Wesley was left in the barracks, and the adjutant said that Count Donn wanted to see him, but only when the Count returned from Ironcrown.

The little squire dared not say a word, and honestly stayed in the reception room on the ground, guarded by two guards, and was so bored that he began to count the planes in the sky. Whether it's repeated or not, it doesn't matter if you fly over the barracks.

When he was in his early 300s, he noticed that the formation of the planes was suddenly out of order. A swarm of planes flew in from the south, and the speed was amazing.

Wesley recognized it at a glance, it was Fei Gong's sardines!

The magic planes on the Empire's side are not used to being painted, and they all go up to the sky with shiny metal shells. Pilots also like to have a blinding presence in the sky, just like the knights of the old days who rode a tall horse in armor that could be used as a mirror.

Fei Gong's plane was painted with dark gray and light gray, not reflective paint at all, and even if it was a cloudless sunny day, it could only be distinguished from a certain distance. If it's a cloudy day, find it even closer.

The team of sardines was about twenty, which was exactly the size of a squadron, and it didn't mean to hide it at all, so it rushed to the Imperial Legion station in a daze.

The forty or fifty Imperial fighters in the sky looked like novices, and they rushed over with a roar without a whole formation. Wesley could understand the anxiety of those pilots, everyone had seen the phantom of the Fei Shared Plane defeating the "War Colossus Count", even if a Fei Gong plane was put in, the dropped magic bomb could kill an entire legion.

Especially those hillbillies who still carry long swords and shields, because the war is still face-to-face......

Wesley looked disdainfully at a nearby military unit, where the soldiers were still pointing at the soldiers in the other military circles who were eager to dodge, and laughed.

Then he suddenly thought of a very serious question, wouldn't the Fei Gong's fighter planes come to blow up the enchantment where he was staying?

Just when his face turned pale, the two guards guarding him also looked at each other in horror, but there was no order, and they did not dare to move.

The Imperial fighters, twice the size of the Fei Gong fighters, pounced on the Fei Gong sardines, and these fighters based on the Fei Gong salmon were also improved accordingly, and the maximum speed was close to 800 kilometers per hour. But in the face of sardines, which have also been improved, and the speed is steadily approaching the sound barrier, it still looks clumsy.

If the Fei Gong fighters fire at this time, the long and messy queue of Imperial fighters will probably all succeed.

There were no gunshots in the sky, and the commanders on both sides exercised restraint and gave orders to their subordinates not to fire the first shot.

When the two sides were about to make contact, the Fei Gong fighters suddenly worked in groups of two planes, pulling out arcs, and the white mist sprayed by the tail booster outlined a clear trajectory, and a flower suddenly bloomed in the sky.

The Imperial fighters subconsciously followed up, and the group of planes that were originally concentrated in the middle of the air was pulled in all directions, and the airspace suddenly opened up.

After the group was completely separated, the eight Fei Gong fighters suddenly turned sharply, gathered like flytraps, and accelerated towards the Imperial Legion station.

The Imperial planes were in a state of confusion and turned around, but the sardines, far outnumbered them in maneuverability and speed, turned around and rushed to the side of the pursuers, playing a thrilling aerial acrobatics.

Some rolled around the barrel of the Imperial Fighter, some flew on top of the Imperial Fighter and flipped upside down, and the pilots inside waved to the Imperial pilots. Others flew side-by-side with the Imperial planes and flapped their wings to overtake...... No, the posture of the overtaking aircraft forced the Imperial fighters to slow down and reduce altitude.

In the midst of this chaos, the eight Fei Gong sardines had already rushed into the sky above the Imperial Legion, almost grazing the top of the military unity boundary at a height of three or four hundred meters, and the vibration caused by it caused the enchantment to ripple in a circle of obvious ripples.

When the eight sardines formed a column and swept over the barrier overhead, and the leader dropped two bombs with a flick of its wings, Wesley closed his eyes and said to himself, Uncle, I can't serve you anymore.

The two guards screamed and fell to the ground with their heads in their hands.

Gunshots rang out, brilliance flashed, rays tore through the sky, and not only did the Empire's side open full anti-aircraft fire, but the transcendents on the ground were also desperately shooting with all kinds of spells and weapons. Since the Fei Communist fighters have dropped their bombs, it is equivalent to the official start of the war.

Without a fire control system, the multi-link machine gun and the magic rapid-fire cannon naturally could not catch the fighter plane at a speed of eight or nine hundred kilometers per hour, and could only strafe the sky in vain. More anti-aircraft firepower and spells are still rushing for the dropped bombs, but at a height of just three or four hundred meters, even a hero-level transcendent cannot complete the series of actions of capturing the rapidly falling bomb and casting spells in just one or two seconds.

So the first two bombs fell to the ground under the watchful eyes of thousands of people.

The expected earth-shattering explosion did not happen, and the two "bombs" landed on the ground and bounced high, jumping in the enchantment like a bouncing ball.

This was followed by two more "bombs", the same two bouncing balls that looked like large olives.

When all eight fighters dropped their bombs and soared into the sky, sixteen large jumping balls jumped in the enchantment, and the atmosphere was extremely embarrassing.

The first two bouncing balls finally stopped beating, and some of the brave soldiers rushed forward, and then exclaimed, "There's a living person inside!"

The pale green transparent material like slime gum was wrapped in a living person, a respirator was stuffed in his mouth, his eyes were round, and he was in a dizzy state of falling from a high altitude and bouncing indiscriminately.

"What a great idea......"

In the sky, was showing off his wisdom to his men: "Throwing those Sachedonian soldiers with a projectile ball will not only humiliate the Imperial army, but also lure them into firing." ”

One of his subordinates shouted: "It's dangerous, boss, my plane has been hit by several bullets!"

shouted, "Then double ...... No, give them back ten times as many bullets, stupid!"

On the other side of the sky, the fighter planes flew over, and the trajectory was intertwined. Now that the imperial side has opened fire, the sardines of the Fei Gong have also unceremoniously moved. Originally, they were firmly biting their target, and almost in an instant, nearly ten Imperial warplanes either disintegrated in the air or fell to the ground with black smoke.

"Well done guys! Don't insult your captain! He's a member of the Fourth Circus!"

Dyck's shameless declaration resounded through the squadron's channel, and amid laughter, the 4th Fighter Squadron of the 1st Group of the 2nd Air Force began their show. At this moment, more fighters appeared in the sky to the north and south.

An hour and a half later, as the sun set, Donn returned to the Legion station. He was greeted not only by his dejected subordinates, but also by an air battle report.

"That's right, more than 30 of the 80 fighters we dispatched retreated, and we also shot down four fighters of the other side. Although not a single pilot was caught, two intact wreckage of warplanes were towed. ”

Don said expressionlessly: "What a good record, and the cause of the battle is that the other side threw back the soldiers who slipped to Prell City as bombs, which caused a miscalculation on our side...... Mmmm, what a good joke, His Majesty the God Emperor will definitely be very happy. ”

The subordinates were silent, which was obviously the commander-in-chief's efforts to suppress his anger.

Since the commander-in-chief brought the legion here, he has been trying his best to restrain himself, on the grounds that it would only be humiliating to start fighting now. At that time, many of the Young Zhuang officers were still very unconvinced, and now they all stared down at the tips of their shoes and did not speak.

Tang En swallowed his anger back into his stomach, looked at the glow in the sky, and sighed faintly: "If we can't defend the sky, this battle can't be fought at all, and the war in the Silver Pine Kingdom has fully demonstrated this." ”

The adjutant said: "Now only by taking advantage of the fact that the army of the Priv Communists has not yet assembled in place, and occupy the city of Prell as soon as possible, can we rely on the city of Prestige to offset the air superiority of the Communists." ”

Don frowned and said, "You mean, use the people of Prell City as human shields?"

The adjutant's tone did not waver in the slightest: "They have already declared their allegiance to Li Qi, according to the decree of His Majesty the Divine Emperor, they are the enemies of the gods, and the messenger who came to convey this matter is still waiting for the chief." ”

Tang En was silent for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "Let the messenger go back, and tell him that I already know." Then let him tell his master that from tomorrow dawn, the city of Prell will be an enemy of the Empire. ”

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

At the beginning of the night, after enjoying the special seafood feast of Storm Ocean, Rovanna leisurely entered the communication room of the Magic Tower.

She first asked Taling to activate the joint communication network, then connected another crystal ball, and told Taling: "Be vigilant".

As a member of the Board of Directors of the Joint Communications Committee, she and all the directors were well aware that the Joint Communications Network had become a perceptual branch of Her Majesty Emperor Theresia. His Majesty's consciousness tentacles roam the Internet at all times, collecting and reviewing all kinds of information, and talking to all kinds of people.

It is also very simple to avoid the detection of the God Emperor, after all, the God Emperor does not know the technical basis of the joint communication network, and this network is also built by magic, so the temporary "dark web" under this communication network has become a convenient and safe communication channel for magicians.

One by one, the images were projected from the crystal ball, and the "Visual Magic Research Association" headed by Luo Wenna held another high-level meeting today. Each image is a giant in the Finn Mirage industry, including recording chips, mirage screens, processing nuclear crystals, magic circuits, and special magic metals for mirage magic guides.

These magic products seem inconspicuous, but because of the explosive growth of the mirage magic industry, each link means an annual output value of millions or even tens of millions of gold bushels, so that this "visual magic research society" is steadily crushed in scale compared with those seemingly tall magic guide guns and floating ship industries.

In this day and age, whether it's a portable assistant or a mirage machine, or a screen that connects to a joint communication network and other magic devices, all kinds of visual magic devices are as popular as the skinning knives in the hands of adventurers in the old days.

Even if there are only one million transcendents in the world, each person can spend ten gold bushels in this field every year, and the annual output value can be 10 million. Of course, it actually costs more, and the users are mainly various workshops, trading companies, and guilds.

One of the members said in a low voice, "I just got the news that Mosmut's Magic Aircraft Workshop has been ordered to add 1,000 Guardian fighters, that is, the improved version of the Salmon Fighter of Feigong. In addition, the Ministry of Magic has revised orders issued to several Magic Aircraft Workshops in the Duchy of Norton, asking them to provide 1,000 replicas based on the Fertuan Sardine Fighter within a month. ”

Another member said: "The air battle outside Prell has just ended, and we don't know the exact situation yet, but it looks like the Empire has lost." ”

"If you don't occupy the sky, there will be no way to fight the war", another member said with emotion: "His Majesty the Divine Emperor's floating fleet, as well as the most advanced flying boats and warplanes, have all gathered together to prepare for a decisive battle, but it does not mean that the Divine Emperor is willing to see the sky in other theaters firmly controlled by the Fei Gong." ”

"This is our great opportunity", Rowanna finally spoke, "The news I received is that the result of this air battle is four to forty-nine, and the total number of Fei still loses four, so His Majesty the Divine Emperor is in a hurry to continue to increase the number of fighters that have been expanded." ”

"This means that in the end, the empire may have thousands or even tens of thousands of magic guide fighters, so that it can curb the Fei Gong's superiority in the sky through a war of attrition for resources. ”

"Based on the cost of each fighter plane related to Mirage is 500 gold bushels, which means 5 million gold bushels of business. We must unite as one and advance and retreat together. ”

"Although the total amount is not large, as long as the fighter lacks Mirage technology, it will not be able to compete with the Fei Gong fighter, and this fact will soon be extended to other aspects of the war. The magic car, the command department under the legion, and even individual soldiers, when the time comes, the mirage technology will become an indispensable force for the legion. If it is disseminated from the field of the army to the people, the scale of the industry will be so large that we can hardly imagine it in the future. ”

"It's a very critical moment for us and we have to give it our all to take advantage of this opportunity. ”

The members nodded one after another, the mirage industry can grow so strongly, and the reason why Rowanna can sit on the position of the leader of the industry alliance is because of her foresight.

There are still some members who are worried: "Although the depreciation of the golden bushels is terrible now, but the cost of 500 gold bushels of each fighter is too high? If the magic guide fighter that the God Emperor finally got is too expensive, he will definitely have opinions about us and think that we are taking advantage of the fire to ......."

Rowanna sneered: "Is the mirage equipment used on the fighter plane used by ordinary people? Take the screen as an example, it must be able to withstand a considerable degree of magic impact, it must be able to adapt to different changes in the magic field, and it can still display basic information in a destroyed state, and each indicator means that the cost is several times more expensive than the screen hung in the store and installed at home!"

"There is never a bargain for what is used in war! Yes, in the past, the lords were only willing to equip their soldiers with weapons at the lowest price, but now the war is not determined by numbers, or even by the strength level of the transcendents, but by the magic equipment. You get what you pay for, and if you want to make sure that the equipment on your side is not too much worse than that on the Fei Gong side, you can't save gold bushels!"

"You all know how many gold bushels a pair of Fei Gong genuine eagle glasses sells on the black market, which is ten times that of similar products on the Empire's side!"

"As for His Majesty the Divine Emperor's troubles......"

Rowanna smiled proudly: "Most of Finn's mirage industry is mastered by our visual research society, think about it, it is easy to get enough things for us to spend less gold bushels, or to squeeze more gold bushels on other people and get things at a price we are satisfied with, which of the two choices is easier for her to achieve?"

"As long as we don't ask for a sky-high price, even if she will be very painful, she won't dare to persecute us, after all, we are supporting her order holy war. ”

Rowanna joked, "If you really want to force us into enemies, His Majesty the God Emperor can only go to Li Qi to buy something." ”

The joke wasn't very funny, but the members laughed along. Indeed, the mirage technique does not seem to matter in the war. But when the enemy has something that he doesn't have, it's a weakness. All kinds of weaknesses converge, and the outcome of the war is clear at a glance.

Now the Fei Gong is not only a fighter plane, but also a magic guide car and even ordinary soldiers are using a lot of mirage technology, so that all aspects of information such as reconnaissance, communication, and their own conditions are clear at a glance, and every second of time and attention saved is really improving combat effectiveness.

"Things like magic guns and floating ships, if the profits are too high, there will naturally be competition", Rowanna said in a solemn tone: "Our mirage products are very inconspicuous, and the individual profits are not looked at by those high-ranking guys, we can only rely on the massive market, like a groundhog to make a little bit of gold bushels." ”

"If we have to compete with each other, we will not make any profit at all, so please continue to stick to the tacit understanding that we have reached. ”

Some members smiled and said, "Don't worry, the president, we will keep our own stalls, and it will be difficult to compete." And if one of them collapses, there is no one else to replace for a while. ”

The member who spoke first smiled in a deep voice, "Very well, then let's hope that this war can be fought endlessly." ”

"That's not going to work," said Rowanna, with a sympathetic expression, "who will buy our things when people die too much? At most, those untouchables who have no supernatural powers, who can neither use our things, nor work for us, will die." ”
