Chapter 388: Ignition
Afternoon.
On the surface, inside the cockpit, Luo Yan saw the mechas of the Changping Army Group coming out of the launch cabin one by one.
Then these mechas walked towards facilities resembling rocket launch pads, which had just been set up. Some of the fixed frames of the launch platforms were still undergoing final adjustments.
On each fixed frame of the launch platform, there was a peculiarly shaped device resembling a shuttle, with a jetpack at the back.
As the mechas passed by, the robotic arm on the fixed frame, controlled by the computer, would attach this device to the mecha.
For easy installation, each mecha has a detachable device at the back that can automatically come apart.
Equipment like this is attached to Bian’s back at the moment.
However, Luo Yan didn’t go to the launchpad like other mechas because his Bian is a reserve army.
Now, the Changping Army Group is going to start the first phase of battle.
As Chief of General Staff Jiang Wuyang mentioned in the morning, the first phase of battle will involve sending a total of 130 mechas, including those from Changping City, Pingyao, and Yanshi, into the sky in batches.
This is to prepare them to land on the Overlord Giant Beast, which is currently hundreds of kilometers away and two thousand meters high in the sky.
Most mechas can’t fly, even those like Bian with jetpacks, can’t reach two thousand meters high.
So, specialized devices like shuttle-like mechanisms are needed to send mechas high up.
Only the ‘Empty Wing Type 3’ aircraft can lift heavy mechas to such heights.
These aircraft are obviously not something the Changping underground city could have, yes, they are important supplies from the ‘Giant Beast Strategy Manor’ supporting the Changping underground city.
Only two days ago did they all arrive at the underground city, and upon discovering the existence of the Kun Fish and its advanced route, the Changping Army Group had already developed this battle plan and installed the launch pad in advance.
As reinforcements, and before this, the mecha corps, like Qingyang, were also greatly injured.
The Guangling Legion did not need to participate in the ‘landing assault’ operation, as Luo Yan was piloting the Divine Guard standard-level mecha, equipped with a jetpack.
Therefore, after his own agreement, ‘Bian’ as a backup mecha, also temporarily installed a connecting device.
“Little Luo, even though your ‘Bian’ is now a backup, we are reinforcements. Even if the Changping Army Group needs you to go out, it’s okay if you don’t want to temporarily,” said Yan Wenbo’s voice on the communication channel.
Yan Wenbo’s voice came through the communication channel.
Then Kang Shun added, “Yes, the first stage of the battle is very dangerous, the mecha has to fly up high and launch towards the giant beast.”
“Although the flight is controlled by the ground computer, no pilot is needed to operate it.”
“But when approaching the Overlord Giant Beast, they will definitely be attacked.”
Bai Chou’s voice was soft and worried as she said, “Captain Jiang mentioned this morning that there are over 60 giant beasts nesting on the Kun Fish, along with a large number of Anchor Head Fleas.”
“When we land, these things will surely fight fiercely to protect the Kun Fish.”
Luo Yan murmured, “I won’t try to be brave.”
After hearing this, there was no more sound coming through the communicator.
Looking out from the panoramic window, Luo Yan saw that most of the mechas had been installed, with the ‘Empty Wing Type 3’ aircraft securely fixed behind the main body, ready to launch into the sky at any moment.
The first phase was the beach landing.
Once they successfully boarded the Overlord Giant Beast, it would be the second phase.
The strategic goal of the second phase was to destroy at least half of the anti-gravity organs on the Overlord Giant Beast!
According to the analysis by the ‘Giant Beast Strategy Manor’ biological research group, if more than half of the anti-gravity organs of the Kun Fish are destroyed, it won’t be able to float in mid-air. Even if the remaining organs are still functioning, its own mass is too great to maintain altitude relying on only half of the organs.
By destroying half of the anti-gravity organs, causing this oversized Overlord Giant Beast to fall to the ground, the goal of the second stage will be achieved.
At this moment, Jiang Wuyang’s voice came over the communication channel public network.
“This is the Changping Corps Headquarters, I am Chief of General Staff Jiang Wuyang, now informing all participants of the first stage landing battle.”
“The first stage battle will begin in 10 minutes, please quickly complete the assembly of your flight devices.”
“Currently confirmed, Kun Fish’s super anti-membrane has been deployed, with an astonishing range, almost equivalent to the size of a provincial capital.”
“Within the Anti-Membrane’s range, it is known that there exists a zero-gravity field, so even giant beasts without flying abilities can move around Kun Fish.”
“Of course, they may be moving autonomously or passively, temporarily unknown.”
“What can be confirmed is that entering the air restricted area will face fierce attacks.”
“So please follow the plan and act accordingly.”
“Also, Kun Fish has more anti-gravity organs gathered at its tail, middle section, and front section, with fewer organs underneath its body.”
“At that time, the computer will give you the correct guidance.”
“Just destroy half of the anti-gravity organs, and you can succeed and retreat safely.”
“Here, I wish you all the best of luck and success!”
Ten minutes passed quickly.
An attack command sounded on the communication channel.
“1 to 10, ignite!”
“11 to 20, ignite!”
……
As the attack orders were given, aircraft behind the mechas on the launch platforms fired up their engines, lifting the heavy bodies into the sky.
In the cockpit, Luo Yan looked up, watching the magnificent scene, his emotions unsettled for a long time.
Hundreds of mechas took off one after another, jetpacks shooting out dazzling flames, carrying people’s hopes and tracing parabolic arcs towards the distance.
Uncertain if it was due to the approaching Sky Lord, the clear sky quickly turned dim and unclear.
Thick clouds gathered, yet there was not a hint of wind on the ground.
A sense of impending storm filled the air.
Because they had gone beyond sight, including Luo Yan, the Mecha Masters remaining on the ground could not see the group of mechas taking off.
Luo Yan clicked on the command console, opening a window displaying images captured by drones in the sky.
Now, above the sea of clouds.
Mechas broke through the waves of clouds, heading towards the target location. In front of them, above the sea of clouds, a huge mass of mist swirled.
Within that mass of mist, there were flashes of lightning and thunder.
Every time the lightning flashed, you could faintly see the outline of a giant fish.
The fish looked like a whale, within the mist, occasionally revealing golden giant pupils.
Occasionally flapping its two fins, it stirred up strong winds and churned the clouds.
Through the screen, Luo Yan also saw that on the back of the giant fish, there were three dorsal fins waving like banners. Every time they trembled, numerous purple lightning bolts would gush out from the thick clouds.
It was packed together like dragons dancing wildly!
