Missiles ascended one after another, rapidly tearing through the air toward the horizon ahead.
At the same time, the main guns on each warship had also begun bombardment.
Accompanied by orange light shining, shells carried by almost orange-colored tail lights streaked across the sky, which might be mistaken for laser shots.
Teletha knew why they looked like beam shots; it was because the shells' speed was so fast that they created high temperature and heat from air friction or ignition.
Just like meteors, when approaching Earth, they are attracted by Earth's gravity, producing light traces due to electron transitions as they pass through Earth's atmosphere at high speed.
Besides gunpowder-based artillery fire, Teletha also noticed electromagnetic cannon attacks, which looked more like large beam strikes.
Then, aircraft and the like took off one by one.
The livestream view was centered on the woman named A2, with a God's-eye perspective, so it was impossible not to know what Miss A2 was doing.
She had also boarded a fighter, the transformable fighter seen that day.
Not just Miss A2, but also that Mr. Golden Toilet, who was also piloting one, and on the other side, the female android named 2B was also piloting one.
As the three took off, ten more fighters followed behind, looking like a formation.
Yes, it was indeed a formation, as other fighter formations could also be seen.
From this viewpoint, there were ten observable fighter formations, meaning at least over a hundred were engaged in the war.
Besides the type of fighter A2 and others were using, there were also other types of aircraft, some similar to bombers, and more miniature fighter clusters—these should be drones.
So, what exactly had happened?
What suddenly caused such a large-scale war?
Most likely, Mr. Golden, who knew some future plot developments of this world, had disclosed some major intelligence, causing the androids to launch a large-scale operation to avoid unfavorable situations.
The enemy was obviously the machine lifeforms.
This war between human-created androids and alien-created machine lifeforms was truly intriguing.
Suddenly, flashes of fireballs erupted along the horizon, indicating the battle had begun.
Simultaneously, numerous dense dots could be seen ahead, either the enemy's missiles or flying-type machine lifeforms.
At the same time, beam-like attacks came over, the enemy's artillery fire.
So, from A2's perspective, who hadn't flown too far, huge water columns raised by artillery fire behind her on the sea surface could be seen.
Soon, those dense dots became visible, and most were indeed flying-type machine lifeforms.
Looking out, they were so densely packed that it could trigger trypophobia.
"What kind of flight propulsion system is this?"
Teletha was curious about the power of flying-type machine organisms, with such flexibility, somewhat like fish swimming in the sea—could it be anti-gravity technology?
However, she didn't continue this line of thought, as she was attracted by the battle scene that had instantly escalated to white-hot intensity.
The machine lifeforms instantly released dense lasers and numerous energy balls, and the fighters, fewer in number, would die faster if they tried to hard-counter with ammunition.
Therefore, the android side, apart from necessary interception requiring ammunition countermeasures, was almost walking a tightrope, shuttling through the dense barrage.
When they surged into the machine lifeform group, their weapon systems began to unleash.
In the blink of an eye, a large expanse of fireworks flickered in the sky.
"If just the power displayed like this were to appear on our side..."
Teletha suddenly thought about how disastrous it would be on her side, how long they could hold out.
It could be said that perhaps the combined forces of all countries on her side wouldn't be a match for the military operational power demonstrated by either side in the current war.
Of course, if her side employed some black technology power, if they used nuclear weapons, it seemed like mutual destruction would be possible.
After all, from what she could see, the technological level of androids and machine lifeforms wasn't so outrageous that they could casually deploy defensive shields.
Of course, Teletha didn't believe that the android or machine lifeform side didn't have some super weapons.
...
"Units 4, 7, and 11 have been shot down, remaining units implement Plan C formation."
A female voice sounded from the support robot in 2B's fighter; it was her operator 6O.
Based on the current battlefield situation data from her side, support was provided.
The so-called Plan C formation was the remaining fighters in her team regrouping into a formation, backing against each other, not exposing their backs to enemy fire.
In this way, everyone provided mutual fire support, striking at flying-type machine lifeforms from all directions.
Currently, the crashed aircraft were all piloted by non-YoRHa androids, and the aircraft themselves weren't YoRHa exclusive, but outdated models.
It could be said that in the current battlefield, only she, Mr. Ejie, and A2 were piloting YoRHa fighters.
At the same time, the only YoRHa androids accompanying Mr. Ejie were her and A2.
As for why more YoRHa androids and advanced fighters weren't coming here for support, they naturally had important missions.
However, Commander White had actually hoped for more YoRHa units to come here to protect him, and most of the YoRHa androids who now knew the truth also wished to come protect him.
But after calculations, to take the area targeted for attack, it was best for YoRHa forces to be deployed there, rather than coming to protect him.
So, Mr. Ejie had refused their protection.
At the beginning of entering the battlefield, 2B was very nervous about him, but in reality, his operational skills weren't inferior to hers.
It seemed that her and A2's protection was redundant.
Moreover, as Mr. Ejie increasingly showed himself to be in his element, the number of his takedowns was rapidly rising, and he would likely soon surpass them.
Perhaps, eventually, they would be the ones being protected.
In the blink of an eye, when a huge gap was torn in the aerial defense network formed by the dense flying-type machine lifeforms—
"The sea 'Fireworks' operation has begun, all units please provide escort and be careful not to be affected by the blooming fireworks."
The 'Fireworks' operation?
2B saw through the screen that the camouflaged special vessels behind the fleet had removed their stealth and released large missiles.
She then looked up toward the sky above the inland area less than ten kilometers from the coastline, where flashing points had begun to appear.
The orbital 'Fireworks' operation had also begun.
The 'Fireworks' deployment had started!
