Suddenly, a dazzling light streaked across the night sky and interrupted the party in the square. Everyone who had been immersed in their excitement instantly quieted down and looked at the colorful fireworks in the distance. A certain golden-haired girl who was carrying a huge dinner plate and sweeping all the barbecue racks and dessert tables in the square like a whirlwind showed an unprecedented sense of clarity.
Little Bubble had wandered up to my side and was licking the lollipop in her hand as she curiously pointed at the bright white halo in the sky. She was muttering something to herself. Shallow Shallow might have drunk some alcohol in secret because she also walked over dizzily and bumped into me. She rubbed her face against my chest like a kitten and said in a muffled voice, "Ah Jun, what's that?"
I chuckled. "It's nothing, we're having a fireworks party!"
Lin Xue backhanded me with a karate chop. "Fireworks my ass! We've encountered an enemy! "
Nonsense, of course I knew. Which lunatic would use a 3000mm ship-borne psionic cannon to set off fireworks in the middle of the night!
I carried Little Bubble, who was still excitedly watching the fireworks, in one hand, and Shallow, who was drunk to the point of floating in the air, in the other. I quickly ran towards where Sandora and the others were gathered. Lin Xue followed closely behind me. At the same time, an ear-piercing air defense alarm sounded from the top of the Bubble Tower, instantly spreading throughout the entire floating fortress. Since we had already been exposed, there was no need for us to keep a low profile. Once the lights-out and camouflage forcefields were removed, the entire "Isle of God" was instantly illuminated as though it was daytime. The gigantic floating fortress that was enveloped in golden light appeared above the Endless Sea like a giant inverted pyramid made of gold. "Rumble!" A low rumbling sound came from the core of the Isle of God and spread throughout the entire floating fortress. The scenery around us also underwent a miraculous change. The gigantic conventional building slowly sank, disappearing beneath the heavy upper layer of armor. On the plaza and further away, huge intersecting cracks appeared on the seamless alloy ground. The several meters thick metal ground split apart amidst the rumbling sound, revealing the gigantic cannons and all sorts of launchers behind them. At the four peaks of the "Isle of God", the original four gigantic God statues that were brimming with Holy Light suddenly fell to the outside of the island. Then, they were reassembled by the nano organization into a part of the floating fortress. At the original location of the God statues, four platforms that were several hundred square meters in size slowly rose up, revealing the crystal array below — Model IX Disperser Cannons.
In the short span of a few minutes, the originally sacred paradise had become an imperial fortress armed to the teeth. Nearly a thousand large cannons and even more small cannons weaved into a deadly net that was ready to be launched. I had no doubt that even a fly flying over our heads would be hit by at least three cannon shots, be it energy or physical.
At the same time that the Sky Fortress was transforming, the bubble tower behind us also underwent a huge transformation. The gigantic tower that was several hundred meters tall trembled, rotated, and slowly shrunk. In just a few minutes, it turned into a conical tower that was only a hundred meters tall. The surface of the tower, which was originally smooth and clean, suddenly split into countless vertical and parallel cracks. Faint blue light pulsed rhythmically in these cracks that were not even a few centimeters wide, as though they were alive. The buzzing sound of energy flowed continuously, reminding the surrounding people of the tremendous amount of energy contained within this beautiful tower.
"This thing is so majestic!" Looking at the Bubble Tower that had transformed into a frontline command tower, I couldn't help but exclaim loudly in admiration.
Lin Xue, who was standing beside me, didn't make a sound. She only lowered her head and searched for any suitable tools by her side.
Hey, hey, hey! You can't possibly be intending to tear down this tower that can transform, right? Or are you intending to tear down the aerial fortress beneath our feet as well?
What was changing wasn't just the "Island of Gods" beneath our feet. Something even more majestic was yet to come.
As the camouflage field that enveloped the entire fleet deactivated, the gigantic Imperial Army gradually appeared in the sky. Countless battleships of various sizes gathered into a formation that could maximize their firepower advantage. These battleships constantly adjusted their relative positions in the sky, ensuring that every battleship would have at least one main cannon at any given angle. With such a terrifying coordination ability of such a large army, it was likely that apart from the Shiring Apostles, who could be directly mobilized by the signal network like robots, no other army would be able to accomplish such a feat. In between these gigantic battleships that floated in the sky like gigantic ghosts in the night sky, there were even more smaller units that swiftly shuttled back and forth like restless wasps. They weren't just small fighter airships or logistical airships, but more of them were aerial combat Shiring Apostles that were impossible to defend against. These incredibly agile special forces were all equipped with micro-space warping systems. Although they weren't as strong or armored as the burly marines, they were much more difficult to deal with due to their omnidirectional attacks and wretched sniping tactics that would make one's teeth itch.
In the few minutes that the aerial fortress had been transforming, the main cannons of the few large frigates hadn't stopped firing. The ship-mounted energy weapons were incredibly fast, and as the two sides got closer, more and more enemies entered the escort formation's firing range. Blue-white laser beams and black-red psionic energy beams crisscrossed as they pierced into the distant night sky like a spear thrown by a god. Beautiful flowers of death constantly bloomed beyond our field of vision. Every time the cannons fired, the representatives of the various races in the plaza would involuntarily let out a cry of surprise.
These natives of Azeroth were already deeply shocked by the unbelievable battle scene in front of them. Although they didn't understand what kind of weapons the various cannons that suddenly appeared around them were, this didn't affect their respect for the 'God's Armament'. Regardless of whether it was the huge island beneath their feet that had transformed into an aerial fortress, or the dense cannons that were more powerful than Forbidden Spells, these natives who were used to close combat with cold weapons were extremely shocked. Every time the cannons sounded, they would let out a cry of surprise to vent the excitement in their hearts.
At this moment, whether it was the Alliance or the Horde, whether it was the Undead or the Nagas, the envoys of every race were excited and moved. After seeing the power of the 'God's Armament', and thinking about how they were now members of such a powerful army, this fact made the blood of the people of Azeroth, who revered power, boil.
Oh, that's right, excluding a certain purple-haired saltwater creature not far in front of me who was shouting about how beautiful the fireworks on the ground were — was it more appropriate to use the word 'bar' to describe it?
But up until now, I still didn't know what kind of enemy my troops were fighting against. It couldn't be helped, the long-range attacks of the Empire's army were too strong. Under most circumstances, the enemies fighting against the Xi Ling apostles would only be a bunch of small dots on the radar. I reckoned that under the bombardment of the entire fleet's main cannons, it would be very difficult to see the true identity of the enemy.
Fortunately, a certain Schilling Queen, who was still frantically eating barbecued meat and cheese even under the sudden bombardment of enemy cannons, finally filled her stomach temporarily. Burping, she staggered to my side, giving me a chance to shake off my confused state.
"What's going on, Sandora?" I reached out to wipe off the oil stain on the corner of Sandora's mouth. I pinched her cheeks that would definitely smile foolishly after eating and asked, "Who are we fighting against? Are there enemies in the sky above the Endless Sea? "
Sandora sucked hard on her oily fingers as she said in a muffled voice, "There are a lot of miscellaneous troops. I got Bubble to scan them, it's really a hodgepodge."
As Sandora said that, she pointed at the distant horizon that was still exploding with dazzling flashes of light. "Giant Frost Dragons, Gargoyles, Bone Griffins, Giant Ghost Owls, and all kinds of flying demons, biochemical monsters and demons, and then …"
At this point, Sandora suddenly revealed a mischievous smile. Giggling, she asked, "Guess what else?"
I was stunned. "There's more!? Isn't that a lot of things troublesome enough? "
"Haha! Let me tell you something even more troublesome. Behind those miscellaneous fish, there's a limited edition Eternal-class strategic fortress ship … "
I looked at the cheerful Sandora in front of me and was instantly in a daze. Then, I smacked the girl's head in front of me. She immediately squatted on the ground like an injured little animal, hugging her head as she looked up at me with a pair of big, watery eyes.
Acting cute? You can't even act cute! Why are you so cheerful at this time! Eternal-class, that thing isn't Schilling …
At this moment, Lin Xue seemed to suddenly remember something. She slapped her head and said loudly, "Ah, I remember now! The Fallen Apostle seems to have already fixed their teleportation device! This should be the first batch of troops they sent out! "
… You're doing this on purpose, aren't you? You should have told me such important information earlier!
