Sky-cracking Rider-Chapter 1278 - 1244: Bombardment

"I'll think of a way to get Miyoshi here too. This guy is useless in helping, but absolutely an expert in causing trouble."

Louis Landon decisively chose his collaboration partners. He would use formal tactics, upright and straightforward, while the Monk would use surprise tactics, unexpected and unconventional, complementing each other.

No matter how tough the Persian Sovereignty's attitude is, it's merely a third-rate sovereignty. Even if they disregard the monk, they have to consider Buddha, and they need to weigh their decisions carefully. If they anger a few top sovereignties, they could be annihilated in seconds.

This is the advantage Chen Fei currently has by borrowing the Global United Defense Committee's reputation to create a mess worldwide. Looking at the tragic ruins of the former headquarters in Hablav City now, it's possible this kid is partly responsible.

"No need to worry here for now; let's head to the Desert Peninsula first."

After investigating the core of the "Giant Turtle Star" anomaly region, Chen Fei altered the initial plan.

Upon observing the kilometer-long flying ship ascend and depart, the Persian Sovereignty's garrison outside the "Giant Turtle Star" anomaly region finally breathed a sigh of relief. Their hard rejection did have some effect. No matter what the other party did, they never got the chance to enter the "Giant Turtle Star" (though they were sneakily attacked by any means necessary).

Each anomaly region has a different situation, unpredictable and ever-changing. After all this detour, we're back where we started.

The Desert Peninsula Sovereignty's time in control of the "Water God Star" anomaly region is running out.

"The Desert Peninsula already has no time left."

Gazing out of the bridge's porthole, Chen Fei looked at the undulating sea of sand, shimmering and reflecting the dazzling sunlight in the center.

This time, without the help of Mr. Brown's space ability, the entire kilometer-long flying ship "No.2 Command Ship" flew directly from the Persian Sovereignty to the Desert Peninsula, only to witness the desert overwhelmed by floods.

The areas adjacent to the water are sparsely verdant, making it hard to distinguish whether they are native plants or alien species spilled over from the "Water God Star" anomaly region.

Who knows how many "Flying Ship Black Vine" spores have been carried out.

"Has the 'Water God Star' finally fallen?"

Inside the bridge, everyone crowded to the massive porthole, using telescopes and even spells to observe the ocean in the desert, anxiously looking for signs of the damn vine's appearance.

In biological classification, "Flying Ship Black Vine," categorized as primitive fern plants, is extremely fragile at the spore stage. However, once it grows successfully, its numbers will expand geometrically. If not controlled intensely, it could easily overrun the entire Blue Star surface and underground.

"How could such a huge loophole appear unnoticed? What are the garrison troops doing?"

Someone in Lord Landon's team was cursing, as no one wants their hard firefighting efforts ruined by incompetent teammates.

From the Desert Peninsula Sovereignty controlling the "Water God Star" anomaly region to the Persian Sovereignty occupying the "Giant Turtle Star" anomaly region, each more stubborn than the last. They just won't listen to any good advice, insisting on guarding their own little piece of land, refusing to consider the bigger picture.

"Infiltration, that's why 'Water God Star' is the most troublesome one! 'Adam,' deploy the ultraviolet drones, send the reconnaissance drones out, and assess the spread."

Chen Fei sighed, raising his hand to gesture.

From the beginning, his choice was the most correct, but now he's back, still facing difficulties.

Despite many attempts, they refused to allow Chen Fei to take over the already compromised defense line of the "Water God Star" anomaly region. Just look at how bad it's gotten—it's practically flooding the seven armies, yet they continue to stubbornly hold on.

After discovering that "Flying Ship Black Vine" spores are particularly sensitive to specific ultraviolet wavelength ranges, a batch of high-power UV emitters was temporarily manufactured as a precaution, specifically for situations like this, and now they're finding their use.

As long as the spores suspended in water can be promptly eradicated, the seedlings that have grown can still be managed later. The most economical solution is physical removal, uprooting them before a new generation of spores is produced, trying to prevent the "Flying Ship Black Vine" and spore carrier "Pod Flying Ship" from infesting Blue Star's atmosphere.

We could also use herbicides like Paraquat or defoliants targeting plants, but these have too much of an ecological impact. Low concentration is ineffective; high concentration might result in killing a thousand enemies but losing a thousand and three of our own, rendering it entirely self-defeating.

Engaging in a biological resource attrition war with the Sagali civilization, the Blue Star civilization stands no chance of winning. After all, this is the opponent's home field advantage.

The best strategy is preventing a single spore from entering Blue Star, but unfortunately, this threshold has already been breached.

One by one, the drones, equipped with high-power ultraviolet emitters, launched from the kilometer-long flying ship and headed towards the waters ahead. The converged ultraviolet beams pierced through the water surface, shooting straight below.

Fortunately, the water depth is still within the intensity range of low-altitude irradiation. The drone swarm scanned each square meter of water repeatedly, like a sweeping beam, further expanding the effective spore-killing ultraviolet rays' coverage through refraction and diffuse reflection.

Not only were the "Flying Ship Black Vine" spores exterminated, but various bacteria, fungi, and viruses were also annihilated. Even the most resilient virus couldn't survive more than a second of continuous exposure, essentially destroyed in an instant, thus symbolizing the principle of killing a thousand but losing a thousand and three.

The shimmering flood area seemed to have been dyed, turning the previously transparent water surface a pale purple.

Even with specific ultraviolet wavelength regions used for widespread irradiation, while UV can penetrate a certain depth of the water layer, it can't pass through sand. Therefore, some slip through is unavoidable. Only once they germinate can they be noticed; otherwise, spores as tiny as sand grains hiding within the sand sea can't be distinguished by human effort, and even AI may have difficulty handling such workload.

When Chen Fei's kilometer-long flying ship approached the area near the "Water God Star" anomaly region's perimeter garrison, he found that inside and outside the camp, ultraviolet light poles had also been erected. The pale purple light was illuminating the water continually overflowing from the camp, and it was clear that the situation could no longer be contained.

These specially made light poles, compared to the high-power ultraviolet emitters mounted on the drones by Chen Fei, are far inferior, both in terms of number, individual power, or total combined power. Regarding the current situation, they are undoubtedly inadequate for the task, as the irradiation dose is wholly insufficient.

The only commendable aspect is detecting that the ultraviolet light poles emit a 222nm wavelength, the only specific band considered safe for humans and animals while effectively sterilizing and killing "Flying Ship Black Vine" spores. Otherwise, it wouldn't just mean losing a thousand and three; it could result in everyone's demise despite the enemy being untouched.

The ultraviolet emitters used by Chen Fei, however, employ a composite UV waveband, disregarding the scorching harm to people and animals but providing optimal irradiation effects and efficiency.

At a distance of 5 kilometers from the camp, the kilometer-long flying ship "No.2 Command Ship" received a warning from the garrison, prohibiting further approach, with some defense weapons locked onto the ship.

"'Adam,' send open communication and request to speak to the highest commander."

Even now, Chen Fei hasn't received a response from Miyoshi Xuesen at the Blue Star Global United Defense Committee Headquarters' top levels.

Probably still passing the buck around; you can't count on that useless bald donkey any time soon.

When there's trouble, it's the monk; when there's none, it's the bald donkey, even the thieving bald donkey.

The Miyoshi Monk, who approached Chen Fei with ulterior motives, had no status or respect to speak of. Those working in the shadows don't need respect or status; surviving to retire peacefully is already good enough.

The message was sent out clearly and unmistakably within a 100-kilometer radius.

1 minute passed.

2 minutes passed.

3 minutes passed.

After 5 minutes, the Desert Peninsula military stationed in the "Water God Star" Abnormal Region still showed no reaction, remaining completely indifferent to the airship 5 kilometers outside the camp, pretending not to see it.

"155 Demolition Bombs, 12 of them, initial velocity set at 5.7 Mach, 'Adam', assist in aiming."

Receiving no response, Chen Fei raised his hands on his own, aiming at the direction of the "Water God Star" Abnormal Region outside the bridge's floor-to-ceiling window, continuously pointing his fingers as if marking the impact points.

"Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing? That's legitimate sovereignty, it's not worth it!"

Seeing Chen Xiaoer's stance, ready to fight over a disagreement, Heseman Brown couldn't help but shiver. Even if they don't want to deal with you, don't let it get to your head! 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

The Desert Peninsula Sovereignty is not a small sovereignty ranking beyond the top hundred in national power; starting a war with such a sovereignty alone would be a mess even the First Sovereign would struggle to handle.

"'Rookie', don't act recklessly! Using force is unwise and won't solve the problem."

Louis Landon was more sensible, having lived two lifetimes and with a combined age of over a hundred years, he had seen all kinds of people and experienced all sorts of situations. His life experience and mental fortitude were not something young Chen Fei could match.

"Haha, I know what I'm doing!"

Chen Fei completed the aiming and locking operation, with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI "Adam" for calibration and correction.

He gestured OK to the S-Class Space Ability User and Lord Landon beside him and then ordered without a hint of hesitation.

"Fire, 12 rapid shots!"

12 small black dots trailed faint streaks as they roared away, the electromagnetic railgun array on the side of the Kilometer Airship performed a textbook rapid-fire.

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom…

Like the top of an overturned bowl, twelve smoke clusters rose from the "Isolation".

Heseman Brown: "..."

Damn it, my Psi Skill was attacked by our own people?!

An S-Class Psi Skill couldn't be easily shattered by a dozen 155 mm caliber Demolition Bombs. It's not about the power or amount of the shells; the mere physical impact simply couldn't break the spatial rules, just like you can't kill someone with a glance—they're in entirely different realms of rules.

The impact points closest to the ground camp were still hundreds of meters away. Limited by the arc of "Isolation", even the angle of shrapnel couldn't reach inside the camp, so it was just a loud noise.

It was quite alarming, but when it came to an actual threat, there wasn't even a hint of one.

This round of shelling wasn't because Chen Fei couldn't solve the problem but because he wanted to deal with the problem-makers.

Although dealing with the problem-makers is one way, the aftermath would be huge, tantamount to declaring war on the Desert Peninsula Sovereignty.

How can an ordinary citizen declare war?

Just wait to be judged!

As a data connection request accessed the "No.2 Command Ship", the figure and agitated voice of the highest commander of the troops stationed in the "Water God Star" Abnormal Region appeared in the three-dimensional holographic projection inside the bridge.

"@#￥%&*（..."

Could it be admiration and praise for Chen Xiaoer's rapid-fire shelling, flowing endlessly like the waters of the Yangtze River… However, it was not!

Artificial Intelligence AI "Adam" automatically translated the dialect of the other party and converted it into subtitles.

In fact, it was quite the opposite.

Alright then! The other side was obviously scared, almost peed their pants, now seriously protesting, warning, and threatening.

If those 12 155s landed in the camp and swept the place, there wouldn't have been many big living people left. After all, those Demolition Bombs could flatten a football field, and the entire garrison camp wasn't nearly as large as 12 football fields.

"Speak human, I don't understand!"

Chen Fei's face was full of disdain, leaving the Desert Peninsula Sovereignty's commander stunned. Damn, I wasted so much breath, expression, and emotion, and your reaction is just this?
