Chapter 1469: Battle
"What is that?"
Zhang He was dumbfounded, his face full of shock.
"It seems to be some sort of energy shield. This Ling Feng, really is deep and unassuming!"
After his surprise, Han Wancheng squinted his eyes.
The internet was abuzz, with many people sending bullet comments: I knew Ling Feng wasn’t that weak, turns out he had some tricks up his sleeve!
But more people were discussing what exactly blocked the shells, as they hadn’t seen it clearly!
At the dock, Ling Feng was not very satisfied at this moment.
Because it only blocked the shells, if it couldn’t even achieve this effect, then the energy shield would be meaningless.
When it was designed, it was supposed to withstand missiles!
He didn’t know if the ships opposite had such a thing.
At this moment, the fleet was also a bit dumbfounded. They thought a few shells would batter Lingyun Island, but they found they were blocked, leaving them a bit stunned.
Benjamin was on that destroyer. Seeing this scene, he immediately issued a command through the communication system: "Continue to approach, open fire, and use the machine gun to sweep!"
A ship horn blared from the fleet, and then eight ships continued to advance, heading toward the dock!
At the same time, several multi-barrel machine guns on the warship opened fire simultaneously!
For enhanced visual effect, tracer bullets were specially installed, with streaks of fire flashing, shooting straight toward the dock!
But unfortunately, these bullets were intercepted several hundred meters away from the dock.
The tracer bullet heads scattered, ironically clarifying for onlookers that there was indeed a shield around Lingyun Island, an invisible barrier unseen by the naked eye!
High-speed bullets, high-explosive shells, neither could breach this wall!
"Now they’re doomed. Benjamin must be out of spells!" Zhang He said with a laugh.
Han Wancheng was not so sure, smiling as he said: "If that’s all they have, then the people behind him aren’t much better. I think they must have a backup plan!"
"Could they? Do they really have missiles on board?"
Zhang Hao was taken aback, then said: "If that’s true, then this isn’t a decommissioned ship, but a current military ship secretly provided by a country!"
Han Wancheng remained expressionless: "Watch carefully, we’ll know soon!"
Realizing that even bullets could not penetrate the invisible barrier, Benjamin was dumbstruck.
The machine gun bullets were expensive too; the recent salvo fired over two thousand rounds, costing over a million. So he was reluctant to continue the attack.
Just then, his phone rang in his pocket. Benjamin quickly answered: "Hello?"
"Their shield must be energy-consuming. Now we can only resort to the final means, a massive explosion surely can sap the energy, go ahead!" the other party said.
"Do we really have to use that?"
Benjamin’s heart sank, suddenly wanting to back out.
This was no longer a battle a businessman like him could command. He was just trying to regain his dignity, thinking that leading a fleet would make Ling Feng fearfully surrender and admit his mistakes!
But now, Benjamin was losing control of the situation.
"At this point, do you have a way out?" An icy voice came through the phone.
Benjamin froze on the spot, his legs beginning to tremble slightly.
And then that voice continued: "If you don’t give the order, I can also notify the crew on board to fire!"
"Then you do it, I’m out!"
Benjamin shivered and immediately hung up the phone!
Before he could leave the command room, he heard a swoosh from behind, followed by several more. A few white tails streaked past, heading straight for Lingyun Island!
"What the hell, actual missiles!"
Zhang He, far off in Longyuan, stood up, slamming the table at this sight!
Han Wancheng was much calmer than him, but immediately frowned!
Bringing out such weapons was no longer child’s play.
Seeing five missiles flying over, Ling Feng also squinted his eyes.
Initially, he remained quite composed, but seeing the opponent use such weapons instantly ignited the anger in his heart!
If there was no energy shield, Lingyun Island would have turned into a sea of flames instantly!
Of course, without an energy shield, he wouldn’t have allowed the fleet to get close, and would have eliminated the threat as soon as they were discovered.
The missiles arrived in an instant, intercepted overhead with an earth-shattering roar that sent shockwaves felt even by the people at the dock!
But unfortunately, even those five light missiles were all intercepted outside, causing no damage to Lingyun Island!
The onlookers were dumbfounded.
Such a scene had only been seen in science fiction movies, but now it was happening for real. People simultaneously felt a surge of curiosity in their hearts. What kind of person was this Ling Feng?
Meanwhile, some were already trying to think of ways for the fleet.
With heavy weapons proving useless, should they just attempt to ram the ship now?
Just as they thought of this, the observers saw the ships moving!
Indeed, they were accelerating toward the dock!
As they charged forward, people on board also took up weapons, shooting toward the dock!
"If they’re so fearless, let them have their wish."
Seeing the ships approaching, Ling Feng sneered, turning to look at Li Fei’er and Long Xiaoyu.
The two women were already itching to go, summoning Little Hong, and Long Xiaoyu’s body flashed with a golden light, flying straight into the air!
Of course, this scene wasn’t broadcasted, as Ah Min, responsible for filming, had Ling Feng’s agreement to refrain from sharing certain key footage.
Thus, the online spectators saw that as the ships prepared to charge, a golden figure suddenly appeared in the sky. After a dragon’s roar, flames burst forth!
Then, another fiery red figure descended from the clouds, spewing a jet of flames as well!
In just a moment, all eight ships caught fire!
The people on board didn’t even have time to take two steps before being swallowed by the flames.
Then, to the onlookers’ astonishment, those dead ships slowly receded from the range of Lingyun Island!
Nobody knew what happened.
They only saw the ships burst into flames and start retreating.
When the drone footage came in, the onlookers saw the eight ships burning red and then slowly sinking into the sea.
The counterattack began and ended in a flash.
Many people stared blankly at their screens, minds empty.
Even as the live broadcast ended, some hadn’t yet reacted.
And with Ling Feng, he just shrugged his shoulders: "Nothing much to it, let’s all head back!"
