Three soldiers, two agents, and one soy sauce player, six people with N guns, a quick and fierce shot, easily crushed the "Mule Driver Battle Group" of the Norman Empire.

Knowing that the remnants of the enemy had fled back to the woodland in a panic, Dr. Z breathed a sigh of relief, and he kissed their foreheads one by one, carrying a suitcase in one hand and his wife and daughter in the other, and whispered to comfort them.

The battle is over, but the crisis has not been resolved, and there should still be a sniper, one or two officers on the enemy's side, and perhaps a few wounded soldiers who have not completely lost their combat effectiveness, and once they leave the cabin, they may still be shot at any time. In addition, three of the six escorts were seriously injured, and the long journey was a problem. If Weiss, the young man in black, and another warrior were allowed to escort Dr. Z's family to Vault 9, the middle-aged man in black and the remaining two warriors felt that it was not safe enough. After a brief discussion, they unanimously decided to wait for the arrival of the cruiser in the cabin - it had not received a target in Shelter 9, and it must search in the direction of the border, and if it came into sight, it could be summoned with the agreed flare.

Regarding the cruiser, Weiss asked a few questions sideways, and determined that it was a kind of flying machine, which was large, could carry people and fight, was equipped with artillery, could fly to very high altitudes, and did not require much from the landing field. Judging from this information, it seems to be a very advanced rigid airship, and it may also be a completely unknowable existence. Weiss wanted to ask more questions related to it, but when he saw the middle-aged man in black looking at him, something was wrong, so he had to give up halfway. After all, a cadet of a top military academy can't even figure out the equipment of his country's army, which is unreasonable.

Since they had made up their minds to wait for the cruiser in the cabin, Weiss and the others stayed in the cabin without leaving an inch, gathered the stones left over from the fireplace, made a fire with firewood and broken wood, and made some hot food to replenish their strength.

After waiting for more than three hours, the soldier in charge of the lookout finally reported in an excited tone: "Our cruiser is here!" ”

With great curiosity, Weiss rose to the call. As seen by the naked eye, it was nothing more than a slow-moving gray dot in the blue sky, but in the magnified field of view through the telescope, it was a light gray flying object that looked like a battleship but was different from ordinary warships. It has a row of chimneys erected above it, and as it travels, it emits a gradually rising and spreading ribbon of smoke, with a number of oars on each side......

This is really a strange four-like!

Weiss narrowed his eyes, waited until the red box jumped out, and couldn't help but be startled when he saw the values inside.

Biofunction 440.9/440.9

Mental vitality 813.4/843.1

Combat potential 3085.2-9733.6

Equivalent protection 1916.4-3977.56

Action speed 178.5-854.6

The numbers of this group almost dazzled him, and the order of magnitude was a staggering explosion compared to the previous creatures or weapon individuals. Killing, defense, and output are easy to understand, and there are also data on the physical vitality and mental vitality of this flying battleship, which seems to be only understood as the total value of the ship's crew.

After the fighters on their side fired orange flares into the air, the "cruiser" adjusted its course and flew straight to this side.

At first glance, Weiss thought that this big flying creature might be a chic, hard-style airship, but the chimney on top of it kept spewing out black smoke, which was clearly a sight only a locomotive and a ship powered by a coal-fired steam engine!

As the distance closes, the scene in the telescope continues to magnify, and Weiss's physics knowledge is indescribably impacted: under the sunlight, each part of it reflects the unique luster of homogeneous steel plates, the rivets all over the body show the unique flavor of the steam age, and the protruding position in its bow is a pair of twin guns that can be moved up and down, with several open guns on the foredeck, and then a closed bridge, with a pair of outline guns on the left and right sides, and "oars" sticking out from both sides of the hull. It was supposed to be a steering thruster with fan blades at the end......

Obviously, this is indeed a steel battleship, but how exactly did they get such a guy to fly into the sky?

Weiss was digesting the contradictions in his thinking brought about by the incredible sight before him, when a warrior exclaimed, "Ha, the Norman dog has slipped away!" ”

Looking in the opposite direction, you can indeed see that there are people in white in the forest retreating towards the northwest, which is a happy thing, but for some reason, Weiss is faintly worried, the real threat is still hidden somewhere, patiently waiting for the last chance to kill, but ...... I may be so nervous that I am a little suspicious.

Weiss relieved himself as he turned his attention back to the flying battleship. According to the distance and time estimates, it moves at a speed of about 100 kilometers per hour, which is faster than most sea ships and land vehicles, and its flight altitude drops from the initial three or four thousand meters to two or three hundred meters, and it takes only 20 minutes or so. If the payload capacity of these flying warships is similar to that of ships at sea, then there is no doubt that their strategic value far exceeds that of any known weapon, and they are the kings of war in this world!

It flew closer and closer, huge shadows in the sunlight over the snow-capped mountains and over the woodlands, and the dull roar of machinery was clearly discernible. When the whole cabin was shrouded in the shadow it cast, Weiss was able to intuitively feel the majesty and domineering of the so-called flying battleship, and he suddenly felt like a creature living underwater, and he looked up and watched the steamer on the surface of the water sail by, his head full of shock and consternation.

The least wounded fighter walked out of the cabin and waved at the flying battleship hovering at an altitude of 100 meters. Suddenly, a square hanging basket for seven or eight people was lowered, and inside were two soldiers wearing fur hats and leather jackets.

The order of boarding was not negotiable, the two men in black protected Dr. Z's family and left first, while Weiss and the three soldiers stayed for the second trip.

The two servicemen who came down from the ship, dressed in leather coats and hats, looked very warm. One of them, who remained on the ground and did not return with the basket, was slightly shorter than Weiss, five large and three thick, and had a thick beard. The man looked inside and outside the hut, and said angrily, "Yes, men, you have killed almost twice as many enemies as you...... Ho, look at these Norman dogs, they are all domineering on weekdays, only when they die, they are a little human. ”

Of the three wounded fighters, the blonde one looked relatively older, and he spread his hands and said, "Twice? Sir! If you go to the surrounding woods, we are facing at least two detachments of Norman dogs, and mulemen who they have forcibly sent into battle! All of us ran out of bullets and survived with captured weapons and ammunition. The difficulty of the battle is completely beyond the imagination of ordinary people! ”

"Bearded" nodded solemnly, and then pointed to Weiss, who was dressed as a civilian, and asked, "Who is this guy?" ”

"Your name is Dragon Clumber Hazen, right?" The relatively older warrior turned his gaze to Weiss, "The heir to the local gun-making family, oh yes, or a student at the Gaston Military Academy?" ”

"Yes." Weiss replied in the affirmative.

"Bearded" then looked Weiss up and down: "Then you are also a member of this special plan of action?" ”

Weiss didn't know how to answer safely, and the "blonde" hesitated for a moment, and replied on his behalf: "When we first got into trouble, the dragon caught the enemy sniper and helped us get out of trouble, and then the pursuers came to the rescue, and the dragon fought side by side with us, and performed very well, and he saved us once again with his courage and wisdom. All of us can testify to this. ”

"Yes, sir, he's definitely good." The other two warriors immediately chimed in.

"Bearded" said nonchalantly: "In this special operation, the operation and secrecy level are all special, and once unrelated people are involved, they will definitely be interrogated and investigated by the military intelligence department, so you have to keep these words to the people in the military intelligence department." I'm just casually asking, there is still a lot of space on the ship, and I don't mind having more or less temporary passengers. ”

After that, he glanced at the corpses of the fallen in the room: "As for these warriors who sacrificed their lives for the country, I have two suggestions for you: one is to cremate them on the spot, and the other is to submit an application to their superiors after returning to arrange for their bodies to be repatriated." ”

The "blonde haired and blue-eyed" stared wide-eyed, looking incredulous, but did not say anything to argue, but another brown-haired, brown-eyed, white-skinned soldier shouted: "They sacrificed their lives for the country and died a heroic death, we should take them back one by one, hold a military funeral, and bury them in the martyrs' cemetery, how can we say that they stayed here, were blown away by the mountain wind, or were torn by wild beasts?" ”

"Bearded" lowered his head and touched his nose: "Young man, what you are talking about is tradition, practice, not law or military law. We're on a double mission, and it's impossible for us to stay here to transport the bodies of the dead when the target has already boarded the ship, it's too dangerous! I'm sorry! ”

"Brown-haired and brown-eyed" said angrily: "Sir, if you were personally involved in this battle, you will know how brave our brothers are and how loyal they are to this country!" If you've been involved in the battle, you'll know how tragic their death was, and you won't care about delaying for half an hour to bring them back and let their souls rest in peace! ”

"Bearded" glared, "Watch your words, soldier!" You're talking to an officer! ”

"Brown hair and brown eyes" puffed up and stopped talking.

"Bearded" didn't seem to hold a grudge, he shook his head helplessly, raised his hand to look at his watch, and said, "I'll give you five more minutes at most, and, if needed, I can ask them to send a few barrels of kerosene down, huh?" ”

The blonde knew that this matter was non-negotiable, and after exchanging glances with the two surviving companions, he said helplessly: "Then, Mr. Officer, please help us get some kerosene." Even if we can't bring them back, we must not let them be bitten by wild beasts and end up with no bones left! ”

Then he said to Weiss, "Come on! Dragon, help us carry our own people into the house and carry the Norman dog out. ”

Weiss understood what he meant, and responded without hesitation.

The soldiers of the Ulster Free Federation Army, who were ordered to meet Dr. Z, were 17 when they came, and 14 were killed, although the corpses were incomplete, they could be identified one by one at this time, while the Norman soldiers who died in the battle around the wooden house were 15, and there should be about 40 scattered in the outer open areas and mountains.

The battle loss ratio of 1 to 4 does not reflect the fierceness of this battle.

Five minutes is a short time, only enough to lift the basket once. "Bearded" returned to the cruiser and asked two crew members to bring four barrels of kerosene to help pour them on the wooden house. In the end, the "blonde and blue-eyed" personally lit the fire, and the soldiers supported each other to climb into the hanging baskets. As they lifted off the ground and into the air, the fire grew bigger and bigger, but the silhouette of the cabin was still clearly visible, and the survivors of the brutal battle, including Weiss, burst into tears.

As the basket rose at a constant speed, Weiss and the others got closer and closer to the flying battleship, and when they looked up, various details came into view: its bottom outline was similar to that of a bathtub, the corners were transitioned in a full arc, and the bottom was almost completely straight except for two "tibia" from bow to stern. As if for the sake of overall protection, the flying battleship did not leave an entrance at the bottom, but instead extended a crane from the side to retract the manned gondola.

Judging from the appearance, every steel plate of this flying battleship is fixed with thick rivets, and given that the mature welding technology is lighter and stronger than riveting, it can be judged that the industrial level of this era is roughly equivalent to that of the earthlings in the early twentieth century. At the beginning of the twentieth century, the earthlings used light gas to make airships and aerodynamic forces to develop airplanes.

The answer should be found on this flying battleship.
