Chapter 51: White Wing's First Battle
10:00 a.m. the next day, Perth International Airport.
The flying ship landed on time, and unlike the main airship of the kingdom that everyone expected, it was the white wings of Liber's special royal ship, the "El Seyu", which represented the crystallization of Liber's highest technology.
Its captain is an old acquaintance of everyone, the captain of the royal guard, Captain Yulia. The investment of this cutting-edge spaceship is the result of Her Majesty's careful consideration, and it can appease the people's emotions, you see that we have even taken out the tools of the town, everyone can rest assured, soon
It can be done. Second, in order to suppress the speed of the dragon, ordinary airships can't bite Regunat at all, and the slightest carelessness of the plan will fail, and with "El Seyu" there is a margin for error.
This operation was the first battle in the true sense of the word, and in order to promote the new cruiser and dispel the uneasiness of the people, the royal family and the military department gave permission to the "Liber Newsletter" to follow the report, and the people who came were the familiar raunchy reporter Nair and off-line glasses
Lady photographer Dorothy.
"Solemnly welcome, guerrilla kings! Welcome to the cruiser El Sejo, which is directly under the Royal Guard. Yulia took two steps forward, stood upright, and gave a standard military salute.
The new engine is running at high speed, and the white wings slowly start up and go straight into the sky.
Above the clouds, the El Seyu flew at a constant speed to the designated location. Two guard boats approached from the side, and the signal lights flashed regularly. "El Seyu" quickly responds with lights, and after receiving the order, the two guard boats change course and disappear into the clouds.
In the conference room of "El Seyu", General Morgan is introducing the synopsis of "Dragon Capture Operation" to the crowd. The reason why it is a summary is that the dragon's actions are unpredictable and need to be acted upon on the fly.
Originally, according to the plan of the military department, it was planned to directly carry out the annihilation operation, but after consulting Her Majesty, the annihilation was changed to capture. After all, dragons are very rare creatures that have appeared in the past generations, and annihilating them is an undesirable outcome for the queen. Of course
This is just a pretext, if there is no connection between the Orsay ** family, which seals the empty treasure, and the ancient dragon "Regunat", who follows the "Ancient Covenant", who believes it?
The operational plan was dominated by air forces, with ground forces responsible for vigilance and defense in various parts of Liber. El Seyu cruises over Perth as the headquarters, and the search for the dragon is carried out by eight garrison airships equipped with wide-area radar. As long as the dragon appears in the sky
, it will be spotted and located, and the airships in the nearby area will follow the dragon, pinning it down with the Grimm Gun and luring it above Lake Valyria.
After the completion of the first stage, the plan was moved to the second stage, and four airships carrying a large number of tranquilizer bombs quickly took off from Reston Fortress to attack the dragon. Pour all the tranquilizer rounds into the dragon's body to make sure he falls unconscious.
In addition, in view of the fact that this incident was triggered by an association, and that the guerrillas also witnessed the appearance of the executors holding the Gospel in their hands, in order to deal with the "Guiding Cessation Phenomenon" caused by the "Gospel", the whole airship must be limited to 10 centimeters away from the mission.
A total of 13 airships were used in this operation, accounting for two-fifths of the regular airships of the Kingdom Air Force, and the scale was not insignificant. Every step of the way is carefully calculated, and there are measures to deal with each situation, and the plan is not unscrupulous.
It's just that the ancient dragon "Regunat" will be so easily subdued?
11:00
"The contact of the Sentinel Ship Merta, the discovery of a dragon near the Maruga Mountain Pass."
"Okay, give the order to the whole army, the battle begins, and the whole crew immediately rushes to the scene!"
“Yessir!”
11:05
The ancient dragon "Regunat", which is as blue as the sky, flapps its wings lightly, and cuts a huge arc through the air. Behind it, dark patrol boats were in hot pursuit.
"This is the Merta, the mission is understood, and it turns to the drag war, the Grimm machine gun, shooting!"
The heavy armor plates on the left and right opened, revealing two hideous machine guns, tongues of fire spewling, hundreds of bullets whistling every second, and countless sparks splashed on the solid scales of the dragon.
"Roar~" Regunat roared up to the sky, machine gun fire was like a mosquito bite to it, no real harm, but it was disturbing. The wings vibrate, stop and turn, and in an instant, they go against the sentry boat!
Once the ancient dragon is allowed to escape, with its speed, there is no possibility for ordinary airships to catch up. But the airship is as difficult to turn as the planes on Earth, and by the time it finishes changing direction, the dragon will have disappeared without a trace.
"This is the "Thor", arrive in the designated airspace, and start the war!"
"This is the Clat, target locked, Grimm machine gun, shooting!"
The army never fought alone, and the two nearest Sentinel Boats to the Merta arrived in time, and the three airships surrounded Regunate in the middle, and the machine guns were intertwined into a fire net, firmly netting the dragon in the center.
"The containment mission is complete, please instruct!"
11:20
"General, where is the place to attack?" Yulia, who received the information, turned around and asked for instructions from the top commander of the operation.
"Although it is to lure it above the lake, it can't be too close to the royal capital." Morgan's eyes swept over the map, "—the location is near the Retna River!" Order the Sentinel to lure the dragon along the riverbank! Attack boats were dispatched immediately! ”
"Yes!" Yulia saluted, "This is the Elseyeu, and the ships in the combat operations are hereby alerted." The attack was set near the Reitna River. The whole patrol boat lures the dragon to the designated location along the river bank according to "Formation B". The all-attack boats immediately took off and rushed to attack
Earth! ”
11:25
"This is Reston Fortress, Roger!"
"Attention departments, I'm Cassius Bright, all attack boats take off, target Retna River!"
“Yessir!”
On the airship flat of Reston Fortress, four attack boats equipped with tranquilizer bombs took off in an orderly manner, and it was planned to move to the second stage.
"I didn't expect 'it' to fall into their hands." At the top of the fortress, Cassius looked solemn, "Just let me go and finish it myself, no, no." If I make a move here, I'm afraid that I will repeat the mistakes of the past hehehe, I and
It seems that it is all on the same side, Riene, I can only ask you Goddess, please be sure to guide us, the subjects who stand on the troubled earth."
11:45
"The all-attack boat has been dispatched, and the preparations are scheduled to be completed at 12:20!"
"Don't activate the El Saiyu and fly to the southwest corner of the attack."
"Yes. The departments of the guidance system took note and quickly activated the "Elseyeu", which was aimed at the southwest corner of the Retna River. ”
The engine was running at high speed, and the surging guiding force poured into the power mechanism of the "El Saiyu", the long tail flame pierced the sky, and the white wings advanced at high speed.
It was the fastest cruiser at the moment, and it didn't take long for it to reach the designated airspace. Ahead, four assault boats lined up, tranquilizer rounds reloaded, aimed in the direction where the dragon was about to appear.
"Okay, let's wait for the dragon to show up. Inform all attack boats and patrol boats to pay attention: Give the order and immediately concentrate fire to attack. General Morgan was enthusiastic.
"Yes!"
12:00
"This is the Klatt, the target is heading northwest, approaching the Kress warning zone!"
"The Kress understands and finds the target, and asks the Medir to assist in the vigilance."
"Medir understands!"
Eight sentinels used a wave relay to contain and induce the dragons, and one broke away from the other to make up for it, always maintaining a situation of three missing one, luring the troubled dragons to the Retna River.
The ship's radar can already detect the dragon's signal, and the attack boat methodically fine-tunes the barrel of the gun to lock on!
5,4,3,2,1!
“Fire!”
General Morgan gave the order, and the barrel of the cannon that was ready to fire let out a series of roars, and the tranquilizer shells were fired in full force, hitting the dragon with a coefficient, and nothing was missed.
"Roar~~~" Regunat let out a painful roar, his body curled up and twisted abnormally. It flapped its wings and tried to maintain its balance, but it could not resist the drowsiness that rose higher than the waves, and it lost consciousness and landed straight on the River of Retna, setting off waves in waves.
The ancient dragon "Regunat" falls!
