Chapter 1286: The Eagle in the Sky Over the Maple Leaf Danlin (Part II)
Minutes and seconds passed.
The sky gradually turned from light to dark.
The alarm sounded for more than five hours.
By this time, the sun had sunk below the horizon, the sky was dark, and only the last red clouds remained in the western canopy. The earth is about to fall into darkness. But in the vast sky, there was still not a single abnormal movement.
The Maple Leaf Danlin people on campus have long been ready for battle.
They craned their necks and looked up at the sky until their necks ached, and they didn't find the lich who was coming to attack the Maple Leaf Danlin.
The enemy did not arrive as expected, and most people's passionate feelings faded little by little over time.
Especially the young people, when the alarm sounded, they were all enthusiastic, but the eagle (below) above the Maple Leaf Danlin came and went very fast.
Two hours later, a lot of people had given up monitoring the sky and were gathering in twos and threes to discuss when the damn undead would arrive.
Everyone agrees that the fastest undead are the good undead.
Because, if you come early, you can naturally solve them cleanly, so that you can catch up with the celebration party in the evening, and then pretend to be 13 by the way, soak a girl or something.
If you are lucky and win the favor of girls, maybe you can find a place to chat with beautiful girls about life, and explore the philosophical dialectical relationship between human postmodern behaviorism and the third stage of social ethics. And it's a very deep, deep, deep kind......
Every time I think of this, everyone has a lewd smile on their faces. Then I can't wait for those undead to grow wings and fly in front of me immediately.
But everyone was like stupid birds, looking forward to it for most of the day, but those dead spirits were as despicable and shameless as the history books described**...... They won't come. It's a waste of the uncle's precious time.
Therefore, many people waited impatiently for Chapter 1286 The Eagle (below) above the Maple Leaf Danlin began to scold.
When it gets dark. The undead still didn't come.
At this time, everyone had been scolding for most of the day, and all of them were dry-mouthed, and they didn't even have the strength to scold.
Almost all of the students have given up.
Many daring students even ignored the college's warnings to evacuate and went in droves to find a place to settle for dinner.
Regardless of whether the spirits of the dead come or not, people always have to eat.
At this time, the students were already discussing whether the undead would come to attack their Maple Leaf Danlin. But is Lord Lorraine's prediction accurate?
Could it be that the undead didn't come at all?
Could it be that the lord is issuing a false alarm?
Or maybe it's just a realistic drill. Let everyone be busy in vain and see everyone's resilience?
Anyway, many people are extremely pessimistic, thinking that this time it is a dog-biting pig urine bubble, and they like it.
In the towering magic tower, those noble ** masters were also a little impatient to wait.
Someone was bold. Quietly speaking to Dean Leist, who had been looking at the sky, he said, "Your Excellency, it's getting late. We waited for a few hours, is it for everyone to take a break and eat some food to replenish the body. ”
Leist's face turned pale when he heard this. With a dissatisfied "um" in his nose, he said, "Don't worry, they will definitely come." ”
Unlike the hesitation and suspicion of the students of the Maple Leaf Danlin, Dean Lester insisted on the affirmation that the undead must come to attack the Maple Leaf Danlin.
Because he made a bet with Lorraine. So those undead had better get acquainted with each other, come over quickly, and let his old man kill him.
Then he could go and laugh at Lorraine, and guess not for sure.
For this reason, the Rester Forbidden Spell Archmage is like a young man in love, motionless under the window of his lover, patiently guarding the magic tower, and even forgetting the passage of time.
The professor who spoke saw Lester's displeased face, and he was frightened and did not dare to speak.
However, Lester also felt that it was not appropriate for everyone to be hungry like this, he thought for a moment, then waved his hand, and said: "Let people bring food to the tower, I have a hunch that the enemy may arrive soon." ”
The old mages in their fifties and sixties glanced at each other, and they all saw the helplessness on each other's faces.
No way, although the Academy of Magic claims to be an ivory tower within an ivory tower. But there is a saying: "Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes." ”
Where there are rivers and lakes, there are naturally bosses of rivers and lakes.
In the Maple Leaf Danlin Academy, Lester is the dean of the Academy of Magic, and he is the well-known boss of the rivers and lakes.
This old scholar speaks, and no one dares not to listen.
Discipline appropriation, everyone's salary and bonus, professional title evaluation, research project approval...... and so on, all of which are in the hands of the old man Lester alone.
As long as you want to charge two more graduate students, get more funds, do more projects, and get more grades...... Then you'll have to slap Dean Lester's ass hard. And you have to shoot him comfortably~!
Therefore, although everyone felt a little tired, they had to hold on to the magic tower.
The setting sun spewed out its last rays of light and disappeared below the horizon, and before you knew it, boundless darkness came like a tidal wave, enveloping the entire land.
There is only one moon in the sky.
Summer night has come~!
At this time, the uneasiness in Lester's heart became more and more intense.
Night combat is a weakness of humans, but it is a strong point of the Lich, whose eyesight is not affected by night. Once they attack at this time, the combat power of the human race will inevitably be greatly reduced.
As uneasy as Lester is Paulus, who has been waiting for the fighter plane at an altitude of three thousand meters.
Until now, the reconnaissance team sent out has not returned, and according to the time, they may have flown nearly thousands of miles at the farthest.
Paulus stood at the window, with his hands behind his back, looking out at the dark sky, quietly waiting. He wasn't worried about whether the undead would come today. Even if they don't come, this time it's a good exercise.
Because, those undead will always come~!
Even if it's not today, it will be tomorrow, the day after tomorrow~!
Paulus and the captains are duty-bound to fight, no matter when the lich comes. They all had to deal the hardest blow to the lichs with the highest fighting spirit.
He was just as worried as Rest. Darkness is bad for human mages.
Although the captains have trained in field combat, they are not lichs after all, and the night inevitably affects their performance.
The lich is all aware of this, and they are not idiots, they will definitely take advantage of this and deliberately choose to attack in the dark of night~!
And the night gets deeper......
Thinking of this, he looked at the waning moon in the sky, and silently thought in his heart: the weaker the visibility. It is more and more unfavorable for their own side.
That's when it happened. In the deep blue sky of the south, a little twinkling starlight lit up, although inconspicuous, but it was immediately caught by the vigilant Paulus.
His body couldn't help but shake, and he hurriedly looked at it.
The distant stars flashed again, and seemed to be brighter than before.
A few seconds later. A few more flashes.
Paulus could see clearly, two long and one short.
The others in the war fortress also noticed the flash at this time. shouted loudly: "Boss, it seems to be a signal." ”
Paulus looked solemn and nodded. He said in a deep voice: "It's finally here." ”
A long flash indicates that an enemy has been found, and a long and a short one indicates that the number of enemies is about one hundred and fifty, which is two and a half times that of them.
The enemy is finally coming~!
As a soldier, although he is always eager to make a contribution. But at this moment, it was finally confirmed that the enemy had arrived, but it still made him feel a chill in the depths of his heart.
The world war has finally arrived~!
Although this war was expected by all. But as the saying goes, 'The first battle is a success, and all bones are dry.' ’
Once this world war starts, I don't know how many lives will be destroyed, how many heroes will be bloodstained on the battlefield, and how many families will be broken and scattered......
But then, he shook his head vigorously and threw the thought of self-consciousness out of his mind.
In the next second, Paulus commanded in a calm and loud voice: "Turn on the lights and prepare to attack." ”
The general is the courage of the soldiers, in the battle, the main general is calm and steady, so that the soldiers can be full of confidence in victory, although Paulus's excited heart at the moment is beating wildly, the blood vessels in the brain are bursting, he still stabilizes his mind, in his mind to deduce the battle plan.
Paulus's long plane first lit the lights overhead and at the four corners.
The war fortresses that lined him were lit one after another. The red and yellow lights are extra bright at night. From afar, it looks like a bright star.
There is no way to do this, in order to maintain the formation and avoid collisions at night, they can only light up the anti-collision lights, which of course will become eye-catching.
Paulus glanced back through the window, and dozens of lights illuminated the outline of the war fortress behind him.
"Let's go~!" Paulus commanded loudly.
With an order, his car took the lead and rushed towards the south, and the others quickly followed in a neat formation.
At the beginning, the people of Lorraine had captured and driven back a war fortress in the demons, although it now belonged to Lester, but the academy had conducted a detailed test of that war fortress, and left a variety of numbers.
Paulus knew that the war fortress of the undead flew at the highest altitude, around two thousand meters. If it is higher, the energy consumption will increase dramatically, and it will not be cost-effective.
Lichs, on the other hand, usually choose to fly at an altitude of about 1,000 meters, so that they can use the terrain as a reference to determine their location.
In comparison, the improved War Fortress produced by their Maple Leaf Danlin had a high advantage, and Paulus decided to take this advantage to the extreme.
A few minutes later, Paulus and the signaling War Fortress met in the air, and when the two War Fortresses approached, the War Fortress Captain who had been sent out to reconnoiter risked flying into Paulus's long plane in the face of strong air currents in the air.
The mage's white and chubby round face was flushed by the cold night wind, and he couldn't help rubbing his hands together, and said quickly: "The enemy is coming from the south-southwest direction, the number is estimated to be about one hundred and fifty, I found them at about half past five in the afternoon, and now it is estimated that they are less than three hundred miles away from here. ”
Paulus nodded calmly, thought quickly in his heart, and said secretly: "Three hundred miles, that is, my speed is one hundred miles to one hundred and twenty miles ahead of them, which is very good~!"
Paulus turned to the adjutant and asked, "How long will it be before the enemy gets to our position?"
The adjutant took a pen and hooked it on the paper, and immediately replied: "Conservative estimate, forty minutes." ”
Paulus thought about tactics in his heart, and after a few seconds, he decisively ordered: "You can't fight this battle above the head of the Maple Leaf Danlin, go one hundred and fifty miles ahead." We ambushed them there. ”
"Yes," the adjutant immediately agreed, and immediately notified his comrades behind him with a lantern.
Paulus led a team of forty war fortresses, arced and flew to the battlefield.
The adjutant pinched his watch to calculate the flight distance, and after ten minutes, his lights were extinguished in the hovering sky of the war fortress that departed from the Maple Leaf Danlin.
The whole team is like a highly venomous king cobra. Lurking under the dark darkness of the night. As soon as their prey appears, they launch a deadly attack.
It seemed to everyone that time was passing much slower than usual, and every second seemed like a month.
Paulus and the captains were in the same mood, excited and nervously waiting.
This will be their first fight, after a long period of training. The results are about to be seen.
How advanced is their equipment, whether their tactics are effective, and whether their crews are brave and fearless...... will all prove in battle.
Ten minutes later. A faint green light appeared in the dark night sky.
"It's coming. Paulus let go of his sweaty fist and whispered excitedly.
After the flash of green, within a few seconds. Suddenly, a large spot of light surged out of the night sky, resembling a swarm of flying fireflies, and the number was incalculable.
The war fortress of the undead finally appeared in sight~!
Paulus finally let out a sigh of relief, and it turned out that his arrangement was correct, the speed and orientation of the enemy. It was exactly as he expected.
Then Paulus smiled at his lieutenant and said, "These lichs are really a bunch of fools, they don't use their best advantage to sneak attack in the dark and don't turn off the lights." ”
The adjutant shrugged and guessed, "Presumably they don't think it's necessary." ”
Paulus shook his head with a smile, instantly burst out with strong confidence, and sneered: "Since it was sent to the door, I am welcome." ”
Then he calmly watched as the green light of the war fortress streaked across the sky, dozens of miles in front of him.
Paulus estimated the distance, and had been secretly counting down in his heart, seeing the war fortress of the undead clan flying in front of him in a scattered formation, he suddenly shouted, "Turn on the lights~!"
The lights on the five corners of the war fortress lit up at the same time, and then behind him, the war fortress, which was also lurking and waiting, was lit up at the same time.
"Rush up~!" Paulus waved his hand vigorously, and the war fortress under his feet trembled slightly, and then accelerated suddenly, and the huge inertia made Paulus unsteady and took two steps back.
The reddish-yellow Maple Leaf Danlin built a war fortress and rushed towards the enemy team as fast as he could.
The distance of dozens of miles passed in an instant, and in Paulus's eyes, the enemy did not seem to react, and they still maintained the same speed, and flew northward, as if they had not been discovered.
This made Paulus's heart secretly strange, and he secretly said in his heart: Could it be that they have some tricks?
The distance between the two sides was getting closer, and after a few minutes, Paulus could even see the vague outline of the undead war fortress.
It was only then that the enemy seemed to notice the movement on this side, and the outermost fortresses of war were able to turn around and face Paulus, while the large force was still flying straight.
Paulus couldn't help licking his lips and exclaimed in surprise: "Good opportunity~!"
It was as if the enemy had taken the initiative to send his softest abdomen to the head of the Maple Leaf Danlin man's knife.
After a few breaths, against the dark blue canopy, Paulus could already see the enemy's pitch-black appearance, and at the same time, the battery signaled that the enemy was in range.
Paulus grabbed the intercom, stared at the war fortress opposite, and shouted, "Steady, closer." Steady, steady......"
Paulus had to make sure that the artillery could accurately hit the target and kill it with one hit.
Ten seconds later, Paulus, who was at the top of the Maple Leaf Danlin Charge, was only a few hundred meters away from the nearest enemy.
With the green light on the opposite side, Paulus could even see the swaying figure in the enemy window.
The enemy slammed straight into him, and a green light shot out from the middle of the enemy's war fortress, cutting a clear arc in the air, and flying dozens of meters away from Paulus's long plane.
The enemy opened fire first.
Paulus sneered, and waited for the dark mage or the lich to charge the magic cannon again, at least a dozen seconds.
"Enough. Paulus said secretly in his heart, his big hand clenched the intercom hard, and he hissed and yelled: "Fire~!"
The two guns of the upper weapon platform roared at the same time.
The fire from the muzzle of the cannon instantly illuminated the night sky, and a "boom" followed, and the eardrums of the people in the war fortress were painful.
The undead war fortress that was rushing towards it suddenly burst into a brilliant spark.
One of the shots hit it right in the face.
Heavy shells pierced the exterior walls and penetrated deep into the interior.
Intense flames erupted from inside the war fortress, and a violent explosion tore open the entire upper part, and the burning flames burst out of the war fortress, illuminating only half of the dilapidated war fortress.
There seemed to be a human body falling from the sky in the firelight.
The war fortress that was hit slowed down instantly, and then sank suddenly, billowing black smoke, in a strange spiral, and fell diagonally downward towards the ground rapidly.
"Good~!" Paulus tapped his palm hard and opened the battle.
His lieutenant danced with joy and shouted around him.
Paulus grabbed the intercom and yelled, "Leave it alone, fire at the enemy in front of you, fire, fire~!"
In the midst of his frantic roar, the artillerymen in the weapons room were all red-eyed, and it only took four seconds to push the prepared artillery next to him to the front, and quickly aimed at another approaching war fortress to shoot.
The muzzle flame flashed, and the undead war fortress less than five hundred meters away from them did not explode, and missed.
Just as the officer was directing the artillery to rotate the artillery and prepare to continue firing, the undead war fortress as the target exploded. Shattered in a patch of orange flames.
The captains who were following behind Paulus also began to shoot.
The team of the Maple Leaf Danlin people formed a sharp triangle, with Paulus as the sharp dagger point, and stabbed into the ranks of the undead war fortress.
The enemy's ranks were so dense that they seemed to rush into a honeycomb, and for a time, the front and left were the enemy's war fortresses, and the artillerymen were even scrambling to choose their targets.
Keeping in mind the tactical rules, each squad gathers fire to attack a target, whether it hits or misses, maintains a high speed, and looks for the next closest target.
Brilliant sparks burst into the air one after another.
To Paulus and the captains' surprise, the enemy never fought back, and their magic cannons seemed to be dumb. rs!!!
