Chapter 15: The Target

Explosion, an explosion without warning appeared on Marshal Asir's side.

Marshal Asir was also a transcendent being, but the explosion came so suddenly that he was knocked to the ground by the impact of the explosion before he could make any defenses.

"Ahem..."

Marshal Asir got up from the ground, picked up the pipe that had fallen on the ground, and looked up at the position that had become a mess in the blink of an eye.

The tent at the core command office of this war, which served as a conference room for operations, had been reduced to ashes in the explosion.

This is the case in previous wars... It is possible only if the war is on the verge of defeat and the enemy's front is pushed in front of our formation.

But the explosion seemed to tell Marshal Asir that the times... It's changed!

"Shelling!? The enemy has already rushed to our positions? ”

"Where is the enemy?!"

The explosion caused the entire position to be thrown into chaos in an instant... The soldiers who survived the aftermath of the explosion picked up their repeating rifles and fired indiscriminately at the surrounding woods.

"Ceasefire! Cease fire! There is no breath of enemies around! ”

Marshal Asir shouted at his soldiers not to waste ammunition.

Although there are transcendents in this world, there are still ordinary soldiers in the army, after all, the number of transcendents is still in the minority.

The musket weapons they are equipped with are toys in the eyes of the transcendents, but they still have no problem taking out other ordinary people.

Under the reprimand of Marshal Asir, the soldiers who were shooting indiscriminately around him calmed down.

"Count the damage to personnel and equipment!"

Marshal Asir shouted to his adjutant.

"Yes! But the general... Where exactly did the enemy attack come from? ”

The lieutenant was also a transcendent, and he had only suffered some minor injuries in the explosion, but the ordinary soldiers were not so lucky.

In the very center of the explosion left a huge crater, around which the bodies of several soldiers lay down.

If this inexplicable explosion were to happen again, without knowing where the enemy was attacking, it would greatly shake the morale of the army.

"Heaven, the enemy's attack is from heaven!"

Count Cecia waved his hand to disperse all the smoke from the explosion, and then said to Marshal Asir.

"Heavenly? The enemy also sent dragons? Or pterosaurs? ”

Marshal Asir looked up at the sky, and could only see a tiny black dot hovering in the air.

This black spot is very difficult to see with the naked eye, but Count Cecia's vision is far superior to that of a human... Perception is the same, so she can see something hovering in the air as soon as she looks up.

Marshal Asir could only look at the sky with the help of a telescope, and found that it was not some pterosaur hovering in the air, but ...

"Flying machines?" Marshal Asir recognized what was circling in the air.

The creation of the airplane has long been invented in this world, and it has also been initially put into war.

But the planes of the First World War were still only driven by propellers, but at this time, the black shadow hovering in the sky could not see the propellers, and... It is much smaller than a manned aircraft.

"I didn't feel the breath of life on that flying machine, so I didn't sense it first-hand."

Count Cecia's crimson pupils stared closely at the drone in the sky, and scales representing dragons gradually appeared on her arms.

"No one? How is that possible..."

As Marshal Asir muttered to himself, he sensed that Count Cecia seemed to be about to release his true form.

"I can make it fall with my breath."

Count Cecia had already spat out a little fire from her mouth, and it burned the veil that had obscured her face.

"Wait... Don't dragonize yet! Lord Earl! ”

Marshal Asir quickly sensed something and immediately stopped the process of Count Cecia's dragonization.

This caused the scales that had covered Count Cecia's cheeks to fade away.

"Why? Are we just going to stand here and let that flying machine bomb us? Or can the anti-aircraft guns in the position hit the aircraft? "Count Cecia now feels like he's suffocating.

The enemy had already thrown air strikes at the base camp on their faces, and she couldn't fight back yet.

"The anti-aircraft guns in the position can't hit that kind of target."

Marshal Asir brought the two surviving horses and handed the reins of one of them to Count Cecia.

"Then why..."

"Because the enemy is looking for you!" Marshal Asir shook the reins from his hand and urged Count Cecia to hurry up.

"Find... I? ”

"Since the aircraft is unmanned, it means that someone is behind it! It's hard for me to believe that the bombardment of the flying machine can hit our position so accurately... In other words, our actions are now being watched by the enemy! ”

Marshal Asir had a creepy feeling when he said this.

Anyone with some military literacy understands ... How terrible it is that our formations and tactics are exposed to the enemy's surveillance.

"The bombing was just a test, they're searching for your location!"

Marshal Asir got on his horse, and Count Cecia took the reins and sat on another.

"Is it necessary to be so afraid of being discovered by them?" Count Cecia sat on the half-breed warhorse.

This world has been lit up with World War I technology such as vehicles and aircraft.

But with the blessing of extraordinary power, the war horse, a means of transportation that human beings have been using since ancient times, is still very strong.

"Since the explosion that destroyed our camp and killed several soldiers just now was just a test, it means that they have something even more terrifying!"

Marshal Asir sat on his horse and didn't bother to say anything more to the dragon, he shouted to the soldiers in the position.

"Alright, boys! Grab your weapons and march as planned! We're going to send this Earl to the front! Run! ”

After Marshal Asir's order was given, the march that had been scheduled to begin in three hours had to be brought forward.

On the way to the army, the bombardment from drones still falls accurately on the heads of the moving troops from time to time.

This caused a certain amount of confusion on the march and was also a great blow to morale.

But Marshal Asir didn't care so much, and the task of him and his entire army was to get Cecia to the appointed place.

What the Great Xia National Teacher Yi Zheng didn't know was... The deployment of the dragons is actually a very troublesome matter, they can indeed let Cecia fly directly to the territory of Huaguo to destroy, but this cannot fully exert her combat power... It's like a bomber without a supply base.

Dragons must be assisted by the local spirits and their subordinate knights in order to maximize their combat effectiveness.

In the course of the difficult march, Marshal Asir also met the troops of the Ainlan Empire...

"The enemy attack has begun, why haven't your dragons been deployed yet!" The commander of the unit recognized Marshal Asir and questioned him in a loud voice.

Now the entire coalition is waiting for Cecia's dragon roar to resound across the battlefield, and then use their breath to knock down those damn flying machines from the sky!

"Why don't you have your dragons deployed?"

Marshal Asir had already sensed that there was another dragon on the battlefield, and from the breath, he was probably the Black Dragon Grand Duke of the Ainlan Empire.

Marshal Asir did not stop during the conversation with the other side.

Although the landform is dominated by forests, these war horses mixed with dragon blood walk on the ground in the complex forest terrain.

The bombardment from drones in the sky continued, but it didn't take long ... The war horse under Marshal Asir's crotch became restless.

A dragon's roar, which almost tore the entire sky apart, appeared on the battlefield on the left side.

"It's Ymir, that guy—" Cecia recognized her own kind in an instant.

The Ainlan Empire really deployed the dragon into the battlefield, and at this moment, Marshal Asir's troops also marched to a high ground, where the behemoth that appeared more than ten kilometers away on the left side of the battlefield could be clearly seen.

It was a dragon covered in pitch-black scales, and the horns on its forehead were as striking as a crown...

The moment this black dragon appeared on the battlefield, its mouth began to accumulate extremely destructive breath, and it took less than two seconds for the breath to be released from the time it was charged...

The purified breath formed by the fusion of the scorching flames stored in the black dragon's body and the power of the dragon veins was like a lightsaber long enough to slash the earth, directly slashing across the sky and tearing the clouds apart.

The drones that had hovered in the sky like the Grim Reaper were vaporized into pure gas before this breath.

This is the moment when a catastrophic creature appears on the battlefield.

The soldiers of the entire Ainlan Empire who were demoralized by the drone bombing were greatly encouraged the moment they saw the black dragon's posture.

This is the dragon... Creatures so powerful that one wonders what other use the average soldier on the battlefield has.

After destroying all the drones hovering in the sky with its breath, the black dragon's dim vertical pupils looked in the direction of the Great Xia border.

Now the front-line coalition forces are less than thirty kilometers away from the border of Great Xia, but this black dragon still can't feel anything that can threaten him.

Where is the enemy? Where are the enemy's deployed troops?!

This is also the reason why the coalition forces have been reluctant to summon the dragon for a long time, that is, they have not found a target that can be hit with the dragon at all.

But this also means that the enemy has no defenses at the border!

Since you don't set up defenses, just hit them.
