"Hmm?" the Silver Duke asked, puzzled.
“No infrared radiation, no temperature, no vital signs,” the operator said. “Unable to lock on!”
“Use the interceptor missile system,” the Silver Duke said.
In an instant, all the airships fired a barrage of bullets into the sky. The barrage shot out in a fan shape, and if a missile were to come, it would crash into this dense barrage.
However, the Hyakume-ki is not a missile.
It is a demigod-level shikigami.
The Ten Directions World!
But then Hyakume-ki's figure in the night sky suddenly stopped, no longer approaching the fleet. She raised her hands and stretched them downwards in mid-air!
The world suddenly became chaotic and disordered, like a Rubik's Cube, being turned, turned, and turned!
In the blink of an eye, dozens of airships of the Silver City fleet were shredded by this invisible, sharp, and terrifying force!
Ever since Qing Chen started collecting eyeballs for Hyakume-ki, he has collected pairs of A-grade eyeballs, and finally even filled the gap left by a demigod, the Silver Duke!
Now that Hyakume-ki has the 'main eye' in the palms of both hands, his strength has long been firmly above that of a demigod.
Just like how Boss He crushed Silver City back then, she's now going to do it all again!
The airship carrying the Silver Duke and others narrowly escaped death, as it was on the edge of the cut.
The Black Knights were terrified.
Although the person who came was not He Jinqiu, he was no more amiable than He Jinqiu!
"Didn't they say there weren't many demigods in the Eastern Continent? How come there's just a demigod jumping out here, and with such terrifying destructive power?!" the Twelfth Black Knight exclaimed in horror.
At this moment, Hyakume descended again, flashed in front of the airships, and ruthlessly cut them into pieces.
"Let's retreat now, or we'll miss our chance!"
The Silver Duke sneered, "Retreat? We must not retreat!"
He's a suicide squad member; there's no reason for him to retreat.
The next second, the Silver Duke ordered: "All airships, release interceptor barrages again! Launch all drone swarms and activate self-destruct mode. Anyone who gets within 10 meters of her, self-destruct! Drones in the sky, find Kamishiro Yunluo and kill him!"
Looking at the swarm of drones frantically sweeping towards the Hyakume-ki from the sky, Kamishiro Unra sighed, "They can't scare them away."
Hyakume-ki is not yet in its complete form and cannot sustain continuous combat.
Shikigami are ultimately not as powerful as orthodox demigods.
But then, one drone after another approached Hyakume-ki and quickly detonated.
The sky was ablaze with what looked like a grand fireworks display, and Hyakume-ki was tossed about by the air currents amidst the flames.
Within minutes, Hyakume-ki lost her ability to move quickly, and she was surrounded by swarms of drones...
Hyakume looked up at Kamishiro Unra in the sky, her eyes filled with apology.
At that moment, dozens of drones approached and exploded around her.
She transformed into a ball of white light and flew back to the Divine Bridge of the Divine Era Cloud.
Shen Daiyunluo turned away from the battlefield below and urged Bai Rongyi to fly north.
Inside the airship, the Black Knights watched as Shindai Yunluo flew away, shouting, "Don't let him escape! Chase after him! He's not flying very fast!"
The Silver Duke sneered, "A bunch of useless trash. If we didn't need you to support the Silver City fleet, we would have thrown you all off the airship today."
This generation of the Black Knights is exceptionally inexperienced.
The Black Knights were puzzled: "What do you mean?"
“He’s flying north, clearly trying to lead us back north. He’s slowed down, almost as if he’s afraid we won’t be able to catch up,” the Silver Duke said. “Kamishiro Yunluo is risking his life to buy time for Joker so that the PTA members have more time to evacuate.”
"So what do we do now?" the Black Knights asked.
“Of course, we’ll continue flying south,” the Silver Duke said calmly. “I’ve said it before, our only target is the Joker, and our route will never change. Don’t worry, Shindai Yunluo will come back for us. Prepare the remaining drones and tracking missiles, and open fire as soon as he returns.”
At this moment, the God of the Azure Dragon's head, watching the remaining hundred or so airships of Silver City gradually disappear into the distance, was completely unaffected by him and continued to resolutely carry out the mission to go to City 10.
There's nothing we can do.
"We can only drag this out with our lives," said Shindai Yunluo with a laugh, then patted the horn on the top of the white dragon's head: "I hope your next master won't have such a miserable life! Let's go, let's die!"
This young nobleman speaks of death with such nonchalance.
The massive white dragon swayed its body, swiftly catching up with the Silver City fleet like a fish swimming in the sea. Kamishiro Unra, perched atop the dragon's head, waved his arms: "Hey, your opponents are here! Don't run, come and fight!"
The next moment, Shindai Yunluo and Bai Rongyi rushed into the fleet. His remaining shikigami materialized one by one, leaping onto the tops of the airships and carrying interceptor barrages to destroy them.
Unfortunately, the original Shindai Unra is still only an A-rank, and his other shikigami have extremely limited destructive power.
For example, the Horse-faced Rakshasa barely managed to cut open the engine room of an airship before being blasted into a streak of white light by a drone and flying back to its natal divine bridge.
Without Hyakume-ki, Kamishiro Unra was utterly incapable of stopping this fleet.
Actually, he has a way.
Just as Zero said, let's see if he has the determination to gouge out the eyes of Shinjiro Sora and the others, so that Hyakume-ki can break through in the face of battle and become the final, complete form.
At that time, Hyakume-ki was like a true demigod, or even a step stronger.
But Shindai Unra couldn't bear it. This was also because he knew he couldn't be a qualified commander. He wasn't suited to be a commander, and he couldn't be ruthless.
A qualified commander needs to be decisive in killing and to make choices.
At this moment, Shindai Yunluo himself was also injured by the aftershocks of the drone's self-destruction, but he showed no intention of retreating.
Dorayaki on Nanluo Street.
An izakaya (Japanese pub) in Hanamori-cho.
Rice wine on Chang'an Avenue.
And the loquat tree and the old lady in that little courtyard.
Kamishiro Yunluo felt as if her entire life had been fleetingly passing before her eyes in the brief moments of a breath.
But what he ultimately saw was not all of that; rather, it was the little girl who had followed him around like a shadow since childhood.
—Hey, stop following me! You always make such a commotion. I got caught stealing loquats!
—What business is it of yours if I drink with other women? Why did you chase them away?
—Do you know that our family is cursed by the Genji, and no one is destined to escape it? So don't develop any feelings for me. When the time comes, no matter who dies, everyone will be very sad!
—Wait, don't cry!
As Kamishiro Yunra thought about all this, she suddenly smiled.
But as he laughed, the laughter faded... He looked up in astonishment at the sky, where a thick, dark cloud obscured the moon.
It was a dark cloud that shouldn't have appeared here, just like the northern homeland that Kamishiro Unra shouldn't have lingered in in her life and memories.
Inside the Silver City flagship, the Silver Duke couldn't help but sneer at the scene: "Overestimating themselves... Wait, what's that overhead? When did it appear?"
"It just appeared!" the combat personnel inside the airship roared. "Damn it, it's an aerial fortress! How could there be an aerial fortress here?!"
The Scepter is in the southwest, the Green Mountain is in City 10, and the Shindai Sky Fortress has been controlled by the Storm Duke. Why would a Sky Fortress appear here at this time?
etc.
This is the Chen family's aerial fortress!
This is the voice of the gods!
Before the Silver Duke could figure out what was going on, the black aerial fortress, which resembled dark clouds in the sky, suddenly unleashed its main firepower, the electromagnetic cannon.
With a deafening roar, the cannon fire pierced through the Silver City flagship and the Silver Duke together.
Air fortresses have always been a key factor in aerial warfare, capable of turning the tide of battle.
Like a demigod in the world of superhumans, irreplaceable.
Chapter 948, The Heavenly Decree, The Divine Decree
Fireworks continued to bloom in the night sky.
Kamishiro Unra was so immersed in the moment that she even forgot about the battle.
However, those who were not involved in the battle were not affected at all.
All dangers and wars brushed past him; death hovered around him, yet could never get close.
Kamishiro Yunra murmured, "I've even gone through the flashback before my death, and you're telling me I don't have to die... that's fine too."
Right there in the aerial battlefield, he laughed heartily and waved towards the aerial fortress.
He knew who was truly in control of the situation in the fortress, so he wasn't flustered at all.
The moment an aerial fortress that should never have existed appears in the sky... it already determines how this battle will end.
Shindai Yunluo looked at the Gods, which stood in the clouds, its 36 main-fire electromagnetic cannons sliding rapidly on the track, its self-propelled aiming system locking onto every airship in Silver City.
Lock on, briefly charge up, launch.
shoot down.
The entire process is smooth, simple, and efficient.
The main firepower of the air fortress, the electromagnetic railgun, has a speed of 16,400 kilometers per hour, and its attack speed completely overwhelms that of the airship.
As Shindai Yunluo watched the airships crashing around him, the electromagnetic cannons whistling sharply around him, the Silver Duke had only been in office for a week before he fell.
What bad luck...
Shindai Yunluo chuckled and patted the Azure Dragon's horns: "Looks like having a boss has its advantages."
At this moment, Chen Yu was sitting in the command seat, with an attendant standing beside him.
He calmly told his comrades, "Send out airships to the ground to search for the bodies in the flagship. Clean them all out, not a single one can be missing."
"Roger that!" someone hurriedly ran out and shouted into the communication system, "First Squadron, assemble on deck immediately and begin search operations!"
The commander aboard the Gods looked at Chen Yu: "Boss, why are we suddenly getting involved in this war?"
