The air force in human history has ridden griffons to fight, but the breeding technology of this flying monster was lost in the holy war, and the virus cast by the evil god was raging, so that all the races of the griffin lineage were extinct, so the griffin air cavalry, which had soared in the blue sky and left a brilliant mark in the history of war, began to withdraw from the human war stage.

Those wise kings and military men were well aware of the importance of the air force and wanted to rebuild it, but they could never find a flying monster that could be domesticated as a replacement for the griffin, so in this countless failures, no one was willing to spend energy and money to domesticate the air cavalry, but began to climb other technology trees.

The talent and technology reserves of the Nine Empires are terrifying, and with the ancient technology excavated from the ruins, and after unremitting efforts and astronomical sums of money, they have finally created floating warships that allow humans to fly in the sky again.

The top of the second-rate countries, such as the Xueman Empire and the Rhine Empire, have strong comprehensive national strength and may independently manufacture warships, but the nine empires will never allow this kind of thing to happen, and they have signed an agreement called the "Battleship Ban Document" on the grounds of polluting the environment, and all countries that try to develop warships will be subject to economic sanctions and military blows.

In order to maintain their status and deterrence, the second-rate countries can only buy warships from the nine empires under the pretext of 'tourism' or convenient travel.

This kind of strategic warship naturally belongs to the scope of prohibited weapons, not only is the price extremely expensive, even if it is bought, it is a castrated version, and the weapon system is all lifted. Nothing but carrying a crew.

Some countries have not given up and are secretly studying the structure of these warships, but the technical barriers set up by the nine empires are so easy to break.

For these reasons, the battleship is like a needle in the hearts of the soldiers. Once you appear on the battlefield, it will inevitably boost your morale.

"Damn it, where the hell did you get that steam airship?"

The commander of 10,000 men almost grabbed the whip out of the water, and did not give the order to retreat, because he still had the luxury of hope, the battleship was only to frighten people, and the reserve of terrible bombs had been used up.

Unfortunately, it backfired, and with an elongated shrill sound, the 10,000-strong commander saw a black object fall from the bottom of the airship. In an instant, it fell into the midst of the soldiers, and then with a 'boom', a huge fireball rose up.

In the skyrocketing firelight, many people saw the soldiers around the bomb being blown away by the powerful shock wave, disintegrating in the air, and stumps and severed arms fell everywhere.

"Go and inform the commander, I need flying monster support!"

The commander yelled at the herald, as an experienced general. He knew that his army was finished.

The shield and spearmen phalanx were still standing in place. I don't know if they were stupid, or because of the strict military law, they didn't dare to run away, but they were so stunned to watch a steam airship fly overhead and drop the bomb.

Boom! Boom!

The airship flew past these two thousand-man teams, because it was a dense formation. The damage caused by the three dropped bombs was simply perfect.

As if the anthill had collapsed, the soldiers had completely dispersed, screaming and fleeing with a look of horror on their faces.

"Get out of the way, dodge to the sides, don't rush this way. Quick, Guards, stop them!"

The commander of 10,000 people still has a sense of reason, knowing that if these routs rush all the way down the avenue, the entire legion will be affected.

It's a pity that the sound of bombs, shouts, and fighting has completely drowned out his roar.

"Sir, let's withdraw first, I can't stand it!"

The staff officer grabbed the reins of the 10,000-man commander and forcibly took him away without waiting for his consent.

It was indeed unbearable, and the barbarian legions slaughtered through the jungle, like wolves chasing prey, advancing along the road with impunity, slashing and slashing any enemy they could see.

"Run into the woodlands on both sides!"

Someone shouted, and the soldiers who were panicked heard this, as if they had found a life-saving straw, and subconsciously rushed into the woodland on the side of the road, but there were many more that they did not hear, and ran along the road.

"What does the Duke mean by telling us to shout these words, and why do you remind the enemies of the direction of their flight?"

"That's right, how can you kill if you run into the woodland? If you become a bandit and a bandit, it will be very troublesome to exterminate it in the future!"

Instead of taking on multiple attack missions, the human legions in the West were responsible for spreading out, blending into the crowd and shouting the words of the duke.

"What do you want to do so much, and you can say whatever you want?"

There was a veteran who reprimanded him, although in his opinion it was the most correct choice to let the enemy flee along the main road, but no one dared to question the duke's decision.

The sun is setting, the dusk is gone, and the fight is entering the climax!

Under the background of night, the swarthy forest of the steam airship, like a monster that wants to devour, quickly advanced along the main road, and according to the order, dropped a bomb every thirty meters.

With a huge explosion, huge fires rose on the horizon, as beautiful as flame mushrooms, and as brilliant as fireworks, but with those panicked cries, they were like reapers from the abyss and hell, and each flame in the air represented the disappearance of dozens of lives.

The enemy's formation is too dense, and in the face of this kind of airdrop, it is simply the best target, and there is no suspense, and you will be sent directly to hell.

Gradually, the shouts of running towards the woodlands on both sides became louder and louder, and they had overshadowed the orders given by the commander.

"The shape shì is very good!"

Floating aboard the Ancient Spear, Homer looked at the war on the ground and complimented.

The time of the general attack chosen by Downton is too perfect, when night falls, sound, light, and shadow, the momentum of the bombing can be rendered to the extreme, and because of the night, the communication is not smooth, and the commander wants to make a temporary response, which is extremely difficult.

No matter how loud the voice of the herald is, it can't overpower the roar of the soldiers, and ordinary soldiers can't get orders, so in this kind of chaos, they naturally choose a safe direction to retreat as much as possible, and shout loudly to remind more comrades and help them survive.

"What's going on behind the scenes? The Westfrontier Army is launching a massive raid?"

Commander Kevin tugged at the reins of his horse, calming the restless horse under his crotch.

The staff officers had solemn faces, they were experienced, and when they heard this voice, they knew that there was a big mess behind them.

"Report, commander-in-chief, the soldiers of the rear army are collapsing, spreading to this side, and have reached the position of the second corps. ”

The herald was sweating profusely, not only was there blood all over his body, but even his right arm was broken, there was no way, he ran at night in an unfamiliar area, and it was strange not to fall.

"What? go and tell Sù Lashen, you must stop those rout!"

Kevin was taken aback, now in the big night, the rout soldiers can't understand the shape, they will definitely bump into it like headless flies, and the rush of tens of thousands of people will definitely disrupt the formation.

"Can't stop it, there are too many routs, unless you start killing!"

The herald was sent by Lashen, and if he established a defense and stabilized the front, he would at least kill the thousands of defeated soldiers in the vanguard, and he would not dare to do such a thing.

"Let him do it!"

Kevin is not a famous general, but he is not a mediocre talent, gritted his teeth, and gave an order on the spot.

Boom! Boom!

At the end of the field of vision, the staff officers could already see the rising fireballs, as if they had been planted fireworks, bursting one by one.

"It's a steam airship!"

"Damn, it seems that the goal of that native duke is us, besieging the main city, but it's just a feint. ”

"Is this the power of goblin bombs?"

Some of the staff officers were not bad in military literacy, and when they saw this scene, they understood Downton's tactical intentions.

"What are you still doing in a daze? Summon, release flying demonic beasts to dispatch, and intercept those airships as much as possible!"

Kevin roared angrily, his heart was full of unwillingness, if it weren't for this powerful warship, his main army would definitely be able to block Downton's troops, how could there be a rout and riot?

"I want it so much!"

Kevin stared at the airship sprinkled with a layer of silver frost by the moonlight, his eyes were full of all kinds of envy, jealousy and hatred, this kind of flight altitude, except for flying demon pets, even the range of the mage regiment could not reach it, and he could only watch others wreak havoc and bombard his own soldiers.

"Hmph, goblin bombs are probably not something that can be made casually, Downton has only been a duke for a year, how many reserves can he have, and when he runs out, those airships will become garbage. ”

"That's right, it's just that the scene looks chaotic, even if a bomb can kill twenty people, how many can be killed by standing and letting him bomb with airdrops? Not to mention that we will still run?"

"As long as our forces are superior, the Western Frontier Army will never be able to reverse it. ”

The staff officers analyzed the situation, this is not a close battle, once one side is defeated, it will not be able to fight, and it is completely possible for one side to regroup and wait for the rout to converge.

Kevin listened to the analysis of his subordinates, nodded, after the news of the death of the Duke of the South, the command analyzed the power of the goblin bomb, and came to the conclusion that against the dense formation, it is extremely lethal, once the soldiers disperse and find the cover, it will not be effective.

Of course, it is also possible to hide under shelter such as dense forests and interfere with the airship's airdrop accuracy.

"Shelter?"

Kevin looked at the woodland on both sides of the road, suddenly stunned for a moment, followed by a big change in his face, and hurriedly ordered, "Go, show me what those trees are made of!"

"Commander, what's wrong?"

Watching the guards leave in a hurry, the staff officers were puzzled.

"A part of the routed soldiers will definitely go into the woodland, if the enemy uses fire attack tactics......"

There is no need for Kevin to continue, on the cool night of the evening breeze, the staff officers are already sweating.

"No, no, our queue is more than ten kilometers long, how fast can the enemy set fire?"

There was a staff officer who comforted himself.

"Don't forget, there are firebirds in Downton, as long as they fly by, they are a sea of fire!"

Kevin's words not only made the staff officers stupid, but the nearby guards regiments were also frightened and looked to the rear. (To be continued......)
