Chapter 994: Prepare to Land, Soldier!
Twenty kilometers from Godrim City, expected to arrive in seventeen minutes, sir, will we land in the city, or will we land directly on the defensive line? The captain of the Laughing Craftsman glanced at the pressure gauge and began to instruct his men to slow down, while reporting to Xu Yichen.
"Landing directly on the defensive line and solving the problem outside the city first." Xu Yichen tightened the armor on his body: "Be careful around, we don't know if the Chaos Demons have air power yet." ”
According to Fan Li's report, there has been civil unrest in Godrim City, and the Chaos Cultists are frantically spreading panic among the civilians, and the situation is already somewhat dangerous.
A large number of mobs rushed into the streets, the few guards who were holding their posts were already exhausted, and the nobles of the city were gathered together, barely maintaining order in the area around the lord's palace.
"Sir, the officers on board the ship have prepared for air defense, and I will notify you as soon as I find a suspicious target." The captain saluted helplessly.
The self-defense ability of airships is weak, so they can only be used for transportation tasks in the mainland, and most of the airships produced later have been put into civilian projects, which has always been a pain in the hearts of airship commanders.
They are all elites in the navy, such as the captain of the Laughing Craftsman, who was once a captain and a meritorious man who fought hard against the Chaos Gang in the South China Sea.
They were originally the pride of the ocean, and now they have conquered the sky, but the airship itself has finally become a constraint that limits their play, and it is a tragedy for all the soldiers on the airship.
Those ancient and huge Fangshi sects tried to enhance the survivability and combat effectiveness of the airship itself through various magic circles, but the high cost made the military department completely cancel the future improvement plan for the airship.
The captain of the Laughing Craftsman is a well-connected veteran officer, and he asked some of the military departments about the future plans of air power, and it seems that the new dynasty has made up its mind to replace the airship with another air combat system, and their goal is to conduct air combat with smaller, faster, and fewer carriers.
The captain was very dissatisfied with this, and if he put this captain in reality, he would definitely say the slogan: "Big is beautiful, more is good, caliber is truth!" ”
"Landing ready, three minutes!" The first mate rang the gong on the deck: "Everyone get ready to leave!" ”
The Marines began to hand out bows and arrows to the nervous elven archers, while repeating the note: "Hold on to the off-hand, and leave through the exit as soon as the landing shakes off, don't hesitate!" Don't get in the way of anyone behind! Spread out as soon as you go out! ”
The elven archers, who had never experienced this kind of battle, turned pale, and some of them vomited when they were told that they were about to enter the battle before they could get used to the fact that they were flying in the sky.
It turns out that no matter how handsome the elf is, sweating profusely, with his hair clinging to his forehead in a mess, and the corners of his mouth still carrying the residue of vomit, he can't make people look at him directly.
Fortunately, most of the people here have experienced this situation, the first time they left the earth, the first time they vomited, the first time they fell from the sky to face the enemy, the first time they fought Chaos, and the Marines were so immature.
This made these soldiers of the Song Empire have a lot of softening their attitude towards the elves in front of them, they found that these pointed ears are no different from themselves, they also have flesh and blood, they will be afraid, they will bleed, in addition to being a little better-looking, the skin is a little whiter, and the shape is a little more gorgeous
Well, that little bit of identification that had just risen was quickly suppressed by the harsh reality, and the Marines roared: "Sit in your seat!" It's dangerous to land, and leaving your seat without permission is not only dangerous for yourself, but you can also hurt other people! Whoever leaves his seat again, I'll put his face in the vomit on the ground! ”
"Enemies found, all of us are enemies below!" The sailors on the outer deck shouted: "No flying enemies have been found, it is possible to land normally!" ”
Xu Yichen grabbed the fence with one hand and poked out most of his body, just like the sailor said, the bottom of the airship was already covered by enemies.
Massive beasts corrupted by chaos poured out of the Black Forest like moving carpets and swooped down on the human defenses outside Godram.
The line of defense looked terrible thin, the only wall had been breached in many places, and the fallen centaurs relied on their mobility advantage to leap directly over the heads of the defending soldiers.
The front was filled with the smell of gunsmoke, and less than a hundred meters behind the line of defense, a phalanx of marines was the only unit on the entire line of defense that kept the formation intact, and they became firefighters, under the command of the only officer, constantly tilting their fire in the direction of being breached.
Their salvo was so accurate that even though the nearest fallen centaur had rushed less than ten meters in front of them, the soldier kept his head down and accurately loaded the gunpowder and bullets into the barrel of his gun, oblivious to the formidable enemy in front of him.
The lead officer, wielding a command knife in one hand and a short-handled musket in the other, fired a shot at a rushing centaur, then pointed the blade in the direction of the centaur breakthrough and swung it vigorously.
The Marines, who had finished reloading, raised their already hot muskets and fired a perfect two-section shot in line with the officer's command.
Dozens of centaurs fell in the path of the charge, along with the survivors of the human defenders who had fallen behind them.
Under the officer's command, the thirty marines threw down their muskets, drew their swords at their waists, and quickly filled the gap.
They know that if their defense line is broken through again, and their comrades behind them will not show mercy when they shoot again, this is war, and it is impossible for the commander to let his defense line be broken through because of a few lives, thus causing a rout.
From the air, the entire defense line was almost full of holes, but only one place was not only not breached, but instead launched a counter-charge forward, forming a protrusion, relieving a lot of pressure on the soldiers on both sides.
That was where Li Yanlong was, one man and one shield, like an iron wall, blocking the dangerous enemy from the defense line, so that the soldiers of the city guard had enough space to exert the power of their weapons.
"One minute ready, exhaust gas, ready to open the hatch, ready to land!" The first mate kept repeating his orders, and the sailors of the Laughing Smith kept operating the valves in front of them, and with the violent vibrations, everyone on board felt weightless.
"Prepare for battle, boys!" The Demon Hunter licked his lips, a little impatient.
