Chapter 1 Unstoppable Onslaught

When the first missile struck the cargo ship, triggering a violent explosion, the torrential bombardment became relentless.

The White Swan bomber is one of the most advanced stealth aircraft in Russia, and in the world. Its counterpart is the EU's B2 fighter jet. Its range and speed are world-class, but even more significant is its terrifying firepower.

It can carry 45 tons of ammunition at once, and even launch long-range cruise missiles carrying nuclear weapons, making it a veritable airborne fortress.

It was once estimated that a single White Swan fighter jet, with air supremacy, could inflict devastating damage on a small city, a small fleet, or an army regiment. And now, five of these terrifying airborne monsters were raining down ammunition on Li Tianran...

Even with the powerful vitality of an evolver, it was questionable whether one could survive such terrifying firepower!

"Da da da!"

"Whoosh whoosh!"

The anti-aircraft guns on Li Tianran's fleet activated, sending a barrage of shells into the sky.

Seeing this, the White Swan bombers began to evade rapidly, ascending to high altitudes, soon exceeding ten thousand meters.

The purpose of these anti-aircraft shells was not to shoot down the White Swan bombers, because the bombers were flying too fast, and at altitudes exceeding ten thousand meters, the accuracy of anti-aircraft guns was very low, making it unlikely to hit the enemy aircraft!

The main purpose of these shells was to create a dense network of fire in the air, blocking the bombs and missiles launched by the enemy aircraft!

High in the sky, shells collided continuously, erupting in deafening explosions.

The sound of explosions filled the entire sea!

Countless small mushroom clouds, swirling with fire, rose into the sky, and fragments of shattered missiles rained down into the sea.

Although most of the missiles were destroyed by anti-aircraft fire, some still slipped through and struck Li Tianran's warships. Flames erupted, and the unfortified hulls were instantly shattered, sending shards of steel flying.

The Bullet Ant warship was sunk!

Another missile struck; the Hornet warship… was sunk!

In just thirty seconds, the hulls of two warships were shattered, turning into scrap metal and sinking to the bottom of the sea, just like the fleets Li Tianran had sunk earlier.

Li Tianran had spent a great deal of effort and resources to build these warships to their current state.

And destroying them only took a few seconds.

…

Although the fleet was in a dire state, it was still much better off than the defenseless cargo ship.

As the primary target, the cargo ship was struck by the first missile, which created a large hole in its hull, causing seawater to flood in. In the following seconds, it was struck by over fifty more missiles, and the entire ship instantly became a huge fireball, burning fiercely on the sea.

Buzz!

The five White Swan bombers circled high above.

"Primary target has been destroyed…" Pilot Number One said emotionlessly over the intercom. "Prepare to track down and eliminate the remaining enemy warships!"

"Truly a battle without suspense."

A mocking reply came from a comrade over the intercom system.

Pilot Number One smiled.

In today's world, Russia's military strength has been proven countless times. Even the strongest EU does not dare to confront them head-on. With absolute air supremacy, wiping out a "pirate" fleet was no challenge at all.

"Their firepower is already running low. Launch x-55 cruise missiles to finish them off and go back to sleep…" Pilot Number One said contemptuously, flipping a lever to his right and slowly pressing it down.

After Li Tianran's modifications, the warships' firepower was indeed fierce, but they had already sunk a fleet and consumed a large amount of ammunition to form the defensive fire network, leaving their reserves depleted.

A small warship is still a small warship. Even if it is modified to the limit, the problem of limited ammunition storage cannot be solved.

At this time, the originally dense fire defense line fired by Li Tianran's fleet had thinned out considerably, unable to form an effective defense against the White Swan bombers' offensive.

Once the x-55 cruise missiles were launched, they would resolve everything.

But at that moment, the pilots of the five White Swan bombers saw a stunning scene on their radar equipment.

On the precise radar detection screen, the red dots representing Li Tianran's warships were disappearing one by one!

And, importantly, they hadn't even launched an attack yet!

This bizarre scene caught the attention of the five pilots.

Was the radar malfunctioning? Or was there some new situation with the fleet below?

In the eyes of these pilots, whether or not the warships below could be annihilated was not important at all!

What was important was whether this pirate force possessed a counter-detection system targeting the White Swan radar!

The White Swan fighter jet is world-class in both reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance technology. It is the product of countless Russian weapons scientists. Russia is confident that, at least for the next twenty years, the technology of the White Swan bomber will not be analyzed and countered!

But now, such a bizarre scene had appeared, causing these pilots to have strong suspicions in addition to their confusion.

If this fleet below really had radar technology to counter the White Swan bomber, that would be the most important matter!

At an altitude of nearly ten thousand meters, the pilots could not observe the real situation on the sea. After thinking for less than three seconds, the five pilots made a unanimous decision: stop firing, lower the altitude, and check what state the fleet on the sea was in!

Buzz!

The pure white bombers swooped down. Soon, the pilots in the cockpit saw the situation on the sea.

And the situation on the sea made the pilots even more stunned.

The sea where the warships had been lined up was now very clean. Except for the wreckage of the two warships that had been destroyed and the cargo ship that was still burning fiercely, the other warships had disappeared from the sea as if they had evaporated!

"..." The pilots looked at this scene, their minds momentarily unable to process it.

They were truly bewildered now.

If these warships had anti-reconnaissance radar technology, although they found it difficult to accept, it was still somewhat understandable. But for such a large fleet to all disappear into thin air in a matter of seconds, it was beyond human comprehension!

The five White Swan fighter jets patrolled this sea area for half an hour, circling around a hundred times, and finally concluded that the fleet might have been attacked by some large beast king lurking under the sea during the battle, and forcibly dragged into the seabed...
