Under the leadership of Captain Dewey, the giant eagle returned safely, retracted its wings and skillfully drilled into the flight deck of the mothership, reloaded the aerial bomb with the assistance of the maintenance personnel, took a short rest to replenish its physical strength, flapped its wings again and took off into the air, flew above the sand bandit position, and launched a second attack wave.

The bandits' positions were once again shrouded in smoke and flames. After two rounds of bombing, the sand bandit gangs under the command of the "Four Great Kou" suffered heavy casualties, and the specific casualty figures are still not counted, and most of the bandits who were lucky enough to survive the bombing were so frightened that they lay on the ground and did not dare to raise their heads.

The bombing operation achieved the desired results, forcing the sand bandit gang to paralyze itself on the Gobi Desert and have to abandon the original combat plan of attacking Sweetwater Town at night. However, Captain Dewey carefully observed the devastated positions of the bandits, and found that the results of the second wave were not as good as they seemed - the bandits had already recovered from the first round of bombardment, and once again saw the giant eagles flying overhead and lying on the ground, avoiding most of the shrapnel sputters, and the number of casualties was much lower than when they were bombarded by the first wave.

Captain Dewey truthfully reported what he had observed to Zehir, leaving the Air Force Major General in a dilemma. Continuing to launch the third wave of bombing is a prudent decision, and it can indeed cause a certain degree of damage to the enemy, but when he thinks of those expensive aerial bombs, he feels that the cost-effectiveness ratio of continuing to bomb is too low, and it is not worth wasting the few bombs left for this, after all, there is no arsenal to produce bombs in southern Xinjiang, and it is very inconvenient for airships to replenish ammunition.

At this time, the messenger ran over and whispered, "Your Excellency, Colonel Bloom has just sent a message requesting to go to battle on behalf of the Second Armored Knights. ”

"Armored Knight......" Zehir was a little undecided. Although Bloom's rank was slightly lower than his, the Knights of Armoured were an independent unit under the direct command of His Royal Highness the Prince, and he had no authority to dictate Bloom's troops. After a moment's thought, he turned on the magic guide intercom and conveyed Bloom's request to Roland, asking His Royal Highness the Prince to make his own decision.

"Agree to the attack of the Second Armored Knights, please relay it to Bloom for me, and wish him good luck!"

Zehir breathed a sigh of relief from the supreme order from Mochizuki City, and immediately spoke to Bloom: "His Royal Highness the Prince agrees that the Second Armored Knights Regiment will attack, and wishes good luck to Mr. Colonel. ”

"Haha! Thank you very much for the blessings and see you later! ”

On the flight deck of the "Dawn", Bloom, who was already ready to go, ended the call with Zehir and smiled and gave a thumbs up to his cousin Kirov, who was an assistant pilot next to him.

Kirov nodded, snapped a red button, and the mechanical armor activated the magic steam engine, and a shrill whistle sounded.

The airship's hatch slowly opened, and Bloom was the first to rush out with his mechanical armor, leaping towards the Gobi Desert. The heavy mechanical armor fell rapidly, and the yellow sand below quickly expanded in the field of vision.

It was the first time for Kirov to experience the taste of falling from a thousand feet in a mecha, and he couldn't help but hold his breath nervously, his face slightly pale. Bloom's face did not change, and he calmly pulled a wrench, and there was a muffled thud behind him, and the mechanical armor opened his parachute, and the speed of his fall immediately slowed down.

The orange-red parachute blooms over the night-shrouded Gobi Desert, like a lone lamp drifting in the wind. But this "lamp" soon was no longer lonely, and a hundred heavily trained armored knights jumped out of the flight deck one after another following the footsteps of the regimental commander, successfully opened their parachutes, and the orange lights gradually lit up in the night sky, as if the sky was full of stars, slowly falling towards the position where the sand bandits were entrenched.

Bang! The four-ton iron giant stepped onto the blood-mottled yellow sand, letting out a muffled thunderous roar, and the sand and dust under his feet were scattered.

Bloom sensed that the mechanical armor was sinking rapidly on the soft sand, and slammed a button in time, and the mechanical armor foot stretched out a pair of wide upturned skis, to be precise, "sand boarding", the stress area of the mechanical armor foot increased tenfold, and the center of gravity returned to stability.

Bloom whistled in satisfaction, his fingers continued to pull, and the weapon safety of the mechanical armor was opened, and the magic crystal cannon and the large saber appeared in the palm of the mecha, and he slashed the parachute rope with a backhand.

Kirov opened the hatch, and the night wind blew fine sand in his face, and he couldn't help but sneeze. The young dwarven mage adapted to the environment a little, quickly made a spell casting gesture, and fired a 0-ring "Dancing Light Technique" into the sky as a signal flare, and then closed the hatch to isolate the fierce wind and sand of the desert at night from the enchanted constant temperature cabin.

The magically shaped green ball of light floated into the air, hovering and dancing above the mechanical armor of Bloom and Kirov, and soon attracted the attention of the other armored knights who had descended, knowing that it was the location of the commander plane, and hurriedly activated the mechanical armor to gather over.

"Report to the chief, the 9th plane is back!"

"Report to the chief, the 71st plane is back!"

"Report to the chief, the 16th plane is back!"

……

There was a constant sound of energy coming from the onboard magic channel. Kirov recorded the assembled knights in one hand and kept a timer in his pocket watch in the other. When the communication station returned to silence, Kirov put down his pen and turned to his cousin and said: "Ten minutes is over, ninety-eight mechanical armors are assembled in place, and No. 11 and No. 32 encountered updrafts on the way to the airborne, and the landing point deviation is large, and they are still on the way to the assembly point, do you want to wait for them?" ”

"No waiting!" Bloom waved his hand angrily, "Tell those four fools to find a way to catch up, and if they can't join the war in time, they won't want to get a drop of wine this year!" ”

Kirov stuck out his tongue and relayed Bloom's words to the two lone mechanical armors through the magic channel, and it was expected that the pilots of the No. 11 and No. 32 mechanical armors would definitely not want to be forced to quit drinking, so they had to desperately chase after the large army.

Counting the commander's aircraft, the 2nd Far Eastern Armored Knights Regiment assembled 99 mechanical armors on the Gobi Desert and advanced to the sand bandit positions in a horizontal formation under Bloom's orders. Since there was no grenadier to cover the operation, Bloom repeatedly emphasized keeping a distance from the bandits as much as possible to ensure that the opponent was within range of the cannon and not too close to the mechanical armor, so as to give full play to the advantage of the fierce firepower of the armored knights and avoid the shortcomings of the lack of flexibility.

The dwarven pilots, who had undergone a year of rigorous training, lived up to Roland's expectations, forming a long line on the Gobi Desert, with the adjacent mechanical armor opening a distance of 30 to 50 yards, which was convenient for mutual support and did not interfere with each other's activity space, the assistant pilot kept an eye on the friendly forces within the visual range on the left and right sides, and the main engine turned on the booster engine and manipulated the mechanical armor to advance towards the sand bandit position.
