509: Drone Drills

Xu Chuanwei had only been here for about half a day, but he already had a clear grasp of the situation facing Nanyue Base. In his view, unless a miracle occurred, even if the Xu Family, Qi Family, and Geng Family—the three great super families—exhausted all their strength, they would still be unable to withstand the assault of the main Sea Clan force!

What gave him a headache was the appearance of Sea Fowl within the main Sea Clan force. These Sea Fowl were not comparable to the Swordfish Clan that had appeared earlier at Shanhai Pass or the flying fish clan that had appeared at Linhai City. They were born masters of the sky, soaring high and low over the ocean, coming and going as they pleased. Moreover, they could dive into the sea to hunt fish, making them incredibly fierce!

From what he learned from Long Yuan, the leaders of the Sea Fowl were the Frigatebird clan, and there were also the Gull clan, the Gannet clan, and the Eagle clan, with their numbers reaching an astonishing total of over ten million!

Such a massive flock of birds would undoubtedly be a huge threat and disaster wherever they attacked!

The Frigatebird clan, in particular, although relatively fewer in number, were each massive in size, with wingspans reaching over twenty meters. It was said that they expended no effort at all when flying in the air; their enormous wings could drift through the sky by leveraging the wind, perfectly utilizing the buoyancy of the air currents to fly. Frigatebirds spent the vast majority of their lives in the sky and rarely had the opportunity to stay on islands; it could be said that their flying technique was near perfect...

Hearing Long Yuan's introduction, everyone, including Xu Chuanwei, was stunned. How could such Sea Fowl be dealt with? He feared that even the giant god cannon would have difficulty locking onto them.

Furthermore, Nanyue Base did not even have a single giant god cannon now!

As for bows and arrows, one might as well forget about them; he feared they would be blown away by the strong winds generated by their wings before they could even reach them...

In the message Xu Chuanwei had previously replied to Xu Yanran, he mentioned that Long Yuan was very confident. This was his intuition as a Late Stage Martial King. However, this did not mean he was optimistic about Long Yuan. After all, the current main Sea Clan force was several times larger than the combined Sea Clan forces from the Shanhai Pass and Linhai City battlefields, and there were clearly many more experts!

He even saw several individuals among the Sea Clan whose cultivation he could not even discern. Those few were very likely Peak Martial King or even Martial Saint level existences. If it were truly as he suspected, then such a Sea Clan could be called invincible!

It was no wonder that the Snow Eagle Country, the War Bear Country, and the Flying Lion Country were currently retreating steadily and struggling to hold on, just waiting for the Golden Core experts from Xuanji Tower to come to their rescue. Now, the Great Ming would likely follow in their footsteps...

Why say the Great Ming instead of Southern Yue? Because once Southern Yue could not hold, these Sea Clans would drive straight in and plow through the entire territory of the Great Ming. The scale of the losses at that time would be unimaginable!

Thinking of this, Xu Chuanwei immediately felt immense pressure. One had to know that for their Xu Family, a significant portion of the Great Ming was their responsibility. If the Great Ming suffered huge losses, it would also mean a loss for the Xu Family, which was something he did not want to see under any circumstances.

He thought for a moment and spoke cautiously: Long Yuan, I saw your pre-battle arrangements, and there does not seem to be any strategy to deal with the Sea Fowl clan. Judging from the information, these Sea Fowl cannot be shot down by ordinary archery squads. If we let them fly above us, I fear we will lose our aerial advantage!

Upon hearing this, the others all looked at Long Yuan. They did not interject because an absolute big shot like Xu Chuanwei had already spoken, and anything else anyone else said would basically be superfluous.

Long Yuan took a deep breath and said: To deal with the Sea Fowl, we do have a contingency plan, it just wasn't shown earlier.

Oh? I wonder if you could let everyone take a look? Xu Chuanwei felt a surge of interest upon hearing this and asked.

Certainly!

Long Yuan waved his hand, and a light screen appeared in the tent. On the screen, teams of Drones appeared, arranged neatly on the ground. This scene left those present somewhat puzzled, not knowing what it meant.

Xu Chuanwei was also stunned and asked: What are these?

Drones! Or rather, unmanned small aircraft... Long Yuan explained.

Aircraft? This small? And unmanned? Everyone was bewildered.

Long Yuan smiled and continued: Everyone look carefully. This Drone is equipped with one thousand micro-bombs. After receiving ground commands, it takes off and then approaches and attacks the enemy according to instructions. Its attack method is primarily mid-to-long range, which allows it to avoid the enemy's close-range attacks and destruction. Of course, it is also excellent in defense. The aircraft has reconnaissance equipment and camera sensors, can perform over one thousand types of evasive maneuvers, and has an energy shield. If, by some mishap, it is truly hit by the enemy, it can also maintain a perfect descent posture for recovery, so it won't completely lose control and crash...

What?!

This is possible?!

Could it be that they are even better at evading than us Xuan Practitioners?

How does it maintain a perfect descent posture after its wings are damaged?

Good heavens, one thousand micro-bombs? One thousand evasive maneuvers? How is this all concentrated on one small aircraft?

Unbelievable...

The discussions among the crowd exploded instantly, with everyone saying all sorts of things. The vast majority of the conversation was focused on the small aircraft's attack and evasion capabilities. To be honest, even Xuan Practitioners would find it very difficult to achieve such a level; how did a small aircraft manage to do it?

Long Yuan did not say much more and directly played the drill footage...

Following an order, the Drones on the ground rose in a straight line, row after row, instantly filling the entire sky. The momentum was magnificent and full of pressure, leaving everyone dumbfounded!

The Drones did not stop at all; they soon split up, turning into several clusters to attack the flying targets in the air!

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...

Rows of Drones fired at full capacity in the air, and the flying targets fell one after another, crashing onto the ground like raindrops...

Next, these Drones demonstrated split-attack tactics, concentrated-fire tactics, encirclement tactics, and various evasive postures, and finally performed a self-protective flight posture during free fall...

This dazzling drill only lasted a short fifteen minutes, but the high level of technology revealed within it left everyone deeply shocked!

No way, no way, what did I just see?!

Wouldn't so many Drones collide with each other in the air?

They almost never miss, and those targets are flying targets without any pattern!

Under concentrated fire, that large target couldn't even last ten seconds!

Are these Drones all controlled by people? How many people does it take to control so many machines?

Good heavens, these are simply small aircraft from the future. I dare say that with these small aircraft, no matter how many Sea Fowl there are, they won't be able to hold out for long!

Exactly, exactly...
