"It's about 1,200 sails away from the floating city."

"Understood. Retract all the balance wings, increase your speed to 80% of your maximum speed, and try to get through this minefield. After hearing the Observer's report, Yulia gave the order in an orderly manner. Under her command, the Elseiu was deftly dodging the Society raiders patrolling the city, approaching the floating city.

"Hmm...... It's really unpleasant. Watching the dots on the radar that represented the Society's assault boats gradually disappear, Estelle said angrily, "Anyway, we are all going to go to the floating city, why don't we force our way up?" The El Saiyu is far superior to the Society's assault boats. If you can eliminate some of them, you should be able to help your father share some of the pressure. ”

"The idea is good, but the risk is too great." Heliga answered Estelle's doubts, "First of all, the Elsey is positioned as a cruiser, and its advantages lie in its strong cruising ability, cruising speed, and maneuverability. Although the ship is also equipped with attack methods such as main guns and machine guns, it must be said that it is not much better than the Yukai Air Force, which is positioned as an attack boat. Even if the operators on the Elseiu are highly skilled, but when the hardware facilities are not actually superior, once they are dragged by the locality, whether it is to call a large number of reinforcements or attract the attention of the main ship of "Gurolias...... Our ultimate goal is very difficult to achieve. Don't forget, our main goal is to land on that "floating city". ”

"In other words, even if we encounter an enemy, we can only run away quickly?" Estelle hung her head.

"Hmm...... I'll think about that side first. Mura, who was sitting in the gunner's seat, said—by the way, he was a versatile elite of the Imperial Army, so he was familiar with all kinds of work in piloting airships——, "But if the other side is difficult to entangle, we still want to get rid of the pursuit and force land in the floating city as the first consideration." ”

"Hey...... It's not cool, but that's the way it can be. Estelle hung her head, she still understood after all, but her worries about her father and the people on earth were difficult to dispel.

"I understand." Joshua said softly at this time, "But we are here to work for—"

The timing he chose to brush his favorability can be said to be perfect. The companions were also smart enough to see Joshua's thoughts at the moment, and no one would choose to spoil the atmosphere unwisely. However, the sound of the sirens that sounded in the cabin interrupted the thoughts of everyone present.

"What's wrong?" Looking at the astonishing amount of data on the side of the dashboard, Yulia was taken aback, "This reaction equivalent, is it-"

"That's right...... It's the "Gallolias". Joshua said solemnly, "It looks like it's hovering around this city in the sky." ”

"It is reported that at eight o'clock, a super-battleship with a total length of 250 sub-moments is approaching." The observer's voice was a little nervous, it was the first time he had read such a large number from a data table.

"There is no doubt that it is." Heiliga also said solemnly, "I can only make one more detour." ”

"Both maneuverability and maximum speed are the advantages of the Elseyu." Joshua, who was the only one present who knew the opponent's detailed performance, said eagerly, "But the opponent's hull is equipped with an amazingly powerful main gun, and there are a large number of automatic turrets that cover all directions without dead ends, and it is invulnerable both in attack and defense." ”

"In that case...... Yulia reacted immediately, "it's too late to bypass the other person's perception now...... Listen to me! The Elsaiu increased its speed to 100% and headed towards four o'clock, avoiding the pursuit of enemy ships as it headed for the skies above the floating city! ”

The clouds, which had been calm, suddenly became irritable and surged. The Elseyeu, which had been moving steadily through the clouds, suddenly looked like a frightened bird, looking at the situation around it in a hurry, as if it was full of danger. A thick cloud suddenly began to sunk violently towards the center, forming a huge whirlpool, which spun more and more urgently, and turned deeper and deeper, and the cloud became thinner and thinner as if it had been scraped by a spoon—and when the cloud cleared, a red battleship with a red body came out of it, and rushed towards the white wings with teeth and claws.

This is a delicate duel between two ships that represent the latest warship technology, a contest between Chase Central and Thirteen, and a contest of faith and technology between Dr. Russell and Dr. Novartis. The former's high-performance engine supports the extremely fast and dexterous El Saiyu, which is like an albatross in a rainstorm, narrowly dodging one missile after another; The Ancient Rolias, on the other hand, is an aerial hegemon eagle with sharp teeth and a huge body, and its hideous muzzles are aimed at the white wings, which are enough to destroy the town in an instant, and the strafing barrage composed of hundreds of missiles and dense machine guns is overwhelming.

One after another, the heat-tracking missiles followed closely behind the Elseyu, which was making a continuous emergency stop and turn in the air, refusing to let go of the white wings. But at this moment, Dr. Russell's proud new engine finally played its part - the full-speed El Saiyu, like a sharp arrow piercing the dawn, adjusted its direction, crossed a graceful trajectory, and rushed directly into the clouds at an incredible angle. The three missiles lost their tracking targets in an instant, only to end their mission with a powerful explosion. With one blow, the El Saiyu pierced through the clouds and ascended directly into the sky.

"Out of the Red Ark's track." As soon as the observer said this, everyone in the cabin breathed a sigh of relief. After a direct confrontation, it became clear to everyone that the Society was a lawless criminal organization with incredible power, and that the El Saiyu would have no chance of winning if it faced off against such a giant warship. At this moment, everyone really has a sigh for the rest of their lives.

By the time the Elsejo's proud, high-performance engine roared at full speed, carrying everyone above the thick clouds, the aerial city that had previously been only roughly outlined on the ground was already in front of them. All can take advantage of the wide view from the cabin to enjoy its beautiful panorama.

It is a fairyland-like courtyard with beautiful greenery. Buildings from ancient civilizations, full of technology and simple beauty, stand among the verdant trees, and babbling streams, staggered and quiet, dividing the entire city into neat areas. And in the middle of the emerald lake in the center of the city, an eerie tower soars into the sky, and it is shocking. Viewed from above, the layout of this floating city city is exactly the same as the pattern printed on the sacred canon of the Qiyao Church.

It's just that just when everyone was shocked by the treasures and crystallization of this ancient civilization, a black mecha was approaching the El Saiyu with a slight roar.
