Hellfire's team quietly infiltrated SHIELD, while outside, the war-torn skies and smoke-filled battlefield continued to develop. From the moment the aerospace aircraft carrier activated its close-in defense guns, SHIELD's air battle was doomed to fail. Within the Holy Light Judgment forces, Transformers used their exceptional mobility to help players systematically destroy the fighter planes launched from the aerospace aircraft carrier.
At this time, the jet engines had accelerated, and the players piloting fighter planes advanced toward the aerospace aircraft carrier. The first echelon of fighter jets, such as Stargrazer and Crazy Flame, moved like agile swallows, weaving through the firepower net of close-in defense artillery. Occasionally, one was unfortunate enough to be shot down.
"We're here! Attract their attention and spread their firepower as much as possible!" The voice of the Transformers team captain echoed in the pilots' headsets, lifting morale.
At the captain's command, the fighter planes that had been hovering in the sky quickly dispersed, increasing their distances from one another. The locked guard guns followed their movements, but as a result, the concentrated firepower of the aerospace aircraft carrier began to scatter as well.
"Druit, stay safe!" Elson, leader of the --00, spoke with concern.
"Understood!" replied a Droso Transformer named Druit, who was covered in gold and silver paint with wings adorning his back. Without hesitation, he dived and surged forward, leading the charge. Compared to other Transformers, Druit's body was reinforced with solid metal plating and radiated a unique aura of strength and resilience.
"Charge!"
As Druit surged ahead, the remaining vigilantes, Transcendence, and other Transformers, followed suit. Their engines emitted supersonic rings as they transformed into streaks of light, racing toward their target.
Druit was no ordinary Transformer. Once a Droso vehicle, he had transformed into a full-fledged being after exposure to the Source of Fire during the Lizard Incident, becoming Elson's closest partner. Following the Los Santos event, where Holy Light Judgment secured first place, Elson obtained the Source of Fire and used it to bring Druit to life. This made Druit the first true Transformer on Earth.
As the Transformers dived, the aerospace carrier's firepower network adjusted its calculations, turning its guns to focus on the advancing forces. But before the cannons could lock on, Druit and the other Transformers launched missiles at them.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."
The barrage of missiles roared through the air but were intercepted by the carrier's close-in defense cannons. The distraction, however, provided the Transformers and fighter forces the opportunity to approach the deck.
"Da-da-da..."
Fighter jets like Tiansha and Hydra fired cannons at the carrier's deck. One Hydra pilot, witnessing the giant mechanical warriors descending from the skies, turned and fled, wishing for more legs to run faster. But a fighter jet's speed left no room for escape.
"Boom!"
A Hydra member's vehicle exploded as a missile found its mark. The Transformers landed on the deck one after another, wielding firearms to destroy the remaining close-in defense cannons.
"Da-da-da..."
The gopher-like defense cannons on the deck erupted in flames under the relentless assault. Within moments, the dense firepower net protecting the skies had vanished, replaced by chaos on the deck. Transformers moved like rampaging giants, wreaking havoc wherever they went.
Suddenly, a burst of blazing flame energy erupted.
"Boom!"
A Heart-Changing Transformer, chasing a Hydra member, was struck directly in the chest. The impact pierced through, leaving a gaping void. The super-flammable Transformer collapsed onto the deck, lifeless.
Crossbones stood at the source of the attack, flames swirling around his hands before dissipating. He didn't linger to celebrate but immediately dashed toward the lower deck as cannon fire from a Hydra fighter plane pursued him.
"Da-da-da..."
A trail of bullets chased Crossbones across the deck. Just before they reached him, he leaped into the lower level, narrowly escaping. The Hydra pilot circled overhead but, unable to follow, reluctantly moved on.
"Deploy the special armored forces. Locate the central control room and find a way to seize control of the aerospace aircraft carrier," Elson commanded through the communication channel.
Looking at the breached defenses, Elson mused aloud, "They said our guild base was outdated. How about this aerospace aircraft carrier? It'd be a waste to destroy it with space-based cannons. Hellfire may have nuclear submarines, but there's no reason Holy Light Judgment can't have an aerospace carrier."
The guild players cheered at the idea, their excitement palpable.
"Buzz, buzz..."
The Avengers Fortress and numerous transport helicopters hovered over the battered aerospace carrier. The deck was in ruins, with smoke and flames lingering despite the initial cleanup efforts. As helicopters landed, special forces equipped with exoskeletons emerged, armed and ready.
Dr. Otto descended from the Avengers Fortress. Using his metallic tentacles for support, he landed gracefully on the deck, resembling a giant octopus.
"There's a dangerous individual inside. I'm going in with you," Otto declared, referring to Crossbones. The mysterious flame energy intrigued him, and he was determined to investigate.
"Be careful," Elson warned, nodding in approval. Although tempted to join the action, he had to remain with the Avengers' internal command team to monitor the situation and prepare for potential evacuation.
With Otto leading the way, the exoskeleton troops entered the carrier's interior.
Meanwhile, the Hellfire team, following their planner's instructions, infiltrated the computer assembly room at the bottom of SHIELD. Rows upon rows of computers and databases stretched out like a digital library.
Dense with critical information, this area was Hellfire's primary objective. Dominic, the team leader, issued commands to secure the room and begin extracting data.
