Chapter 160: Airships and Air Combat

Angusari, the capital of the Kingdom of Norsbod, the city that never falls.

On the two golden rings of gravity, the light of the magic element shimmered, exuding a dreamlike color, and the entire floating city moved towards the northwest at a slow and steady speed.

Many children ran to the edge of the floating island, shouting at the scenery outside the island, and excitedly running around the path on the edge of the island.

In the central castle of Angusari, Rhea Catnari, the queen of the north, dressed in a simple but luxurious knight's suit, stood on a balcony on the castle, looking at the cold wind in the distance, and a touch of ice shone in her azure pupils.

At this moment, a short-haired girl pushed open the glass door of the balcony and walked in: "Your Majesty, it turns out that you are here." ”

"What a rarity." Queen Rhea turned her head to look at the lively girl in front of her, "Isn't the Magic Workshop busy?" ”

"In order not to interfere with the operation of the gravity ring, all magic equipment has been banned from operation, and the magic workshop has been completely shut down, so I am almost moldy now!" The girl yelled angrily.

Queen Rhea smiled slightly, "When Angosari arrives in the Valley of Miracles, it will be a busy time for you. ”

A worried expression appeared on the short-haired girl's face: "Rhea, I heard that it is not some evil monster that occupies Miracle Canyon, but a group of good goblins. ”

Looking at the girl's expression, Queen Rhea sighed: "Luoluo, politics is not as simple as you think. The soldiers crave war and merit, the people crave more territory and jobs, and I need to prove to the nobles and the church that I am not a vase queen through war and new territories. Queen Rhea said with a hint of displeasure on her face, as if she remembered something unhappy, "Not long ago, the church sent a 'Dragon Slayer Brave' who jumped out of nowhere, under the banner of the pioneer lord, bypassed me and ran to the enclosure of the Miracle Canyon. This is a rather dangerous sign that the aristocracy and the church are already dissatisfied with me. ”

The short-haired girl looked surprised: "Is the matter so serious?" ”

"As far as interests are concerned, I'm still quite grateful to those Mona, if they hadn't driven out the pioneer lords sent by the church, I'm afraid I would be very passive now. So this time, I'm bound to win! Before the church gets its hands on it again, I will bring Canyon of Miracles into the Kingdom's grasp. ”

Under the Queen's icy gaze, the floating city of Angsari made its steady progress, flying over snowfields, over hills, over rivers and forests, through the towering Annarinal Crater, and into a vast basin surrounded by mountains.

The common people took refuge in the castle, the army took over the city's defenses, and the lookouts, blessed by the Hawkeye spell, watched out into the distance.

Not far away, Mona's Wyvern Scouts roamed around, on guard, keeping their distance, scouting the floating city of Angusari and monitoring Angersali's movements.

"Kobold Dragoons? The weapon is a stone? Where did these poor ghosts come from? Don't even have some decent weapons? On the castle's watchtower, a heavily armed dwarven general with a telescope observes the wyvern scouts, "If these wyverns were my men, I would have matched them with dwarves or halflings with heavily armored knights, and then with spears and dragon spears." ”

"General Folsky, are we going to send someone to get those scouts away?" An adjutant asked.

"Who to send? Sending you? The dwarven general looked at his lieutenant with a stupid look, "Or are you going to use the airship to engage in air combat with the Wyvern?" ”

The airship is equivalent to a bomber, although the flight speed is not fast, but the load is strong, and the ground attack power is full, but if the bomber is allowed to play air combat with the fighter, it is definitely a meat bun and a dog!

"Don't we have a knight too?" The adjutant looked puzzled.

"Oh~ Come on. Those knights are the queen's treasures, and I can't do it......" The dwarven general touched his chin, "Hmm...... This matter is still a headache for Her Majesty. The dwarven general handed the glasses in his hand to the adjutant, "You keep an eye here, I'll go see the queen." ”

"Yes! My lord. The adjutant saluted.

The dwarven general left the watchtower and went to the royal palace.

In the palace, Queen Rhea sits on the throne, and the magicians project a map of the Miracle Canyon onto the ground, forming a huge sand table that shows the surrounding terrain to everyone, and marks the enemy's strength on the sand table based on the feedback of the scouts. A group of heavily armed knights stood around the sand table, looking at the map and the queen on the throne, waiting for orders, ready to set out for battle.

Just then, a dwarven general walked in with a big grin.

"General Folsky, what's the situation?" A knight asked the dwarven general who walked in.

"It's still like that bird, a few flying dragon thieves peeping in the distance, and they don't look like they're going to fight at all." The dwarven general scolded, "I figured that it wouldn't be a problem to let them peep around all the time, or send someone to kill those flying lizards!" By the way, you can also test their combat effectiveness. ”

The dwarven general said as he looked at a young human knight standing next to the sand table, "What do you think?" Captain Kara. ”

"I follow the Queen's orders." The young human knight wore light leather armor that was easy to move, with only iron armor inlaid on his chest, arms, and joints, a black cloak on his back, a short sword, and two small and delicate magic muskets around his waist.

Most knights looked down on muskets, so few knights carried muskets as weapons.

Although the magic guide musket has the advantage of being easy to use and can be used by ordinary people, its power is fixed and does not change depending on the user's strength. For ordinary soldiers, the musket is a very good and powerful weapon, which can even defeat the strong with the weak, so that ordinary soldiers can also pose a threat to the strong with silver; However, for knights with extraordinary strength, the magic musket is inferior to the bow and arrow and spear in terms of power and range, so most knights look down on the musket.

And this knight who uses the magic guide musket as the main weapon is the magic guide unit that Queen Rhea spent a lot of money to build, and it is also one of the few air combat troops in the Northbird Kingdom.

Many people in the kingdom have opinions about Queen Rhea's spending a lot of money to build such a flashy air combat force. Therefore, after hearing the words of the dwarven general, everyone turned their eyes to the queen who was on the throne, intending to see the excitement.

Queen Rhea pondered for a moment, looked at the projection of the viewers, and cast her eyes on the young knight standing below.

Queen Rhea: "Captain Kara. ”

"In!"

Queen Rhea: "This is the first battle of the Flying Wizard Force, and I hope you can win beautifully." ”

"Your will!" The young knight smacked his chest with his right hand and saluted.

Soon, the knight left the palace, gathered his teammates outside, and set off.

In order to obtain the best battlefield intelligence, the queen and her party also moved from the palace to the outside, standing on the balcony of the palace, observing the distance.

Compared to the huge floating city, the four flying dragons in the distance were like ants, very inconspicuous.

Not long after, a small airship departed from the harbor of the floating island and flew in the direction of several wyverns.

"Hey, hey! Is there any mistake? Those people weren't planning to fly an airship to deal with the Wyverns, were they? A nobleman watching the battle couldn't help but laugh, "Are they being funny?" ”

"No, the airship is supposed to be the bait." The dwarven general touched his chin, a smile on his face, "That's funny. ”

Hearing the dwarven general's words, a smile appeared on Queen Rhea's face, but the clenched fists revealed the tension in her heart.

Airships are suitable for attacking ground targets, and their air combat capabilities are very low, like bombers. Although the Wyvern can deal with ground targets, it is best at air combat, just like a fighter jet. According to the general understanding, when a fighter encounters an enemy bomber, it will definitely rush up with great pleasure and then shoot the enemy down with ease.

But when this group of flying dragons faced the airship that rushed out, they didn't have the slightest idea of attacking, but directly spared a circle, kept a distance from the airship, and circled around the floating city. The airship is inferior to the Wyvern in terms of speed and agility, and in the face of the Wyvern's evasion, the airship seems to be at a loss.

"The bait was seen through?" The dwarven general looked surprised, "These rabbits are very smart. ”

At this time, the wheelhouse of the airship.

"Captain, these dragons don't play cards according to common sense at all! What are we going to do? A wizard knight shouted.

The knight captain gritted his teeth: "Attack them with the ballistas on the airship!" ”

"This ...... At this distance, it's impossible to hit the shot, right? ”

"It's okay to scare them and force them to take the initiative to attack us!"

"Roger! ~”

Accompanied by the order of the captain of the knights, the pilot of the airship conveyed the order to the artillery team in the airship. Soon, black openings opened in front of the airship, as well as on the left and right sides, and some ballistas were pushed out of them.

The artillerymen attached stone shells to the ballistas and ......

"Bang! ~”

The airship shook, and a stone projectile the size of a basin flew out.

At this distance, the hit could only be by faith, and the stone projectile flew from a great distance away from the wyvern. Although the stone bullet was far away, it also scared Mona who was driving the dragon!

……

At the same time, in the forest.

Green rode a chocobo, in the forest, holding a telescope, observing the situation in the distance. Behind Grimm, there was also a large group of bipedal wyverns, with their heads down, their wings curled, and their bodies covered with vegetation camouflage, lying on the ground, crawling slowly on the ground.

The Wyvern moves like a turtle on the ground, but compared to the big guys in Floating City, the Wyvern can barely keep up with that speed. So Green took a group of bipedal wyverns and hid in the forest, waiting for the opportunity.

"Airship? Stone bullets? This is how airships fight? Green frowned slightly.

As a traverser, Green had not seen the way this world was to fight, but if the airship's means of attack were only to this extent......

"It's almost time for the scout team to strike, right?" Green is looking forward to the battle between Wyvern and Airship.

The price of telecommunication equipment is high, so Green only bought two pairs, so naturally it is impossible to equip every squad with communication equipment. Therefore, before the team set off, Green gave the captain of each team the right to make his own judgment, and at this time, it depends on Mona's own judgment.

If the leader of this reconnaissance team is smart enough, he should take the initiative to carry out a tentative attack after discovering that the airship is not a threat.

Perhaps hearing Grimm's heart, the Wyverns suddenly rose in height. Then he distanced himself from the airship again......

"That's too cowardly, isn't it!?" Green and the knights in the airship burst out at the same time, "Don't these rabbits have a little guts?" ”

"Captain, rabbits are inherently timid." In the airship, a knight spoke.

"It's not a way to go on like this!" The Knight Captain looked mad.

"Captain, why don't you go back and drive a few more airships?"

"No! Her Majesty is still waiting for our results! It's not that you don't know how much pressure Her Majesty is under, this is our first battle, and we must not only win, but beautifully! ”

"But captain, these rabbits are not fooled at all." The knight smiled wryly, "If they don't come, we won't be able to catch up with them even if we rush out." ”

The "Flying Wizard Unit" relies on a magic cloak with the [Flying Technique] spell attached to it to achieve flight. Compared to the flying dragon, which is a natural flying creature, the duration of the flight technique is limited, and the flight speed is difficult to surpass the flying dragon, so there are many drawbacks. Although the flight speed is slow, the "Flying Magic Force" is a real air combat unit. As long as you can get close to the wyverns, relying on the superb combat skills and luxurious equipment of the knights, you will definitely be able to easily torture and kill this group of wyverns!

On the floating island, the queen and the nobles who watched the battle also sensed the plight of the knights.

"It's not good." The dwarven general Folsky frowned, "Although the 'Flying Wizard Force' showed good combat effectiveness when fighting with the captured flying monsters, but on the real battlefield, once it encountered a smart enemy, the 'Flying Wizard Force' was too passive. ”

"The birth of any class of troops needs to pass the test of time, and it is not possible to invent a new class of troops by patting on the head." A nobleman smiled and glanced at the Queen of the North.

Queen Rhea's face turned pale.

In the airship, a trace of ruthlessness suddenly appeared on the face of the knight captain!

"Let's give up the airship!" The Captain of the Knight spoke, "Let's walk over the ground and make a surprise attack!" ”
