656 Speed is our advantage! The flying boat and the plane will face off again
To the west of the mountains of Kist, a cone-shaped aircraft as sharp as a knife broke through the clouds and roared through the sea of clouds.
Another, another, seventy or so magic ships broke through the clouds, unfurled left and right behind it, forming a geese-shaped formation, and flying to the west at a height never seen in the world of Fein.
"This is the Duke, one last reiteration of tactical ......"
In the lead flying boat, Diotto scratched his itchy face, which was still in his new skin, and lectured the formation.
"Remember, the sluggish and bulky transport plane is our most important goal!"
"Follow the transport plane, those guards will come by themselves, and then we will kill them!"
"Our spells don't have a long range of their magic weapons, it is forbidden to fire two or three thousand meters away, you must get close to within a thousand meters!"
"Don't be afraid, within a thousand meters is our world! The agility of the flying boat is not comparable to their buzzing iron bumps!"
Dioto's tone became impassioned, he wasn't a qualified team leader yet, but because it was so prominent, even he knew to use this as a finale to encourage his subordinates.
"The most important thing is that we're fast enough! close to 800 kilometers per hour, making us twice as fast as the fastest dragons!"
"In front of them, we are lightning! Don't be afraid of their attacks, they can't catch us at all!"
"Remember, take full advantage of our speed, rush to within a thousand or even a hundred meters, blast the spell into their cockpit, and then look for the next target!"
"This is the tactics of the eagle! We are the eagle that rules the sky!"
The cockpit echoed with the enthusiastic responses of the various squad leaders, and Diotto's experience was listened to by the shipbuilders, who installed magic teleportation devices on all the ships.
Not only has this experience been heard, but the cockpit and flying magic circle have also been equipped with armor, the material of the flying boat is stronger than before, the magic crystal can also be automatically replenished, and the cockpit has also been raised a little to increase the field of vision. These improvements slowed the new ship a bit, but it still stayed at 800 km/h, enough to crush the buzz of the opposing team.
Looking back at the spectacular cluster, Dioto's heart boiled.
Now he didn't have any disdain for the halfling warlock, but was grateful. not only healed his injuries, but also allowed him to continue to lead the team. Lead more than three times as many flying boats as before, and carry out tasks that have not been completed before.
More power, better flying boats, and a cautious mindset that has learned the lessons of the previous two battles add up to a definite victory.
Dioto is now thinking more about how to reduce losses, the enemy will definitely not be willing to lose, there will still be battles in the future, if the flying boat loses too much in this battle, the subsequent battles will not be too calm.
"Judging from the battle ten days ago, there were only eighty planes used by Prell to escort the guards, twenty to protect the fortress, and twenty to protect the lair, for a total of about a hundred. β
"I'm afraid there will be more escorts this time, even if he can add some planes in ten days, he can't triple it all at once like we do. The resources that the Ted family can mobilize are not comparable to those of Prell. β
"So, we have a maximum of a hundred escorts, and only sixty to eighty of them remain in the rear. If you ensure that the loss does not exceed ten flying boats, the next thing to deal with is only a few remnants and novices, and the sky of the Divine Fall Plateau is completely open. β
Under Dioto's calculations, the situation between friend and foe has become extremely clear, but there is still a trace of gloom in his heart.
This time the enemy will still have a legend, and if you encounter the legend who overcomes the difference in speed and maneuver with her physical body, it will be troublesome.
"You can only find that legend as soon as possible, remind everyone to stay away, and rely on the speed advantage to make her unable to exert her combat effectiveness. β
Thinking of the opponent's usual tactic of directly protecting the transport plane with a large number of escorts following behind, Dioto was relieved again.
Before the elite guards arrived, it was enough to take out all the ordinary guards. Before, twenty against sixty could beat the opponent and almost collapse, but now he has seventy flying boats, which is almost one-to-one compared to the number of opponents, and it will take less than ten minutes to clean them all up.
Thinking of this, Dioto couldn't help but feel a little sympathetic to his opponent, and he probably thought that he had won the last battle, so he didn't change his strategy at all, and continued to transport supplies according to the previous route and formation. Unbeknownst to them, this time their whereabouts had been exposed under the noses of the Shadow Wyvern laid out by Lord Mirjoth.
Another haze surfaced again, the previous steel dragon seemed to have encountered a strong enemy in the opponent's lair, the steel dragon said that it had encountered a plane faster than a flying boat, and at the same time there was a very powerful legend.
Legends aside, planes that are faster than flying boats ......
Dioto almost laughed, how could there be such a thing? The steel dragon and his slave girl were injured worse than him, and they must have been talking nonsense or justifying their own failures.
"Target found!"
The communication of his subordinates alerted him, without using spells or relying on extraordinary vision, he could see that in the sea of clouds more than ten kilometers away, a dense small black dot was flying slowly from south to north, looking a little like a clumsy flock of wild geese or even wild ducks from a distance.
The opponent also discovered them, and the formation suddenly became chaotic, and they disappeared into the sea of clouds in a panic. But in the magical vision, the clouds did not cover it at all, and the planes could be clearly seen flying in a chaotic way to the west.
"Charge, guys!"
Dioto yelled, "Knock them down like turkeys!"
"The enemy has taken the baitββ!"
Dozens of kilometers to the south, Linde's voice sounded in everyone's headphones: "Speed up!"
Linde, who is already a veteran of air combat, said in a calm tone: "Remember our tactics and try to bring the enemy into the preset battlefield. Although we are strong, there are battlefields that are more conducive to our strengths, and we have to make the most of them. β
"More importantly, the goal of this battle is not to repel the enemy, but to wipe out the enemy! We are the shovel, we must shovel all the branches and vines that emerge from the enemy, so that the next hammer can smash the enemy's lair more smoothly!"
"I won't repeat the specific tactical points, in short......"
His tone changed to high-spirited: "In front of the enemy, we are like lightning! We must give full play to our speed advantage, and before they can react, we will smash them from afar! Just like an osprey, swoop down high and break away with one blow!"
Another cold voice cut in, and it was Catherine: "Ready, turkey!"
..................
The fleet of sixty monkfish and forty salmon descended to an altitude of three or four thousand meters below the clouds, heading at full speed in a north-westerly direction.
Monkfish that have undergone many modifications are now traveling at more than 400 kilometers per hour, while salmon are close to 600 kilometers per hour, but in order to protect monkfish, they can only reduce their speed to 400 kilometers per hour.
More than ten kilometers away, almost in the blink of an eye, seventy flying boats were like seventy wolves, and when they were about to pounce on the sixty sheep protected by forty sheepdogs, an exclamation echoed in Diotto's cockpit.
"Be careful!
"Be careful not to rush over, you may not be able to fly back if you fly over!"
"These guys are really bold, they actually fly on the edge of the scorched stone wilderness, aren't they afraid of crossing the line and falling headlong?"
"What are we going to do? If you rush too close, you won't be able to grasp the distance!"
Damn! The opponent is really cunning! He actually thought of using such a geographical advantage to protect himself.
Dioto thought to his chagrin that the Scorched Stone Wilderness was a poor demon area, where the magic field was severely suppressed, and magic was greatly weakened not only on the earth but also in the sky. Whether it's a levitation spell or a flying magic circle, once you enter the scorched stone wilderness, your effectiveness will be greatly reduced.
The opponent's convoy flew against the border, which made Dioto's flying boat troops very suspicious. Rush up, one accidentally crosses the line, don't rush up, do you just watch the prey slip away like this?
As for the Scorched Stone Wilderness, Milhaus was not without consideration, after all, such a large area of the Poor Demon District was just west of Koster, and it was impossible to ignore the air operation.
"Don't panic!"
He sent a message in a deep voice: "Everyone also knows that our flying boat is made by the Ted family, and the quality is not to be said, how can it be so useless?"
Thinking carefully about Millhaus's introduction to the Poor Demon Zone, as well as the information obtained from various other sources, Dioto gritted his teeth and said: "Don't be afraid! Rush over and fight! If you strayed into the Poor Demon Zone, you should quickly withdraw, as long as you don't go too deep, that is, your speed and maneuverability will be affected by the points!"
That being said, no one dared to rush over, after all, when it fell, it was impossible to rely on Diotto's mouth to pull it up.
After hesitating for a while, Dioto gave up the idea of forcing his men to charge, this force was all improvised patchwork, several people were of the same level of strength as him, and orders alone could not suppress them.
At this time, only I was on the ......
Dioto manipulates the Wyvern Nucleus and gives orders to the Flying Hub modified by the Floating Nucleus. Sharp flying boats whizzed down and rushed towards the gray-lived, inconspicuous group of planes in the sky.
There was no flying boat to follow, and everyone was waiting for him, the captain, to test the situation in the poor demon area.
The orange ballistic trajectory was as hot as rain, and it seemed to engulf the flying boat in an instant. At high speed, the flying boat still pulled out an admirable irregular curve, even a shocking folded line, and swept past the group of escorts, sending a faint green ray on the cockpit of the flattened and stubby transport plane.
Part of the cockpit turned into a jumble of debris, sprinkled into the air with a human body, and the transport plane pulled upwards and then rolled on its side, and although the remaining pilots were still trying to maneuver, it still fell rapidly towards the ground.
Exclamations rang out in Diotto's cockpit, and he ignored them, trying to maneuver the ship around.
The huge inertia still caused the flying boat to rush out of a large distance, and in the moment he turned, the power of the circle suddenly decreased, and the flying boat also fell downward like a lead block.
Fortunately, he had been prepared for a long time and increased the output of magic power, so that green tendons burst out on his forehead.
The magic power of the flying boat circle output has been greatly weakened, and it is already difficult to carry the movement of the flying boat, at this time, it can only be maintained by the output of human flesh, but the output of human flesh is also weakened, and Dioto is purely supported by the level of the fifth level.
Fortunately, he didn't enter the poor demon area deeply, and the flying boat quickly got out of this dangerous place and returned to the normal airspace. It just fell less than a kilometer in height and lost a third of its speed.
Diotto's demonstration reassured his subordinates, and Dioto was all on it, and they had to follow up as mercenaries, and besides, the current situation was indeed as Diorto said, and their own side had a great advantage.
Seventy flying boats stretched several kilometers wide and rushed down towards the group of transport planes.
The group of planes spewed out dense firepower, but not only was the number not superior, but the speed of the flying boats was too fast, the maneuvering was too flexible, and it was difficult to accurately cover the trajectory by relying only on human eye capture and manual operation.
The threat of an attack from two or three thousand meters away gave the pilots confidence of the boats, and they increased their speed and increased the speed of the boats to the limit.
This is 800 kilometers of speed! It is a speed that Finn has never seen before! The wind is not so fast, what do you use to resist!?
Dioto shouted in his heart, urging the flying boat, following his men, and launching a second attack.
Transport planes and escort planes were already flying along the border in a daze, like frightened sheepdogs and sheep, and just as the flying boat launched a full-scale attack, they moved.
The entire group deflected direction, and together they crossed the boundary of the Poor Demon Zone, which was clearly visible from the magical vision, and entered the airspace of the Scorched Stone Wilderness.
The subordinates shouted out Dioto's heart: "Did they kill themselves because they couldn't beat them?"
The next sight was jaw-dropping......
The planes tossed a few times in the poor demon area, diving low, but the flight attitude was obviously balanced, and it didn't look like they were falling down at all.
These planes can still fly in the Poor Demon Zone!? And the speed has not slowed down at all!
"Be carefulββ!
The sight was so terrifying that many drivers observed it with their magical vision, forgetting that they were also heading towards the Poor Demon District.
Many of the ships, including Dioto, were scrambling to slow down and turn, and a few of them overheaded and spun like fallen leaves in the slum area.
"Is this what they rely on?
Dioto was annoyed, and a louder and more high-pitched and high-pitched cry sounded than the one just now: "Enemy attack ββ!"
A wave of craggy light and shadow shot down from the sky behind, and the silver fighter planes reflecting the sunlight roared and swooped over. A rain of orange bullets poured down on the group of flying boats that were hovering near the line, blowing up a continuous stream of fireworks.
The warplanes, much smaller than the salmon, grazed the boat, and even when they rushed into the deprived area, their speed and flight trajectory were still not significantly affected, and they pulled up one by one, rushed into the clouds, and swooped down again like eagles.
Dioto suspects that something is wrong with his eyes......
Let's not talk about the situation that the other party is almost free to enter and exit the poor demon area, let's talk about the speed of the other party.
What's that speed?
Dioto was the most sober one, but he was still rubbing his eyes, and the others were even more confused.
"What's going on!?"
Even so, the shouts of his subordinates still echoed Dioto's heart.
