Sky-cracking Rider-Chapter 657: Section 652 - The Rebel Army’s Second Target

Louis Industrial Company's conceptual armament, the main body of the X-D-005 Giant Dragon-type Combat Mobility Armor, was still metallic, and in front of Chen Fei's industrial-grade Metal Elemental Psychic Power, it was no different from putty that could be squashed and molded at will.

The artificial intelligence AI "Adam" had re-planned and designed this mechanical dragon from the inside out, reusing as many of the existing non-metallic components and various electrical elements as possible.

The mechanical components constantly transformed, disassembled, and recombined, and adjustments were repeatedly made. After more than ten minutes, it completely changed its appearance.

The original bionic aesthetic of the dragon shape was gone, leaving only a huge cylindrical cannon floating one meter above the ground. The dark muzzle had a diameter of a whopping 1200 millimeters, and the barrel was even as long as 15 meters; the number of Magic Array Inscription units had been reduced to 233, but it was still sufficient, as the cannon mode did not require so many auxiliary flight and attack Magic Arrays.

"Adam" was either not involved at all or went all out when involved. The final product was simple and crude, devoid of any industrial aesthetics. As for its power, as long as it could shoot, hit, and hit hard, that was enough; it never considered any superfluous features.

The cannon was not short of ammunition, as it used railgun launching. The caliber size could be downward compatible; Chen Fei had Demolition Bombs with a 600 mm caliber. If necessary, he could even exchange Metal solid bullets directly with Energy Points.

A 10-ton solid bullet, accelerated by an electromagnetic rail to 5 Mach, could easily deliver 14.4 billion joules of kinetic energy, which was far more efficient than the 9.8 billion joules of kinetic energy caused by the mechanical dragon's self-destructive impact. And no matter what, it would not risk Chen Xiao'er's life again.

As long as the power was sufficient, the acceleration of the electromagnetic rail could easily reach 10 Mach, or even 20 Mach, nearly the ultimate in physical strike weaponry.

Chen Fei initially did not accept "Adam's" plan, mainly because the atmosphere of the battlefield made him too aggressive; going deep alone, fighting thousands single-handedly… he just couldn't stop.

The sky gradually darkened, and the battlefield was still ablaze with fire, with missiles and cannon shells flying over from time to time, exploding on the surface of the Protective Barrier.

However, Chen Fei's mental state was improving, the effects of the Magic Medicine were still being released, continuously alleviating the aftereffects of his severe injuries and replenishing his depleted Vital Energy.

After all, it was a high-grade Potion; the medicine was intense and strong at the beginning, stable and mild later, able to sustain for a long time, stimlating self-repair of life signs to the optimal State, and even making up for the consumption of the Telomere Body.

The "Intelligence Team" proactively contacted Chen Fei, they had discovered Xia Ji's whereabouts, even sooner than expected.

These intelligence masters had vast divine abilities; they could even capture pictures of Xia Ji with senior officers of the Rebel Army, as if the camera was right there up close.

"To think he's actually in cahoots with the Rebel Army, no wonder we couldn't find him!"

Chen Fei, seeing the convincing photos, twitched the corners of his mouth, feeling that there was more than just a setup behind him; perhaps even a conspiracy. It was no accident that a rebellion arose in the Slan Dynasty. You could almost suspect that even the Imperial Security Department had been infiltrated, taking the opportunity to act under the guise of letting the tiger return to the mountain.

Following this conspiracy theory, the real reason behind the sudden death of the leader of the local snake gang "Hundred-Legs Gang" of Nandu City, might not be because he was loyal to the Silan Dynasty and unwilling to participate in the rebellion, but because he noticed something odd about the rebellion, knew too much and was silenced.

Therefore, the reasons behind why Chen Fei and Her Royal Highness the Princess, disguised as Investigative Agent Yu Zilin, were abruptly arrested and jailed by the local Security Department were also likely not simple.

"Confirm the location and send it to me!"

Chen Fei communicated with the "Intelligence Team."

No matter whether Xia Ji was still at that location or not, with or without targets, he would first take a couple of stabs. This very much suited Chen Xiao'er's impulsive nature.

"Due to the time difference, it's uncertain if Xia Ji is still at the original location. Do you plan to use cannon snipers or missile precision strikes? We do not recommend doing this as it will complicate confirming the kill effect."

The "Intelligence Team" quickly guessed what Chen Fei wanted to do.

A single shot or missile strike would mean, let alone finding an intact body, it would be hard to find even remains; only god would know if the target was completely obliterated.

"Confirming is your job; I'm just responsible for eliminating the opponent!"

Chen Fei passed the buck cleanly, preferring a simple sniper shot to save trouble.

Xia Ji and his men were under Sure-Death Curse Magic; it didn't matter if they died sooner or later, the difference was irrelevant. This cat and mouse game, after the intervention of the Silan Dynasty's rebel forces, had lost his interest in continuing.

The latest intelligence indicated that the much-reviled "Water Bear" organization was suspected of colluding with the Rebel Army, universally condemned.

Wait, there was an even more ruthless play!

"'Suicide Squad,' arrange for someone to go to the Rebel Army camp, convey this message, 'Xia Ji is a core member of the 'Water Bear' organization. If you don't want Blue Star to get directly involved, it's best to hand him over here at the Dimensional Gate, and then we can all continue the fight.'"

Shrewd as a shrimp but heartless as a pig.

Currently, Blue Star was only minimally protecting the Dimensional Gate Management Substation, not letting the plane coordinates "Longinus" fall into the Rebel Army's hands. However, should a sufficient excuse be given, direct military intervention on Cangqiong Star Zhai Liuzhou's battlefield would immediately disrupt the currently stable balance. The Rebel Army simply could not withstand the joint strike of the Silan Dynasty's suppression forces and Blue Star Sovereignty army. Forget about rebuilding the Tessa Empire, the rebels might be annihilated so thoroughly that reinstating the glory of the Tessa Empire would be impossible.

"'Suicide Squad' received, number 8, you go!"

Going to the Rebel Army camp with a message was almost a one-way ticket, but the members of the "Suicide Squad" did not care at all; they were finally getting some action.

An hour later, a dull thud erupted from the Rebel Army headquarters, and a black mushroom cloud slowly rose.

The "Intelligence Team" confirmed the situation. Whether they were surveillance experts or intelligence analysts, there was no shortage of clever individuals, who immediately guessed what had happened.

"The Rebel Army camp had an explosion; someone self-detonated, causing nearly twenty casualties. 'Rookie,' did you do it?"

"Hehe!"

Chen Fei said nothing.

The three teams operated independently, without any contact with each other, as Mr. Louis Landon had earnestly reminded them. In human hearts, hidden motives lie, the more one knows, the more one thinks, and the greater the likelihood of accidents.

"Attention, two Main Force Lightwing Ships are headed in the direction of the business hotel, their target is suspected to be Mr. Louis Landon."

"What?"

Foll𝑜w current novℯls on ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm.

"The Dimensional Gate Management Substation is the primary target, Mr. Landon the secondary; the Rebel Army has opted for its next best move."

"Intelligence Team" quickly analyzed the intent of the two Main Force Lightwing Ships.

"This is bad!"

Chen Fei was visibly alarmed.

Not only was it bad that Louis Landon was targeted, but coercing Blue Star through him was a clever strategic move.

When the city gate catches fire, the fish in the moat suffer, and Teacher Shen, who was also at the hotel, was inevitably going to be affected.

"Recommend immediate support!"

"Intelligence Team" also wanted to ensure their employer's safety.

"But here..."

Chen Fei was concerned about the Dimensional Gate Management Substation.

His combat capabilities had been greatly reduced due to his injuries, and he couldn't be as wildly effective as before, but he could still inflict considerable damage on the Rebel Army.

"Intelligence Team" fell silent; protecting the Dimensional Gate Management Substation was the mission objective, yet the employer's safety was equally critical, making it difficult to decide on the spot.

Adam: The two Main Force Lightwing Ships are 21 kilometers from the business hotel.

The Floating Mega Cannon slowly turned, its barrel aimed in the direction of the business hotel.

The artificial intelligence AI didn't have too many hesitations, choosing the option with the highest probability, usually not considering the variance of accidents, because accidents are either 0 or infinite.

Seeing the autonomous action of the Floating Mega Cannon, Chen Fei immediately understood "Adam's" decision and then replied to the "Intelligence Team."

"You guys continue to focus on the Rebel Army, keep track of Xia Ji's location."

He then called the "Strong Men Team."

"'Strong Men Team,' reach the vicinity of the business hotel and eliminate all intruders."

"Finally some action, let's move!"

The "Strong Men Team," secretly stationed at the edge of the battlefield, immediately started moving their position, just like the "Suicide Squad," watching the fierce fight between the Rebel Army and the Dimensional Gate Management Substation while nearly bored out of their minds.

Chen Fei still had an ace up his sleeve, having borrowed a squad of combat mechs from the exhibitors, he turned and headed toward the direction of the business hotel to bolster its defenses.

If necessary, escort Louis Landon and Shen Fei to the Dimensional Gate Management Substation,

Though the Protective Barrier surrounding the building complex was like an iron bulwark, the one at the Dimensional Gate Management Substation was of a much higher grade and strength. The Protective Barrier protecting the business hotel building could hardly withstand continuous full-force attacks from the Main Force Lightwing Ships, and it was estimated it could only last three to five minutes before it would collapse under strain and protection would be lifted.

"'Adam,' target the Lightwing Ships, use the Particle Beam as a guide, then launch the 'Dragon Slayer Missile' at Mach 6!"

Chen Fei took out two "Dragon Slayer Missiles" from his Space System Alchemy Storage Device, began the decryption, activated them, then carefully loaded them into the magazine of the Floating Mega Cannon.

Just one "Dragon Slayer Missile" was enough to flatten every building in the Dimensional Gate Management Substation, including the sturdy main structures.

The Giant Dragon-type Fighters probably couldn't withstand a hit from the "Dragon Slayer Missiles" either!

Adam: Pre-charging begins, charging complete! Laser Beams First Level calibration, Particle Beam Second Level calibration.

The thick atmosphere near the ground, with its changes in air temperature and density, caused the laser beams to twist and lose energy, particularly particles suspended in the air would block the lasers' advance, only the intensely powerful Particle Beam could fire a straight stream of particles.

"Fire!"

No sooner had Chen Fei spoken than the Floating Mega Cannon to his side forcefully recoiled, its rear and barrel edges ejecting multiple fierce air streams to restabilize the cannon.

Almost simultaneously, a "missile," trailing a blazing flare, was hurled away at incredible speed.
