Chapter 5: Sword and Shield Shattered

  "Sa, I'll ask you a question. In this world, what is the most precious thing to people?"

  What is the most precious thing to people? At first glance, you would think of kinship, friendship or love. But this is not a philosophical question, nor is it asked by a teacher of thought. In fact, in this noisy and chaotic battlefield, there is such a quiet moment to answer this strange question, which is already a very strange thing in itself.

  The sky is a brilliant blue, presenting a broad and cheerful cyan color, as pure as clear water, without any impurities. The sea is calm and waveless, with a deep blue hue, like the most precious gemstone, sparkling beautifully. You might think you can see through both of them at a glance, because they are so pure and beautiful. But in fact, due to the depth and vastness of the sky and the sea, your gaze can never penetrate all this!

  Purity taken to an extreme becomes complexity; all colors gathered to a certain degree become like the thickest black, refusing any external inspection.

  The sky has no floating clouds blown by the clear wind, and the sea surface has no splashing water flowers. It's as still as a painting. In this blue-colored picture scroll filled with weirdness, there are occasionally one or two sparks that add some light, heat, and passion to this rigid world.

  And that spark! Is the highest treatment of life burning fiercely, colliding with each other, fighting to the death, until eternal sleep! Fight fight fight! Fight to the death!

  On the surface of this sea, known to humans as the North Sea, supporters of the two major military organizations, NATO and the Soviet Union, are driving steel monsters against each other, tearing and killing! First, the vanguard of the Allied transport fleet - 5 assault infantry transport ships - faced 20 furious magnetic storm speedboats and shouted out the slogan "In front is the Allied transport fleet, please stop advancing!" Then the Soviet fleet followed the tradition brought by Xiaobing from another world - "Unannounced war!" Without a word, all weapons were fired at those few poor Allied ships.

  Everything that happened next was a matter of course. - Abandoning all reserve, everyone rushed forward desperately. All sorts of things in the past also left with their departure, and there was no room for anything else in their eyes except the target to be sunk. Here, there is no victory or defeat, only life and death!

  The sky is quiet, the sea is quiet, and the world is quiet. Not a single wisp of breeze dares to disturb the white clouds or the surface of the sea, for the world holds its breath. At this moment, humanity is the protagonist of the world!

  " Ignore those ACVs! Our target is the transport ships! Execute tactic 3, units 1 to 10 turn left 30 degrees and attack the enemy fleet's left flank, units 11 to 20 turn right 30 degrees and attack the enemy's right flank, the rest of the troops provide covering fire!"

  "Yes!"

  The helmsman swiftly rotated the paddle wheel, and then further ignited the engine. The magnetic storm speedboat, which was originally advancing in a "Fēng Yǐ Zhèn" formation, quickly and orderly transformed its formation. In the blink of an eye, the limitless killing intent of the Fēng Yǐ Zhèn formation turned into a "Dao Ba Zi" type, and then it cleverly flashed past the turbulent flow in front of it, making a large semicircle to the side, with its target directly pointing at a huge black transport ship in the center of the Allied fleet.

  As the commander-in-chief of this Allied transport fleet, General Willen's face turned red with rage, abandoning his usual gentlemanly demeanor. He grasped the comms device in his hand and bellowed: "Order! 'Weske' and 'Harwey' activate black hole armor! Don't let those disgusting Russians harm our transports! Hydrofoil squadron, open jamming fire! All ships, tactical evasion, don't get too close to each other, hydrofoils on top! Also, inform those guys hiding in the Eikfisk base to speed up their rescue efforts!"

  "Yes!"

  A destroyer named "Weiss" immediately abandoned its original firepower attack and activated the Black Hole Armor after receiving the order. After activating the Black Hole Armor, the originally well-lit "Weiss" was forced to turn off its lights, and its weapon system also stopped operating immediately. As a secret weapon of the Allied escort ship, the Black Hole Armor can generate a magnetic field that attracts enemy damage by overloading the hull. After activation, the ship's weapon system will be completely paralyzed for a short time, which means that once the "Black Hole Armor" is activated, even if the "Weiss" is not sunk, it can only turn around and escape immediately!

  The hydrofoils on both sides of the transport ship also sprang into action as soon as they received the order. Although they only carried a high-speed anti-aircraft machine gun, another device deployed at the rear right was their killer!

  Interference ray! —— Initiate.

  As the driver pressed the button, the interference tower at the rear of the hydrofoil also quickly rotated.

  A burst of pale green interference light shot straight at the magnetic storm speedboat that was already poised to strike. In an instant, the magnetic storm speedboat, which had originally emitted a faint blue electric glow, suddenly lost its luster as if it had been "shut down".

  "Comrade Lieutenant Colonel! Our entire weapons system has lost control! Please instruct!" The communication device transmitted the panicked shout from his subordinate.

  "Get rid of them quickly! At the same time, those who are not exposed to the light, open fire immediately! The target has been changed to those hydrofoil boats! Also, let your people use the external machine gun to provide covering fire for me immediately! Take out this damn bunch!" Xiaobing's armor was suddenly hit and he shouted in a fluster.

  Just as Xiaobing Jia issued the order, two unlucky Magnetic Storm speedboats had already been sunk by a small torpedo launched by the incoming Ji Liang ACV.

  The magnetic storm speedboats that received the command immediately performed tactical evasion, dodging left and right to avoid those annoying rays. The other three magnetic storm speedboats that were not hit by the rays immediately changed their target, shooting a 10 million volt blue electric current at a hydrofoil boat. Under the terrifying voltage attack of the three magnetic storm speedboats, it quickly sank into the sea floor with a deafening roar.

  The magnetic storm speeder that escaped from the interfering rays also rejoined the battlefield after a brief inspection.

  And for those magnetic storms that have not escaped from the interference rays, they are not completely helpless in the face of the surging acv.

  Brave Soviet naval officers and men, under a hail of bullets, quickly climbed to the top of the ship's anti-aircraft gun turret. Then they operated the machine guns face-to-face with the surging waves of ACVs, engaging in a fierce shootout. Some of the officers and men were accidentally hit in the head by stray bullets during the shooting and fell down softly, clutching their heads. Immediately afterwards, another officer took his place and continued the unfinished task of his predecessor.

  In this way, under the counterattack of the Soviet Navy officers and men, those acv's were temporarily afraid to get close. Because some of their companions had been shot through by flying bullets in the lower rubber airbag, which was slowly leaking and sinking into the sea floor.

  "Alright, let's take them down with one swift motion!" Xiao Bing Jia timely rallied his troops.

  "——Oh!!!"

  Looking at the large screen, the red dots on his side were getting fewer and fewer, while the green dots on the other side were getting closer and closer to the object he was supposed to protect. Willem had already smashed the coffee cup in his hand into pieces without any elegance. His twisted facial muscles made him look a bit ferocious.

  He glared at his deputy and said fiercely: "Hasn't it arrived yet!!! Our reinforcements!!!"

  The deputy commander hastily swallowed his saliva, not daring to look directly at the naval lieutenant general known for being " swift and decisive in action". He stuttered: "Probably... maybe... almost..."

  "How much more time is there!!!!!!"

  Just as they were talking, the last hydrofoil was destroyed by the completely freed Magnetic Storm speedboat. This also means that the Allied fleet's greatest killer has been killed. And now, all the Allies can rely on is a light command ship and two assault destroyers, as well as 8 Stream ACVs.

  Just as the deputy was still being evasive, a voice no less pure and clear than that of an angel pierced through the thick armor of the warship and reached the ears of everyone on board.

  Squeak squeak

  A sharp and ethereal cry. On the azure sea surface, hundreds of gray-white dolphins jumped high from the water surface, then circled in the air and fell back down again! The jumping performance of a single dolphin is very beautiful. But the simultaneous jump of hundreds of dolphins cannot be summarized with just one adjective - magnificent!

  The sunset's afterglow, like a veil of smoke, envelops the sea. That vague and ethereal golden light. The originally calm and peaceful sea surface was suddenly broken by an unexpected guest. Ah, it's dolphins!

  With a light leap, a burst of golden sand. The waves shimmered and sparkled, as if the infinite glow and gold sand piled up in the sea water suddenly splashed into the air. The refracted light accompanied by the slender body adorned with countless golden pearls, suddenly seemed to be the focal point that everyone was paying attention to. And then, following his descent, it made people feel endless regret. It was as if all the excitement and shock just seen were like a fleeting illusion in one's mind. Just when people were greatly disappointed and not yet satisfied, even more of them appeared again with an even higher and more perfect posture in front of everyone...

  To outsiders, this should be a wonder at the masterpiece of nature, but now on such a battlefield full of life and death, blood and fire, they are an existence that drives away despair and brings hope to an army at a disadvantage!

  The deputy was suddenly moved to tears, not because of sadness, but because his life had finally been saved by the belated arrival of these dolphins.

  No unnecessary nonsense, those dolphins that had received professional training immediately began their attack on the magnetic storm speedboats as soon as they arrived at the battlefield.

  The WP100 sonic disintegration gun worn on the dorsal fin, under the brain wave stimulation of the dolphin's brain, further amplifies the ultrasonic waves radiated from the dolphin's head, and its power has already reached a terrible level. So, how big is this power?

  Then look at this part below.

  Three dolphins swam silently underwater and arrived under the Magnetic Storm Speedboat without making a sound. Taking advantage of the speedboat's unawareness, the dolphins immediately used their attack method - ultrasonic waves.

  They had unwittingly become the target of a magnetic pulse torpedo, and at first they were completely unaware, attributing the ship's unusual rocking to the shockwave from the enemy's close-in defense guns. It wasn't until their hull was shattered by multiple penetrating hits from the dolphin that they realized something was amiss.

  But all of this was too late. The last straw that broke the camel's back had been cast by a dolphin named Marisa. In an instant, the steel plate made of special alloy at the bottom of the cabin could no longer withstand the dolphin's ultrasonic attack and shattered like glass. The icy cold seawater rushed into the cabin in an instant, not even giving the warriors on the upper deck a chance to send out a distress signal, and sank to the bottom of the sea in an instant.

  But such a situation was also happening on other ships. By the time Xiaobingjia discovered that something was wrong, he had already lost 6 speedboats in the silent and soundless attack of the dolphins! A total of 72 naval officers and soldiers!

  Watching a dolphin jumping out of the water to exchange air, Xiao Bing's heart was filled with icy murderous intent.

  His gaze was fixed on the Allied transport ship, which was less than 300 meters away (the other two assault destroyers that had activated their black hole armor and were unable to counterattack were ignored by Xiao Bingjia), a dangerous arc rising at the corner of his mouth, and even the sharp teeth gleaming with cold light could be seen.

  "Full Army—Magnetic Storm Surge!!!"
