Chapter VI: The New Seventh Army Corps (II)

Speaking of which, although the 'Royal Princess' is the first space carrier to be put into practical use, the composition of the force is quite unreliable, except for the most basic 1,000 people, most of the others are citizens who come to serve as soldiers for the sake of salary and future sharing. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Lorraine had been prepared for this for a long time, but it was the lack of commanders and the poor quality that made people worry...... First of all, the Marine Corps can rest assured that with Kalinin in command, Uncle as Chief of Staff, and Twen, and Sam as Force Commanders, the number of Marines is the largest on the entire mothership, reaching as many as 3,000 people, although the combat effectiveness and training level are very worrying.

In terms of supernatural abilities, Lorraine, who is completely inexperienced, can only ask Irene, as the captain of the panacea, to be responsible for the maintenance of the magic guide machinery, and to lead the treatment and combat of mages and priests, but it should be fine...... Right?

Next, the engineering department and everything will be thrown to the new members Malone and Yuri, although Yuri has made it clear that he will leave when he arrives in Transvania, at least he can help for now, if you don't mention all kinds of messes and leaks in three days, they are not too bad.

Then there's the rotorcraft on the main deck, and there are 30 test planes that aren't too fast, but at least they won't be easily knocked down by magic, and the problem is that they don't have much attack power! The load capacity is also not optimistic, and only 3 Marines can be delegated at a time, which is too little, so Lorraine has to call a bunch of people to discuss, and Admiral Catherine, who has always had nothing to do, finally came into play.

"You little kids don't understand anything, so you drive the test ship to the battlefield, are you full!?" Catherine found an opportunity to immediately turn into a stern female teacher, wearing the professional clothes of the afterlife from nowhere, and roaring loudly with a teaching whip.

As a student, of course, it is the officers at all levels on the main deck, with a serious and serious study appearance, if you ignore the envious eyes of the girls, as well as the green eyes of the boys, it is indeed a very harmonious state of class.

"Listen, although there is a difference between a space battleship and a surface battleship, there is absolutely not much difference in terms of shelling! I'll be in charge of teaching your artillerymen what is called the pride of the kingdom's navy, and as for the firepower of the aircraft that Commander Lorraine said, can't you mages add rockets to them? ”

"Report teacher, what is a rocket?" In response to Lorraine's question, many of the mages present nodded their heads and said that they didn't know what it was, and Catherine could only explain them one by one, finally letting all the magic professionals understand this kind of good thing.

Rockets are cheap, instantaneous, and have a wide range of good things, which have been available since ancient times, but at that time the power was really not enough, and the army liked to use fuel clay pots to attack under the same circumstances, so Lorraine and others had to hire professionals to help make them together, leaving a bunch of white strips of Archduke Luther by the way.

Considering that after the rocket nest is successfully equipped, it may cross to the air battle, Irene also turned out the legendary repeating weapon blueprint from the pile of drawings from Pierlofa - magic version of the machine gun, in fact, the improved name should be called the continuous excitation magic guided missile device, and the transformation is completed and installed on the rotorcraft is the so-called magic missile nest, with the temporary transformation of the green magic helmet and goggles can be used for targeted shooting, the effective number reaches 50 rounds, as long as there is magic power, it can be quickly filled is really a good thing, huh...... In addition to the helmet color.

After the drivers protested very seriously, Lorraine originally thought that Irene would be violently suppressed, but she didn't expect the large Lori to show her grievances, and said glutinously: "Are the big brothers blaming Erin?" It's so sad...... "You have to admit that even if it's an expired large Lori,It's still not difficult to sell cuteness and ask for sympathy.,Because of the clean voice.、Soft body、Forehead...... It was difficult to push down, and the chief of staff was smiling and playing with the wheel tomahawk around him, and finally the driver agreed to the equipment.

After the addition of the rocket nest and the missile nest, the weight of the rotorcraft increased greatly, even if the weight reduction magic was used, it was useless, and after the final finalization, it was equipped with two weapons in pairs, which were dismantled during the carrying mission, and could barely cope with the needs of the marines, although it was much faster to transport the 3,000-man marines to the ground than to train them directly to absolute......

The last problem was in the command fortress, Admiral Catherine was not sure that she would teach Princess Josephine to learn to drive immediately, and had to tell Her Highness as much as possible about her experience, but compared with the changeable air currents in the air and the currents in the sea, it was a little far behind, and I wish them a smooth teaching.

As for the personal qualities of Commander Lorraine, he can only run around the entire battleship, learn as much as he wants, and at the same time he is also responsible for setting up the forward base of the Son of Heaven on the ship to help others with their work.

After such slow training, and scavenging for supplies by the way, he finally reached the sky 10 kilometers away from the castle in the Rocky Mountains a month later.

After a month of running-in, the members of the Royal Princess at all levels still had some effect, although the shelling was always inaccurate, the gathering speed of the marines was too slow and the orders were easy to be confused, the chaos of the engineering department was only expanded but not reduced, there were always collision accidents in rotorcraft training, and the quality of mages and priests was greatly improved.

Fortunately, the combat effectiveness has been improved, and now is their first battle, for which all the officers are in full array, and 2,000 marines are transported to the ground as the main force of advancement, but this seemingly 'simple' tactical command is simply laughable to execute.

First of all, abseiling in the air was originally a necessary training, but unfortunately the pilot Princess Josephine was really tender and could not be a novice in the tender, and she was completely unsure that the Royal Princess hovered at a suitable height from the ground, which even Admiral Catherine could not do, after all, the profession was not right.

The airboat had to reduce its speed to the minimum and put the soldiers down first, which accidentally rubbed the hull of the ship, causing several non-combat injuries to several engineers and technicians, and the reason for the attrition was actually due to slipping......

"Are you all idiots!? I've put a warning that there are still people slipping, and the skateboarding shoes they are wearing, rubbing against the bottom? Lorraine's complaint represents all kinds of resentment, and the marines have finally been put on the ground, and the cavalry sent by the enemy who connected the castle is almost there.

Mario Knight has been an elite knight officer of the House of Ostran for many years and has a wealth of combat experience, and since the nobles sent the old emperor to kill and authorized them to hunt down Princess Josephine and his party, he knew that his opportunity had come.

Although the intelligence told the other party that he had built a huge air warship with the help of the Francois, Mario didn't care, it was nothing more than a large ship, and he could do it by sending the air knight to throw some bombs at will, but after he really got close to the enemy, he found that the other party's ship was really big, "...... The Royal Princess? It's a shame that they dare to write like that. Mario muttered quietly.

"My lord, I don't know what to do next? The enemy doesn't seem to have completed the formation yet, as long as the knights can destroy each other with one charge, isn't it ......" The words of his subordinates are very correct, but Mario is not an ordinary person after all, he decided to send the griffin knights to test the depth of the other party first.

So, the first battle of the modern magic mechanical air force against the traditional air knights started in this remote corner, and through magic detection to discover the approach of a group of griffin knights, Lorraine urgently sent a rotorcraft unit, just in case he actually drove a heavily armed rotorcraft to fight, and directly lost the command task to the angry Admiral Catherine, and rushed into the sky with the blessing of his girlfriend princess.

"Damn it! Lorraine, what an idiot! How can a corps commander leave his duties and go to the front line for short-range combat! “

"Sister Catherine, don't be angry, you see that the enemy is coming, should I take off quickly?"

"Don't make a mess! The Marines haven't all come down yet, and if you fly now, the legions will be completely destroyed! ”

Catherine roared, hesitated, and ordered: "All members, first-level combat alert!" The guns are wide open, the battle mages are in place, and the medical and damage management departments are on standby! ”

"Understood, the battle mage is in place, but the Admiral is we really going to fight?" This is the question of the little mage on duty, and I can hear that these rookies are very nervous, "Don't talk nonsense, listen to my orders, or I'll stuff you into the biggest cannon barrel and shoot out!" ”

"Good...... Yes, Your Excellency! ”

There was nothing wrong with the others, and apparently Catherine's temper was still very intimidating, as for Lorraine and the other gyrocopter pilots, they didn't think so.

"Listen, rely on the helmet to find the enemy, according to the three-on-one in the training, I have formed a good team to aim and fight!"

"Yes sir!"

"This is Fox No. 3, who will form a team?"

"Idiot! Go find Fox No. 1! ”

"What time did I go, sir, help me......"

A feeling of powerlessness shrouded in my heart, after all, there was too little training, and it was really difficult to make the pilot understand air combat, not to mention that Lorraine himself was only based on the air combat regulations summarized by later movies and information circulating on the Internet, and no one knew if it would work.

After the roaring gyrocopter continued to appear in a lot of confusion, it was still the griffin knights who attacked first, and the magic missile nest was activated one after another, and a large number of blue missiles launched an attack on the enemy in the sky.

Captain Carl originally thought that Mario Knight's order was too boring, and the precious air knight actually wanted to throw bombs, but the other party was the commander, and he had to take his seven griffin knights into the air.

Then he saw dozens of strange machines with huge rotors and noises actually flying up to attack them, and considering the possible attack, Carl still let his griffin companion dodge the flank, which saved his life.

The speed of the blue magic missile is almost the same as the speed of the griffin, and the faint magic fluctuations also made the remaining knights not react, which instantly made the seven knights who did not react bad luck, and no one was spared under the high-speed collision, even if the magic props could be guarded for a while, but there was nothing they could do to resist so many missiles, so in the first round of time, except for Carl, the griffin knights were all destroyed.

Scared into a cold sweat, Carl watched his men fall to the ground in various strange postures, from this point of view there was no rescue value at all, and soon a gyroplane with a shark head and the No. 1 logo would kill his companions with a fierce momentum.

Carl screamed and hurriedly threw the bomb and began his escape, which was seen by Mario and the Marines on the ground.

I saw that the griffin knight was chased by the gyroplane, sometimes rolling and flipping to avoid a wave of missile attacks, sometimes diving sharply and then pulling up to make a gorgeous move to throw off the nearest gyroplane, the action was gorgeous, and the battle was aware of the position, but there was no chance to launch a counterattack, and the reduced gyrocopter simply ran out of ammunition before leaving.

In the end, the griffin knight managed to escape back to the castle, and in the face of the castle troops who were ready to defend, Lorraine could only ask his subordinates to tell his subordinates that the rocket nest was all empty before leaving, as for the unknown casualties caused and the open flames that appeared everywhere in the castle, it was none of his business.

The first battle ended inexplicably, Mario Knight returned to the castle with his troops in a complicated mood, and saw a messy scene, just one round of rockets caused dozens of people in the castle to be attrition, and also caused a fire that was finally extinguished, but burned a lot of supplies.

This result forced Mario Knight to prepare to leave the castle for a field battle, as there was a high risk of being burned alive by the opposite side.

As for the Royal Princess, the marines successfully reached the ground and began to walk hard, although Lorraine's rotorcraft unit did not suffer casualties, but there were many mechanical failures, and they were also caught by Admiral Catherine for a training.

Anyway, the first battle was a thrilling victory.
