Sky-cracking Rider-Chapter 659: Section 654 - Day Two

Rebel Army: I think we can open a second front at the headquarters of Louis Industrial Company.

Chen Xiao'er: It's not about what you think, it's about what I think, there's no second battlefield!

Rebel Army: Gah...

"Done!"

Chen Fei took a long breath, successfully drawing enough hatred.

Of the known four main force Light Wing Ships of the Rebel Army, three had left, leaving one to talk about air superiority, which was a joke.

"Huh?~~~"

The already stressed Commander of the Dimensional Gate Management Substation, Colonel Sir, was now extremely troubled.

You said that all operations should follow my command, and you show me this?

It was not until the Elemental Storms were released one after another, causing a huge commotion, that he realized that two Dragon Slayer Missiles had been launched right under his nose.

This thing is not any ordinary weapon.

Just one could flatten the entire Dimensional Gate Management Substation, except for the coordinate "Longinus" which would survive due to its indestructible nature; the rest, whether people, equipment, or buildings would be utterly annihilated.

That military contractor employee actually carried such a deadly weapon like Dragon Slayer Missiles, how did he manage to bring them in?

Colonel Sir and the boss of Louis Industrial Company had the same doubt.

-

Clatter, clatter, bang, bang, the gunfire rang out all night, yet it didn't disturb anyone's sweet dreams, and Chen Fei slept until the morning.

Upon waking up, he felt refreshed, and even the symptoms of suffocation, muscle pain, and dizziness from his recent recovery from severe injuries had greatly alleviated, with a recovery of 74% on the spot.

Having grabbed breakfast with the defensive soldiers, Chen Fei was gobbling down his battle meal when the Commander, Colonel Sir, approached and set down a special potion bottle.

"'Rookie', this is for you!"

Chen Fei partook in the battle as an employee of a military contractor, and his flying call sign was also his combat nickname. Upon confirming his identity, he would no longer be addressed by his real name.

"Good morning, Sir!"

Chen Fei greeted him with his spoon before looking at the potion bottle.

The short cylindrical bottle made of crystal clear material contained a vivid red liquid that resembled a top-grade ruby at rest, and if one observed carefully, they could even detect many minute fiber-like materials floating inside.

Colonel Sir casually said, "This is for you, it can restore your combat strength in the shortest time, the only side effect is it's a bit painful."

A potent recovery potion, starting at Earth Order Second Rank, was hard to come by in the civilian sectors.

The sourc𝗲 of this content is frёeωebɳovel.com.

The scarcity was mainly due to the supply-demand relationship, as the intense side effects limited the demand, it wasn't just about production and pricing.

With no alternative, the Dimensional Gate Management Substation was inevitably facing a fierce battle today, urgently needing decisive combat power like Chen Fei.

Despite having high-rank Ability Users among the defense personnel, who could easily beat Chen Xiao'er to the ground, the situation reversed instantly on the battlefield. The latter's Metallic Industrial-grade Special Ability was indeed born for war.

Even if his awakening fixed his rank at B-level with no possibility for further upgrades, the various inconceivable Psi Skills could still enhance and amplify personal combat strength, making a noticeable presence on the battlefield and still holding strong against A-level and Earth Order opponents.

Not even A-levels and Earth Order powerhouses could single-handedly take on a main force Light Wing Ship, let alone bring it down.

Humans, inherently frail, became the dominant species through adept use of tools, and Chen Fei's Psi Skill exactly capitalized on humans' greatest reliance for survival in nature.

"Does this cost anything?"

Chen Fei eyed the magic potion bottle warily, hesitating to reach out.

He had psychological reservations about such things.

It might just be a trap, one sip, and he could owe tens of millions of Star Yuan... No way, absolutely not!

What Chen Fei didn't know was that he had already been administered a dose of magic potion nearly as costly the day before. Any life-saving magic potion had never been cheap.

"Combat consumable, you don't have to pay for it!"

Colonel Sir smiled, dismissing the trivial expense amid public costs shared by two civilizations.

The other party had already been given a magic potion, what was there to worry about now?

If there were a trap, he would already be at the bottom of it.

All expenses were covered by the Dimensional Gate Management, which, like the Blue Star Global United Defense Committee, was a sovereignty unified management unit also involving the Silan Dynasty, serving as an important channel connecting both civilizations.

"Then I won't be polite."

Chen Fei decisively took the magic potion bottle in his hand.

He would keep it, as it could come in handy on a day he needed quick cash.

In his mind, a magic potion equated to a large sum of immediate cash.

This was life-saving money!

"Get ready, there will be a big battle today, you better drink it before the fight starts."

After speaking, the Commander of the Dimensional Gate Management Substation turned and left.

"Drink it? Of course, save it!"

Chen Fei had other ideas, after all, it was a sum of silver, and more importantly, it could save lives at a critical moment.

Boom!~

A deafening explosion sounded as the Rebel Army brought in new heavy weaponry and began bombarding the protective barrier that enveloped the entire Dimensional Gate Management Substation.

If the barrage was intense enough to overload the protective barrier, it would collapse and lose its protective function.

At that time, the entire building complex and position could only bear the brunt as the defensive capability was likely not to retain even ten percent of its strength.

The sky frequently lit up with fire as the unmanned drone fleets of both friends and foes engaged in mutual slaughter, with the Rebel Army's "Sky Falcons" occasionally sweeping through, continually harvesting the drones released from the Dimensional Gate Management Substation.

Thanks to the full support from the Blue Star side, the Dimensional Gate Management Substation didn't need to worry about the drones being completely depleted. With reserves numbering not a thousand, at least eight hundred were on hand, enough to last a considerable amount of time.

The only strategy for now was to hold out as long as possible until the Slan Dynasty's army arrived to suppress the rebellion.

The Rebels' time was running out, and with each passing hour, the situation increasingly favored the Dimensional Gate Management Substation.

After hastily finishing breakfast, Chen Fei received a transmission from the Dimensional Gate Defense Command Center.

"'Rookie', keep your Combat Mobility Armor in cannon form and stand by. A batch of explosives is on its way—ten 500 kg high-explosive aerial bombs, five 1000 kg cloud bombs..."

Clearly, after the previous night's two Dragon Slayer Missiles successively blew up two Main Force Light Wing Ships, the Dimensional Gate Management Substation had taken an interest in this sharp superweapon.

The Railgun Weapon was famously good in compatibility; as long as the projectile had a full-metal casing and its maximum diameter was within the launching caliber, it could be projected effortlessly—be it regular shells or aerial bombs; once thrown, they would explode anyway.

The cannon form was used for defense, the dragon form for offense; Louis Industrial Company's Conceptual Armament was versatile. This time, it was likely to catch the eye of many sovereignties' militaries on Blue Star.

(The "X-D-005 Giant Dragon-type Combat Mobility Armor" design team collectively fainted in the restroom—they had never thought it could be played this way, fearing it was about to be broken!)

Neither Chen Fei nor the AI "Adam" saw anything wrong with this bit of shrewd manipulation – improv (wild modification) was par for the course!

"'Intelligence Team', allocate a squad to track Xia Ji's whereabouts, giving you a team to go full force after Xia Ji!"

While waiting to be deployed, Chen Fei also contacted the "Intelligence Team" and "Suicide Squad" to issue new orders.

The "Suicide Squad's" remaining operational life was less than 24 hours. As there was no suitable task for them, they decided to use the expendables as warriors, sending them to pursue Xia Ji and others who were being tracked by him and Princess Lin Ziyu; better to go out with a bang than silently waiting to die from poisoning!

Louis Landon of the Industrial Company never imagined that after Chen Fei single-handedly took part in the defense of the Ground Portal Management Substation in the suburbs of Nandu City, he could alone dominate the situation, rendering his carefully prepared three trump cards unable to play their anticipated role, with Chen Xiao'er alone recklessly handling the situation, and wildly so.

X-D-005 Giant Dragon-type Combat Mobility Armor + Chen Fei + AI "Adam" = Variables * n (n>1).

The application of tools makes efficiency increase exponentially.

"We can take over, but we cannot guarantee the casualty rate."

The "Intelligence Team" expressed concern ahead of time.

After all, combatants are not chess pieces to be easily sacrificed.

"To achieve the goal, disregard casualty costs, even if it means fighting to the last man."

Chen Fei set his own bottom line, which was that there was no bottom line.

The dead were doomed anyway, better to die gloriously; that's what he thought, and likely the dead soldiers thought the same.

"Understood, understood!"

According to the professionals in the "Intelligence Team", this "Rookie" was truly ruthless, harsh on others and even harsher on himself.

This team was likely to be on a one-way trip.

Intelligence and planning are inseparable; there are tactics for low sacrifices, and tactics for high sacrifices. The "Intelligence Team" naturally had strategies formulated based on the intelligence already obtained.

The ones marked by Xia Ji and others were probably doomed this time.

"On the Rebel side, a Main Force Light Wing Ship is approaching the edge of the battlefield, 120 kilometers away from the Dimensional Gate Management Substation."

The "Intelligence Team" was about to conclude this communication with Chen Fei when they suddenly reported a new piece of information.

With the Ground Portal Management Substation at the center, a warning ring was set every 40 kilometers in radius, and three levels of alert had been set; 40 kilometers was precisely the maximum firing range of conventional artillery.

The farthest third Level of alert circle was about 120 kilometers from the Dimensional Gate Management Substation, exactly at the edge of the standard firing range of the Railgun Weapon within the atmosphere.

While the actual range of the Railgun was indeed further, hitting targets a thousand kilometers away wasn't impossible, but the shells couldn't stand flying that far.

High-speed friction with the atmosphere vaporizes even meteors, let alone artillery shells.

Unless it was a special artillery shell with special heat-resistant coatings and heat-resisting guide caps, most full-metal shells could only fly about 120 kilometers or so before they would melt from excessive heat, deforming into a plasma state, and completely losing accuracy.

If the trajectory was too high, they might disperse in the atmosphere before even reaching the ground.

"What sneaky plot are they hatching?"

Chen Fei couldn't guess what the Rebel Army's last remaining Main Force Light Wing Ship near Nandu City was planning, so he instructed "Adam" to control a propeller-driven drone for reconnaissance.

A minute later, before the propeller-driven drone could even exit the first level warning circle, it had lost contact.

In every corner of the sky, drone wreckage fell like raindrops.

The combat between drones was far more brutal than that of manned combat aircraft.
