God of Technology: Creating the Internet in Another World-Chapter 487: Attack Commences

As the war dragged on, more and more intelligent ice spirits started showing up on the battlefield.

Sometimes you’d even see several intelligent ice spirits gathered together, rallying the monsters they’d rounded up and strategizing how to attack.

"We can’t clash with them head-on on the frontlines anymore. Their firepower is insane—every single time they unleash endless ’heavenly fire.’"

"So what do you want to do?"

"We should set up tons of traps along the route, then pretend to retreat. Make these guys think we’ve pulled back, so they’ll go looking for the next gathering point. They’ll never expect us to start laying traps."

Gotta say, these intelligent ice spirits were gradually starting to develop some... tactics.

Sure, most of the time they still just sent their monster minions charging in mindlessly.

But being able to think of traps was huge progress.

Right then, one of the intelligent ice spirits suddenly looked up at the sky.

Faintly, he felt this sense of crisis.

Like there was something really dangerous up in the sky.

"What’s wrong? You spot something?"

"Seems like there’s some movement in the sky? Could it be that stuff they use to transport supplies?"

"How’s that possible? Those things can’t even fly that high. We can see them. We could knock them down by just chucking something at them."

Looking at the sky—no movement at all. That dusty night sky looked no different from usual.

Their eyes rapidly scanned the piled-up clouds, moonlight, and starlight, but they couldn’t see anything abnormal.

As for magic power or whatever—couldn’t sense that at all either.

Everyone figured this ice spirit was just being paranoid.

They’d all seen those flying things the Church of Technology people used when delivering supplies.

That stuff didn’t really put much pressure on them.

And there was absolutely no way it could be in a situation where they couldn’t find it now.

However, right then, a sense of crisis washed over every single ice spirit.

Every ice spirit’s expression changed drastically.

The situation seemed to be going way beyond their expectations.

"High-altitude attack!!!"

"There’s something in the sky!!!"

"Damn it, how can those guys fly that high!? How can we not sense them!?"

Countless howls rang out. To the ice spirits, these were incomprehensible shouts of alarm and panic. To humans, though, it was just constant screeching.

Everything was already too late.

Even though these ice spirits had noticed something was off, they’d only detected the Hellfire falling down.

The moment Hellfire hit the ground, those intelligent ice spirits’ eyes went wide, staring at everything in disbelief.

As for the other ice spirits, they got swallowed up by flames before they could even react.

Fire far more powerful and with wider coverage than legendary-level magic erupted right in these ice spirits’ position.

Scorching flames burst open like fireworks.

Even facing an endless legion of magicians, this much Hellfire hitting all of a sudden could only cause massive damage.

Let alone when they were just facing a bunch of rabble gathered together.

Like a carpet, the full-coverage Hellfire instantly devoured everything around them.

The tech combat clerics at the distant gathering point watched this scene, couldn’t help clicking their tongues in amazement.

From inside the gathering point, they couldn’t shoot that far.

Flying tech clerics seemed able to launch large-scale attacks from completely different angles.

That was really good news!

In the sky, as long as they flew high enough, the enemy couldn’t possibly attack them. And up in the sky, controlling the airspace, they could often unleash even stronger power.

In the battlefield livestream.

The viewers who’d been getting drowsy because it was already late suddenly snapped awake.

"!!! What’s going on?"

"That over there looks like an ice spirit gathering point!"

"Tech combat clerics are doing surprise attacks now? First time seeing this!"

"Didn’t see them preparing themselves though!"

"That distance definitely isn’t something cannons can reach."

"I originally thought we’d have to wait a while for things to heat up, wait for more and more ice spirits to gather over there before battles could break out. I was just waiting to watch some small-scale raids for fun—how’d they suddenly attack?"

"Could it be tech clerics from other positions making the move?"

"Probably not, right? Everyone’s got their own stuff to deal with."

"..." 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

When flames erupted in the distance, the originally quiet livestream suddenly filled with bullet comments.

Even late at night, the people watching the battles didn’t seem any fewer.

Just that there hadn’t been any explosive moments before, so not many people were discussing stuff in the livestream.

Right then, up in the sky.

"Hellfire delivery fully complete!"

"Now detecting magic power fluctuations."

"Target gathering point has been destroyed."

"Small number of ice spirits still active in core area!"

"Three suspected intelligent ice spirits have started fleeing."

Margaret listened to report after report, rapidly integrating all kinds of info.

Then she launched a pursuit order.

Bombing—that combat mode only worked for the earlier surprise attack.

Now that these elite ice spirits had started fleeing, they needed to use some other methods.

Following her command, several Dragon Knight Type 1 aircraft began pursuit.

A gun barrel—or you could say cannon barrel—appeared beneath the Dragon Knight Type 1 aircraft.

The others were in charge of cover and searching for what seemed like large-scale enemies.

Descending to a certain altitude, closing the distance to a certain range, a glow began gathering beneath the aircraft.

BOOM—

A massive beam of light with a diameter as wide as a soccer ball shot out from beneath the aircraft, directly blasting one of the intelligent ice spirits.

That ice spirit seemed like it still wanted to resist. The surrounding temperature started rapidly dropping, a blue glow emerged, then—the ice spirit got blasted into powder.

Who was gonna wait for this guy to slowly counterattack?

The aircraft’s attack wouldn’t give anyone a chance.

In the distance, watching through the livestream, the viewers were completely stunned.

"Oh my god! What is that thing?"

"Looks like it flew down from the sky!?"

"The Church of Technology has mastered Magic Conductors that can fly!?"

"Using flight to conduct raids—that’s way too bold."

"Now I finally get why they could fight from such a far distance."

"Too bad the distance is way too far. Can’t see clearly at all."

"I wanna see that aircraft!"

"Seems like it’s got lots of different attack methods too."

"..."

People who’d already been shocked by the suddenly erupting battle, after seeing the Dragon Knight Type 1 aircraft, completely lost it.

Folks who’d just heard about the fighting and came to watch were all gaping too.
