The Battle of Shengen Island!
Chapter 1692 The Battle of Shengen Island!
Ruciano Brandelli.
One of the Knights of the Round Table of the Holy Britannian Empire, he is also known as the Imperial Vampire.
He was bloodthirsty by nature and loved killing.
Originally, according to Luciano's idea, Emperor Charles, to whom he served, should have sent him to Area 11 to assist Clovis in resisting the Earth Federation Forces' attack.
Before he could set off, Charles ordered him to go to this deserted island in the western Pacific Ocean to carry out the tedious evacuation mission.
They were just some boring people evacuating research facilities and researchers, yet he, a Knight of the Round Table of the Empire, was put in charge.
Ruciano couldn't understand it, and didn't want to understand it.
All he wanted was to commit more killings.
Now, their hopes of fighting the Earth Federation Forces have been dashed.
So, the Tenth Knight of the Round Table, who loved killing, had to find some fun.
For example, urge those strange-looking researchers, who are shrouded in odd robes, to evacuate.
"Sir Brandley! Evacuation preparations are complete! The evacuation is expected to take about three hours! Also, our personnel who were lurking in the capital of District 11 have not been reported; they are probably in grave danger."
Just as Luciano was searching for his target, a messenger approached and respectfully reported.
"What? Three hours? Is that so slow?"
Ruciano was initially surprised by the length of the evacuation, before noticing the news that the infiltrators seemed to have lost contact.
"Has this been confirmed? There aren't only our people in the capital of District 11. Could it be that even His Highness the Third Prince's men have gone missing?"
"Yes! We also tried to contact His Highness Clovis's intelligence personnel using the Empire's encrypted channels, but unfortunately, we did not receive any news."
"So weird?"
Luciano frowned, a sense of unease rising within him.
No matter how powerful the Earth Federation Forces are, it's impossible for them to wipe out the Empire's intelligence network in the first active city cluster in Area 11 in a short time.
Moreover, that emperor is not someone to be trifled with.
This strange situation made Ruciano increasingly uneasy.
"Order! Put the fleet on Level Two alert, cancel all rest days, and all personnel to enter combat duty status!"
"Yes! Long live Britannia!"
Unexpectedly, before the messenger had gone far, a sharp whistling sound came from the sky.
Ruciano's expression changed, and he suddenly looked up.
A flying object he had never seen before, with a triangular front and what appeared to be a propulsion unit at the rear, sped across the sky and flew straight toward the fleet anchored in the waters east of Kage Island.
In that instant, Ruciano's expression changed drastically, and he roared angrily.
"All personnel engage in aerial combat!! Everyone, take cover immediately!!"
With a series of angry roars, Rugiano ran toward his RZA-10JS Percival.
(RZA-10JS Percival)
Even though he was bloodthirsty and loved killing, it didn't mean his mind was full of blood. When he saw that lone, yet audacious, aircraft flying towards his fleet, he knew that there must be other enemies lurking in the shadows, waiting for them to fall into chaos before rushing out to slaughter them.
Ruciano is quite familiar with this style of play.
After all, he had used similar tactics more than once in many past battles.
Because he thoroughly enjoyed seeing the fear on his enemies' faces as they crumbled. In his eyes, that was the most wonderful treasure in the world.
"Come on! Let me see who is lying in ambush among the Knights of the Round Table of the Empire!"
The answer is already clear.
However, what Luciano wanted was for his enemies to kneel before him, admit their identities, beg for mercy, and ultimately be tortured to death by him.
Above the sky, Gaplan, pushing his speed to Mach 8, is rushing into the optimal attack route.
"6000 meters away! Imminent contact!"
Faced with high G-forces that would be difficult for ordinary pilots to withstand, Rosamdia completed all the operations with just a slight frown.
Her speed of up to Mach 8 will be her main asset in the first round of direct attack on the Gaplan fleet.
At such high speeds, neither the human eye nor machinery could detect Gaplan's flight path.
Even if the fleet could react in time, such a high speed would make it impossible to aim or even intercept.
In the blink of an eye, just as the fleet's alarms sounded, Gaplan had already swept over the fleet, leaving the Imperial sailors, who were wearing life jackets and rushing nervously to their anti-aircraft posts, looking on in astonishment.
Before the sailors could react, the supersonic winds and sonic booms generated by the supersonic flight swept across the entire fleet.
Although the large warships were not greatly affected, the sailors standing on the decks suffered greatly.
Not only were they blown about by the strong wind, but they were also made dizzy and uncomfortable by the sonic boom. Some vomited incessantly while leaning on the railing, and some even had blood trickling from their ears and eyes.
And that's not all!
On the aircraft carrier of this fleet, the sailors who had finally managed to get up suddenly saw a dark shadow fall from the sky and smash a large hole in the deck.
Amidst the ear-piercing explosion, sailors a little further away saw what appeared to be a flash of light on the dark figure that had smashed a large hole in the deck.
"Oh no!! It's a bomb!!!"
"Run!"
Before the screams had even subsided, a massive fireball soared into the air, exploding into a dazzling display of fireworks in the central area of the fleet.
Such a startling commotion took Luciano, who was guarding the island, by surprise.
"What?! This bunch of useless trash?! They can't even stop a single mech?"
Seemingly in response to Ruciano's curses, the unfortunate aircraft carrier suddenly unleashed a second wave of explosions.
Thick smoke billowed up, followed by a series of explosions.
Whether it was Ruciano or the rest of the fleet, their hearts sank when they saw this scene.
Clearly, this unfortunate aircraft carrier not only had a large hole smashed into it, but its ammunition depot was also detonated.
"How...how unlucky!!"
Ruciano stared in disbelief as the aircraft carrier, its deck engulfed in flames and swaying amidst explosions, began to teeter on the brink of capsizing.
How could a behemoth weighing tens of thousands of tons be destroyed by a mere machine?
How can this be! ! !
In the waters west of Sagano Island, after using the large booster as a missile to deliver a powerful blow to the enemy aircraft carrier and successfully reducing its speed, Gaplan re-entered the attack route and sent a message to the eager Amro and Hassawi.
"Captain Amuro, Lieutenant Mafty. Enemy carrier is out of combat capability. Operation commence!"
