Chapter 580: Not a Battle on Equal Grounds

Translator: Timothy_ Editor: GlobeGlotter

There was no probing, no small-scale attacks. Luo Yue’s nuke had crossed the U.S.’s red line, prompting lightning-fast retaliation. 120,000 elite soldiers attacked Luo Yue from three sides. In their eyes, Luo Yue was a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. They planned to conquer Luo Yue swiftly, breaking all records. Without the nukes, perhaps they would have proceeded more slowly. The Union launched a full-scale attack.

“Report—our radars are being heavily jammed. We cannot lock onto targets.” “Report—their jamming system is overwhelming our systems. We cannot make precise attacks.” “Report—their jamming system is too strong. Our electrical systems are failing.” “Report—my plane is locked onto by their radar.” …

The Union Army command center was stunned. Since when could a startup company field such a powerful military jamming system? Modern warfare was electronic warfare. If the enemy’s jamming prevented target acquisition, how could the battle even be fought? Their planes were being locked onto; the outcome was obvious.

The commanding officer was sweating. They had planned a blitzkrieg, a favorite tactic of Germany in WWII. Now, he could only stand dazed. Even Russia wouldn't possess such a strong jamming system. Their planes were jammed almost immediately after takeoff—how could they fight?

If Luo Yue had created such a jamming machine, did that mean the nukes were also theirs? Thinking this, Peter immediately ordered, “Retreat! Retreat immediately!” But his order was too late.

All planes locked onto by Luo Yue’s radar were blinded before they even reached Luo Yue.

Rumble rumble—Ye Mo saw countless anti-aircraft missiles illuminate the sky red as fighter jets were accurately shot down across the battlefield. The jets offered no resistance under such intense jamming, and the pilots could only rely on skill to evade the missiles. They fired missiles at random, but even well-aimed shots were stopped by the Space Shield Defense System.

The troops who hadn’t landed watched the aerial fireworks in shock. Since when did the world possess such accurate missile systems?

Ye Mo sneered. He knew he needn't worry about these planes. Though Luo Yue had no planes of its own, Ye Xing hadn’t been bluffing. Ye Mo was certain Ye Xing’s jamming machine and radar system were unbeatable. He was even more certain Ye Xing wasn't from this world, but unlike himself, Ye Xing had lost his memories.

This electronic warfare battle left the Union Army defenseless. The missiles Ye Xing had modified were faster, longer-ranged, and more accurate.

“F*ck, you want to invade Luo Yue with this garbage radar and electronic system? I overestimated you! You wasted one of my extreme energy stones, what a disappointment!” Ye Xing watched the falling jets, bored.

“It seems my help isn’t needed here,” Ye Mo muttered, then vanished. He knew Luo Yue’s navy, despite significant investment, was its weakest point. He needed to annihilate the Union Army’s naval forces.

Knowing capturing 80 ships was impossible, he simply sliced them in half. The nuclear submarines met the same fate. In short order, Ye Mo had annihilated 20 ships. Countless soldiers struggled in the ocean. They hadn’t even seen their opponent and had already lost 20 ships—what weapon was this? At that moment, Luo Yue’s ships approached the Union Army and announced that those who surrendered would be spared.

One guard ship’s captain, furious, immediately ordered an attack. But before his ship's cannons could fire, it was destroyed by an unknown weapon. A missile submarine also crept toward Luo Yue’s fleet, only to be sliced in half by Ye Mo before launching any missiles. The intense water pressure ripped the crew apart.

Ye Mo emerged from the sea and took an essence chi pill. He was thankful he'd concocted some; otherwise, he would have been depleted. Without Ye Xing’s help, Ye Mo was sure he couldn't have stopped the Union Army's attack.

Watching his ships destroyed one by one by an unknown weapon, Sai’s face turned green. His ship’s scans found nothing within 100 nautical miles of Luo Yue!

Huang Yinian felt satisfied. If Ye Mo hadn’t told him not to fire on carrier ships, he wouldn’t have resisted the urge to launch a few missiles. Though he didn’t know why the enemy ships were sinking, he knew it was related to the mysterious City Lord Ye Mo and Ye Xing.

Though Luo Yue didn’t unleash many cannons or missiles, a few were fired occasionally, further sinking struggling soldiers. These people were demons! They didn’t even spare the drowning soldiers. Sai dared not launch the remaining jets, knowing they would be target practice.

This wasn’t a fair fight. They had anticipated an uneven battle, expecting to hold the advantage, but the reality was the opposite. No one could have imagined Luo Yue would be so strong. Luo Yue’s electronic warfare capabilities were otherworldly—they had created technology beyond its time. It was humiliating. The commander had never fought such a humiliating battle. He was certain no one expected Luo Yue to be this strong. If Luo Yue harbored great ambitions…

Sai dared not continue that thought.
