Chapter 503: Chapter 445 Destruction Day_2

"’White Emperor!’"

"Charge!"

"Break these Synthetic Humans!" Particularly upon seeing the ghastly white battle chariot appear, the morale of the airport garrison soldiers was completely ignited—this was the powerful army of corporatism!

"Fight back!"

"Hit them hard!"

"There’s one less of them every time they die!"

Too many, too many tanks rolled out from the airport’s semi-underground garage. As these ace armored troops joined the battle, the garrison’s spirit was instantly bolstered, and they fiercely fired at the Elite Soldiers who had infiltrated too deeply.

"Where are the enemies!"

"Where are the enemies!" The Elite Soldiers, not fearing death, still crazily surged into the airport. One squad pushed forward, completely disregarding the crossfire threat from multiple main battle tanks. In an instant, a dozen Elite Soldiers were pulverized by artillery and heavy machine-gun fire!

For a moment, the rashly advancing Elite Soldiers were as fragile as primitives, utterly powerless before the defender’s heavy tanks, suffering grievous losses!

Only then did the Synthetic Humans snap out of their recklessness, they adjusted their combat strategies, quickly tightened their formation, consolidated their existing lines, and looked for cover to evade the tanks.

"Clear the runway, let the attack planes take off!" ordered the airport commander at breakneck speed.

Just one ground attack aircraft in the air would cause all enemies to perish under the harsh aerial firepower, turning into metallic debris!

"Yes!" Security personnel ran through flames, gunpowder smoke, and wreckage, braving the heat wave to cover the pilots as they boarded the costly ground attack aircraft.

At that moment, sharp shrieks and whistles resounded from the sky—

"What, what is that?"

"Wait! From above!"

"Something’s coming down—" The soldiers pointed up, surprised by this unexpected turn of events.

And then they barely made it out...

A dark shadow swooped down from the sky!

Boom!

As metal shattered with a bang, a white "Nekomata" was hacked to explosion right in front of the defenders with a violent and loud burst!

The earth-shattering blow instantly demolished the entire ace vehicle, sending shockwaves that were felt far and wide, the sounds of munitions detonating echoing to the heavens, reaching miles in every direction! The crew was reduced to ashes.

This sight shook the soldiers’ morale enormously, astonishing them even more!

"I, I hit it!" yelled 102 as she was sent flying by the shockwave.

She flipped her body in the air using the jet system on her Witch Armor, soared up, triggered the enchanted runes on her Gunlance, and fired rapidly at the swiftly maneuvering main battle tanks surrounding her!

Triple magic power bombardments!

No armor was strong enough to withstand such a scale of magical bombardment. "Nekomata" main battle tanks were ripped and devoured within the maelstrom of magic power, their structures quickly warping until breaking under the strain, dissolving into nothingness along with the crew members caught in the magic vortex.

"Aargh—"

"Battle Witch!"

"Damn it..." The defenders’ most desperate moment had arrived!

"Tanks, take my Short Spear!" 102 kept pushing forward, absorbing fire with her robust body, while swinging her Short Spear to cut down the closer armored vehicles and bombing the distant planes, single-handedly turning the entire airport upside down!

"Stay away from the Battle Witch!"

"Reload!"

"Failed to hit the target—"

"We can’t hit her!"

"Second team, seventh team all perished! No... The whole squadron is out of ammo!" Cries of panic came through the armored communication channels.

rampaged everywhere, bombarding and colliding! After repeated enhancements, the Short Spear in her hand lived up to its name, its firepower strong enough to shake an entire army!

The ground trembled!

fiercely ripped open tanks like cans, allowing the Elite Soldiers to continue their assault. Fragments of hand grenades and incendiary devices flew towards the remaining defending forces at the airport, plunging them into a hard-fought battle with the flames and the relentless explosions.

Units with weaker morale began surrendering en masse, disarming themselves proactively, while those remaining were executed by the expressionless Synthetic Humans.

"Where is the enemy!"

"Where is the enemy!" The Elite Soldiers, high in spirit and never tiring, wiped out squads of the enemy with a single magazine. They fought so fiercely that the crippled enemy dared not show their heads. Their marksmanship was extraordinary, with built-in locks. A mere gesture often sufficed to strike down an enemy soldier. Once they entered the airport, they immediately foiled all attempts by the combat aircraft to take off.

A brave corporate soldier fought until the very last moment. Wounded, he hid by the door of a burning barracks, observing for a long time before swiftly striking out.

Bang!

He shot an Elite Soldier in the chest.

But it only turned around, shot back quickly and blew his head off!

"Synthetic machine, kid," the Elite Soldier said.

Only after the defending forces were all either killed or had surrendered did 101 finally jump into the airport.

"I’ve taken out so many tanks!" 102 struggled to swing her Short Spear, having taken down at least 22 "Nekomata" by herself! Such losses were enough to make any tank commander spit blood.

The remaining tanks stopped moving, and their crews abandoned them and surrendered. They didn’t have a strong will to fight; professional corporate armies were just clocking in at their positions and didn’t want to lose their lives there.

"Tonight is long," 101 said as she grabbed 102 and leaped with her into the fight in the next area, continuing to support where the battle was fiercest. They had to destroy as many enemies as possible before dawn to pave the way for the next phase of Nestor Corporation’s advance!

The same scenario then unfolded at various other New Xisheng military strongholds located in the Suburbs of Shangjing, all attacked simultaneously. Alarms and explosions abruptly awoke the people in the night.

War raged fiercely!

As soon as Lila returned within the signal range of her jurisdiction, she received countless inquiries and interview requests. She chose to hold a press conference to address everyone’s confusion.

"Twenty minutes ago," Lila faced the camera, "my company declared corporate war on the New Xisheng Group. There is no need to worry, as this matter is entirely an internal corporate affair and will not affect the following four categories of people: (1) employees not of the New Xisheng Group and its affiliates; (2) citizens of Anjiu City; (3) residents of neutral corporate jurisdictions; (4) enlightened individuals willing to stop resisting and join the ranks of Nestor Corporation."

Questions came quickly.

"Nestor Corporation is too stupid to do this!"

"Where do you get the confidence to defeat the New Xisheng Group!"

"You’re shameless for dragging Anjiu City, which claims eternal peace, into the flames of war!"

"Nestor Corporation turns out to be a bunch of war mongers!"

The violent assaults certainly triggered panic among the people, and at the same time, Yuan Chaozong of the New Xisheng Group provided the concerned media with a brief notice.

"Nestor Corporation has launched a despicable and shameless surprise attack," he appealed solemnly, "Justice and friendship stand with the New Xisheng Group. Peace-loving residents of the Northern Archipelago, I sincerely hope that you will take up arms and join the camp to resist Nestor Corporation! Fight for the peace and beauty of our homeland!"

News and rumors spread like wildfire, fermenting public opinion. The public relations team of New Xisheng Group worked overtime through the night, composing articles to suppress Nestor Corporation’s momentum and disparage all its measures.

But words and emotions are vague. Lila knew this well. What determines the direction of war is manpower, funds, logistics, tactics, soldiers, and frontline commanders.

Corporations are fragile. They hope that their employees are docile and submissive under harsh training yet expect them to be resisting and staunch in the face of corporate crises. This is nothing short of absurd.

Lila, who had experienced many wars in her life, was well aware of this.

War is long, but it is also orderly. Lila closed her eyes, and the entire battlefield model was meticulously constructed in her magic power perception, not missing a single detail.

Her master, Xu Yang, was maintaining the information systems and constructing the Helis Sea, guarding network communications to ensure that Lila’s commands could reach each battlefield in a coordinated manner.

Noise, insults, and defamation kept coming at Lila, but she knew it would soon be over, as long as she crushed the New Xisheng Group. Victory on the battlefield could turn around all public opinion.

If Nestor Corporation were defeated, they would naturally be trampled under a thousand feet and never recover.

But if Nestor Corporation were victorious, gaining a series of advantages early in the war, and then swiftly resolving the conflict perfectly, the direction of public sentiment would abruptly shift. Loud praises would resound, extolling their efficient offensive, precise tactics, and genius command. Their philosophy would be praised as advanced, their system superior, their organization perfect.

At that time, there would be no need for Nestor Corporation to exert effort themselves – media from all sides would quickly praise and create momentum for them, covering up all their flaws and designing countless reasons for the war. Meanwhile, Xisheng would be mocked and criticized viciously, and no amount of reasoning could salvage their image.

Because people always follow the strong!
