(663) Acrophobia
Vaguely hearing the dense gunfire in the distance, Neulai asked in a panic:
"Fired? Where is the enemy? ”
The observer said, "Lord Count, the first landing force has come into contact with the enemy, and those monsters have come out of the ground. ”
"Charlotte! Ask your people to help! ”
"You're stupid, it's hard to turn in a hot air balloon, one of my teams is already providing air support, and the wind is pushing us to the south."
"Then let's go and escort it, Your Majesty is in danger!"
Charlotte covered her ears: "Oops, it's noisy!" You layman, shut up, okay! ”
"Woman! Are you going to disobey orders? ”
"Stupid! The main task of the balloon unit is reconnaissance, not combat! ”
The observer shouted in panic: "Big sister, a large group of winged monsters have come out of the caverns of the volcano!" Our people are under attack...... Oh, my God! They tear living beings in half!
Damn it! It's too fast...... It's coming to us! ”
"Don't panic, descend and get ready to fight!"
"They're coming!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the observer with the telescope was stabbed through the chest by a sharp spike and fell headlong into the hanging basket.
"Sister Susie!" One of the shooters cried and hugged the observer: "Oh, no! Who will save her! ”
Neulei pursed his lips and sighed, "The heart is pierced, and there is no help." ”
"She's dead! It's useless to be nostalgic, let go of her and stick to your post! Charlotte picked up the blood-stained telescope and poked her head out to observe:
"This damn monster looks like a bat, and it can shoot bone spurs to hurt people, so be careful!"
"Yes...... But ......"
"It's nothing, I know she's your cousin, and she's at war now! It's not a play house, I don't have time to cry your nose! Now, I command you, Private Medice! ”
The female soldier wiped her tears and sobbed and said, "Yes...... Big sister head"
"The telescope is for you, and you take Susie's place as an observer! Shout as soon as there is a situation, shooters shoot freely! ”
With a sense of grief and anger for the revenge of their comrades, the shooters send bullets into the monster's body;
"If you hit it, it will fall, this thing is fast, but you don't carry it!"
"It's really rare good news, come on, sisters, we can win!"
Charlotte felt a wave of heat coming from her right side, and turned her head to see that the No. 171 hot air balloon not far away was burning for some reason, and the person in the hanging basket quickly fell and fell to pieces.
"Attention, not only can it shoot spikes, but this monster can also spit fireballs from its mouth."
A shooter was raising her gun to aim, when suddenly, her neck was pierced by a spike, blood choked her throat, and she quickly lost her breath, and the navigator picked up the dropped rifle and continued to fight.
Neulai looked down, the blood of the air force soldier flowed down the gap at the bottom of the hanging basket, and the two young and fresh lives were gone.
Their eyes were still open, and just a quarter of an hour ago the girls were joking with each other.
"The girls are fighting bloodily, and I, a big man, have to do something......"
Neule tried to stand up, but he couldn't overcome his fear of heights, and he fell down the moment he saw the air.
"Smack!" He slapped himself several big mouths in a row:
"Why am I so cowardly that I don't even dare to stand up!"
The new observer shouted: "Some of the bat monsters are attacking the fleet, may Brother Carl be okay with him......"
Charlotte exclaimed, "Don't worry about your brother anymore! Miss Medis! Be an observer and be attentive, and if you make another mistake, I'll throw you down! Answer me if you understand! ”
"Yes...... Sir. ”
Rumbling artillery was heard in the distance, and with its numbers and powerful firepower, the Royal Navy fleet was in an advantageous position, and it was also able to spare time to shell to support the ground forces,
However, the hot air balloon unit is isolated, and it has to carry out reconnaissance missions, and even more so to fight for survival.
Colonel Charlotte wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead: "Don't forget our mission, mark the direction of the monster's gathering with flares, and indicate the target for the naval guns!" ”
Neulei asked worriedly, "Excuse me...... Your Majesty, how is she? ”
"Sorry, I don't know......
What is certain is that the entire underground of the island has been hollowed out, and there are unknown number of monsters hidden, and the battlefield is a mess, and each unit is fighting on its own.
Wait a minute...... I see Your Majesty! She's under siege by monsters," said Observer Medis; "It's at seven o'clock! She fought side by side with the Prime Minister, but fortunately she had the support of the Marine Corps. ”
Neule was shocked when he heard this;
(I live for Your Majesty with this life, and how can I sit idly by when she is in danger?) )
With a ruthless heart, he stood up sharply with his eyes closed, groping the edge of the pod with both hands,
When he opened his eyes, he saw the chaotic air battlefield, and the hot air balloon troops were fighting bloodily.
Bullets, spikes, and fireballs flew everywhere in the air, shouts of killing and screams were endless, hot air balloons were constantly ignited, and female soldiers were constantly falling to their deaths.
The hot air balloon No. 212 on the left is besieged by three bat monsters, and the only remaining female soldier in the basket jumps on the bat's back and stabs it with her sword, and then dies together.
(They were all girls of Valstad, my blood compatriots, at the age of eighteen or nineteen, the age of gold, who should have been in love in the park, but died on the battlefield in this foreign land......
Fearless...... There are no bones left...... What reason can I escape? )
Thinking of this, Neulai took a deep breath, his gaze shifted downward, the ground forces were also fighting, his fear of heights made his legs tremble, and he scolded towards his knees:
"You coward, why are you trembling! The ladies are fighting bloody! ”
It was a fierce battle between acquired will and natural fear, and Neule almost crushed his teeth.
(The best way to get rid of fear...... It's about facing your fears...... Neulai! If you can't do it, then you don't deserve to be a marshal of the empire! Go home and farm, you squire nobleman! )
Neulai endured the fear of heights, picked up a rifle with a trembling hand and shot at the bat monster, although it missed, but finally crossed the hurdle.
Colonel Charlotte was stunned, and she looked in amazement at the figure of the noble and brave count fighting:
"Awesome! What a fierce man! Defeated fear of heights! At this moment, her eyes moistened, and there were more emotions besides reverence.
A giant bat monster flew alongside a hot air balloon with its black wings flapping, and a saddled monster was strapped to it, and a wizard in gray robes rode on it.
"Watch out for the left!" Observer Medis shouted.
Charlotte lowered her head to avoid the jar thrown at her by the wizard, and the jar fell into the corner of the hanging basket, and several poisonous snakes crawled out, and the female soldiers screamed in fright.
"Don't be afraid, girls, I'm going to eat them all like noodles!!"
Neule pulled out his saber in his right hand and slashed more than a dozen highly venomous cobras in a row, strangled a green snake that was attacking him with his left hand, and he found a colorful red pit viper crawling down his boot to Charlotte's thigh,
"Be careful!"
Neule hugged Charlotte's thigh, bit off the snake with his teeth, and then said, "Phew! With a thud, he spat the snake's blood onto the ground.
Colonel Charlotte blushed:
"Thank you...... Can you take your hands off the way? Lord Earl......"
Neulai laughed: "I'm old, and I'm still shy like a little girl!" ”
