Lord Marin, it's starting to snow.

With Jason's reminder, Marlin turned over and looked at the sky, where a large snowflake was falling.

"It's snowing, and we're running out of time."

Marin turned around, took the mask from the pouch around his waist, snapped it to his face, and tied the strap to the back of his neck.

"We've seen the town of Walding and on the horizon we have plenty of time."

The dwarven tower master behind him replied.

Marin looked at Fio, the long red rope on the young branch of the World Tree that had transformed into a goblin was dancing wildly in the wind.

"Northeast wind, level six, pay attention to adjusting the angle of bombing, Quentin, climb with me with your people."

With the task scheduled in the channel, Marin began to adjust the height.

In the virtual sandbox, the dwarven mages in charge of ground attacks begin to fly horizontally, and the four mage battle teams responsible for covering them begin to move forward.

The Quentin Tower Lord was behind Marin with his battle group.

"The snow is heavier, and it's hard to identify the target visually." The dwarven tower lord below said loudly in the channel.

"According to the No. 2 plan, turn on the coordinate pre-input function and faction identification function of the goggles, and turn on the altitude reminder of the combat engine." As the order was given, Marin had already seen the black dots over the town in the distance, and they were gathering: "Quentin, you are in charge of high-altitude cover, and I am in charge of leading the team to break through the interception of the corrupt flies." ”

"No, Your Excellency, let me come." Quentin volunteered.

"You're too weak." Marin did not hesitate to refuse Quentin's request and began to descend in height.

"I'm weak?!" The tower master of the Mage Tower glanced at his deputy, and his deputy looked at his tower master with a hint of pity: "In terms of the strength of Your Excellency Marin, you are indeed too weak. ”

His Excellency the Tower Master still wanted to say something more, but his observer had already sounded the alarm: "Your Excellency Marin's psionic energy has exceeded the maximum unit of measurement of the observation instrument. ”

Quentin looked down, and around Marin, spears made of ice and snow were forming an awe-inspiring array.

"I ...... I was too weak. "Admitting one's weakness is a very painful thing, and looking at the following scene, the only thing Quentin can do is admit that this is the way to go.

The corrupt flies got closer, and Quentin's observer let out a scream: "Break through two hundred!" ”

"It's a big scene I've never seen before." Quentin's lieutenant muttered to himself.

"Maintain the formation, continue to climb, we are responsible for the safety of the combat group, the height is our best friend!"

………………

"I've only seen this number of Chaos Flying Units in history books." Meng Qiyi muttered in the channel.

Marlin begins to lock onto the Ice Guns' targets with the help of Goggles and Jason.

When the distance between the two sides approached a hundred yards, Marlin projected all the ice guns, and most of the flies relied on excellent flipping to pass the attack trajectory of the ice guns, but the ice guns often exploded when they approached them, at least one-sixth of the flies were shattered by the splinters and fell to the shells or wings, and many more were injured and could not maintain altitude or lose speed.

Fio gave Lorraine the weapon set it had guided, and it turned into a shield to stand in front of Marin, guiding Marin through the array of flies.

The World Tree shoots down at least seventeen flies in a stagger.

Marlin turned around after breaking through the line, and the chain of lightning jumped out of his hand and landed on the nearest fly, and then a strong electric light jumped over all the flies in that area in an instant, their shells began to shatter, and then burned, and the flies fell to the ground in flames.

Raising his neck and drinking the arcane potion, the psionic sea was filled in an instant and then emptied in an instant, the second lightning chain landed on the other side, and some fly knights were about to form a formation to break the mage's ranks, so they became the best targets in the eyes of the lightning chain, and in the blink of an eye, at least forty flies began to fall.

Marin stopped attacking the miscellaneous soldiers, and he turned to look at the giant fly that had risen from the town.

It's really big, just like the boss in a second-hand side-scrolling video game from the end of the twentieth century.

Jason's complaint caused Marlin to smile and reach out, and Fio landed on his hand, this time it turned into a good-sized arm guard that wrapped around Marin's left forearm.

Merlot handed her weapon set to Mana, and it turned into a hilt and landed on Marin's right hand.

Marin handed the two 75 guns to Manna and Lorraine, and they began to look at each other.

At a distance of two hundred yards, the 75 guns began to fire, the twigs of the World Tree clamped the cannon body, and the five batteries eventually crossed over with the huge flies that were maneuvering.

The fly is flying too fast and needs to be accelerated by about five degrees, and the second round of shooting is ready to begin.

Marin shared the coordinates of their own subspace shell storage, and Lorraine and Manna simultaneously dragged a magazine out of it, which they loaded onto the cannon.

At seventy yards, the second shot began, and Lorraine's four shells still did not catch up with the target, but the last one hit, hitting the fly in the belly, opening a hole in its belly.

Ordinary armor-piercing shells have no effect at all.

Mana's five shells missed again, and compared to the speed of about 1,000 meters per meter of armor-piercing shells, the high-explosive shells of the Blessed Holy Silver Salt, which had a velocity of only about 700, could not keep up with the target at all.

"Let me deal with it."

Marin gave the order and raised Fio to block the chaos projection, and the filthy ray was completely bounced off after hitting Fio.

So the knight riding the fly raised the long sword in his hand, wanting to rush up and solve the problem with the sword.

Turning on the afterburner, Marlin brushed against the chaos, and the opponent's sword slashed next to Marin's ear, and the lightsaber in Marin's hand sliced the knight directly in two.

When the fly turned around and wanted to chase Marin, when it turned around and lost speed, Mana, who had replaced it with a high-explosive bomb of Blessed Holy Silver Salt, opened fire with Lorraine, and the crossfire directly knocked the huge fly into a bloody corpse.

"We broke through!" There was good news from the battle group in the rear, and after Marin had shot down more than half of the targets in one go, the mages had eliminated the remaining flies, and they began to climb.

"Seven people were shot down." The tower owner gave bad news in the channel.

Ma Lin glanced at the list and unexpectedly found that Meng Quyi's form had darkened.

"Separate people to confirm the location of the downed people and see if they are still alive." Marin said as he turned around, forcibly pulling his position up, and looked at the spear thrown from the ground: "Don't fly too low, I confirm the existence of the spear." ”

So the attack group also began to climb - both horizontal bombing and dive bombing, they had learned.

"Confirmed dead Jack Marson, relics being recovered." The first bad news came from the squad responsible for inspecting the downed personnel.

Then the bad news kept coming, four of all those shot down were killed in battle, one did not tear open the Feather Fall scroll, presumably due to coma, one opened the Feather Fall, and then the blight in the wound hit by Chaos finally left him dead on the ground.

"Where's the war witch?"

"We didn't find her, wait a minute! We've seen flares! She fights on the ground! There are Chaos Infantry units! ”

Increasing winds and snowstorms began to block everyone's visibility.

"You continue to attack, the battle group will gather and may threaten the chaos ground forces of the attack group to disperse, pay attention to safety, I will support this daring girl." Marin glanced at the town ahead of him, then began to turn and fly in the direction where the flare was raised.

As he got closer, Marin saw Meng Tuyi fighting back and forth with a dozen plague messengers in the snow with a revolver and a long knife.

"Meng Yiyi, can you fly?" Marlin landed beside her, and with a flick of his hand, the mage's power palm slapped these short-eyed plague bringers away.

"No, the powertrain helped me block the knife, but the vent was cut open." Meng Qiyi pointed to her back, Ma Lin is optimistic, if it weren't for this power system, this girl would be afraid that it would be cold.

Since this thing is useless, Marin simply reached out and tore it open directly, and then threw it into subspace: "Let's take this thing back to repair, and now I will recommend a new flying machine to you." After saying that, Marin whistled at Lorraine, and the little guy came to Meng Quyi, and its legs became like car handlebars, and Meng Quyi slapped herself with a feather drop technique, and then she grabbed the handle, and then she was taken into the sky by Lorraine.

"Caught it, I don't want to go back and say sorry to Lulu that your friend from Tynan didn't catch it in the air and fell to his death." Although this girl has a feather fall technique, Marin still launched the spit skill.

"Ha, I won't die if you die." Meng made a powerful rebuttal.

Marin smiled and looked south, confirming the flames coming from Walding.

"The attack is complete, and the cauldron is finished, Your Excellency."

"Has anyone been injured or fallen?" Marin asked.

"No, Your Excellency, it's all thanks to you." The words of the tower owners were full of reverence.

And Marin shook his head: "I still haven't been able to bring all of you home. ”

"No, he's gone home with us, Your Excellency." The young man from the ambulance team replied.

“…… The assault team dropped all the extra bombs into the town, which was completely contaminated, and burned it completely, so let's go back. After Marin gave the order, the mages of the attack group smashed all the bombs they still had into the town.

Then they began to climb under the cover of the battle group.

……………………

After about three hours of flying in the wind and snow, Marlin finally returned to the sky above the defence line with the exhausted mages with the help of Jason, and after descending, Marlin ordered the ground to light a bootfire.

The mages began to descend in order, and the logistician Marlin brought from Fort Carter handed each mage a cup of hot cocoa at the entrance and exit - about this thing, Marin has not found a living cocoa tree in the world, and uses artificial cocoa butter, although it is an artifact, but with sugar and milk, it is a great drink for everyone who has been running in the ice and snow for a day.

When the last tower master landed, Marin realized that the young mage who had complained to him when he set off was gone.

So Marin asked in the channel.

"He died in battle, Your Excellency." The tower master Corriss replied.

Marin was silent for a moment, and finally took out a checkbook, on which he wrote two numbers that were also very decent for a mage, and he handed the check to the tower lord Corris: "Your Excellency Corris, the pension for the war dead will be handed over to you to distribute, as for this ...... Please distribute it to all the mages who participated in the battle, this is my heart, please do not refuse. ”

Considering that the tower owner might refuse, Marin preemptively sealed the possibility until he accepted two checks.

Marin then began to accept work from the halfling maintenance staff to dismantle the power system.

Of course, he did not forget to hand over the power systems of the war dead to the maintenance crews.

Removing this chest armor-type power system, Marin also asked many mages, and their impressions of this thing were that this thing did change the air combat mode of mages, allowing them to bring a powerful enough weapon set to fight in the sky, but in the words of the mages, it was really very exciting.

On the bad side, most of them focus on this power system that can't fully fit their bodies, and even if there is a weight loss circle, it is a bit heavy, and many mages even use weight loss techniques on this thing, and they spend a lot of energy to maintain them.

Marin jotted down all these questions and sent them to the Academy of Sciences, and at the same time initiated the collection of data on the mages' chests, and heard that there would be better powertrains and combat suits for individuals next time, which the mages praised and accepted the data collection from the tailors' wives.

"You're going to spend a lot of money like this." The tower lord Coris came to Marin, he looked at Marin and asked.

Marin nodded: "Yes, it will indeed cost a lot of money, but I think that as long as you can save everyone's lives, it will be worth it." ”

"I have truly felt your mercy, Your Excellency." At this point, the Lord seemed to have discovered something, and he patted Marin on the shoulder, directing Marin's attention to the exit of the maintenance area.

Marlin turned her head and saw Lulu, who was standing here and smiling as she looked at Marin...... Although her eyes look red.

But at least at this moment, she was laughing.

Saying goodbye to Lord Corris, Marlin walked over to Lulu and smiled and opened his arms.

Then the war witch girl ran past Marin: "I'm back!" ”

She shouted, and then hugged Lulu tightly.

Marin's outstretched arms were raised for a moment, and finally he reluctantly put them down.

He looked at a few southern Thaimen on the side, and one of them looked at the old man who looked a little similar to Meng Qiyi and smiled at him.

What a laugh, beware of me selling your daughter to the Frost Giant!
