This is the fifth transport group, consisting of two squadrons of 32 monkfish, three squadrons of fighters and 60 salmon, as well as an AWACS aircraft and a communications relay aircraft, which were attacked in the airspace above the mountains west of Koster.

When the first group of transport planes returned, they found the Kist air sentinels, and from the second group onwards, everyone was ready for an attack. Now the enemy has finally appeared, and the stone that has been hanging in the heart is like a second shoe upstairs, finally falling to the ground.

"I'm 200, I'll arrive in three minutes, three squadrons are raiding the floating ship at high speed, and it's forbidden to slow down and entangle. ”

"The crew of the monkfish is transferred quickly, and then it is destroyed by the captain's plane, and it must not be left to the enemy. ”

Linde's avatar on the intelligence desk jumped out with a voice, and the staff officers breathed a sigh of relief, and in another three minutes, the transport fleet was completely safe.

Lind led the 2nd Squadron 200 kilometers behind the transport group, specifically to deal with the expected enemy. The salmon modification equipped by this squadron is not an ordinary change, but a deep magic change, and the purified Wyvern nuclear crystal acts as the flight control system, which is far more flexible than the mechanically controlled salmon change.

Each fighter of the Second Squadron is a battle puppet, and every pilot is a battle magician. The full combination of man and machine, the combat efficiency exerted is extraordinary, and it is the elite specially created by Li Qi.

Now, the blade in the air is waiting to see blood.

Although the AWACS aircraft detected the enemy attack in advance at a distance of more than 100 kilometers, the other party came from the front, and the monkfish did not have time to transform, and the speed was just over 300 kilometers, and it could not get rid of the flying dragon equipped with propellers, and suffered some damage, and the propellers of the two monkfish were damaged.

Fortunately, the floating furnace was not broken, and the group commander decided to take the crew to other transport planes. Now the crew of the second transport aircraft has not been transferred, and the enemy's floating ships have reappeared, and the aircraft group has to leave forces to cover.

Li Qi looked at the constantly jumping avatar on this intelligence station, and then looked at the intelligence station next to him, and said in his heart that he had to get the command function of the early warning aircraft out as soon as possible.

Relying on the relay of three communication transfer planes and the teleportation fortress of the Divine Fall Plateau, the Cactus base can receive voice messages from the transport fleet, but cannot grasp the more detailed battle situation. On another intelligence table, the land and sky of the cactus base and the surrounding tens of thousands of square kilometers are clear at a glance, and every fighter plane in the base that is taking off can see the trajectory of movement.

This is naturally the battle situation system built by the base that plays a role, and at present, in addition to the prototype of the Tiger Jar Fortress, this battle situation system is only available on the northern front line and the air base. Because of the need for a large number of personnel and equipment support, the existing early warning aircraft cannot accommodate and cannot be directly commanded in other battlefields.

"The enemy has appeared!"

There was also movement on this intelligence station, and the enemy troops had already entered a 100-kilometer range, and the staff officers rushed over to surround this intelligence station.

Everyone quickly discovered the anomaly: "Why is the floating ship so fast!?"

"Look here! The front of the floating ship! The dragons are lined up so neatly!"

"Good boy, use the flying dragon to pull the floating ship to run, that halfling's brain is quite useful. ”

"Contempt can only be used strategically, tactically. This Mirhaus was able to transform a batch of propeller wyverns in just ten days, which is enough to prove that he is open-minded and has abundant resources. ”

"To be honest, I admire this guy, just seeing us with a propeller, he can figure it out, but I'm curious how he came up with the reduction gear set problem. ”

"There are no stupid legends ......"

"Don't be emotional, hurry up and get to work! Analyze the enemy situation and mark the friendly fire zone, there are many things. ”

The staff officers were busy, and Li Qi watched silently beside him without saying a word.

With the combat intelligence system, there is a staff team that assists the front troops in the operation with the help of this system, and this model has proven to be effective during the war of the dead, and Li Qi naturally does not have to interfere.

Now he didn't need to go to heaven, because he was busy with other things, and his flight hours were in the bottom of the official pilots of the entire air team, and even Catherine left him far behind, and he hadn't flown the salmon yet. As the acting captain, Catherine happily stripped him of the right to fight in the sky.

Catherine has been training at the base during this time, soaking in the sky day and night, and she is ready to take over the brigade and even the entire air force. Unless he encounters a strong enemy that cannot be matched by the collective strength, he can only sit in the command headquarters and be a mascot that stabilizes the morale of the army.

If nothing goes wrong in this battle, Li Qi feels that it is time for him to step down from his position as captain and promote himself to commander of the First Air Force.

Of course, only if the toy actually works......

Thinking of this, Li Qi instructed the staff officer, and the staff officer gave the order: "Reconnaissance No. 1, keep an eye on that floating ship, and maintain a safe perspective." ”

A few minutes later, a light curtain unfolded on the intelligence station, which was an image sent by a reconnaissance plane converted from a fighter jet. The so-called modification is actually to replace the front cabin and rear seat Heavy with a Wizard or Ranger, using the Wizard's Eye and Eagle Eye to monitor the target beyond line of sight.

High-level spellcasters have the ability to observe beyond visual range, and Fei Gong does not have a unique technical advantage in this regard. However, being able to stuff high-level spellcasters into small flying machines and keep track of them for a long time is a system problem that has nothing to do with technology.

The angle of view in the light curtain is kept four or five hundred meters away, and the whole view of the floating ship can be seen.

This is an old floating ship, with a stubby ship and a straight deck, and its appearance is not much different from that of a sea ship, and it can be clearly seen that the shell is still made of ironwood.

The floating ship is fifty or sixty meters long, and it is estimated that it is only six or seven hundred tons. There are several gun doors on both sides of the hull, which reminds Li Qi of the armed merchant ships of the medieval era of the Earth world, the only difference is that there are no sails.

The protective barrier with a radius of about two or three hundred meters enveloped the floating ship like a soap bubble, and the occasional ripple reflected a crystal halo in the sunlight, which made Li Qi breathe a sigh of relief.

The protective barrier of this floating ship is the same as that of its own floating ship Familia, and there are no special features. It can resist all kinds of extraordinary powers, and it may also have an optical stealth function, but it definitely can't stop the physical object of general speed.

The protective barrier can block physical objects at a certain speed, and can even completely block physical objects, but the powerful energy required is obviously not something that this kind of small floating ship can have, and it is impossible to have such a large protection range.

The hull of the floating ship is written "Barnum" in intricate floral characters, and the bow is a bow statue in the shape of an iron dragon, and several cables stretch out, dragged by more than 20 white steel flying dragons with propellers on their buttocks, and they actually flew at a speed of nearly 300 kilometers.

At this time, I was finally able to see the kind of "electric fan flying dragon", which turned out to be a ring fixing frame on the lower body of the flying dragon, and a pair of brackets similar to inclined tails were raised from the position of the dragon's buttocks, and a propeller was put on each of the brackets.

The fixed frame also extends to the back of the dragon's neck, and two small figures can be vaguely seen sitting, blowing the wind directly. There are some devices scattered on the left and right sides of the shelf, which should be the magic crystal energy supply array, which is the only place that has an advantage over the Fei Gong fighter jet, and the direct use of magic crystal will reduce the weight of the magic furnace.

A legend is a legend......

As long as you open the rope, it is really terrifying to climb up the technology tree, and it really makes the flying dragon speed up to 300 kilometers.

However, in this way, the flexibility of the Wyvern has also been cut in half. Not to mention the big lump on the back, you can't shake the tail indiscriminately, otherwise you will hit the propeller. The back is also fixed by the shelf, and it is impossible to do all kinds of difficult air maneuvers.

What's even more obvious is that it seems that many Wyverns are dissatisfied with this modification and are too irritable to control. Li Qi saw with his own eyes that a white steel wyvern twisted violently, trying to throw out the shelf and crew on its back, and it should be the halfling crew member waving a whip and constantly pumping the dragon's head.

If Romeros insists on controlling the sky with the power of the dragons, he will eventually take this technological route......

Li Qi was a little distracted, on the intelligence table of the transport group, the jump of avatars and voices suddenly became intense, the Linde squadron arrived, and the escort fighters also made contact with the floating ship, and the battle suddenly became white-hot.

"305, don't hedge through the enchantment!

"Strafe the cabin!317! Break the control device, don't waste fire on the gun door!"

"Don't get too close! I almost got caught in a spider web!"

"Let's work hard to stop the floating ship from approaching the broken monkfish!"

"Hah! Their planks are so thin, my shells actually penetrated the hull from the deck!"

"The machine guns and cannons are not at all, I can't help but want to throw fireballs! Where's my staff? Damn! I can only hold the joystick now!"

The base had not yet made contact with the enemy, and the staff officers were stunned and listened with concern to the conversation coming from more than a thousand kilometers away.

The battle was fierce......

Li Qi's heart was also tumbling in the heat, holding his arms, trying to make himself look expressionless.

"320! You almost knocked me in two!"

"I'm sorry, there seems to be a bit of a problem with my tail rudder, but it doesn't affect the operation, I pay attention to correcting it. ”

"Be careful, the enemy magician has struck...... Tempest!Ice Storm!Pull up!Keep your distance!"

"Watch out for that mage's hand, 318——!!

"It's over, just in time to be swept away by the ice storm again!

"Three, I saw three jumps...... Carter is still in control of the fighter plane......"

"Carter! Jump, ——!"

"May be frozen......"

The victim still appeared, and it sounded like Unit 318 had been slapped into the ice storm by the hand of a gigantic mage, and the pilot did not jump out.

The atmosphere in the center of the war suddenly became solemn, and he was taken aback by the propeller wyvern and lost two transport planes, but the fighters still beat each other. Now that the floating ship is pressed down, the fighter is extremely vulnerable.

"318 crashed, the three crew members jumped safely, the others didn't care, and the second squadron was responsible for answering. ”

"Just point the dwarf bomb and this big guy will be finished——!!"

"That thing can't even blow up a stone wall, are you going to put fireworks on the enemy?"

"Alchemy bombs are fine, well, when I didn't say it, the alchemy bomb that can blow up the floating ship should be more expensive than the floating ship. ”

"What about the thing that the Mobile Fortress Project sent to our base two days ago, it must be strong enough!"

"Don't think about it, our salmon doesn't have an interface and can't use that. ”

"Hang that thing and you'll become a pregnant salmon, waiting for the enemy to catch you and eat the roe?"

The assault on the floating ships continued, the fighters became much more cautious, and the atmosphere became depressing.

"I'm 500, the monkfish crew is transferred, I'm ready to fire. This is my twenty-first victory, and I must draw it under my canopy in memory of this poor monkfish. ”

"I'm 200, all out of the battlefield!"

Everyone, including Richie, breathed a sigh of relief.

"Watch out for ——! claws!"

A shrill shout made people's hearts rush to their throats.

"Big claws!320! Bastard, it grabbed 320!"

"320, jump the plane!

"One, two, three...... Haydn! What are you doing, Haydn? Jump!"

"The claws are dragging 320 back, and the enemy wants to capture 320!"

"Haydn——! I'm Linde! I order you to abandon the plane now!"

The avatar rushes like a tide, and the shouts roll like angry waves.

The pilot of the 320, the voice named Haydn was choppy, maybe he was injured, or maybe there was a problem with the communication system: "It's my fault, I have to make amends, I still have ...... Opportunity. ”

Richie leaned over and grabbed the frame of the workbench, his breathing becoming rapid.

Linde was the battlefield commander and shouted: "Obey the order——!"

"320 has been dragged into the barrier, and the propeller is still spinning. ”

"Oh my God, the floating ships are all being towed to a tilt!"

"Haydn still has a chance, let's go back and save him!"

Others are fighting for the opportunity and want to try something else.

In the command tower, the staff officers subconsciously set their eyes on Li Qi.

Richie's gaze was also wandering, as if looking for a talkie.

A staff officer handed over the intercom, and Li Qi was about to answer it, when Linde's avatar jumped up on the intelligence desk again: "The order I received is to preserve strength, safety first, not to fight the enemy here!"

"Evacuate as soon as possible!" Haydn, you jump for Lao Tzu immediately——!"

Haydn's voice became more indistinct: "My body...... Covered by paws...... I wore it and connected it...... Sorry I messed up. ”

"Can I still ...... I can, I definitely won't let my ...... Give the enemy ......"

Li Qi grabbed the intercom and wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth but was speechless.

"320 is glowing blue, Haydn is overloading the mana furnace!"

"His magic scatterer is broken, it will explode!"

"Haydn, you're going to have your soul blown up like this! You won't see Her Highness Alisanne!"

Haydn's voice was still choppy, but his tone became heroic: "Then I'll go...... Goddess, I didn't ...... last time The kingdom of God, this time it can be ...... It's ......."

At this time, Li Qi did not want to correct his view of human gods at all, and the grassroots level of the Fei Communist Party did not have access to this level. He took a deep breath and said, "I am 000, Haydn, and your soul is the kingdom of God, the goddess and me, and everyone, with you!"

"The ...... Cardinal"

Haydn heard it, and he choked up, "I don't want to ...... Who made me ...... Messed up ......"

He sniffled and shouted, "Crimson Radiance...... Shine ......"

Before he could finish shouting, the avatar and voice were gone.

There was silence on the intelligence desk for a long time before Linde's avatar appeared: "Blown up...... He blew a big hole in the deck of the floating ship and killed dozens of enemies, but unfortunately did not sink the floating ship. ”

The avatars of the others followed, some screaming, some angry, and some amazed.

"Behold, a ray of light! a light like a sunset!"

"That's Haydn! Haydn's soul is in that light!"

"He has ascended to the kingdom of God!"

"Don't talk nonsense! That's the sunset! Wipe your cockpit canopy!"

"Ah, was it just my own reflection?"

Li Qi put down the intercom and looked at the other intelligence station, where the enemy's floating ships and wyverns were about to make contact with the attacking group.

"First Squadron, Attack!"

His tone was as heavy as a thick layer of ice, and there seemed to be red-hot lava surging under the ice.

"Use our weapons, not flesh and blood, to blow up the enemy's floating ships!"
