Under the night sky, amid countless drizzles of thin rain, in the mountains outside Xinquan, launch platforms rose one after another from hidden corners, shaking off mud and stones.
In an instant, they completed the lock-on.
Then, as if stars, the hot lights soared into the sky—over the past half month, the short-range missiles produced day and night by the underground workshops had nearly overflowed the stock; there was no need for frugality now, even a few rounds of spending couldn't exhaust it.
To counter the Water Ghost attacks, Ji Jue had already received defensive permits from the Hai Province Lords' base weeks ago, not to mention these missiles launched towards the sea wouldn't head inland, avoiding any possible taboos.
Suddenly, steel stars with dazzling light and trails shot into the sky, raced across hundreds of kilometers in the blink of an eye, plunged into the dense fog, then burst with a roar.
Amidst the massive explosion of Fuel Element, scarlet Flame Light continuously burst forth from the sea's surface in the deep night, rising and falling.
Strands of scarlet interwove, projected into the fog, diffusely scattering, magnificent yet eerie.
It was as if the entire sea was set on fire, scorching gusts spreading vast amounts of water vapor, stimulating new fog once more.
In just a few moments, half the radar blips disappeared, then another half.
Quickly diminishing away.
In less than half a minute, barely any were left.
Yet Ji Jue's brows furrowed uncontrollably.
Something's wrong!
Entirely wrong!
This behavior of running into radar range like a sitting duck to die is unimaginable in today's era, moreover, even for this rural makeshift workshop where you can produce missiles with some time, in a chaotic environment like the Thousand Islands without any oversight, it's impossible to have no fighting chance.
Unless...
"A decoy."
Currently, the drones mixed among the missiles transmitted the forefront scene.
Broken and twisted steel wrecks rolled over the sea, rapidly sinking, visibly all rusty derelicts, some only had an outer shell of iron mixed with a lot of marine trash.
Even more, coarse Illusions.
Like running special effects with mining cards, frame drops, flickers, twists, and overlaps, the mass-produced pirate ship Illusions were indistinguishable, flashing wildly and rapidly dimming under the bombardment.
And right in the center, shrouded in thin fog, an ancient rail wind sail ship emerged!
Roaming gracefully among the wrecks, ignoring the missile bombardments, deceiving the missiles with false heat sources and reactions, untouched.
At the ship's bow, an old decrepit Chosen One, body covered in eerie barnacles and seaweed, with mottled white hair.
A silent sneer.
Seemingly sensed the drone's spy, casually, with a finger point, the drone instantly lost response.
A high-pitched horn sounded over the burning sea.
Wave after wave, spreading in all directions, blew the horn for the total assault.
Then, along the coastal areas outside Xinquan, muffled sounds suddenly erupted, waters splashing up like underwater traps being triggered.
They were mines spread in the shallow sea zones!
The entire Xinquan was enveloped in that gradually approaching roar, chaos spreading, everyone heard the boiling sound...from the relentless flowing Long River nearby.
Under the floodlights' overlook, the water surface rolled, waves undulating, and within the turbulent river, one giant shadow after another quickly emerged!
Racing from the deep sea!
Breaking through mine barriers, rushing along Long River's estuary, dashing upwards, nearly reaching Xinquan.
Until hysterical laughter rose from the parted waves.
An armor-clad warship emerged from the water, leaped sharply, smashed heavily into the boiling river, the ship cannon turned, fired towards Xinquan!
Boom!!!
In the massive roar, the town suddenly trembled, fierce blaze surged, then dissipated, the misfired shell grazed the edge of Xinquan, plunging into the mud outside the town.
No chance for a second shot.
The heavy exoskeleton on the sentry tower carrying the rocket launcher had already completed the lock-on, fired!
Immediately, under Isis's control, the firepower system had locked on, missiles descended from the sky, punched a big hole into the attacking pirate ship.
The attacker, paralyzed instantly.
Only managed to complete the predetermined task—a dazzling electric light like a tide, instantly surged out from the hull, diffusely scattering indiscriminately, covering the whole Xinquan.
The violently changing electromagnetic field and a multitude of scattered lead powder and aluminum foil spread with the rain.
Moreover, under the bright light, Xinquan quickly fell into darkness.
EMP!!!
Then, on the vast expansive Long River, one shadow after another followed in succession.
Like warships modified into submarines, crudely sinking the ships into the sea, relying on the power of Blessed Creation, after crossing the final distance, they emerged from point-blank!
Among them, abruptly a Great Group of scarlet Flame Light circulated, rose into the sky, instantly slashed speeding incoming missiles, firelight bursting.
Under the bright light, like a giant, Pacquiao stood at the forefront of his flagship's deck, overlooking the town rapidly plunged into darkness.
In his hand, the bizarre long spear lifted, pointed forward.
Issuing orders to all the hungry Water Ghosts:
"—Kill them all, burn everything!"
