Chapter 388: Titan Descends from the Sky, War Thunders!
The night sky is silent, the stars dot the sky, in the vast mountains and Gobi, three huge magic guided aircraft skim the sky in a triangular formation, and six smaller magic guided aircraft surround it, serving as an escort, if there are still brave travelers or caravans in this desolate wilderness traveling overnight, they will be shocked and speechless-before the dawn of magic technology and the various magic guided aircraft have not yet joined the military system of the nations as mature combat weapons, at this time the flying formation flying in the sky, Perhaps it was already the largest array of magic guided aircraft that Noren could appear.
However, this is not the most shocking thing - the most impressive thing is that the belly of the three large aircraft is linked to a stiff and cleverly woven steel rope sling, and these three large aircraft with extremely high load-carrying capacity and can be called a strong man in the air jointly lift a terrifying big thing...... Slender hands and feet, explosive muscles bulging, gray skin is as hard and powerful as a rock, the toned body is like a giant in myths and legends, the huge body of more than ten meters high is enough to make all fearless courage collapse without a trace, the tightly closed eyes, hiding the invincible thunder power.
It is a titan giant, an alchemical creature that controls thunder and uses to project and swing, and can be used as both long-range support and melee hand-to-hand raids, and is the ultimate weapon of the United States of Austria.
As one of the Elemental Federation's highest achievements in the field of alchemy, and the ultimate land battle weapon alongside the puppet dragon, it has become a symbol of the strength and wisdom of the United States of Arcane and French, a symbol of magic and ruin, with a long history and high honor. Hundreds of years ago, great empires collapsed and the Dark Ages arrived. Noren was caught in the quagmire of the clans' scuffle, and the thunderous and towering Titan attack group met the dragon legions that fell from the sky and swooped down from the sky with thunder and lightning in their hands. That blood-boiling scene is still talked about by the world despite the passage of time. Never forget.
Now, the Elemental Federation has sent an aerial formation to fly to the border with the Holy Sword Province with a Titan in an aerial formation, and their purpose can be imagined...... In addition to this Titan, each of the three transport planes carried twelve elite special warfare mages and their full equipment in their bellies, as well as the commander-in-chief of the operation, an old man in white robe with white hair.
"Master, you are about to reach the minimum safe radius, and according to the information that has been obtained, there is a Sanctuary mage who can summon a giant eagle among the targets. In order to ensure the safety of the flight formation, we will drop the attack force in three minutes, and then immediately turn back to the north. The driver's voice came from the short-range atmospheric resonance communicator, "Please prepare for the airborne landing with the master, and inform the Titan pilot to make a counter-shock action!" ”
"I see." The white-robed mage replied in a deep voice, and the Sanctuary-level divine mind communicated sound waves and made contact with the Titan pilot who was waiting inside the Titan. "Amuro, are you ready?"
Titan piloting is a new profession, and previous generations of Titans did not have the margin to carry drivers due to their technology and size. However, with the rapid development of magic technology, the alchemy science of other countries is also constantly improving, and the manufacturing process is improving. The application of new ideas and research results is developing rapidly...... When a major breakthrough cannot be made in the field of technology in the short term, the hard combat power of the Titan itself has been temporarily discovered to the extreme. In order to better develop the power of this alchemical weapon, the military research institutions of the Elemental Federation began to consider how to enhance the soft power of the Titans. Some plans, which had been shelved for some reason, were once again on the desks of the masters.
The biggest flaw in alchemic weapons is intelligence - although the Golem's AI simulation system has long been mature, any mage can plant a spiritual seed in the Golem's driving core, causing it to grow and evolve into a simulated intelligence that performs a fixed program...... But the fake is the fake, and the Golem's AI can only make them mechanically execute commands and adopt fixed behavior patterns, lacking flexibility and growth, which will give cunning enemies an opportunity to take advantage of.
Even the mighty Titans are no exception.
If it is a metal golem unit that serves as the backbone of the army and wins by numbers and military formations, the shortcomings of artificial intelligence can be ignored, but for the Titans, who are scarce in number, have amazing combat effectiveness, and have powerful strategic deterrence capabilities, the flaws and limitations of artificial intelligence are indeed intolerable fatal shortcomings......
On this issue, the elemental mages casually plagiarized the necromancer's thoughts, and the dead faces who were also plagued by the slightly mutilated intelligence of the top undead creatures of the bone dragon series had a natural advantage in solving this problem - the Void Night Palace configured a group of the most elite air combat mages with frost dragons, bone dragons, blood dragons, ender dragons, ghost dragons and other undead dragons according to their rank, strength and military merit. They use their rich combat experience and advanced necromancy skills to control the undead dragons to fight together with themselves, making up for the lack of intelligence and combat experience of these high-level undead, and also relying on the strong combat power of the undead dragons to improve their combat ability and survivability, and derive more kinds of aerial tactics from this...... It's really a dick and has no friends.
According to this line of thinking, after generations of improvement and progress, the concept of the Titan pilot has finally entered maturity from paper, and the highly trained and experienced Titan pilot is connected to the spiritual imprint of the Titan giant, so that this terrifying land weapon can perform more flexible combat missions and tactical actions, greatly enhancing the survivability and combat efficiency of the Titan...... Amuro, as the white-robed mage spoke, was one of the lucky ones chosen among thousands of mages in the kingdom of mages.
There is no mental synchronization rate to control the undead dragon, as long as the spell attainment is strong enough, so the dragon rider fighting gods in the realm of death are all extremely talented and powerful air combat mages, but it is not so easy to train a Titan pilot!
"I ...... It's the best person to drive a Titan! Amuro repeated in his mind the thought that had been so firm for a long time, and then replied loudly to the master who commanded the battle, "Lord Saruman! I'm ready! ”
The flight formation lowered its altitude, and its beautifully shaped iron wings swept across the sky. The pilot shouted loudly, and the signal lights in the cabin turned red and green again. The captains gave a short but powerful command: "Open the shield!" ”
The arcane shield unfurled, and the secret door under the seat compartment burst open. The battle-hardened mages were thrown out of the cabin one by one, harnessing the wind and stabilizing their bodies, and as well as heavy metal boxes, the landing gear on top of which ejected huge black umbrella flowers and whistling down in the cold night sky.
The personnel and the equipped transport plane suddenly lightened, and then, the pilots of the three transport planes pressed the button to untie at the same time, and the steel cable riveting device for lifting the titan suddenly collapsed. The wind was howling, and the huge titan put on a standard anti-collision landing posture, and the giant of more than ten meters fell from the sky, and finally hit the ground with a bang!
The transport plane, which had left all the loads behind, was no longer burdened, and the powerful power propelled the Steel Wings back into the night sky, and after half a circle in the air, the nine flying formations immediately turned back to the north, and according to the original flight plan, flew towards the new flight target located at the Fury Thunder Fortress on the northeastern border of the mage country. Here, they will replenish their energy and depletion, and if the ground attack force misses and fails to destroy the target aircraft, the six air combat vehicles serving as escorts will take off again. Join the air combat units of the Raging Thunder Fortress and embark on an aerial hunt!
Seeing the flying formation go away, a Sanctuary Master named Saruman descended from the sky. Thirty-six elite special operations officers from the United Austrian States Scavenger Force landed in batches with their equipment boxes escorted down in batches. The half-kneeling Titans moved their bodies for a moment, then slowly stood up. The overwhelming height and size are visually striking, and this Titan looks different from the mainstream Titans...... It actually carried a lot of weapons and equipment.
Five large iron spears shining with cold light on their backs, huge discus-like discus discs hanging from their waists, armor on their shoulders, battle skirts around their waists, and bracers on their hands...... It seems that all kinds of strange things have been added by the researchers of the alchemy department with strange personalities. You must know that in the Elemental Federation, especially in places like the Alchemy Military Development Department, the so-called tradition and glory are simply not worth mentioning, and the brain hole is the king, no one will insist that "the Titan must use Thunder for long-range attacks and melee combat, and use other ridiculous magic weapons and martial arts to violate the glorious tradition and long-standing honor of the Titan", and even if it were not for the limitations of size and consumption factors, the masters of the Alchemy Military Department would be eager to install the newly developed "Missaka-class" electromagnetic magic cannon on the Titan's arm- Although it was originally designed to be a powerful naval gun, it is now successfully starting to be installed in the Federal Navy.
But in any case, there is obviously a better choice, but it has to travel thousands of miles to transport a Titan over, and the purpose of the Elemental Federation can be imagined - it must be to test the reliability and combat efficiency of the weapon system installed on this Titan through actual combat...... In this respect, elemental mages and necromancers are simply a virtue.
Saruman glanced at the Titan behind him expressionlessly, and then said in a deep voice, "Check the equipment." ”
Thirty-six elite special warfare mages carried out the order silently and efficiently, the main weapon in their hands, the secondary weapon behind their back, from the long-handled staff to the arcane wheel blade, according to the division of labor within the squad, their weapons were different, the mage's short knife tied to the outside of the thigh, the lightning lightning launcher on the bracer, the various potions on the chest tactical buckle, the spell scroll hidden everywhere on the body and within reach, the tactical waist pack on the waist, and the missile staff on the other side of the thigh......
After the inspection, they put their hands on the magic pattern recognizer of the metal box next to them, after the identity verification was completed, the metal boxes lit up with the light of magic, after a sound of metal rubbing, the huge metal objects began to deform, the heavy structure was handed over and back, and the metal war horses were formed one after another, these golem puppet creations moved four slender and powerful horse legs, stepped on the ground, and red spiritual flames flashed in their eyes.
"Gentlemen, before we go, let's make a long story short, we have already understood in the briefing room before, this mission, there are three purposes." Saruman didn't carry any equipment, just holding a magic staff, the night breeze blowing his long white beard, and the arrogant and impatient mood of the Sanctuary powerhouse infected each of his subordinates, "First, cooperate with the Titan to fight, collect battlefield numbers, conduct actual combat drills, and test the experimental weapon system on this Titan." ”
"Second, destroy the large magic guide aircraft hidden in the target building, and don't let it escape."
"Third, raze the Templars' secret stronghold here and kill every target who tries to resist, the scavenger forces have suffered a shameful defeat in Callo that has brought shame to the United States, and you must wash away the shame!"
A sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, at any time, the method of agitation is more effective, and the white-robed mage said deliberately: "If we let go of the target, it will be the turn of the local air force of the Angry Thunder Fortress to wipe our butts." ”
Obviously, this sentence is more effective than a thousand angry and incitement.
The members of the special operations force clenched their weapons, picked up the remaining equipment boxes, and stepped on the metal war horses in silence, Saruman glanced at the Titan, and said in a deep voice: "Amuro, it's time to go!" ”
The Titan opened his huge pale golden eyes, took a step, and walked silently and forcefully in the direction of the target, the terrain along the way was rugged, but the prior reconnaissance had already planned the route of travel, the Titan's actions were double-line manipulation, the driver was the mainstay, supplemented by the Titan's own mental intelligence, when the driver could not continue to fight for some reason, or was not present at all, the Titan's autonomous consciousness could still drive the Thunder Body to continue fighting, and usually served as an auxiliary function, fine-tuning the small mistakes when the body was advancing, It won't make the Titans slip with one foot in the air.
The special warfare mages are manipulating metal war horses and galloping forward along the mountain road, unable to rise into the air and unable to engage in air combat, because the other side has a sacred domain mage who is very good at air combat, as well as a good defensive force, in the case of not being able to ensure air supremacy, the best choice is to carry out a ground assault with the support of the Titans!
In a mountain col, two people on patrol duty were lazy here, and suddenly heard a few dull roars, like a dragon walking here, one of them raised his head, and by the dim starlight, he suddenly found a huge black figure standing in the distant mountains, faintly only seeing the outline, he wondered: "When did a statue be built in the place where this bird doesn't?" ”
"No...... This is not a statue......" The eyesight of the companion next to him was better than his, and after seeing the comer clearly, his face turned white in an instant, and he took a few steps back, and the patrolman shouted hoarsely, "Titan-"
As soon as he finished speaking, a snow-white light shone in the sky, thunder exploded, and a blazing electric light swept across the sky, pouring the thunder of judgment towards the distant earth! (To be continued......)
