21: This is the fleet of extermination

What’s even more unbelievable and incomprehensible is that this massive, awe-inspiring behemoth was closely followed by nearly ten smaller destroyers.

They were like Worker Bees in a beehive, surrounding the queen bee, following her every move, not daring to deviate a single step.

From a distance, it was clear that these destroyers were also top-tier vessels; in any comparison, any single one of them would undoubtedly be stronger than the ships Ito Hidekazu himself possessed.

However, at this moment, when these destroyers were placed alongside that “steel beast,” they appeared dim in comparison.

They simply couldn’t be mentioned in the same breath!

Immediately after that.

One after another, massive warships emerged from deep within the dense fog.

These giant ships varied in design; some were a bit taller than the first giant ship, while others were a bit smaller.

But without exception, every single one of these giant ships was at least 200 meters in length!

Each giant ship was filled with various types of Aircraft, and each was surrounded by a circle of destroyers and cruisers. This mighty fleet almost covered the entire sea surface.

Ito Hidekazu counted, and there were as many as 30 of these giant ships! And the destroyers and cruisers surrounding the giant ships numbered over a hundred!

What a terrifying fleet this was, so much so that it had exceeded Ito Hidekazu’s comprehension.

Singh, who was beside him, was now only capable of incessant shrieking.

“God!”

“Oh my God!”

“The mission prompt said 30 maritime units, did it mean these giant ships?!”

“Damn it! So it was one giant ship, plus all the smaller ships surrounding it, that together formed a maritime unit? What?!”

Singh’s analysis at this moment was indeed a small clever design by Lin Ye when he set up the mission.

The Extinguish Country Fleet of the previous life’s Eagle Nation, also known as the Fast Aircraft Carrier Task Force, was the strongest naval power of the Eagle Nation during the S2 period. This single fleet could defeat the entire navy of the Little Japan!

The entire fleet was actually composed of 7 subdivisions.

And each subdivision, in turn, contained 4 to 5 large Aircraft Carriers or light Aircraft Carriers.

Each Aircraft Carrier also managed ten to twenty cruisers and destroyers.

If the entire Extinguish Country Fleet were calculated by the number of ships, it would certainly be in the hundreds.

But when Lin Ye set the mission description, he used “maritime units” instead of “ships.”

Counting an Aircraft Carrier, plus all its accompanying destroyers and cruisers, as one maritime unit is also a very reasonable description.

Since the Sky Curtain approved it, it means this description method is also recognized.

…

“How could Lin Ye alone possess such a massive maritime force? Such a fleet, let alone ten thousand people, even a hundred thousand might not be enough to fight it!”

“Lin Ye’s financial resources are simply at the level of the richest person on Azure Star!”

“This is truly unbelievable!”

Due to nervousness, Singh was already somewhat incoherent.

In front of this colossal fleet, he truly didn’t know what he should do.

He couldn’t swim forward, nor could he swim backward; he could only flail in place.

Beside him, Ito Hidekazu, hiding in the wreckage of the deck, also had his mouth wide open.

Looking at the magnificent sight of those giant ships, a terrifying thought suddenly popped into Ito Hidekazu’s mind.

A thought he himself couldn’t believe!

“This is?”

“Are the warships in this Extinguish Country Fleet… are they Aircraft Carriers?!”

The Aircraft Carrier, as a maritime unit, was actually invented during the S1 period on Earth.

As the name suggests, it is a large surface combat vessel that primarily uses carrier-based Aircraft as its main combat equipment and provides them with a sea-based operating platform.

This large unit directly combined naval power and Air Force power perfectly.

It had miraculous effects in striking surface vessels and submarines, as well as land targets and coastal bases, so various countries quickly increased their investment in research and manufacturing. By the S2 period, Aircraft Carriers were fully in use.

In this regard, Azure Star was slightly behind Earth; to this day, Aircraft Carriers have not yet been invented.

However, there were quite a few conceptual designs for Aircraft Carriers.

Many of the Designer of the stronger naval powers among the Yamato People on Azure Star had already tried to create Aircraft Carriers in the Raging Sea and Surging Waves, but they hadn’t succeeded yet.

At this critical juncture, whoever could produce an Aircraft Carrier would be leading the entire world!

The Emperor of the Great Harmony even issued a handwritten decree! Whoever could design an Aircraft Carrier in the Raging Sea and Surging Waves would be a hero of the Dahe Gathering Ground.

Therefore, when Ito Hidekazu saw one giant ship after another, he was startled to realize that these were Aircraft Carriers!

“Aircraft Carriers?” Singh was startled again. “You mean these big guys are the Aircraft Carriers that every Raging Sea and Surging Waves Designer dreams about?!”

“There’s no mistake. They can carry various carrier-based Aircraft and form Aircraft Carrier battle groups with smaller ship types like cruisers. This is virtually identical to the current Aircraft Carrier design concepts on Azure Star!”

“These are Aircraft Carriers, these are Aircraft Carriers!”

Ito Hidekazu’s heart was now completely filled with fear and shock.

The arrogance he had before, the ambition to conquer this Raging Sea and Surging Waves alone, had now completely vanished.

An Aircraft Carrier as a combat unit, even if there was only one, would be an unstoppable force on Azure Star. In fact, a single small Aircraft Carrier could even be used to design a hell-difficulty Raging Sea and Surging Waves.

And in this Raging Sea and Surging Waves, there were a full thirty Aircraft Carriers!

Thirty!

No wonder it was rated as purgatory difficulty by the Sky Curtain.

Ito Hidekazu could say with absolute certainty that with his meager Raging Sea and Surging Waves weapons, it would be impossible to conquer such a fleet.

There wouldn’t be even the slightest chance.

Ito Hidekazu just couldn’t understand why Lin Ye possessed such top-tier military technology.

If Lin Ye was supported by a force, what kind of force would it be?

Since it had been hidden for so long, why would it expose this world-leading technology at this point? And why would it choose a novice like Lin Ye to carry all of this?

If Lin Ye had no force behind him and was fighting alone, it would be too exaggerated for one person to create such a Raging Sea and Surging Waves.

Ito Hidekazu had held on until now just to see what Lin Ye’s trump card was, to prepare for the next attempt to conquer the Raging Sea and Surging Waves.

But now, seeing Lin Ye’s trump card, all that was left for him was despair.

…

At this moment, the Raging Sea and Surging Waves bullet screen had also entered a completely static state.

The entire Raging Sea and Surging Waves had fallen into a blank screen state.

No one dared to say a word or send a bullet screen.

Audiences are like this: within their scope of understanding, they can chatter and complain.

But once it exceeds their comprehension, all that remains is shock, and there’s no thought left to send a bullet screen.
