Chapter 1254: Ashes to Ashes (1/2)
“F*ck these motherfuckers! How dare they attack my home while I’m gone!” Jiang Fei hissed angrily as he stood at the inner entrance of his base. There were countless Mutants and Unknowns working on cannons that were shooting constantly.
Jiang Fei’s base was now weathered with damage but as the base was made of pure Namekian’s metal, even after being attacked for so long, it would still take more than just a few cannons to actually make a hole in its walls. At this point, the New Saint’s Guards were no longer standing outside the base as they were already running low on energy, unable to continue their counterattack. They were all taking cover inside the base where it was safe and secure.
Judging from the damage of the base, the amount of debris left on the ground and the external walls, the number of empty crystal shells discarded, Jiang Fei could see that the bombing had started and lasted for several days. Several layers of protection were already destroyed, leaving the base’s walls at its bare foundation. The number of casualties were high and many of the New Saint’s Guards were either KIA or rendered unable to continue fighting. This, in particular, made Jiang Fei really mad.
Even though the girls were born into this world via alien Bio-Technology, they were sentient and were treated and seen as close members to Jiang Fei. He was not going to sit idly by while his family members were getting killed!
“0541, prepare a squadron of bomber planes! I want these f*ckers to know who they are messing with!” He ordered. Knowing fully well what he was capable of, Jiang Fei had a change of mindset and perspective toward Earth and its occupants. From his point of view, if there was anything that he deemed wrong, he would make them right, by hook or by crook.
“Aye, captain!” 0541 replied. Even though he was inside Braveheart’s Data Management Center, he was still able to communicate with Jiang Fei via the ring.
After a few minutes, the skies above China suddenly made a loud crack. A large bright object was seen leaving a trail of dust as it entered the Earth’s atmosphere. As soon as it completed its atmospheric entrance, the shuttlecraft sent in by 0541 started to whirl loudly, the roaring of the engine deep and deafening. Another minute later, planes came close and started to hover approximately a thousand meters above ground level.
The rear hatch opened and countless unmanned Striker Drones were released. As soon as they entered a neat, square formation, Jiang Fei ordered, “Fire at will!”
Before the Mutants and Unknowns knew what was going on, the drones started to fly around at mach 5 speeds. The enemies were caught with their pants down. After a single wave of attack, the enemy’s formation was now a no-man-zone. Some of the drone attacks had even struck an underground water flow, causing many craters to be instantly filled with fresh water.
These drones were different from the ones Jiang Fei had the time he fought the American fighter jets. Since he had requested bomber planes and Namekian tech had nothing of such, 0541 quickly affixed powerful heavy artillery weapons onto these drones. These artillery cannons were not like normal energy cannons as their power output was stronger than a corvette ship.
“This… a little too much…” Jiang Fei gasped with both horror and excitement. He had only ordered bomber planes at the spur of the moment when he was slightly consumed with rage. From the looks of it, what 0541 had sent in were bomber ships, the kind that were meant to destroy spaceships and not regular ground infantry! It’s like using a flamethrower to light a candle.
Not surprisingly, the result was satisfactory. All the Mutants and Unknowns attacking Jiang Fei’s base were now ashes. They barely even had time to react, what more contacting the others to inform them about Jiang Fei’s superior weaponry.
“0541, if you’re done with the area here, find the other Unknowns and Mutants inside China and destroy them!” said Jiang Fei. He originally wanted to catch the Unknowns and “brainwash” them into becoming his own assets, but after he knew what they had done, the blood they had split, the lives of China citizen they had claimed, Jiang Fei did not want to keep them alive even if they were to willingly come to him on a bent knee.
“Aye, Captain,” 0541 replied. Braveheart was damaged but when it came to targeting a few individuals, it was nothing but a walk in the park.
