Chapter 1781: Air Force Takes Off

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

It would not be as simple as just sending over a Black Monarch. He would like to see how lethal the modern weapons were toward the abyssal creatures.

It was less than half an hour to noon.

The Divine Brush Douluo Yu Guanzhi seated on the supreme commander’s seat suddenly opened his eyes and shouted with a deep voice, “Send out the reconnaissance robots.”

With the issue of the order, it indicated that the battle was about to begin at last.

Over a thousand reconnaissance robots surged out from the federal military’s side akin to a swarm of bees. These robots moved out toward the abyss.

In the command post’s meeting room, a number of large screens immediately switched over to the visuals of these reconnaissance robots. They were approaching the northernmost core area rapidly following the direction of the video recording captured by Gu Yuena earlier.

Everyone’s attention was focused on these robots. Their expressions turned solemn soon after.

These robots advanced with shocking speed. Apart from the burrowing robots, the vast majority of these robots were moving forward swiftly.

“Please take your place and prepare to move out at any moment. We shall communicate via the soul communicator on the assigned frequency.” Yu Guanzhi turned around to face the people. “The final battle is upon us. Let me congratulate you first. Victory to us!”

“Victory!”

The numerous generals and the leaders from the great soul masters’ organizations left the meeting room separately. They carried their soul communicators which were linked to the military video equipment so they could watch the videos recorded earlier by the reconnaissance robots.

It was not just the great soul masters’ organizations but also the federal military’s soldiers’ first time to partake in a battle of this scale. After all, when had the eight great army corps ever engaged in an operation together? It did not happen even when they were waging war against the Star Luo and the Dou Spirit Empires.

The Southern Army Corps would be arriving in another two days. This would definitely be an unprecedented spectacular event.

Tang Wulin and the rest returned to their camp next to the Life Subtree immediately and closely monitored the video recording transmitted by the reconnaissance soul devices.

Thule was a world covered in ice and snow. The hostile environment of Thule with its ultra low temperature and strong gales made it uninhabitable by mankind. Only an exceedingly small number of soul beasts with an affinity for ice and snow could survive here.

Different perspectives of the views were continuously displayed on the different soul devices.

Ten minutes later, the reconnaissance soul device flying at the forefront finally spotted the presence of the abyssal creatures.

A four-clawed bat was flying in the sky. It had sensed the reconnaissance soul device’s presence at once, as it began flying straight toward the reconnaissance soul device.

The reconnaissance soul device flew at an unusually high speed just like a small-scale soul airplane. With its agility, it flew away immediately.

The soul device was controlled remotely, hence it was much more agile than manned airplanes.

However, the four-clawed bat suddenly gave out a screech to launch a fluctuation that could not be seen with naked eyes.

The reconnaissance soul device trembled once and dropped like a brick instantly. The four-clawed bat charged forward at lightning speed and used its claws to smash the device.

“It should be similar to a soundwave attack. The four-clawed and six-clawed bats have such an ability,” said Cao Dezhi in a deep voice.

He had dealt with the abyssal creatures on multiple occasions, so he had a good knowledge of these creatures naturally. action

The four-clawed and six-clawed bats came in large numbers but their fighting capacities were not overly powerful. On the other hand, their reconnaissance abilities were rather powerful while their supersonic soundwaves could be used in both attack and defense. Also, it aided their reconnaissance abilities.

Although the reconnaissance soul device moved swiftly, it was not as quick as the supersonic soundwave. Besides, the soul device lacked interference abilities. Consequently, the first reconnaissance soul device was destroyed.

Soon after, more reconnaissance and detection soul devices appeared. However, the four-clawed and six-clawed bats had also begun to appear in the sky. These creatures were spread out over an expansive area to block the reconnaissance activities.

The different reconnaissance soul devices were fully exposed to these creatures’ supersonic soundwaves. A large number of reconnaissance soul devices were subsequently destroyed under the blockade.

Actually, such a situation had occurred before. Only this time, it was the federal military that deployed the reconnaissance soul devices.

The reconnaissance soul devices which were burrowing underground were still on the way. These devices needed more time to reach the frontline.

“Air Force Battalion One, take off. Reconnaissance by fire.” Yu Guanzhi gave the order through the public channel of the operational command post.

The expressions on all the soldiers and the numerous soul masters turned solemn upon hearing the command ‘reconnaissance by fire’.

Reconnaissance by fire was the act of carrying out reconnaissance using the air force personnel. The pilots would be sacrificing their lives in exchange for firsthand information!

Dong Zian had already returned to his command post in the Western Army Corps. He squinted his eyes upon hearing the order. “Yu Guanzhi has some nerve, huh.”

Qiangu Dongfeng was standing beside Dong Zian. “I hope the results will be good then.”

Dong Zian took a glance at him. “Of course. I know about your situation. The minister has explained to me since earlier. However, everything is based on whether we achieve victory in this war.”

Qiangu Dongfeng nodded, and a cold radiance could still be seen surging in the depth of his eyes. He tried multiple ways to revive his crippled arm but failed miserably. That was how domineering the Golden Dragon Spear was. Deep in his heart, he hated Tang Wulin for maiming him!

No one knew that he had received the Ghost Emperor’s call through a special channel on his soul communicator last night.

Loud, piercing sonic booms could be heard coming from the sky. The silver-white soul aircrafts marked with the federation’s logo took off at high speeds and flew straight to the core area of Thule in the distance.

An air force battalion was made up of about fifty fighter aircrafts. Each army corps had their own organization system, but its overall structure was basically the same.

The soul aircraft was the federal military’s most expensive war machine. Even the Central Army Corps possessed five hundred fighter aircrafts only which was considered the highest allocation given to them.

A soul fighter aircraft was albeit not as versatile as a mecha in a battle. Nonetheless, its speed was way beyond a mecha’s reach, even a divine-ranked mecha.

The normal military equipment only included the purple mecha. Any mecha above the purple rank were personally owned by the leaders. Hence, those mechas were not considered part of the military equipment.

At present, the fifty soul aircrafts were flying at full speed. The viewing angles displayed in the video recordings were now wider. Having a bird’s eye view of the ground from a high altitude gave a wider coverage.

The fifty soul fighter aircrafts were travelling at an unusually high speed. The aircrafts attained supersonic speeds in flight within a short time after taking off.

Yu Guanzhi had a solemn expression on his face and his fists were tightly clenched. The Air Force Battalion One was the most elite troop in the Central Army Corps. The troop comprised flying aces as its core strength. The Air Force Battalion One only flew the most crucial missions. They had never let Yu Guanzhi down.

As the supreme commander of this battle which had gathered the various army corps, Yu Guanzhi understood that his people should lead by example. Otherwise, how could he make the rest of the people follow his orders? He would not want to send his subordinates to doom, of course. Hence, he had deployed his most powerful air force. It seemed like the best option to reduce the casualties.

The fifty soul aircrafts were the product of the Federation’s latest technology at the moment. The aircrafts were all equipped with the most advanced radar and anti-jamming devices.

The aircrafts spread out at once after flying out from the camp. Two aircrafts flew together at high speeds.

Usually, in aerial combat, if there were two fighter aircrafts, one would be the lead while the other the wingman.

The lead aircraft would lead the attack while the wingman would protect it. With such a strategy, the two fighter aircrafts could execute different maneuvers in the air.

Normally, the soul aircrafts were divided into formations of different sizes during aerial combat. Some formations were smaller in number while some had bigger numbers. Whatever the number was, the smaller the formation, the more skilled the pilots.
