Chapter 1415 - Mother-Son Soul Chasers
Dai Tianling clearly remembered the specification of the fixed soul ammunition that was launched earlier.
The fixed soul ammunition was named ‘Mother & Son Soul Chasers’.
It was not a rank-9 fixed soul ammunition. Based on the Tang Sect’s evaluation system, it was a rank-10 fixed soul ammunition. It was produced by using a specific method which bound two fixed soul ammunition bombs together.
The cluster of detonators would produce a powerful explosive force. The gush of explosive force was directed outward so as to cause damage. At the same time, it also acted as a protection for the inner destroyer inside. The core circuit of the destroyer submunition was capable of deflecting any destructive force from the world outside. It also functioned to destabilize its internal structure so as to magnify its explosive force. It possessed a penetrative force that far exceeded other ammunitions of the same rank.
Had the Mother & Son Soul Chaser landed directly on the battleship and not its barrier, the mothership would not have withstood the consecutive explosions. The bullet would have penetrated the hull into the ship’s inside to cause a huge explosion.
In order to produce such a soul ammunition, the precision of its core circuit had to be absolute. Otherwise, the subminition would fail to detonate when the cluster of detonators exploded. In this case, the desired result would not be accomplished.
The strength of its explosion was equal to two rank-9 fixed soul ammunition bombs. However, its impact did not follow the equation of one plus one equals two. Instead, it had an amplification and penetrative effect. The destructive force it produced far exceeded that of a rank-9 ammunition. It was actually not accurate to call it a rank-10 either because there were no specific energy measurements of a rank-10 and a rank-11 fixed soul ammunition in the Federation.
Undoubtedly, the Mother & Son Soul Chasers originated from the Tang Sect. Its soul technology was provided by the Tang Sect. Even Dai Tianling, the emperor, was unwilling to pay an exorbitant price for it.
However, the exorbitant price was worth its value at the moment as he watched the mothership DS Sea God being blasted away! The effect was truly impressive.
Had he not agreed with the Tang Sect, he would have launched another round immediately to completely destroy the mothership.
What a waste it was that he was not allowed to do so. The act of destroying a mothership would not change their inferior status in the war. He would instead be sowing a deadly enmity with the Federation. He understood that the Federation would never tolerate that kind of a loss. The Federation’s retaliation would result in the countless deaths of soldiers in the Star Luo Empire before the war could end.
He had four of the Mother & Son Soul Chasers, but he would rather not have to use these weapons.
In reality, a weapon’s deterrence was the most powerful defense, more so than the actual power of the weapon.
It took another dozen minutes for the mothership Sea God to be stabilized. Nevertheless, its sirens kept ringing as loud as ever.
“The soul power detection system is damaged, the heat detection system is damaged. The strength of the energy shield has dropped to thirty percent. Engaging in slow recovery now. Energy consumption is overloaded. The radar detection system is severely hampered. Seven fighter aircraft are damaged.”
A barrage of data reports were continuously reported with the sirens wailing in the background.
The battleship that collided with the mothership was severely damaged. Its left port was destroyed and required immediate repair. It was in danger of sinking. It did not turn on its protective shield in time when it was crushed by the mothership’s massive hull. The battleship belonged to Sea God Fleet. Had it been a battleship from the other two fleets, it would have sunk straightaway.
Not only was Chen Xinjie’s expression unpleasant, the military officers in the operations room had worse expressions on their faces. They were currently recovering from the thrashing movements of the ship just now.
How was that possible? How did the Star Luo Empire possess such powerful weapons?
The strength of the attack was stupendous for it delivered a massive blow to the mothership! It appeared that the damage was still within limits, but there was no way of telling if the opponent had more of such weapons?
The loud booming noise was still echoing on the surface of the sea. Both sides were in a momentary calm at present.
The Star Luo Empire did not state its stand. Meanwhile, the Federal Fleet had stopped advancing.
The cannon barrels were raised slowly in succession followed by the loading of the fixed soul ammunition bombs. and prepared for launch through the detection equipment. The Federal Fleet was in a preparatory mode as well.
The fixed soul ammunition that was about to be launched from the Star Luo Empire was incomparably huge. They were all dark red which appeared obvious on the detector screen.
How could the Federal Fleet not dread the incoming attack when they associated it to the explosive red light in midair earlier?
The biggest problem the Federal Fleet faced was they had no idea how many of those fixed soul ammunitions earlier were in the Star Luo Empire’s possession.
Another two consecutive attacks would result in the complete destruction of the mothership. The Federation would not be able to withstand a damage of this extent for sure.
The greatest advantage of the Federation was its three motherships. If the three motherships were destroyed, then they would lose their edge in this expedition.
Naturally, the combined firepower of these three motherships could destroy everything by the shore. However, they would risk being under a long range counterattack should they launch an attack at the opposing side.
The fixed-soul ammunition attack earlier was unexpected. It was launched from an attack range beyond the Federal Fleet’s assessment. For that reason, there was no immediate counterattack. However, it was a different situation at present. An attack now would result in a war with mutually destructive results.
Chen Xinjie was faced with a dilemma. What should he do now?
Based on the distance of the previous attack, the Federal Fleet had lost its vantage point. In the case of an all-out attack, the three great fleets might suffer severe losses even if they won.
“The Tang Sect!” These words were uttered from Chen Xinjie’s clenched teeth.
Undoubtedly, the Star Luo Empire did not possess an attack weapon of this caliber. There could only be one answer.
He could think of no one else who was capable of developing this in the Federation other than the Tang Sect. A fixed soul ammunition of such firepower could truly threaten the vulnerability of the mothership.
The purpose of Tang Sect’s Sect Master Tang Wulin’s personal visit to the Star Luo Empire and the Dou Spirit Empire was to deliver the weapons. The Tang Sect had betrayed the Federation by arming the enemy. This was treason!
Yet, the threat lay before him. Now, he would need to figure out how to fight the impending war.
“Fall back a hundred nautical miles!” Although he was filled with rage, as the commander in chief of the three armies, Chen Xinjie was relatively calm in issuing the commands. The current situation was already beyond him. He would need to contact the Federation and request for a decision from them. As it was, both sides could be mutually destroyed if they chose to confront each other. It was definitely not beneficial for the Federation at all.
“They’ve fallen back! Hahaha. The Federation army is scared.” As compared to the gloom over the Federal Fleet, the Star Luo Empire’s command was jubilant at present.
A fixed soul ammunition had forced back the entire Federal Fleet. Finally, their preliminary target was considered completed.
Dai Tianling was not cheering anymore. His gaze shimmered with in an ever changing mood. At the moment, his heart was filled with regret.
The Mother & Son Soul Chasers displayed its formidable force which reflected the strength of Tang Sect’s technology. It was not an exaggeration to say that if the Tang Sect supplied all these soul technologies to the Star Luo Empire, it would not be long before the Star Luo Empire caught up to the Federation.
The two continents were located far apart. The war between them could only be engaged with a fleet. The Star Luo Empire need not be afraid as long as the disparity between their technologies was not great. Moreover, with Tang Sect’s technology, the Star Luo Empire would be equipped with resources that surpassed the Federation. They could certainly triumph over the Federation in their quest for interplanetary exploration in the future!
