242: Bomb him!

And then...

Black Tiger felt the newly arrived artillery shells again.

A faint wisp of Spiritual Qi was emanating from these shells.

With just a slight perception, one could feel that the Spiritual Qi within was incredibly violent.

The old guy had truly managed to find some 'tender grass' to eat.

Antiques from decades ago were now using shells whose manufacturing date was still within 24 hours of use.

And they were psionic!

As expected.

Mechanical structures didn't discriminate.

Whether it was psionic or gunpowder-based, they took it all!

"Sir, please don't touch those recklessly,"

a specialized administrator said, his scalp tingling with anxiety.

Black Tiger quickly put the shell down and asked curiously,

"Why?"

Technology in Great Xia updated so rapidly that if you were away for even a short while, you might return feeling like a country bumpkin.

It wasn't strange; the other man was already used to such reactions.

"The interior of these psionic shells is currently in a stable but dull state," the man explained.

"Sir, the Spiritual Qi in your body is vigorous; don't stimulate them into activating."

"With so much ammunition here, it would be bad if a sympathetic detonation occurred!"

Black Tiger nodded.

So that was it.

Then he asked again,

"When are we preparing to fire?"

"Orders have already come from Captain Ye's side. The artillery positions are being constructed."

"Once construction is complete, we fire immediately."

"Eh? Shouldn't they be mobile positions?"

"The enemy hasn't seen this before. Let them get blasted for a few rounds before they even think about counter-striking the positions."

"True."

"Then keep it up, blast the hell out of them!"

"Yes, sir! Blast the hell out of them!"

---All of Great Xia's ancient cannons had been pulled over.

As for those self-propelled howitzers or other equipment, they were still undergoing modification.

The construction of the artillery positions was also very fast.

The soldiers had all been boosted to the Light Rain Realm; they had strength to spare.

"Western Europe and the Zerg side—we still can't contact them?"

Ye Su asked.

Mo Xiaoyu shook her head;

"They seem to have new ideas."

"We are drifting further and further apart from them."

While Great Xia was constantly innovating its technology, Western Europe was heading in an unknown direction.

Technology had been completely abandoned there.

They even blocked Great Xia's technological assistance.

"Those with different paths cannot make plans together!"

Ye Su finally said;

"Send them a message. Regardless of what happens, we hope they won't eventually end up on the opposite side of us."

"This Blue Star has existed for a long time. If in the end only the Great Xia civilization remains, it would be a loss of sorts!"

"Yes," Mo Xiaoyu said;

"The Imperial Capital is already negotiating."

"But there are those... you know, the ones from the hawk faction."

"They feel that since Western Europe won't cooperate, they shouldn't occupy space on Blue Star."

"Whatever artillery Great Xia has, give them a taste of the psionic cannons!"

Ye Su covered his face.

I've somehow become the conservative one.

"Let's just follow the Imperial Capital's rhythm."

"I also don't mind if only we are left on this Blue Star!"

Ye Su said.

He tried to be a bit more moderate to consider Great Xia's feelings, but he didn't realize that Great Xia was actually the one considering his feelings.

The conservatives thought the radicals were too conservative.

And the radicals thought the conservatives were too radical, right?

"Yes. There are three minutes left until the artillery positions are fully constructed."

"Then notify them. In 5 minutes, commence the bombardment!"

"Everyone, make preparations for landing."

"Today, we really must land on their planet and take a look."

Ye Su said.

"Understood!"

The Great Xia base in the Americas quickly sprang into action.

The various legions gradually recovered their combat effectiveness through rest.

Especially Ying Si and Mo Bosha.

The two of them had been the most severely injured during the first wave.

Fortunately, those who specialized in blood-qi had very long health bars.

As long as they weren't killed on the spot,

they would be full of vigor again after a while!

...

5 minutes later.

Everyone was waiting in battle readiness.

Lei Yongtian reported to Ye Su that all artillery positions were ready to fire.

As a high-ranking official of Suzhou, this was a position he had fought hard to secure.

Commander of the Pioneering Artillery Regiment.

It could only be said...

In the Great Xia system, those officers were truly waiting for war until their eyes turned green with envy.

They didn't care if they were fighting other people or aliens.

As long as there was a fight, anything was fine!

Even if those standing before them were gods,

they would still have to face the judgment of the cannons!

"Begin!"

With the final command issued,

16 artillery positions composed of over a thousand giant cannons began to fire simultaneously.

Boom, boom, boom—the explosive efficiency of psionic energy was even higher.

The antiques let out roars that sounded almost like wails, pouring out their fury!

A massive amount of psionic shells left the barrels.

At speeds of thousands of meters per second, they quickly crossed the Blue Star atmosphere, negating Blue Star's gravity while simultaneously being rapidly captured by the Ice Giant Star's gravity.

Just like that,

the shells began to strike the Ice Giant Star's soil!

Boom, boom, boom—on the Ice Giant Star itself, the various special fortresses constructed by the Yetis began to erupt in bursts of fire.

Ice shards soared into the sky, and the firelight reflected within the blue ice blocks.

One could even see many Yetis being blown off their feet.

Under the blanket of fire, no corpse remained intact!

This was the kind of ferocity required.

Every single one of these psionic shells was comparable to a strike from a Zhao Yi Realm expert.

"Aim for the enemy's fortresses!"

Lei Yongtian issued orders incessantly.

The enemy's ground fortresses were the reason for the failure in the last battle.

That light had been fired from those fortresses.

"Frost-type Professionals among the spellcasters, cool down the cannon barrels!"

"Continue, continue! Maintain maximum rate of fire!"

Indiscriminate bombing!

That was the primary effect they were going for.

On the Ice Giant Star's side, terrifying waves of frost were also being raised to cover and protect the fortresses.

As expected.

Only high-value targets were worth the enemy's protection.

The beam of light the Ice Giant Star had swatted them with earlier relied on those ground fortresses!

"Blast them! Keep blasting!"

On this side, the cannons roared.

On the other side, frost filled the sky.

Both sides were engaged in an ultimate contest of firepower!

"Putting a lid on themselves? Then how are they going to hit us?"

Ye Su murmured.

The next second, his gaze sharpened;

"Notify all legions, prepare to charge!"

"Yes!"

Black Tiger's voice rang out.

Then, the Aura of the four legions shook violently.

They were ready for landing!

"Depart!"

Boom—blood-qi filled the heavens.

Everyone soared into the sky!

They were so fast that they could even clearly see the markings on the spinning shells.

"Leave the bombardment zone. We'll land in the periphery. They've lost their ground fortresses and can't stop us anymore!"

Ye Su roared.

As expected,

this landing was incredibly smooth!

The Yetis were being blasted so hard their scalps felt numb, and with their ground fortresses under attack,

they were suddenly unable to form an effective aerial force to fight Ye Su's side.

And so,

Ye Su's side truly landed on the Ice Giant Star.

The moment they stepped onto the ice-blue ground,

everyone felt a sense of physical and mental pleasure.

This was the blue star will's sense of hunger being thoroughly piqued.

It transmitted this emotion to everyone.

Resulting in—Black Tiger frowning and reaching down to scoop something from the ground.

He condensed the crushed ice into a ball.

Then he threw it towards Blue Star!

He didn't know why he did it,

but doing so made him exceptionally happy!
