Chapter 62: A Desperate Shot
It was a fiery phoenix descending from the sky, hissing and casting a fire of destruction on the top creations of magical civilization. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The panicked mages and the still calm mages work together to cast a variety of spells that may help reduce the fire, even if the empty ship's power output is insufficient and the altitude drops......
After two transport planes dived and dropped bombs, the empty ship of the living god Kitaro entered the "five minutes of hell".
The top of the ship burned violently, and if it burned out, the air ship would basically not be able to continue to fly - so after confirming where the fire was on, a frustrated Kitaro immediately ordered all the capable magicians on board to climb to the top deck of the air ship and extinguish the terrible fire at all costs.
The yield of the two fuel-air bombs was small, but the oil and gas cloud that spread out during the first explosion made up for this shortcoming. Not only that, but the impact of the explosion of the oil and gas cloud and the negative pressure that followed directly penetrated the top deck of the empty ship, pushing the fire into the cast area that provided buoyancy to the empty ship.
As a result, the place where the big hole was blown up became the main battlefield of the flames and the empty ship mages in the "Five Minutes of Hell". If the top deck of these carved magic wands were too damaged, the fate of the empty ship would be as tragic as that of its sister, and not a single person on it would be able to escape.
"It looks like a lantern used in a festival......"
The roof of the empty ship that rushed into the clouds was still burning violently, so the dark sea of clouds inevitably revealed rays of strange color and intensity, and although these rays were not as dazzling as the firelight of the empty ship, they illuminated a large part of the sea surface through the scattering and refraction between the clouds, and indirectly shone into the eyes of the pilot Phoebe.
And it didn't last long—about five minutes later, when the empty ship "carved" a path out of the clouds again, there was no open flame in sight. The clouds provided enough moisture to respond to the magician's call, and the two fuel-air bombs did not cause more damage after all, and the ship was able to pick up a rotten life from the Ghost Gate.
But the traces of the fire were already evident - two large holes the size of a family car, and half of the top deck, which had been charred for the most part, were now silently telling of the catastrophe they had just besuffered...... In addition to this, the breakage of the top deck also made it have to reduce its speed and altitude in order to keep the empty ship moving normally.
"It's really tenacious, insisting on dying with dignity." Phoebe heard the exclamation of the instructor in the headphones - he naturally knew very well that from the moment the air ship entered the battlefield, the Chinese side had no intention of letting it live, it did not sink under the blow of two fuel air bombs, and sooner or later it would be consumed by more flames.
"And what happens if we let it land on Crown Island?"
"God knows." The instructor didn't know that at this time, he was indirectly ordering his subordinates to face this behemoth, "Probably our plan to separate Crown Island and Lancas Island failed, there should be nothing worse than this result." ”
As soon as the words fell, the afterglow of the instructor pilot of the long plane caught a slight change-but it was the AT-802U piloted by Phoebe who pulled up and rolled and slapped the horse in the direction from which he came. Witnessing this scene, even the battle-hardened instructor couldn't help but be a little stunned -- did he really want to use the two "little water guns" under his wings to shake the behemoth?
"Phoebe Student...... No, half-leaf holes, your plane is deviating from course, back to your position! ”
"No, I'm not going to run away again," Phoebe made up her mind, even though she knew it was disobedience. "I know the monster's weakness, and I think I can stop it!"
The communication channel suddenly returns to silence - Phoebe knows that it is his pilot and instructor who is giving him a "small report" to his superiors, but even that can't change his decision. If there really is a so-called "true god" in this world, then he left this cruel life for himself in order to avenge himself...... Since joining Elta's new army, Phoebe has always believed in this conjecture.
As for the provocative behavior of daring to push himself and the instructor to increase the throttle and run away, it is even more to make the enemy taste the bitterness! Phoebe gritted her teeth and stared through the night vision lenses at the two large holes in the roof of the empty ship—he was confident that no one present knew its structure and principles better than he did.
If he's not mistaken, it should be full of mages who can keep the empty ship afloat and forward. If only he was given another bomb that could cause an earth-shattering fire...... With even one shot, he was sure to lose power and crash the empty ship into the sea, using gravity to smash this invincible Church weapon into a mess of wood and flesh.
Just as he made up his mind, the murmur on the radio suddenly appeared. This time he clearly heard the instructor's heavy breathing, and he knew that there must be something very difficult that he couldn't say right away.
"Based on your actions, you will most likely be judged to be disobedient, and what awaits you will be court-martial."
"I understand. But Phoebe, who ......" answered immediately, guessed that he would say that. From the very beginning of its existence, the Elta Army has been under the PLA and has adopted "iron discipline" as the core criterion of this nationalized army.
"But if you state your intentions, then I may be able to explain to the chief why I ...... Why not shoot you down. ”
Phoebe looked at the rearview mirror next to the cockpit - in the middle of the dark night sky, there was already a strange figure in his direction at six o'clock - it was the same AT-802U (instructor plane) as the battle horse under his seat. As long as the instructor pushes the button, then his mount will undoubtedly break its wings, not to mention continuing to meet the empty ship, the plane's own emergency survival system will be seriously damaged and will knock him out of the plane, and his fate is only to wait for rescue and then be sent to the military court.
"The inside of the top deck of the empty ship is filled with magicians and magicians used to maintain lift." Phoebe took a deep breath and began to lay out his plans and plans one by one. "Now that damn ship's roof is shattered, we just need to strafe it around the two big holes, and maybe we'll be able to force it down in altitude due to lack of lift, or even ...... Crash. ”
Immediately afterward, there was a few seconds of silence on the radio. At the same time that Phoebe began to sweat and doubt her life, the reply that made him breathe a sigh of relief came again from the radio:
"Ensign Phoebe, remember me. Even if you succeed this time, you won't be rewarded at all, and if you fail, what awaits you is still military law. Go and fight for me to make meritorious contributions, and the merits and demerits are compensated, do you hear?! ”
It was not his instructor who reprimanded him, but the chief of the Elta Air Force, one of the most important chiefs of the Elta Air Force and the head of the Aviation Affairs Development Department who personally commanded the Air Force's operations on Banba Island, spoke to him on the radio.
It's just that this rather merciless words echoed in Phoebe's ears like a spring breeze - especially the last sentence, which clearly stated that he was now letting go of it, and he didn't care at all whether there would be any punishment for success or failure.
Compared to his phantom limb, which occasionally gave him a little more memory and impression, and the relatives who died in the raids of the Wyvern Knight, but often replayed that scene in his dreams, what was a court-martial? Now he has long since fought back against all the enemy's provocations just for the sake of "peace of mind", cutting off every arm that the enemy stretches out, and as for him standing in a high position that only a very few natives in Elta's army can be, he himself probably has no idea at all.
Confident, Phoebe released the throttle valve again and turned on the internal oil, setting the flight path and attack angle against the altitude of the air ship in the distance. This is the first time he has formulated a combat mission, and the instructor behind him has changed his previous identity as a combat mission formulator, and instead received the mission details information sent by him on the intelligent terminal.
"Are you sure you really want to give this young man a go? The pressure on it is not small......"
About 200 kilometers away, in an office on the Liberation Wheel, the Chief of the General Staff of the Air Force, who had just been furious, had a pleasant face, answering the question of another officer in a straight uniform.
"I've seen his file." The Chief of the General Staff of the Elta Air Force, who was "transferred" from the commander-in-chief of the PLA Air Force Theater, threw a small stack of papers clamped with a paper clip in front of the other party, "Because he was attacked by the flying dragoons of the Church of the Two Moons, he was the only one left in the family, and his right forearm was highly burned and tissue necrosis was removed and replaced with a prosthetic leg. Don't worry about his defection in terms of loyalty......"
"No, no. Not the problem. The younger officer in front of him waved his hand vigorously, "The problem is not here, the requirements of the General Political Department have been clearly stated, and the 'three key points and eight points in the battle of the Lancas Islands' clearly state that it is necessary to strictly investigate the disobedience at the front...... Chief of Staff, you don't understand this, do you? ”
"Of course I understand, I'll take the risk, you don't have to worry too much." The chief of staff looked directly at the other man word by word. "Since he has a way to bring the empty ship down immediately, then we should give it a try, and this first cut and then the prelude does not have to put the hat of disobedience on the young man. After all, if this war of discord has the opposite consequences, the Second and Fifth Divisions of the General Political Department will definitely not want this kind of thing to happen, right? ”
