Chapter 1086 956: God of Armies and War Mark

Aiven looked at Anita, who held Lelakin's [War Divine Position], enveloped in a fierce crimson divine light, with immense joy in his eyes.

"Is this the bloodline resonance from [God of War] King of Giants Mars? So fast!"

Toot-toot-toot-toot——!

Accompanied by a thrilling battle horn that stirred the blood.

Sounds of gunfire, cannon blasts, aircraft buzzing, radio waves... sounded in succession, as the radiant crimson divine light fluctuated, seemingly resonating intensely with this world.

More accurately, it's gradually synchronizing with numerous fierce battlefields spread across the world.

In the process, the rust-red [War Divine Position] is rapidly merging with Anita, becoming part of her, this Tier 5 [Dragon King], as if they were born for each other, without any hindrance.

Not only that.

The [War Divine Position], originally outdated by several centuries, is adapting to the changes in modern warfare and Anita's understanding of warfare.

Compared to its previous state with Lelakin's idea of "archers," "sword and shield soldiers," "lancers"... this understanding is immensely superior, spanning entirely two different eras.

Moreover, under the backdrop of world war, Anita's fusion with the new [Divine Position] requires no rituals, as the immense military aura pervading the Material World provides the best nourishment.

At this moment, the sea battle below has reached a turning point.

"Look, our fleet is about to conclude the fight with the Federation's fleet!"

Liweina exclaimed softly, drawing everyone's attention.

On the battlefield filled with screams, explosions, and the heavy stench, the situation had already gradually become clear.

Earlier, under the command of Aiven's Tier 3 Clone, the Duchy Fleet performed a textbook "U-turn" in front of the Federation Fleet.

Though several cruisers were hit and sunk during the turn, the Duchy Fleet soon executed a perfect battle using the "T-head" tactic.

In the chaos, 28 various warships of the Federation Fleet were sunk, with a personnel loss ratio between the two sides reaching an astounding 40:1.

Even the wolf-pack-style submarine warfare, which the Federation held great hope in, failed to reverse the situation.

The cruisers in the Duchy Fleet had already grasped the trick; submarines had to surface to a depth of 3-15 meters to launch torpedoes.

At such shallow depths, with vigilant lookouts, submarines could be easily spotted, allowing cruisers to attack them using shellfire or even a prow ram.

Before submarines could complete their water intake and submerge, cruisers were already capable of sinking them.

Eventually, it turned into a one-sided pursuit and slaughter.

"Order: Target [Light of Democracy], First Subfleet to adjust and fire, sink it for me!"

Even when switching to semaphore, orders from [Spear of Royal Authority] were precisely received by extremely perceptive [Gunmen].

Turrets rotated, firing angles adjusted.

Boom! Boom! Boom!...

High-explosive shells exploded into giant sprays of water around the second-largest ship on the battlefield, the [Light of Democracy].

Moreover, following successive corrections in shooting parameters with the fleet's "cross-shooting method," it was getting closer to the enemy.

First Subfleet, with twenty-three warships, had already commenced the final encirclement on the Federation flagship [Light of Democracy].

With continuous upgrading of various models of battleships within the Tulip Alliance, the military had conducted numerous related tests on combat capabilities.

Due to synchronous evolution of battleship "firepower" and "armor belt," the "spear" and "shield," even in the "giant ship cannon" era, it was difficult to experience a one-sided overwhelming crush.

For instance, a large battleship like [Crown Prince] could sink a cruiser with just one salvo at a distance of 5000 meters.

But to sink an enemy ship from a distance of 10000 meters without causing an ammo magazine explosion, would take about 45 minutes.

Although side-by-side combat had been completely outdated, close-range combat was still the best way to improve hit rate.

Seeing the Duchy Fleet about to completely encircle the Federation flagship, encompassing it within a web of several hundred shipborne artillery.

Federation Fleet Commander Edi Ernest, whose face looked slightly defeated, resolutely ordered: "Activate [Sound Wave Cannon]!"

"Sir, the [Sound Wave Cannon] technology is immature, it may easily harm our own people."

"Soldier, execute the order!"

Suddenly.

Buzz——!

A low-frequency sound, exceeding normal human perception limits but vaguely sensed by the Extraordinary, erupted from a peculiar machine on [Light of Democracy].

Though merely a sound wave, it achieved large-scale directed attacks on the Duchy Fleet.

"Ugh!"

It felt as if a land and water rite was being held in the heads of the duchy's officers and soldiers, with bells, cymbals, and gongs all sounding together, causing their brains to vibrate in resonance with the sound waves.

However, as time went on, this directional ability was quickly losing control, now affecting other Federation warships on the battlefield as well.

[Sound Wave Cannon] is also termed [Music Synthesizer].

The main body is a 200-ton electric reed organ, as massive as a hydropower station.

Equipped with huge control levers, shafts, pistons, valves, and rivets, each octave consists of 36 keys, and when played, the iron chimney at the top spews out copious amounts of smoke, truly a masterpiece of the steam era!

It can emit "ultrasound" that is undetectable by human ears.

In an ideal state, this is a remarkably powerful directional sound wave weapon, comparable to the [Cloud-Breaking Device] in advanced technology.

High-frequency sound waves generated by the high-energy ultrasonic generator can cause powerful air pressure, making people experience blurred vision, nausea, and other physiological reactions, thereby weakening or completely incapacitating personnel combat capabilities.

This weapon can even shatter door and window glass.

Even hiding within a battleship or a concrete air raid shelter cannot prevent this; it can penetrate 15 meters of concrete walls and armored steel plates, severely resulting in direct fatalities!

However, this non-instantaneously fatal weapon provided the duchy with an opportunity to react.

After promptly identifying the attack method.

"Sound propagation requires a medium; that's common knowledge!"

In the bridge of the [Spear of Royal Authority], the group of technical officers collectively offered a solution while clutching their heads.

Clearly, these officers of the duchy, who had undergone nine years of compulsory education, lived up to their junior high school diplomas.

Coincidentally, the black technology mastered by them had a targeted response pattern.

Crackling...

Immediately, the [Weather Controller] was activated, scientifically establishing a highly unscientific vacuum band between the two, firmly blocking the directional ultrasound.

"Concentrate fire!"

Following the total attack order issued by Aiven's Tier 3 clone, hundreds of shipborne artillery pieces from the First Fleet unleashed a fiery storm, stirring a terrifying Category 12 hurricane over the battlefield.

Boom——!!!

This time, not even five minutes passed before the Golden Palm Federation's strongest battleship, [Light of Democracy], was blown into a massive fireball and sank violently.

Ultimately, the Federation Fleet abandoned half of their warships and began a desperate retreat toward their homeland.

It is foreseeable that unless something unexpected happens, this is destined to be a fierce thousand-mile chase.

"The situation is set!"

Aiven gently applauded, this naval battle could almost be considered the turning point of this world war.

Without the powerful navy's protection, even if the member states of the [International Democratic Alliance] are numerous, they could only become isolated islands, allowing the unified [Monarch's Shield] to easily clean up.

Simultaneously, in this naval battle where over 20,000 elite Federation naval personnel perished, it fiercely nourished the growth of His "Life Tree," which wasn't inferior to a demigod in any respect.

Moreover, this great victory directly birthed a new... [God of Armies] for the duchy!

In the Galliot Duchy, Anita already had a large following and admirers, especially since she served as the first Fleet Commander and established the three great fleets single-handedly.

The pervasive military spirit combined with devout faith, everything fell into place.

In the brilliant crimson divine light somewhat resembling the [Violence Angels], infantry, artillery, signalers, airships, airplanes, warships... the flows of light and shadow.

Thousands upon thousands of voices sang in unison:

"O Anita of the Armies! You are the God who eternally reigns as a monarch, may the earth, islands, and mountains sing praises to you.

Oh God! You possess boundless authority and majesty, you will govern all peoples with righteousness and justice, letting them kneel before you in glory.

When the day of judgment comes, all deceitful evildoers shall be obliterated by you.

O Anita of the Armies! We praise and sing of you...."

Anita, successfully integrating her new divine position, slowly opened her emerald eyes and gently clenched her fist, as if her slender and agile body contained endless power in the current world setting.

Suddenly.

"Huh? What's on your head, Aiven?"

Anita's eyes, glowing with the divine power of the [God of Armies], discovered an eye-catching sign resembling the "Pirate Blood Banner" atop Aiven's head.

Having originally come from pirates, Anita naturally knew the meaning of the Blood Banner—it represents only one thing: relentless pursuit!

Hiss——!

The next moment, a chilling killing intent from the direction of the "Storm Belt" re-emerged.
