Chapter 243: A Sudden Air Battle
Thomas followed Locke's side, patrolling the soldiers with him. The pen %fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info he also deeply sympathized with Locke's remarks.
What kind of organization the Cursed Sect is, their group of paladins knows best.
This organization is adept at exploiting the dark side of humanity for their twisted ends. Countless middle- and lower-class commoners joined them, and even a large number of nobles were secretly eroded by them. Otherwise, the plague of natural disasters that spread throughout Lordaeron this time would not have gotten out of control so quickly.
Their role in this is immeasurable.
"We're in town, and half a wing of soldiers are on guard." Thomas hesitated, "That shouldn't be too much of a problem, right?" β
Locke shook his head, shaking the other thoughts out of his head. At this time, it is necessary to pay attention to the Forsaken directly opposite. Now, they are the priority.
"Now, that's all it can be." Locke looked at the forest on the horizon in the distance, "Our patrols and scouts are coming back soon." Locke, a layman, asked a relatively imbecile question. Scouts will not stay far from enemy colonies in wartime unless the Forsaken leave the area and return to their ruins.
"The patrol is supposed to be coming back, and the scouts will be in the woods all the time, monitoring their movements." Thomas answered his question with the same look on his face.
While they were chatting, a patrol of soldiers began to appear in the woodland, and they trotted out of the woodland.
"They're back." Locke perked up and looked at them from afar.
The soldier on guard greeted him, and after a brief exchange, the soldier walked up to Locke with one of the soldiers.
"Commander, the monsters have reached the outskirts of town. In a few minutes, it will appear in our field of vision. "One of the ensigns reported the information to Locke and the others." The scouts gave us the news, and they said that the monsters had many giant bats, and there were undead people sitting on them. Commander, we need to pay attention to this! β
"Got it, second lieutenant. Great work! Locke saluted him solemnly, and the second lieutenant immediately returned the salute.
"Ensign, you can't let up yet. Take all of your people and let them patrol the town and catch anyone who is suspicious. Let the hounds sniff with their noses, and in short, whatever method is used, as long as they feel that something is wrong, they will catch it! β
"Yes!"
"That way you can feel a little more at ease." Looking at their distant figures, Locke said to himself, and Thomas nodded in agreement.
Locke and the others made their rounds and returned to the rear of the group, waiting for the arrival of the enemy.
In the distance, a foul smell began to appear. The soldiers began to sniff their noses, and some experienced soldiers, gagged their nostrils with something.
The enemy is coming.
Suddenly, small black dots in the distance swept past the treetops and flew towards them. They are fast and agile and can perform a variety of tumbling and spinning movements.
In the blink of an eye, they had leapt in front of the line.
It was a huge black bat, with huge fleshy wings five meters long and nearly three meters long, with a mouse-like head and two sharp fangs turning outwards from its mouth.
Each bat is topped by a rider in leather armor who pulls a rope tied to the bat in one hand and a throwing spear in the other. Behind their backs was a quiver for throwing spears, with a dozen spears stuck in them.
"It's unbelievable that this thing can become so huge!" Major Thomas looked at the things and muttered to himself.
The bats didn't stop on their tracks, they continued to fly forward, trying to challenge the Crusader line. Some of the bats also flew in the direction of the town.
"Longbowmen ready, free fire!"
The roars of officers rang out from all positions of the crusaders.
In the blink of an eye, the bats came to the top of the military town, and they circled upward, throwing spears downward from time to time.
The soldiers below raised their shields to block, and some of them cursed at them.
"Shoot! Shoot! β
They were greeted by longbowmen, sharp arrows.
The Forsaken who piloted the bats were skillful, and they were always able to dodge the arrows fired by the soldiers in times of crisis.
A Forsaken Bat Rider hovered above the Crusaders' line-up, controlling the bats in a variety of difficult maneuvers, teasing the longbowmen who were shooting at him below.
Rolling, serpentine, spinning, stopping, this makes the longbowmen's teeth itch but he can't.
For a moment, the crusader procession was somewhat disrupted by these bat riders.
This bat rider even found the conspicuous Locke among the soldiers. Here he circled, throwing spears at Locke.
Locke gritted his teeth and cursed in his heart, holding his shield and constantly blocking.
If our Air Force is here, how can it be? It seems that the Air Force still needs to increase production! Cover all the positions of the entire Crusader!
Just as Locke gritted his teeth, the girls led by Goblin Cledge also rushed to the sky above Brill. They have spotted bats hovering underneath.
"Wow! Listen up, girls! It's time for us to perform! Here's our goal! Critch shouted into the helmet's built-in headphones, "See those big bats?" That's what we're aiming for! Remember, don't panic, control your plane, don't fly too low. If those bats burrow into the woods, don't chase them. All we need to do is hover above the trees! β
Above the sky, four V-shaped fighter formations were flying. In the short-distance intercom, Klitsch's voice sounded in the ears of the girls!
"002 understands!"
"003 understands!"
β......β
"014 understands!"
"Now, everybody down! Have a fight with them! Let's see who's better! Clicy shouted excitedly, "Yo roar~~!" Girls! Rush with me! β
Credge first pressed down on the plane's joysticks, and the two engines let out a loud roar, which spewed out blue flames, and the plane plunged headlong.
Behind Credge's side, a plane with the 002 number sprayed on the fuselage acts as his wingman.
"002, cover my flanks! I'm going on a killing spree! Klitch chuckled, "Look at how your instructors go on a killing spree!" β
"Come on! Instructor! I wish you a lot of money this time! β
"Instructor, you will definitely be promoted to the rank again this time!"
"The instructor will definitely find a good goblin girl, haha!"
The girls congratulated the girls through the headphones. KliΔ has turned a deaf ear to this, and he has locked on a large bat hovering above the town.
As Locke gritted his teeth, a roar began to appear in their ears. Gradually, the voices grew louder and louder, and the soldiers looked around in confusion. After failing to find their target, they looked up and noticed several small black dots in the air. The little black dot was falling down at a great speed, and the roar was made by it!
"Air Force! Our Air Force! Locke shouted out in a faux puff!
He looked with delight at the blue-painted airplanes in the sky, on which the Crusader's double-headed eagle markings were vividly visible. Now, the top of their head is safe! And what's even happier is that Silver Pine Forest has got this information! They're definitely going to react!
"Air Force?! Our Air Force?! Thomas looked at the flying machine in shock.
"Yes! Our Air Force! Locke looked excitedly.
The scenery in front of him changed rapidly, and the alarm began to sound on the dashboard, and Goblin Cliff's eyes began to become bloodshot and red.
The force of the impact pressed him tightly against his seat. Fortunately, now the Crusaders have this kind of fully enclosed helmet, otherwise, it would be a death to descend at such a high speed.
He was still staring at the big bats flying over the town, and the thing had apparently spotted them, and he began to speed up to get out of here.
"Little snack, you are mine, play with me." Klic muttered. Outside the cockpit, in the center of a figure-of-ten sight, the big bat was flying from side to side.
"Instructor! The altitude alarm is starting to alarm! Our height is too low! Hurry up and pull it up! The 002 girl, who was his wingman, began to shout, "Pull up!" Or you'll crash! β
"Don't worry little girl, I've been flying this kind of plane for a few years now." Klitsch turned on the safety on the joystick and the gun firing button, aimed at the big bat in the middle, and pressed it hard.
"Knock, knock, knock, knock"
The 30mm cannons from under the two lower wings of the plane, as well as the cannon in the nose of the plane, made a whistling sound, and a string of armor-piercing shells shot out. They flew towards the bat rider with a bright taillight.
Klitsch stared closely at the target on the sight, which was instantly shattered to pieces by the cannon, along with the rider above.
There was a rain of blood, and the bones of the two of them were scattered.
A few missed cannon bullets scurried towards the town below, for which Klic could only say sorry.
"Shh~~" Klicky whistled and pulled the plane's lever upwards, "Get up, baby, get up!" Get up! β
The plane piloted by Kleech swooped down from the sky with a loud roar that made the civilians gathered in Brill scream and hide under the eaves on either side.
Klitch clenched his teeth, and the muscles in his face twitched slightly. He tugged hard at the plane's control stick in his arms.
The nose of the plane quickly leveled, and Klitsch saw what appeared to be a tall tower directly ahead. "Oh, the money is on it! Bless me for making it through!! Pull me up!!! β
The nose angle of the plane changed little by little, and finally flew past the spire of the Brill Hotel at a great speed. The belly of the plane was ground out one after another, and there was a sound of metal rubbing.
"Wow! Instructor! You're amazing! Inside the intercom, 002 shouted in surprise and adoration.
"Okay, little girl, this is a dangerous move, don't imitate me." A large stone in Klitsch's heart fell, and he breathed a deep sigh of relief. It's good that this is an aircraft built under human supervision, if it was made by goblins....
Klitsch shuddered and threw out the unlucky thought.
"Let's go to the next target!"
Klic pulled up the fuselage and flew 1,000 meters into the air, where his wingman was already waiting.
