Due to the fact that the air warships performed extremely well in various battles, the people of the entire Western Continent understood the importance of air superiority. When the demons aggressively want to invade their homeland, and the Protoss is almost half-crippled after civil strife, the air warships that can confront the Protoss rebels head-on have become the hope in people's hearts. However, despite the advice of many of her ministers that Alicia build such powerful warships on a large scale, the little queen chose to slow down the expansion of the army so that more of the funds in the treasury could be used to develop the war-torn economy.

None of the people who are reckless in military force will end well. What's more, although the air warships are OP and the deterrent power is also unique, when the alliance breaks away from the cover of the naval fleet and attacks the depths of the continent of Taranmere, they cannot provide timely support to all the troops distributed on a wide front.

This is true even if the number of warships doubles.

However, there are many people who do not understand Elicia's thoughts, and they blindly believe that they can completely defeat the demons with just the air warship, so they can't help but be crazy about the little queen's careless allocation of funds to build warships.

However, when commanding the Alliance's main fleet and the Dark Empire's army under Randy's command, a certain reward in the resulting mission gives a hint to the girl who is struggling with future land battles.

The aircraft carrier, and the carrier-based aircraft on it.

Using the technology of an air battleship to build an aircraft carrier that can fly in the sky, coupled with even an old-fashioned propeller aircraft, the range of air strikes and support is definitely not comparable to that of ordinary air warships that rely on main guns to plow the ground. And with the technology of today. It's entirely possible to do this.

By chance, Alicia got some blueprints for modern weapons from Mai Trin's world, which accelerated the research and development process of the Technology Development Department - but the tech nerds had no idea about aerodynamics at all. The development of propeller fighters has reached a dead end.

It wasn't until a few days ago when Hannah attacked the Technology Development Department in an attempt to seize the non-existent insect eggs that a frightened goblin hid in the shelter with the information at hand, and looked through the documents about the floating equipment and aircraft used on the aerial warship in boredom, and thought about the design of the two together, and then things went smoothly.

In other words, the fighters in front of Alicia and the others did not "fly", but floated up using the floating equipment placed under the belly of the aircraft and then moved forward with propeller power...... The whole is a simplified version of the airship.

When I first heard about this design. The little queen was suddenly born by Lei De, and the second Buddha ascended to heaven. But Dibis didn't care how unmarked and disconnected this weapon was compared to its original design, and when they learned that the machine in front of them could fly, most of them immediately fell into a state of ecstasy.

"Don't get excited. Let me give you a detailed introduction. Peacock Dance pressed his hand to signal the excited crowd to calm down and said, "The current fighter is divided into two types, and the first model is temporarily named 'Thunderbird', which is the big guy you see now. It's slower. It's not very flexible. However, it can carry eight heavy crystal bombs, and only one of them can annihilate a large group of cavalry in the open. Despite the installation of two airborne cannons that miniaturized energy compression weapons for self-defense, its aerial combat capabilities are still horribly degraded. ”

Dibes nodded while looking up at the beautiful fighter plane painted sky blue: "I see, is this what Her Majesty just said about 'flying over the enemy army and dropping a large number of magic crystal bombs on their heads'? ”

Alicia smiled slightly, "That's right. Although the speed of the Thunderbird fighters is relatively slow, they are also much faster than the air warships, and they can form a strike range that the battleship has no match for at all. Although it is not possible to provide a continuous fire output. But the power of the magic crystal bomb is no less than the main cannon of the battleship, that is, the number of cannon fodder in the demon race's sea of cannon fodder composed of undead, demonic beasts and low-level monsters should be wiped out in the air attack. Even if there are some strong guys mixed in. How much can they do when they are blown up and isolated? Moreover, who said that such fighters can only be used to drop bombs on the heads of ground troops? You may wish to imagine the situation in a naval battle when the banshees fly the fighters and drop bombs on enemy ships, it will certainly be very interesting. ”

The blue-haired handsome guy was already in a cold sweat at this time, and he couldn't help but secretly rejoice in his heart that the beautiful girl in front of him was not from the demon's side.

The Peacock Dance, who was interrupted by the commentary, coughed lightly in dissatisfaction, and after everyone's attention was back focused on himself, he brought them to a nearby plane that was much smaller than the Thunderbird: "This is the second type of fighter, temporarily called 'Silver Pegasus'." The complete opposite of the Thunderbird, it is fast and very maneuverable, with six on-board guns that can use its nimble movements and powerful firepower to tear enemy air units to shreds. Do you still remember the giant squid-headed monster that could fly and pose a great threat and trouble to the air warships in the previous naval battles? If you encounter them again this time, the Silver Pegasus fighter will definitely make them look good. ”

"This—this is simply a mighty mount that can fly freely in the blue sky!" Angel's whole body suddenly became excited, and she decisively walked to Alicia's side and clenched her fists hard and pleaded, "Your Majesty, I hope to join this army!"

"Girl, isn't it possible that your knight's soul is starting to burn?" Alicia quipped meaningfully with squinted eyes, "Sister Anqi, I understand your feelings, but flying a fighter plane and driving a horse are completely different things......"

"At the very least, please let me try! If I don't even try, how do I know if I'm a good fit?"

"Well, since you've said so, let's give it a try. The little queen nodded and promised, "Sister Wu, you can help her arrange it." Then again, how many fighters did you bring this time?"

"45 Thunderbirds and 20 Silver Pegasus. Enough to take part in large-scale battles. Peacock Dance muttered as she looked out at the ocean in the distance, "But Alicia, can these planes really withstand the ravages of a hurricane?"

The blonde girl immediately shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly: "If it's a hurricane before." Of course not. But now that the key super giant magic array has been damaged to a certain extent, the hurricane facing the western continent has weakened a lot, so it shouldn't have any impact. Besides, if it weren't for the weakening of the hurricane, the alliance wouldn't have been able to advance so quickly. ”

Peacock Dance had just settled down, but An Qi next to him took a step forward and reminded: "Your Majesty, will the number of silver Pegasus be a little insufficient? ”

I even noticed that it could be used to protect the Thunderbird. He really deserves to be a knight. Alicia glanced appreciatively at her followers and smiled faintly, "It's okay, Sister Angel. Don't forget that there is also a large group of little Ace fans on the Imrith who are like members of the visual kei band, and they are the main force of the current alliance's air fighting force. Match the anti-aircraft guns of the dragon and the air battleship. It's enough to deal with the flying monsters of the Dark Empire. And didn't I say it before, this battle is just to test the performance of new weapons in actual combat, not to let them steal the limelight. ”

"Hah...... I understand. ”

Remy, who was in her arms, began to make restless noises again, and the noble little queen decisively left everyone to coax her daughter. Until this time. Finally finding an opportunity to interject, Vasis cautiously poked her head out from behind Michelle. With a curious gaze, he looked at the delicate machinery in front of him: "Are these weapons really that powerful?"

Imrith next to her replied casually, "At least it's much safer to attack in the air." That being said, it's important to check it out beforehand. My sister also arranged for the target shooting drill with this in mind. ”

"That's right. Peacock Dance nodded and continued, "And those of us who are just learning to drive also need relevant experience, so as not to be in a hurry when we actually go to the battlefield." Although we believe in our wings and claws more in battle, the times are advancing, and human technology is also developing, and we really don't want to sigh that we can make such a powerful weapon quietly. ”

Elysia, who comforted Remy, couldn't help but sneer: "Sister Mai, you shouldn't be in menopause." It's better to prepare for the drill if you have that kung fu, and don't mess it up when the time comes. ”

"Hush. Be careful that I tear that mouth of yours. When it comes to acting, you just wait to see the show!"

—————————————————— I am the dividing line for the preparation of the exercises——————————————————

There is a sea area near Paulais City that ordinary people basically do not visit, not because the scenery here is bad, there are no fishery resources, and it is not that there are pirates, but the alliance has turned this place into a military zone, and various training and tests are often carried out here.

Military enthusiasts are found in any world and era, and Drowlivan is no exception. From time to time, some idle guys (mostly aristocratic youths) gathered in groups of three or five to ride one or several pleasure boats into this sea area to watch the drills of the fleet, which made the officers in charge of managing this place feel a great headache.

After all, they are not spies, and everyone has a hard backstage, and it is absolutely impossible to catch them......; Do you know what whack-a-mole is, it's just that you just knocked on this place, and the girl came out of another place.

However, the responsible officer, who has always been extremely aggrieved, has finally ushered in the day when he can raise his eyebrows.

No matter how big the backstage of this group of officials is, it is not as big as the backstage of the officers today - because he is blocking the entire sea area by the will of Her Majesty the Queen of the Birea Empire, no matter who you are, don't even think of coming in!

Of course, Alicia didn't know the story that had to be told between a certain low-ranking officer and a noble youth, and after confirming that a large number of people had been used to completely block the sea, not to mention the yachts and fishing boats, there were not even people who were drifting with barrels, the little queen handed over the command to Dibes, and sat leisurely on the bridge of the newly built air battleship (aircraft carrier?) and played soy sauce.

This nondescript modified aircraft carrier has not yet been named, after all, nothing can be counted until it is proven that the fighters on board are capable of combat. In case the performance of the fighter is not satisfactory. The ship had to be rebuilt at the factory, and it would be ironic to give it a name or something before then.

Dubis didn't let the ship take off, and its flight system had been tested during its previous arrival in Paulade City. The blue-haired handsome guy followed Elicia's prompt to distribute the remaining fleet around the aircraft carrier for formation protection. Riding the wind and waves on the sea, he came to the exercise site.

"Here we are, little Ace. Alicia stood up from her chair and said to her little sister, who was leaning by the window and looking out, "Go to the deck." ”

"Wait, Your Majesty!?" Dibes, who was in the process of making the final confirmation, exclaimed on the spot, "Aren't you going to stay here?"

"It's your business to command the troops, I'm just here to inspect. The blonde girl pouted and said with a nonchalant expression on her face, "That's it, let's go first." ”

The embarrassed temporary fleet commander could only watch speechlessly as his irresponsible boss dragged his sister and disappeared into the aisle.

By this time, the deck had long been emptied. Ilya and the ground crew stood on the edge, nervously and excitedly waiting for the moment to witness history.

The first to be tested was a Silver Pegasus, piloted by Peacock Dance. The beautiful mech taxied to the very center of the deck runway. The propeller in front of the nose of the plane also spun into a circle that reflected the silver-white light in the sunlight, and the heavy roar of humming not only shook the eardrums, but also shook their hearts.

"Ah, yes, yes. Just in time. From the crowd came a sweet voice that Ilya was very familiar with. Immediately afterwards, Alicia pulled Imrith to the side of the young man with the stunned eyes of the officers and soldiers who were busy making way for him nearby, "What, it's unexpected?"

Ilya, who didn't know how to answer, could only nod silently.

"This is normal, you see, even Vacis, who suffers from androphobia, does not hesitate to run to a group of five big and three thick sailors and tiptoe to watch the excitement, so it is not surprising that I am here. Alicia said with a pause, "though she's hiding behind Michelle......"

Imrith laughed and parted her hand from her sister's hand, straightened up her hair and clothes that had been messed up when she was running, and said, "Sister, this is not a reason for you to leave the bridge casually. That being said, it is estimated that Senior Dibes is also ready for you to run away suddenly. Everybody's used to it. ”

"Woo woo, I didn't expect Xiao Yi to start hacking me too. The blonde girl immediately made a heartbroken expression with a very exaggerated appearance. Chong Ilya, who was standing in front of him, opened his arms and sobbed, "Hug me and comfort me." ”

Are you sobbing, why didn't I see tears in my eyes? Ilya, who didn't want to be beaten into a pig's head by the soldiers around her who looked at her angrily, stretched out her hand and touched Alicia's head gently: "Don't make trouble, Peacock Dance, she is about to take off in a fighter plane." ”

Alicia has never had much resistance to Elijah's touch. The softened little queen scratched the tip of her nose with her index finger and changed the subject with a flickering gaze: "Oh, sure enough, the person who is going to make the first official demonstration is Sister Mai." Let's see how talented the Harpy is at piloting the fighter. ”

Imrith couldn't help but hide her lips and laugh knowingly when she saw this, as for the others, well, even if it wasn't a strong flashbang, it still made many people cover their eyes and fall down with wails - but given Elicia's identity, no one came up to trouble the black-haired boy.

After seeing that Alicia and the others were also coming, Michelle carefully escorted Vacis to the front of several people: "Sister Ellie, I thought you weren't coming." ”

"Ah, of course it's coming, the atmosphere of the scene ...... Anyway, Michelle, you're really not hacking me, are you?" suddenly remembered what little Ise had just said, and Alicia couldn't help but ask embarrassedly.

"What are you talking about?" Naturally, he tilted his head decisively and showed a confused expression.

The little queen waved her hand speechlessly: "Forget it, don't care." Let's take a look at the dance sister's air show. ”

Everyone didn't have the heart to play their daily life, and everyone refocused their eyes on the fighter plane in the middle of the deck.

The roar of the engines grew louder and louder, and the horn of the bridge sounded the announcement that the fighter plane was about to take off and that the people on deck were asked to pay attention to safety. Everyone immediately held their breath and stared at the sky-blue plane, staring at it tightly, not even daring to blink their eyelids, for fear of missing even a small detail.

The bulge under the belly of the plane suddenly lit up, flashing with a faint and soft cyan light. Then, to the cheers of the crowd and the expression of Alicia being devastated by the thunderstorm, the fighter plane floated perpendicular to the deck like a balloon into the air, increased the speed of the propeller and flew forward with a roar.

It turns out that this cargo is a vertical take-off and landing!

Ignoring the congratulations of the ecstatic officers and soldiers around her, Alicia covered her head and even had the idea of finding a piece of tofu to test the firmness of her scalp at this time.

Fortunately, Imrith was by the little queen's side, and she noticed that her sister was a little abnormal, and she hurriedly asked with concern, "Sister, what's wrong with you?"

“...... It's nothing, it's just that it hurts. (To be continued......)
