After entering the heart of the plains, the time of day on the floating island of Eleanor gradually became more and more homogeneous, and most people only knew that they were moving, but they did not know where they were going.

Only the high-ranking officials at the command post knew that they were narrowing the distance to the target little by little, and the curve of the track marked on the map clearly showed this, and every twelve hours, the floating island would adjust its direction to the east, and according to the information sent back by the expedition, their course would intersect with the path of the new god of creation in a maximum of eighteen days.

But the calm didn't last that day.

Fourteen days after the official departure, the same days were broken.

The first to discover the enemy was an old Skyfire, which belonged to the Air Cavalry Reconnaissance Detachment and was one of the few aircraft that retained its two-seater. The rear seat is no longer equipped with a machine gun position, but has been replaced with a spark telegraph and radio station, which can be regarded as a special modification for full-time reconnaissance.

"One hundred and fifty kilometers away, a dinosaur is approaching us!"

In accordance with the charter, the crew first photographed the message by telegraph, and then repeated it over a walkie-talkie, the former to inform the floating island, and the latter to warn its companions in the nearby airspace.

Due to the excellent electromagnetic environment, the receiver quickly received the message and translated it.

When he took the note to relay the news, the atmosphere in the staff room froze, and then it boiled instantly.

"Quickly determine the identity and location of the crew!"

"Sound the warning and let the engineering team withdraw!"

"Hey, this is the General Staff, please get ready for battle immediately!"

"Ground staff reported that the No. 5 and No. 11 lifts were faulty and were being repaired. ”

"At this time, let them hurry!"

Roland, who received the notice, also rushed to the command post as soon as possible, "What is the situation now?"

"The enemy is still more than two hours away from us. "To the northeast, there are more than thirty of them, and the reconnaissance planes have escaped the pursuit, but they don't seem to have changed their original route." ”

"You mean, the devil has discovered the existence of floating islands?" Iron Axe asked.

"Probably not yet, or they wouldn't have sent just a few people. But the devil must have sensed something, and the route was so clear. ”

"It's not surprising. Roland calmly replied, no matter how small the floating island was, it was still a floating mountain. It is almost impossible for a target of this size to completely hide himself, just as the lightning discovered the god of creation, as long as the distance between the two is constantly getting closer, the enemy will notice this uninvited guest sooner or later. "Sylvie's Magic Eye is more focused on the sky, and it's normal for a Devil Squad to happen to bump into us on the ground. ”

Northland Pearl nodded, "Their main purpose is to verify intelligence, and with this number of dinosaurs, the Sky Knight should be able to annihilate them all." ”

"Whether it's all wiped out or a few released, it won't affect the result. Roland had realized that it was impossible to avoid the dinosaurs at the speed of the Eleanor's floating islands, and in a sense, the exposure of the floating islands was a foregone conclusion. "The key is how to minimize the cost. ”

The size of the Sky Knight has been steadily increasing, and since the Battle of the Desperate Mountains, the total number of the first generation of Heavenly Fire and the second generation of Heavenly Fury has exceeded two hundred, which is almost the number of two wings. But the problem is that the enemy is pouring out of the nest, and both troops and logistics are no longer constrained, and even if the exchange ratio is good, the aircraft will inevitably suffer.

Roland didn't expect his side to achieve air suppression in the decisive battle, he only hoped to cover the bombers to successfully complete the bombing, which undoubtedly required the investment of all aircraft, if the air knight suffered a lot of losses in the early stage, the whole plan would be dragged down later.

"You mean, plan B to meet you?" Tilly said with an eyebrow.

"That's right, by the way, you can also test the results of witches. Roland no longer hesitated, "Let your men enter the basement." ”

......

Two hours later, the enemy discovered the traces of the floating island.

As Edith had said, they had indeed come to scout, but to everyone's surprise, the dinosaur had stopped forty or fifty kilometers away. The leader looked at it from a distance for a moment with a mirror-like instrument, and then turned around and went back directly, without any intention of coming over to test it.

"It seems that the devil has learned a lot from the mask. The Northland Pearl curled the corners of her mouth, "Now they finally know how to fear their opponents." ”

"The enemy will never surrender. Iron Axe stared at the sky and said, "The next few days should not be as calm as before." ”

"Of course," Edith's voice was as cold as northern ice, "and this is a good opportunity to weaken them!"

......

That afternoon, the first wave of the Devil's attack appeared on the skyline.

They don't even look like they want to wait a day.

Of course, more than an hour earlier, the army had been ready for engagement. All the gates of the external passage have been closed, the biplanes of the non-reconnaissance detachment have been lowered to the underground hangar, the entire surface of the floating island has been empty, and even the portholes of the converted bridge on the top of the hill on the northern slope have been sealed. At this moment, Eleanor's floating island is almost as dense as a huge rocky mountain.

The higher-ups gathered directly in the command post to observe the outside world through the projection of the curtain created by the magic core.

There were more than 200 dinosaurs in this wave, and when they rushed towards the floating island in a horizontal line, even the sky seemed to be a little darker.

"Tsk, that's a lot......" Tilly said with a frown.

Roland nodded, "This is probably just the vanguard army. "No matter what, the troops following the Devil King City are already the full strength of the Blackstone Domain, since the mad demons are expected to be as many as tens of millions, then the dinosaurs will not be too few.

I am afraid that this is the last quiet of their trip.

That's enough, but what can they do with a mountain? Suddenly, a voice was inserted into everyone's minds, and there was a slight laziness in the gentle tone, so that people would not forget it after hearing it.

The speaker was none other than Eleanor.

Roland laughed.

This is the most impeccable aspect of this tactic, and it is true that there are not many ways for humans to deal with a god-made god, but the same is true of the devil in turn.

"I'll call you next. ”

Don't worry, this is revenge for the first time in more than 400 years. Eleanor replied.

In her field of vision, an invisible net was slowly spreading, and the dinosaurs moving on this net all turned into strings of numbers.

Math is really interesting stuff......

She infused her magic into her tentacles and spread it across the floating islands, where nearly a hundred activated miniature cores glowed blue and the mechanisms connected to them came into action.

One by one, the machine gun towers scattered along the edge of the islands turned in the direction of the enemy's attack, and the barrels of their guns protruded from the firing holes to the sky.

The moment the dinosaur entered the firing range, countless streams of light burst out, turning the invisible web into a shining curtain of light visible to the naked eye!
