348: Chapter 348 Space-Based Weapons
It laughed?
Hawke was startled. Just as he was about to say something, a low roar, as if from an ancient abyss, echoed over the ice field. The sound wasn't like a typical roar, but carried a certain joy of seeing the light of day again.
Ghidorah's two-hundred-meter-tall body slowly stood upright. Its three dragon heads began to lift one by one. In the next second, Ghidorah's three pairs of tightly closed vertical pupils snapped open, looking down at the tiny humans below.
Under the dark-gold scales, golden lightning surged frantically. Its huge, previously folded wings snapped open, and the resulting gale sent nearby soldiers flying. The sky became thick with dark clouds, and endless lightning seemed to echo its awakening.
It truly looked like the arrival of a king.
“Roar—!!”
This time, the deafening roar tore through the silence of Antarctica.
Everyone in the command room changed expression. Now was not the time to worry about why the sedative had failed in its body.
Hawke immediately issued combat orders, covering the entire division's communication channel. The aerial and ground fire networks erupted instantly.
Various large-caliber energy beams, Depleted Uranium Rounds, and Electromagnetic Pulse Bombs poured onto Ghidorah's body as the top military technology of Jushen Company exploded in full force.
The majestic Ghidorah immediately felt pain. Many wounds appeared on its body, and its three heads looked angrily at the ground and air units.
Sizzle—
Ghidorah let out a furious roar. Its three heads simultaneously spat golden Gravity Rays, sweeping across the battlefield like whips of death, destroying several mechs and over a dozen fighters near it.
The battle reached a fever pitch in an instant!
“It can even recover from its injuries!” Inside the command base, Hawke keenly captured the changes in the monster. Ghidorah's wounds were healing at a rate visible to the naked eye, returning to their original state in just a dozen seconds.
After confirming, Hawke's expression turned grave: “Full-power saturation strike! Don't give it a chance to recover!”
Energy beams and shells rained down even more densely, but Ghidorah had gone completely berserk. Its three heads took turns spitting Gravity Rays, and the lightning storm triggered by its flapping wings swept across the battlefield. Every strike dealt a significant loss to the troops.
“Sir, the countdown for the Plasma Annihilation Cannon has begun. Three, two, one, fire!”
A soldier next to Hawke said. As his words fell, from a weapon port on the Mothership in the air, deep blue plasma energy gathered. The annihilation cannon, compressed to its limit, blasted toward Ghidorah's left head with immense power.
The blinding blue light hit the head instantly. Ghidorah let out a shrill roar as half of its head was dissolved.
Stung by the pain, it immediately locked onto the target. Its remaining two heads simultaneously spat Gravity Rays, and two golden pillars of light pierced the Mothership like spears. The Mothership's metal hull instantly shattered, and flames accompanied by thick smoke shot into the sky. At the same time, Ghidorah flapped its wings and took flight, its massive body weaving through the clouds as it began to chase the Fighter Jets fleeing in the air and use its aerial advantage to strike the ground troops.
The gale was torn apart by its wings, and the lightning in the clouds followed it like a shadow. Gunfire and lightning intertwined, occupying the entire field of vision.
Hmm... very exciting. If this were moved to the screen, the ratings would definitely skyrocket.
Lin Fang watched intently. Although the combat power of these air units was far from comparable to his Space Fleet, it was still somewhat worth watching. At least they were going back and forth with Ghidorah and didn't look too pathetic.
There was a reason Lin Fang was so idle. As the new Brigadier General of the Argus Legion, in this command room filled with big shots, it wasn't his turn to speak regarding combat command. He only needed to stand aside and observe and learn.
Lin Fang couldn't help but wonder how he would deal with such a monster if it appeared in reality.
The most effective way would be a space-based strike—precise and lethal.
Just as the thought occurred to Lin Fang, the world suddenly lit up for a moment. A purple beam of light shot down from space, accurately striking Ghidorah's torso.
This energy intensity was clearly more than ten times that of the Plasma Annihilation Cannon just now. The purple beam instantly pierced through Ghidorah's body, and terrifying energy exploded inside it. Dark-gold scales shattered in patches, and the massive body with a wingspan of over 500 meters stumbled and crashed into the ice field, creating a giant crater. Ice shards and frozen soil shot into the sky.
“Sir, the Satellite Judgment Railgun has successfully hit. The target's torso has suffered devastating trauma!”
Another soldier's calm voice sounded from the console.
“Good. All units, attention. Continue saturation fire. Don't give it a chance to recover. We must completely annihilate it!”
Hawke said in a deep voice. Although the power of the railgun was somewhat unexpectedly beyond his expectations, it had ultimately succeeded in heavily wounding the target. This S-rank Monster's time was up.
Suddenly thinking of something, Hawke turned his head to look at the young man beside him, who seemed stunned by the shocking war scene. He walked over with the steady expectation of a division commander for his subordinate and patted Lin Fang's shoulder, his voice clear and powerful:
“Sean, a fleet isn't omnipotent. You still have a lot to learn.”
Lin Fang: ...
