Chapter 23: Justice from Heaven
Commander Harvey Iniesta, the flagship of the Magic Fleet, Harvey Iniesta, is observing the battlefield through a projection device.
The commander, who looked "young", looked indifferently at the Imperial troops ravaged by artillery fire, and suddenly said coldly: "The barrage on the port side is too thin, what are the firefighters doing?" β
The liaison officer on the bridge hurriedly replied: "Report! Because the fleet was in too haste, the magic cannon on the port side was not sufficiently charged. That's why the density of the barrage is insufficient. β
Harvey frowned and said, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?" β
The liaison officer looked nervous, and he said, "Because the Haiboan is a command ship, so, that ......"
So there's no need to prioritize supplies, right, Commander Harvey's face was helpless.
In an air fleet, there must be a command ship. She also served as the flagship of the fleet. It's just that due to the configuration of weapons, the command ship has one-fifth the firepower of a standard type crit ship, so there is an unwritten rule in Ambrizette's army - the flagship's ammunition supply priority should be ranked last.
On the other hand, defense has been increased. It's just that in this way, it becomes an alternative that the attack is not as good as the crit ship, and the defense is not as good as the defense ship. If it weren't for the large amount of communications equipment on the command ship, it is estimated that this nondescript type of ship would be eliminated immediately.
The thought of sitting on such a floating ship made Harvey feel tired.
Fortunately, the smooth sailing of the battle gave him a little comfort, and he reached out and rubbed his temples, and Commander Harvey said, "Didn't you find the train cannon of the Empire?" β
"Report! Didn't find out! β
His Excellency the Captain nodded, satisfied.
(The gas mask man was very suspicious, but the information he provided was not in the slightest.) οΌ
Today's battlefield is in chaos because of the sudden entry of the air fleet. The most affected were undoubtedly the Imperial soldiers, who, despite their high level of training, had the human instinct to flee in the face of an attack that prevailed over the discipline in their hearts.
Groups of soldiers scrambled to escape from the barrage at the commander's retreat order, but often dropped a colorful magic missile halfway through, and then ended their short life with a loud bang.
The relentless battlefield never leaves anyone behind. Here, there is no protagonist.
Harvey only looked at it for a while and didn't plan to continue looking, after all, the most powerful weapons of the empire were not ready, and they had no natural enemies here.
Massacre, that's all the so-called work is.
But just as he was about to get up to make himself a cup of coffee, a small black dot on the projection screen attracted him.
The black dot started out as small, ant-like as an ant, but soon it grew bigger and bigger. Judging by his own experience, His Excellency the Captain judged that it fell from the head of the fleet, and the height seemed to be about 5000 meters.
The Commander of the Magic Guide was amazed at this, the air fleet was now flying smoothly at an altitude of 3,000 meters, and this strange little black dot actually fell from a height of 2,000 meters above their heads! And as the black dots grew bigger and bigger, he could faintly see the shape of the other party.
ββ¦β¦ Is that...... Drill bit? β
10 minutes ago......
Over the Brigna hills, the height is 5000 meters.
Pilot Barn gave his colleague a smack!
"Smack!" A crunch echoed in the cab and never dissipated for a long time. Bols, who was slapped awake by a slap, glared at Barnes angrily and yelled, "What kind of plane are you doing?!" β
"We're just airplanes...... Wrong wrong! Bastard! Look below! β
Barn, who remembered what was going on halfway through the vomit, hurriedly pressed his companion's head to the floor...... But don't get me wrong! The aircraft they flew was a high-altitude bomber, and the floor of the wheelhouse was made of transparent glass. From the driver's seat, you can look down and see the scenery below.
There is no doubt that this is a design that is extremely unfriendly to people with a fear of heights. But Barn and Bols, who have been in the cab for a long time, say they have long been used to it.
Bols, whose head was held by Barn, also saw the fleet below through the transparent floor.
"Ahh It's the Wizard Fleet, wow! β
Barn gave him another slap in the face, this time on the top of the head.
"What the hell is called!"
"But ......"
Bols looked panicked and said, "If they find out, we'll be finished!" β
"That's why you call the hell!"
Barn rolled his eyes and said, "Have you forgotten that our airship has a concealment technique arranged by the ensign?" β
"Huh?"
Bols was stunned for a moment, and then breathed a sigh of relief. "yes, yes, forget about this stubble...... So do you want to wake up the second lieutenant now? β
"Wake up, the original plan was to wake up the ensign when the magic fleet arrives in the afternoon. But now that the enemy has arrived ahead of schedule, there is no need for us to wait. β
After receiving an affirmative answer, Bols nodded to Barn, then picked up the radio at hand and said, "Ensign? Ensign Scarlett? Wake up, please! β
There was no reaction on the intercom.
Barn and Pols looked at each other, "The second lieutenant isn't awake, what's the matter?" β
Bols put the radio on and got up to leave the cab. "I'm going to wake up the lieutenant manually."
But just then, a voice came over the radio.
"Whew...... Hiss...... Stop, whew...... I can't imagine how you're going to [manually] wake me up. β
"Ensign!" Surprise Γ 2
"Whew...... Hiss...... Tell me what happened, succinctly. β
Barn hurriedly said, "Second Lieutenant, the target has arrived at the battlefield ahead of schedule. β
"In advance? What's going on?! β
Bols: "I don't know, the situation on the battlefield is very unfavorable for our army. The railway line, which was supposed to be completed in the afternoon, is not yet complete, and our most powerful weapon against the Magic Ship is not yet fully powerful...... By the way, second lieutenant, are you okay with your body?! It's a terrible gasp! β
Anjie: "Huh...... Hiss...... Call...... Big husband, cute big. It's just an ordinary high oxygen deficiency reaction, and you know I have a bad heart. β
It's not just bad, the two of them slandered in their hearts. On the plane, you have to carry an oxygen cylinder on your back at all times to function normally, and this heart is not ordinary bad!
"Alright, that's all for the small talk. I am also lucky that the enemy was able to arrive early. β
An Jie took a breath and continued: "Just continue to execute according to the original plan, you only need to drive the bomber over the enemy's head, and then ...... It's enough to put me down! β
Barn's palms were sweaty, and he opened his mouth to say something, but Bols winked at him, and he suddenly stopped talking.
Now, to say anything is to insult that one's will to fight and to be loyal. As transporters, they are only suitable to say one sentence in such an occasion:
"Good luck, second lieutenant! The Imperial Double Dragon Banner will always bless you! βΓ2
And An Jie replied: "Ah, for the glory of the empire!! β
The bomber, who had already driven the airship to the head of the fleet, opened its own cabin, revealing what was inside.
A black-black drilling truck is hanging quietly on a robotic arm.
It is more appropriate to say that it is not so much a drilling car as an oversized armor-piercing projectile. The drill-shaped warhead pointed straight at the ground, and the tail of the metal box was filled with the latest models of steam thrusters. And in the middle of it, the bodyβthe size of a young girl.
The robotic arm pushes the warhead out of the cabin and then suddenly releases!
An Jie, who was hiding in the drilling car, suddenly opened her eyes! The high-temperature magic began to power the warhead along the reserved pipe, and the already extremely fast warhead was accelerated by the gushing steam, and it was like a pitch-black lightning bolt straight into the ground!
If she left it alone, the moment An Jie landed would have been her death, but between her and the earth, there was still a magic guide floating ship in the way!
Commander Harvey's vest on the Hyperion was already soaked in cold sweat, but the speed of the drill was too fast for him to stop it......
"Boom !!!!"
The stern of the ship shook violently, and the elves on the bridge were swayed violently. When the shock wave passed, His Excellency the captain shouted regardless of his embarrassment: "Quick! Send someone to check on the stern of the ship immediately! Go and calculate the losses! Fast!! β
However, needless to say, the elves on the flagship are already doing it. At the stern of the ship, the maintenance workers who rushed to hear the news carried large bags and surrounded the drill that broke through the flagship's defenses and drilled into the hull.
"This guy's ability to break through the Seaboan's defenses is obviously enchanted! Bring me the file! β
The maintenance chief was about to bring a file and prepare to rub off the magic trick on the warhead, but when he came to the warhead, he realized: "Huh? Why are there no traces of the technique? β
"Because the magic of neutralizing the shield of the magic guide ship is my handiwork, eight~~ga~~"
In front of everyone's eyes, the warhead embedded in the hull exploded with a bang!
The shattered shrapnel swept away all those who surrounded it, and the flames of the explosion burned everything around it!
In the firelight, An Jie pulled out her breathing apparatus and threw the oxygen tank behind her aside like garbage.
"It worked! Air-to-air airborne operations! β
There was indescribable pride in his voice.
"Who are you?!"
An Jie looked at the person who spoke upβa long-eared elf trembling with fear from the scene in front of her.
"I'm a Spartan hell paratrooper...... It's not a skewer, listen up! I'm Imperial Mag Second Lieutenant Angel Scarlett! β
An Jie hooked the corners of her mouth and showed a "kind smile".
"It's a rabid dog that bites your life! And - the justice of the empire that is never late!! β
The relentless battlefield will not spare anyone. Here, there is no main character...... Because the protagonist went somewhere else~
