Ling Cage: I come from Hisakawa

Chapter 241 The Night Lights Up the City!
"This is the Heluo East China Sea Defense Fleet. Your forces are intruding into our territory. Turn around immediately, or we will strike you!"

"Repeat it again!"

"This is the Heluo East China Sea Defense Fleet. Your forces are intruding into our territory. Turn around immediately!"

"Turn around immediately!"

The communications officer gripped the microphone and issued a stern warning.

The fleet commander stood behind him, his aged face expressionless, but his eyes flickered with an unfathomable meaning.

At this moment, all officers and soldiers of the fleet have entered combat readiness.

All shipborne launch silos were also put into standby mode, with multi-dimensional radars firmly locked onto the enemy still out of sight, ready to fire at the approaching Hella fleet at any time.

At the same time, the Hela Empire's radar also locked onto Heluo's fleet.

Both sides' ships sounded their alarms.

This time they're serious.

In the past, Hela rarely confronted Hela directly because the Hela Empire monopolized nuclear fusion technology.

When conflicts arise, they always try to minimize the damage and resolve the issue peacefully.

But this time, Heluo cannot back down.

If they retreated further, Hela's fleet would have crossed the border of Heluo.

Jiuchuan was originally a coastal city in Heluo, but it was later designated as the ASH Internet of Everything Experimental Zone.

Although Heluo granted Jiuchuan access and some shipping routes, allowing Jiuchuan to trade freely with the outside world, the city of Jiuchuan has always remained within Heluo's borders.

The Hela Empire wanted to attack Jiuchuan from the ocean without Heluo's consent, which would mean starting a war with Heluo.

This is a territorial dispute, and we will not yield an inch!
Given the current grim situation and the wavering attitudes of countries around the world, Heluo must make its stance clear: even if it means fighting a bloody battle with Hela at sea today, it is worth it.

For greater profits!
On the flagship of Heluo, the alarm that had been locked onto by radar continued to sound for a long time.

Everyone's hearts sank.

At this moment, the elderly fleet commander spoke up: "If they dare to fight, let them be completely annihilated, and not a single one shall escape."

"Do they really think they're the world's number one? Don't they know where they stand? They're showing off their power right here on our doorstep. Do they think we're paper tigers?"

The old commander's words were like a stabilizing force; as soon as he finished speaking, anger ignited in everyone's eyes.

That damn Hela!
Let's try going another nautical mile!

The atmosphere was incredibly tense. Just then, the radar operator said with a sigh of relief, "Commander, they've turned around."

"Which way did you turn?" the commander asked without changing his expression.

The radar operator replied, "It turned 180 degrees and went in the opposite direction."

The alarm has stopped.

"Commander, their radar has stopped. Should we stop it too?" another soldier asked.

The commander curled his lip: "They're the ones who ran into our guns, why should we stop? Lock them in, lock them in until they leave our radar range!"

"Yes, sir!" the soldier replied excitedly.

The commander looked emotional; "We've stopped them at sea, but we can't control what's happening in the air for the time being. I hope Bai Jingyu can hold on."

Hela completely ignored her this time.

Bai Jingyu was besieged at the interstellar dock, and Hela pretended to apologize.

How long has it been since?

They'll just bring their entire fleet over, no need for any pretense!

This is urgent.

As dusk fell, everyone saw a star, as bright as the moon, slowly moving across the horizon and gradually approaching Jiu Chuan. "Dear viewers!"

"Our reporter is risking his life to report this for you."

On the rooftop of a skyscraper in Jiuchuan, a reporter stood in front of a camera, shouting against the howling wind.

"What's now in the very center of the screen is Loki, the Hela Empire's space base!"

"According to information disclosed by the Hela Empire itself, in addition to the twelve spaceships docked on Loki, there is also a neutron plume emitter."

Loki—one of the most prized creations of the Hela Empire.

It is not only a mobile dock for the aerospace fleet, but also a strategic platform capable of launching large-scale strikes directly on the ground.

"Neutron plumes launched from space can reach the ground in a very short time, causing devastating damage to all life on the surface."

"This launcher, located on Loki, is connected to a large nuclear fusion reactor. It has an extremely high energy level. Once activated, the millions of residents in Hisakawa City could all be turned into innocent ghosts within seconds."

"And the Hela Empire has yet to provide a plausible reason for why they took military action against Hisakawa!"

The reporter loudly condemned the Hela Empire.

However, faced with powerful ships and cannons about to float overhead, no amount of condemnation would be of any use.

It didn't even reach the ears of the Hela Empire people.

At this time, Loki Star had not yet arrived directly above Jiuchuan, but it had already blocked the entire Jiuchuan network, turning Jiuchuan City into an isolated island, where no information could be transmitted out through network channels.

Bai Jingyu sat on the balcony of his house.

With the great battle imminent, he didn't stay in the city hall building or consult with anyone. Instead, he moved the sofa to the balcony, opened a bottle of Romaine Red, and looked up at the sky to count the stars.

Ash emerged from the shadows, cradling the sleeping skull in his arms.

“Mayor Bai, it’s about time. If we delay any longer, Loki will officially become part of Jiuchuan.” Ash’s eyes gleamed.

Hisakawa has a number of satellites in orbit.

Logically, the Hela Empire should have destroyed these satellites, but perhaps for deterrence purposes, they ignored them, seemingly deliberately letting Hisakawa see Loki.

Loki is a magnificent man-made structure.

Its size is incredible; it can accommodate twelve spaceships while providing ample living and entertainment space for each crew member, and it is equipped with a large nuclear fusion reactor and a neutron plume emitter.

From a satellite's perspective, this planet Loki is undoubtedly a behemoth, like a small town floating in the sky.

"Let's begin," Bai Jingyu said calmly.

ASH, holding the skull, sat down next to Bai Jingyu.

She lowered her head, her eyes reflecting a torrent of zeros and ones.

At a construction site in the suburbs of Jiuchuan, the ground shook violently, and a smooth crack appeared in the middle of the earth, from which bright light spilled out, revealing an empty but crowded helipad.

The helipad is 10x10 meters in size, and a full one hundred Swift drones are quietly parked in their respective positions.

Silently, their anti-gravity engines lit up.

rustling—rustling—rustling—

Propelled by azure light, hundreds of Swift drones rose from the ground and shot into the sky like darts.

With a tremendous roar, the helipad rotated to the side, and another helipad appeared at the launch window. Hundreds more Swift rockets took off and soared into the sky.

Next up is the next apron.

Bai Jingyu tilted his head back, his eyes reflecting the meteor shower shooting against the current.

The entire city was illuminated.
