Chapter 58 Suicide Attack, the Lizardmen's Ultimate Method
Chapter 58 Suicide Attack, the Lizardmen's Ultimate Method
Inside the underwater base, as multiple depth charges landed nearby, the shockwaves from the explosions, carrying water currents, slammed violently against the surrounding dome.
The shaking of the base also awakened the sleeping aliens.
Stepping out of the sedation chamber, he was somewhat bewildered as he looked around at the constantly shaking room.
What's going on? I only slept for a while, how come I feel like there's a big problem? Have these lizardmen gone berserk again?
Stepping out of the room where they had been sleeping, they soon met the lizardmen's current commander.
"What's going on?"
"Master, the top forces on this planet have discovered our location and are besieging us."
"What? Why did it take you so long to wake me up about something this big?"
"Master, I activated the awakening program the moment I discovered the problem, but the opponent's attack speed was too fast, and they were well prepared, as if they knew we were here."
"Damn it, ever since the deep space communication satellite was destroyed, we've completely lost contact with the advance fleet. Now these guys have discovered this place again. It seems we'll have to rely on ourselves all the time. Luckily, I had a backup plan and prepared a powerful weapon."
"Go, issue the final order: mobilize all combat personnel, regardless of cost, and destroy some of the surrounding ships to buy time. The activation of the ultimate weapon takes time."
"Yes, Master."
After their master arrived, it was as if they had found a pillar of support. Not only was his morale greatly boosted, but even the lizardmen on the battlefield became excited.
As the main force fighting against the lizardmen, the University of Tokyo and the United States have also sensed the changes in these lizardmen.
"Damn it, what's wrong with these lizardmen? Why have they suddenly become so fearless? Is there any news from Dongda University?"
"No, sir. The University of Tokyo has also reported this situation and asked if we have any new discoveries."
"What about the notebook over there?"
"No, they've also asked us for help. The lizardmen's offensive has intensified, and they're starting to struggle."
"Damn it, make them hold the line. The encirclement cannot be broken. No trace of the lizardmen has been found in any other ocean, only here. This means this is their lair. Destroying this place will definitely yield a lot of technological data, which can completely stabilize the situation at home. Pass the word down and have everyone increase their attack intensity. No one is allowed to retreat even a step."
"Yes, sir."
With the new orders issued, the Japanese were secretly groaning. Their own 88 Fleet sounded powerful, but it was struggling to cope with the lizardmen's frenzied attacks.
However, a new discovery has been made at the University of Tokyo.
"Sir, the Nanchang ship reports that a high-energy reaction has been detected on the seabed, suspected to be a large warship."
How big is it?
"It is about 300 meters long and 50 meters wide."
"Wow, that's huge, comparable to an aircraft carrier. Lock onto its position immediately and launch an attack. We can't let it reach the surface."
"Commander, we can't attack that side. All the lizardmen have gone mad. They're swarming out in droves, using suicide attacks, regardless of casualties."
"That crazy? Is it like this over on the US side too?"
"Yes, and after scanning, it can be confirmed that the number on the other side of the notebook is much larger, and they are about to be overwhelmed."
"Damn it, these little devils. Notify the Rocket Force to prepare. Also, inform headquarters about the situation here."
"Yes, sir."
Soon, the news reached the military headquarters of Dongda University.
"Prime Minister, according to news from the front lines, the lizardmen have very likely activated their ultimate weapon."
"The ultimate weapon? A mushroom egg?"
"No, it should be a type of large combat equipment."
"How's Plan 3 going?"
"Everything is ready and we can deploy at any time."
"That's good. Order them to stand by and be ready to move out at any time. This opportunity is excellent, and it's time for us to complete our revival."
"Yes, Grand Secretary!"
After receiving the order, the University of Tokyo also took active precautions.
In the Pacific theater, within the defensive line under the command of the Japanese, the Japanese side was also caught in a crisis due to the massive, relentless attacks of the lizardmen.
"Captain, a farewell message has arrived from the destroyer Tai Ren. Their ship's hull has been destroyed by the lizardmen, and they are beyond rescue."
"Captain, the Murasame has also sent a farewell message; they are in the same situation."
"Baka! What did the US say?"
"Sir, the Americans told us to hold on. They'll come to our aid once they've eliminated the lizardmen over there."
"Baka! By the time they get here, we'll all be dead!"
"Immediately notify the back home; we need tactical guidance and we need to regroup."
"Yes, sir."
However, after the communication, everyone on the bridge felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave.
"Sir, news from headquarters is that we must hold on and not retreat a single step. The US is taking a very tough stance, and headquarters can't hold on any longer."
"Baka! Everyone at headquarters should come and see this. We can't possibly withstand this battle. They should all be sent to the battlefield and die a horrible death."
An angry roar echoed in the bridge, and everyone present kept their eyes down, remaining silent.
They knew their superior's personality, and they were furious about the orders from headquarters, which were clearly meant to send them to their deaths.
In reality, for Japan, even if the Eighth Fleet were lost, there would be nothing they could do except feel a little heartache.
Lacking autonomy and sovereignty, they can only obey the orders of the US.
Fortunately, the domestic manufacturing industry is still intact, and the US has said it will provide compensation, so even if the Eighth Fleet is lost, it can be rebuilt in a short time.
Meanwhile, deep within the underwater base, the aliens behind the lizardmen led a group of lizardmen to an even deeper location.
This is a huge space, which appears to be a natural cavity, but there are traces of excavation around it, making the space much larger.
"Master, is this the legendary interstellar warship?"
"That's right, it's just a frigate. This is the ultimate weapon that has been under construction for some time now, just to have a way out. It was originally just a precaution, but I didn't expect it to actually come in handy."
"Order the troops to enter this area. We are preparing to leave. The civilization on this planet does not have the ability to travel between stars. We only need to go to outer space, and they will be unable to do anything to us."
"Master, it seems our deep-space satellite was destroyed in outer space."
"It's alright, the frigate has defensive capabilities, so there's no need to worry about the enemy's missiles."
"Everyone, get into position quickly, we're ready to go."
"Yes, Master."
Soon, all the lizardmen present entered the frigate.
Upon arriving at the bridge, all the operators inside were already ready.
"How's the preparation going?"
"Master, we are all ready. The frigate has completed its self-check and is ready to take off at any time."
"Alright, let's take off then. Open the passage and get out of here."
"Yes, Master!"
"Start the engine and open the roof panel."
"Engine started, top panel open, engine control ready, release control panel."
"Control panel unlocked, top panel opened, ready for takeoff."
"Engine power applied, initiating liftoff."
"Splash!"
As the frigate broke through the seawater, it created a great commotion underwater, which immediately attracted the attention of the United States.
"Sir, the sonar has detected a large object rising rapidly from the seabed."
"Giant? Can you be sure what it is?"
"Unable to lock on, the other party is about to come out."
"Splash!"
As the sea level was raised, the massive ship appeared in the next moment, quickly flying into the air and hovering.
"What...what is this thing?"
At this moment, the fleet commander of the US fleet was also very shocked when he looked at what was in the sky.
The students from the University of Tokyo also noticed the situation. Upon seeing the escort ships in the sky, their expressions changed drastically, and they immediately reported the situation.
"Captain, we have received a message from the military instructing us to retreat and leave this area."
"Understood. Immediately order all warships to turn around and retreat swiftly."
The US also received the news and, seeing the retreat of the University of Tokyo's fleet, their expression changed, and they immediately fled, leaving only the Japanese fleet with four or five warships behind.
Both the University of Tokyo and the United States tacitly withdrew without notifying the US.
After the lizardmen had taken control of the escort ships, they discovered that the two most powerful fleets had already gone far away, leaving only a handful of ships behind.
"Hmph, you got away fast. Since that's the case, I'll let you go for now. Open fire and take out the rest of you."
"Yes, Master."
"boom!"
As the escort ships opened fire, the still-shocked Eight-Eight Fleet was instantly annihilated.
Upon seeing such powerful firepower, both the University of Tokyo and the United States, who were watching from a distance, changed their expressions.
The US is also preparing to test the waters.
"Notify the homeland that the war has escalated. Order the missile frigates to launch a salvo of missiles to probe the enemy, and we will retreat first."
"Yes, sir."
"Whoosh!"
"boom!"
A swarm of missiles was launched and soon struck the frigate.
The smoke and dust from the explosion enveloped the frigate, and everyone watched the scene with tension.
A gust of wind blew by, dispersing the smoke and dust, revealing the escort ships inside.
On screen, the frigate was still intact, with a layer of electric arcs constantly flashing around it.
"Electromagnetic shields, I didn't expect the aliens to have them too."
The University of Tokyo quickly realized why the destroyer was intact; Project 3 had used this technology, indicating that the war had escalated.
Moreover, the University of Tokyo was well aware that this frigate absolutely could not be let go, otherwise there would be endless troubles.
"Let's communicate with the Star Group and ask their frigate to temporarily guard the outer space of Blue Star. We need this frigate to test the products of Project 3."
"Yes, Grand Secretary!"
