Ling Cage: I come from Hisakawa

Chapter 242 Hisakawa Air Combat
"what is that?"

"It's Hisakawa Defense Force! Our troops!"

"Come on!"

We must win!

"Kill Hela!"

"."

At this moment, all one million citizens of Jiuchuan City have only one thought in their minds: victory.

Under the governance of ASH Internet of Everything, Jiuchuan's economy, public security, and culture are among the best in the world. While the world is in turmoil, the people of Jiuchuan seem to live in a secluded paradise.

The citizens may have various grievances against Jiuchuan, but after the overwhelming online discussions, most of them understand that once the Hela Empire takes over Jiuchuan, their good days may be over.

More importantly, Loki is equipped with a neutron plume emitter. What is Hela planning to do by moving this powerful weapon above Hisakawa's head?
Do you want to kill all the people of Hisakawa?

Thousands of Swift fighter jets formed a formation, and under ASH's control, they drew strange arcs, flew against the current, and soared straight into the sky!
Amidst the deafening roar, the air rubbed against the fighter jets' outer shells, creating flames. All the jets burst into flames, burning large holes in the clouds, turning the thick clouds into a honeycomb-like structure.

ASH sat on the sofa, holding the skull.

Its right hand gently stroked the back of the skull, and the blue light in its eyes flickered.

At this moment, the Swift aircraft swarm that had entered the atmosphere dispersed in all directions.

They resembled a flock of birds constructed of metal, with each fighter jet maintaining a dynamically changing distance from the surrounding aircraft, always forming a loose but not disorganized cluster.

The closer they get to space, the lighter the gravitational pull on the swifts becomes.

At the same time, the flames enveloping the swifts gradually disappeared, the optical camouflage was powered on, and the colors of all the fighter jets dimmed, almost blending into the background of the Earth behind them. They looked like a group of ghosts rushing into space, or like transparent waves crashing into space.

"The enemy planes have gone into stealth mode. Find them!"

"Warships, depart immediately! Release the drone swarm to prevent enemy aircraft from approaching Loki! Activate all anti-aircraft turrets and completely blockade areas A1, A2, and A3!"

"Wartime command system integration with SITA!"

"Release electromagnetic interference to disrupt ASH's control over the aircraft group. Human pilots, await orders inside the cockpit!"

On Loki, the command center was filled with a somber atmosphere.

As the world's leading military power, the Hela Empire completely disregarded Hisukawa in its strategy.

Anyone with a modicum of sense understands that Jiuchuan is just a tiny place, and Hela could turn it into an indisputable wasteland by launching a few strategic warheads from 10,000 kilometers away.

No Hella soldier believed they would lose.

However, tactically, frontline combat personnel were extremely wary of Hisakawa.

The Hela Empire is the nation most reliant on artificial intelligence within the Coastal Alliance, and they are acutely aware of just how devastating advanced AI can be on the battlefield.

Ironically, those who rely most on artificial intelligence do not possess the most advanced AI.

The most advanced artificial intelligence is in the hands of their adversaries.

Not long ago, SITA, the Hela Empire's most powerful artificial intelligence, was defeated in a battle against ASH, causing a temporary halt to the entire empire's artificial intelligence operations and resulting in losses in the trillions.

This is no secret to the military.

If Ash manages to hack into Loki's command system, the battle will be over immediately.

No matter how glorious the victory on the front lines, as long as a single Swift lands on Loki and establishes a data link with Loki, the great Loki will fall.

Whoosh— Thousands of turrets on Loki raised their muzzles, and cannonballs as thick as an adult man's wrist shot out in silent flames, tearing through the dark background of space and weaving into an impenetrable net of fire around the three core regions of Loki.

The space battleship emitted a ghostly blue light and quickly sailed out of the dock. The drone bays on both sides of the battleship opened, and countless gray drones swarmed out, shooting towards the direction where the swifts were attacking like a storm.

The radar, hundreds of meters tall, unfolded its metal wings, spun wildly, and emitted electromagnetic waves toward Earth in such a dense manner that it resembled a bombing.

Under saturation scanning, swifts appeared on Loki's radar screen.

"We've found them!"

Hella's drone swarm surged forward like a flood.

A bright red light appeared on the screen, a sign that the drone was damaged, like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, creating ripples.

"Let SITA take over the battlefield!"

At this moment, the number of Hella drones participating in the battle has reached one million.

Humans cannot precisely control so many drones simultaneously; only artificial intelligence can dominate this battlefield.

A blank male face appeared on the large screen.

SITA is now live.

In an instant, a barrage of instructions was issued from the supercomputing center.

The swarm of drones, which had been like a flood, suddenly came to life. The calm lake surface abruptly transformed into a stormy sea, with raging waves rising from the ground and crashing against the swallows that were skimming close to the surface.

Different colors exploded on the radar.

The swift was damaged.

"SITA command!"

"Imperial Glory and Final Angel, proceed to Hisakawa!"

Two magnificent aerospace warships sailed out of the formation.

Enveloped by countless drones, they rapidly descended and entered the atmosphere.

Thousands of Swifts circled around them, constantly firing high-energy lasers to destroy the surrounding drones and attempt to open a route to approach the warship.

The Swifts outperformed the Hela Empire's mass-produced drones, and they swept away the drone swarms protecting the space warships in layers.

The drone exploded in mid-air, creating bright sparks.
However, the sheer number of drones meant that the spaceship continued its rapid descent, an unstoppable force.

People on the ground could clearly see the explosions that filled the entire sky, like festive fireworks, but the explosions from drones were more intense and deadly.

The explosion pressed down inch by inch, scattering metal fragments everywhere. The hard wreckage of the drone crashed down, creating many large craters in the ground.

The piercing air raid sirens echoed over Hisakawa City.

"Sir, please go to the nearest shelter as soon as possible for safe refuge." The AI ​​police officer patrolled the streets tirelessly, guiding citizens to take refuge in the nearest shelter.

ASH lowered his head, and the blue light in his eyes had quietly gone out at some point.

Its consciousness has left this body and returned to the data hub buried deep underground.

"Whee!"

The skull in its arms woke up, looked at the explosion in the sky, and clapped its four little hands happily.

“Aren’t you afraid?” Bai Jingyu pulled the skull onto his lap.

The flashes from the intense explosions illuminated the outlines of the space battleships. The two behemoths drew ever closer to the ground, as if the sky were collapsing.
