After successfully meeting up with Dmitry and the others, Elrens and Cleo found the badly injured Eumenis in the ruins. The commander of the Pella Praetorian Guard had been hiding in the cracks of the collapsed buildings, fortunately dodging the rays of death. His condition was still stable, and his injuries improved greatly under the treatment of Oni's miraculous instrument.

The men and horses of both sides all gathered together, and after deliberation, it was decided to divide into several squads to find a place to hide before the enemy attacked. Wait for the enemy to appear and then attack from all directions at the same time, hoping to disrupt the rhythm of the opponent. So Elrens, Cleo and the others lay in ambush among the trees and the ruins of buildings around the Crystal Palace, quietly waiting for the enemy ships to approach.

It's the depths of winter, and although Delos doesn't snow due to the warm currents from the Inner Sea, the cold wind blows in the dark midnight and still makes people feel a biting freezing. The night sky was eerily silent, and even the air seemed to freeze. In the moment before the outbreak of this fierce battle, such a dull atmosphere could not help but make people feel depressed in their chests and their spirits were particularly tense.

Cleo and Ellens are leading a squad of aerial combat puppets in an ambush in a wooded ravine near the Crystal Palace. Perhaps influenced by the environment, Princess Celestia unconsciously slowly approached Ellens. Through the dense foliage, her big shining eyes stared at the starry sky outside, while the floating fleet in the distance was still silently suspended between the clouds when the dark shadow still did not move.

"Elrens~" Cleo squatted on the ground, his little face half-buried between his knees, and called out as if muttering to himself.

"Huh?" Ellens replied boredly.

Unlike the nervous mood of Cleo and the others, the dragon was in a relaxed mood at the moment, and he didn't really care who won and who lost between the Nicians and Pera. Of course, for him, he naturally hoped that Cleo could repel the other party, after all, if the Nicaeans seized Delos, the agreement between Olympias and him would basically be nullified, and all the ruins on the floating island would fall into the hands of the enemy, and he couldn't go to the Nicaean again......

Cleo didn't know what the dragon was thinking, she sighed and asked in a low voice, "You said that the other party was reluctant to start acting, what are they waiting for?"

"Who knows?" Elrens shrugged, "There are so many possibilities in the war! Maybe they are waiting for reinforcements, or maybe they don't dare to attack Delos at night, after all, night battles are difficult to control and can easily cause chaos, and the other side does not know that our defenses have been damaged." There may even be something wrong, they don't want to fight!"

"Don't want to fight? Is this possible?"

Cleo stretched out her slender hand and tucked away her hair, which had been tossed by the night breeze, revealing her delicate cheeks, which were white and red. She looked into the distance with a pair of big eyes, and after a while, she asked with a wry smile: "You said that if you continue to fight like this, can Pera win the war?"

Ellens didn't consider the other party's mood, and directly shook his head and said, "Can't!"

"Weishenme?!" The eldest princess was a little unconvinced, and stared at the evil dragon with big eyes: "Our Olympia Alliance has a large number of generals, strong people, the magic industry is more advanced than other countries, the capital Pera is dangerous and well-guarded, no foreign race has successfully broken the city defense for thousands of years, why do you say that we will definitely fail this time?!"

The evil dragon pursed his lips and said, "No, in fact, you know the reason, but you don't knowingly ask and want to seek some comfort from me." Now that the enemy is present, the Olympia Alliance cannot unite as one, but instead fights each other, if such a war can be won, unless the enemies are idiots!"

"But, but the other party is also not of the same heart, and they often pull each other's backs!" Cleo still refused to agree with Elrens, but her tone had obviously softened.

The dragon sat up from the grass, looked at the eldest princess with sympathetic eyes, and reached out and gently touched her head: "So what? Their army, financial resources, population, land, and other war resources are more than twice as large as yours! The battlefield is at the gate of your capital, can they withstand defeat? In this situation, there is still infighting, if you want to win, is it possible?"

Listening to Elrens's words, Cleo couldn't help but fall silent. Her eyes twinkled, her expression lonely, and the fighting spirit and hope that had finally been aroused by her alliance with the Athenians were as depressed as if they had been blown by the wind.

But at this moment! Through the gaps in the dense treetops in front of her, she suddenly saw that the shadow of the giant ship seemed to move slowly among the clouds in the distance!

Could it be that I'm dazzled?!Cleo immediately rubbed her eyes nervously, and then widened her eyes to take a closer look--that's right! Celestia's heart suddenly rose to her throat, and the enemy ships were really moving! The battle was about to begin, and the Nicaean fleet, which had been hovering in the sky, was finally about to attack! No...... Wait!weishenme only has one medium warship and a few small ships moving, and the others are still unresponsive, what the hell are they doing?

Just as Cleo's eyes widened and he was full of doubts, Elrens also leaned over and said, "The other party has made a move, but it doesn't look like it's going to attack in a big way, do you know what they're going to do?"

"It's not very clear. Cleo shook his head, frowned, and said, "It may be to confuse us, but it's more like a tentative attack, with the aim of finding out the defensive flaws of Delos." ”

While the two were talking, the communication crystal ball next to them suddenly flickered, and then Oni's voice was a little flustered: "Sister Cleo, the other party is starting to move, what should we do next?"

Cleo took a deep breath, then picked up the crystal ball and comforted her in a firm tone: "Don't panic yet! Although the defense system on our Delos Island is damaged, the other party does not know that they dare not press the whole army at once, but divide their forces to test it, which is exactly what we want! You just need to continue to pay close attention to the movements of the Nicaean battleship in the control room, and concentrate your firepower to attack the opponent when needed!"

Hearing that Cleo seemed to have a plan in mind, Oni's heart also settled down a little, and then asked, "What about you?

Cleo thought for a moment and said, "No, since the other side has divided its forces to test it, then we can't expose the full distribution of forces too soon. Wait a while, we only need our team to attack, and the other teams will stay where they are and get ready, waiting for further orders!"

"Understood!" Ernie nodded, whose image was blurred in the crystal ball: "I'll pass on the new Jihua immediately!"

Perhaps unaccustomed to night battles, or perhaps very jealous of Delos' ancient magical defense system, the Nicaean fleet was extremely cautious in its movements. They sent two detachments one after the other to launch a tentative attack in the north and south directions of the floating island.

When the first detachment was finally about to enter the absolute firepower coverage of the Delos defense system, Cleo, who was already sitting in an aerial combat puppet and ready to attack, immediately shouted at the crystal ball in his hand: "Go!!"

In an instant, more than a dozen bright fires suddenly appeared in a large area of its hiding place, and a large number of trees that had originally covered the ground were blown away, revealing the graystone-colored hard body of the huge air combat puppet hidden below! With the sound of the rumbling magic device running violently, the fire spewing out from behind the air combat puppet became more and more dazzling, and Zuihou took off one after another, rushing towards the enemy fleet in the sky with a piercing sound of breaking wind!

After a brief explanation and analysis of the key points of air warfare by Cleo not long ago, the Athenian warriors learned the wrong lessons of the previous fiasco. They abandoned the tight formation, which was susceptible to concentrated firepower, and selected six planes as the main attack, twelve as wingman cover, and scattered every three air combat puppets as a small formation, attacking simultaneously from all directions.

As the first air combat detachment to intercept enemy ships, Cleo has eighteen of the most powerful air combat puppets. Among them, the puppet she personally controls is called Thunderbolt III, and the overall shape resembles a huge mechanical eagle. The well-viewed control pod, located at the top of the forward end, can accommodate up to four crew members, a captain, a controller, a fireman, and a reserve.

Princess Celestia commanded the battle as captain, while Elrens sat next to Cleo as a reserve, supported by two Athenian warriors in front and behind. This high-altitude weapon, which combines the modern magic technology of Athens and the restoration of the old Shijie relics, is quite sharp, its armor is thicker than that of ordinary small floating warships, and its firepower is stronger, but its actions are much more flexible than that of large and medium-sized warships, as long as there is a sufficient number of crews and the tactical arrangement is appropriate, it is not impossible to repel the opponent's fleet!

At this time, the main heavy cruiser of the opposing detachment, the "Trebizond", soon saw that the air combat puppet had taken to the air to attack. Then they were surprised to find that the Athenians had changed their tactics this time, and instead of charging in dense formations, they were scattered and attacked from all sides!
