Like a falling sun, the heat generated by the friction between the flames of the thrusters and the air instantly ignited the airbags above the airship, turning it into a huge fireball.

But even so, the airship, which resolutely chose to die with the enemy, did not hesitate, and even though it was burned to expose the frame and keel of the hull, it still crashed straight into the city below.

In the shocking sound of cannons, the airship that had been standing high in the air fell to the ground.

With a series of explosions on the hull itself, the ammunition depot loaded with a large number of air-to-ground bombs and incendiary bombs exploded.

An explosion so loud that it could be heard even at high altitude, accompanied by a huge ball of flames, completely shattered the already shattered airship, and all but a few large wreckage were swept away by the shock wave from the explosion.

On the other hand, in addition to the destruction of the falling airship itself, a large area of the urban area centered on the location of the airboat falling was also a mess that was not covered by ground artillery fire and survived, which was later destroyed by the bombing of the airship ammunition depot.

It is no exaggeration to say that the actual operation was more successful than expected.

Not to mention the direct damage caused by the downed airship itself, an explosion like this would be devastating in an unhindered city.

If everything goes so well, even if only half of the empty ships are lost, it will be enough to complete the mission.

With the demonstration of the first airship, the captains of the other airships who received their own airships seemed to react and crashed straight into the city below.

From the moment the first airship was sacrificed on its own initiative, the outcome was decided.

In fact, with the fall of the first airboat, the armored forces waiting below will pour out, and after the second round of artillery fire is over, they will fully invade the city, driving every enemy inside into the encirclement they have already prepared.

At that time, even if that group of people really has the ability to turn the world upside down, Ole will have the confidence to crush them all to death.

The intruders who attacked the airship must have panicked when they saw the airship falling downward, would they have abandoned the ship and fled, or would they have perished with it?

Maybe I'll try to pull it up in vain.

The thought of their desperate looks makes one want to laugh out loud.

"Report, news from the Ministry of Intelligence that our department has detected signs of activity of the enemy's main force in the city, according to our analysis, the enemy's main force should be carrying out a retreat operation, sir, this is our chance, please give an order!"

Finally can't take it anymore?

Facing the report of the communication soldier, Ole sighed and then waved his hand and said, "Leave them alone, let them go." ”

"Sir," a brigadier general who didn't know what his intentions were, took the document from the communications soldier's hand, skimmed through the contents and said, "According to the intelligence we have investigated, both personnel and equipment are undoubtedly the main force of the enemy, is it really okay not to guide them?"

Indeed, in a way, this is indeed the enemy's main force, and if they are eliminated, even the guy called the Unbreakable Shield will be very painful.

However, what he wants to do this time is to destroy the enemy, not to wear down the enemy's combat strength.

"It doesn't matter if you don't have to do the work of guidance, let those 'main forces' hit their heads for a few moments, and still find the right way, and tell the ambushed troops that if the enemy breaks through, leave them alone, just let them go directly. ”

If this is a chess game, the Grand Duke of Salas, known as the Unbreakable Shield, who sits across from him, is a very tricky opponent who thinks steadily and defensively, and makes people not do their best, and even if they try their best, they can't find a flaw.

But it is precisely because of this that it is actually easier than imagined to deal with or kill him.

This enemy army, which seemed to have gathered the enemy's strongest remaining combat force and was called the so-called main force, was nothing more than a dog and a bait used by Salas to step on the mines.

And he dared to boldly say that not only this so-called main force, like some strange whereabouts of the light cavalry, the commando composed of the enemy's command, the sudden appearance of unknown bandits, the advancing refugees in the city, the surrendered troops suspected of the enemy and the seemingly broken troops holding the city, in fact, the remnants of the army who hoped to be selectively ignored by Ole in this way.

It won't be long before a target like this that should be focused on will be pouring out like a holiday giveaway, without money.

However, as dazzling as it was, there was absolutely no rabbit he wanted to catch in these many holes.

That's right, absolutely.

Then why was he so sure that the Salas he was looking for must not be mixed in?

The reason is simple, because these practices seem to work, but they are all risky.

And as Salas, who has escaped countless encirclements and suppressions, and has continued to gather teams and develop in the process, any risk must not be taken.

This is especially true at a time when life and death are the kind of time that is the difference between life and death.

If it were him, he would definitely choose the safest, safest and safest way to escape from this encirclement.

And in this case, what is the safest way to escape, this is the question that Aole has to think about now.

"It is reported that the second round of artillery fire preparations has been completed, and our armored units will arrive in the local occupied area within twenty minutes. ”

Is it already over?

Ole looked up, and at some point, the continuous shelling had come to an abrupt end, and the assault from the enemy had completely stopped after the fall of the ninth airboat.

The entire battlefield was completely silent as if someone had turned off the switch, except for the few remaining empty ships that were suspended alone above the city, proving their existence by dropping incendiary bombs from time to time.

And with the end of the attack, and the city that had basically been razed to the ground by the bombing, what he had expected happened.

Suspicious targets appeared in their sight one after another, as if they were about to swear their existence, and kept doing some exaggerated things.

As a chess game, it has now entered the end of the end.

And whether the result is a decisive general, or a helpless general, just in this moment.

We must not disappoint the expectations of the master and Mr. President.

As if he could wring out water, Ole's expression was gloomy and terrifying.

There must be some flaw in this.

An unbreakable shield, absolutely non-existent!

As the minutes ticked by, Ole's head was a mess, but he still forced himself to keep thinking.

The captain's room was surprisingly quiet at this time, and everyone stayed quietly in their places, as if they were afraid of disturbing his thinking, and even their breathing became cautious.

"The fog was really heavy this morning, and it didn't rain yesterday. At this time, an inconspicuous small talk sounded in the captain's room.

Except for Ole, all of them subconsciously turned their heads, as if they were going to cut each other with a thousand knives, and stared at the owner of the voice viciously,

The two didn't notice the atmosphere at all, and walked in with coffee and chatting.

"How, how...... Oops, it's wrong!" Looking at his superiors who were glaring at him with malicious expressions, the major muttered strangely, and then was surprised to find out that the two of them had gone to the wrong room, and hurriedly ran out in a series of apologies.

"Check it for me! Find out for me that those two headless things belong to that unit, and lock them up for a year!"

“…… Hahaha. ”

Just as a major general was gritting his teeth and scolding, Ole, who was originally contemplative, suddenly laughed.

"I'm a complete idiot," he said to his subordinates in a self-deprecating manner.

The self-made smart thinks that he is in control, then he thinks he has made the best choice, and finally he thinks he is smart and starts to measure other people's cities.

I'm such a complete idiot.

Facing his strange-looking subordinates, he said: "Inform the ground forces, including the ambush forces, to start closing the net, and this time, we lost." ”

That's right, a complete loss.

He is too confident in his encirclement, thinking that all he needs to do is trap the enemy in the city and force them to jump into his encirclement.

This is really a pretty brainless idea.

"What! failed...... Sir, isn't it too early to talk about failure or something?"

"It's too early? He sighed and said, "The enemy should have fled in the morning fog." ”

Ole thinks that he is one step ahead of others in all his decisions, so he makes the wrong decisions with impunity.

"I should have found out earlier, and the other side has long known that staying where you are is no different from waiting for death, so from the very beginning, their goal was not to defend but to break through. ”

Then it becomes clear why food and water sources, which should have been heavily protected, are so easily destroyed.

Because there's no point in doing that.

From the very beginning, it was decided to only bring a small number of people to break through, so as long as the minimum amount of food is saved, it doesn't matter if the rest is destroyed, and the opponent will fight with this in mind.

From the very beginning, the enemy's intentions were misanalyzed, and the result was that he was the only one dancing in the palm of his hand.

It's a great irony.

But

"The unbreakable shield of the steady empire is really just a casual joke," Orle said disdainfully to himself.

Because, didn't you choose the most dangerous path for your life, Nino Salas?

"But a loss is a loss," he looked up, and the ghost changed to a very hearty and uplifting tone, "It's not a shame to face your mistakes. ”

However, there will never be a next time.

He turned his back to the group, his hands clenched into fists unwillingly.

I have to grow up and grow up to not make such childish mistakes again.

Grow enough to be recognized by the master and Mr. President.

Grow enough to be on your own.
