As the dawn’s sunlight rose, swarms of fighter jets once again roared in, bombarding Su Mo and his group.
Kanris’s thinking was simple; although he was not launching a large-scale attack and was waiting for Putmi and his troops’ arrival, he did not plan to make things easy for the enemy.
Even if the air raids weren’t very effective, it didn’t matter.
Su Mo piloted the Slaughter Blade at high speed to avoid attacks; when he got tired of being shot at, he would turn his beam cannon around and blast one or two fighter aircraft out of the sky.
It was at that moment that Sun Li’s anxious voice came through the shared communication channel.
“Sister Xue.”
“What’s the matter?”
Qian Chengxue asked.
“The troops chasing us have caught up, drones have already detected them.”
“What does Commander Xiao Wen say?”
“Commander Xiao Wen is now directing us to set up a defensive line here and prepare for battle, but this is just a temporary solution, not a cure.”
Sun Li replied, unsettled.
“Follow Commander Xiao Wen’s orders, his commands are mine from now on.”
Qian Chengxue instructed.
“Understood!”
Sun Li responded immediately.
Su Mo interjected upon hearing this, “It seems our leisure time is about to end.
They shouldn’t have been able to move that fast; how did they suddenly speed up?”
“Not sure, probably something went wrong somewhere.”
Qian Chengxue replied indifferently.
Of course, they couldn’t know that the enemy had suddenly sped up because all the Wet God Guild players had been left behind, which had increased their speed.
At that moment, Xiao Wen’s voice rang through the communication channel.
“Su Mo, Qian Chengxue, both of you come back immediately, Chen Shan, you take charge of overseeing Wushi Fortress City.”
“Understood!”
Su Mo and the others responded in succession.
Moments later, Su Mo and Qian Chengxue departed from Wushi Fortress City in their mechas and returned to the temporary rear camp.
They saw a row of tanks arranged in formation, while various artillery firing devices were being set up in the rear.
And there were an excessive number of players dismantling the tarps from the transport vehicles and taking the weapons below, it seemed they were preparing for a last stand.
Su Mo and Qian Chengxue opened their cockpits and jumped down from their mechas.
They made their way into a nearby command vehicle.
They saw Xiao Wen with his hands behind his back, intently staring at a regional map spread out on the table, while Ma Qi stood next to him, though this time he was clothed.
“Commander Xiao Wen.”
Qian Chengxue called out.
“You two, come over here.”
Xiao Wen beckoned to Su Mo and Qian Chengxue.
They gathered around and Xiao Wen pointed to the rear area, saying, “The situation is very critical, so I’ll cut to the chase.
The troops with Putmi will reach the combat zone in no more than 5 hours and attack us.
Although I’ve unloaded the transport weapons and prepared to pour everything at them, we still can’t beat them even with that.
And more importantly, if we start a battle here, Kanris will definitely come out in full force.
I can’t look after both sides, so we must severely damage one side first.”
“What do you need us to do?”
Su Mo replied calmly.
“Ma Qi has already scouted, and the two most proud main battle firepower points of Kanris at the moment.
One is the fleet on the Skyline Canal, and the other is the artillery position on the shore, I want you to destroy them with nuclear bombs.”
“What’s the degree of their concentration?”
Qian Chengxue asked.
“For the specifics, let Ma Qi explain to you.”
“I risked a reconnaissance last night, and the fleet on the Skyline Canal is very dense.
Just one nuclear bomb would ensure they can’t escape unscathed.
But there’s a troublesome issue.
Although Kanris is arrogant, he is no fool.
Many of those ships are destroyers with very strong anti-air capabilities.
If you launch the nuclear bomb from a distance, there’s at least a ninety percent chance it will be intercepted.
Not to mention the artillery position on the opposite shore; it’s nearly impossible to hit.”
“Do you mean we can only launch from a short distance?”
Su Mo asked with some headache.
“Exactly.”
Ma Qi confirmed with certainty.
Upon hearing this, both Su Mo and Qian Chengxue were somewhat speechless.
As strong as third-generation mechas are, taking a nuclear bomb attack head-on seems to be tough.
However, it seemed like there was no other way.
“What about the artillery position on the opposite shore then?”
Qian Chengxue continued to inquire with a solemn tone.
“It’s too far away, and time is limited.
I can’t scout the situation.
However, from what I’ve observed of the fleet, Kanris seems to have OCD.
Those ships are arranged in a very orderly formation, so I’m ninety percent sure that the artillery positions are also clustered together.
After all, in his eyes, we are but a dying enemy, having completely lost air superiority.
He doesn’t have to worry about the safety of the artillery positions.”
Ma Qi provided a detailed analysis.
“Can I ask, what do our nuclear bombs look like and how big are they?”
Su Mo asked gravely.
“The nuclear bombs I’m transporting this time are the HCR-02 model tactical nuclear bombs.
To be honest, while they aren’t too big, they aren’t small either.
They’re about the size of a conventional missile.
I’ve installed them on a mecha-specific portable launcher, so you can carry and launch it directly, like a rocket launcher.
When the time comes, I’ll have Chen Shan and others cover you during the launch,”
Commander Xiao Wen told Su Mo and the others.
“Let’s think about it, how to deal with it.”
Su Mo’s expression grew increasingly grave.
This plan seemed simple, but the execution was actually quite difficult.
First of all, the enemy wouldn’t foolishly watch you walk up to their face and launch a nuclear bomb at them; they would definitely launch a ferocious attack.
In this regard, third-generation mechas might barely hold their own.
But surviving the explosion after the detonation wouldn’t be that easy.
“How about the two of us charge in, and after detonating at close range, you take cover behind me, sacrificing the Yuan Demon Mecha?”
Qian Chengxue pondered for a moment, then shared her thoughts with Su Mo.
“No,”
Su Mo rejected the suggestion.
“Other than using the Yuan Demon as a shield, there is no other way to withstand the blast impact.”
“Shield, wait, if we take a giant shield with us, that should do the trick.
Like the one the Dawn Guardian used to have, but a larger version.”
Su Mo suddenly realized that if they brought a giant shield capable of withstanding the blast, everything would be resolved.
Qian Chengxue turned to look at Xiao Wen.
“Does the Legion have one?”
“I’m sorry, due to the sudden incident, we don’t have that kind of professional impact giant shield that can withstand a nuclear bomb.
Not to mention the shield’s size needs to cover a third-generation mecha.
You must understand, under normal circumstances, we don’t have third-generation mechas,”
Commander Xiao Wen replied with regret.
After hearing this, both Su Mo and Qian Chengxue fell silent again.
Just then, an urgent air defense alarm sounded within the camp, followed by the noisy sound of missile launches.
Then came a huge explosion from the distant sky.
