Two Realms Shuttle Gate: Don't Call Me a Demon!

Above ten thousand meters over Te Wei City!

Dozens of You Tai Country fighter jets are rushing towards this location.

Because the Luanyang Air-Space Strategic Bomber bombarded various airports within You Tai Country by launching missiles, You Tai Country's fighter jets suffered significant losses.

So although You Tai Country has hundreds of fighter jets, either they were destroyed at the airport, or there's not enough time to repair the runways, preventing them from taking off.

The dozens of fighter jets now flying over are maintained by You Tai Country's ground crew at all cost, refueled, armed, and urgently took off to support Te Wei City.

Despite You Tai Country being a tiny place, it has the backing of Beautiful Country, making its air force quite strong.

For example, the fighter jets rushing to support Te Wei City include not only the classic F-15 and F-16 jets, but also the Beautiful Country's fifth-generation fighter, the F-35.

These fighter jets are organized into pairs, directed by Gray from You Tai Country's air force, who is reporting the situation to the rear command center.

"Report, the fighter jet squadron has reached the vicinity of Te Wei City's airspace. We are currently searching for enemy aircraft, but have found nothing on radar. Requesting ground radar information input to help locate enemy traces."

Gray spoke via radio while frowning at the empty radar warning receiver.

Its function is to detect enemy aircraft radar signals, alerting pilots of enemy attacks, to allow pilots adequate preparation for aerial combat and calmly respond to threats.

However, having reached the airspace around Te Wei City, they still haven't found any traces of the enemy, leaving Gray puzzled.

He's piloting an F-35A fighter jet, albeit as an export version weakened by Beautiful Country, yet it is an advanced fifth-generation fighter worth over a million US Dollars, with the AN/APG-81 radar offering an air search range of up to 150 kilometers.

If the enemy aircraft were nearby, they should have been found already, unless...

Gray's face changed slightly as he quickly issued a command via radio: "Attention everyone, it's highly possible that the enemy aircraft from the Jieke Group are equipped with stealth capabilities. Everyone should spread out to widen the search airspace. Report immediately upon target acquisition."

Gray didn't know the enemy he was searching for was just above at fifty thousand meters.

"Report, there are a total of 36 fighter jets. Requesting the captain to assign mission targets."

Aboard a Luanyang Air-Space Strategic Bomber, Sang Hong listened to the report over the radio. He is the captain commanding this bomber squadron.

"Assign the predetermined attack targets, radar lock, prepare to launch air-to-air missiles."

Sang Hong remained calm and quickly organized attack targets for everyone.

Typically, bombers face two options—loss or escape—when confronted with fighter jets, given their adversarial relationship.

No bomber desires to encounter fighter jets during a mission, as this places them in great peril.

But Sang Hong shared no such concerns because he's piloting Jieke Group's masterpiece, the Luanyang Air-Space Strategic Bomber.

Other bombers fear facing fighter jets, but the Luanyang Air-Space Strategic Bomber does not abide by this rule.

Like now, the Luanyang Air-Space Strategic Bomber's powerful stealth capabilities allow it to disappear right under the noses of You Tai Country fighter jets.

Modern warfare relies on intelligence—the ability to see the enemy while remaining unseen yourself, which provides a significant advantage.

"Report to squad leader, I'm Ice Cream, I have radar lock on the enemy, enemy position..."

"I'm Ice, battle preparations complete."

"I'm Little Panda, battle preparations complete."

"I'm Stupid Pigeon..."

Listening to the voices coming through the radio communication, Sang Hong observed enemy traces via biological radar and issued commands.

"Everyone, launch air-to-air missiles. Let's show these You Tai Space Army troops that the skies belong to us, the Jieke Eagles, and they are not for these pheasants to tamper with—shoot them all down from the sky."

After these words, Sang Hong pressed the missile launch button. The Luanyang Air-Space Strategic Bomber's belly opened, releasing 5 air-to-air missiles one after another, heading towards You Tai Country fighter jets.

The bomber's ample payload capacity allows the Luanyang Air-Space Strategic Bomber to carry numerous self-defense weapons alongside its bombing missions.

These air-to-air missiles are a type of self-defense weapon, which one would seldom see on other bombers.

Indeed, eliminating enemy aircraft ensures one's own safety, classifying air-to-air missiles as self-defense weapons.

Seven other Luanyang Air-Space Strategic Bombers did the same, launching air-to-air missiles towards their designated targets.

A total of 40 air-to-air missiles launched, marking the first round of strikes by the Luanyang Air-Space Strategic Bombers.

"Alert! Alert! Fighter jet locked on by missile, immediately take emergency evasive actions."

The piercing sound came through, and the F35 fighter jet piloted by Gray suddenly emitted continuous high-frequency alarm sounds. The radar screen flashed red, displaying incoming missile arrows.

"When did this happen? Where exactly are the enemies?"

Gray was shocked, as he hadn't seen any trace of the enemy, yet enemy missiles had already been fired first.

Even though he was piloting one of the most advanced fifth-generation stealth fighters, why had circumstances reversed, leaving him blind and deaf, searching for the enemy in the vast airspace, getting targeted by enemy aircraft?

"Bad luck, I'm locked by a missile."

"Damn it, I'm locked by two missiles."

"Ahhh! Damn it! What is happening here, where exactly is the enemy?"

"Forget the chatter! Initiate emergency evasive maneuvers now!"

Frightened cries from pilots came through the radio, in this beyond-visual-range aerial combat, which has always been a tactic used by the strong against the weak.

For example, in the past, You Tai Country relied on advanced aircraft purchased from Beautiful Country, using this method to bully opponents. Now, the tables have turned, and it's their turn to be sanctioned.

Air-to-air missiles travel substantially faster than fighter jets. Generally, fighter jets ignite afterburners, with speeds reaching twice the sonic speed, yet the launch speed of air-to-air missiles reaches six times the sonic speed.

You Tai Country pilots exert their utmost, maneuvering their planes to perform various evasive actions, dodging incoming missiles by employing maneuvers and firing infrared countermeasures.

In modern warfare, once a fighter jet is locked on by a missile, the mortality rate is extremely high.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Firework rain descended from the sky as You Tai Country's fighter jets were hit by air-to-air missiles, exploding into huge flames, turning into deadly fireworks in the sky, both brilliant and lethal.

Some fighter jets were hit by shrapnel from exploding air-to-air missiles, emitting black smoke as they plummeted to the ground, returning into the embrace of Mother Earth, with fuel and ammunition causing massive explosions upon impact, leaving deep craters on the ground.

Gray was very fortunate, as he evaded an incoming air-to-air missile; his infrared decoy flares deceiving the missile and successfully steering him away from danger.

In this process, he witnessed an F16 fighter jet from You Tai Country being struck by an air-to-air missile, with the pilot unable to eject in time, becoming entombed with the disintegrating jet high in the sky.

Just one round of missile attacks resulted in over half of the fighter jet squadron Gray was in being destroyed, shot down by air-to-air missiles.

Beep! Beep beep beep!

Suddenly, Gray noticed a signal fluctuation on the radar screen.

He widened his eyes because during the evasion of the air-to-air missile, he had been continuously ascending in his fighter jet, now reaching an altitude of 18,000 meters, which was already the service ceiling of the F35 fighter jet he was piloting.

But on the radar screen, it indicated the approximate position of the enemy aircraft, which was at the altitude of 50,000 meters, a height unattainable for the fighter jet he was flying.

"You've got to be kidding, at over 50,000 meters."

Gray felt that his world view was about to collapse. What kind of black technology had Jieke Group developed to create aircraft with a combat ceiling over 50,000 meters?

But the radar wouldn't deceive him, even if the onboard radar could only vaguely sense the location of the unknown aircraft.

"Everyone, the enemy is at the altitude of 50,000 meters, they are a stealth aircraft, and our radar is unable to accurately lock onto them at this height, continue to ascend with me."

Gray gritted his teeth and suddenly maneuvered his F35 fighter jet towards the enemy aircraft detected by the onboard radar, drawing closer to allow for a more precise radar lock.

The distance grew closer, and his F35 fighter jet flew higher and higher, surpassing 20,000 meters, and was still climbing.

This had already surpassed the F35 fighter jet's service ceiling, and continuing to rise made the aircraft prone to malfunctions or even disintegration.

Gray could also feel the aircraft trembling, and the controls becoming more unstable.

Finally, his radar illumination successfully locked onto the unknown enemy aircraft.

Missile launch!!!

Without much hesitation, Gray hurriedly launched two air-to-air missiles and then quickly descended in altitude, fearing that staying any longer would lead to his aircraft disintegrating.

The air-to-air missiles ignited in mid-air, charging towards the Luanyang Air-Space Strategic Bomber.

"Alert, missiles incoming, two in total."

Sang Hong watched the signals displayed on the screen, remaining calm in the face of danger, he gave orders to the two co-pilot aviators.

"Infrared flares ready!"

"Activate close-in weapon system!"

"Engage maximum speed."

The Luanyang Air-Space Strategic Bomber personally piloted by Sang Hong swiftly beat its wings, with dozens of thin wings flapping at full speed, accelerating the massive bomber to a speed of 2.3 Mach.

Additionally, in the belly of the Luanyang Air-Space Strategic Bomber, the fuselage opened up, slowly raising a close-in weapon system.

This was a 30mm close-in weapon system with 20 barrels, capable of firing up to 20,000 rounds per minute.

Anyone who saw this would likely have their eyes widen in amazement.

Someone actually had the audacity to put a naval close-in weapon system on an aircraft.

Yet, the Luanyang Air-Space Strategic Bomber accomplished exactly this.

Using the Spirit Power Biological Battery, the Luanyang Bomber could provide sufficient power to the close-in weapon system's motors, and its enormous fuselage and load capacity easily accommodated the system, becoming the national shield of the Luanyang Air-Space Bomber.

Zizi!

The Luanyang close-in weapon system's barrel rotated, aiming at the incoming missiles, the barrels rapidly spinning, ejecting a torrent of shells, the dense 30mm machine gun fire resembling a steel storm, obliterating the two incoming air-to-air missiles three kilometers away.

The same scene occurred on several other Luanyang Bombers.

Even with the You Tai Space Army fighting to the death, they could not handle these steel behemoths flying above 50,000 meters.

The Luanyang Air-Space Strategic Bomber's counterattack quickly commenced, with the second wave of air-to-air missiles launched.

Under this round of saturated air-to-air missile attacks by the Luanyang Air-Space Strategic Bombers, the You Tai Country's fighter jets were all wiped out.

This time, Gray wasn't so lucky; his fighter jet was directly blown apart.

He ejected the seat right before the explosion, but the shrapnel from the mid-air exploding and disintegrating jet severed his legs, and at an altitude of tens of thousands of meters, dangling by a parachute, he had no way to stop the bleeding, helplessly watching as blood poured from his severed legs, emitting painful screams.

The loss of substantial amounts of blood quickly darkened Gray's vision.

Suddenly, it seemed as if a huge shadow appeared before his eyes.

It was a rounded, over-a-hundred-meter-long terrifying aircraft, flying with dozens of wings.

"So this is Jieke Group's aircraft, a monster, a monster!"

In the brief flash before death, Gray looked as the Luanyang Air-Space Strategic Bomber, having cleared aerial threats, descended to escort the Genetic Warrior, leaving only one last thought in his mind.

What kind of monstrous aircraft has Jieke Group created!

But Gray would never find out, as he bled out, losing his life, with his body drifting with the parachute, its destination unknown.
