Fifteen freighters formed a loose arc and headed for the invisible line at a speed of fifteen knots. Two nautical miles behind them, two Ticonderoga and three Alipak guarded the USS Stennis in final preparations. At a speed of thirty knots, they would have had twenty-four minutes to get the hundreds of marines ashore and provide fire support from the beach.

Of course, this is the worst-case scenario. If conditions permit, no one would be willing to throw tens of billions of dollars directly in this place.

"But we're always prepared for the worst, aren't we?" Colonel Hoffman scrutinized the shocking photographs, clicking on them from time to time to compare them with each other. After a while, he sighed lowly, "It seems that this time the Pentagon really made a very wise decision!"

In the video, monsters in the shape of demons in all human fantasies rush into the makeshift defense line, and the soldiers guarding the defense line continue to rain steel on these monsters with rifles, machine guns, rocket launchers, mortars, and even large-caliber howitzers of 155 and 203. Dozens of minutes later, layers of corpses and foul-smelling wreckage covered the ground, and the craters were even filled with black-red viscous blood.

Thousands of ordinary residents, men, women, and children, were driven to clean up the battlefield. Their only weapon was a metal clip in their hand, perhaps a canvas bag behind their back. Due to the distance in the video, the image is not very clear, and you can only vaguely see people falling silently and never getting up again.

"Killing monsters will drop ability seeds, and all kinds of wonderful weapons..."The old captain rubbed his forehead, "What the hell is wrong with this world?"

No one could answer his questions, not even in Edo Castle, which had just regained contact with the outside world, and no one knew what was really going on. The extremely harsh signal and electromagnetic environment made this connection seem precarious, and for three hours, only a few videos and brief calls for help were transmitted.

He stood up and walked out of the captain's room, ready to go and see what was going on.

"Sir, freighters have begun to break through the territorial sea line, and the fleet has begun to move. ”

"Is there anything new?"

"Everything is normal at the moment, there is no sign of that monster appearing. But we're ready to attack, and besides, we haven't spotted any enemy units in the air, so maybe those monsters are taking a nap when they're full?"

There were a few chuckles in the Operational Intelligence Center.

"Get ready, it's our turn to go in!"

The steel behemoth, which was more than three hundred meters long, dragged a long white trail and began to sail forward at a speed of thirty knots. Three nautical miles ahead, more than a dozen freighters were spreading out according to the set course, the rolling waves and pure white wake like a dahlia slowly blooming on the sea.

All the crew members were ready to collide, and in the original plan, they were left with only a deceleration section of less than a nautical mile, and it was difficult to force the ship to stop at such a high speed.

"Attention! Enemy sea units appear in the direction of eleven o'clock!

At the very moment when all the warships entered the territorial waters of the twelve-nautical-mile zone, an exclamation rang out from the operational intelligence center. Immediately after, reports from the surrounding escort ships showed that they had been given dozens of those vehicles to, well, surrounded?

Well, it's not what they expected. The hundreds of enemies they were about to face shrank by ninety percent in an instant, which greatly reduced their pressure. After all, each ship would have to face less than two enemies, and those enemies seemed to have their first targets on those freighters.

"Attack indiscriminately!"

As the roaring sound of cannons and the electric motors and pops characteristic of the phalanx echoed on the surface of the sea, silver-white dolphins were swimming happily in the icy waters beneath these massive steel structures. Their otherwise smooth curves have been filled with strange structures, some of which resemble outerarms.

The Speed Dog has reverted back to his original form, a bantam mechanical dog with three large heads. Dense cables spread out from behind him, deep into all corners of the warship.

"Countdown to ten seconds, ready to cut off the power pack, terminate external communication, signal jamming module start!"

"Ten, nine, eight、...... Three, two, one!"

With a low hum, the originally brightly lit combat intelligence center instantly went dark, all equipment was powered off at the same time, and the steel behemoth under their feet slowly slowed down and stopped after a strange metal collision sound.

"The backup power won't start! We've lost all the signal!"

"The door is locked and can't be opened!"

The ground crew and pilots on the flight deck witnessed a sight they will never forget, and certainly never have the opportunity to forget. The two plastic insects nimbly changed their shape in the sound of cyan arcs and metal rubbing, becoming two mechanical giants seven or eight meters tall, and in the center of their chests, the dark purple madness logo flashed with a dazzling light.

An explosion was heard in the sky, and three plastic bugs and an eagleeye fell into the sea with long black smoke in tow, while the half-fighter half-humanoid mechanical lifeforms that followed them continued to pursue, breaking them into smaller pieces in the air.

"Reverse gear, it's our time. The mechanical giant on the left smirked and moved his wrist, slapping a few ground crews who were about to run away.

"You're right, Pegboard, these meat worms should learn to be afraid, they are facing a powerful berserker!" Only a large, dark red, one-eyed reverse gear monster grinned and grabbed an EA-6B beside him, and smashed it towards several plastic bugs parked on the flight deck in front of him, causing a violent explosion.

"Hey, my friend, you can't destroy them like this, Boss Ko Bowen said, these things are useful materials!" The earthy yellow robot transformed from the trailer crossed its waist and shouted at the two big guys, "Listen, I'm the trailer, this is our trophy, you guys stop it!"

"Wow, let me see, who is this?a dwarf?" Reverse held out a finger and flicked it to knock the earthy yellow robot to the ground. His monolitary eye flashed with various shades of light, and finally formed a large mocking expression.

"Listen up, little man. It's up to us now, do what you have to do, and don't get in front of Uncle Reverse and Mr. Pegboard," he slammed in on the trailer, "or I'll kill you and throw your core in the furnace and feed it to that damn crocodile!"

"No, that's not right......" the trailer got up and fled down the lift into the hangar with a long trail of lube, "I'll report your behavior to my superiors!"

......

After using an emergency axe to crack open the door of the combat intelligence center, the people who had been trapped inside for more than an hour cautiously streamed out. It was dark in the hallway, all the portholes were closed, and no sound could be heard, only the footsteps and wheezing and heartbeats of people kept intensifying the deep fear.

During the sudden deceleration, many people were injured and only did a simple bandage. However, the immediate priority is to re-establish contact with the outside world, and the minor injuries will be ignored for the time being.

"There was no cell phone signal, and the internal network was completely paralyzed. The technical sergeant shook his head and spat: "Damn, this power outage has brought us directly back to the primitive era, and nothing will work!"

Colonel Hoffman pressed his shoulder, which had just been smashed by the slippery chassis.

"What's the nearest exit, we have to go outside!Don't forget, there's a whole bunch of monsters surrounding us!" he coughed, and continued, "No enemy air units have been spotted before, maybe we can take this opportunity to land by helicopter." ”

His words made everyone seem to have found the backbone, and the low mood that had originally permeated the team was immediately swept away, and morale became high.

"It's just a corridor of a few tens of meters, why do I have such palpitations?" The old captain secretly drew a cross on his chest, for some reason, he had an indescribable sense of fear, as if in this darkness, some huge monster was coveting them.
