In the sky above Beta, the Wyvern storm surrounding the office building of the Unification Zone suddenly collapsed, and the Wyverns climbed high in the air, then turned around and flew away without hesitation.

"Did you win?"

Vicky asked, panting, standing on her staff. Although there is Aurora, a super human flesh Buff machine, her strength is unprecedentedly abundant, and the spell effect is much stronger, but she can directly cast human flesh spells without the help of magic weapons, and the cost of dps is quite terrifying.

"I'm done, right?"

Finney's body shrank, becoming one meter three, and she sat on the ground with her buttocks. With Vicky's output, she held up the shield with all her might, but she was so tired that she choked.

To be honest, with her legendary-level shield, the Rust Wyvern's spike attack, which was not even as good as a third-level wind arrow, couldn't shake half a point at all, and she didn't need to be so hard, but for the Pain Witch who was still haunted by her height, she was far from the weight-lifting mentality that a legend should have.

"How can this be said to be a win......"

Aurora scanned the surroundings and saw only a large area of ruins and a ruined Beta, and she let out a reluctant and helpless sigh.

"Isn't it, that's going to win?"

To the north of Beta City, watching the flying dragon drop the fighter plane and climb and turn around, no matter what formation he is, he flew away on his own, and Li Qi also had the same doubts.

The battle lasted for a short time, less than an hour.

In terms of process, the battle is full enough.

Six or seven hundred wyverns fell from the fields north of Beta City, and the nascent Fei Gong Air Force did not suffer zero casualties.

The crew that was saved by Catherine at the beginning was considered lucky, and the subsequent dangers were beyond consideration. In total, four fighters were completely destroyed, and more than a dozen fighters were seriously damaged, some of which could land directly and be repaired by the battlefield support team, while others had to fly back to the base for repairs.

In terms of personnel, six people were killed, fifteen were seriously wounded, and the rest were more or less wounded. The blue dragon's beautiful little face was cut by spikes, and it could also be counted among the wounded.

These losses and casualties were caused by the scattered operation of the aircraft group, the battlefield environment was too complicated, the crew was not skilled in water drift and spiral tactical maneuvers, and the battlefield perception was not sufficient. Of course, the weak protection of fighters, the limited range and firepower of machine guns are also important reasons.

Richie is also keeping an eye on the air defense battle in Beta, and is dismayed to learn that the trio of Phineauura and Vicky have caused Wyverns to gather into a storm on the office building. Seeing Finney's legendary shield, Aurora's powerful support, and Vicky's crimson magic, I was a little relieved.

Seeing the severe damage caused by the Wyvern to Beta City also made him feel powerless. If the Air Force had been a little stronger, it would not have been so passively beaten.

In the air battle and the air defense battle, more than half of the more than 2,000 flying dragons in this wave were defeated, and it was a huge victory in any case. It was only natural for the enemy to retreat, but Li Qi did not feel relieved.

The real target didn't appear, neither the Iron Dragon nor the Float Ship saw a shadow, let alone the legendary halfling warlock.

Linde called, "Captain, are we in pursuit?"

For the purpose of testing this guy, Li Qi asked rhetorically, "What do you think?"

"There's no need, and it doesn't make much sense to fight more dragons in this war," Linde said, adding that "the real target hasn't been shown yet." ”

It seems that it will not be long before the entire brigade can be handed over to Linde.

Li Qi thought with relief, Ellie's ideal is to gallop in the sky, but she doesn't care about people's minds. In the future, she will be the overlord of the sky, and someone will have to take care of the team for her.

Just as he was about to praise Linde, the guy said in his usual cold tone: "Moreover, everyone doesn't have many bullets, and they don't have much strength. ”

Richie coughed, well, that's the real reason.

The bullet was secondary, and even Halligos would collapse in his seat gasping for air. You know, he's already drunk two cans of Red Bull...... No, the crimson holy water, the situation of the other machine gunners can be imagined.

After all, it was the first battle, and it was not easy to hit the target in the air, and the Rusty Wyvern could not be solved with a few bullets, so the machine gunners were completely open to fight, pulling out a continuous trajectory in the air to trap the target. Each machine gunner is a twin or even triple machine gun, and even at the hero level, the power consumed by tens of thousands of rounds of ammunition cannot be carried out.

Aside from Ellie, she had little to consume.

Li Qi gave the order: "All squadrons, return to the base to prepare and prepare for another battle." ”

There are still hundreds of Wyverns on the northern front, and after they have ravaged the defense line without distinguishing between the enemy and us, they will rise into the air and hover for standby. Combined with the retreating Wyverns, they were still able to muster a huge scale of close to two thousand, and it was hard to say that the halfling warlock would not let this force attack again.

If Fei had a decent floating ship, he wouldn't be so embarrassed.

If you put the floating ship into the sky, it will be a sky fortress, and the attack power of the rusty wyvern will not be able to gnaw at the floating ship at all. Relying on the huge body of the floating ship, which can deploy dense firepower, this army of flying dragons does not want to easily rush into the protective barrier of Beta City.

Speaking of which, the fighter is not powerful enough......

Li Qi had a lot of thoughts, and there were so many lessons learned from this battle.

The protection of fighters must be strengthened, not only the protection of personnel, but also the propeller has become the heel of Achilles, and it is the king to enter the jet age as soon as possible.

The firepower of the fighter must also be strengthened, if it is equipped with a longer range and a few rounds to solve the dragon's light magic cannon, then the fighter can easily fly the dragon kite from a safe distance, instead of the current situation, which must be close to a dangerous distance to have a firing window.

There were still problems with the maneuvering of the fighters, and the jet attitude adjustment was the ideal direction, and now this spiral and water drift maneuver seriously weakened the speed advantage of the fighters.

The fighters regrouped and headed to the northeast, targeting the cactus base.

The ground is still a mess, and the ground forces are still cleaning up the wyverns who still have a breath. Dead rusty dragons are of little value, and the blood is poisonous and polluting the environment, so it must be disposed of as soon as possible. However, some high-level cores may have nuclei, which are more suitable than undead nuclei.

The blue dragon Haligos regained some strength and began to nag about how many wyverns he had shot, and Li Qi was wondering if he should equip the fighter with a tool similar to a camera gun to confirm the results of the battle, Tina's urgent call sounded in the earphones: "There is a group of wyverns from the northeast and flying towards the cactus base! The speed is much faster than that of ordinary wyverns! Only twenty or thirty kilometers away!"

Yo, I went to steal the house!?

Li Qi took a cool breath, this halfling warlock, his brain is quite bright. Seeing that his fighters were the key to hindering his next move, he wanted to take out the aviation base.

What does this mean?

It means that the guy is going to launch a more fierce offensive next!

The real battle is coming......

The previous idea has become a reality, indicating that his strategy is right.

However, the other party's reaction speed was too fast, which also made the situation not good. The Wyvern will arrive before his side, and although the base is equipped with a certain amount of anti-aircraft firepower, it is obviously not comparable to Beta City, and there is no strong player like Fini Orora Vicky.

It seems that there is only a change of home......

Li Qi ordered: "Linde, you are responsible for directing all the fighters to land and prepare, concentrate the bullets, fuel and manpower on the fighters in good condition, and then return to the base for defense." ”

There is also a support team from the base on the ground, just enough to make some additions, and Linde asked, "Captain, where are you?"

"The enemy has shown his mark," said Richie, "and I happened to go down the vine to find that fellow." ”

Just now Tina was reported on the command channel, and Linde also heard it, and he sighed: "We can't catch up, and the base will suffer heavy losses." ”

That can't be helped, we can't be led by the nose by the enemy, the best defense is to attack.

Li Qi is checking the condition of the fighter plane, confirming that there are still some bullets, and there is still half of the fuel, and the most important thing is that Elle and herself have no consumption, so they can let go.

At this time, Linde said again: "Captain, we still have the fourth squadron, let them take off to meet the attack." ”

"Those rookies plus those messy spare machines?"

Li Qi said directly: "I still expect them to live longer and grow up well, this is not a situation they can handle." I'll order them to evacuate right away. ”

"Our base has gathered so many spare parts and fuel, and if it is going to be destroyed, the whole brigade will have to be shut down for several days, and it is a little bit to be able to grab it", Linde argued, "They are all ready to fight, and it is their duty to defend the sky." ”

"This ......"

Li Qi also hesitated for a while, and at this time, the sirens had sounded in the base channel, and the so-called "Fourth Squadron" had also turned on the call channel, and the pilots he called "rookies" were shouting and preparing for liftoff for battle.

"Speed up the preparation on your side", Li Qi didn't have time to weigh it, Linde was right, since he was already a soldier in the trenches, no matter whether the marksmanship was accurate or not, it was also strength to shoot one more shot at the enemy's position.

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

In the cactus base, outside the three underground hangars distributed in the shape of plum blossoms, in the edge area of the protective enchantment, fighter planes are being pulled out of the simple above-ground hangars.

The official composition of the 1st Group of the 1st Air Force consisted of only three squadrons, and these fighters were the so-called "4th Squadron", that is, training units.

Hassan stood in front of a fighter plane that had not yet been numbered, looked at the fighter whose body looked like a fighter made up of several patches, and looked at the more bells and whistles next to it, and sighed deeply: "Is it really okay?"

Jenir was more confident than him: "I have fifteen hours of flying experience, and I have practiced water drifting and spiral maneuvering more than ten times." As for this airship...... Oh, the plane, don't worry about the shell, even if the shell is all scattered and you can fly. ”

He patted Hassan on the shoulder: "Speaking of which, I'm more worried about you, you are so accurate in shooting on the ground, and it will not shine in the sky, don't hold me back!"

Jennier turned his head to look around again: "What about the machine gunner? That guy looked reluctant when he came, the first time he went to the sky, did he run away?"

The sirens were even more poignant, and they didn't care about looking for the machine gunner, so the two hurriedly followed the ground crew to refuel and reload and check the fighter.

The magic furnaces of twenty or thirty warplanes began to hum, and from the air, they looked like a patch of mottled fish.

That's right, the nickname of the 4th Squadron is "Miscellaneous Fish Squadron", not only because the pilots and machine gunners are poorly trained rookies, but their fighters are also "complex", except for the magic furnace floating furnace and the magic steel keel, all other components are "socialized production".

Even if he obtained magic steel from Zolde before, he also diverted some manpower from the Aircraft Research Institute to focus on manufacturing. But to build a sufficient number of fighters in just a few days, and to leave enough training time for the crew, it is not enough to rely on the workshop alone, after all, there are many parts. The automatic puppet production line and even Evan Titu couldn't help, and it took a lot of time to adjust the production line and teach Evan Titu.

Fortunately, Li Qi promoted the research institute to join hands with the Magic Working Committee of the Technical Development Commission in the new Chinese New Year's Eve to add the production of fighter parts to the task release system and mobilize social forces to produce.

The effect of this measure is very significant, and the aircraft workshop is only responsible for keel manufacturing and component assembly, so that dozens of fighters can be built in a day or two, and the crew can earn two or three days of training time.

However, due to various reasons, such as the lack of detailed technical information in the research institute, or the relaxation of the selection of materials due to the lack of specific materials, and the understanding of the people receiving the task or the unnecessary self-exertion, the parts received by the workshop are also varied and strange.

The fighters used by the three official squadrons were selected to meet the most standard and have a high degree of consistency, and the deviation of the components was evident in the fourth squadron for training and replenishment.

For example, for the hull, for weight and ease of processing, the standard material is ironwood removed from the Storm Islands floating ships. Considering that the material is not available in the civilian population (the three forts cost a lot of storm ironwood in the first three forts), the institute has broadened the scope of materials to all types of ironwood, and even allows the use of all available materials as long as the weight, toughness, and strength indicators are ensured.

As a result, the fuselage of the fighters of the fourth squadron not only has materials such as plateau ironwood, plain ironwood and even agarwood wood, but also animal bones, chitin armor and even slime rubber. Because it didn't have time to paint, the fighter looked like a trash fish assembled with countless patches.

The same is true for the shell, but also for components such as propellers, magic bearings, reduction gears, rudders, canards, canopies and joysticks. This also makes each fighter different in weight, performance, and maneuverability, making it difficult to group and fight.

Although there are so many problems, after all, it is a fighter that can fly and fight, and it is enough to train the crew. With this mentality, the workshop assembled nearly thirty miscellaneous fish machines, plus the crews that were brushed down during training and could not be incorporated into the official squadron, and put together a fourth squadron.

Since the main purpose is training, the armament of these fighters is also a patchwork. Most of the nose turrets only have twin machine guns, the rear seat only has a single machine gun, and there are several automatic magic guns that can be put together.

Now that the enemy is present, the main force is still halfway, the flying dragon is coming, and the fourth squadron ushered in their first battle in the chaotic preparation.

Everyone was so busy that no one noticed a few short figures haunting the planes.

"It's still empty, let's go!"

A little boy with brown hair in his early teens said.

"Daniel, is it really okay?"

He was followed by a man, two women and two children, and the blonde girl, the tallest of the four, said timidly: "This is an adult's business, we are making trouble, right?"

"Of course Jack and Jerry can't, but you and I can," Daniel said, "I asked the pilots the other day and knew the basics. Yesterday I snuck into the hangar of the 4th Squadron and tried to get a fighter plane to float, as for you, Sanina. ”

He turned and shook the little girl's hand, "You can already use magic, haven't you? You didn't forget to bring your own trigger grip, and then shoot? It's as easy as swinging your staff at the target and shooting spells." ”

"Jack and Jerry, don't follow", he waved his hand: "Sanina and I will do, let's sneak this fighter away, and then beat the enemy to the ground, and wait for all the adults to fall to the ground." ”

"Yes, I can't dishonor my sister", Sanina clenched her fists, and her eyes lit up with enthusiasm.

"Get ready ......"

Daniel looked at the two who were still muttering something next to him, didn't get on the fighter, didn't notice their crew, and whispered, "Amuro is about to attack." ”

"Up!"

Seizing the opportunity, the two climbed onto the pontoons and climbed into the cockpit from the other side of the fighter, and a rough voice shouted coldly, making them stunned.

"What are you doing!?Where's the little brat, this isn't a playground!"

The big hand took the two of them down, this is a sturdy middle-aged man with a scumbag beard.

The two people next to them heard the movement and walked around, and shouted at the same time, "! Where have you gone!?"

rubbed his stomach and said, "I'm going to have diarrhea......"

He said embarrassedly: "Every time I go to heaven, I don't blame me. ”

Daniel took the opportunity to shout: "If you are not in good health, let me go up, I can fly a fighter and be a machine gunner!"

"Go aside!"

threw the two children away and said disdainfully, "The adults are not dead yet, and it is not time for you little children to jump." ”

"Don't look down on children!"

Sanina couldn't help but exclaim: "There are so many stories where children are the best!"

"Yes, children in all stories are immortal, of course it's amazing", Dekker waved his hand, "Let's wait until you learn to distinguish between story and reality." ”

The ground crew also came over and drove Daniel and Sanina away.

The two of them were both aggrieved and unwilling to watch the three of them get on the fighter, and the fuselage made up of a large number of patches slowly rose into the air, at this time Dekker in the back seat poked his head out and said: "Amuro has a father who can design trolls, do you have one?"

Sanina craned her neck and said, "He heard ......"

"At such an old age, you still look at the Troll Warriors", Daniel said disdainfully, then looked at Sanina, and shouted: "I don't, but Sanina does, her father is the Chief Cardinal!

Dick had already closed the hatch and didn't hear it, but the sparkle in Sanina's eyes was even more intense: "Salmon, is it really designed by the cardinal?

"Amuro, that sounds great," Daniel muttered, as a few ground crews rushed over and hugged them and ran to the dugout.

A sparkling wave lit up high in the sky, and the enemy's wyvern arrived!
