The huge aerial beast slowly rose in height under the gaze of tens of thousands of pairs of eyes, and the hull that originally occupied a great field of vision gradually became no longer the extremely intuitive deterrent power that was visually breathless.

But any soul master with a modicum of common sense knows that this just means that the opponent is entering the final stage of preparation before attacking - the soul masters should at least make sure that they are beyond the kill radius of the target before firing the shells.

Dai Yueheng looked at the man-made object that represented the unattainable industrial level from afar, the hard airship with a body length of nearly 200 meters, and those military hot air balloons that hit it all over the world.

What Dai Yueheng didn't know was that the speed at which this airship was completed was even far beyond Huo Yuhao's expectations; The Sun and Moon Empire, which did not want to sit idly by and watch the defeat of the Western Frontier, and hesitated not to prematurely invest in the army to increase the financial consumption, finally gave birth to this war beast, the largest flying artifact ever created, by the senior soul masters of the Ming Capital.

Thanks to the Douluo Continent's sometimes high and bizarre level of materialology due to setting, without considering the cost, the speed at which the soul masters rubbed a small amount of machinery by hand was no slower than that of an industrial assembly line.

At the edge of the battlefield, Huo Yuhao gently pressed his temple, placed a spatial anchor on the slowly stopped airship, and then began to use his spiritual power to scan the spiritual detection in the direction of the battlefield that was obviously the command headquarters.

"Wait a minute, I'll identify the important targets for you."

Hearing Huo Yuhao's affirmative answer, Ma Rulong, who was wearing a white large-brimmed military hat, nodded, and gave the order to the loader to "four-level marking bullets, six rounds of loading".

Although the Mingdu airship, of which Ma Rulong was the captain, had a complete set of bomb feeding and bomb raising systems, in order to avoid martyrdom and other considerations, the loading process adopted a method with the characteristics of the fantasy side - the loader took out the corresponding ammunition from the storage soul guide that was carried on board the boat before take-off according to the order, loaded it into the ammunition tray, and sent the shells into the ammunition supply channel in a human/mechanical way.

With the subspace storage method of the Soul Guide, the valuable space on the airship can be freed up for the installation of various subsystems that must be fixed.

After all, the first feature of military airships is a "flying weapon integration platform", and every piece of metal on its body is to better serve the war.

For example, the airship at this time is equipped with a giant soul power radar that is almost a hundred times larger than the portable soul power detector in the normal state - this thing cannot be compared with the spirit detection in terms of detection detail, but in terms of detecting soul power fluctuations, the huge power gives it a crushing advantage.

Although the detection results in the high altitude will be distorted, it is enough for the captain to have a full understanding of the battlefield situation, especially Huo Yuhao through the spiritual detection sharing of the Heavenly Soul Empire Command, the senior officers in the command headquarters and the important equipment in the army that are immune to soul power detection are marked one by one, and the detection results have been double-corroborated.

"Four-level marker shells, six rounds of calibration against the enemy's headquarters."

Ma Rulong adjusted the detection result of the soul power radar on the display screen to the highest level, and selected the position of the headquarters of the Heavenly Soul Empire's army.

Huo Yuhao's addition was a complete surprise, even without the precise guidance of spiritual detection, the airship's intended attack pattern would be like this to cover a general area indiscriminately by the number of shells.

After all, for an airship with an altitude limit of more than one kilometer, even if the original mechanical computer can roughly calculate the lateral distance from the height and oblique straight line distance, the additional calculation of the wind direction influence that cannot be ignored at hundreds of thousands of meters in the air is really beyond the limit of computing power.

The observation sentry at the bottom of the airship immediately looked at the command of the Heavenly Soul Empire army through an observation position equipped with a telescope with excellent field of view after receiving Ma Rulong's order.

A thin beam of colorless, formless, and even non-attacking soul power shot towards the command headquarters at the commanding heights and back, and after a while, the sentry officer compared the calculation and shooting tables and reported through a megaphone:

"The relative height is about 800 meters, and the straight-line distance is about 3,300 meters!"

Ma Rulong nodded, and after the gunner crew entered the parameters into the solver, the row of gun barrels in the lower abdomen of the airship slowly moved up and automatically adjusted the angle - for necessary deviation correction and emergency considerations, the gunner could also manually correct the direction and angle of the gun barrels again.

Although the airship's artillery system can give the shell a higher muzzle velocity, the buff effect on the range of the shell is still relatively limited, and the recoil will cause a disturbance to the hull that cannot be ignored; Oblique shooting is only a cautious attack method on the premise of keeping a distance, and volley bombing is the hammer of the airship.

At the headquarters of the Heavenly Soul Empire, the officers watched as the suffocating airship slowly rose into the air to a safe altitude that was already immune to almost all means of attack from the ground.

The Heavenly Soul officers, whose use of flying machines stayed at the level of a hot air balloon, had no idea that such a huge aerial beast would be able to climb to such a height while showing agility that was not commensurate with its size.

Right now...... They had already missed the attack window that could barely be fought for, whether it was a soul guide ray or a fixed soul guide shell, in the hands of a mid-level and low-level soul master who did not have an expensive flying soul guide, it was impossible to pose any threat to the nearly thousand-meter-high airship.

Several cannonballs were heard with the sound of whizzing wind, and the Heavenly Soul officers, who realized that the target of the airship was exactly where they were, sought cover in various ways.

Surprisingly, however, the expected explosion did not occur, and the shells only made a muffled popping sound, and all of them seemed to be duds.

But when someone observed the situation in the sky where the shell exploded, their faces changed dramatically - several extremely staring red "smoke rings" began to spread outward from the center of the explosion, and after reaching a radius of about ten meters, they no longer expanded, as if they were stationary.

This is a marker shell used to check where the shell landed!

"Captain, the landing point is as expected." The observation post reported.

Ma Rulong, who had already known the results through spiritual detection sharing, closed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "One seventh-level fixed-mounted incendiary bomb, one seventh-level fixed-mounted thunderbolt, and twelve sixth-level fixed-mounted group attack blasting bombs, loaded, fired!" ”

Out of concern about the actual combat performance of the airship, in order to prevent the airship from being shot down and the materials from being captured for research, the level of the fixed soul guide shell carried by Ma Rulong this time is only seven levels at most.

A few seconds later, the combination of 1+1+12 shells turned into a thin, spaced line and flew in the direction of the Heavenly Soul Empire's headquarters.

"Protect your lordship!" Seeing that the trajectory of the shells floating in the sky was already visible to the naked eye, the adjutant shouted, pulled the commander's sleeve and dragged the other party away first.

"I am the commander of the first army, how can I go, let the soldiers see me!" The Heavenly Soul Commander roared in a low voice.

"You, you, you!" The adjutant was about to say, "You don't want to catch the shell with the face of a mere soul saint," when the first seventh-level incendiary bomb flew over the headquarters.

The sensor detected that the relative altitude had reached the preset value, and the projectile exploded, sending hundreds of submunitions flying in all directions.

The core main munition and all the submunitions ignited at the same time, and the white flames slowly fell like petals towards the headquarters below the adjacent mountain forest at a speed visible to the naked eye.

When the first orderly with the army was contaminated with flames, he immediately used what he had learned in his life and rolled on the spot to try to extinguish the flames.

But the miserable white flames could not be eliminated like maggots attached to the bones, and even quickly burned out a lot of white bones in his screams.

However, his wails and cries for help were destined to go unheeded, because as the incendiary bombs that circled a circle of fire nets by submunitions slowly landed, the entire headquarters had become a human purgatory in an instant, and most of the officers could not escape the flames that blocked almost all directions, and after the skin was contaminated with flames, if the soul power was unfortunately exhausted, they would soon fall into a desperate situation of being consumed by the flames.

The Heavenly Soul Commander turned pale, and no longer said anything about "I want everyone to see me", grabbed the adjutant, and used his soul power to build a barrier to protect the two of them and desperately fled outward.

The second Tier 7 Fixed-Duty Lightning Bomb arrived over the Command Headquarters, and unlike the incendiary bombs that seemed to fall slowly and even with some poignant meaning, the lightning bomb exploded with all its energy the moment it was triggered, and the uncontrolled lightning turned into countless falling branches, covering almost every corner within the radius of destruction.

Although it doesn't trigger the fire + lightning = overload reaction to increase the damage figure, the incendiary bomb and lightning bomb do create an extremely tragic explosion in the entire command center when stacked on top of each other.

The Heavenly Soul Commander, who fled with his adjutant, felt a pain in his heart, and the soul power barrier behind him finally couldn't withstand the two rounds of face-hugging bombardment of the seventh-level fixed soul guide cannonballs and shattered; The strong wind from the explosion blew the two of them tumbling down the hill below.

Twelve sixth-level fixed-loading explosive bombs designed to cut through the grass and completely repair the knife were smashed down at the same time, turning the original headquarters with a lot of military equipment into a blank field - all the bones of the officers and soldiers who did not run for their lives in the first place and did not have strong cultivation were gone, and the targeted removal of incendiary bombs, lightning bombs and blasting shells in the confined space not only created an ultra-high temperature enough to melt the metal, but also caused the few corpses they had retained to be blown in all directions.

On the Mingdu airship, the crew in charge of the observation post scratched his head, and the thick black smoke on the headquarters played a great role in distracting, so that he could not confirm the damage effect at all.

"The enemy's location has been cleared." Ma Rulong's voice suddenly came out of the radio, startling the crew at the observation post.

Ma Rulong's face remained unchanged, but with the help of Huo Yuhao's spiritual detection sharing, he saw the command headquarters that had been physically erased in a few seconds, and naturally knew that there was no need to waste shells on the incapacitated command center.

"Switch to volley bombing mode, the target is where the enemy's main force is, and bomb me where there are many people! All fixed soul guide shells below level 6 should be emptied, and the bomb delivery bay should not be closed throughout the whole process! ”

In fact, for the soul master who was unfettered on the battlefield and could flexibly adjust his position, it was impossible for Ma Rulong to carry out a precise range bombardment like he did against the command headquarters.

And on the ground, the entire battlefield was frozen in the bombardment that had buried the Heavenly Soul Command in billowing smoke.

That's what the high-ranking officers who nominally commanded the troops of the three kingdoms and swore to His Majesty that they would put down the traitors in one fell swoop...... Gone?

Is this reasonable? That monster is nearly a thousand meters in the air, how can it be so accurate?

Huo Yuhao, who acted as a supercomputer, used the human brain to correct the wind deviation, and helped the airship gunner inadvertently fine-tune the lower angle, looked up at the airship that was quite different from the drawings he provided at the beginning, and always had a wonderful feeling in his heart that although his child looked handsome, he just didn't look like himself......

And with the absurd sudden destruction of the command center, the soldiers and soul masters of the Heavenly Soul Army suddenly fell into confusion.

This battle ...... Is it necessary to keep fighting?

Why don't you go to the rear and join forces first, give the commander a funeral, and then swear to come back with a mourning army?

Ma Rulong on the airship made a decision for them - today's battle must end with a complete rout of one of the sides.

The airship slowly moved forward, opened a safe distance from the entanglement between the two armies, and then opened the bomb bays below.

This is the real area bombardment, the bombardiers only consider making slight corrections according to the wind direction, and the rest is left to the shells to completely flood the target with their number and range.

The backlog of fourth- and fifth-level temporary soul guide shells in the arsenal of Mingdu ended their lives with a series of explosions walking hand in hand, compared to the previous "bullet line", the airship dropped at this time is the real rain of bullets.

The continuous explosion of cannonballs on the ground above the head of the Heavenly Soul Army or in the crowd not only blew up the formation of the Heavenly Soul Army in one fell swoop, but also damaged the already wavering military spirit.

Even the Heavenly Soul Masters who were desperately fighting with their opponents who were retreating were also retreating, and the reason why Ma Rulong had the courage to stop directly above the battlefield was because he had eaten the serious asymmetry of each other's threats.

Could it be that the soul masters of the Heavenly Soul Empire could still use a small water pipe like a ray gun to bring down the airship?

A soul master who can remain a threat enough to pose a threat to the airship after liftoff must at least reach the Soul Saint level.

And the airship is far from being a target for anyone to slaughter, not only is the seemingly smooth and ordinary hull built-in with a trigger-type directional defense shield, but the down-firing firepower of the airship itself is enough for the soul master who came to challenge to drink a pot.

Originally, this statement was still up for debate, but the soul masters of the Heavenly Soul Empire witnessed the tragic situation of the two soul saints who were unwilling to sit still and bravely take off to challenge the giant beast by the muzzle of the cannon that had been stopped for a long time, and the tragic situation of falling to the ground after three rounds of rapid fire, "keeping a useful body for the country to wait for the future" has become the consensus reached by everyone at the speed of light.

The Soul Saint and Contra, who were already scarce on the battlefield, were unwilling to use their lives as victims to test the firepower of the airship and explore ways to break the enemy for their companions, and the others had no way to threaten the airship at all; The situation on the battlefield was irrepressibly reversed twenty minutes after the airship arrived, and the military formation that the Heavenly Soul Empire was struggling to maintain completely collapsed.

The Heavenly Soul fellows showed their magical powers and rushed to escape from the battlefield, while Ma Rulong was very organized and focused on taking care of the soul master who thought he was smart and used a flying soul guide to escape for his life.

Originally, the crowd on the ground was mixed, and Ma Rulong could only close his eyes and throw bombs at the densest place of the crowd.

But soul masters who can use flying soul guides or rise into the air with their own strength are obviously high-value targets, and killing one is much more valuable than killing a few ordinary soldiers.

Looking at the rout army that was all over the mountains, trampling and fleeing for their lives, and the endless cascading corpses that had died because of the soul guide shells of various attributes used to clear the warehouse, Ma Rulong gently closed his eyes, couldn't help but shake his head, and prayed with his hands together compassionately.

"I've done so much at once, I'm afraid I'll go to hell when I die......"

Huo Yuhao's voice, which had been silently marking important targets, came into Ma Rulong's mind again:

"No, because I didn't approve it."

Ma Rulong, who pretended to be deep, broke his skills all of a sudden, and almost couldn't help laughing.

"You're humorous enough."

"Don't talk about that, how about doing me a little favor by the way?"

"Do I have an option not to help? If you refuse, will you be dismissed on the spot when you return to Mingdu? ”

Driving the simulation and hiding on the edge of the battlefield, watching the spectacular rout of the army that lost its armor, Huo Yuhao shook his head.

"No, I will dismiss you on the spot, and go back to find Kong Lao to make up for the formalities."

"It's you, so what can you do for the hall master?"

The next moment, Ma Rulong's spiritual detection shared vision turned to the other side of the battlefield, an elite division with a small number of people but still maintained a neat formation and military discipline when the army was defeated.

The two blonde men riding on the tall horses were marked by Huo Yuhao with a beating conspicuous triangle.

"Shhh...... Oh yes, it's them. Ma Rulong, who recognized Dai Huabin, said suddenly.

Huo Yuhao hugged his chest and smiled: "Every encounter in the world is a reunion after a long absence, I am not interested in personally going to half of the soul master group to risk assassinating them, I will leave it to you." Safety comes first, and you don't have to force it. ”

"The cockpit obeyed the order, and the course turned 30 degrees south-east." Ma Rulong framed the direction of the two Dai Yueheng brothers in the display screen and ordered.

The huge aerial beast slowly turned, and the Heavenly Soul soldiers who had been being chased closely and panicked for fear that the bomb would fall on their heads were relieved to see this scene.

Looking at the direction of the airship deflection again, it seems to be the direction of the reinforcements of the Star Luo Empire?

Really...... The friendship forged by the Three Kingdoms in battle is indestructible, and the Heavenly Soul Empire will always remember the sacrifices made by the brave allies who sacrificed their lives to feed the tigers!

"Don't have all the baggage, everyone ride and retreat!"

Dai Yueheng on the white horse roared.

"The Heavenly Soul Empire has a Titled Douluo on standby in the territory, run, run over, we will be safe! They just made a sneak attack, and there was nothing to be afraid of! ”

Dai Huabin looked at the airship that suddenly turned and was heading in his direction with horror in his eyes, and all the members of the Starlight Soul Master Group were equipped with flying soul guides, but those soul masters of the Heavenly Soul Empire who were fluttering and falling had already taught them the price of taking off and receiving attention.

was blown up on the ground, and there was cover to rely on; Being greeted by cannonballs in the clean sky is really unavoidable and full of damage.

"Big ...... Big brother, it's coming at us! Dai Huabin gritted his teeth, and his voice trembled a little.

Dai Yueheng's face was gloomy, and while paying attention to the situation of the soldiers behind him, he was hoping in his heart that the reinforcements from the Heavenly Soul Empire would come as soon as possible.

Ma Rulong calculated the amount of ammunition that might be used to break off when preparing to retreat, and then ordered:

"Level 7 Blasting Bullets, Two Rounds Reloading, Level 6 Blasting Rounds, Three Rounds Loading!"

This is already the only remaining high-grade artillery shell that can be used to ensure a smooth return.

The whistling four cannonballs smashed into the entire group of the Starlight Soul Mentor Regiment who retreated in an orderly manner, and Ma Rulong on the airship immediately turned gloomy - the information officer reminded him that the edge of the radar had detected the suspected Title Douluo-level fluctuations, and today's battle had completed the task beyond expectations, and he had to return home.

The airship in the sky had not yet turned, and the sharp-eyed Dai Yueheng had already seen the four unbiased cannonballs that were obviously being smashed at the Starlight Soul Master Group.

At this moment, countless thoughts passed through Dai Yueheng's mind, but in the end, he stayed in the cave that shattered the Shrek Seven Monsters a few years ago.

If he were to make another choice, would he still protect his brother with his life?

When this question came to mind, Dai Yueheng already knew his answer.

"Hua Bin, be careful!"

Dai Yueheng shouted loudly, pulled Dai Huabin directly from the horse, and hugged him into his arms.

"Big brother?!" Dai Huabin, whose heart was pounding, had just exclaimed, and the four shells that came one after another had exploded one after another while Dai Yueheng was trying his best to unfold his soul power protection.

A deafening roar, a sweep of air, and a breathless heat......

Dai Huabin's eyes went dark, and the whole person fainted instantly.

When he came back to his senses a few seconds later, he found that Dai Yueheng, who was protecting him tightly, had turned into a bloody man, and the blood could not stop leaving from his forehead and shoulders.

"Hua ...... Mom and Dad ......" Dai Yueheng didn't finish speaking, and passed out.

Dai Huabin's brain fell into a blank for a moment, and then there was incomparable remorse, and tears rolled out of the corners of his eyes.

This is as good as that moment.

"Ahhh

Dai Huabin picked up Dai Yueheng's body and roared.

However, Dai Huabin suddenly found that something seemed to be missing.

Feeling the calm under him again, Dai Huabin finally understood - it was a horse!

Their horses are gone!

Dai Huabin glanced at the situation of the Starlight Soul Mentor Group behind him in horror, only to see that none of the soldiers who were the pride of the empire maintained a standing posture at this time; Some are dead, some are holding their bodies that appear to be intact and wailing quietly, and some seem lucky to have minor injuries, but they also have multiple fractures and can't stand.

And the white horses were scattered on the side of the road.

All the horses of the Starlight Soul Master Group are dead! They can't run!

Dai Huabin, who was full of hatred and unwillingness, was raising his head and wanted to put up a middle finger on the airship to end his life heroically, when he suddenly heard the sound of messy hooves coming from behind.

That...... It was the donkey cart that the logistics troops had abandoned when they fled for their lives!

They were a blessing in disguise and miraculously remained intact under the attack of the airship!

Dai Huabin suddenly withdrew his middle finger, and his eyes were fixed on the fastest donkey cart.

Dozens of donkeys followed the main road, stepping on the bodies of the soldiers of the Starlight Soul Mentor Regiment, who might not have lost their breath, and fled frantically, provoking a wail.

When the galloping donkey at the front passed in front of Dai Huabin's eyes, his eyes were quick and he grabbed the reins.

A donkey's cry sounded, Dai Huabin snorted coldly, threw all the sacks containing the baggage on the donkey cart out of the car, and loaded Dai Yueheng, who had passed out in a coma-he still remembered the precept that the airship could not rise into the air in front of him.

Riding on the donkey, Dai Huabin wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, shook the reins, and his eyes appeared in the illusion of inheriting the mantle of the White Tiger Duke to become a new generation of war gods and leading the soul master group to rush into the Ming Capital, and roared:

"Starlight Soul Mentor Group, charge!"
