Chapter 431: Momentum!
At this time, there were a total of five large sky cities and two medium-sized sky cities in the sky above Tulip City, for a total of seven sky cities!
There is no doubt that this upcoming big battle will be the first major battle to be fought in the war zone since the war between the Sky Alliance and Kafka's empire!
Prior to this, although the Imperial Army had thwarted the Alliance Army once, it was a sneak attack, and the scale of the battle was also ordinary, but this time it was different, this time both the Alliance Army and the Imperial Army were fully prepared and planned to fight properly.
The head-to-head confrontation between the two top forces made this battle extraordinary, and the atmosphere of the entire battlefield became extremely solemn, and this solemnity seemed to affect even the sky, and when all the sky cities on both sides appeared, the sky became gloomy, and the entire airspace became cloudy.
And it was in this oppressive atmosphere that the troops of both sides flew out of Sky City!
First of all, there is the Union Army.
This time the battle was personally commanded by Wilton, so after arriving at the combat airspace, his flagship slowly flew away from the airport, and along with the departure of the airport, there were also 3,000 warships in the three sky cities!
Under the command of the commanders of each fleet, the three thousand warships took off from the air port of the Sky City where they were located in an orderly manner, and then gradually flew away from the defense network and set up a formation in front of the three Sky Cities lined up in a row!
The 3,000 warships formed three phalanxes in front of Sky City, with Wilton in the center and the other two phalanxes on either side.
These three phalanxes are not randomly formed, the configuration of the warships in each phalanx is very distinct, taking Wilton's phalanx as an example, the entire phalanx is mainly composed of hundreds of battleships, with a small number of frigates, which is obviously the main force; in the two phalanxes on the left and right, one of the phalanxes is dominated by hundreds of cruisers, and the other is dominated by destroyers, and it can be seen from this configuration that Wilton must have divided the army into these three phalanxes for a reason, and each phalanx obviously has its own role in the war.
At the same time, in the distant sky, the Imperial Army, which was on standby, also sent troops!
Because the distance is too far, and Rocky is only a member of the Sky Demon Warrior now, no one has prepared a telescope for him, so he can't see the specific configuration of the Imperial Army clearly, but just looking at it from a distance, at least he can see that the opponent's strength is definitely not less than his own side.
Far away in the sky, the troops of the Imperial Army slowly flew out from the Sky City where they were located, and soon formed four phalanxes, although the size of each phalanx seemed to be slightly smaller than that of the Alliance Army, but the troops of the four phalanxes together were definitely no less than the Alliance Army in terms of numbers.
And at this time, after the three phalanxes were all ready, Wilton, who was sitting on the flagship, gave an order, and the three phalanxes with a total of 3,000 warships started at the same time, flying towards the distant imperial army, and when the troops moved, Kungang City and other three sky cities also turned on the flight mode again, slowly following behind the troops, like three huge tails.
Despite the large number of warships forming the three phalanxes, when the action began, the speed of the warships was completely consistent, so the formation was maintained very well, and there was no scattering from beginning to end.
It didn't take long for the three phalanxes to approach the Imperial Army, and when the two sides were close enough to see each other clearly, the Imperial Army reacted.
First of all, the Imperial Army has adjusted its formation!
In the face of thousands of warships pressed by the soldiers, the formation of the imperial army soon changed, and among the four phalanxes that were originally lined up, one phalanx suddenly began to march and rushed towards the alliance army, and when this phalanx rushed towards the alliance army, among the remaining three phalanxes, two more phalanxes flew out, keeping up with the army in front with a wing array, and the formation of the three phalanxes in a positive triangle began to approach the alliance army!
Obviously, as the alliance army approached, the imperial army, which was originally the defending side, took the initiative to attack!
"Your Excellency, it's the Empire's...... Heavy Armor ......"
When the Imperial Army took the initiative to attack the Alliance Army, Wilton immediately had an adjutant report to him, and when the two sides began to approach, the Alliance had already seen the troops dispatched by the Empire!
But judging by the look on the adjutant's face, the situation did not seem to be very good.
Indeed, the situation is really not good!
As I said just now, in the face of the menacing alliance army, the empire directly dispatched three phalanxes, one phalanx is the vanguard, and the other two phalanxes are two wings, among which the phalanx acting as the vanguard is the imperial heavy armor ship force!
The so-called Imperial Heavy Armor is a kind of large warship unique to Kafka's empire, this kind of battleship belongs to the class of battleships, but it is different from ordinary battleships in the world, and its most difference is that this kind of battleship not only has the firepower of ordinary battleships, but also has extraordinary heavy armor and a terrifying defense network.
This kind of extremely strong defense heavy armor ship, the size is one-third larger than the average battleship, the whole body is covered with heavy and special armor, even if there is no defense net protection, this special armor can easily resist the attack of the magic cannon, the attack of the ordinary magic cannon on this armor is like tickling, even if the main gun bombards it, it may not be able to penetrate!
Not only that, the heavy armor ship also has a defensive network that is far stronger than the armor, once this kind of battleship opens the defensive net, even if it is attacked by dozens of main guns head-on, the defense network can be as strong as ever!
This is the Imperial Heavy Armor, an unsinkable steel behemoth!
Now, the vanguard phalanx sent by the Empire is composed of this steel behemoth!
The full 400 heavy armored ships lined up in two rows in the air, like a moving copper wall, slowly towards the second alliance army, obviously, the imperial army intends to use the super defense of the heavy armored ships to attract firepower and tear apart the alliance formation, and then let the two phalanxes that follow behind them follow, and thwart the chaotic alliance army in one fell swoop.
When Wilton learns that it is the Imperial heavy armor that is rushing over, he also understands the enemy's thoughts.
Truth be told, it's not a clever tactic, but it's extremely useful.
Because in the face of the famous Imperial Heavy Armor Ships, even the Alliance Army does not dare to guarantee that it can block the other party, but once it can't stop the charge of the Heavy Armored Ships, then the Alliance's formation will inevitably be messed up, and then it will face the attack of the enemy's other two phalanxes, and at the same time, don't forget that the Imperial Heavy Armored Ships themselves are battleships, and their own attack power is also extremely strong, so once they are broken up by the formation, the Alliance Army will inevitably suffer heavy losses, and this battle may be over!
