Chapter 380 Air Combat

Thirty nautical miles outside the Sabaody Archipelago.

Thousands of warships, more than ten floating islands, spread out over seven miles.

Nearly 400,000 Xuanwu Navy soldiers, after a carpet-like advance along the way, approached the Sabaody Archipelago.

At this moment, within the Sabaody Archipelago.

The Army Corps, long controlled by the World Government, along with some naval forces, stood ready.

Leading this military force was the supreme commander of the World Government's secret organization CP0, Gaoyuan Yuansong, a physical combat expert with S+ rank combat power.

Currently, before Gaoyuan Yuansong stood an instrument, a calculator.

And on the screen, the entire battle line was displayed.

Gaoyuan Yuansong looked at the warships deployed by the Xuanwu Navy, stretching nearly seven miles, with bombers from the floating islands providing support.

Whether this battle could be won, Gaoyuan Yuansong was unsure.

As someone who had always operated behind the scenes, this was his first time commanding such a large-scale battle.

"Marshal, all units are ready and prepared for battle. Please give your orders." A man in a gray uniform, with a cold expression, approached Gaoyuan Yuansong from behind and saluted.

Gaoyuan Yuansong scanned the big screen and said, "Wait for the Xuanwu Navy warships to get closer. Once they enter the bombing range, you may bomb freely. It is imperative to strike the morale of the Xuanwu Navy."

"Notify the G8 special operations team to await orders."

"Yes, Marshal." The man responded and immediately relayed the notification.

In just a moment, the World Government's various units received the notification, which was then passed down layer by layer.

Watching the Xuanwu Navy approaching, these soldiers wore cold expressions, as if showing no fear.

Xuanwu Navy camp.

"All's fair in war!"

"You deployed so much power along the coast, but in the end, it was nothing more than fragile paper."

Through satellites, Bai Qi had a thorough understanding of the World Government's military deployment, so he had long since formulated countermeasures.

"Nami, it's time to act. Let them feel the power of the sea."

On a warship, Nami, the "Sea Urchin," who was with the "Frost Archer" Ashe, smiled as she received Bai Qi's order.

"Notify everyone to control the warships."

Nami said to Ashe, then leaped into the sea.

Ashe, hearing this, immediately issued commands.

Beneath the sea.

Nami floated in the water, wielding her staff, her fishtail swaying in a regular, rhythmic manner.

The ocean currents began to change on the seabed, swirling around her staff.

Above the sea.

The soldiers on the warships could see the currents changing, and the warships began to sway.

They were somewhat accustomed to such occurrences.

Then, the anticipated scene unfolded.

Enormous waves, ten miles long and two to three hundred meters high, suddenly surged skyward.

Nami also emerged from the water, her staff sweeping forward.

These colossal waves immediately surged towards the Sabaody Archipelago.

Wave after wave, each stronger than the last.

These were no longer mere waves, but a continuous onslaught of tsunamis.

Gaoyuan Yuansong, stationed in the command center, looked at the approaching tsunamis with a grim expression.

"Seraphim squad, stop the tsunamis."

With a command, the Seraphim, spread out and ready, unleashed their powerful abilities, all directing their attacks towards the tsunamis, intending to confront the power of the sea with their individual strength.

There were quite a few Seraphim. Although they managed to cut through the tsunamis or detonate wave after wave of them with their abilities, the water was not stone.

A large volume of water still surged inland, impacting and battering the land.

This caused considerable damage to the World Government's military forces.

Bai Qi, watching the seawater flood into the World Government's ranks on the large screen, calmly tapped on several locations and sent out information, issuing commands at lightning speed: "Eagle Squad, listen up! Squads one, two, three, four, and five, take flight and bomb the enemy's artillery positions."

As Bai Qi finished speaking, the bomber squadrons, already on standby, immediately received their targets.

Then, five flight squadrons took off from the floating islands.

Each flight squadron consisted of ten bombers, each piloted by an ace pilot, representing the absolute top tier in skill.

Fifty bombers, with the whirring of propellers, roared across the sky.

The World Government's ranks also had countermeasures in place.

Individuals clad in leather armor, wielding spears or firearms, ascended rapidly and met the bombers.

Ace pilot Kuchi, spotting the approaching bird-men, excitedly shouted, "Three o'clock, enemy targets detected."

"They are bird-men with wings, brothers, let's give them some popcorn."

Kuchi's voice was transmitted through the communicator to Squad One.

The members of Squad One acknowledged receipt.

Then, they adjusted their course.

Brrrrt!

Dense volleys of bullets swept across the sky.

Gatling guns, special ammunition.

Before the enemy's attacks could reach them, a superior firepower covered the area.

The bird-men, some flying only halfway up, were mowed down by successive bursts of gunfire.

Watching the bird-men fall one by one, Gaoyuan Yuansong, in the command center, remained expressionless.

In war, there would always be sacrifices.

But there would also always be those who would break through powerful firepower to deliver a fatal blow to the enemy.

These bird-men were from certain tribes, quite common on the seas, possessing strong flight speed and endurance, and their individual strength was not to be underestimated.

Furthermore, most of them had mastered Observation Haki.

It was for this reason that they were recruited by the World Government and formed into an aerial combat force.

Brrrrt!

The bird-men, relying on their agile flight, dodged the incoming bullets and launched counterattacks with equal agility.

In addition to firearm counterattacks, some of the extremely fast individuals, armed with spears, closed in on the bombers, intending to damage them with their spears.

Brrrrt!

The V-shaped formation facilitated rapid attacks to assist teammates in distress when a bomber encountered danger.

Thus, the bird-men's attacks approached, ever closer, and then they fell, wave after wave.

Bai Qi, observing the aerial battle, calmly directed the bombers to continue their bombardment of the targets.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

From the ground, as the bombers approached, from hidden corners, shells shot out continuously like fireworks.

This was an effort to destroy the bombers and prevent them from destroying their artillery positions.

Boom, boom, boom!

Despite the fierce aerial dogfight, the Xuanwu Navy's flight squadrons were gradually gaining the upper hand.

And several targets had successively come under fire.

With more bombers joining the fray, reaching one hundred, the falling shells signaled that the aerial bombardment was just the beginning.
