Chapter 237: The End
"When dropping this super bomb, the altitude must be kept at an altitude of 7,000 meters, and if possible, try to keep a higher distance...... I know you're worried about accuracy, but I'm going to say that in terms of the power of this bomb, there's no need to think about accuracy at all. ”
Before departure, one of the leading officers, Falkenridge, gave a final popular science lesson to the pilots involved in the bombing mission on the small blackboard.
"Our Windrangers will be with you throughout the Hellfire Troopers cluster, and combined with a series of intelligence, we shouldn't encounter many interceptions and will directly enter the target area...... At this time, a slight drop in altitude, perhaps under the shelling of anti-aircraft fire from the ground, keep calm and continue the mission, it is enough. ”
The officer pointed to the route and said to his subordinates: "Then quickly pull it up and return immediately - use the maximum speed you can fly, after all, no one has dropped this thing yet, and you must ensure your own safety." ”
"Understood!"
All the Falkenridge pilots standing in the command room raised their arms and gave their commander a traditional Falkenridge military salute.
Then, over the airport, which had been under martial law for four days, departure sirens began to echo, and the pilots began to board their planes, and the huge propellers, driven by phlogiston engines, began to spin rapidly. One by one, the Hellfire Troopers glided towards the runway, and then, guided by the ground command platform, rushed to the end of the runway, where they leapt into the blue sky.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we're already inside Stasi's territory, and if my navigator is not mistaken, in a few minutes, Stasi's army may find out about our movements. ”
On the bumpy plane, every pilot on the mission was extremely nervous, they were on the first combat mission to drop the atomic bomb, so instead of joking with each other as usual, everyone kept their mouths shut, lest the slightest mistake should occur.
To the left and right of the Hellfire Cavalry cluster, the pilots operating the Falkenridge Windrangers were similarly nervous after entering Stasi's airspace. They were a little higher up than the Hellfire Cavalry Cluster, mentally prepared to take on a large number of Stasie Air Forces.
However, as the minutes ticked by, it was clear that the projected images of hundreds of Stacy interceptor aircraft did not appear, and Falkenridge's air force battle group was already in the center of Stasi, with the capital city of Dean in sight.
Stasi's anti-aircraft artillery didn't begin to reverberate until then, and shells exploded underneath the Falkenridge aircraft. However, not to mention that most of the explosions were just some small-caliber shells, and even if there were large-caliber artillery, Falkenridge's battle cluster would not be substantially affected in the sky above Stasi, which had completely lost air supremacy.
Of course, all this is also thanks to the efforts of the ground forces. It was they who put too much pressure on Stasi that Archduke Jon had to order a reduction in air defense.
"Bell ringer! We've arrived at the designated position, you can start dropping bombs! You can start dropping bombs!"
Under the interference of the sporadic anti-aircraft guns of the Stasi army, Falkenridge's Hellfire Cavalry group opened its own bomb bay, and when one of the Hellfire Cavalry, codenamed "Bell Ringer", opened the bomb bay, there was only one large, round bomb - Falkenridge's "Bell 2", which was ready to be dropped.
"Are you ready?"
On the plane, the bombardier, who was a squadron leader officer, looked at the military scholar next to him who was in charge of confirming the final safety of the atomic bomb, and asked, "If you are sure that there is no problem with this nuclear bomb, I will drop it!"
"Yes!" the scholar nodded solemnly, agreeing with the bombardier's suggestion, "For His Majesty's sake, for Falkenridge!"
"For His Majesty, for Falkenridge!"
After pressing the bomb button, the bombardier also shouted this familiar slogan.
"Click!" With a clatter of metal, the atomic bomb began to drop its height, sliding towards the city of Dean below.
The Hellfire Cavalry swayed slightly twice because of the loss of its load before stabilizing its flying position. Immediately after that, it began to climb rapidly, and the driver loudly reminded his companions with a communication crystal: "Climb, climb, get out of here, get out of here!"
All of the Falkenridge flying troops began to swerve sharply after dropping the bomb, and then they flew towards the distant border, without a hint of nostalgia. The Stasi anti-aircraft artillerymen on the ground looked at each other, wondering what so many planes were flying here for.
A black dot gradually approached the ground, and it slowly descended in altitude over Dean City, and the parachute was pulled apart as the drag was pulled, and the whole bomb descended more slowly. In the echo of the air raid siren, some curious Stasi civilians looked at the strange slow-falling object and let out a buzzing comment and discussion.
Then, a light as if the world was just born, and with the rising temperature and the light that pierced everything, the nearby city streets and buildings, and the curious people who looked up at the sky, were all evaporated in an instant.
The earth boiled, and the explosion destroyed everything that tried to stop it, including hard walls, floors, trees, and anything else - in a second, a third of the heart of Dean City was nothing, and half of the rest was a barren ruin.
When Falkenridge's pilots were horrified to see the white clouds in the sky behind them change their shape due to the explosion, they realized how devastating the bomb they had just dropped. Some people kept gesturing the blessing gestures inside the Yanlong Church, while others silently recited passages from the Holy Haven of the Dawn Holy See.
Before even Stasi could react, two days later, a second atomic bomb exploded in the northern part of Stasi, completely destroying its vital source of troops, a densely populated and economically developed metropolis.
What's even more frightening is that the power of this atomic bomb is even greater than the power of the first explosion in Dean City, and for a time the entire Western Continent was shrouded in the terrifying nuclear shadow of Falkenridge.
Although the Stasi military almost immediately strengthened their air defenses and tried to pacify their own citizens, with the destruction of the central part of Dean City, the fact that McCarthy and General Carr were proven dead, and the whereabouts of Archduke Jon were lost, the ensuing all-out assault by Falkenridge's army was completely unresisted.
In less than a week, the atmosphere of the entire Stasi military has changed from the original tragedy to infinite silence, and there are a few stubborn lunatics who have been thoroughly brainwashed by Grand Duke Jon, banging on the table and shouting desperate battles.
Another five days passed, and the day before the official peace signing ceremony between the Havar Empire and the Tadoya Empire was about to take place, the news of Stasi's unconditional surrender spread throughout the Western Continent accompanied by the explosion of atomic bombs.
So, what happened to Grand Duke Jon, a time-traveler who can be called a generation of heroes?
In the wilderness north of the outskirts of Dean, several men dressed in civilian clothes fled into the wilderness, they seemed to be tired, but they still did not dare to stop. After all, they had just escaped from the destroyed city of Dean, and finally came to this relatively safe place.
When the atomic bomb fell, Grand Duke Jon predicted the unprecedented danger with his legendary super-perceptive ability, and used all his strength to protect the office and the surrounding area before the explosion - in the end, he and several of his cronies became the only survivors of the Grand Duke's palace, but at the price, Grand Duke Jon also used up all his magic and amulet treasures.
He knew that Stacy was finished, and that if he didn't want to be done with him, he would have to flee before Falkenridge's army could attack in full.
So from more than an hour ago, escape became the leitmotif of Archduke Jon and Ennusco, as well as three guards and an entourage. The poor six men ran all the way out of Dean, and only now did they have time to catch their breath. Their mouths were dry, but they couldn't find a sip of water.
You know, everyone understands that Grand Duke Jon is a strong man at the peak of the legend, and it is impossible for him to be left without bones under the explosion of the atomic bomb. It won't be long before Falkenridge discovers that the important figure of Archduke Jon is missing, and the search and pursuit will begin immediately, and by that time I am afraid that this neighborhood will become a dangerous area, and someone will soon track it down.
"Must ...... We have to find some means of transportation, and if we run like this, we will definitely be caught up by the killers. ”
At present, the most thoughtful person left is Ennusco, the captain of the guard who follows the Grand Duke Jon, and he is still calmly analyzing the situation in front of him, hoping to find a more suitable way out.
In this situation, it was not easy for them to find a place to stay, let alone the unattainable convergence of the armies that supported them. All that remains is to avoid all the Falkenridge people who are looking for them, and live in fear and care.
"We don't have much money left, and it's certainly not enough to buy bribes, and it should be fine to buy some horses or whatever. ”
Ennusco took out the money he had brought with him, and reluctantly told Archduke Jon about the current situation of this group of people.
Because they escaped in such a hurry, they did not arrange any necessary cover-ups, neither burned a few corpses, nor looted some money, they fled in such a hurry that they did not even have time to bring out the large amount of money that had been prepared before.
Thinking about the large sum of money still left in the safe next to Grand Duke Jon's desk, Ennusco felt his heart twitch. I don't know which bastard will be cheaper in the end, but it is estimated that just this harvest will be enough for this lucky guy to enjoy for a few lifetimes.
He didn't want to scatter and escape, after all, it was undoubtedly very safe for a small person like a guard to disperse at such a time. But if everyone runs away, then Grand Duke Jon will probably wait for death in such barren mountains and mountains. Therefore, the loyal Ennusco did not propose to disperse, but instead preferred to concentrate all his forces and take care of each other when the time came.
He fled north for a while, listening carefully, and there was no sound of anyone chasing after him. Looking at the direction of Dean City, Ennusco took the long sword in his hand back behind his back, handed a handkerchief to Grand Duke Jon, and then found a random place to sit on the ground: "Let's rest first! ”
"Really?"
Suddenly, a cold female voice sounded from behind them.
