Chapter 172: Slaughter
In the sky above Earth, the blue Marshal-class warship, the Valiant, commenced its action, drawing the attention of countless human onlookers.
The surface of the Valiant, resembling a raging ocean, altered its course, setting sail towards the Arctic.
The warship, accelerating instantly to Mach 20, caused a thunderous explosion in the sky. Clouds were forcefully dispersed, revealing a vast blue sky circle, tearing through the air. It streaked across Washington and Ottawa in Canada, causing glass in the buildings below to shatter, inducing panic and fearful screams among the people.
Approaching the airspace near Greenland, the Valiant, on both its sides, deployed three thousand missile launchers each. Countless mirror-smooth, half-meter-long micro-cruise missiles, trailed by blue electromagnetic acceleration rings, shot out from the launchers. In an instant, over thirty thousand micro-cruise missiles were launched, seeming to pierce the entire sky, their blue magnetic rings propelling them towards the legion of Amazon warriors.
"Sisters, he's showcasing their pitiful tools."
The commander of the Amazon warrior legion observed the micro-missiles launched by the Valiant approaching and couldn't help but crack a grin.
The surrounding Amazon warriors burst into laughter.
Despite thousands of years of isolation, the Amazon warriors' perception of humanity remained that of frail bodies incapable of withstanding any form of attack.
What powerful weapons could these feeble bodies possibly create?
And to invade Earth with such weapons from an extraterrestrial origin was simply a colossal joke.
Would it work? Could it hit even a single Amazon warrior?
No, it couldn't.
They couldn't be hit.
Could it match the precision of an Amazon warrior's bow and arrow?
These missiles were utterly static, unable to maneuver. Just observing their trajectory made the Amazon warriors burst into laughter.
They were confident that every skilled Amazon warrior could easily evade the rapidly approaching 'arrows' in the sky.
"Commander, no magic, no energy fluctuations," a reconnaissance scout detected the 'arrows' in the sky, revealing no familiar energy patterns.
"Is this some kind of probing maneuver?"
Commanding the Amazon Legion, the female commander smirked with disdain. "Is this all they have? Let our enemies witness the quality of the Amazon Legion!"
"With your eyes, track the trajectory of each arrow! Let the enemy see the quality of Amazon warriors!"
The commander of the Amazon Legion shouted, "Everyone, spread out one meter and evade these feeble arrows!"
The laughing Amazon warriors swiftly displayed their formidable physical and military qualities. With just a glance, every Amazon warrior in the legion knew the landing points of these straightforward arrows and quickly spread out, maintaining a one-meter distance.
The entire legion, dressed in golden armor, moved like undulating waves of gold, swiftly executing the commander's orders in perfect synchronization.
Even the faces of the Amazon warriors bore smiles.
They were familiar with their commander's leadership.
Demonstrating the Amazon warriors' robust physical prowess, precise vision, and disciplined military actions as one entity right from the start of the battle, they psychologically devastated their enemies, increasing their pressure, severity, caution, worry, and eventual fear, leading to their elimination.
They were adept at this commanding style, effortlessly avoiding the arrows' landing points, standing nearby those points with heads held high, facing the enemy with mocking expressions.
Diana, who was observing the Lonely Fortress from a distant peak, turned around and witnessed the Amazon Legion's commander handling this wave of attacks. She was horrified and almost fainted.
Themyscira had been secluded from the world, retaining combat methods from feudal times, relying on physical confrontation, horseback fighting, and at most adding a touch of magic. It remained a bloody melee.
"Activate magical shields, counterattack, counterattack, take down the arrows!"
Diana's beautiful face showed astonishment, screaming loudly at the Amazon Legion in fear and shock.
The entire Arctic resonated with Diana's colossal voice, causing ripples in the air, shaking everything around.
Both the legion's commander and soldiers were puzzled. They instinctively wanted to obey Diana's command, but the thirty thousand micro-cruise missiles had already descended from the sky, cutting through the chilly air, brushing against their skin, landing at their feet, scattering ice fragments and dirt.
None of the arrows hit an Amazon warrior.
The Amazon legion's commander and soldiers paused their actions to activate magical shields. Many soldiers shrugged, unconcerned by the arrows at their feet.
It seemed to say, "See? Not even one Amazon warrior was hurt."
The Marshal-Class Battleship "Valiant": "..."
The one inside the Marshal-Class Battleship "Valiant," Karu: "Heh."
Inside the Zero Command Room, H'el: "..."
Green Lantern Hal: "No.."
Hiding beneath the ice layer, Joe-El: "!!!"
Wonder Woman Diana, with a horrified expression: "!!!!!!"
In the next moment,
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Thirty thousand micro-cruise missiles collided internally, generating high-energy particles that tore through the smooth outer shell, erupting intense flames from within, creating enormous black smoke upon contact with the air.
Standing nearby, the Amazon warriors bore the brunt of the explosion. Despite the magical protection of their golden warrior armor and the magical engravings, they faced the direct impact of the massive explosion.
The golden warrior armor displayed a faint protective glow before being completely torn apart by the impact. The Amazon warriors suffered severe injuries, their flesh vaporized by the intense heat, bodies blown apart, bones shattered.
Thirty thousand identical scenes erupted simultaneously. Those who died, died instantly, scattered around by the force of the explosion.
Limbs were severed a bit further away, unfortunate souls had their spines and necks snapped directly. Only those beyond a hundred meters, where the magical protection of the golden armor took effect, survived despite being blown away.
In an instant, the area turned into a human-made hell, a brutal slaughterhouse, as flames and black smoke coiled into a ball, rising slowly in the Arctic.
This bombardment was like a direct explosion in Diana's mind, leaving her stunned.
Wonder Woman Diana felt her entire soul freeze, unable to think. In just a moment, over a hundred and fifty thousand Amazon warriors vanished into thin air.
