Chapter 70: Volley

Today, the county of Febdach is still busy.

Although it is a natural transportation hub with two main air ducts, the traffic throughput of the county of Feibudach is not very exaggerated. After all, this is only a small town, a small river flows around the town, and the land along the river has been occupied by the docks and shipyards, and not an inch of the river beach can be seen, but the reception capacity is still insignificant compared to the traffic capacity of the two trunk-level air ducts.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Qin Shouzhuo drove Caterina to the sky above the town. In the busy and crowded river, Qin Shouzhuo really couldn't find a chance to land, so he had to fly out for a distance, land on the river outside the town, and then moor Katarina on the outermost pier of the town.

Next, the plane repairers repaired the plane, the tea drinkers drank tea, and Princess Sally was a rich lady who went out to travel. And Elsa's subordinates who came with her finally found an opportunity to play their role, and scattered one by one to find information dealers and inquire about the information of the Holy See's envoy ship.

By dinner in the evening, everyone's information was gathered, and Qin Shouzhuo regained his grasp of Victor's movements.

The whereabouts of such a large group of Templars could not be kept secret at all, and Victor did not think of keeping them strictly secret. A large group of Templars gathered here with a squad of knights from the west, and performed a series of religious activities in the church and the Lord's Palace, so much so that beautiful legends about the fiancée of the Templar leader still circulate to this day.

The basic confirmation is that Rafael is correct.

And from the mouths of the airship crew who arrived in the past few days, Qin Shouzhuo not only got the direction of Victor's action, but also got detailed information such as their speed of action, and it was not difficult to calculate Victor's current approximate location.

Nothing was said all night.

Early the next morning, Qin Shouzhuo came to the dock to do a final check on Caterina who was about to sail, and by the way, tied the "unfriendly strangers" caught last night to the stone and sank into the river.

Such a special "airship" landed in the creek in full view of everyone, which naturally attracted everyone's attention. This is not a closed Parker Town, not only has a developed transportation industry, but also a developed shipbuilding industry, and Katarina's ability to change the world can be seen at a glance, from the lord to the engineers of the major chambers of commerce are very curious about this "airship", and many forces have expressed their willingness to solicit and buy.

Of course, they all returned disappointed.

So, it was inevitable that there would be some small movements, but they were caught by the heavily guarded retired officers, tied together, and waited for the next day to see what the two princesses had to say. Obviously, neither the two princesses nor the former legion commander His Excellency took these forces that could only call for wind and rain in the little earldom in their eyes, and this pot was thrown to Qin Shouzhuo.

Qin Shouzhuo still wanted to throw it down, but he found that no one picked it up......

Without waiting for the various forces to come forward, Qin Shouzhuo had already made a decision: tie up the stone and sink the river. We're about to go, but I don't have time to spend it with them. Don't think that Qin Shou is clumsy and ruthless, according to the gentle Princess Sophia, peep into the royal car and be a clan.

By the time the various forces in the county of Feibudach reacted, Qin Shouzhuo and his party had already reached an altitude of 3,000m and were searching for Victor's whereabouts along the wind tunnel.

The trunk air duct that goes north from the Earl of Feibu Daxu belongs to a low-altitude air duct, with a center height of 1500m and a diameter of about 300m, that is to say, the flying ship that enters this wind duct can only fly up to 1650m minus the mast height, otherwise there is no other help except for slightly reducing the energy consumption of the floating array.

In this way, the altitude and route are fixed, coupled with the average speed estimated according to the intelligence yesterday, it is basically possible to predict the location of Victor, if there is an accurate map, Qin Shouzhuo can simply take a straight line and go straight to the target point.

As for why you have to chase along the air duct as inefficiently as you do now...... Hehe, you know.

Knowing that if it went well, they would encounter the enemy this morning, and the officers of the Elsa Mercenary Regiment also became serious, taking turns probing in the bubble cockpit to observe the situation below.

As one of the main shipping routes to the north of the Lawrence Empire, this trunk air channel is very busy, after leaving the county of Feibudach, it is almost less than ten minutes to see one or several airships composed of a group of ships, the officers in charge of observation do not dare to let go, staring deadly, the sun stimulates tears.

Because he was afraid that the observers would lose his eyes, Qin Shouzhuo did not dare to fly too fast, and controlled the speed to the extent that he could maintain the altitude, in order to see every airship he encountered, and the result was that the time to reach the segment where he was expected to find Victor was a few hours later than expected.

On this day, Qin Shouzhuo wrote this record in the logbook: The weather was clear and the clouds were high.

The weather is clear and the lighting conditions are good, so you can spot every suspicious target from a distance, and the high cloud cover means that the line of sight is unobstructed, and once the other party is discovered, you will not be able to use the natural conditions such as clouds to cover yourself, and there is nowhere to escape. This sentence once again emphasizes the fact that the situation is in your favor.

At about half past one in the afternoon, a heavy airship sailing alone in the wind tunnel entered Caterina's observation range.

It was a large ship over 30m in length, with sails hanging from its three masts, all bulging. On the main deck of the ship, there were a number of armed men, and more importantly, a large red cross flag on a white background hung on the top of the mainmast, the flag of the Knights Templar below, and the Duke of Jefferson heraldic flag at the bottom.

There is no doubt that the target has been found.

The red cross on a white background is the symbol of the Holy See, if it is a regular envoy ship belonging to the Holy See, the red cross will be embroidered with gold patterns, but the temporary requisitioned civilian ship can not find such a gorgeous flag, so it can only be improvised.

Observing correctly, he didn't find Victor or Raphael, but after confirming that the armed men on the deck were Templars, Qin Shouzhuo began to lower his altitude.

was about to start fighting, and Princess Sally, who was still drowsy in the afternoon sun before, suddenly became excited: "The target found out, Qin Shouzhuo, quickly put us down and throw us directly on their boat!"

With such a fierce speech, Qin Shouzhuo was almost suppressed.

Princess Sophia was almost scared to death, so she hurriedly stabilized Qin Shouzhuo: "Sister, you don't want to die!

Elsa Camilla also disagreed with Princess Sally's opinion, but she was even more curious about what Qin Shouzhuo was going to do: "Qin Shouzhuo, what are you going to do? This airship can't hover or fly at a low speed." ”

How? Catalina's wings can carry two 1,000-pound torpedoes! Of course, torpedoes can't hit air targets, but there are rockets!

With a push of the joystick, the nose of Caterina went down and began to descend rapidly, Qin Shouzhuo relaxed the throttle, controlled the speed, and circled down. After all, it is a seaplane, and it is not possible to dive due to the strength of the airframe, and in the same way, high-G maneuvering is not good, and the flexibility is quite improvised.

But it also depends on who you compare yourself to!

Such an all-metal bird circled around itself, even if it didn't notice it at first, there was no reason to ignore it after a long time, and someone immediately entered the cabin to report Victor. Victor came to the deck, his eyes were also very good, and it didn't take long for him to see the faces of the people inside the big bird, hehe, acquaintances.

"Prepare for battle!"

"Dangdang......"

The rapid battle alarm bell rang, a large group of armed men rushed out of the cabin to various combat posts, and a dozen sailors desperately climbed up the mast.

These are all normal combat preparations, but in the face of Qin Shouzhuo's strange-looking "airship", Victor has no bottom in his heart.

There is an old saying in Bluestar that scientific and technological progress will inevitably bring about changes in the mode of warfare.

Qin Shouzhuo controlled Caterina to circle down, gradually reaching the same altitude as Victor, and began to fly level, approaching from Victor's starboard side at high speed, approaching at the same time in order to aim.

Victor was also happy when he saw Qin Shouchuang's actions, and he actually took the initiative to occupy the T inferior position, so you are welcome. Victor ordered to adjust the course, starboard against the enemy, and launched all magic cannons. When he left Lawrence City, he took with him a group of maids who were given to him by petty officials and merchants, and they were used to being eldest ladies at home, and many of them knew magic, and at this time they also occupied all the firing positions, and the elemental light in their hands shone brightly. It's a pity that it's a temporary requisitioned civilian ship, and the number of magic cannons is not much.

Caterina was unmoved, just aimed at the airship so straight and accelerated, the two sides kept approaching, because the rockets under the wings were also all handmade, and the accuracy was limited, Qin Shouzhuo also wanted to launch as close as possible.

1000m

500m

300m

200m

The two sides continued to approach, and finally reached the range of spiritual power locking, and with the roar of the officers of the mage regiment under Victor, fireballs, wind swirls, lightning, and ice picks struck out with the roar of the magic cannon on the bow of the ship.

Almost at the same time, Qin Shouzhuo pressed the launch button, and the two cylinders with a diameter of 800mm and a length of nearly 5m broke away from the fuselage and fell less than half a meter, and the tail of the cylinder spewed out a surging flame, accelerating and crashing into the bow of Victor's airship.

Letting go of two rockets at once, with a total load of 2,000 pounds, Caterina rose violently, Qin Shouzhuo gently pulled the joystick, Caterina began to rise rapidly, and almost at the same time, the elemental torrent composed of three purple magic cannons and a large number of elemental magic reached the airspace where Caterina was originally located, and almost disappeared behind the belly of the plane.

When he was hovering and descending in the sky before, Qin Shouzhuo had already scanned the deck of this flying ship, and did not find Rafael outside, Qin Shouzhuo was sure that Rafael must be in the VIP cabin in the stern, so he deliberately aimed at the bow of the ship. While pulling the plane up, he dodged a round of attacks from the Templars and connected to the amplification circle outside the cabin:

"Raphael, fasten yourself to the bulkhead, defend with all your might, prepare for the impact-resistant !!"

The attack of two rockets does not change by anyone's will, and in just three seconds, everything is decided. I saw the rocket on the right side fly past the bow of the ship and disappear into the jungle in the distance. The rocket on the left side plunged headlong into the wooden hull on the side of the bow of the ship, smashed a large hole, and half disappeared from view.

"Boom !!!"

A huge fireball rose into the air, and the bow of the airship disappeared in an instant, scattering human bodies, broken wood and metal parts flew in all directions, the structure of the airship almost collapsed, and the silver-white floating circle gradually disappeared from the direction of the bow. The remnants of the hull slammed, the bow sank, and the airship began to dive towards the forest ahead, disintegrating and falling, and bursts of human screams could be heard from inside.

Destroying the heavy airship in one fell swoop with an unprecedented attitude, Qin Shouzhuo piloted Katarina to pull up the nose and pass the airship that was collapsing and disintegrating, and made a big circle, preparing to land on the pond formed by a small stream in front of him, when he suddenly felt a shock to the fuselage, and the joystick was much easier.

Outside the cabin, visible to the naked eye, a special-shaped metal piece hit the right engine, the power is decreasing, the right ailerons and flaps have lost control, and it can be seen that there are several holes in the main wing, and the crash is inevitable.

"Hold on to the handrails, resist the impact, and prepare for a forced landing!!"
