Chapter 930: Assault Begins

In the 76th sea area outpost.

"Tester, why are you in such a hurry to have me come over in my machine?" As soon as the Cleanser entered the outpost facility, she loudly said to the Tester.

The Tester said nothing, just pointed at the big screen, and the Cleanser then looked at the screen. Only to see around the signal flashing light, a cluster of red dots had appeared at some point, and moreover a red dot was rushing toward this place at great speed.

The Cleanser staggered, "Surrounded?! Wait, I just got here—how could I be surrounded so quickly?!"

The Tester chuckled, "Their target is not you, but me. According to Laplace's Demon's calculations, and based on the information we currently control, this outpost is one they must seize to occupy the Bering Strait."

That's why I came to this outpost early to prepare for this first battle. But you also know I'm not a combat-type person; even though there are a few Executors here, we still need someone truly suited for combat.

The Purifiers are too familiar with them; I worry we might end up chatting while fighting, so you're the most suitable. Moreover, by rights, this sea area is also under your management.

"Now I see why you've been so mysterious, never telling me the reason." The Cleanser breathed a sigh of relief and said, "But the first battle has started so quickly—wasn't it supposed to wait until at least mid-year according to the Dream Weaver's words? Has the prophecy gone wrong?"

"The prophecy isn't wrong; full-scale war will begin in mid-year, and the current battle is merely the overture to the great war." The Tester said, watching the red dot on the radar drawing ever closer.

"Well, then are we to take the initiative and attack?" the Cleanser asked.

"Wait, wait until they breach the outpost—then the battle will officially begin." the Tester said.

"Heh heh, interesting. But what is their combat power this time?" the Cleanser asked.

"The vanguard fleet is about ten ships, while the main force fleet is around fifty to sixty ships." the Tester said.

"How are we supposed to fight… does that mean we're doomed this time?" the Cleanser rolled her eyes. A single squadron of warships is normally enough to sweep several outposts, but this time fifty to sixty elite warships would have to clear just the two of us—that's practically a joke.

"Our experiment's purpose isn't to defeat them, is it?" the Tester glanced at the Cleanser.

"Tsk, even though I know that, I just feel weird about it." the Cleanser looked speechless.

"Alright, get ready; the battle will start soon." the Tester said.

"Yes."

Just as shown on the radar map, Wuzang and the others advancing through the sea area have already spotted the outpost's location.

"Everyone, form a single column and charge in at top speed." Wuzang called out.

"Yes!"

The formation of the advancing troops suddenly changed, lining up in a straight line and charging straight toward the outpost ahead.

At that moment, a large batch of Siren fleets also appeared near the outpost, beginning to continuously fire upon those executing the single column formation.

"Xinong, Da Feng, launch your carrier aircraft to quickly wipe out the fleets on both flanks and buy us time." Wuzang said.

"Understood." Xinong showed no hesitation; she waved her right hand, and a squadron of carrier aircraft took off from her deck like arrows, swooping toward the distant Siren fleet.

At the same time, Da Feng also launched a squadron of carrier aircraft toward another direction.

With the two carrier shipgirls directing their carrier aircraft strikes, the assault team's artillery threat was greatly reduced, and they soon reached a point about ten kilometers from the outpost.

At this moment, several Siren fleets had lined up at the outpost's gate, all opening fire on the group.

"Switch to a ring formation, hold your defensive positions, and concentrate fire—we shouldn't fight them in the open sea, that's too passive; charge straight into the outpost, that's when we can bring our strength to bear." Wuzang said.

"Yes!"

Such a formation had apparently been drilled countless times; the shipgirls merely needed to adjust their steps slightly, and they swiftly shifted from a single column to a ring formation.

In an instant, rapid gunfire erupted, countless shells and barrages exploded within the Siren fleet ahead, quickly carving out a road of blood and fire.

The troops' steps never paused—or rather, nothing now could make them pause.

Everything Qin Ge had previously taught about tactics and strategy was for this moment: concentrate superior firepower and swiftly annihilate the enemy.

After breaking through the blocking enemy fleet, the troops finally rushed into the outpost. This outpost was much larger than the previous Siren outposts; upon entering its waters, they saw a Executor blocking the way ahead.

"Everyone, quickly use your skills and strike her down with your strongest power!" Wuzang said, as the violet katana floating beside her flashed out. Violet lightning began to dance along the blade, and immediately a huge violet phantom appeared behind her, wielding a long sword; as the katana swung, it gathered immense power and slashed at the Executor not far ahead.

At the same time, Cai Die, Dao Guang, and Feng Yi also unfolded, sending a torrent of bullets and shells flooding toward the Executor ahead.

In just a moment, the attack had engulfed the Executor before them, and the assault team's firepower was fully displayed—truly terrifying.

But everyone knew this Executor wasn't the only one in this sea area; not far away, another Executor still existed.

However, that point was still some distance away, and after using their abilities, they couldn't reuse them shortly; so they immediately steadied their stance and cleared an area where they could sustain fire.

"Lord Wuzang, when will Akagi's air corps arrive?" Ji Yin asked Wuzang while fighting.

"I had Tiancheng, upon receiving the Yin19 message, order the air corps to take off; they should already be en route and should arrive shortly." Wuzang said.

"Understood." Ji Yin said.

"Reporting to Lord Zhang Men and Lord Wuzang, I have located the Cleanser's position; the Tester's exact whereabouts are still unknown, but she should still be inside the outpost." Dao Feng said to the two.

"Understood, Xinong, Da Feng—while defending, keep watch over the entire sea area; don't let the Tester and Cleanser escape." Wuzang said.

"Yes!"

"Hehe, let's begin—the heroes' hymn!" Ai Tang laughed, firing her cannon while drawing the long sword at her waist, and charged straight at the elite task ahead.
