Volume 8: War and Peace Chapter 67: The Battle of Aston (9)
The clear night sky, the bright silver moon, blowing in the face, with a little cool breeze. Well, what a night!
That's weird!
"End...... It's over! The peach doll held her head in her hands, and her whole body trembled in the night sky, "Again...... Lost again! This time I will definitely be beaten to death by the regiment commander! I'm going to be kicked out! will be cast out of the covenant of angels! It's over, it's over, it's over! ”
The elven girl's big eyes were already full of tears, and she looked like she would burst at any moment.
A flower elf with two pairs of wings flew around the peach doll's head, scattering dots of light in the night sky, as if wondering why his friend had such a sad expression.
Flower elves are a kind of existence similar to elemental bodies, some people believe that these creatures that are less than ten centimeters tall, live on flower buds, and feed on nectar are a special branch of elves, but more scholars believe that flower elves are the purest and most beautiful existence bred by nature in the world of Entagre.
They are simple and kind, full of compassion, and are pampered by nature. They do not die, and even if they suffer fatal injuries or even complete physical destruction, their souls will be sent to a bud that is about to open under the protection of the forces of nature, waiting for their bodies to re-condense and reappear in this world.
Flower elves are also very sensitive, they can easily detect the malice of others towards them, and then let themselves disappear into nature like stealth for the first time, only those with good hearts can find them, and the flower elves will also generously take out the nectar they have collected, to entertain their "big friends".
Peach Doll also came across this flower elf by chance, when she was still a novice player who had just appeared in the Yongsong Forest. Because she often gets lost, it is difficult for Peach Doll to find other players to team up with her, so the level increase is very slow.
But she herself is full of exploration spirit and always likes to walk around, and the characteristics of road idiots make her always unable to find her way home.
Therefore, when Peach Doll learned from other players that Angel's Covenant had formed an air combat group and began recruiting players who were willing to engage in air combat, she immediately realized that this was her goal. In her opinion, since there are all kinds of obstacles on the ground, she is always lost, then the sky is fine! There are no forests, no mountains, no rivers, no canyons, only endless blue skies and white clouds, and there is no better choice for road idiots!
So she did not hesitate to embark on the journey to the Holy City, and in a daily loss on the way, she broke into a fantasy arranged by a flower elf.
Although the flower elves are petite, do not like to fight, and do not have high requirements for living environment and food (just find a tree that can bloom), this does not mean that they are not strong. Every flower elf is a master of illusion, proficient in all bewilderment and phantom magic, and these magic are more like some kind of natural ability for flower elves, no need to chant spells, no need to consume mana, only need to pay a little physical strength, it is enough for them to release a fantasy that does not exceed the legendary level.
Of course, given the size of the flower elves, you can't expect this illusion to cover a large area, a radius of one meter is already their limit.
It is precisely because of this daily confusion and chance encounter that this flower elf named Jiani and the peach doll became good friends, and followed the peach doll to join the angelic covenant.
Except for the peach doll herself, no one knew that this elf female player had such a helper, and Jiani, who is a natural darling, also used her own ability to provide a lot of help to the peach doll.
"Woo~~~ It's over! The head of the regiment will definitely be angry! And where the hell is this! Peach Doll looked around, and although there was moonlight, it still couldn't tell where she was, and her eyesight was not good enough to make out the terrain under her feet at a distance of 150 meters in the night.
In fact, she can't do that even during the day, and for road nerds, even if you put the map in front of them, getting lost is a sure consequence for them!
After flying a few laps, the flower elf Jiani finally stopped on top of the peach doll's head and said in a soft voice, "Doll, it seems that there is something over there!" ”
"Huh? Why over there? It's dark over there, there's nothing! ”
"I felt a wave of malice coming from that direction! This malice is terrible, let's go back! I don't want you to be in any danger! Jiani tried to convince her good friend not to join this terrible battle.
At this moment, from the direction pointed by Jiani, a little light finally appeared, and then there was a large area of flames and various rays intertwined with the scenery, it was the Aston City that was attacked by the air attack began to counterattack the player, and all kinds of anti-aircraft fire from the ground became the best signs.
The peach doll who finally found her way wiped away a handful of tears, this elf girl does not like to fight, if she can, she would rather fly freely in the sky, enjoy the beautiful scenery everywhere, and go with Jiani to appreciate the magnificence of nature. But at the same time, she is also a person who knows how to be grateful and has a very high sense of responsibility!
When almost all players abandoned her because of her road idiocy and left her to fend for herself, only the Angelic Covenant opened its arms to her and even provided her with flying equipment to fly freely like a bird. Even if she was always unable to follow her other comrades in battle because of her road idiot, the Angel Covenant did not give up on her, not even a word of reproach!
As for the disgust of the head of the group, Na Risong, it was taken for granted by the peach doll, and she always knew very well how much trouble her road idiot attribute would bring to others. But Sister Shamille, as well as the other players in the Air Combat Band, did not exclude her because of this, and even provided her with a lot of help.
So far, the most impressive thing about the peach doll is that in the first air battle she had, because she got lost and had no results, and was not found from hundreds of kilometers away from the battlefield until the end of the battle, she faced the angry regiment commander Narimatsu, who happened to come to inspect the answer of Raphael, the president of the air combat regiment.
"Everyone makes mistakes sometimes! Everyone is good at and what they are not good at! If we drive her away for this reason, then what difference will we have from those we hate! She just can't find the direction, it's not that she doesn't have a direction, since that's the case, let people take her forward! ”
At that time, Raphael was worthy of his title of angel, and the peach doll also made up her mind at that time that she would not leave the group even if she died!
With a determined look on the face of the peach doll, the elf girl tightened the cloth strap on her chest and said, "Jiani, hide in my arms!" We're leaving! ”
"Are you really going, doll! It's dangerous there, you're going to die! Although I know that you, like me, will soon be resurrected, death still hurts, it hurts, I don't like it, and I don't want this to happen to you! Jiani tugged at the peach doll's hair with her little hands, once again trying to stop her from joining the fight.
The peach doll shook her head: "I'm going!" Must go! Jiani, if you see another flower elf in danger, will you run away? ”
"Of course not! Jiani will definitely be brave enough to help her! Jiani replied without hesitation.
"Me too! Now it's my friends, my comrades-in-arms who are fighting there, so I can't run away, I can't retreat! The peach doll's face was full of perseverance and seriousness, "Jiani, please help me!" ”
The flower elf hesitated for a moment, but finally chose to help his good friend! Her body slowly turned into nothingness in the breeze, and then split into countless small points of light, densely attached to the peach doll's body: "Doll, from now on, you have an hour without being discovered by anyone, unless the other party's strength is very strong!" That's all I can help! Be sure to come back safely! ”
The peach doll knew that those points of light were Jiani's body, and the flower elf used her body as a prop to apply a powerful illusion effect to her. She was touched because it meant that it would take at least a week for Jiani to reunite into her new body and return to her.
"Alright, doll, don't be afraid! Believe in yourself, you can do it! The Peach Doll said to herself, controlling the black eagle to fly towards Aston City.
If other air combat players behaved like acrobats dancing on the tip of a knife in the face of dense anti-aircraft fire, the peach doll became a butterfly in flowers, dancing as it pleases in the midst of these dense webs of danger.
She's just a road idiot, not an idiot who doesn't know anything! In fact, her flying skills are even better than Tania's, but due to the characteristics of road nerds, she rarely encounters combat, and she herself does not like to fight.
But as long as there is a clear goal, the peach doll can burst out with very powerful power!
Pull up, dodging the arrows fired by a hive ballista, turn sideways, flash two scorching rays, and make a sharp S-shaped maneuver that allows itself to fly past the side of a griffin.
Relying on the illusion that Jiani cast on her, the peach doll easily passed through the anti-aircraft fire network of Aston City and came to the brightly lit central square. She vaguely remembered that before taking off, Commander Narimatsu had said that the most important task of the 11th Air Combat Regiment was to destroy the teleportation array located in the central square!
At this moment, a piercing whistling sound was heard from the sky. In the shocked gaze of the peach doll, Yun Zhan Meishu took the lead, leading the other players who were determined to die, and without hesitation, they rushed headlong towards the teleportation array that emitted a faint white light.
"That's it, Brother Yun!" Peach Doll subconsciously covered her mouth, she could even feel Yun Zhan's eyebrows and their firm will, which was fearlessness and persistence to complete the task at all costs.
Bang! Bang!
A steady stream of explosions appeared in the area where the teleportation array was located, and some of the players who swooped down were hit by the explosive fireballs fired by the mages used by the rebels to protect the teleportation array, and were sent to other locations by the explosions, but more than ten players still managed to send the alchemy explosives fixed to their bodies into the teleportation array.
It was a total of more than a hundred kilograms of alchemy explosives, and the magic crystals in the black eagle that had not yet run out of energy! Such a huge weight that even a mushroom cloud rose over the entire central square!
Under the gaze of the peach doll, when the mushroom cloud finally dispersed, revealing the scene on the ground, the elf girl thought for a moment that she had come to hell!
Countless rebel soldiers lay on the ground, some of the soldiers closest to the teleportation array were affected by the explosion, at least half of the whole person was blown to pieces, and even farther away were hit by the air wave and the debris caused by the explosion, and some even died from the rupture of their internal organs caused by the concussion.
In short, the area with the teleportation array as the center, with a radius of at least 30 meters, has become a situation full of corpses.
But the problem is that the teleportation array, which is the main target, is still standing there.
Such a violent explosion only made the white light emitted by the teleportation array faint, and even the teleportation array patterns carved on the marble floor were not damaged in any way!
And rightfully so! If the core teleportation array of a provincial capital can be destroyed so easily, then who has the ability to take on the heavy responsibility of the core of the teleportation network in the entire province! According to the requirements of the Arnas Empire, the teleportation array in each provincial capital was designed for security reasons, and the defense standards were strictly formulated, requiring that it could withstand the attacks of legendary-level powerhouses without causing irreparable damage.
The surprise attack launched by Yun Zhan Meishu and a few people, in terms of destructive power, can only be regarded as a hero-level at best. Therefore, the impact on the teleportation array is not serious, but it only causes some damage to the stability of the teleportation array, and does not cause it to completely lose its teleportation ability.
If nothing else, after the other air combat players confirm the bombing effect, Yun Zhan Meishu and the others will attack a second time after being resurrected, or even a third time, a fourth time, until the teleportation array completely loses its teleportation ability!
It is precisely because of this that Yun Zhan Meishu and the other players in charge of bombing the teleportation array will decide to carry out a suicide attack, first, this can allow as much alchemy explosives as possible to cause damage to the teleportation array, and second, it can also reduce the interval between the two bombings, without wasting time on the return voyage, and directly replace it with a new black eagle after resurrection, and immediately bomb again.
The rebels reacted quickly, after discovering that the stability of the teleportation array was damaged, under the order of the rebel commander, a group of magicians were soon dispatched to repair the teleportation array, and at the same time, the rebel soldiers took out a large number of magic crystals from the material warehouse to supplement the mana supply of the teleportation array.
The tragic situation in the central square shocked the peach doll, although she had participated in several battles before, but because of the characteristics of road idiots, either after rushing to the battlefield, the battle was almost over, or she had been lost until 108,000 miles away, and then waited for someone to come to her to go back, so she had never seen such a terrible scene, nor had she ever seen such a decisive and heroic sacrifice of Yun Zhan Meishu and them.
This made the little girl's heart feel strongly shocked!
After a long hesitation, the girl made a decision when she saw the rebel magicians casting spells around the teleportation array, and a large number of mana crystals were taken out of the box by the rebel soldiers and stacked around the teleportation array.
She took out all the ammunition from the magazine, including magic bombs and alchemy explosives, she was supposed to go with the third group, led by Charmilles, to bomb the anti-aircraft fire points around the square, but at this moment, she was ready to abandon her mission!
In the incredulous and unbelievable eyes of the rebel soldiers and magicians, the peach doll appeared in the center of the teleportation array so suddenly.
Her magic power was injected into the magic crystals in the black eagle without restraint, instantly filling up the magic power consumed before, and even causing these magic crystals to enter an unstable state due to the overflow of magic power.
This is the simplest and most direct mana overload, the magic crystal itself is a prop for storing mana, once the stored mana is too much, it will explode violently like a mana bomb.
Under the terrified gaze of the rebel mages, a brilliant fiery red flower exploded in the center of the teleportation array, and the sweeping flames quickly engulfed the surrounding magic crystals, and then caused more and more violent explosions.
"Sister Charmilles, this time, the doll didn't get lost!"
