The Crow's Nest cruised at an altitude of 700 meters, crossing the plains of La Buses and the Peak Mountains in the direction of Flamel.

Nolan stood on the bow deck, his black robes blown by the turbulence of the air.

The straight-line distance between Peak City and Flamel is actually not very far, but there is a barrier between the Peak Mountain Range, which usually takes three days to reach.

It's not the same if you take a flying vehicle, once you overcome the terrain obstacles, it only takes a day for Peak City to "blitz" Flamel.

Thinking of this, he looked at the vast mountains below, and a sense of conquest arose.

Don't be bound by natural hazards, as long as you master the sky, you can get this world.

And this operation to support Flamel will become a touchstone for this air force, and it will also be the first step for Peak City to officially enter the imperial stage.

"You seem to be very confident."

At some point, Rosaria came to his side, "Are you sure you can defeat Shattered Star City?" ”

Shattered Star City...... Nolan thought back to what had happened.

Back in Flamell's time, he had dealt with the emissaries of Shattered Star City.

Shattered Star is a staunch Roderick, and in order to help it gain an advantage, it will not hesitate to tear the skin of Flammel, who has been friends for many years, to assassinate itself.

And after Roderick decided to officially start the war, as a neighbor of Flammel, Shatterstar City acted as the main force of the rebels this time, and was the first to send troops to surround it.

If you want to support Flammel, Peak City will inevitably encounter Shattered Star City again, which can be said to be a narrow road.

"I've heard that Shattered Star City is the home of the Wind God."

Nolan said lightly, "It's just that I've dealt with their envoys, and in my opinion, their strength is no more than that. ”

"You've already dealt with each other?" Rosaria's eyes lit up.

The strength of Shattered Star City is among the best in the entire empire.

It is ruled by the minority "Wind Whisperers", and due to its special bloodline, the Wind Whisperers are rich in mages, and most of the awakened mages are wind, thunder, and soul.

Among them, the wind mages have the largest number and are also the most famous.

The ninth-order powerhouse "Wind God of the Army", who had fought with Roland I, was his representative.

For this reason, Shattered Star City has formed a "Fengshen Force", which is a special air force composed mainly of wind mages.

In fact, the "Griffin Knights" in the Imperial Capital, the "Dragon Knights" in Dragon Valley, and the "Anemo Troops" in Shattered Star City-

These three forces are the most powerful and famous representatives of the Roland Empire's air force.

In this battle, there is no doubt that Shattered Star City has invested in the "Fengshen Force", and this is also mentioned in the report submitted by the front line to the Imperial Capital.

Peak City also dispatched the air force, which meant that after the battle began, Nolan's Sky Regiment would sooner or later collide with Shattered Star City's Aeolus troops.

It can be said that this is a head-to-head showdown between the Air Force of the New Era and the old Air Force of the Empire.

If they can really win, there is nothing like this to prove the strength of the Sky Regiment.

And just listening to Nolan's tone, it seems that there has been a fight between them, and it is still the advantage of Linfeng City's side?

Rosaria didn't ask, and put the guess to heart.

Don't worry, maybe you'll get the answer today.

As the clock ticked by, by the afternoon, the Crow's Nest had already crossed the vast Linfeng Mountains.

Standing on the bow of the Crow's Nest at this time, you can see the shadow of the towering Flamel Tower at the end of the horizon.

"Already in the territory of Flamael." Nolan put down the binoculars in his hand.

"I'm going to prepare for battle, so I'm going to be out of company for the time being. For the sake of safety, please go to the bridge to watch the battle. ”

"Aren't you going to the bridge?" Rosaria was stunned for a moment.

She thought that what Nolan meant by preparing for battle meant going to the bridge to give orders.

"I still have work to do." Nolan waved his hand, leaving her with a dashing back, and turned to head to the preparation room.

As the captain of the Sky Regiment and the captain of the Crow's Nest, he certainly didn't have to take the lead.

However, one of his abilities is irreplaceable by other team members, and that is the drone component of the remote control Eye of Odin backpack.

In other words, only he can remotely control drones for reconnaissance at long distances.

It's not that they can use it well by adding drone components to the group, because drones use soul spells.

The remote control distance of the drone is directly affected by the mental strength of the remote controller, and with the blessing of the book of omniscience, his remote control distance of the drone is almost unlimited.

Others are different, no one in the Sky Group is a soul mage, and their spiritual power is not very powerful.

Using Psychic Resonance to control the jetpack during battle, and using soul links to communicate with telekinesis is already their limit.

If you go further and remotely control the drone to conduct reconnaissance, no one can afford it mentally - this experiment he has done before.

So to investigate this matter, he had to go out in person in the end.

The Raven's Nest has a large maintenance room, which stores the equipment and weapons of all the Sky Regiments.

However, at this time, the training room seemed a little empty, and the members of the Sky Regiment were already fully armed before they set off.

At present, in the maintenance room, except for a few Sky Regiment reserves in charge of logistics, only he is left, and Yuna who is silently following behind him.

She was still dressed in the maid's uniform dress, with a white Katyusha on her head, black over-the-knee socks and Mary Jane shoes, and a brown suitcase in her right hand.

If it weren't for the White Raven Mask and the Sun Knight Sword hanging around her waist, showing her unique identity, everyone would think that this was just an ordinary maid who accompanied her master on an outing.

"I'm ready to fight too, right?"

Seeing Noren take off his robe and ask the logistics to change into the Eye of Odin equipment for him, Yuna showed an eager expression.

"Don't worry, wait for me to open my eyes." Nolan smiled and put on the black raven mask.

The Eye of Odin gear activates, and the drone mounted behind it is detached from its backpack.

It flew out of the Raven's Nest and landed discreetly and quickly towards the ground.

……

Neil City is a small city in the southern part of the empire, and its strength is in the same echelon as Alto City, and the transcendent person of the town is an eighth-order knight.

Because of its proximity to Rommel, where Roderick was located, the lord of Neil soon agreed to join the rebel camp under the persuasion of the emissary-

Of course, is it forced or voluntary...... Then I don't know.

In short, since the beginning of the Civil War, under Roderick's orders, the city of Neil, like Alto, sent its own troops to participate in the siege of Flamel.

It's just that, perhaps, Roderick also knows that Neil City's strength is embarrassing.

Neil's army only needs to be stationed in the outlying areas near the Peak Mountains to complete the final piece of the puzzle against Flamelmel.

It's not close to the front line of the battle with Flamel, and there are no hostile forces coming out of the Peaks Mountains, so it's arguably the quietest battlefield.

Therefore, after a few days of besieging Flammel, the discipline of the army was quietly relaxed when the situation was calm.

Except for the necessary sentries on duty, the rest of the soldiers were playing cards and chatting to pass the time, waiting for the cooking squad to deliver the day's dinner.

"Ahh

On the watchtower, one of Neil's sentries yawned and looked drowsy.

"It's boring." Another sentry also complained, "How long is this going to be fought?" I don't know when we'll be able to go back.

"Isn't Shattered Star City very strong, we've been besieging Flamel for more than ten days, why haven't we captured it yet?"

"Don't underestimate Flamel, it's an ancient city with a thousand-year-old history." The colleague stretched out his finger.

"Seeing that Flamel Tower, this tower is equipped with the most powerful eighth-order alchemy array in the empire, and many waves of attacks on the front line have been repelled by this tower.

"In addition, there are reinforcements on the other side trying to break through our encirclement, and it is said that the casualties there are quite heavy.

"It's just that our side is close to the Linfeng Mountain Range, and there is no enemy who will support us from here, so let's be content if we can be lazy."

"It's also ......"

The sentinel looked up at the sky, and was suddenly slightly stunned.

At this time, it is almost evening, and the sun is moving westward and slowly setting into the Linfeng Mountains.

And in the direction of the setting sun, there was a dark shadow flying towards them in the backlight.

"What is this...... Flying Warcraft? ”

The sentry rubbed his eyes, a hint of uncertainty in his tone.

But if it's a flying monster, it's a little too big......

This is a height of 500 meters, but this shadow still looks conspicuous, and the body is 70 or 80 meters long.

Small Warcraft are not necessarily weak, but large Warcraft are basically strong - this is relatively common sense on this continent.

Therefore, the sentinel quickly made a reasonable guess that this black shadow was at least a powerful demonic beast above the seventh order!

"It turned out to be a monster, I thought it was an enemy army."

The colleague glanced up and relaxed, "What a fuss, isn't it a matter of course that there are large demonic beasts infested in the Linfeng Mountain Range?"

"Just ignore it, high-level demonic beasts have the dignity of high-level demonic beasts, as long as you don't alarm it, it won't trouble us."

With that said, the other sentry frowned and looked at the sky, still feeling as if something was wrong.

If this black shadow is really a demonic beast, its flying posture is inevitably a little too stiff, and it does not have the agility that a creature should have.

It flew in a straight line and unwavering direction in the direction of Flamel at a constant speed, as if it were ......

Some kind of huge flying machine!

But where did the empire come from such a huge flying machine?

Just when the sentry was stunned, in the sky, a black shadow that was flying at a constant speed slowly stopped in the air.

"It has been confirmed that the flag inside the camp is the Neil City unit belonging to the rebels."

Through the footage transmitted by the drone, Nolan gives orders to the Sky Regiment through the soul link.

"The Crow's Nest entered a combat state, and the starboard shipborne gun switched to annihilation mode to cover the target with firepower."

"Yes! The Raven's Nest goes into combat mode. ”

On the bridge, Julius adjusted the Crow's Nest to an angle suitable for starboard firing and began to slowly descend in altitude.

Leeds had led the squad on standby in the ship's gun area, repeating the order:

"Yes! The starboard shipborne gun switches the mode of annihilation and covers the target with fire. ”

The so-called switching mode is to change the bullet type and circle of "Crow Feather" and "Blitz".

In Sniper Mode, the Crow Feather and Blitz will be loaded with tail stabilized armor-piercing shells and Destruction Beams to deliver precision strikes against targets.

If you switch to Annihilation mode, "Raven Feather" will reload with fragmentation shells, and "Blitz" will switch to the "Sky Burning Flame" circle, which will perform area damage to the designated area.

At this time, as the Crow's Nest began to descend in altitude, many people in the camp of the Neil City troops began to notice something strange in the air.

"W-Is this really a monster?"

Someone questioned, "Why does the cyan aperture that lights up below look a bit like a magic circle?" ”

"Huh, what's the joke?"

Someone was not convinced, "Do you want to say that this is an alchemy machine?" Don't say Flamel, there is no flying machine such a huge in the entire empire! ”

"No matter what it is, it always feels hairy, so might as well report it to the regimental commander?"

"Could this be the enemy's latest weapon?"

“……”

There was a lot of talk below, and at this moment, the Crow's Nest descended to a height of five hundred meters.

This is already within the effective range of Sky Blaze.

"Open fire."

Locking on to the camp below, Leeds silently commanded his teammates through telepathy.

The team members held their breath and stared, aimed the crosshair in the shipboard gun scope at the enemy camp below, and decisively pulled the trigger.

There's nothing to hesitate about, everything is no different from daily training target shooting-

"Boom-"

The next moment, the sound of artillery fire and the light of flames were heard in the sky.

Three fragmentation shells cut through the sky and hit the three largest and most conspicuous buildings in the Neil City camp.

According to the reconnaissance information provided by the Nolan drone, these three locations are the headquarters in the camp, the armory, and the warehouse.

"Boom-"

The fragmentation projectile hit the target accurately, and the alchemical explosives in the body of the projectile were wrapped in sharp fragments and toppled the roof.

Then, like the breath of a dragon, three orange-yellow tongues of fire fell from the sky.

"Whoa—"

Tongues of fire spread as soon as they touched the ground, engulfing most of the Neal City forces in an instant.

The bone-destroying flames set the soldiers on fire, screaming and rolling, and the camp was a living hell the next.

And because they were hiding on a watchtower a little above the ground, the sentinels were lucky not to be affected by the heavenly flames.

Frightened by the sight before them, they shouted as they beat the gongs and drums on the watchtower:

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! ”

Now they knew that the dark shadow in the sky was not a monster, but it was too late.

No, perhaps the end was already predestined, and even if they were warned in time, they would not be able to prevent the enemy from attacking them.

This is a dimensionality reduction strike launched by the sky against the ground.

And they have no resistance and nowhere to run.
