Chapter 327: 133. Samurai Blade

The Ersha sky was suddenly cleaved by two arcing lines, as twin forward-swept wing ’Sky Hawk’ fighter jets slowly shed their optical camouflage. The pilots quickly located their predetermined attack targets on the radar, and with just a thought, they turned and flew toward that area like birds.

Their flight was stable, and under the cover of the natural disaster, no one could detect this attack.

"It seems like this is a Civilian residential area, Ita Well." The wingman suddenly noticed that on the ground, aside from the hemispherical greenhouses, there were also many schools and dormitory areas.

"What does it matter? They’re not our Civilians anyway."

"That’s true."

The wingman shrugged and as casually as having breakfast, flicked a switch.

The next moment, the hidden bomb bay doors on the underside opened, and multiple 1200-kilogram earth-penetrating bombs dropped straight down toward the residential area of Sunny Garden.

The Greening Base had not detected their attack. In an elementary school in the residential area, an elderly Biochemist was earnestly teaching the students to recognize images projected on the screen:

"This is a rose plant from the Rosaceae family; the first one is called a rose, which can be confused with Cystus in some places. The main difference is in the leaves. This is an ornamental plant, and ancient people regarded it as a symbol of romantic love..."

Swoosh——————

a piercing roar cut across the school’s sky, and many mischievous students looked up, ran to the windows, and gazed into the sky.

Boom!

Four school buildings were directly penetrated by high-speed drills; teachers and students in the midst of class were instantly ground to a pulp, and the crazed dust spread out in the artificial sunlight with a cold hue.

"What is that? Why would anyone attack us?"

"Enemy attack! It’s the fighter jets of the Four Nations!"

"Quick, sound the alarm——"

The drills ferociously tore and dug through the earth. These earth-penetrating bombs were simple and crude in principle, resembling shield machines crashing into their warheads, allowing the launchers to remotely monitor and detonate near life targets, or by using a delayed fuse to detonate after confirming the digging depth.

For safety’s sake, the two Sky Hawk pilots opted for manual detonation, watching indifferently as the life signals plunged from hundreds in an instant to none. After digging down tens of meters, the life signals soared to hundreds again.

"This is the spot! Detonate!"

Boom boom boom boom!

Four earth-penetrating missiles detonated instantaneously, exploding 280 meters underground in the Greening Base residential area. The uranium-filled explosives were triggered by the precision mechanism, releasing horrific heat and shockwaves in a brief moment.

Bursts of raging heatwave burned through the rock layer, hurling dirt and rubble into the sky. The terrifying explosive shockwave turned buildings into rubble. The bewildered Outer World people attached to the Greening Base fled in panic, with one person clutching their head, dodging debris and flying rebar, when suddenly it seemed as if someone kicked them in the back, flipping them over. When they looked back, it was just a severed leg.

The distant natural disaster storm raged like a mad dragon, while nearby, fireballs bellowed with man-made tragedy.

At least in causing pain, they were comparable.

The Sky Hawk pilots circled aloofly overhead, and soon received an angry signal:

"Four Nations, we have done nothing, why are you bombing us?"

"Shut up, we are in the process of slaughtering you, please do not disturb us."

The arrogant pilots dismissed them casually, not feeling the slightest bit overbearing, even feeling self-deprecating for having used polite language.

The wingman didn’t criticize the flight leader’s words, for it was a given. Over the past ten years, they had launched hundreds of military operations against the Outer World.

"Those four bombs were worth six million Sky Ring Currency, maybe you should reflect on why we’re willing to use such expensive bombs to bomb you."

The Greening Base spokesperson laughed bitterly, bellowing fiercely, "People of Sky Ring, you have killed our people and yet demand that we reflect?"

"The weak have no right to judge the actions of the strong. Blame yourselves for not being one of the Four Nations."

"People of Sky Ring, you should be grateful I am a Materialist, or else I would drag your terrene nations into Purgatory! You would all be tormented by the fires of Karma for eternity!"

"You don’t qualify. We have our great Ring King His Majesty, who protects all of us Samurais. After death, we’ll only enter the Supreme Heaven!"

Having said this, the flight leader cut off the communication and turned to report to the command center, "Bombing complete, enemy’s escape routes have been cut off."

"However," the wingman said, "The Greening Base is not quite satisfied with us."

"What’s the matter?" Kariya Asaichi asked curiously.

"They claim they want to drag us into Hell."

"Then obliterate them along with everything else," Kariya Asaichi said dispassionately. "A bunch of tree planters, they gave themselves too much credit. Who allowed them to watch us—turn the civilian homes on the ground into rubble for me; that way, Li Aozi and the others will have no cover when they come out."

All the people of Sky Ring unanimously agreed with the decision. The artillery troops immediately took their positions, and the smart cannons automatically set themselves up. The 152mm caliber high-explosive shells were promptly loaded into the cannon’s chamber by mechanical arms.

"Fire!"

Upon the commander’s order, the sky immediately wove into a scarlet barrage. The 16-linked rocket launchers played like pipe organs as they unleashed their ferocity, carpeting the Greening Base with firepower; in just a moment, it was engulfed in intense flames.

Electronic warfare planes took off, scattering various black foils that jammed the artificial sun’s hemispheric emitters. The military hackers then took action, effortlessly breaching the defenses.

The fake sun was turned off, and the raging wind and snow instantly surged into the Greening Base.

Countless people fled from the bombardment, but the smoke from the gunfire blinded them, causing them to charge towards the fully armed Sky Ring troops instead. Confronted with these unarmed civilians, the people of Sky Ring remained highly vigilant. Spotting a few farmers and workers with robust physiques resembling soldiers, they immediately shouted:

"Shoot them all!"

The samurai hoisted their rifles with one hand, and 6.8mm bullets tore through the bodies of the civilians with powerful kinetic energy. At first, the rifle fire wasn’t very bloody; people were silently falling one after another without spurting large amounts of blood.

But then, the armored transportation vehicles trained their 13.8mm heavy machine guns on them, firing in three-round bursts.

Each heavy machine gun bullet, on impact, would shred bones and muscles alike, instantly ripping apart brains and necks. The snow-blown earth was swiftly painted a deep red.

The Greening Base, irate, immediately launched a military counterattack: Hundreds of military biochemical war beasts sprinted out from the underground base, rushing in a surprise charge toward the Sky Ring Warriors. Some insect-like creatures took to the skies, engaging in fierce dogfights with the air force; the battlefield was cast with various poisonous gases, and numerous metal armors suffered erosion.

Numerous biochemists, seething with anger, stood up. They retaliated against the people of Sky Ring with various biochemical weapons and even stepped forward of their own accord, engaging in close-quarters combat with the Sky Ring warriors using their Implant Gear, which... only slightly stemmed the advance of the people of Sky Ring.

To the Outer World, these horrifyingly shaped, swiftly moving biochemical beasts were simply an invincible nightmare—but sadly, the Four Nations were the gods of the Outer World.

"First rank! Draw swords!"

After a round of shooting, dozens of Sky Ring warriors slung their rifles behind their backs and drew out standard-issue katanas from their waists.

Countless biochemical war beasts swarmed over them like an incoming tide, with creatures in the distance spitting acid and plasma at them.

The people of Sky Ring coldly formed up into tactical formations, ignoring any attacks as each wielded a long sword raised over their shoulder.

"Prepare for Qi Infusion!"

The Qi Power Amplification system linked their sinews and weapons together, further enhancing the efficiency of their weapons. The fierce Qi energy, after balancing adjustments, reached a stable output, fixing a layer of white shimmer at a fixed frequency on the blade’s edge.

Hum... Hum...

The samurai’s uniform and large-scale Qi Infusion resonated in this moment. Paired with scientifically precision formations, they maximized their firepower potential, forming a fan-shaped shockwave.

Roar!

The frenzied biochemical war beasts grew ever closer, but the samurai showed no fear. Beneath their masks, their eyes held a fighting spirit fiercer than the beasts and a calm colder than machinery.

They drew nearer, the blood vessels on their bodies and the cold light on their claws becoming clearly visible.

But not a single samurai flinched. They coldly watched the vast sea of raging beasts approach, eyes fixed straight ahead.

Only when they stepped into the optimal attack range did the commander let out a low roar:

"First Vacuum Slash—Slash!"

Whoosh-------------------------

Every blade fell with precision, whipping up strong slicing winds. The air was instantly torn apart, and in a brief moment, a sector with a 600-meter radius and an arc of 145 degrees in front of them was cleaved into a vacuum zone.

Crack, crack, crack, crack, crack!

In an instant, countless biochemical war beasts were drained of their fluids by the vacuum, spraying white vapor all over and collapsing as dry corpses. Even those who were lucky enough to survive were swept up into the air by the massive inrush of air into the vacuum, revealing the fragility of carbon-based life in the face of the tremendous pressure difference.

"Change stance—Vermilion Bird!"

Snap!

Having completed the Vacuum Slash, the Sky Ring warriors sheathed their swords again, pushing the scabbards onto their backs. The intelligent scabbards inside slowly sprayed a layer of flammable powder coating. The warriors, keeping their coexistence pose, watched ahead. The three-eyed tactical goggles on their heads swiftly analyzed various data, signaling them to adjust their stances.

When the second wave of beasts once again entered the attack zone, the commander gave the order again. They drew their swords once more, slashing upwards in sweeping crescent waves of flame.

Boom fall!

The resonance of Qi energy turned the waves of flames into a literal ’ocean,’ constantly churning and gathering. Most crucially, they gave the flames ’mass,’ and the high-speed slashes turned that weight into tremendous kinetic energy, time and again tearing and incinerating the biochemical war beasts that crashed into the flames.
