An ear-piercing alarm suddenly resounded through the sky, followed closely by two dazzling white lights that cut through the sky.
The powerful Spatial Implosion Warhead drew a bright parabola in the air, and then it melted two huge holes in the defensive line formed by the assembled demons, signaling the start of this decisive battle.
"Kill!!!"
A majestic and shocking battle cry rang through the battlefield after a second of silence as the assembled demons rose into the air and pounced on the assault ships that broke through the heavy clouds and appeared on the battlefield. A pale white light gathered at the top of the Wave Energy Tower, and the low hum of energy connected into a low rumble that sounded like a suppressed raging wave. Then, countless arrows of light instantly dispelled the surrounding haze and shot towards the distant horizon. In response to this counterattack, the motherships outside the visual range launched an even more deadly mass bombardment. The sturdy steel towers were instantly distorted and melted by the high temperature, and the earth-shattering explosions dotted the Tirisfal Forest that was ignited by the flames of war.
Looking down from the sky, a dense group of black shadows was charging forward with an unstoppable momentum towards the Tirisfal Forest that was armed with various defensive structures into a thorny forest. The space between the two sides was filled with bright flashes formed by the explosions. With the initial point of contact between the two sides, the light spread out like flowing water, gradually expanding into a complex dot network that resembled a galaxy, clearly outlining the firepower distribution of the two armies. As the main forces of the two armies officially exchanged fire, the scattered light instantly boiled, as if two pieces of blazing black iron were violently colliding, bursting forth with an unprecedented brilliance.
"The battle has begun …"
The faint sound of explosions and flashes came from the distance. I looked back and then sighed.
"Rather than worrying about the safety of those powerful people, I think you should seriously reconsider this impulsive operation … My god, I actually came out together with an idiot like you to go crazy. If I don't die this time, I'm definitely going to find a psychiatrist."
Lin Xue had a venomous tongue as usual, but I chose to ignore it out of habit. Eh, why did I say 'out of habit'?
"According to Visca's information, our current location should be here." Sandora opened the holographic map and pointed at a small shining dot on it. "The Fallen Apostle's anti-jump gravitational traps are too dense. They are obviously worried that we will use the space troops to launch a surprise attack. Even the Asidora and Asidora sisters can only teleport us to this location … Lin Xue, can you see anything?"
"We'll be safe for at least ten minutes. There's too much interference here, and we won't be able to see clearly any further. I say, no matter what, isn't this too rash? It's fine if Blockhead Chen is an idiot, but you're a cunning and astute queen. Why are you going crazy as well? "
"In the past, I used surprise attacks as my trump card." Sandora kept the map and identified the scenery in the distance. "Besides, even though I kept nagging, didn't you still follow us?"
"I just don't want no one to send me home after all of you die … Ugh … There will be two Demon Assemblers passing by in nine minutes. Should I avoid them or kill them?"
"To avoid any accidents, it's better to avoid them." Elder sister chose the more cautious option, which received the approval of all of us.
We returned to the camouflaged "Strife" military transport ship and left the place silently according to the route that Visca had told us.
I, elder sister, Shallow Shallow, Sandora, Lin Xue, the five of us were the members of the plan that Lin Xue had called "The Most Brainless Idiot Crazy Retard in History to Sneak Into the Great Battle".
After removing some of the meaningless exclamations and modifiers from Miss Lin, our plan should be called: Hidden Dragon Spy …
I have to admit, this title wasn't any better.
Sneaking into the enemy's rear, going deep into the Undercity, detonating the World Circuit, setting up a blockbuster-like setting, and madness that wasn't much different from a psychopath … Lin Xue's description was rather apt.
I knew that this plan sounded rather crazy, but if this plan were to succeed, the huge results that it would bring would be fatally tempting. Strictly speaking, the success rate of this plan was actually quite high.
Visca had brought us valuable intelligence, including the commonly used secret codes among the Fallen Apostles, the deployment of all the troops in the entire Tirisfal region, the movement habits of the Fallen Apostles, and even a blueprint for the installation of the World Circuit and its auxiliary equipment. Even though there was a high possibility that this intelligence had undergone an emergency change after she had betrayed the Fallen Apostles, a large portion of it couldn't be modified in just three days. This had already increased the success rate of our operation to fifty percent. In addition to our abilities: Elder sister's anti-misfortune barrier could reduce the probability of any accidents happening to us to zero, Lin Xue's prophecy ability could allow us to 100 percent avoid any possible encounters and exposure that might occur in the next few minutes, Shallow Shallow's time control could even salvage the situation after the worst had happened, while Sandora and I were the trump cards that would ultimately destroy the World Circuit. With so many favorable conditions combined together, our somewhat whimsical plan had the possibility of being implemented.
Although I also knew that as the leader of the army, it was a little stupid to personally carry out this kind of plan … But how should I put it, in a large-scale battle, my talent … You all know, so I won't explain it.
Also, Miss Lin actually took the initiative to come with us, even though this tsundere wouldn't admit it at all …
Speaking of which, there was actually no need for Sandora to come with us at all. Compared to personally participating in this kind of surprise attack, Sandora's talent in military affairs was more suitable for commanding the intense battle that was happening at the frontlines. However, she only said one sentence that completely blocked all of my attempts to persuade her.
"If an accident really happens, I won't allow only Shallow Shallow to die with you … So, leave this place to Seves. I'll go with you."
Thus, I knew that I couldn't persuade her no matter what I said.
"Don't look as if it's the end of the world." Sandora seemed to have guessed what I was thinking. "The success rate of this operation is very high, and … If we don't do it this way, it will indeed be difficult for our fleet to break through the defensive line before the World Circuit activates, right?"
"I just remembered what you said before we left, and I was touched."
Sandora blushed slightly before smiling. "Alright then, continue being moved …"
Sandora's words weren't wrong. Even though we had the ability to defeat the Fallen Apostles, who were already having a hard time replenishing their military strength, it was impossible for us to break through the air defense network that had a depth of almost a thousand kilometers in just three days.
Success or failure depended on this one move. The Fallen Apostles had already gone mad. When they moved all the mobile and defensive equipment onto the table, the advancement of the Empire's fleet became very difficult.
"Patrolling soldiers." Lin Xue, who seemed to be resting with her eyes closed, suddenly opened her eyes. A silver radiance flashed past her pupils. "Don't avoid them. Use the fourth identification plan. There's still one more identification. I'm calculating it now, so there's still time."
A few minutes later, two patrolling 'Reaper' mechs turned around from behind the energy furnace. When they saw our military transport ship, they immediately stopped and pointed the weapons in their hands at us.
"Identify yourselves. You guys aren't in the planned transportation schedule."
A stiff, metallic voice sounded from the communicator. Sandora, who was in charge of operating the military transport ship, immediately handed over the identification code.
That was one of the materials that Visca had given us. Every unit in Schilling's army that had a serial number had this unique identification code. The ship that we were impersonating this time was a transport ship that was used to transport resources to the energy modules of the World Circuit.
"Identification passed. Please submit the second layer of identification code."
As expected, after Visca's betrayal, the Fallen Apostles had already updated the identification plan for all members of the army.
Just as I was hesitating whether or not to burn the two mechs that had already begun to raise their cannons to ashes and change the code name of the operation from Hidden Dragon Spy to Metal Slug, Lin Xue, whose forehead was slightly covered in sweat, finally opened her eyes.
"ES37-165835EFFCJ35- 08155."
"Identification confirmed as Number 155 Crystal Transport Ship. You guys are three minutes and twenty-seven seconds behind the scheduled transportation schedule. You are currently delayed by a total of five minutes and eighteen seconds. Hurry up, soldiers!"
This was why Lin Xue had told us not to avoid the two patrolling soldiers. Every single individual in Schilling's army was in a huge schedule. Under the circumstances where there were no unexpected factors that interfered, when a soldier would pass by and when two transportation ships would meet, everything had to be exactly the same. Of course, it was impossible for the truth to be a hundred percent in accordance with the plan. Accidents would always exist, but even if an unexpected change occurred, the schedule would still change within a thousandth of a second. It was precisely because of this that espionage activities were nearly extinct in Schilling's army. If it wasn't for Lin Xue telling us which encounter was the key point in the schedule, it wouldn't take more than a few minutes for our transport ship to be noticed by the Fallen Apostles' supercomputer.
"Phew …" When we finally left the other party's line of sight, I couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief. "This was really exciting."
Even though it wouldn't take me more than a second to deal with those two fierce-looking mechs, the chain reaction that could be triggered after alerting them made my palms sweat. No wonder it was said that the true test of courage in a war wasn't the charge at the frontlines, but the battle of spies in the enemy's rear. This statement made too much sense.
