldn't be found on Blue Star.

Sun Ruzheng's lips and eyes twitched together, his anger long dissipated, with blood rushing quickly, beaten back even faster. This time, he had no intention to pursue further, generously said, "Forget it, you're an amateur, not a professional, understandable."

This sentence gave both parties a lea-way to step down.

"Here's a glass first, friendship forever?"

Offering a set of crystal-clear wine glasses, sharing drinks.

Friendship first, combat second?
