Unconsciously, I returned to the original starting point.
The Dila people will eventually ride the waves towards the tower.
After waiting for so long, Ayane finally waited for this moment - the order she gave to the Oirat fleet was very simple. Once the "Tower of Babel" was launched or the news of Laplace's capture came from the coalition allies, they would rush to the coast at full speed.
If Laplace is captured, the significance of the Dila army's capture of the coastline is to cut off the possibility of Roger MacArthur seizing power and resisting; and if the operation to capture Laplace fails, the Tower of Babel is launched, and this will be the last chance for the Dila people to land on the coastline.
The logic behind this is very simple. The Thebite-Kingdom coalition force and the Dela fleet are both direct threats to the Federation, and there must be gaps between the launches of the "Tower of Babel", making it impossible for them to fire continuously.
This gap, from any perspective, is the only opportunity.
As long as there is a huge angle between the Dila army and the coalition forces, it will be impossible for the Tower of Babel to wipe them out in one go.
On this basis, as long as someone can reach Lavis and the foot of the Tower of Babel, there will be a chance to control the tower and destroy the enemy's most powerful weapon.
For monsters like [Tower of Babel], only such proactive attacks can achieve the desired effect.
And now, it is time for the people of Dila to truly face the trend of history.
"Grissom, the plan to guide the [God-strike Cannon] to activate the [Ice Storm] is left to you." Ayane said softly.
"Got it, I won't let you down."
The Dila fleet quickly crossed the sea. Hundreds of warships were sailing on the gloomy sea, and the bows covered with the light blue factor's glory broke through the waves.
The sea breeze was getting stronger and stronger, and it would only take tens of minutes for the fleet to reach the east coast.
At this moment, a series of explosions sounded in the sky——
"boom--"
Three huge skyships suddenly attacked, and strong winds stirred up the clouds and the sea.
At the same time, the Federation's warships appeared on the radar. Although the Federation's navy was not taken seriously, they possessed the same factor energy technology and were even more powerful than the Dila fleet.
"Roger McLaurer, even if Laplace has pushed you into a desperate situation, you are unwilling to embrace your enemy?"
Ayane murmured softly, drew out the sword from her waist, and pointed it forward:
"Fire." Her voice was flat but powerful.
"boom--"
"boom--"
"boom--"
The scarlet divine strike shells went beyond the limit of vision and hit the horizon. Bursts of red light were thrown from the sea to the sky. At the same time, the number of targets on the radar decreased.
The Federation's airships simultaneously launched a fierce bombardment, firing one factor energy cannon after another at the Dila fleet, causing huge waves to splash on the sea.
The counterattack of the Butila fleet was equally powerful. Red light shot from the sea to the sky, and the power gathered by the strong factor energy tore apart the factor shield of the airship.
Half an hour after the battle began, the first airship completely lost the support of its engine and crashed into the sea, dragging thick black smoke and causing huge waves.
The Dila fleet broke through the waves, and the artillery fire on the deck rained down on the Federal warships with unstoppable force.
The [God-Strike Cannon] has great advantages. This technology, which originates from a previous civilization, is difficult to replicate even for today's Federation people, which naturally creates a gap on the battlefield.
Although there are some generation differences between factor-energy warships, pure destruction does not care about generation differences.
Even an airship cannot withstand the continuous bombardment of the [God-strike Cannon], let alone ordinary factor-energy warships.
"boom--"
"boom--"
Red lights flashed continuously on the "Sakurakiyama", like a string of stars on the gray sea, continuously sending the anger of the Ogi people towards the federal army.
Furious thunder roared above the ocean. As the battle line advanced, another federal airship was hit in the engine by dozens of [God-strike Cannons] at the same time while retreating, and exploded into fireworks in the air.
[Cang Huang] has been hiding in the dark for so many years in order to create a navy that can compete with the Federation in a head-on confrontation.
Outside of the Tower of Babel, the people of Dila are not afraid of any means of the Federation.
It was like this fifteen years ago, and it will be like this fifteen years later.
As the battle line was torn apart, the Federation's only remaining skyship began to retreat. Its factor shield had been destroyed, and red light exploded on its surface one after another.
The federal navy was almost completely destroyed, but only about 70 percent of the Dila warships remained, which could not be considered a serious loss.
Inside the bridge of the "Blue Reef", Grissom looked solemnly at the battle situation in the distance, making rapid calculations in his mind.
Mei was staring at the dashboard, seemingly muttering something.
Soon, she said to Gleason:
"The capital city of Vizel has entered the maximum range of the [God Strike Cannon]!"
"Get ready to fire. The Tower of Babel may fire at any time. This is our only chance."
Grissom grasped the rudder with both hands, and his eyes suddenly turned dark. The rudder empowered by the [Dark Emblem] transmitted the power to the sea area below the entire ship, and the sea water was stained with a layer of black.
If the Tower of Babel was launched, Grissom planned to take everyone on the Blue Reef down with him to give them a chance to reach the coast.
......
4) Rain (Part 14)
On the deck, the [God-Strike Cannon] was raised high, and red light gathered.
Seizing the opportunity when the artillery fire was intensive, Grissom gave a stern order:
"fire!"
Amid the dense artillery fire of the Dila fleet, three or four red beams penetrated into the clouds and flew high in the sky.
Inside the bridge, Mei was nervously monitoring the parameters of the clouds, and the information coming from Donglin Island was rapidly jumping on the screen.
"It's still 73.62% away from the factor thunder threshold," Mei said nervously, "We must continue shooting."
"We can't move too fast, or the people at Weiser's side will definitely notice something is wrong," Grissom said, looking at the sea full of bullets. "We can't move too slow, or before the Ice Storm is triggered, Babel will definitely..."
Triggering Ice Storm to try to block the launch of Babel is a risky move, but it is also one of many alternatives.
At the pre-war meeting, Ayane provided all the captains with a large number of alternative plans, including using concentrated factor minefields to help [Ice Storm] escape from containment, more than a dozen of them large and small.
But behind these alternatives lies the main strategy: a dispersed attack.
Seeing that the skyships above the sky could no longer gain an air advantage, Miss Ayane's orders sounded simultaneously on the bridges of the ships:
"This is the Sakurakisan. All formations, listen to the order. Formation One continues to charge, Formation Two forms a spreading formation, and Formation Three begins to disperse to the west and east, looking for multiple landing points."
This is the strategy of the Dila people: decentralized multi-point attack. After concentrating on defeating the frontal attack of the Federal Navy and Air Force, they will immediately disperse their formation and send at least part of their forces to the Federal coast.
When this order is issued, the Odira Army on the Akihara will immediately begin to advance and try to enter Lavis from the eastern side of the Iron Curtain.
The launch of [Tower of Babel] is intermittent and extremely destructive, so it is unlikely to strafing its own infrastructure.
Among the three formations, the one with the highest chance of survival is the third formation, which will land in an area far from the main attack direction. If a large-scale attack is detected, the federals will most likely mobilize the coastal defense forces to the main force, which will give the third formation a great chance of winning.
The third formation is mostly composed of elite troops, such as Admiral Fujita Hideo's "Ice Ocean", including several of His Royal Highness the [Canghuang]'s samurai. They have a high survival rate after crossing the Iron Curtain, and also have strong destructive power, which can cooperate with subsequent attacks.
Next was the No. 2 formation where Grissom's "Blue Reef" was located. The main task of this formation was to concentrate firepower to attack the Federal Air Force and coastline. Due to the excellent range and accuracy of the [God Strike Cannon], this formation could be positioned at the back and not easily hit.
Their survival rate was also good when the Tower of Babel was launched - a single charged shot could not destroy all fleets dispersed within ten nautical miles, which gave the survivors a greater chance of landing.
Then, it was the first formation, including the "Sakurakisan" where Miss Ayane was.
In fact, the inclusion of "Sakurakisan" into the first formation was rejected many times in the pre-war meetings. If it weren't for Miss Ayane's insistence, I'm afraid that this most powerful dreadnought of the Ogi Navy would not have appeared in this formation.
Because this is a suicide squad.
The first formation is very dense compared to the last two formations, and has strong firepower. If the Tower of Babel is launched, it may be the first target to be destroyed.
As a commander, Ayane shouldn't have been in that position, but according to her, all the strategic plans have been explained, and the elders of Dila will also command from the rear, so she doesn't need to take charge of the overall situation.
In fact, Grissom has always had speculations about Miss Ayane's identity. For example, she has never appeared with [Cang Huang] in various meetings, and the rear commander she designated is the "elders" instead of "[Cang Huang]".
But Gleason never asked. He believed that others had guessed it, but were unwilling to ask.
Everything is changing in the tide of history.
"boom------"
The third skyship disintegrated under the continuous bombardment of the first formation and fell into the sea. The surging waves instantly swallowed up the wreckage of the steel giant.
"Boom——" "Boom——" "Boom——"
During this time, the Blue Reef fired several more "God Strike Cannons" in an attempt to interfere with the clouds over Vizel.
"52.4%..."
"32.6%..."
"12.3%..."
As Mei quickly read out the parameters, Grissom's eyes grew darker.
As soon as Mei said "2.5%", Gleason immediately gave the order:
"Second formation, execute the containment breach plan and fire the [God-strike Cannon] at the clouds above Vizel!"
In an instant, dozens of red light cannons fired into the sky, penetrated into the clouds, and flew quickly towards Vizel.
Grissom and Mei closed their eyes and prayed.
Time passed by minute by minute, the federal navy continued to retreat, and the rows of [God-strike Cannons] on the "Yingqishan" were frantically tearing the battle line apart, and the war would soon have an outcome.
Whatever the outcome, Grissom had convinced himself that he was lucky enough compared to those who drowned unknowingly in the waves.
At least, the person he loved most was holding his hand now.
"..."
Suddenly, the entire sea fell into endless silence; even the sound of the waves seemed to be silenced.
Grissom opened his eyes suddenly, just in time to see a red light appearing on the horizon—
"Babel Tower strike detected! Babel Tower strike detected!"
The red light first illuminated the entire coastline, and then spread toward the sky. It was a wave higher than any other wave on the ocean.
It was the second sun looming over the horizon.
"..."
When Gleason saw the red light, his heart sank.
Did it fail? Why? Was it because Laplace figured it out? Or was it simply that the plan itself was not feasible?
Grissom turned his head and saw a line of tears on Mei's face, her crystal clear violet eyes reflecting the red light.
"Mei..." he murmured softly.
"Let's carry out the plan. It's time for us to go." Mei tried hard to hold back her tears.
The Blue Reef will use the netherworld to avoid the shooting of the Tower of Babel and reach the east coast.
There are also elite troops of the Dila people on this battleship. After landing, Grissom will become their commander.
Next comes the real decisive battle.
Sister... look at me... Grissom raised his head and looked at the sky, his eyes becoming darker.
Amid the waves of the sea, the Dila fleet faced the second sun, and not a single ship slowed down.
Fifteen years ago, a fleet of three-masted sailing ships also rushed towards the rising sun in the west.
Fifteen years later, the ship has changed, but the people have not.
The cluster of warships dispersed while relentlessly bombarding the coastline with [God-strike Cannons], as if to vent all the humiliation of the past fifteen years.
Looking at such a magnificent scene, Grissom took a deep breath and gripped the rudder tightly:
"Blue Reef, dive."
......
4) Rain (Part 15)
The moment the second sun rose over the horizon, there was not a trace of expression on Ayane's pretty face.
She fearlessly opened her cherry-colored eyes, inherited from the Akihara family, and stared at the red light stubbornly.
