To the south of Kester, over Red Eagle City, a formation of Imperial fighters swept by, flying south. In the distance, the sky thundered and flashed, and flames shone brightly.

There was a wave of joy in the central square of Red Eagle City, both for the joy of having received the protection of His Majesty the God Emperor and for the imminent punishment of the traitor.

A high platform was erected in the square, and several gallows were lined up, and several men and women with their arms tied upside down under the gallows lowered their heads, looking like they were despaired.

"Koster people of Red Eagle City, we are here today to witness the shameful end of traitors!"

Marquis Vic, the southern governor of the old Koster Kingdom, made an impassioned speech on the high platform: "It is these people who betrayed information to the former Fei Gong and the current Red Alliance, and even embezzled my name to negotiate with them about the surrender of Kaesong!"

"This is a great insult to my personal conduct and honor! It is also an insult to all the people of Red Eagle City! Today, we use the lives of these traitors to wash away the shame we have received, and at the same time shout to the invaders, we will never surrender!"

Thousands of people in the square shouted in unison: "We will never surrender!"

"Execution!"

The old marquis, who had white hair and white beard and a very neatly trimmed goatee, and exuded a delicate aura throughout the whole person, waved his hand, and the executioners put rope traps around the prisoners' necks and hung them into the air one by one in the shouts of ten thousand people.

Vic sat down, and the legendary druid next to him coughed and whispered, "Are you really sure that the Empire can defeat the Red Alliance?"

The old man shrugged: "I'm not sure, but if you don't do this, hundreds of thousands of citizens will be in a mess." ”

He said with pity on his face: "Then I don't know how many people will die, they are all Kosters." ”

Slukano looked very hesitant: "If the empire is defeated and the Red Federation continues to attack, do you still have to do the same? At that time, will it be shouted long live liberation? Or to change the word, such as ...... Long live freedom?"

The legendary druid twitched his cheeks, looking uncomfortable: "I don't think it's ...... Is it embarrassing?"

Vic patted Slucano on the shoulder, "What are you worried about, dear Lord Slucano? Do you think the people in the square are laughing at me? No, they are grateful to me." ”

"Whether it is the previous contact with the Fee Communists, or now it is falling to the Empire, in the final analysis, I am thinking about everyone. ”

"How can they laugh at me when I am shameless in front of the stage doing such embarrassing things for everyone? Of course, there are inevitably some people who do this, but they are just ignorant rats. ”

"Really Red United won...... To be honest, this is still very likely, I will just hang a group of imperial spies who have deceived me. ”

The prisoners were twitching in mid-air, watching them kick their legs like severed frogs, or twist their waists like fish on a board, and the audience cheered with joy.

Slukano rubbed his eyebrows and said, "It would be nice if the mobile fortress of the Red Union could go faster, maybe now I have started to do research in the Red Alliance." ”

Vic looked at him sympathetically, the legendary druid had tried his best at the Broken Sword Fortress, but was beaten to the ground by the Mobile Fortress. After being brought to Red Eagle City by him, he had a full understanding of the magic technology on Fei Gong's side, especially the research field of the druids, and immediately understood that he was just sitting in a well and watching the sky.

Knowing that the legend had extremely superior treatment in the Fei Gong, especially when he was responsible for research, Slucano had already moved the idea of defecting to the Fei Gong. It's a pity that the resistance in the Folding Sword Fortress made him register on the side of the Fei Gong, and he didn't dare to vote directly if he didn't do something to make up for his mistakes.

Originally, what the two discussed was to hand over Red Eagle City to Fei Gong safely, which was also a credit, but they didn't expect the situation to take a turn for the worse. The previous Fei Gong, and now the Red Union, are directly involved with the Dawning Empire.

Vic sighed: "Who knew that the Ancestor Disaster suddenly broke out? Dakai told me that the Red Union does not want the nobles, merchants and rich people in the city, as long as the mobile fortress is outside the city, we will cooperate a little more and drive those people to the Neoxter Kingdom, and we will complete the task." ”

"yes, you should be able to go to the Red Union for research at that time. Although you caused them a little trouble in the Broken Sword Fortress, the ...... in Red Eagle City The uprising should be able to atone for the sin. ”

"And I can go to Xinxter and save up more chips for another trade and do more to protect the people of Xinxter. ”

Srukano looked surprised: "Your original plan was to go to Nexter!? I thought you would join me in the Red Union." ”

"Why do you want to go to the Red Union? They want to exterminate the aristocracy, I don't like their faith. ”

Vic shook his head: "But I don't want to join the Empire, God Emperor...... It is not normal to be both human and divine beings. Mortals will be corrupted, gods will be arrogant, and in the end they will not treat people as human beings, look at what happened to Belino. ”

"Not to mention the empire of Romros, which is neither a man nor a god, and cannot understand it at all. ”

"Of course, the Neo-Vester Kingdom is a joke, and I just use it as a bigger bargaining chip in my own path, and by the way, let the Verts die less in the maelstrom. ”

The old man sighed deeply: "I, ah, have a conscience. ”

Srucano's expression turned confused: "You...... Isn't he a knight? This kind of thing has nothing to do with the knight's beliefs, right?"

Vic winked at Slucano, "I didn't believe in the god of knights when he was replaced, and now I believe in another god." ”

Askano curiously, "Which one?" is it...... The goddess of business?"

Listening to Vic's open chips and closed trades, the legendary druids naturally had such speculations.

Vic smiled and shook his head: "The gods I believe in should not have ascended to the kingdom of God yet." ”

At this time, the prisoners on the gallows had stopped struggling, and they stared at each other with their tongues and hideous expressions, which made the audience even more excited.

No matter which country or world, as long as it is a mortal, they like to watch the scene of the same kind being publicly executed, which is really strange and inferior.

The executioner lowered the body and hung it under the table. Neighboring spectators poured up to spit and throw stones, then ripped their clothes until they cut their flesh, which was the custom of the most heinous executions.

"Probably two more hours......"

Slukano sighed, "Next time, let's really kill, don't let me use the incarnation technique to turn the trunk into a human." And there must be spies from the empire on the scene, and they may not be able to hide from them. ”

Vic said, "I believe in you, Srukano. ”

The legendary druid didn't say anything more, and looked up at the sky with Vic.

The Imperial fighters were still sending reinforcements to the south, and on the clouds higher, a few slow-moving black dots could be faintly seen, which should be floating ships.

The Dawning Empire's Rhemak Legion and the Red Alliance's Koster Legion have been inextricably linked, and the two sides are fiercely fighting for the sky, and no one knows what the final result will be.

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

Dozens of kilometers south of Red Eagle City, a huge mobile fortress walked like a bee in the wilderness, and occasionally a bomb fell nearby, blowing up a puff of smoke and a large cloud of dirt, without hurting the fortress in the slightest.

For Captain Hook, this was already an extremely dangerous sign.

In the command hall, staring straight at the image on the three-dimensional battle map, Hook kept yelling in a loud voice.

"Linde! If this continues, my Foti will be initiated!"

"Port side...... Ah no, this time it's the starboard barrage that's too thin!"

"Leave the spiritual radar alone! now all the power is used on the electric whip to detonate those bombs that may be empowered in advance!"

"Lilac Razor Department, you are the last line of defense, be ready at any time!"

"How much time do you have left for the Divine Armor? Seven minutes? Damn, the battle has just begun!"

The image of Linde, deputy commander of the air force and commander of the First Air Force, suddenly popped up in the projection.

Linde said with a solemn expression: "It is confirmed that the twenty floating ships of Ruimako have arrived at the battlefield, a distance of forty kilometers, and the aviation team has dispatched a blocking force as planned. However, there were neither male sharks nor horned whales, and the blocking effect was unpredictable, so the captain had to prepare for the worst. ”

The old captain looked at ease instead: "Is it finally here?"

He said in a much calmer tone than just now: "Very good, then look at the heavens and the earth, who is powerful!"

Linde nodded: "Please make sure that the information transmission is unimpeded, and I will let the troops leave enough safe areas." ”

With a salute, Linde's image vanished.

Hook picked up the intercom on the command platform, coughed, and said in a low voice, "Turn off the Divine Power Armor, and the Javelin will start to prepare." ”

"The fortress moved to the shelling position, converted to shelling mode. ”

"Boys and girls of the air defense department, Ferti is about to face the most dangerous moment, and it is up to you whether she can give her heavenly counterparts a hard blow. ”

"I don't have much else to say......"

At the end, he raised his voice: "Ferti is the most beautiful!"

Thousands of officers and soldiers in the fortress shouted: "Ferti is the strongest! Heaven and earth, Ferti is the king!"

In the early warning command plane in the clouds far away from the battlefield, the gray elf dispatchers with pointed ears rubbed their faces and lamented, Captain Hook's business ...... No, the battleship culture is really ...... It's impossible to say.

On the other side of the battlefield, at an altitude of 25,000 meters, 20 floating ships lined up in two columns, approaching at speeds of more than 100 kilometers per hour.

The lead flagship is a 100-meter-long Marquis-class floating ship, and the name of the ship "Kulin Angu" is painted next to the bow portrait, which is the seat of the Marquis of Ruimako, the commander of the Western Frontier Legion of the Dawning Empire.

On the bridge command seat, the workbench in front of Ryomac pops up the image of his subordinates.

"Commander, a large group of fighters suddenly appeared in the enemy army, about sixty of them, and they are rushing towards the fleet!"

Ruimako nodded: "The flying boat will attack, the fleet will rise to 30,000 meters, and be ready to attack!"

The sirens were raised, and the bow of the ship raised its head and continued to climb high into the air.

Rimaco sank into his seat, pinching his chin in contemplation.

This is the new warship of the Empire and the ...... of Fei No, in the first battle of the Red Union fighters, who was the winner?

Rhemak sighed, he could only hope that these works of the Imperial Floating Ship Supervision Department could exert its due combat effectiveness as the designer expected.

His entire fleet is a new generation of Imperial floatships, and his ship is the Marquis class, which is a little smaller than the Duke class. Although the firepower and protection are not as good as the Duke class, which is modeled on the "Prince of Familia", it is somewhat stronger than other Earl's class of about 1,000 tons. It is the backbone of the main fleet of the Empire, and also serves as the flagship of the detachment.

After initial exploration, the Dawning Empire's floating ships have roughly a complete system.

The Divine Emperor class, one hundred and sixty meters long, with a standard empty weight of 6,000 tons and a speed of 300 kilometers per hour, the main firepower is one forbidden spell-level magic guide cannon and eight sub-forbidden spell-level magic guide cannons. Because it consumes too many resources, the construction period is too long, and many technologies have not been verified, especially the development of the forbidden spell-level magic guide cannon has just begun, so this level of battleship is still only on the drawings.

King-class, one hundred and forty meters long, with a standard empty weight of 4,000 tons, a speed of 260 kilometers per hour, and two sub-forbidden spell-level magic guide cannons, equivalent to sixteen seventh-level magic guide cannons of the Chilian square cannon. Because the sub-forbidden spell-class magic cannon has not yet solved the problem of size and energy, there are only a few empty hulls lying in the Imperial Floating Ship Workshop.

The Prince and Duke class, also known as the modification of the "Famillia", is 120 meters long, with a standard empty weight of 3,000 tons and a speed of 240 kilometers per hour. Equipped with two old-style siege magic cannons and twelve seventh-level magic cannons.

The Marquis class, to which the Rimac Block belongs is 100 meters long and has a standard empty weight of 1,800 tons. The speed is 240 kilometers per hour, and there is one old-style siege magic cannon and eight seventh-level magic cannons.

The Earl-class below is the smallest official warship of the Imperial Floating Ships, with a length of 80 meters, a standard empty weight of 1,200 tons, a speed of 260 kilometers per hour, and eight seventh-level magic cannons.

In addition to the main magic cannon, each ship also has a number of ray cannons, spell amplifiers, and small and medium-caliber magic cannons and machine guns.

The smaller Viscount and Baron classes belong to auxiliary warships and are used for special purposes such as reconnaissance and raids. This detachment of Rimac has one Marquis, twelve Counts, and seven Viscounts and Barons.

In the old days, this was a terrifying fleet that could run rampant on the Finn Continent, but now, in the face of sixty magic guide fighters, it had to be dealt with with all your heart.

Compared with the old floating ships, the biggest difference between the new warship and the old floating ship is that the hull adopts the configuration of positive and negative triangular splicing, and the profile has become a prismatic shape. The Magic Cannon is placed in the middle of the hull to ensure the best firing range in both directions. At the same time, the upper deck and the bottom of the ship are also sloping structures, so that there is no opportunity for fighters.

The empire has now roughly figured out the characteristics of the magic guide fighter, and determined that this kind of flying machine that stirs the air with propellers can fly up to 20,000 meters. Although the Red Alliance's fighters can fly higher with boosters, they can't stay at high altitude for too long, so as long as the floating ship does not descend, the fighters can only rush out of the water for a short time like a flying fish to attack, and then fall back into the water weakly.

With the altitude, the floating ship can safely drop bombs at high altitude, but the accuracy is completely unguaranteed, but the primary goal of this fleet is to blow up the mobile fortress of the Red Alliance, such a large target, the movement is still very slow, and it should be assured.

Blowing up the Mobile Fortress not only tactically facilitates the Legion's attack from the ground, but also greatly boosts the morale of the Imperial Legion, ending the undefeated record of the Red Alliance and its predecessor, the Fikkai. For His Majesty the Divine Emperor, the latter is even more important.

Ryomac concentrates to make sure that the battlefield footage sent to them by each ship is not missed.

His Majesty the Divine Emperor wanted not only victory, but an effective method of warfare against the Red Alliance fighters. His Majesty still holds the main fleet in his hands, and the experience of his own detachment will be an important reference for the main fleet to rush into the Divine Fall Plateau and wipe out the Red Union stronghold in one fell swoop.

At this time, Ruimac did not have a trace of distractions in his mind, his friendship with Li Qi and Fei Gong, and his good impression of the Crimson Faith were all left behind.

He is a knight of Theresia and a warlord of the Empire. He only fights for His Majesty the God Emperor, and only exists for war.
