"How long does it take to inflate?" Moriarty was also in good spirits, and when he heard that the big cloud could rise into the air and be seaworthy, his faintly tense heart couldn't help but let go of half of it.

"It's going to take at least three hours, because this big airship is so big, and it's equipped with big airbags...", as if a little difficult to speak, Tony looked at the other in embarrassment. Now that you are in danger, not to mention waiting in place for three hours, it is more dangerous to stay for one more minute.

"Very well, you take them and start operating immediately. I'll give you three hours. Moriarty nodded and affirmed, "Also, we have to rely on this big cloud to return to the north, so we must also have sufficient fuel." ”

"No problem, Your Excellency! There are a lot of charcoal cubes in the workshop, and there are enough of them. With that, Tony bowed to Moriarty, then turned and ran back to the airship.

"Do you really want to stay here until dawn?" Gregory looked idly at the frantically busy goblins and pouted.

"Do you have a better idea?"

"Unfortunately, no." Gregory shrugged.

"Then don't talk nonsense, follow me outside and see how you can spend the next three hours safely." Moriarty glanced at the alchemy life and walked out of the inner workshop.

Outside the workshop, a gunfire squad is guarding the door; On the side, the two heads of Naga, who had only wantonly killed for a while, were triumphant; White, on the other hand, stood alone behind a hidden air window, the lion in his hand roaring and waiting for him.

"How's it going?"

Moriarty walked over to White's side and peered through the window to see a large number of goblin hammermen surrounding the doors of the workshop. But in a clearing not far from the door. But there were dozens of goblin soldiers' corpses strewn with flesh and blood, looking hideous and cruel under the light of the torches. It seems that this is the result of the Naga counter-charge.

"Not bad." White didn't look back, and said directly: "I was rushed by Zhukov and Chekov just now, and the goblins were a little cowering, and now they are just blocking the road to prevent us from breaking through." ”

"Yes. It will take another three hours to prepare for the airship's liftoff, and a stalemate will be in our favor. Moriarty nodded.

"Three hours?" Hearing this, White frowned: "I won't be able to take off until almost dawn." At that time, it is possible that the reinforcements of the goblins from other quarters will also be almost there. And we are alone. And not yet familiar with air combat. will be very passive. ”

"At this point, we can only take risks." Moriarty sighed slightly: "It's already a surprise to be able to find the Great Cloud-class airship." ”

"Indeed."

White also had no better way, and besides, there were no other airworthy goblin airships available in the workshop.

Thereupon. In the following time. The town of Krupp fell into an eerie calm of tension.

Goblin aspect. They have called for help from the outside through the guò long-range magic communication device, and they don't have the courage to launch a strong attack against the luxurious lineup of the three-headed Naga; Olympus, on the other hand, was silent, and decided to stop the fighting for a while. Even the Gunfire Squad was sent to assist Tony with the airship inflation.

Finally, two and a half hours later, Tony excitedly ran to report that the big cloud was completely ready to take off.

"Alright, it's time for us to go. First go outside the town to meet Old Crow and them, and then return north. Moriarty immediately ordered the gate to be sealed completely, and then moved through the heavy timber in the workshop to block it.

"I hope the reinforcements from the Yugoslav Alliance will come later." White looked at the sky outside the window again, and there was a faint white haze in the direction of the east.

Back in the inner workshop of the workshop, Moriarty caught the first glimpse of the airbag above the large cloud airship, which was almost the same length as the hull. Perhaps this airship was really made for the Naga clan, and the front of the airbag also depicts the "eight-armed blade" badge unique to its race, which looks imposing.

"Take off immediately." Moriarty walked up the gangway in a few steps and came to the deck.

"Open the canopy and get ready to take off!" Tony has been tentatively appointed by Moriarty as the captain of the Great Cloud, and when he hears the order, he directly commands the other goblin fugitives who are serving as crew members.

As the full crew of the Olympus Commando completed boarding, the gangways were slowly retracted. At the same time, a large stream of flames poured out from the towering heat jets in the center of the airship, and with billowing smoke, the Great Cloud slowly broke away from its original slipway and rose into the air.

"That's pretty good stuff. It seems that the times are not standing still. Gregory leaned back on the side of the boat, looking at the ground that was moving away, and sighed.

"Watch out for possible ranged attacks from goblins. If necessary, fire suppression is carried out with burst arrows. Moriarty didn't have the leisure of alchemy life, and said to White in a cold voice.

"Understood."

In order to control the fierce battle situation, White had never used magic arrows in Krupp, but now there is no such restriction, and the lion's roar has been reloaded.

"Look! They drove the airship! Humanity is fleeing! ”

Outside the workshop, as the big clouds flew higher and higher and completely got rid of the cover of the workshop building, the goblins outside panicked. Seeing that the enemy was about to break through, some goblin soldiers immediately threw up the brass chain hammer and smashed it towards the airship.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

Due to the low altitude, many of these hammers succeeded in concentrating the hull of the big cloud. However, the large airships seem to have a special reinforcement design, perhaps to match the oversized load needs, so the hammers of these concentrated airships only break some paint on the wooden hulls, and the rest do not cause any damage.

"Whoosh!"

But after only one breath, an orange light shot down from the clouds, right in the center of a group of hammermen. Immediately, the flames that erupted were accompanied by a terrifying wave of qi, and nearly a dozen goblin soldiers standing in dense positions were wiped out at once. Receiving this blow, the morale of the other goblin garrisons immediately plummeted, and they hurriedly looked for shelter to dodge, and there was no longer enough strength to stop the airship.

"Let's go, go and join the others." Moriarty said, looking at the fire on the ground below.

Immediately, the airship turned to the north and sailed at a low altitude towards the outside of Krupp. After about a few minutes, they landed on the hidden hill of Margaret and the others. The crowd didn't have time to speak, but hurried up to the clouds, and then the clouds rose again and flew north.

"Hey, you guys really picked up 'Yangluo'. How did you find such a big goblin airship? ”

Standing on the deck of the airship, Guderian looked excited, talking and laughing. And unlike the other dwarves, Guderian didn't seem to be bothered by his fear of heights, and even leaned on the side of the ship with interest to look at the ground a few hundred meters below.

"Of course it's up to us!" Chekov triumphantly pointed to the eight-arm badge on the airship's airbag and said.

"Cut, it's up to you?" The silverbearded dwarf naturally wouldn't believe Naga's words, and shook his finger disdainfully.

"You—" Chekov waited to blow again, but was directly interrupted.

"It was reported that there were traces of airships in the northeast and southeast directions at the same time, a total of three. And it looks like the other party has spotted us and is flying towards us! In the observation room in front of the boat, Gustav, a temporary lookout, put down his brass goggles and reported urgently to Moriarty.

"Looks like these guys flew over overnight. Hey, it's hard enough for them to sail in the dark. Guderian tightened the hammer in his hand.

Sure enough, one or two extremely small black dots appeared in the northeast and southeast skylines.

"Another master has been killed, and it's no wonder that the Southern Alliance is not in a hurry." White smiled coldly: "I guess it's because of flying in the dark that caused me to get lost, otherwise there must be more than three goblin airships to reinforce it." ”

"Tony, is there an anti-aircraft weapon on the Big Cloud?" Moriarty turned to the acting captain.

"I'm sorry, no." Tony shook his head: "Da Yun is a typical transport airship, and it does not have combat capabilities in itself. ”

Indeed, this airship was built for the Naga to transport troops, and the device for aerial combat would not be configured at all.

"The air is not the ground. Without air combat weapons such as ballistas, we would have suffered a lot. On the side, the old werewolf said in a deep voice: "It's a pity that there is no 'empty knight' in Olympus, and your gargoyle has almost completely lost. ”

"White, Bruno, can your long-range shots suppress each other?" Moriarty nodded, looking at the two of them.

"The high altitude is not as good as the flat ground, and the wind is extremely strong, so the effective range of ordinary arrows and crossbows will be much shortened. Unless it is a heavy ballista, the weight of the giant crossbow itself can resist crosswind interference, so that it can accurately hit distant air targets. White, as a senior archery expert, said first.

"I can shoot far, but it's hard to be accurate in such an environment. Unless there is a 'month-level' shot, you can be sure. Bruno nodded in agreement.

"Month-level? Bruno, you're just 'Sanhua', where are we going to find a 'moon elf' temporarily? The silverbearded dwarf shook his head angrily.

"Don't argue just yet. Since there is no effective means of counterattack, all we can do now is to dodge and flee. Moriarty stopped the meaningless argument that followed, and turned to Tony, "Since there are enemy tracks in the southeast and northeast, let's fly west." ”

"West?" Tony's eyes widened, "West is but..."

"Yes, let's go in the direction of the coastline. If necessary, you can go directly to sea. Moriarty nodded affirmatively.

"Okay." Thinking about it, there was no good way, and the acting captain immediately carried out the order.

Soon, the clouds made a sharp curve in the sky and flew towards the west. Seeing the other party's actions like this, the three goblin airships that came from the reinforcements were also stunned, but after a few minutes of hesitation, they invariably pursued them again. (To be continued......)
