091: Caught in both directions
"Captain, are we going to fight back?" asked one of the Empire's staff officers to the Pythia after successfully breaking through the first salvo of magic cannons.
"Our attack system has not been fully repaired, attacking the enemy at this distance will not be effective, it is just a waste of mana!" Pitthia shook his head and calmly replied: "Continue to move forward with evasive maneuvers, and then return fire after entering the maximum firepower killing range, the target is the flagship in the center of the opponent's formation!"
"Understood!" replied the staff officer immediately and loudly.
So the Empire continued to rush forward rapidly, and after several rounds of magic cannon salvos in succession, it finally entered the maximum killing range of the magic cannon. The air battleship then stopped its advance and quickly swung its head, its heavy magic cannons on the side of the city stretched out neatly, forming a parallel confrontation with the Nicene fleet.
"What the hell are they trying to do?" Watching the suicidal actions of the enemy ship in the distance, Narcisse frowned to himself and asked, "Could it be that the other party thinks that his new magic cannon has a longer effective range than ours, and dares to challenge our entire fleet with just one warship?"
As soon as Narciss's words fell, the magic cannon on the side of the Imperial flashed dazzling flames, and dozens of rays of light shot straight towards the larger air battleship in the center of the Nicaea fleet! A huge explosion sounded immediately, and the strong shock wave caused the Phrygian Dynasty, where the court magician was located, to shake violently a few times with the air wave!
The archmage of the court hurriedly stood up in surprise, turned his head to look, and saw that the air battleship next to him was in flames, surrounded by completely black smoke! Could it be that the new battleship of the Olympians is really so powerful?! Narcisse couldn't help but feel very nervous in his heart, but when the smoke quickly cleared in the morning breeze, he finally saw that the friendly ship next to him was almost completely undamaged, and all the other party's artillery fire was blocked from the magic shield!
The court magician breathed a sigh of relief, but still frowned and said: "What is so great about this Imperial Ship, but with the ordinary firepower just now, it is no different from our old warships, what is the new style? I really don't understand why the other party has the courage to rush up single-handedly to fight against our entire fleet!" It stands to reason that the commander of this Empire should have experienced a hundred battles, why is it that now, like a rookie on Delos, he doesn't know the tactics of air combat at all, and can only rush and fight?!"
"The opponent's attack system has not been completely repaired, and it is estimated that the salvo just now only exerted less than half of its power. Mendez looked solemnly ahead, and said calmly: "And they got the wrong target, thinking that the larger Isurian Dynasty air battleship was the flagship of the fleet, but they didn't know that we were actually in the smaller but stronger Phrygian Dynasty." ”
Speaking of this, the fleet commander turned his head to look in the direction of Delos Island on the other side, and sneered: "The reason why the other party dares to challenge our fleet single-handedly is not as simple as the courage of a horseman. I guess their plan is to have the Empire assault us first, and then send the puppet legions on Delos to attack our flanks when they have succeeded in attracting firepower. Delusional hope that with such a two-sided tactic, we can defeat us in one fell swoop! Hehe, it's really beautiful to think, but it's a pity that we are not fools!"
As soon as Mendez finished saying this, a large amount of light flashed on Delos Island and quickly took off, rushing towards the direction of the Nicene fleet!
Narsis fixed his eyes and saw that it was the Air Combat Puppet Regiment, and although the number of sorties of the other side this time was several more than when he intercepted the cruiser Trebizond not long ago, but even so the number was only about a hundred. And at this distance, the death rays of Delos could not provide fire cover for the puppeteers.
"What the hell is this?"
The court archmage asked puzzledly, "In the air battle during the day yesterday, the number of puppet troops dispatched by these Athenians was twice as large as it is now, and they still returned with a miserable defeat. Didn't they learn any lessons from this? Now with just an unrepaired air battleship and a hundred or so magic puppets, it is really overwhelming to defeat us with such a weak Liliang attack on both sides!"
The fleet commander frowned and thought for a moment, then analyzed: "Perhaps they were complacent about the small victory over the Trebizond, or perhaps the other side had already received the news that Melagaros's fleet was about to arrive! An attempt to defeat us first, and then turn back against the Eastern Floating Fleet!"
Speaking of this, Mendez shook his head and continued: "But it is impossible for them to defeat us with this method! Of course, we can't take it lightly, because the other party has improved the tactics of using magic puppets, which may double our losses! As long as we deal with them carefully in the future, we can completely annihilate them all with our strength!"
Narcis also breathed a sigh of relief: "This is really a rare opportunity, the opponent's puppet army has lost the fire support of Delos, Liliang will be greatly weakened, even with the addition of the Empire, it will definitely not be our opponent!
The two of them glanced at each other, and after thinking that they had a basic understanding of each other's tactics, both the fleet commander and the court mage felt that the pressure was greatly reduced, and the original nervous mood was calmed down.
A smile finally appeared on Mendes' face, and he ordered in a loud voice: "Pass the order, change the formation immediately!" The left flank is centered on the Isurian Dynasty and is responsible for dealing with the air combat puppets, and the right flank is led by the Phrygian Dynasty to surround the enemy ship Empire!"
Under the command of the fleet commander, the well-trained Nicaean floating fleet quickly changed formation, and in a short time it split in two. One of them, centered on the Phrygian air battleship, remained in place and surrounded the Reich, bombarding it with a continuous salvo of artillery fire. Although surrounded, the Empire did not flinch, fighting hard to fend off the opponent's attack while concentrating its firepower on the opponent's flagship.
The dazzling flames flickered, the explosions were earth-shattering, and the thick smoke filled the battlefield! Although the Empire was at an absolute disadvantage, with its powerful magic shield, it would not be destroyed quickly in a short period of time......
On the other side, when Cleo and Elrence arrived at the battlefield in the restored air combat puppets, the Nicaean fleet had already regrouped, and the right wing centered on the Isurian Dynasty was lined up in a tight formation, heading towards the puppet army!
When Cleo and the others entered the range of the fleet, the fierce artillery fire immediately bombarded them! Although the puppet corps had given up the dense formation at this time and changed to the form of scattered combat of each squad, there were still casualties soon under the continuous strong firepower!
In the Thunderbolt III control cabin, Cleo stared at the enemy ship group in front of him with a solemn gaze, and said with a frown: "I didn't expect the other party to react so quickly, it seems that their fleet commander is very experienced, and the air combat personnel are also well-trained." According to Jihua, most of the opponent's firepower should be concentrated on the Empire, but now that they are divided to meet the enemy, our tactics have not completely worked, so I am afraid it will be difficult to defeat the enemy in a short time!"
Elrens beside him saw that Princess Celestia was very nervous, so he comforted her and said, "Don't worry, as long as they didn't anticipate the existence of my legendary black dragon, no matter how strict the formation is, it's useless!"
Cleo turned his head to look at the evil dragon, but he was still not very relieved and said, "Are you really so confident, what if you can't solve the other party within the time limit of the secret method? If the battle drags on, once the Eastern Floating Fleet arrives, our end will be annihilated!"
Elrens smiled: "Don't think too much, now as long as you find a way to rush to the other party's flagship, I will take care of the rest of the matter, and I will definitely let these Nicaeans who don't know whether to live or die understand the fate of offending me!!"
Looking at the confident dragon, the eldest princess also felt a little more stable in her heart. She nodded, but suddenly realized that in a short time, she was going to kiss this guy......! Cleo's pretty face couldn't help but flush with two blushes.
Elrence immediately noticed Cleo's abnormality, and in a moment he understood why the other party was shy for no reason, so he teased her with a smile, "What are you thinking?
"You~ nonsense!" The eldest princess was suddenly ashamed, and immediately turned her back, and said in a coquettish voice: "I don't want to be with you and you! The reason why I did this was also forced to be helpless, I had to sacrifice myself for the sake of the country, and let you, the big pervert, take advantage!"
"So, even if you change to another man, if it's good for your country, you will be able to do it?" the dragon continued to laugh.
"How is that possible?!" Cleo turned her head sharply when she heard this, and her face turned red with anger!
She only felt a sour feeling in her heart, she didn't expect this guy to say such a thing! Who did he think of himself, a woman with a watery poplar flower? What a real exceedance, and he even offered his first kiss to him! I knew that it was better to kiss a pig! The more the eldest princess thought about it, the more aggrieved she became, and she was speechless with her big watery eyes, and she was about to hold back her tears
