"Oh!" the staff officers exclaimed as they clenched their fists and roared angrily.
Nestor Corporation, with three warships advancing side by side, launched a thousand machines simultaneously!
"We’re going up too!" Squadrons 102 and 101 took to the sky, "The Witch Division, charge!"
Pan Ruiyi, holding the Star-Chasing Spear, was ready for battle, while Takahashi Kyoko, carrying a sniper rifle, stood by her side.
On the other side, aboard the Baraya, the Black Fire staff closely monitored the next move of Nestor Corporation’s troops.
Their exchanged glances revealed the tense atmosphere spreading among them.
Everything seemed so unbelievable to them.
"The Yokozuna is moving forward!" an observer exclaimed, "It’s still advancing—why?"
"All hands to battle stations! The Baraya will engage the enemy in 20 minutes!"
"Prepare for combat! The Yokozuna is posing a threat! Check your weapons!"
Thanks to the casting of the warship’s shell with Yan Duo Metal, which now glittered like gold under the high temperatures, the entire Yokozuna shone brightly.
It was as if the Sun God himself had joined the battlefield!
It moved straight toward the Baraya, dripping molten iron along the way, with its crew members igniting one by one, maintaining the warship’s power and firepower until the very last moment of their lives.
The Black Fire staff broke into a cold sweat. What was this, driving a burning coffin toward them instead of abandoning the warship?
According to their estimates, after the Yokozuna was ordered to be destroyed by Huang Feng, all personnel would rapidly evacuate, leaving the Orochi and Chika Island completely unmatched.
But... it was aflame and charging straight at them!
Just witnessing this scene made the staff tense.
At this speed, the Yokozuna would ram into the Baraya in one go, and even if it was melted down to its frame, such a collision would be unbearable!
"Aren’t they afraid of being burned alive?"
"Should we... order the Baraya to retreat?"
"The islanders have clearly been corrupted by a life of comfort, they’re all fragile souls, nowhere near as brave as the warriors of Taiya, but now they show such courage?" a staff member couldn’t help but say.
"... Never underestimate anyone who enters the battlefield," Rolo muttered, "Let’s fight. What do we have to fear? When has Black Fire Innovation ever feared war? Huang Feng... How much longer until you can launch a second..."
Huang Feng remained silent.
The Storm Princess shook her head and dashed out of the warship’s bow cabin.
In the midst of the storm, the first wave of Black Fire Military Machines dispatched from the Baraya pierced through the clouds, diving downward.
"Look! The Yokozuna has been lit by Huang Feng!"
"Just one dive-bombing round, and it’s finished!"
"It’s falling apart!" the Black Fire Pilots’ exhilarated voices sounded over the communications channel.
Suddenly, they witnessed a horrifying sight.
A dense formation of Nestor Corporation "Military Attendant" class fighter jets flew up from below to intercept them.
"A massive amount of Nestor air force!"
"They’ve launched all their fighters!"
"Stick to the plan! Blow up the Yokozuna!"
"I’ve been hit!" Bright red identifiers began to light up in the Black Fire communications channel, signaling that friendly aircraft had been shot down.
Immediately after, the Black Storm swirling around the entire battlefield began to operate at increased speed, disturbing the formation of the Nestor Corporation’s fighters.
The squadrons had to quickly disperse to avoid being swept away by the gale, as the new pilots were not yet able to adapt to such weather and sea conditions.
The Black Fire pilots noticed a light coming from the Baraya, and their previously dampened morale surged once again.
The Storm Princess soared forward, ready to destroy the Nestor air force with her Wind-Control Technique, an integral part of the already established plan.
Suddenly, a long spear flew up from below. The Storm Princess looked down and saw the "Spearman" from the intelligence dossier coming straight at her.
With a forceful wave of her hand, the spear was swept away by a lateral gust of wind.
Without a weapon, how could the "Spearman" battle? The Storm Princess thought to herself.
In an instant, her opponent charged at her with even greater speed!
"I’ll beat you to a pulp!" Pan Ruiyi clenched her fists and charged.
The Storm Princess gathered her magic power in her hands, ready for a fight.
