"I smell blood!" The pale face of the Duke of the Blood Clan greedily licked his sharp fangs.

In front of him, the rock gate had been corroded into a pile of slag, and the poisonous smell of self-exploding blood bats continued to rise from the cave.

Although no more air strikes were launched, the remnants of the blood and rotting poison continued to erode the passage. Inside is an absolute no-go zone for humans.

However, for vampires, these are nothing, and the more than 20,000 humans in them are an irresistible temptation.

Prince Varana waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, let's see the air battle situation first." If they can hold off the human reinforcements, it's not too late for us to go in, or we'll be stuck in the cave. ”

As a battlefield commander, Prince Varana has the most advanced reconnaissance equipment at his disposal, a full-fledged military-grade psionic detector captured from the battlefield of Tianzhu.

Through the instrument screen, you can see the approximate military deployment of the two sides. The dark green is the Scourge Legion, and the bright red is the Republic reinforcements.

The Scourge Legion's psionic level is generally not high, but there are many of them, and the black pressure forms a huge green cloud, like a lobster, charging head-on while opening two pincers to attack.

On the human side, there are bright red dots, small in number, but much better in quality.

The two sides walked in the opposite direction, approaching extremely quickly.

Before the two air forces met, a large exploding light suddenly erupted in the sky. It's a big piece! To the naked eye, it occupies almost a tenth of the sky, and the points of the explosion are very dense.

In less than a minute, the sky on the right side also exploded with dense explosive light.

For self-exploding blood bats that only look at quantity and not quality, no matter how powerful the explosion is, it is a big threat to them.

Varana estimated that the flames of these two large explosions destroyed at least six or seven percent of the cluster of self-detonating blood bats in the center and on the right flank.

Fortunately, such a large-scale attack does not seem to last. Left-wing clusters have not been hit on a large scale.

The conventional anti-aircraft fire of the floating fleet was concentrated on the left flank. Bands of light were projected into the night sky from the faintly floating ships, and hundreds of self-detonating blood bats were blown up under anti-aircraft fire. The blood spilled directly onto the ground, and the rotting poison fluttered like a dark green cloud.

"Zizi~huh!" A blue beam of light enveloped the thunderbolt and lit up the sky.

A frost dragon slammed, and the ice-blue soul flame in the socket of his left eye extinguished like a candle blown by the wind. Soul damage is even more pronounced on dead spirits, whose left side of its body loses control and its body tilts downward.

There is no doubt that this attack that specifically hits the enemy's eyes naturally comes from Shen Tao, the eye-hitting madman.

Pushing away the Thunder Sniper, which was thicker than a human body, and charging this powerful weapon, Shen Tao connected to the command channel on the helmet and said in a deep voice: "Elite regiment, prepare to attack." Remote output and protection go to the right flank to assist the fleet in fending off the self-detonating blood bats. Melee and sniper squads, face the enemy head-on with me. This time we're going dragon hunting! ”

"Good!"

"It's just a bunch of bones, not real dragons."

"That's okay, the Frost Dragon will give it to us, and you can deal with the gargoyles and self-detonating blood bats."

"Get out!"

The channel soon resounded with noisy bickering, and the Scourge Air Force was not taken into account.

"Be serious, there's a war here!" Shen Tao said on his lips, but he didn't have much hope in his heart. The most reliable members of the elite regiment have long been transferred to all levels of troops as officers. The rest of these people are all guys with excellent personal strength, but they don't have a proper shape.

But after so many years of cooperation, Shen Tao knew that it was impossible for them to set an example, but once the war started, these teammates became the most reliable partners in seconds.

No need to be verbose, he sorted out the Aeolus Wing module for air combat, shouldered the exclusive sniper rifle that can be used by a single soldier, and got up to prepare to face the Scourge Legion's Ice Dragon, Destroyer, and Gargoyle Cluster.

Although the huge floating fleet has fierce firepower and long-range attacks, even the Frost Dragon is no match for the floating ship. But in order to avoid accidental damage, all anti-aircraft fire was directed outward. Battleships with strong anti-aircraft fire were on the outside, and pure transports were protected in the middle of the formation.

This time, there is also a special kind of battleship that is protected in the formation - the Liberator frigate.

Such corvettes are much smaller than floating ships and about the same size as large transport aircraft. But they are pure warships, with 12 missile nests on board except for one ground-based plasma gun that needs to be deployed additionally. There are 16 anti-aircraft ion fragmentation bombs in each missile nest.

The single attack power of this ion fragmentation bomb is very average, and even the crispy skin of the self-detonating blood bat cannot be killed, but it has a wide attack range, and the killing radius reaches more than 100 meters. Crucially, the damage of the Ion Fragmentation Bullet can be stacked.

A Liberator frigate can fire 192 ion fragmentation bombs at a time, which is like a peacock opening the screen when launched, which is very spectacular. Fifty Liberators is 9,600 ion fragmentation bombs, which can completely cover an entire assault cluster of self-exploding blood bats.

The light curtain that Prince Varana had seen earlier was the covering attack of the Liberator. But one thing he miscalculated was that within the coverage area of the ion fragmentation bomb, the loss rate of the self-detonating blood bat was more than 90%, and even if it survived, it was only bloodskin, and the flight was unstable, and there was no threat to the floating fleet.

Similarly, as a new weapon, this frigate copied by the Five Star Group and the Primal Group based on StarCraft Tyranid Empire technology is small in number, and is only enough to launch two rounds of covering attacks.

And unlike in the game, they can automatically reload after fighting, and after their missile nest is empty, they can only return to the ground to reload. Therefore, these hundred Liberator frigates have only ground capability.

Once the Scourge Air Force breaks into the formation, there is nothing that can be done about the floating ships that are difficult to steer. The transports and Liberator frigates inside are weak chickens.

At this point, it will be necessary for others to fend off the Scourge's melee combat in the air force battle formation.

The Elite Regiment of the Dragon Troop, one of the most elite tactical teams in the world, will stand up to protect the inner layer of the floating fleet.

Wow, Shen Tao's sniper bullet accurately hit an obsidian destroyer who was devouring the floating ship's protective circle.

The magic energy that had not had time to absorb suddenly exploded, and although it could not hurt the destroyer of the demon immunity, it emptied its mana slot.

The attack power of the Destroyer without mana is so touching that it can't even break through the defense of the floating ship.

The only way to use ranged attacks in the fleet is the sniper squad.

Due to the existence of psionic shields, it is almost impossible for snipers to kill enemies of the same level in one hit. Relying on ultra-long range and super attack power, even if it is not a one-hit kill, a good sniper can play an effect far beyond other classes.

Take a moment when casting spells, come when combos, and balance maneuvers. When the enemy charges, he takes the lead, and when he retreats, he harvests the remnants of the target, even if he only aims and does not shoot, the sniper rifle mount on the side can give people a lot of pressure.

The frontal self-detonating blood bats were harvested by the Liberator frigate before they could do anything, but the subsequent undead still carried out the previous orders and rushed to kill them with frontal fire.

The two sides soon entered a hand-to-hand distance.

"It's a good thing I'm cautious, or I'll be stuck in the hole. Evacuate! "Prince Varana, who was on the ground, did not look at the outcome of the air battle at all, and gave the order to retreat at the first time.
