"Order the bombers to take off and blow up all the buildings they can see."

In the present era, old forts and batteries are still using the mature experience accumulated in thousands of years of warfare, and they have somewhat failed to keep up with the pace of technological innovation in weapons, in other words, their designers have largely ignored the possibility of being attacked by formed air forces.

There is an old world adage that all preparations for war today are made for the last war. The most typical is that the Gallic chickens painstakingly built an impregnable Maginot Line during the First World War, only to be bypassed by Hanscat's light tactical detour after the outbreak of World War II, which can be described as extremely ironic.

The traditional air cavalry, which is mainly used for reconnaissance and battlefield shelter missions in the New World, has weak ground attack capabilities, not only limited bomb load, but also poor bombing accuracy, and in the face of this kind of air threat, it is difficult for fortresses and castles to have any incentive to strengthen air defense. At this time, the pirate fighters advanced and bombed almost without resistance, and the small arms that fired sporadically at the air were removed by the pilots in the first round of air raids, and the next battle was not fundamentally different from what they had to do on the training ground.

"Boom—"

A dive-down heavy armor-piercing projectile penetrated through the crater at the top of the white stone fort, and with the help of the massive impact force of gravity, the bomb penetrated the roof of the ammunition depot and then detonated with a delayed fuse. Suddenly, the golden flame seemed to rise like the rising sun, and a twisted and dancing mushroom cloud appeared on the horizon.

Luo Zhengdao witnessed this scene from the command platform of the cruiser several miles away, and he could feel the scorching heat from such a distance, and he could figure out what it would be like to be close to the explosion site.

"It's going so smoothly!"

The resistance of the goblin defenders cannot be said to be untenacious, even those forts and castles destroyed by pirate fighters are still shooting frantically before the ammunition is stored inside, and there is no intention of giving up resistance. However, in Luo Zhengdao's feelings, this dying resistance was far from the iron-blooded style of the Goblin Second Empire. Having suffered from the enemy's attack and humiliation, if the goblins did not fight back with ten times and a hundred times the strength, it would be in vain for Luo Zhengdao to pay a heavy price for all these years of dealing with them. Goblins, who have always regarded themselves as high-minded, never give in lightly in front of their opponents, and their weak posture at this time is unreasonable, and there seems to be other reasons behind it.

"Are the greenskins really out of their power, or are they set up for me to drill into?"

Thinking of this section, Luo Zhengdao, who narrowed his eyes, fell silent, even when his subordinates presented good news, he only nodded to indicate that he knew, and instead devoted all his energy to figuring out the mysterious movements of the goblin.

"Will, what do you think that's that?"

Stretching the monoculars to the limit can only see vague shadows, the distance between the two sides is too far, although the innate eyesight level of the half-elf beauty is better than Luo Zhengdao, she can't say what she sees. There was no need to hesitate, and it was determined that the artillery mirror would not be effective, so Luo Zhengdao immediately pulled Vina Dubov to the chart room and activated the True Vision Crystal that saved Zài, which had a much stronger viewing distance than most optical telescopes.

Seeing those images clearly, Luo Zhengdao couldn't help gritting his teeth and said in a low voice:

"I know this style of clothing...... Vina, remember? In the Fairy Garden, we meet a mysterious figure. ”

Hearing this, Vina Dubov reflexively touched her arm, which instantly had countless small bumps, and the half-elf beauty said with palpitations:

"Yes, I remember. Ralph Del, that wicked and disgusting worm mage! ”

Almost identical black costumes and silver masks, assuming that these guys are the same as that Ralph, then the ultra-luxurious team of more than thirty worm mages is undoubtedly a powerful armed force capable of subverting a small and medium-sized country.

You know, although the worm mage is an undead creature, they are very different from the cheap cannon fodder that can be pulled by a casual spin in the Sea of Death, and the way the worm mage is stored is more similar to the lich form, of course, a copycat version of the lich. Those mages who unfortunately suffered an unexpected death were unwilling to disappear and refused to go to the underworld or the kingdom of the gods, but instead used their powerful spiritual power to bind and enslave the mollusks that gnawed their corpses, and controlled the dead bodies to walk in the world again, thus giving birth to the special profession of worm mages.

In terms of pure evil, if a clergyman belonging to the good camp of the order encounters these creatures who are red and purple under the detection of the aura, and does not rush to purify them at the first time, he commits a great crime of blasphemy.

Vena Dubov smiled wryly and sighed:

"Not only that, there's another team over there!"

Luo Zhengdao, who was speechless, touched his chin in a tangled mood and pondered, filtering all the possibilities in his mind one by one, hoping to find a solution as much as possible.

"Well, did the goblins use prophecy to anticipate my actions? No, it shouldn't be, the power of the card master will interfere with the prophecy, they are predicting the movements of other people around me, and indirectly evaluate my plan of action! ”

A few thoughts flashed in his mind, Luo Zhengdao quickly calmed down, no matter how bad the situation is, it is nothing more than a big fight, who is afraid of whom! Immediately, laughing, he walked out of the chart room, came to the deck, waved his hand, and said:

"Listen, everyone, order our fighters to return home, reload heavy rockets, and deliver long-range strikes beyond the cast range of those mages."

One force to ten meetings, this is the experience summed up by the martial artists of the old world, and it is also very suitable for resting on the battlefield. The mages of the new world are powerful exporters, yes, and they have always enjoyed the reputation of being their own sons among professionals, and a very small number of famous legendary mages can even be called one-man legions, and a legendary level mage can single-handedly suppress an army head-on.

That being said, most low-level Arcanists are not suitable for frontal combat, and the reason for this is simple, they can't fight large long-range weapons at range, especially weapons like artillery, which can basically ensure that the mages can launch a round of fierce fire scrubbing outside of their maximum cast range, or even outside of their naked eye. If you have to use your flesh and blood to fight against the weapons of war composed of metal and stone bullets, if you are not desperate and have no other choice, this kind of second-hand mage can only be called a broken skull.

The situation of the worm mages is obviously different, they are already dead in nature, relatively speaking, these guys do not have much to protect at the physical level, and it is difficult for pure physical strikes to work. For this reason, Luo Zhengdao had to hope that the deflagration effect of the air-launched rocket would work, otherwise, he could only sacrifice the hole card of the magic card.

The pirate fighter with a simple appearance like a child's toy is not much better than the similar aircraft made of wood and canvas in the Old World War, and the metal in the New World is more expensive, so you can imagine how strange the aircraft born under this kind of economy first design idea must be born. Thankfully, the New World has many times more natural materials than the Old World, and pirate warplanes made of light, tough, and hard wood, silk and canvas will not fall off as they fly, or even if they are directly attacked.

"Buzz Buzz ......"

"Every day, every day......"

The air-to-ground rockets launched by the pirate fighters are much more powerful than the common air-to-air types, each rocket is filled with 50 pounds of stone pine powder and 40 pounds of naphtha, and a universal fuse that is so sharp that no one dares to land with a bullet. Each pirate fighter can only carry two heavy rockets, and after firing it, it has to rush home, and in order to carry this powerful ground attack weapon, even the rotary gun and shooter for self-defense are removed, unless the pilot is required to learn the kamikaze, otherwise it is useless to leave the bomber over the battlefield after the bomb has been dropped.

After nearly ten minutes of indiscriminate bombardment, Luo Zhengdao approached the artillery mirror and took a closer look, then he straightened up with a dark face and said:

"Isn't that okay? The bombers were ordered to cover the retreat of the fleet, dropping bombs as high as possible at high altitudes. ”

"Yes, Your Highness."

Conventional weapons are ineffective against those who wear the same outfit as Ralph the Worm Mage, perhaps because the opponent has pre-positioned the defenses, or some kind of visual error has distorted the position of the pirate fighter's ground strike, and for whatever reason, Luo Zhengdao feels that it is not good. The question is, at this time, if you plan to withdraw and leave, can the bitter goblin make the fat that is sent to your mouth slip away? It is impossible to think with the toes, they hate to have to dip the condiment to devour some two-legged scourge alive, and tell the goblins to watch Will Needham run away from under their noses, and this kind of good thing should be saved until the time of dreaming!

Sure enough, just as Luo Zhengdao was about to open the way and turn in, a little white sail shadow appeared on the sea in the distance, and the lookout hand had top-notch good eyes, and immediately raised a loud alarm that it was the goblin fleet coming.

"Is that the Goblin Fleet?"

I don't know who muttered, Luo Zhengdao didn't go to his heart, will he still have the leisure to think about the details at this point? Turning his head, he shouted:

"Where's our ironclad?"

"I don't know, maybe it's been isolated outside, you know, the ironclad fleet must increase its speed, otherwise it will be trapped by the superior number of enemy warships."

The first mate on the side replied, which made Luo Zhengdao's face even more ugly, and he said:

"Launch flares and contact Commander Crimson."
