Chapter 263: People Sakura Eggs and charge on board
A huge shadow slowly moved in the northernmost part of the continent at an altitude of more than a kilometer.
And in the cold coniferous forest below, where there is no end even from a thousand meters in the sky, several soul masters held the binoculars in their hands, and kept their eyes fixed on the airship with the "04" number in silence, and couldn't help but feel a dry mouth in this cold wind howling environment.
This was already the fourth airship that passed in the sky in front of them today.
In response to the request for help from the Western Xinjiang side, the first battle of the airship attack on the Heavenly Soul army commanded by Ma Rulong achieved good results, at least proving that the investment spent on airships did have the expected effect in the face of a large number of conventional troops.
But really to say how much the Sun and Moon Empire was a treasure after this war, and thought that it had found the weapon of the decisive battle that he had been dreaming of...... That's obviously impossible, humanoid soul guides, concentrating compression soul guide arrays, all kinds of high-level custom soul guide shells, and even sealed milk bottles urgently needed for army expansion, there are so many things in the hands of the Sun and Moon Empire that people are in a hurry, and a few airships are just icing on the cake.
Therefore, the initial plan of the Sun and Moon Empire was to build and improve at a rate of three months. This speed is not slow, and it was just like this when the soul masters relied on the accumulation of excess manpower to rub the first ship by hand without construction experience.
The change began when the situation in the Western Xinjiang gradually got out of control, although the fact that there was an unclear relationship between the Sun and Moon Empire and the Holy Spirit Sect was not a secret in the eyes of a top-level figure like an eighth- or ninth-level soul master, most people actually didn't have a clear idea of what kind of power the evil soul master had.
In the eyes of many soul masters who have never dealt with the Holy Spirit Sect in person in their lives and only know a little about the inside story, they must have hole cards that people can't give up if they can make the empire know that they have lost their worth and hook up for many years, such as Super Douluo, who has been difficult to give birth to in the Sun and Moon Empire, it is estimated that the Holy Spirit Sect must have two or three towns, right?
The last time the airship gang was dispatched, the Sun Moon Empire's initial concern was that it was afraid that the nascent puppet regime in Western Xinjiang would be sent away by the old empire of the Heavenly Soul Empire, which would inevitably cause the ground troops to be dispatched to maintain stability.
As a result, it was only discovered after the Mingdu side quietly investigated the situation of the Holy Spirit Sect's industry in Mingdu...... Most of their non-core industries are empty, only a shelf is left, and they are still relying on middle and low-level personnel to maintain their operations, and only a few core industries such as the Xishui Alliance can still see the figures of those registered Title Douluo.
Moving so neatly, then you still ask for help, just rely on the Contra Douluo under your command to rub those troops of the Heavenly Soul Empire to death hundreds of times, right?
Especially the various extreme reversals and cat-and-mouse spy war stories that broke out in the Western Frontier Kingdom later confirmed the speculation of the Sun and Moon Empire.
Some Soul Douluo have been sacrificed on the territory of the Western Frontier Kingdom, but according to the propaganda cases used by the Heavenly Soul Empire to appease soul masters and relieve everyone's psychological pressure, there are some soul kings and soul emperors who have been able to retreat smoothly after going through hardships and dangers, and even retreat with their whole bodies at the end of the incubation time. This already shows that in the tragic siege and killing battle led by the evil soul masters, the first factor that can survive is no longer strength, but prudence and luck.
And according to the memories secretly circulated by a certain soul emperor, the soul saint senior who took him to the Western Frontier Kingdom to perform the mission at the beginning was caught by the enemy who was brutally pursued in front of him, and was tortured to extract a confession such as breaking tendons and skinning.
You evil soul masters are so strong, you still need to deceive the Sun and Moon Empire to help support the field? A subject of your strength?
Damn, it's all Xu Tianran, who sent a group of rats with tails between their tails, who were originally rootless duckweed, to the table, and now this group of evil soul masters who already have unexpected performances have been able to gather resources and cultivate with the help of the state apparatus openly.
If it really reaches the point where it is the least optimistic, and the power of the evil soul master swells to the point where it is not only fearful but also terrifying, the Sun and Moon Empire will join forces with the Douluo Three Kingdoms to suppress the bandits...... It's unthinkable.
As a result, the airship, which could only be regarded as a medium budget priority, relied on its own characteristics that could be clearly attached to people's faces to carry out deterrence, and suddenly received additional resources.
Just like aircraft carriers, bombers, and nuclear submarines, they are all part of the strategic deterrence of multi-in-one nuclear strikes, but many people know more about and prefer the first two.
Because they can often appear on the edge of the national border even in peacetime, their appearance is a symbol of strength and fear, but in contrast, submarines need to hide their traces and characteristics as much as possible in peacetime, and it is not convenient to mock their faces.
In terms of the ultimate role of war, they may be comparable, but it is certainly better to play an additional deterrent role in peacetime and reduce the "cost of communication".
From the end of the last battle to the present, the Sun and Moon Empire has produced a total of three new airships. Counting Ma Rulong's Mingdu-class No. 1 boat, a total of four airships were all sent to carry out this escort mission.
The First Soul Master Group was scattered and distributed on four airships, and the people who went to the Far North to make a soul contract this time, including Huo Yuhao, were located on the third boat that was guarded in the middle.
When the Far North tour group returned for the first time, Huo Yuhao, as a tour guide, discovered something very interesting from the accompanying equipment of the First Soul Master Group.
There were several sources of soul power fluctuations that were detected from the Soul Emperor to the Contra level, always following them outside of their visual range. Although they seem to be strictly abiding by the demarcation line of the military access zone, it is difficult not to think about such a suspicious face-to-face investigation.
So this time, the Sun and Moon Empire directly chose to use four steel behemoths to escort the whole process. Each airship is equipped with a huge soul detection radar at the bottom, and even if there are ten airships, it is impossible to maintain the entire relay detection of the route from the northeastern border of the Sun and Moon Empire to the Far North at an altitude of thousands of meters.
But if you just want to ensure that the tour group is not spied on, the formation of four ships is enough.
The next moment, the No. 04 airship, which was at the end of the escort team, fired a fixed soul guide cannonball in the direction of several evil soul masters hiding in the taiga.
A certain evil soul master who had seen the airship raise the headquarters of the Heavenly Soul Empire's army was immediately frightened, but before they could run far, the bomb exploded in their stunned gaze, but it did not produce the slightest lethality.
There was a high-powered stereo that was slowly lowered from mid-air by parachute after the shell exploded.
The speaker, which landed right above their heads, was turned on and made a deafening sound.
"Attention unrelated personnel!"
"! Look at it again, and pull out your dog's eyeballs! ”
"If you look at what you shouldn't see, I'll send you a few rounds of Level 7 Customized Soul Guide Shells back to bury you on your grave!"
The evil soul masters hiding in the taiga pressed the long-prepared send button in their hands, and immediately hurriedly evacuated inland.
On the No. 04 airship, the division commander of the First Soul Master Regiment looked at several dots on the radar display screen representing the source of soul power fluctuations, and coughed lightly.
"The level is limited, next time I will consult a friend, and the scolding will be richer."
According to Huo Yuhao's experience of going to the Extreme North several times before, the accompanying soul power detectors of the First Soul Master Group could always find a few flies that followed and wanted to peep near the Far North.
This time, four airships were dispatched to form a formation, and it was finally quiet.
As for the soul masters who came to double select with the Extreme North Soul Beasts this time, most of them had seen this kind of giant flying machine that had condensed the top engineering experience of the Sun and Moon Empire for the first time.
The soul masters who saw these four airships for the first time at the airship supply station in the northeast of the Sun and Moon Empire were so shocked that they were speechless and even almost fainted with excitement, and the reaction of the soul beasts in the extreme north was even more unbearable.
According to Huo Yuhao's instructions, the four airships docked at the predetermined junction with the Extreme North Soul Beast.
The eyes of the twin soul beasts were firmly fixed on the huge human creation that they had only heard of from the word of mouth of the Snow Emperor and the clansmen, and the state of mind that had been frozen in the Far North for thousands of years also trembled and excited at this moment.
The height of the Titan Snow Demon King Atai is about one hundred and twenty meters, and the length of this big guy in the Snow Emperor's mouth, which represents the engineering ability that human beings can produce continuously, is probably 2.5 Tai!
The soul beasts of the Far North are generally not known for their size, and when they only regard them as an incomparably distant existence in the human world, when they suddenly descend in front of their eyes at this moment, the hearts of each soul beast can't help but feel the shock of a myth coming true and coming to reality.
If humans can really create such a big guy in a few months, I'm afraid that the soul beast is not far from being smashed by humans?
The four airships maintained a detection formation and stopped in mid-air, they did not anchor and moored, but a famous soul master unfolded the flying soul guide from the cockpit and glided downward, landing in front of the long-awaited Extreme North Soul Beast one by one.
Huo Yuhao is still quite satisfied with this way of appearance. The soul masters who made cameo appearances in the airborne troops performed very well, and even without training, they could spontaneously arrange a very neat formation, waiting in an orderly manner to double select with the Extreme North soul beasts.
Huo Yuhao, who has traveled back and forth between Mingdu and the Far North many times. was already familiar with the process, and when he saw that the Extreme North soul beasts this time rarely bowed their heads, they hurriedly stretched out their hands and said:
"Without further ado, let's start the process now."
In the sky, the head of the First Soul Mentor Regiment and Ma Rulong, who were sitting in the airship, monitored the data on various sensors to prevent someone from sneaking over to disrupt the process.
Fortunately, their worries are not dangerous after all. Accompanied by soul masters who had previously signed a contract with the soul of the Far North, this time there were many soul masters who were interpreting at the same time, and the process of communicating with the soul beast was much smoother. In the middle of the night when the moon was sparse, Huo Yuhao and the spirit transmitters who came to follow and learn finally completed the final steps of the soul contract.
The soul masters hurriedly carried the corpses of their respective souls and flew to the cockpit of the airship. The night in the Far North is not kind to humans at all. If you hurry back to the Sun and Moon Empire by airship now, you will still have time to take a nap in the crew cabin.
Huo Yuhao was quite satisfied with the harvest of this trip, and the cost of signing the contract for the soul and the cost of recovering and disposing of the corpse was always a lot of income. Moreover, the airship also detected the Arctic Soul Beasts that were watching nearby but did not participate in the signing of this contract, and I believe that after they return to their respective groups, they will definitely describe the spectacular scene of the airship volley they have seen today, which will help the Extreme North Soul Beasts who still have doubts in their hearts to further unify the consensus.
"Everything goes well, let's leave for Mingdu."
Huo Yuhao commanded on the intercom between ships, and the four airships then slowly turned around and slowly walked in the direction of the Sun and Moon Empire's borders.
Even if he signed a contract of six thousand years of soul this time, Huo Yuhao's spiritual power was still very abundant, looking at the deep and vast night sky outside the window through the observation window. With a cup of strong tea in his hand, he felt as if he was on vacation.
In this season and place, you can already see the dazzling and magnificent aurora in the night sky, and the soul masters who can't sleep because of the excitement of the soul contract have watched the spectacular natural wonders outside the window side by side with their new partners.
However, Huo Yuhao's comfortable petty bourgeois enjoyment did not last long, and before the airship had sailed far from the predetermined location in the Far North, there were bursts of mournful alarms resounding inside the boat.
"All personnel are prepared for impact and hold on to fixations near their bodies!"
"The high-speed flying object is approaching!"
The voice of Ma Rulong, the leader of the formation, sounded in the loudspeaker, and one by one the soul masters hurriedly followed the order.
The high-power soul power detection radar on the airship was much farther than Huo Yuhao's spirit detection range in terms of soul power fluctuation source detection.
Huo Yuhao glanced at the results displayed on the radar detection screen, and immediately carried out spiritual detection according to the direction of the source of the high-speed flying soul power fluctuation displayed above, and shared the results shared by the spiritual detection with Ma Rulong and the other airship captains.
After all, the results of the spirit detection sharing were much more accurate than the simple soul power detection radar, and Ma Rulong, who was in a hurry to arrange defense means because of the incomparably sudden appearance of the enemy, couldn't help but be extremely shocked after confirming the details of the uninvited guest.
It was a "shooting star" dragging a long, fiery red flame across the night sky.
However, the speed of this meteor has not only reached above the speed of sound, surpassing the regular flight speed of Title Douluo, but what is even more shocking is that it has even exceeded the altitude of thousands of meters, and it is flying condescendingly towards the team of the Sun and Moon Empire above the cruising altitude of the airship.
And in the body of that meteor, there was actually a soul master with a hideous face sitting in its cockpit, gritting his teeth and pushing forward the steering stick!
The tail flame of the meteor was once again in full bloom, and it was obvious in the night sky even when directly observed with the naked eye, and at this moment it was even more dazzling than the aurora.
And that tail flame is not the flame produced by the friction between the meteor and the atmosphere, but the brilliant plume that bursts out with all its strength regardless of the service life of the soul power engine!
At this time, Ma Rulong finally figured out the full picture of the artificial flying object that was suspected of being a meteor at the beginning.
That's just a super-high-speed aircraft operated by a person!
In Ma Rulong's impression, countries other than the Sun and Moon Empire simply did not have the ability to manufacture such a high-altitude and high-speed flying machine. But when he saw the twenty-eight giant engines that were roughly tied to the tail end of the aircraft, and the rocket-like configuration of the aircraft, he understood everything.
No wonder, no wonder...... It turned out that the powerful bricks flew like this, and the soul master who was sitting in it and manipulating it had no intention of going back alive at all.
Huo Yuhao, who was exerting his full strength to detect and share, couldn't help but be a little confused, he never remembered that the Douluo Three Kingdoms had used such a somewhat technological method in the war.
Is this being targeted by cherry blossom bullets? Where did the kamikaze come from?
The soul power engine is not an invention unique to the Sun and Moon Empire, and its threshold is not too high, but the difficulty is to continuously push up the energy efficiency ratio and the ultimate output power. Although the performance of a single engine in the Douluo Three Kingdoms is much worse, when the twenty-eight engines are tied together to do a suicidal charge with no return, the performance gap of a single engine is not important at all.
Although the airship has an extremely strong suppressive force in the face of ground targets, its weakness is also obvious, and at most some small anti-aircraft equipment can be arranged on the top, and it is impossible to arrange the gun barrel.
In the initial vision of the Sun and Moon Empire, except for Title Douluo, there would be no other target to reach the cruising altitude beyond the airship.
Now in the face of the suicide aircraft that charged over with "stars and moons", the entire airship formation fell into a rush, busy raising the flight altitude, but in the face of the opponent's extremely fast flight speed, it could only be regarded as a drop in the barrel.
The division commander of the First Soul Master Regiment opened the observation window of the airship and whispered into the microphone on his collar: "All those above the Soul King come with me!" ”
In the cockpit of the suicide flying machine, the hideous-looking soul master lifted the mask on his mouth, and used all his strength to desperately roar to vent his emotions.
Since the last time the Three Kingdoms Alliance was caught off guard and was defeated by an airship, the Heavenly Soul Empire has learned from the pain and has been thinking about how to deal with the seemingly inexplicable war machine that can only be dealt with with by Title Douluo.
The anti-aircraft weapons that can be used by low-level soul masters have been jointly developed by the Heavenly Soul Empire and the Star Luo Empire, but they only defend and do not attack, but they are not in line with the Heavenly Soul Empire's desire to take revenge. Eventually, they came up with a way to deal with something that seemed ridiculous, but surprisingly feasible if it didn't cost human life.
He is an incomparably loyal royal guard of the Heavenly Soul Empire, and when the emperor needs him to sacrifice his loyalty to destroy the enemies of the empire, he does not hesitate to sacrifice his life to carry out the mission of death and life.
"Celestial Locust, long live!"
The joystick was pushed to the top, the throttle was pressed to the maximum force, and the engine made a gasp at the risk of rapid scrapping. Even if he was hit by Huo Yuhao's mental impact that made him lose half his life and fall into a coma, he gritted his teeth and carried out his task to the last moment.
The soul masters who flew out of the airship didn't have time to intercept it after all, only to see the Nato flying suicide aircraft slamming into the No. 01 flying machine at the end of the queue, and the three seventh-level custom-installed soul guide shells carried inside it immediately detonated, and there was a zero-distance collision and explosion in the airship.
The blazing flames exploded in midair, engulfing the airship entirely. The soul masters in the other airships watched this scene in amazement, they never thought that when the soul masters no longer spared their lives, they would be able to exert people's subjective initiative to such a terrifying extent.
"Grass, fucking you guys hit the wrong person! There is this spirit airborne to Xining City to blow himself up! ”
Ma Rulong's scolding voice sounded in the communication channel, and when the nervous soul masters heard his voice, they finally let go of their high hearts.
When the dazzling firelight slowly dissipated, the figure of the No. 01 airship finally emerged. While its main structure had not been damaged, the energy shield that covered its exterior had dimmed. The energy supply bottles carried by the entire airship have been discharged by three Level 7 Soul Guide Shells, and a huge amount of energy has been consumed.
If this happens again, it is estimated that the occupants will have to be evacuated quickly.
"Dog, I didn't expect Lao Tzu to have a shield, right?"
The pilot, who had come with the determination to die, had been completely reduced to ashes in the violent explosion. Ma Rulong scolded and held his forehead to look at the lines of sensing data on the display screen, but then fell into shock, stunned and even a blank in his mind.
On the edge of the detection radar there is one, two, three...... Eight points of light emerge at the same time! and galloped in the direction where the formation was located.
Although Ma Rulong and the captains all felt that the enemy should not be able to cause such a violent explosion just now, and the Douluo Three Kingdoms should not have the strength to supply enough shells, no one dared to bet on whether they would be the luckiest.
All the soul masters who possessed the cultivation of the soul king or above had already jumped out of the airship, even the soul masters who had only recently signed a soul contract.
Even if the defensive formations of air interception had not been rehearsed, they spontaneously dispersed, protecting the airship formations from all angles.
It's just that everyone's hearts are extremely worried, the opponent's speed is too fast, and they may only have a thrilling round of interceptions.
Dazzling soul guide rays flew all over the sky, but in the face of the ultra-high speed of the suicide flying machine, it seemed to leak everywhere. Several soul masters belonging to the First Soul Master Group had already set up portable soul guide projectile firing equipment, and they had to pull the trigger when the suicide vehicle entered range.
Just as everyone was nervously aiming at their targets, a low roar sounded in the night sky that shook their hearts.
Some people follow the reputation, only to see a "hole" in the night sky that is different from the background color.
A huge bone dragon writhed out of it, and the divine light in its eyes, mixed with ice blue and pale gold, was more stunning than the spectacular plume at the tail of the suicide vehicle.
No...... And more than one!
The soul masters who were waiting for the battle were extremely shocked to find that there were eight majestic bone dragons, which actually jumped out of the black hole one after another, and rushed straight towards the flying suicide soul guide!
Like eight moving air fortresses, the eight bone dragons roared at a high speed to hedge against the suicide flying soul guide, and also launched a suicidal attack.
In the face of this variable that suddenly intervened in the battle situation, the soul masters sitting on the eight high-speed flying machines were obviously caught off guard one by one, and the intended target of the cannonballs they carried with them was the airship that made the Heavenly Soul Empire jealous, and what was the matter with the bone dragon in front of them?
The bone dragon that followed Huo Yuhao's order didn't give them more time to think, only to see that the huge white skeleton of Nasen directly crashed into the eight flying soul guides without evacuation, and then eight brilliant fireworks exploded again in the night sky.
As a safety measure to prevent accidental detonation, in principle, the custom-installed soul guide projectile must be manually detonated in order to exert its maximum power, unless the explosion energy level that caused the detonation is too high.
When the pilots of the eight flying soul guides didn't decisively press the detonation button when they were about to collide with the bone dragon, they would never have had the chance to use the full power of the random soul guide projectiles in their lives.
The division leader of the First Soul Master Regiment looked at the bone dragon that was slowly floating in the air after the explosion, and although it was a little injured, it was far from falling apart, and asked softly to the soul master beside him:
"It's ...... What's going on? ”
"You don't even know, what's the use of asking me......"
Even if they are not evil soul masters, many of the high-level soul masters of the Sun and Moon Empire still recognize the strange creature of the bone dragon. But no matter how you think about it, the Sun and Moon Empire does not have a tradition of raising bone dragons, and the soul masters who escaped in a cold sweat can't think of a reason for these bone dragons to take the initiative to help them.
"Ahem, don't think about it."
Huo Yuhao's spiritual detection sharing was connected to the spiritual sea of all the accompanying soul masters at this time.
A moment later, Huo Yuhao's gentle voice that reassured them sounded again.
"These bone dragons are all soul beasts that grow in the far north, and I called them to help. Now that the formation is safe, return home as soon as possible and do not linger. ”
"This hatred, wait until we investigate the ins and outs before discussing the future."
The soul masters who slowly withdrew their weapons looked at each other, no matter what they thought, the Far North didn't seem to be like a breeding place for creatures like bone dragons, right?
But since Hall Master Huo said yes, then it must be!
Huo Yuhao disconnected the spiritual detection sharing, and his face slowly cooled.
Today's experience reminded him of some bad memories, such as being captured by the Ontology Sect at Shrek Academy......
Finished! I'm surrounded by Diao people!
Why do people always want to harm me?!
Don't let me catch who betrayed the itinerary, it's definitely not as good as your juice to eat!
At the end of the other side of the sky, several evil spirits who were watching the battle from afar and were finally defeated without building an inch, were obsessively looking at the bone dragon that showed its perfect posture in the sky, and only felt that their hearts were pounding without any anger.
"It's so beautiful, Bone Dragon."
The evil soul master led by him looked at the figures of the injured bone dragons slowly floating in the sky, and only felt that even when facing the best qualified furnace ding he had ever used, he had never been so excited and crazy in his heart.
"Keep up with you, be careful, the Holy Cult must find out where their lair is! I'm going to offer a bone dragon to Taishang as a mount! ”
