Bzz—bzz—bzz—
Purple flashes swept across the sky like a torrential downpour, accompanied by piercing energy hums.
In the sky, the enormous War Fortress was like a floating continent, making the already gloomy world even darker.
Countless Furnace People warships flew out from within, carrying wave after wave of Furnace People armies into battle.
Boom!
The rain-like purple flashes collided with the Furnace People fleet. In an instant, they pierced through the warships' energy barriers and left one melted hole after another in their physical armor.
Soon, the downpour ended.
More than half of the Furnace People fleet had been melted away, and the remaining ships had no choice but to crank their Barrier Generators to maximum output.
"Furnace People calling the big guys, Furnace People calling the big guys. An over-the-horizon concentrated-fire position is sniping the fortress fleet. Time to stretch your muscles."
The Furnace People's message traveled through the communications system and beyond the world. Outside the world, countless ships like Sky Islands divided up the skies above nearly half the world. Between them, innumerable reconnaissance fighters continuously observed every movement on the ground.
With the arrival of the Furnace People's message, those Sky Island-like ships immediately sprang into action.
"Coordinates 1245, 4579. Prepare for airborne strike." The Titan Commander's icy voice carried through the communications system. "I repeat, coordinates 1245, 4579. Prepare for airborne strike."
"The airborne strike division has received the order."
On the lowest decks of the ships, Titans over ten meters tall, clad in Rune mechs, began entering their drop pods. These Titans had already approached the strength of World Lords. After the Civilization Devourer recovered from its injuries, the strength of its legions had risen as well.
Some elite legions of the Previous Civilization Alliance had begun appearing in organized formations.
