The Astra Militarum was using the AGM-12 Bullpup on a trial basis. But many years had passed, and the development of technology had improved in all aspects of missile technology. The size was also reduced by a lot, and it was currently the smallest missile of the missile family. Any smaller would not make much sense, especially for the powerful Supernatural creatures.
When seeing the Astra Militarum use the missile weapon and couldn't eliminate the Black Flame Giant, in the area of the competition venue, Leonard's group was relieved. They came mainly to watch the Crown Prince's match, but also to monitor Sebastian's match.
"The weapon Sebastian's pilot awakened is really powerful. No wonder he was able to easily defeat the Immortal College." A teacher said with a smile.
"It's a pity." Neville smiled gently and said, "If we had given some more time, he might have been able to fight them."
"But it's already too late in time." Glen said, "Even if Sebastian is talented, the Competition won't wait for him. It's better to obediently accept fate."
"There's no need to care much about him." Leonard waved his hand, unconcerned, "Now keep your eyes on the Crown Prince and cheer him up."
"The Crown Prince is number one in the group stage and a top fifty in total points; there's no one in this group that can pose a threat to him." Neville showed a smile and said, "Qualifying is easy, I'd rather see what kind of expression Sebastian will have after he is eliminated?"
Unfortunately, Neville and others couldn't see. After seeing that, the AGM-12 Bullpup was not enough to kill the Black Flame Giant, so the more powerful missiles, the AGM-62 Walleye, were used.
This was also an air-to-ground missile, and its size was bigger. To be precise, it was an Armor-Piercing Missile, specially made to deal with powerful Supernatural creatures. At the tip of the missile, there was a special armor-piercing device.
Compared to the conventional missile, this armor-piercing missile could break through the defense of a Supernatural creature first and carry out the explosion. The power had not increased, but the lethality had greatly increased.
But before that, the first target of the Astra Militarum was not a Black Flame Giant, but the Thorny Lady and its mount. Although the speed of this mount was not very fast, it could unleash powerful wind, greatly reducing the power of the Machine Gun.
"Attack the Thorny Lady and its mount first. No need to destroy them, just scare them off." Lando commanded.
The fighter pilots, who were instructed to do so, released small missiles; these were not the air-to-ground missiles from before. Although the specifications were similar, it was an air-to-air missile called the AIM-4 Falcon. Its speed was much faster than air-to-ground missiles, and the intended target was the objects in the air.
Only 30 aircraft carried these air-to-air missiles. Because the majority of the contestants within this group were mainly ground species, they only prepared a part of the air-to-air missiles. The purpose was deterrence-based.
Underneath the fighters, the missile revealed its not-so-large size.
WHOOSH-WHOOSH-WHOOSH...
A thunderous volley erupts as thirty missiles roar off their launchers in perfect unison, streaking through the sky like a deadly swarm of fireflies.
ZIIIIIIIIING!, ZIIIIING!, ZIIIIIIIIING...
Each missile screams with fiery tails, carving blazing trails against the blue.
The air vibrates with a relentless, mechanical roar,
FSSSSHHH-FSSSSHHH-FSSSSHHH...
A chorus of rocket motors burning hot and fast.
"Here we go again..." Seeing that the Astra Militarum had targeted her, Laura frowned slightly. Then she commanded her unit, "Destroy those things."
The AIM-4 Falcon was affected by the gale, but it was not the HEIAP round. After passing through the wind created, its speed was not affected too much, only slightly slowed down a little, and then it continued to speed up again.
"What the..." Laura was astonished. How could this thing be able to fly and still be able to increase its speed?
"Spread out and prepare to shoot those things down," Laura shouted. Laura was experienced, so there was not the slightest panic, and she instantly reacted.
The Thorny Lady on top of the mount was ready to be covered with spikes that could strike at any time. The mounts were flying apart and prepared to avoid the direction of the missile. One flow downward, but the AIM-4 Falcon was following close behind, even if the target turned.
"What..." The well-informed Laura was surprised.
"This is the enchanted arrow?" Laura immediately remembered the Siren Clan's enchanted arrows.
It was the ability to automatically track the enemy's traces, but the size of the enchanted arrow wasn't this big, and the speed was not so fast. The mount could not even dodge, and when it wanted to turn to the left to dodge again, the AIM-4 Falcon had caught up. The AIM-4 Falcon didn't have that special armor-piercing device added like the AGM-62 Walleye, but the air creature's defense was a big weakness.
The missile hit the mount straight on. Under that high speed, there was a tremendous impact. It made the mount feel like it was being crushed over by a boulder. Immediately after, there was a loud sound. It was like lighting a huge firework.
The ground teams that were moving below couldn't help but stop in their tracks and look into the air. The missile that hit blew the mount apart, causing flesh and blood to fly everywhere. Even the Thorny Lady on top was not much better; it also turned into a piece of debris.
The remaining AIM-4 Falcons were also in place almost simultaneously. None of them missed as they hit their respective targets. Even though the targets were scattering and fleeing, they were still caught by the missiles.
Explosions bloom in rapid succession:
KRAK-BOOM! KRAK-BOOM! KRAK-BOOM...
Shards of smoke and flame erupt as the missiles tear into their targets.
The sky fills with ringing echoes, a violent symphony of destruction cascading across the horizon as explosions, almost in unison, sound.
For Laura, her whole body was shaking as she watched it all in disbelief. She knew very well about the Siren's enchanted arrow. Although both could track the enemy, the enchanted arrow did not have such great power as this thing. Just for a split second, it annihilated her unit; not even a complete part was left.
Laura couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart.
"Escape!" Still with her remaining sanity, she quickly issued this order.
Even though there were still many in the air but in front of this terrifying weapon, it was of little use. If you encounter it, you will be blown away, so they immediately obey the command and fly backward.
"Murray, how is this thing able to track my unit so accurately in the air?" After waiting until her unit was safe, Laura immediately asked.
The power of the AGM-12 Bullpup in the attack on the Black Flame Giant, because of the flame, wasn't shown very clearly. Laura made a mistake in her judgment, as the AIM-4 Falcon was also dismissive.
Thinking about it, the creature she built was very fast, and it should be able to easily avoid these attacks in the air. Only the AIM-4 Falcon was like the enchanted arrow, and even better in terms of tracking ability.
"I didn't expect that either." Murray frowned, and he was angry. Who would have thought that there was a Supernatural species that could create such a fast and powerful tracking weapon?
Siren's enchanted arrow, although it could track, its power was a lot less. Other weapons were powerful, but there was no tracking ability. But this thing combined all the advantages into one and would be the best in every aspect. No one would have imagined this.
"Damn it! He tricked me." Laura said bitterly. At the same time, she was a bit helpless. Even if she knew the tracking ability of the missile in advance, what could she do? She still couldn't make any effective prevention.
"Laura, your team should take shelter first." At this time, Hess spoke up: "This Sebastian, let me and Murray take care of him!"
"Alright!" Laura said with both anger and anticipation, "Let him have a good taste of the iron fist of your army, and ruthlessly finish them off."
"Murray, follow me." Hess commanded, "Quickly force inside the opponent's position! Don't give him a chance."
"No problem." Murray also held his breath.
It was a situation where the five people ranked in the top twenty joined forces, and they were surprised by a freshman, has made them feel very humiliated. Both of them were experienced. At a glance, they could see that both the musketeers on the ground and the pilots in the sky were long-range attackers, so they must be weak in close combat.
"Flame Giant, give me all your strength to charge over!" Murray bellowed the order.
Above the ground, another piece of violent trembling sound rang out. Flame Giants were charging towards the Astra Militarum, with the Black Flame Giants on the left.
UAVs and Machine Guns were continuously bombarding, but the army of giants kept the previous tactics. Wait until the flame of the giant in front of them diminishes and let it retreat immediately, allowing the giants in the back to stand in front.
"The Black Flame Giant is worthy of being one of the top ten among the giants. Whether it's a single or a group, it's a powerful existence." Sebastian narrowed his eyes slightly and stare down at the army of giants.
The most dominant gaze was placed on the Black Flame Giant. It was stronger than the Flame Giants and not just a little bit stronger. The rain of bullets could only slow them down, not to mention kill. Occasionally, one or two shells were breaking into the body of the giant, but it was irrelevant. This was the most powerful Supernatural race that the Astra Militarum had encountered so far.
"Hess has something to offer, creating a race of giants that is so threatening."
"Top 100 overall ranking, naturally, he is not simple. Just look at the footsteps of those giants when they move, they must have been trained for a long time, to advance and retreat in an orderly manner!"
"The freshman is not bad. That weapon can make the Thorny Lady fear; that's something. No wonder he can qualify from the group stage."
"But there's not much killing power against the Black Flame Giant, as you can see from the effect just now."
"This Sebastian is unlucky. If Hess and the others did not target him, even if he ran into other contestants teaming up, he could probably last a long time."
In the audience seats, chattering sounds rang out. Everyone's eyes, at this moment, converged on the two giant armies and the Astra Militarum.
Within the venue, the other teams also stopped fighting each other, and eyes turned to this side, waiting for the result of the battle here.
Clifford's group was tense, and hands were tightly clenched. They almost did not dare to look.
"All planes get ready to launch the AGM-62 Walleye," Lando commanded with slightly narrowed eyes.
The AGM-12 Bullpup had some effect after hitting the Black Flame Giant. According to the quick calculations of the scientist team on the spot, the approximate defense strength of the Flame Giant was estimated. The flame was their most powerful weapon, as it could dissolve the effect of energy.
But the amount the flame dissolved was also limited. According to the estimates of the team of scientists, the AGM-12 Bullpup could still seriously injure, so there would be no need to use the larger missiles. The AGM-62 Walleye is enough to deal with these giants, with its specially designed armor-piercing tech.
"All AGM-62 Walleye are to target the army of Black Inferno Giants on the left." Lando's voice became cold and serious: "If it's not enough, continue to fire until they retreat. For the other weapon, just use it to defend against the Flame Giant in the middle."
The result of the discussion between Lando and Coleman was to use the AGM-62 Walleye on the army of Black Flame Giants first and eliminate them to act as a deterrent.
At this moment, Hess, who was confident and was preparing to give the Astra Militarum a good show, as well as the hundreds of millions of spectators watching the battle, would meet an unexpected situation where the Astra Militarum had such a weapon.
