Rhode Island Park Project

Everyone's face showed expressions of shock, astonishment, disbelief, etc.

The huge metal warship, illuminated by the only ray of sunlight like a spotlight between heaven and earth, slowly disappeared in front of everyone's eyes.

The warship was like a giant ice cream, melting and disappearing wherever the sun shone on it.

By the time everyone reacted, a huge hole had been hollowed out at the bridge position of the huge flagship.

The battleship that lost its bridge was like a headless human body. It just followed its original inertia and walked stiffly. After a short voyage, it began to deviate from its original direction and crashed into the escort battleship next to it.

The shrill alarm broke through the sky, and the silent world seemed to suddenly regain its sound.

"Enemy attack!! Enemy attack!!!"

"Flagship yaws!! All troops urgently evade!!!"

In the sky.

Wells, who was still a little dazed, heard the reminder on the communication.

"Please proceed to the second coordinate point and lock onto the next target."

"Uh, got it."

Wells started flying again and caught a glimpse of the Second Armored Corps in the distance.

The melodious melody reached his ears.

——Little star.

Wells couldn't help but shudder and muttered to himself.

Never let my children listen to this song again.

Chapter 6: Victorians, Your King is Here! (k)

A second ray of light pierced through the clouds.

People who had already witnessed what this meant once did not feel any joy at seeing the light of day again after the clouds had darkened.

The second battleship landed in the sunlight, like a supreme drama, with the characters standing on the stage, about to usher in the well-known ending under the attention of the public.

"—"

Glowing particles drifted in the sunlight, and a hideous hole was hollowed out on the head of the huge steel monster, which then began to stagger.

The entire steel fleet, stretching across the mountains, was plunged into clamor and chaos. Warships maneuvered to avoid each other, inquiries about the situation, responses to the enemy, fear of the unknown and death... all of this drowned out the roar of the fleet's movement.

"It's amazing..."

Exclamations were heard across the Armored Knight's communication channel.

The atmosphere in the sky was much quieter than the noisy ground. The three teams were divided into three directions. They only needed to take turns locking onto the battleships distributed in different positions of the fleet, and then wait for the sun to set.

Giant steel ships that could accommodate tens of thousands of people and could capture an entire medium or large city on their own were dying one after another before their eyes.

The formidable and huge fleet was now in chaos, and even some escort ships that were unable to avoid the enemy were rammed by the out-of-control battleships.

The invincible fleet, which had originally attracted the attention of the entire world and had made everyone wonder how long it would take to defeat Rhodes Island and Shi Huaiya, now seemed so weak and helpless.

The only problem is...

"I will never again dare to let children listen to Twinkle Twinkle Little Star."

"I even let my niece go before..."

"This is truly destructive. After this war is over, I doubt anyone in the world will be able to recommend this song to children anymore..."

People kept complaining in the communication channel.

then,

"Everyone pay attention! The enemy is coming!"

Wells' voice dominated the communication.

After the initial chaos, some aircraft finally took off from the huge fleet. The anti-aircraft guns did not have enough range, and some warships even pointed their guns directly into the air and roared.

……

Within the fleet.

The general was killed, and the lower-level generals automatically took over the command and were shouting at the communicator:

"Let everything that can fly go up! No matter how much impact it has on those guys, you must not stop! Once all the people are dead, fire the cannons, and when the shells run out, use the crossbows!!"

"Inform all troops!! Full speed ahead! Target the enemy's frontline city, Rhodes Island! We have no way out! Running away won't get rid of the enemy in the sky. Our only option is to advance!!!"

"Give up evasion! No matter what happens! Lock the steering!!"

The new command is undoubtedly effective.

Although a heavy price was paid, the chaotic fleet finally regrouped, and with flames and roars, it once again headed towards a target with a clear goal.

Warships were constantly being picked up by the sunlight that penetrated the clouds, and then their direction became shaky, and they were ruthlessly left behind by the charging troops, but the new general just stared at the map with red eyes.

The Rhodes Island ship is less than a hundred kilometers away from the front line.

The fleet charged at full speed and arrived in less than two hours.

If the range of the naval guns is taken into account, this time can be shortened even further.

Rhodes Island's purpose in moving from the rear to the front lines now seemed clear enough.

——Even though he didn't understand the opponent's weapons, he understood... any weapon has a range.

Reaching the enemy before the entire army is wiped out is their only chance of survival and victory!

……

In the sky.

"Looks like they're targeting me!"

An armored knight, carrying a large music box in his hand, flew rapidly through the sky, with whistling shells passing by behind him one after another.

"Keep maneuvering! If you get hit by a shell at such a distance, go back and retake your maneuvering class!"

"But I still have to lock onto the target! I also have to maintain the locked position and not waver! There's no such thing as drifting through a bend without spilling the water cup in the maneuvering class!!"

"boom--!!"

The armored knight turned his sight to the other side.

A heavy armored aircraft was emerging from the smoke and flames of the exploding shells, and it was holding a huge power hammer and actively facing the shells flying towards the teammate carrying the music box.

"Boom boom boom——"

"That's... Captain Mudstone of Team Two."

"Uh, Captain, how about you too?"

The pressure came to the team captain.

"Shut up!"

Wells roared.

That's a modified machine specialized in defense, how can he be the same?!

But no matter how different they are, as the captain of a team, it is impossible for him to really fall behind others.

"Intercept the enemy's air forces!"

With his lance raised, a pale blue light curtain appeared beside the Wells captain's plane. The entire plane quickly rose upwards, then turned around and fell from the sky like a diving hawk.

A blue figure streaked across the cloudy sky, passing through a series of artillery shells along a smooth trajectory.

The long-lasting flames only spread out after the azure figure passed through, following the blue tail light, and further behind it were bursts of roars like muffled thunder.

"Wow! So handsome, you're worthy of being the captain!"

"Boom boom boom——"

A stream of particle glows lit up in the distant sky.

"It looks like Team Three has also finished it!"

"Then take care of all these guys rushing towards us, don't be the one who slacks off!"

"understand!"

The Kaster army, which came into the sky in flying vehicles, engaged in close combat with the armored knights. Almost instantly, several aircraft flying in the sky burst into flames.

The armored knight holding a lance crashed head-on into the aircraft, followed by shouts and roars that were difficult to distinguish in the strong wind at high altitude.

The sky and the earth were filled with smoke and flames of war.

The aircraft, which was emitting flames and black smoke, fell from the sky, flipping over like a piece of paper. The magician who could fly could not even get out of the cabin. He crashed to the ground with the falling aircraft and turned into a ball of gorgeous fireworks.

Other magicians who came to the sky were faced with armored knights holding lances, high-frequency vibration swords, giant alloy shields, particle cannon-type staffs, and various weapons and equipment.

The true murderous and bloody atmosphere of war gradually permeated the entire battlefield.

Even when faced with the invincible armored knights, the aircraft and magicians that soared into the sky were as fragile as moths to a flame, but the soldiers who rushed into the sky never stopped.

There was no need for words. All the soldiers did was to prove through their actions that they were the true elite of Victoria, a world power.

The soldiers rushing to the sky almost dyed the cloudy sky red, while the fleet on the ground charged at full speed in the setting sun.

All the efforts made by the army did slow down the speed of the setting sun, but if this trend continues, in less than an hour, or even half an hour, the bridges of the entire fleet of 36 large and small warships will be wiped out.

The bridge of a warship usually includes a command room, a driving room, an open-air command post, a steering room, a combat intelligence center, telecommunications, confidential information, a radio room, a navigation room, various intelligence rooms, the captain's room and a series of other important facilities of the ship. It is well-deserved as the brain and central nervous system of the warship.

A battleship without a bridge can no longer sail.

As it should be.

However, when another ray of sunlight fell on an escort ship, the bridge melted, and then the warship burst into flames, but it always maintained its original straight direction and rushed across the land with the fleet.

If you can't see, then rely on hearing. If you can't hear either, then stretch out your hands. If you lose your senses and even lose control of your body, then tie yourself to the chains that have been set!

Even if you lose all the functions brought by the brain, as long as the body can still move, there is no reason to stop!

The explosion of the bridge will cause the entire ship's system to go out of control, so we will proactively isolate all functions of the bridge!

Power was entirely dependent on the most primitive manual labor in the engine room, weapons were loaded manually, communications relied on the communicator in hand, and then—

Steering locked!

After a series of emergency modifications, the entire fleet tied itself to the established track, and then took the lead over the enemy - cutting off its own head.

Not hearing, not seeing, not feeling, just rushing forward in the darkness!!

Not only that, the ships that had fallen behind were also staggering to recalibrate their directions after manual navigation and restart.

"...Command, what do we need to do now?"

In the sky, Wells asked over the comms.

"The battleship's powerhouse requires close-range scanning to confirm its location..."

"receive."

Wells turned his head without waiting for the communicator to finish speaking.

"West! Zhao! Join me in rappelling and confirming the location of the enemy ship's powerhouse! Everyone else, continue locking onto the audio track!"

The captain's roar filled the communication again, followed by an equally thunderous response:

"Yes!!"

The enemy's fighting spirit is indeed amazing, but -

"Let the Victorians see the armored troops from Rhode Island!!!"

Wells's roar, along with a meteor falling from the sky, swept across the battleship's steel deck, causing rising waves and explosions.

No detours, no probing, right in front of them—

Just face to face!

Unlike the prominently located bridge, the power room of a battleship is usually located under thick armor protection, and its exact location is highly confidential.

This difference is determined by function. After all, the bridge needs to take into account both battlefield vision and good communication signals, so it has to be built above the deck, but the power room obviously does not have these requirements.

Needless to say, targeting the bridge as the first target was the most cost-effective option. For a normal army, losing the bridge would have been enough to throw the entire ship into chaos and destroy their fighting spirit.
