Chapter 128: On the way to retreat
Boom Boom Boom –
The roar of fire magic continued.
Vega couldn't remember how many rounds of magic bombardment this was, the only thing he knew was that his subordinates were getting smaller and smaller, from the original 120 team members to less than 80 team members now, including several wounded.
Time is running out for him.
Because Vega has seen that this terrible bombardment is likely to continue until dawn.
As long as the number of magicians is sufficient, it is not difficult to take a shift situation and release this kind of magic that does not consume much mental power and magic power, and it is not difficult to last for seven or eight hours at all.
Especially in the case of air supremacy.
Mages only need to unleash their magic on the ground with all their hearts, and they don't have to worry about the threat from the enemy's anti-air forces, which can greatly speed up their spell casting, as well as the recovery of mental and mana power.
The clock is ticking.
At the current rate, as long as it takes another half an hour, it will be completely away from the key bombing area of the Royal Army.
But at this moment, his face changed suddenly.
Because he found that he didn't know when, a war airship had been hovering 1,000 meters above their heads, and was descending in altitude, and when it reached 400 meters, Vega could vaguely feel the elemental fluctuations coming from above.
Not good!
Vega's heart was shocked, and he immediately gave the order to conceal it, and at the same time unfurled the mage's shield.
Woooo
More than a dozen firebursts fell into the air.
The scorching flames not only illuminated the darkness, but also seemed to burn the air clean.
Tremble in the balance.
Vega immediately lay down behind the cover, and the maximum amount of mental and magical power was exported to the mage's shield.
Boom –
The earth-shattering explosion caused Vega's ears to ring.
Flying stones, exploding waves, and collapsing buildings made his mage's shield flicker and dark, but luckily Vega survived the magical bombardment.
But that's just the beginning.
The first round of magic bombardment has just ended, and the second round is rapidly unfolding.
Vega didn't dare to get up at all, and he could only crawl on the ground like a mouse, because one of the professional team members was ready to flee out of fear, and he was greeted by a fireburst.
Hardships.
It is now far away from the key bombing area of the Kingdom Army.
But Vega didn't expect that he would be discovered by the enemy at the last step, and if he was bombarded like this, even if he had some mage shield defense, he would not be able to escape a dead word.
What should I do now?
He couldn't do anything but pray.
Even the slightest movement could be noticed by the magicians on the airship.
Because when the fire mage is carrying out magic bombing, there is usually a wind mage next to him, who uses the terrifying detection ability of the wind mage to provide the accurate coordinates of the bombing target at high altitude, and also plays the role of protecting the fire mage, which is the regular combat method of mages in various countries.
After several rounds of bombardment, the war airship began to lose altitude.
Vega clenched the short knife in his hand, he knew that it would be too late if he didn't run, because the airship had descended to a certain height, and the wind mages above could easily detect the precise coordinates of the lifeforms below.
300 m ......
250 m ......
150 meters!
When the height dropped to 150 meters, Vega did not hesitate to stand up and shouted: "Retreat, one can walk." ”
After shouting these words, Vega turned and fled.
The remaining members of the less than 40 professional brigades also stood up for the first time, and fled forward with Vega, as long as they stayed away from the core control area of the crystal hub, the density of magic bombing would inevitably decrease, and the bomb shelter was not far away.
But that's just the time.
Vega has been targeted by a war airship.
The magical elements above are gathering.
Vega's heart is not only unwilling but also unwilling.
Came here with great difficulty, and he was about to survive, why was there a war airship in such a place, but he didn't even have the ability to resist, he could only be beaten passively.
Boom –
Another loud roar came.
Just when Vega thought that his fate was at this point, he was shocked to find that the roar was not coming from the ground, but from high in the sky, and the tail of the war airship was already burning with flames.
What's going on?
Vega looked at it and suddenly found that in the distance, a mage with a red eagle coat tattoo on the back of his cloak rose into the air, flying towards the airship as a moth to a flame, his staff shone like a meteor, and for a while the wind blade danced, and the war airship was already crumbling.
"Retreat, keep up!"
Vega was not stunned, he immediately yelled at the rest of his subordinates.
In the process of escaping, Vega glanced back.
He found that the war airship was crumbling, but it was constantly rising into the air, and by the time the airship pulled back to an altitude of 400 meters, the wind mage's attacks were already ineffective, but the firebursts falling from above could damage him.
Boom –
With the last roar.
That Feng Fa, who was at least a low-level mage, had died.
Because they are in the air without cover, even the lower mages will not be able to survive the enemy's concentrated fire.
Although the subordinate mage died, Vega took this opportunity to escape from the pursuit range of the war airship, and the war airship seemed to be afraid of being attacked by air forces again, and did not descend to a height below 300 meters.
Finally......
Got out?
Vega stared blankly at the sky.
Although there are occasionally a few war airships above that carry out magic bombardment, the density of the bombardment is negligible compared to the vicinity of the core control area of the Crystal Hub.
Now is not the time to rejoice.
While the threat is negligible, it is not impossible.
He immediately gave the order to the remaining less than 40 team members, and headed for the largest bomb shelter nearby, the current situation was no longer something that their professional brigade could handle, and it was good to be able to survive.
Without the carpet magic bombardment, the whole team marched quite fast, and in less than half an hour they arrived at bomb shelter 18 in the central area of Kareni.
From a distance, you can see that the bomb shelter is already crowded.
Apparently many civilians came here as soon as the air raid sirens sounded.
But when Vega approached the bomb shelter with his troops, he noticed that something was wrong.
"Stop. ”
Vega raised her right hand and made a stop gesture.
Through the faint lights.
Vega looked closely, and saw that the entrance to the bomb shelter appeared to be guarded by armed soldiers.
There's nothing wrong with that.
However, this soldier's uniform is not the style of the Imperial Army, but a bit like that of the Kingdom Army.
