Chapter 877: Fierce Battle Above the City (Part 1)
"Aim at the front combat airship, launch!"
Following Lei Xiao's order, all the subordinates of the main force and our strongmen stretched out various staffs to guide their high-firing spells to the targets in the sky.
Dazzling magical rays of light began to compete to light up on the dark mountain top.
I saw the high-firing spells cast by the subordinates, either condensed out of thin air on the top of the staff, or launched a large-scale magic circle that contained attacks, causing waves of impressive energy to ripple.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The golden light beam brewing at the top of Ariel's staff roared towards the target first.
The anti-aircraft spells of other subordinates and powerhouses also shot out one after another.
Just like meteors of various colors dragging their tails, they converged towards the airship fleet that gradually became clear in the night.
As for Lei Xiao, he also activated several fourth-order attack scrolls at once, and also directed all the spells to targets high in the sky.
For a moment, Ariel's golden light beam, Orr's light yellow wind cannonball, Zhao Yan's fiery fireball, Lina's smooth bone gun, and various spells fired by Lei Xiao and other powerhouses cast a dark night The reflections are colorful, and the momentum can be described as quite impressive.
I saw our soldiers fighting fiercely on the city wall battlefield, seeing that the attack on the executioner in the air had begun, their morale soared, and they began to cheer.
However, Lei Xiao and his subordinates on the top of the mountain could clearly feel it.
Under the weakening of the energy driving circle, the spell strength has weakened to a certain extent, and the fourth-order powerhouse can still improve a little bit.
And the anti-aircraft spells of the third-tier powerhouses, although they were very powerful at the beginning.
But in the process of galloping, it was still weakened visible to the naked eye, making the brilliance obviously not as good as before.
In the blink of an eye, more than 20 high-firing spells shot out by Lei Xiao and the others shot straight into the sky and collided fiercely with the leading combat airship.
boom! boom! boom!
There was a deafening explosion.
Accompanied by most of the anti-aircraft spells, they are accurate hits.
A series of violent explosions immediately swept across the target combat airship, causing the huge hull to shake violently.
However, although the momentum is quite good, it is nothing more than that.
I saw that after the gunpowder smoke gradually dissipated, although the magic streamer covering the huge hull was already extremely dim.
But it was still not completely smashed, so the target airship was still safe and sound, and soon resumed normal navigation.
"Is that so?"
Looking at this scene in the sky, Lei Xiao slowly took a deep breath, his eyes became more serious.
Anti-aircraft magic will gradually weaken with height, coupled with the weakening of the driving circle, such a double blow.
Even if it is the magic cast by a fourth-tier powerhouse, its strength may not be much higher than that of a normal third-tier powerhouse.
In this case, as long as the opponent's defensive cover reaches the fourth level of strength, it will be difficult to be defeated in one fell swoop.
"Don't stop, keep casting spells!"
Even so, Lei Xiao had no time to think about anything else, and immediately prepared for the second attack.
Lei Xiao clearly understood that after the attack was launched, the location here had been exposed.
It is necessary to start the next wave of attacks as soon as possible before the opponent launches a counterattack here.
At the same time that Lei Xiao and his group were doing their best to cast the second round of spells.
The instigator of all this, the Black Duke, saw this, and his face hidden under the hood was full of jokes.
These 50 combat airships are all veterans who have experienced many battles, and each of them is blessed with an extremely impressive absolute defensive enchantment, especially the resistance to anti-aircraft spells.
With such a well-prepared situation, coupled with the weakening of the energy driving circle, it is not easy for the city lord of Kongqing to successfully destroy a combat airship with only a half-tone air defense force?
Furthermore, so what if a few ships are destroyed? The nightmare has just begun!
"Hehe, City Lord Kongqing, give up, your end has come."
Black mist filled the surroundings of the Black Duke, and while holding on to Hong Ye who wanted to escape several times, he became mad in his heart.
"No one can defeat this huge air fleet, this time the humble outsider will definitely die!"
"Hahaha! The mantis is like a car, and it is beyond its control!"
At an altitude of 10,000 meters, in the cockpit of the flagship airship in a corner of the huge fleet.
A fat middle-aged strong man with a swollen face and a black triangular captain's cap sat leisurely on the command seat, also full of joking expressions.
He is the commander of this airship fleet, Chad, the second commander of the Air Thief Blood Skull.
Chad crossed his legs, raised the goblet in his hand, drank the bright red liquid in one gulp, and laughed contemptuously: "Even the regular army of the Kingdom of Greem and the Iron Hand Islands, see you!" We all have to stay away, let alone a bunch of trash who don't even know what it is to fight in the air!"
"Master Chad is right, the little princess of Leng Yan and the group of wastes of the city lord Kongqing, are they the opponents of Lord Chad?"
A skinny adjutant with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks came up with a wine bottle, poured the wine for Chad first, and then echoed: "As long as you blow up the city of Star City and the ants below, the original city of the Lord Kongqing will be completely destroyed." It's up to me to deal with it!"
"Fanyin City, Songlin City, Lan Leng Fort, Kongqing Town, Magneto Town, Mailan Town, and Luolong City... To plunder so much wealth and women seems to be enough for us to work for a while."
The smile on Chad's greasy and fat face was a little more wretched, and he shook his head leisurely and said: "Fortunately, the prince Lengyan is a stupid prodigal, otherwise we wouldn't get this piece of fat, If this kind of thing can be crowned king, it would be a big joke, hahaha!"
"What Master Chad said is very true. Such a good errand is rare in a hundred years. Brothers can't wait to show their skills."
The skinny adjutant smiled, licked his chapped lips and said, "I don't know what the lambs of the Lengyan Kingdom are like. It's really exciting."
"Don't worry, it won't be long before we can have a good taste."
Chad put down the goblet in his hand, a cold arc was drawn at the corner of his mouth on his fat and murderous face.
"Castle Master Kongqing, and that little princess Leng Yan, if you meet this Commander, you will be unlucky. Your corpse will be trampled by this Commander. Everything you have worked hard will be owned by this Commander!"
After finishing speaking, wild and unscrupulous laughter resounded throughout the cockpit.
"Send the order, send all the pterodactyl puppets to destroy that kid's air defense position!"
"emission!"
Under the cold moon, on the top of the mountain where the waves of magic are surging.
With Lei Xiao's big wave of his hand, the second wave of attacks has already been fired, turning into dazzling and deadly rays of light, and still focusing on the frontmost airship.
This time, there was only a burst of "crash clatter" the sound of the barrier breaking.
The battle airship in the front finally exploded with a dazzling burst of flames, like a huge burning fireball, it fell obliquely and at an extremely fast speed.
Because of this huge fleet of airships, they came across the Songyin Mountains.
Therefore, the empty boat that quickly burned up in the air, like a shriveled rag bag, quickly fell into the valley, causing a violent explosion.
"Very good!"
Seeing that the opponent was successfully shot down, Ariel immediately cheered and jumped up, with a look of joy on her face.
On the other hand, Lei Xiao's tense face didn't show any ripples, instead, it became more solemn.
According to the speed of the opponent, before the enemy fleet, which symbolizes death, reaches the sky above Wangxing City.
Our side can shoot down one-tenth at most, that is, the size of 5 ships, which is obviously a drop in the bucket for a huge fleet of 50 ships.
This is still the ideal situation without any interference from the other party.
In addition, after the airship was shot down, the opponent quickly readjusted their formation without showing any panic.
This undoubtedly means that even though they are notorious air bandits, the professionalism of the opponent's fleet is by no means inferior to those of the powerful regular army fleet.
"It seems that things are much more difficult than imagined."
Lei Xiao just frowned at this thought.
From the mighty airship fleet at high altitude, a group of black shadows like locusts suddenly flew out, galloping straight towards the mountain where Lei Xiao and the others were.
"My lord, it's a pterosaur puppet!"
Chao Yan soon discovered the true colors of the group of black shadows, fixed Liu Mei and said: "The number is around 50, all of which are at the third level!"
"It seems that this is the **** force of the other party. Let them get closer, and then we will contain them and try to kill them all. This will undoubtedly reduce the pressure on our air combat forces."
The staff of nature in Lei Xiao's hand flickered with lightning, and the faint sound of thunder began to come from the top of the staff.
After finishing speaking, Lei Xiao waved his hand casually, and all the archers with magic arms flashed out, and began to draw their bows and nock arrows one after another.
Hearing Lei Xiao's order, the other subordinates also chanted in a low voice, ready to fight.
Lei Xiao clearly understood that the current situation couldn't be more obvious.
If we continue, there must be death and no life ahead, and we can only rely on another force from our side.
At the same time, on the other side of the opposite mountain.
Another dense black shadow sprang out at a high speed, but the direction was galloping towards the huge group of empty boats.
Under the moonlight, hundreds of puppet knights riding puppet griffins and holding slender lances gradually became clear.
It was the 8 second-tier sky knight squadrons summoned by Sarah and Xiao Zhao.
Under the control of Shala and Xiaozhao, 800 Tier 2 sky knights lowered their bodies one after another, lowered their lances, and charged directly towards the right flank of the airship group.
This is undoubtedly the most powerful air combat force in Lei Xiao's hands, and it is also Lei Xiao's last reliance at this stage.
Seeing this, the first batch of enemy pterosaur puppets that first appeared on the front line just wanted to turn around to support.
However, Xiao En and other pterosaur knights and the sky pterosaur forcibly intercepted them.
The two sides chased each other high in the sky, and soon began a fierce competition.
Just as Lei Xiao expected, with the blessing of Sprinting Pill, the flying speed of Xiao En and others is obviously better.
Although the overall strength is only a quarter of the opponent's, with high mobility, the opponent has nothing to do for a while.
At this point, the enemy's pterosaur puppets were all restrained on the spot.
"Oh? The number is about 8 squadrons, and the strength is at the second level. Can you still summon sky knights of this size?"
Chad, who was in the cockpit of the airship, quickly noticed the appearance of our knight puppets by virtue of a special radar-like sensing circle, and smiled coldly.
"Unfortunately, this little toy can't do anything to the Commander."
Sensing the surging sky knights, Chad smiled contemptuously, without a trace of panic, but began to command calmly.
As the second-in-command of Kong Thief Blood Skull, although his personality is violent and cruel, he also possesses extremely good commanding skills, which is beyond doubt.
It was too late to say it, and as our sky knights got closer.
The dozens of airships on the right flank of the huge airship group suddenly became brilliant.
Immediately afterwards, a series of fierce long-range attack spells, mixed with special magical artillery fire, began to shoot towards the sky knights like a violent storm.
Facing the roaring deadly spells, they exploded around them one after another. Many sky knights who were caught off guard were directly crushed and turned back into energy particles floating in the air.
Although in the process of approaching the opponent, Lei Xiao specially instructed Sarah and Xiao Zhao to use a looser forward formation first, so as to avoid the opponent's attack as much as possible.
But because the opponent's firepower is too powerful, especially the range attack of the boat's magic gun.
Therefore, before our sky knights arrived, they still inevitably lost more than one-third.
However, under the clever and subtle control of Sarah and Xiao Zhao.
Although the opponent's attack became more and more violent, our sky knights galloped around in the night and quickly reached the opponent's flank.
"Let me see how powerful the classic cavalry flanking tactics can be in the sky."
Without hesitation, Lei Xiao directly ordered Sarah and Xiao Zhao to attack.
After receiving Lei Xiao's order, Sarah and Xiao Zhao condensed their minds, reorganized the remaining sky knights into 5 squadrons, and then attacked the 5 nearest huge airships.
When they got close, extremely sharp lances were thrown from the hands of the knights one after another, shooting towards the target.
Naturally, Lei Xiao would not allow a limited number of sky knights to charge directly at the airship protected by an absolute protective barrier, that would be like moths to the flame.
After all, these giants in the sky are completely different from ordinary enemy soldiers.
On the other hand, concentrating hundreds of cavalry spears to attack one point may not be much less effective than a frontal charge.
As long as the opponent's defensive barrier can be broken, the fragile and huge inflatable hull will undoubtedly become the best target.
On the increasingly splendid air battlefield, we saw our sky knights rushing left and right among the airships against the opponent's continuous lasing attack spells.
Just like a flexible small fighter plane, the old lance was thrown, and the new lance was condensed in an instant, and then the next wave of attacks came.
Sure enough, just as Lei Xiao expected, under the intensive projectile attack.
Not long after, the defensive barrier of the combat airship was shattered ~ and began to fall crookedly into the deep mountains.
However, under the dense barrage of the opponent, the losses of our sky knights became more and more serious.
After shooting down the opponent's 10 airships one after another, there are very few left.
"Are there still 39 ships?"
Lei Xiao looked at the group of empty boats and sporadic sky knights overhead, and began to sweat profusely.
The opponent is not injured, but our main air combat force has almost been lost.
This undoubtedly means that destruction will still come as scheduled.
Just when Lei Xiao clenched his fists and began to feel devastated.
A familiar figure had quietly appeared behind him.
