Thunder roared in the sky, and the clouds broke two cracks, one behind the other, and slashed eastward at a speed far beyond the reach of the birds.

When the mountain people and adventurers of the western mountains of Kist saw this scene, they either fell to the ground in fright, thinking that the sky had changed, or they knelt on the ground and kowtowed like pounding garlic, shouting to the gods for joy and anger.

On the flying boat in front of him, Dioto squeezed out all the strength of his bladder, but the crimson trajectory that swept through the flying boat proved that he was in the effective range of his pursuers, which made his soul rise and his skull cold.

With such a heat dissipation, his brain finally worked better.

Soar into the sky!

That's right, your own flying boat can fly to the height of an ordinary floating ship, and even if this buzzing iron bump is fast, it is impossible for it to fly to 20,000 meters.

At this time, Dioto left behind what he had just fooled his subordinates, and of course it couldn't be a flying boat to turn with his wings, and the flying magic circle didn't need wings.

The cone-shaped boat broke through the clouds like a huge arrow piercing the sky and flew high into the sky. The "Red Devils" in the back did not give up and caught up.

Maneuver the ship to pull out irregular curves and avoid the constant trajectory of the projectiles. Dioto was pleased to find that the trajectory became scattered, which indicated that the other party was pulled down by himself.

Before he could rejoice for a few seconds, Dioto felt chills and dizziness.

The temperature drops sharply above 10,000 meters, the air is thin, and there must be measures to support life. This is not difficult for Dioto, spells such as thermostats and breathing are essential spells for transcendents traveling at home.

After casting two spells, Dioto was no longer cold, but his eyes were even more dizzy, and his magic power was almost exhausted.

Gritted his teeth and drank the magic potion, recovered a little, and urged the flying dragon core crystal with all his strength, and the magic power was like a glass of wine swallowed in a big gulp, and he was about to see the bottom again.

It's more than 15,000 kilometers, and the Red Devil should be ......

Dioto looked back and almost cried.

The crimson fighter was still chasing two or three thousand meters below, probably because it was above and the trajectory of the cannon was bent a lot, so it didn't fire.

At this moment, Dioto seriously considered whether to use teleportation to save his life, but the last time he teleported, even if he used a valuable space stone, it was extremely thrilling, and he dispelled this idea again.

It looks like things are getting better, the Red Devils aren't closing the distance, maybe they're almost at the limit.

After a few moments, Dioto's flying boat was sure that it had flown more than 20,000 meters, and the crimson fighter below was pulled farther away, and he breathed a sigh of relief, and sure enough.

Whether it was his own magic power or the magic crystal of the flying boat, he was almost at the limit, but he finally escaped from the heavens......

Dioto began to think about how to explain to the halflings and the Ted family, although it was a complete defeat, but it was a crime of non-war, who knew that Prell had made a plane that was faster than the flying boat.

He was able to go back with all his beard and tail, and that was already a victory. At least only if he knows the characteristics of this new opponent and knows how to improve the flying boat to fight it. And he also discovered the fatal flaw of the new opponent, which is the height. When the opponent flies above 15,000 meters, its performance has dropped a lot, and 20,000 meters is its insurmountable moat.

In the crimson sardines, looking at the smaller and smaller flying boats, Catherine said resolutely: "Lida, you come!"

Of course, the halfling girl understood what her sister meant, and most of the reason she sat in the sardine was for this.

"Good...... Ok ......"

She nervously activated the joystick, took over the authority to control the fighter, and continued to maintain direction and speed. At the same time, she pulled down the transparent windshield between the front and rear seats.

Catherine's landline is a special model, and the front and rear seats can control the plane, because Catherine will be in human combat at any time.

Catherine pushed her hands and the cockpit canopy parted to the sides, and she got up without hesitation, the burgundy glow flowing from her body like a black hole, absorbing all the cold air currents.

With both hands pulling out the greatsword and stretching the light wings behind her back, Catherine maintained her current first-order transformation state, confirming the position and distance of the other party through the eagle glasses on her helmet.

The crimson sardine continued to climb with its head held high, its speed slowed down significantly, and the distance in the eagle's glasses had expanded to more than 4,000 meters, and the opponent had risen to more than 20,000 meters, which was also the only indicator that the flying boat was now superior to the plane.

Catherine took a deep breath, the red light on her body suddenly became blazing, and the great sword in her hand shrank into a small one-handed hammer, and the destructive divine power wrapped the hammer like fireworks.

"Audiel, the Hammer of Liberation!"

Catherine shouted and threw the hammer out of her hand.

The red light shot up into the sky like lightning, and in a moment it flew over a distance of more than 4,000 meters, right in the tail of the flying boat.

The tail of the boat shattered, breaking into tiny pieces no more than a finger. The hammer wrapped in the power of destruction did not stop, piercing through the interior of the flying boat, rapidly disintegrating the flying boat from back to front. Whether it was the wooden planks of the outer shell, or the magic circuits inside, including the magic circle, they all flew like collapsed sand sculptures.

Dioto felt a majestic force blasting from behind, and before he could react, most of the protective magic guides on his body had already shattered.

Before that force could tear through layers of protection and invade his body, Diotto, sensing the impending death, erupted, and his strength rose wildly, using the sixth-level spell Vajra Protector.

At this moment, Dioto reached the pinnacle of his life......

The Hammer of Liberation slammed into his back, shattering the blue light shield that covered Dioto like a soap bubble, the cockpit disintegrating, his clothes to pieces, and even the Wyvern Core Control Ball in his hand shattered.

The small hammer did not stop, piercing through his body and piercing the entire ship.

The debris rained down like petals before Dioto's eyes, and then blown away by the cold current. Naked, he remained seated, pushed by inertia and continued to rise.

The friction of the air flow through his body was so unfamiliar, and the last trace of consciousness made Dioto look down at his body, and it felt strange.

Through the large holes in his chest and abdomen, he could clearly see that in the sky covered by a faint red light, the fighter plane was still climbing with its head held high.

"It's so cool...... It's so cold......"

Dioto let out such an emotion, his consciousness dissipated, and his body rushed to the highest point, falling towards the earth twenty thousand meters below.

The hammer was back in Catherine's hands, and by this time the crimson sardine was struggling to keep climbing, and the nose was sinking.

She sat back in the cockpit, closed the hatch, and spat out, "That's it!"

The Witch of Destruction also sweated in her hands, and almost let go, which was really a bit of a struggle.

..................

At the Cactus Air Base, fighter planes are being prepared. There are salmon and monkfish, and there are new models with a fuselage similar to that of monkfish, but with a pair of straight wings and two propellers carried at the end of the wings.

In the makeshift tent, Richie, dressed in strange armor, was talking to someone.

"Forty-seven enemy flying boats were shot down in the battle, nineteen were shot down in pursuit, and eight escaped from high altitudes, but the magic crystals of the flying boats and the mana consumption of the pilots should not be enough to support them to return to the lair. ”

"Catherine confirms to shoot down the enemy leader and kills the leader......"

"We lost two monkfish and one salmon. The sardines lost two planes, one because the magic electric furnace failed after entering the poor demon area, and the other was accidentally injured by their own side. Twelve more were wounded, most of them by accident. Without the tactical system, this number would have been higher. ”

"Now the transport fleet is making its way through the scorched rock wilderness, and I and the rest of the support units, plus the fighter squadron, are returning to the forward base. ”

Tina's report was sent to the conning tower at the same time, from where there were loud cheers.

"It's a little bit of a problem, but it'...... Yes, a big win!"

Of course, such a result will not surprise Rich, but it is still worth rejoicing that the prediction has become a reality.

"Now is not the time to celebrate, before Mirjos can react, let's swing a hammer and smash it. Now he doesn't have any decent air power except for a floating ship, two dragons, and a few wyverns. ”

As he spoke, Li Qi looked at the tarmac in front of him, and piles of soldiers were checking their equipment, helping each other to put on armor and make final preparations before departure.

He comforted again: "Okay, knowing that you are a legend, you can also help a lot in that kind of place, but trust everyone." If you work two shifts a day, others will gossip. Come back and have a good rest, and by the way, preside over the enemy reconnaissance in the rear, and someone has to sit in the house when the house is empty. ”

The last paragraph worked, and Tina finally stopped asking for her to be taken with her.

Richie ...... Help me, this thing is ...... Troublesome. ”

The communication ended, and another witch fell in love with him.

It was Aurora, wearing the same style of dark gray armor as him, with braids coiled on her head, pulling at the armor plate on her chest, looking very uncomfortable. Even the closed full-body armor, because it is very close-fitting, outlines the stunning curves of the Banner Witch quite clearly.

Fortunately, for added protection, all of them had a light skirt of armor that covered the most prominent curves of the buttocks.

Li Qi stood behind her, helped adjust the tightness of her chest, and sighed: "I have long said that there is no need to go, Stark does not have a special size for female soldiers." ”

Aurora gave him a blank look: "It's not your fault!"

Li Qi wanted to say something, but there were a lot of people around, so he had to accept it silently. I secretly complained in my heart that my hands were just proportional breast enlargement, and whoever made your foundation so good was about to become a cow.

Next to her, Finney was wearing an armor that was one size smaller, and jumped to her feet and shouted, "I'm going to adjust it too!"

"Yes, yes", Richie went over to serve Finney again, but this time with his chest tightened.

Karin pretended to be a monster next to her: "And me!"

Vicky used her foreknowledge skills and waved her hands one after another, signaling that there was no her.

Operation Hammer is to clean up the legend of Mirjos, and the enemy is lenient, and his two-headed dragon is also counted as a legend, so Li Qi's side is elite.

The legend has Richie and Finney, and of course Richie will become Stranger when needed.

At the peak of the sixth level, there are the witches Aurora, Karin, and Vicky, the shield of thorns Wilson, the demon warrior Kramer, and the dead Jingle, and Insi and several silk witches act as messengers as usual.

Aurora joins because the environment is complicated and a powerful support is a must. Aurora proved in the previous defense battle of Beta City that she is currently the first buff machine of the Fei Gong, and she personally strongly asked to participate, so Li Qi had to agree.

He knew that Aurora actually had a small plan, that is, trying to fit in with him. It's not like I haven't practiced before, but unfortunately it's hard to find the right fit without being in a real combat environment...... Uh, the method.

The purpose of Operation Hammer is to completely pull out Mirjos and his forces, so naturally it will not be a simple squad battle. In addition to these high-end combat forces, various units including sky and ground are involved.

The more than 100 Benuin soldiers led by Retana are part of it, and she is also counted in the elite combat power, after all, she is a sixth-level peak knight.

She was very unhappy about this, because Li Qi ended up choosing only more than a hundred people, instead of bringing all the six hundred soldiers she belonged to.

"That's the result of the training test, considering that you will be fighting in the caves, so the requirements have been lowered. If you choose people strictly according to the criteria, few of your subordinates will be qualified. ”

When it comes to training camps, Retana can't fight anymore.

These ten days of training really opened her eyes, and she originally thought that the magic guide weapon was just the same as the previous magic guide bow and crossbow, hiding far away and fighting in a despicable and shameless way. After training, I found out that the magic weapon is completely to amplify the combat power of the individual, and then organize the battle in a new way. In the new way of fighting, distance is not the key, the key is the need.

In the simulated battle, even if he led the team, he was tortured and killed by the Fei Gong soldiers whose level was far lower than his own. The results again and again made Retana bow her proud head and study humbly, as a pious knight, she still has such a mentality.

However, there are some things that Retana still struggles to adapt to, such as the armor she wears.

Attached to the thick cloak said to be woven from demonic spider silk, the entire body is covered by a pair of magical metal frames along the joints of the limbs, including the soles of the feet, and armor and soft joints are attached to the shelves. The helmet is also fully enclosed, with vision provided by magic glasses.

The whole set of armor fits very well, and with the magic crystal circle, the total weight is hundreds of kilograms, and it can be easily moved without spells. The magic guide metal armor plate can protect against spells below level 6, and it is difficult to penetrate even the magic guide gun you use. If you activate spells such as hardening and anti-magic, you can withstand the legendary normal attack for a short time.

Retana felt uncomfortable wearing this armor, one reason was that the armor was very expensive, the skeleton was actually made of magic steel, and the armor plates were pure gold. In the past, the Adamantite Dagger could be used as an artifact, but now dozens of kilograms of magic steel and Adamantite Gold are made into shells and put on her body, as if she was covered with gold bushels, which made her tiptoe, and at first she didn't even dare to take a breath of air, for fear that she would not be able to afford to pay for it.

Another reason is that even if you move freely with this shell, you are still a shell after all. She always felt that if she needed hand-to-hand combat, this shell was too much of a hindrance.

Li Qi's answer was that as long as the other party couldn't tear open this shell, why should he compete with the other party? Just use the short spear that was allocated, and then unfold the shield and split it with the magic steel sword. No skill can compare to the strength of the armor and the sword, and this set of legion armaments implements such a fighting rule.

"But why are our helmets different from yours?"

Retana held her helmet, upset at the newly found evidence of discrimination.

She and her men were rounded in helmets, and their faces were dotted with holes filled with crystals, which were various magic mirrors. The helmets of Richie and others are bucket-shaped, with compound spider-like eyes on one side of the face and three larger holes on the other, which are much more sophisticated at first glance.

"We are all Crimson professionals, and we can transmit more information through the Divine Power Teleportation Network, but you can only rely on magic teleportation to connect, and the information function is less. But don't worry, we'll have someone dedicated to relaying the critical and necessary information so you can all know. ”

"Just like weapons, aren't there great differences between the weapons we use?"

In addition to the magic guide weapon on Li Qi's side, everyone also has a crimson divine power weapon, which is designed according to personal expertise and the principle of maximizing combat effectiveness. Of course, Li Qi himself is the handle of Tyr, and the other witches also have their own artifacts.

Retana's side, like a normal legionnaire, is just a standard magic weapon. She herself had a long sword mixed with Mithril and Adamantite Gold, which she had always regarded as a treasure, but compared to the magic steel sword she was distributed, it was just a piece of broken copper and iron, so she had to put it away as a souvenir.

Li Qi smiled and asked again, "Any more questions?"

Retana really has a lot of questions, the biggest question is, why are you leading the team and not Kiri?

From the bottom of her heart, she wanted to fight with Qili and see Qili's heroic fighting posture. That night, Qili slashed out a thunderous blow that seemed to tear the night sky, which really shocked her. The hand-to-hand combat that followed was even more unforgettable, and it was the first time she had been defeated by another body.

What a beautiful, powerful sister that is......

It's a pity that Qili is said to have returned to the plane of the Kingdom of God to participate in the God War. Unless the battle is unfavorable, she will not participate in this fight.

Because of Qili, Retana is even more unaccustomed to Li Qi, such a perfect elf woman would actually succumb to this soft and weak guy. I heard that Qili is still Li Qi's mentor, and I also heard that the relationship between the two is more intimate, which is really ......

Why!?

Seeing this guy's intimate interaction with the other two saints, one big and one small, just now, she was even more angry, isn't it enough to have Qili?

Li Qi definitely didn't know what thoughts were going on in Retana's mind, so he felt that the other party's face was very strange.

Just when Retana couldn't help but seek justice for Kiri, her gaze turned to the other side, as if she was stuck in something and couldn't break free anymore.

Li Qi followed, and the dark gold medal team came.

Ryoma Ash descended from the sky, carrying four loli on his back, tapping and tapping, and came to Richie's side in dressage.

How can there be four loli......

In addition to the purple-haired Mickey, there is also a dancing Finn who is covered in a flash of at least eight stars and eight diamonds...... The Endless Saintess, these two are acquainted.

There is also a little pseudo-girl mixed in the loli pile, the blue dragon Halligos.

The only one left with short emerald green hair.,Ice blue eyes Lori,Who's it?

The green-haired Lori compared her scissor hands, spit out her pink tongue, and said in Richie's familiar crisp voice, "This is my human form!"

Elven Dragon Sajani - Tudor......

Picking Haligos down and throwing it aside, and then picking up Mickey and Sajani down, Richie said to the star-haired Lori, "Are you going to build a total of four cute?"

"Don't count me in", Elizabeth of the Endless Saint said in an old-fashioned tone, "Don't miss the little ash. ”

"There are four Meng in total, and there have always been five", Li Qi smiled and stretched out his hand: "Do you want me to hug it?"

This is the Endless Saintess version of Xiaohong, according to the image Li Qi privately named her clone Xiaohongsu, and this name has been recognized by everyone.

Xiao Hongsu glared angrily: "Is it okay to maintain my dignity in front ......of everyone!?

Seeing that Retana and a Benuin warrior were staring at her with curious and admiring eyes, Xiao Hongsu shut up in time and swallowed back the words "I am a goddess".

She glared at Li Qi again unhappily, and her little body rose from the horse's back, and moved out strangely, just floating in the air, without any movement, as if it was cut directly.

"Forget that this clone of me is an Endless Saintess? Specializing in space magic, this time I will not fight with you, but also deal with the teleportation. ”

That's right, Operation Hammer needs to mobilize a large number of troops, and it is not enough to rely on airlift, so I want that who and Xiao Hongsu to work together to support.

Li Qi still asked with concern, "Is Epsilon okay?"

Xiao Hongsu was very confident: "Alishan is in charge, my Muen-Shiva has also set up a self-discipline mode and put it there, and the cooperation between the Chaos Angels and the Styx Heroic Spirit is becoming more and more proficient. And those guys outside seem to be fighting inside, and QB and I took half a day to help, no problem. ”

"Self-discipline mode?"

When Li Qi heard this, he was even more worried: "Are you really relieved?"

Xiao Hongsu spread her hands, and the cute appearance of a small ghost made the eyes of Aurora and Retana next to her flash with stars: "The self-discipline mode is to follow my mental model, coupled with the instinctive reaction of the gods, what is there to worry about?"

"The instinctive reaction of the gods comes from concrete laws, I remember there are as many as 50 million," said Richie, "even if you adjust to a mental model that is more obedient to you, you really don't fear that you will be on the grave when the time comes...... No, the situation of jumping on the Liberation Monument, or even dancing a striptease?"

"Li Qi, always go out of your way to ridicule me, you will have retribution!"

Xiao Hongsu's long star-purple hair dragged to the ground flickered violently, her pink little face bulged out two bags, and her big eyes flashed with awe-inspiring inviolability...... It's weird brilliance. It tickled Richie's heart, and some wanted to dig out a lollipop.

After threatening Li Qi, Xiao Hongsu's brows furrowed: "I'm also a little worried when you say this, let's finish it early, QB is ready on the Epsilon side." ”

Getting down to business, Richie stopped joking with her, holding Mickey in one hand, Sajani on his shoulder, and Harrigos by the collar in the other, shouting, "Let's go——!"

Here, Aurora, Karin, Finney, and the other witches rushed up and surrounded Xiao Hongsu, and Retana also rubbed over, with a posture of not giving up without stretching out her fingers to poke Xiao Hongsu's face.

On the tarmac, salmon rose into the air, monkfish's magic furnace began to vibrate, and monkfish changed ...... In an airplane, also known as a manta ray, the propeller turns upwards and rotates slowly.

A four-legged magic guide vehicle carrying various equipment climbed into the transport plane with the assistance of ground crew.

Gathered on the edge, hundreds of soldiers were still sitting on the ground. They sat and pushed the front, stood up and pulled the sitting, put on heavy armor, hung all kinds of equipment, lined up in a long line, and stepped on the tail door of the transport plane.

Operation Hammer has officially begun.
