"Boom!"
A violent sonic boom thundered through the skies around the Black Shark Flying Boat.
Three more Thunder Eagles left this temporary fortress like great birds leaving their nest.
These fighters normally lay hidden within the Minor Grotto-Heaven contained inside the Black Shark Flying Boat. Over several days of frequent deployment, they had already flown more than a hundred sorties against Chess Mountain.
Invisible ripples rose and fell in the void as Heavenly Pivot monitored the information relayed by War Intelligence Heavenly Authority, as though linked to it by divine sense.
