Chapter 308: Interception and Breakthrough
The "United Kingdom of the East" is not a country, but a parliament of independent city-states and independent kingdoms – somewhat similar to the "United Nations" on Earth.
If you look at the map, the north, east, and south landmasses form a C-shaped shape with a gap to the west, the Kingdom of Northbod in the north and the continent of Irene in the south across the sea, and the east is a "United Kingdom of the East" region composed of forests, swamps, mountains, inland seas, deserts, and many other complex terrains.
There are two routes from the Kingdom of Northbod to the Eastern United Kingdom: one is to go around the top of the C and travel overland from the north to the Eastern United Kingdom, and the other is to go directly from the East Coast to the sea and through the Channel to the Eastern United Kingdom. Due to the flood of monsters in the north, the land trade route has been cut off, so the sea route has become the only option.
At sunset, on the eastern coastline of the Kingdom of Northbod, five airships were distributed along the long coastline, patrolling the sky.
On one of the airships, the commander of the fleet, Knight Shore, was looking nervously at the map in his hand, and from time to time he looked up at the pilot's window of the airship: "Hasn't the target appeared yet?" ”
In the face of the knight's inquiry, the captain had to speak patiently: "Not yet, Your Excellency, Commander, you have already asked five times. ”
For the vast majority of people on the airship, this mission is just an ordinary mission, even if it fails, it is not a big deal, but for the young fleet commander, this mission is related to his future status and promotion! If this mission is not completed, it will be the first time and the last time he will command a fleet.
Just as the commander of the fleet was waiting with a nervous face on his face, suddenly there was an exclamation from a pilot.
"It's a flare!" One of the drivers shouted, "The target has appeared!" ”
"Where!?" The fleet commander jumped up directly, hurriedly ran to the window, and looked into the distance.
In the distance, a bright red light suddenly appeared in the sky! That's the flare that was promised before.
"It's finally there!" The fleet commander became excited, "Everyone, full speed ahead!" ”
Captain: "Target: Five o'clock!" Start turning! ”
"Power furnace accelerates!"
"Wind shield open! The power furnace is fully open! ”
At the captain's command, the airship began to turn, the magic furnace began to run at full speed, and the airship quickly moved towards the target position.
……
At the same time, Ms. Anna Bess was eating in the airship's restaurant. Suddenly, there was a loud noise outside the window!
"Border checks! The airship in front stops! ”
"Border checks?" Ms. Bess looked out the window in surprise. Not far away, a military airship of the Kingdom military was facing this side on the side, and the black muzzle of the gun was aimed at its own airship, and the meaning of the threat was fully revealed.
Storm Priest suddenly appeared in the dining room and walked over to Miss Beth: "Something is wrong. You prepare, we force a breakthrough! ”
Miss Beth looked at the Kingdom airship outside, and then at the Storm Priest beside her, "Forced breakout?" This airship of ours is just a civilian airship, and it only takes one salvo from the opposite side to destroy our airship! ”
"Wouldn't it be enough to destroy them before they attack?" The Storm Priest had a gentle smile on his face, but his words were anything but gentle.
"This ...... Do you need that? Ms. Bess panicked, "Isn't it just a check?" Just let them check it, right? ”
Storm Priest looked at Miss Beth and smiled meaningfully, "Get ready, keep an eye on your child, it might be a little bumpy later." ”
The Storm Priest turned away, leaving only the blue-faced Miss Bess behind.
The airship came to a very cooperative halt, as if ready to be inspected, but the pilots were ready to rush forward at any moment.
Soon after, the Kingdom airship approached, and a sorcerer flew out of the Kingdom airship with a hook lock, as if intending to use the hook lock to secure the two airships......
However, at this moment, the hatch of the small civilian airship opened, and the Storm Priest suddenly appeared at the door of the airship, and took off his priest's robes!
The Storm Priest had no clothes under his robes, only a pair of white panties on top and bottom, and his bulging muscles looked like a pair of bronze muscle armor! At the same time, the gentle smile on the Storm Priest's face disappeared and was replaced by a hideous expression.
"The storm is with me!" The Storm Priest shouted angrily, picked up the trident, and rushed out of the airship with a whirlwind!
The sorcerer with the hook lock was terrified! However, before he could react, the trident slammed directly into the magician!
"Bang!" The shield on the mage's body shattered at the sound, and at the same time, a powerful impact smashed it directly into the air.
"It's the priest of the Storm Goddess!" The sorcerer exclaimed, and fell into the ocean below the airship.
The Storm Priest ignored the sorcerer who had left the battlefield, and instead took the weapon and smashed it directly into the airbag of the opposite airship!
Although the airship looks huge, it is actually very fragile, and even the iron-clad and reinforced airbag will not last long in the face of the Storm Priest's attack.
"Magic cannon, fire! Destroy the airship on the other side! On the Kingdom airship, the captain gave the order without hesitation.
Along with the captain's order, the magic cannon on the airship roared at the same time! However, at this moment, the airship suddenly descended, and at the same time, a sudden gust of wind made the airship shake!
"Boom!" The magic cannon grazed the underside of the opposing airship - the attack missed.
The Captain of the Kingdom's expression changed slightly: "Magician, attack!" Kill that Storm Priest! ”
With the captain's order, the airship wizards flew out one after another.
Above the airship, the Storm Priest turns into a god of destruction, holding a trident, and frantically destroys the airship's airbags!
The magicians picked up their magic rifles and took aim...... However, at this moment, the Storm Priest suddenly rushed to the other side of the airship.
"Beware of hitting the airbag, give up shooting! Melee mode! A magician shouted angrily, and the magic rifle in his hand suddenly began to deform! After a few seconds, the magic rifle turned into a spear!
The magicians took their spears and charged towards the Storm Priest.
"Haha! Well done! The Storm Priest laughed and rushed forward, fighting the Magisters!
When the Storm Priest and the Magus were fighting, the airship began to descend slowly due to the Storm Priest's destruction, and the airship that the Storm Priest was riding on before took this opportunity to start accelerating forward in an attempt to get out of the battlefield.
"Captain, that airship is running away!" On the airship, one of the pilots spoke.
"Artillery team, can the magic cannon be aimed at the airship on the opposite side?" The captain picked up the communicator on the command platform and asked.
"No! The angle is too high! The magic cannon can't be aimed. The answer from the artillery came from the communicator.
Captain: "The artillery team gives up the magic cannon, takes the weapon, and goes to the deck for free fire!" Snipe the airship on the opposite side! ”
"Yes!"
On the orders of the captain, the soldiers ran out of the gun compartments, rushed to the deck, picked up the magic rifles, and began to shoot at the fleeing airship, trying to intercept it.
Under the fire of the magic rifle, the small civilian airship was quickly shot to the ground. But the "smallness" of the airship is only relative to other airships, and for an airship more than ten meters long, that kind of finger-sized hole is not enough for the airship to crash immediately.
The airship slowly moved away, but at this moment, a military airship of the kingdom appeared on the north and south sides!
On the airbag of the kingdom airship, the expression of the storm priest who was entangled with several mages changed slightly!
……
In the distance, Knight Shore, the commander of the fleet, held a magic telescope and observed the situation here.
"The Battle Priest of the Storm Goddess?" The fleet commander immediately recognized the identity of the bald muscular man who was attacking his airship.
Those who like to take off their clothes during battle are either fanatical followers of the Goddess of the Sea or fanatical followers of the Goddess of Storms, considering that this is in the sky, that bald man is the battle priest of the Goddess of Storms nine times out of ten!
"Your Excellency, what are we going to do next?" The captain looked at the commander behind him, "The Storm Priest's air combat ability is very strong, once we are entangled by him, we will be very passive. ”
"Leave him alone." The fleet commander pointed to the small airship that was heading overseas, "Fire the gun, destroy that airship!" ”
With "Acceleration" turned on, the speed of the military airship is very fast! Looking at the two Kingdom military airships that were directly rushing towards the small civilian airship, the Storm Priest was finally in a hurry.
"No!" The Storm Priest roared, and a whirlwind forced back the surrounding mages, and then flew straight up and pounced on the small civilian airship! However, it was already too late.
On the two military airships that had just joined the battle, the muzzles of the magic guide cannons lit up with brilliant light!
I saw the glow of magic sweeping across the sky, instantly submerging the small civilian airship that was fleeing.
