The body nearly five hundred meters long is almost equivalent to two Hindenburg airships.And the other world's longest aircraft carrier is just a younger brother in front of this guy.
A 400mm short-barrel mortar cannon, 12 100mm secondary cannons, and 144 20-30mm anti-aircraft cannons together form its firepower system.
The barrel decorated its huge body like a hedgehog. No matter how you attack it from any angle, you will be treated by at least 20 anti-aircraft artillery.
In addition, there are 7mm caliber machine guns hidden behind the shooting holes, and the cabins that are suspected to accommodate carrier-based aircraft.
airship?
This thing is like an aviation battleship flying in the sky!
Chu Guang had no doubt that not only did it stockpile a large amount of ammunition and supplies, it must also be equipped with enough soldiers and crew members.
Otherwise, what would such a large size be used for?
You have to decorate something.
Looking at the photos the player exchanged for his life, Chu Guang couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
He was wondering if it was the Stone City, could he defeat such an unreasonable monster?
The option of peace can basically be ruled out... The opponent took the initiative to knock out our communication equipment, sent ground troops to attack our players, and immediately opened fire to shoot down our plane after it entered range.
Their reaction was very fast and decisive, and 80% had already made corresponding invasion plans.
Chu Guang, staring at the computer screen, unconsciously frowned, a hint of solemnity appeared in his eyes, and he muttered to himself.
Not easy to deal with Ah...
Rather than saying it is difficult to deal with.
It's better to say that there is no chance of winning.
With the current equipment of the alliance, it is more than enough to destroy a plunderer, but it is still too young to compare it with the forces that have existed in the wasteland for a long time.
It is true that players can be resurrected, but human resources are only part of the war after all. Without sufficient weapons, ammunition and supplies, no matter how much manpower is, it will be in vain.
People can hide in shelters, but the assembly line for producing weapons cannot be moved. Factory, farmland, and mines cannot be moved.
Chu Guang will not forget that his players relied on the iron pipe rifle rubbed by Boss Xia to barely kill a considerable number of plunderers.
Therefore, he could not let that guy fly over the head of Dawn City no matter what he said.
Staring at Chu Guang's face intently, Xiao Qi, who was sitting on the table, didn't say anything.It seemed to be hesitating about something, and it spoke with a silence.
Owner……
Chu Guang, who was thinking about how to break the deadlock, replied casually.
What's wrong?
I always feel that there are more gun barrels on it than the planes in your hangar.
Chu Guang's eyebrows twitched.
...I don't need to remind me.
Well... Xiaoqi doesn't want to ridicule you, but as your assistant, I must remind you when you walk into a dead end.If it really doesn't work... it's actually OK for us to hide in a shelter. The manager system does not stipulate that you must complete a certain task within a certain period, right?
Xiaoqi's voice was very light.
And it is rare to use it to download the weird voice package from the Internet of another world, but to use the electronic sound without ups and downs when we first met.
However, what Chu Guang unexpectedly expected was that the sound of the sound that should not be mixed with any emotions in theory made him hear a trace of unusual emotions.
Not so much advice.
More like
Pleas?
Chu Guang didn't think it was his own illusion or his own passion, but it was precisely because of this that he felt a little confused.
He never put himself in danger, nor abandoned this wastebasket, but it always seemed to be very insecure.
but.
Chu Guang still didn't plan to consider the last trump card.
It's easy to close that door.
However, there were too many things outside the door that he could not give up.
We won't lose.
But……
Analysis of paper data does not mean the final result. We have many cards in our hands, and it is far from time to consider giving up.
Looking at Xiao Qi who wanted to say something, Chu Guang stretched out his index finger and gently rubbed his head, and his confident smile dispelled the solemnity between his eyebrows.
Believe me.
Xiaoqi didn't persuade him again.
After five or six minutes, it whispered.
Then... what are you going to do?
It is not easy to win this war alone, and we don’t even know how many cards our opponent has.The most urgent task is to figure out how strong the airship's air defense firepower is and what their weaknesses are, and then we can think about countermeasures.
Chu Guang thought for a while and continued.
Plus, we have to do everything possible to tie our neighbors to our chariots.
……
Ruigu City.
The towering Heart of Steel slowly descended to a height, and the shadows sprinkled from the air were like a curtain, almost covering half of the city and the woods on the edge of the city.
It hovered at a low altitude of five or six hundred meters, and then four thick and long anchor chains were thrown from the airship and smashed into the ground below the airship like shells.
The anchor chain has been put into place.
After completely stabilizing, the abdomen of the airship was lowered with a chain-hanging lifting platform.
The soldiers wearing black cloaks walked down the platform in neat formations.
They are well-trained, sharp-eyed, well-equipped. Whether in terms of momentum or combat literacy, they are far from comparable to the legion's conventional clone troops, and they are the kind that can be seen at a glance.
The iconic black robe and the compact Warrior assault rifle in their hands all demonstrate their noble identities
They are affiliated with the Legion Air Marine Corps.
Steel conquers the sky.
And they conquered the ground.
…Move the supplies from the elevator down, and we will build a surface outpost before dark!If you don’t want to sleep in the woods, just move quickly!
Standing in front of the team, the man wearing a black exoskeleton roared loudly, urging his soldiers to unload the supplies on the elevator.
His name is Recher, and his military rank is the commander of the thousand-man, responsible for the construction of surface camps, as well as searching and patrolling nearby areas.
The logistics personnel followed the second batch of supplies to the surface and quickly entered the construction of the camp.
In addition to shovels, shovels and other tools, they also deployed two small excavators to the ground to carry out earthwork construction.
At the same time, two light tracked armored vehicles were also deployed.
The 20mm four-unit anti-aircraft gun carried on the tracked car can not only supplement the anti-aircraft firepower, but also provide mid-range support for infantry.
Not just to deter the wasteland tourists nearby.
It is also to deal with dangerous alien species.
Damn, I finally got off the airship and let the wind go... I walked to Rachel's side, and the man in a black military uniform squinted his eyes in a good mood.
He is the logistics officer of the Iron Heart Aviation Marine Corps, named Finod, and graduated from the same military academy as Raicher, and he was very coincidentally involved in the same airship.
It was just one went to the logistics and the other went to the Air Marine Corps.
By the way, why did you put down the excavator?
We have to stay here for at least three days. The enemy is in the dark and we are in the light. Although there is nothing to be afraid of for a group of barbarians, there is no mistake to be prepared well... This is the original words assigned to me by the staff. Let us build according to the standards of the third-level fortifications. In short, you should be careful.
I will.
Raicher lit a cigarette, squinted his eyes at the construction workers working on the camp, but his mind drifted back to the distant desert.
To be precise, it is an oasis there.
It is no exaggeration to say that life there is simply paradise.
Not only are there unlimited fresh and delicious fruits available, but there are also girls with hot bodies. Even the king's life is not as happy as them.
Here, besides the humid air, the poisonous plants, they are dangerous aliens, as cunning as foxes...
At this time, an officer from the General Staff followed the elevator to the surface.
He walked straight to Rachel and spoke directly.
Where is Heric?Why hasn't there any news about that guy?
Raichel shrugged.
I don't know, we have already fired the flare, and it should be back...unless, something unexpected happened.
He tends to be such speculation.
There is no reason.
It's purely the intuition of a soldier.
The officer frowned and said firmly.
We have to find him.
Raichel asked.
Can you determine his general orientation?
The officer looked through the documents in his hand.
The last time he reported the action plan was yesterday morning, when he was entering the Valley from Luoxia Province and was tracking a caravan.
Caravan?
The caravan has a target we want to capture.
Well, the caravan... I think about it, the caravan cannot do without water sources. Whether it is a camel or a two-headed cow, they have to drink enough to rush to get there.
Raycheer thought for a moment, looked back behind him, and his eyes stopped on a man with a cold expression.
Vito, take a few brothers to the nearby survivor settlement to inquire.
This guy is his most elite scout, good at using sniper rifles and traps, and his mind and eyes make him impeccable.
Although he was relieved to him by ten thousand, Raicher still gave him an extra reminder.
Remember, report to me immediately once you find the situation.
yes!
He saluted with an expressionless face. The man named Vito soon took his squad and set out in the south.
The officer of the General Staff looked at Raicher.
How long will it take to send me a message?
I don't know, but whether there is any news or not, I will contact you before the evening.
The officer nodded, said nothing, turned around and returned to the elevator, seemingly unwilling to stay on the surface for a moment.
Raichel doesn't understand these people very much, he likes the feeling of stepping on the ground.
At this time, Finode, who was standing next to him, suddenly said.
You said that Heric would have met someone from the company.
Raichel narrowed his eyes.
It's hard to say, but I hope it's time to finish the meal and go back early.
I'm afraid it's a bit difficult.
What's the meaning.
Finold glanced left and right and said in a light voice.
Our Captain seems not satisfied with the credit for intercepting the reinforcements of the enterprise…I heard that he intends to conquer the valley provinces.
Conquer...the valley?
The cigarette butt fell to the ground unconsciously, and Raicher opened his mouth wide in surprise.
This plan is really a bit whimsical.
He was not doubting the ability of Heart of Steel and General McClan, but he was a little confused about what the meaning of doing so was.
Here is a hundred and eight thousand miles across the territory of the Legion.
Fenold whispered at his surprised expression.
I was also surprised, but this was the captain's decision. You'd better give up the idea of being able to leave here in a short time... Also, don't tell others, let alone tell others that I told you.
Raycheer calmed down.
I will keep my mouth shut.
The cigarette butts that fell to the ground have been wiped out.
Raycheer glanced at it with some regrets and stepped on it to wipe it out.
Thinking of the task assigned by the staff, he was planning to take a few people around the camp, but at this moment, the air sirens suddenly sounded in the air.
The harsh whistle surprised everyone.
A look of surprise also floated on Rachel's face, but now is obviously not the time to hesitate.
Even though he didn't think anyone could pose a threat to the Heart of Steel, he still performed his duties and ordered loudly to his subordinates.
Air strike!
Looking for bunker!quick!
The soldiers and construction workers in the camp quickly ran away and fell behind the bunker.
A series of dense cannon sounds came from the top of his head, and Recher could hear that it was a volley of the 100mm sub-cannon.
Crawling behind the unfinished explosion-proof bunker, he took out his telescope and looked into the sky in the distance.He could see a little while his eyes passed through the gaps in the treetops.
Under the clear sky, orange-yellow flames lined up, and the explosion of thick smoke formed an airtight wall.
However, there are still five planes emitting black smoke, relying on their superb flight skills to break through the firepower net of the first round of volleys.
However, their endings are already doomed.
The other party seemed to have realized this, so he simply gave up the meaningless dodge and rushed straight towards the airship, and fired all the rockets mounted on the wings before the second round of anti-aircraft fire arrived.
The plane was blown into pieces without any suspense, but the dozens of rockets rushed towards the airship with their slender tail flames.
Raycheer had a strange feeling.
I always feel that the rockets launched by those planes look much more like something than the plane itself...
However, it is only a little bit.
In front of the Iron Heart, this level of attack is as ridiculous as a toothpick piercing an elephant.
He completely ignored the dozens of rockets. After destroying the remaining five planes, the airship stopped firing and allowed the rockets to bombard him.
Those rockets were almost hit.
However, just as they approached within 20 to 50m, they seemed to hit an invisible wall of air.
Most of them were deflected, and a small number of them died on the spot.
The flying fragments did not hurt the airship at all. The steel fortress standing in the air did not move at all. Only a faint layer of smoke slowly floated towards the airship, but it was soon blown away by the airflow.
The player hanging on the parachute had a look of surprise in his eyes.
...It's fake.
The latest airborne rocket developed by Goblin Technology did not cause any damage.
Was that thing just now a shield?
but……
Although the explosives were bounced away and the fragments failed to cause damage, the thick smoke from the rockets exploded blew onto the airship.
Blood oozed out of his abdomen, and although he was almost fatal trauma, it did not stop him from thinking.
Does it mean that only low-speed objects can get close to them?
Looking at the anti-aircraft gun aimed at him but did not fire, the player thought for a moment, took off his VM and the headset with camera function and tied it to the parachute.
Then he pulled out his dagger, decisively cut off the parachute, letting the airflow sweep away the parachute, and he fell freely towards the forest.
The VM can always be found by other players.
It is not a loss to be able to bring the information back.
Before they took off, they had never thought they could go back.
Anyway, I may not be able to survive like this. It would be even more ruined if I was brought back by breastfeeding and was locked in jail in half. It would be better to make up for myself and get it done quickly.
On the other side, in the unbuilt camp beneath the airship, cheers and whistles of victory rang out.
Raicher also stood up from behind the explosion-proof bunker, put away his telescope, and dusted the dust on the exoskeleton's breastplate.
At this time, a sound came from the headphones of the helmet.
What are the casualties in the camp?
The communication was sent by the Airship's General Staff.
No casualties...What happened just now?
Raicher answered confidently without even counting the number of people. After all, he knew very well that his subordinates would not be killed by the slightest dust.
Thirty planes approached us.
airplane?A hint of surprise appeared in Rachel's eyes.
Just a group of grasshoppers who have just learned to fly, don’t care... I gave you a mission, and we found that a parachute fell in the forest in the south, so you sent someone to find it back.The officer of the General Staff said in an instructed tone.
The pilot seemed to have committed suicide.Raicher reminded.
Although he didn't see it very clearly, he did see that the pilot cut the paracord.
The officer continued.
I know, but before he died he hung something on his parachute and we have to figure out what that was.
Raychel sighed and said impatiently.
OK…I will find it.
……
Katyn Station.
Next to the messy camp, the herders knelt on the ground and prayed, while some were dealing with the bodies on the ground.
The village chief of Mudeka, holding a faded pipe in his mouth, sucking bit by bit, his face full of sadness.
The merchants who smelled the danger packed their luggage and prepared to leave this place of trouble, and their busyness looked like they were escaping.
The mercenaries who had not decided where to go gathered together and discussed in a verbal manner.
Why did the Legion come here?
Don't know... I always thought they were fighting in the north.
Are you talking about the Expeditionary Force?They were finished last year, why don’t the chewing bone tribe come out?
This group of cockroaches crawling all over the ground... It would be no good if they were there.
Tail fiddled with the VM in his hand, trying to translate some valuable clues from the topics these people were talking about, but unfortunately, he didn't hear any nutritious intelligence.
At this time, Sis walked back from the direction of the well.
Awei, I'm ready to go.
Her left and right hands were holding a lifting kettle, and a pair was hung on her shoulders. The exaggerated weight was in sharp contrast to her figure.
But she had an indifferent expression on her face and hung a kettle weighing several kilograms on the truck.
This fresh water is enough for them to use for a long time.
Eh?Aren’t we going to wait for Brother Quanshui and the others here?The big white bear, who was removing the steel armor, asked in confusion.
Yes, but I can't stay here anymore.
Ruo Rou tilted his head and didn't quite understand this sentence.
Sis pointed to the tent not far away with his chin.
The people over there were watching them.
However, the moment she met her, the people quickly moved their eyes away.
You mean, they might betray us.Sesame said thoughtfully.
After seeing that airship, most people will think so. Anyway, I can't think of anything that can hurt it.
After a pause, Sce continued.
Moreover, even if they don't take the initiative to betray us, the people from the Legion will definitely come here to inquire about the missing soldiers... a few dinars can buy them.
Just finished speaking.
There were dense cannon sounds coming from afar, and there was another commotion in the camp.
This is the second time today... and unlike the one two hours ago, there were several shots in a row.
Looking at the direction where the airship poured out its fire, Sis frowned slightly, and a trace of uneasiness rose in his eyes.
One step faster than her.
He stretched his neck and looked into the distance, and was the first to discover the black spots with thick smoke coming out of them, and exclaimed.
gia!It seems to be our plane!
Well…I guess so.Sis looked at the VM screen, and thirty IDs appeared in the nearby player list.
But in almost a moment, only five were left online.
Wait, Tail's face suddenly changed. Doesn't this mean... someone has brought the new version of intelligence to the official website?
Sis was stunned for a moment, not yet recovering.
But the flesh beside him met the radio waves, and a frustrated expression appeared on his face, although it was not very obvious because of his thick hair.
Damn it...we discovered it first.
Is this time now?The cat's ears above her head were shaking uneasyly, and Sesame Bud urged with a smile on her face, "Let's discuss where to go quickly."
Even if there was no airship and there was such a big disturbance before, they were not suitable to continue here.
After discussion, the group decided to transfer to the forest area in the eastern part of Ruigu City.
There was a valley that was easy to hide and maintained a safe distance of twenty kilometers from the airship.
They will be there waiting for the Storm Corps to rush here before receiving a new order.
By the way, when passing through the southern suburbs of Ruigu City, the VM dropped by the pilot was recycled.
If you can find it...
……
After determining the location of the next stop, everyone no longer wastes time and speeds up the luggage.
Pointing a gun at Heric who was tied into rice dumplings, Sce tied him behind the carriage of the electric mule truck.
Looking at the blue-white face, she probably guessed what the person was afraid of, so she smiled faintly.
Don't worry, the road conditions here are very poor and the car is not driving fast.But if you deliberately procrastinate, you will be responsible for the consequences.
Heric's Adam's apple moved, and he closed his mouth and didn't dare to speak.
When he first saw the airship, he did fantasize that these people would be scared by the power of the legion and let him go.
But at this moment, he had abandoned all his fantasies.
These people are crazy...
They don't care about the consequences of doing so at all.
Looking at the captain's face with satisfaction, Sce tied an extra knot to the rope.
After doing this, she was about to carry Luo Hua, who was seriously injured and unconscious, to the truck with her tail. The NPC named Kariman walked towards her with more than a dozen of his guards.
Stopped his hand and looked at the people in front of him, and was about to ask them what was wrong. Kariman, who was walking in front, took the initiative to speak.
Are you planning to go back to Qingquan City?
Before Sce could answer, he continued to offer the invitation.
We can go on the road together.
No need.Without thinking, Sisi decisively refused the invitation from the same place.
Kariman hesitated.
Are you doubting me?
Sce said simply.
No, it’s just that there’s no need, let alone we’ve just met for less than 24 hours, so I have no reason to trust you.
Kariman was silent for a moment and nodded.
Understand...I was abrupt.And with your strength, we really don’t need it.
Although he only watched the second half of the previous battle, it did not prevent him from re-recognizing the seemingly weak girl in front of him.
She turned out to be an awakened person.
However, he did not give up.
Taking a deep breath, he sorted out his words for a moment and spoke.
Sorry, I have selected to hide my identity for security reasons. Please allow me to introduce myself again.I do come from the Lion Kingdom in Oasis 9, but not a merchant, but the king's son.
What?Sis was stunned.
His eyes lit up when his tail stood beside him.
Oh, it's the prince!Then don’t you have many wives?
Actually, it's not as powerful as you think.
Looking at the surprised expression on the girl's face, Kariman didn't understand what she was saying, but probably guessed what she was thinking.
He smiled bitterly and continued.
My father has many children and I am just one of them.And I have voluntarily given up the right to trial and inherit the throne, and now I am just a minister.
He paused, and he continued.
However, even if I give up the throne, my loyalty to the kingdom is still as clear as a diamond, and the spirit of the sea of sand can prove my oath.
Sce looked at him in confusion.
Why do you tell us this?
If it were a day ago, she might have finished listening to this guy's story with interest, but now their trip has failed.
At least it's broken for the time being.
Kariman looked at her seriously.
We have a common enemy and we need your help!
A surprised expression appeared on Sis's face.
Have you entered the main plot?
At this time, a short dry cough suddenly came from the truck, interrupting her thoughts.
Hearing the cough, the nearest sesame stalk immediately ran over and entered the carriage with agility.
Looking at the injured NPC on the stretcher, she asked in a couplet of unskilled people.
How are you?
Chu Guang...he... me, where is this?
His chapped lips opened and closed, and his voice was weak, like a candle swaying in the wind.
But fortunately, thanks to the two bags of glucose and saline that Sce gave him, his condition was much better than yesterday.
This is Ruigu City, and it is still 150 kilometers away from Qingquan City. We planned to wait for your injury to stabilize before taking you back...
Luo Hua didn't say anything, his eyes moved away from the strange face in front of him and slowly fell on the VM on her arm.
He felt relieved as if he had recognized this thing.
Then, he suddenly gritted his teeth, raised his heavy arms, and uncovered the bandage that wrapped around his abdomen.
Blood oozed out.
Oh, don't move around...
Shocked by his sudden movements, Sesame Hun quickly tried to stop him, but as soon as he touched his hand, he found that there was a card covered in blood in his hand.
...We found it.
Found?What have you found?Sesame, who was stunned, asked subconsciously.
He didn't explain.
He just said in a weaker and weaker voice.
Give him this...
A 400mm short-barrel mortar cannon, 12 100mm secondary cannons, and 144 20-30mm anti-aircraft cannons together form its firepower system.
The barrel decorated its huge body like a hedgehog. No matter how you attack it from any angle, you will be treated by at least 20 anti-aircraft artillery.

The towering Heart of Steel slowly descended to a height, and the shadows sprinkled from the air were like a curtain, almost covering half of the city and the woods on the edge of the city.
It hovered at a low altitude of five or six hundred meters, and then four thick and long anchor chains were thrown from the airship and smashed into the ground below the airship like shells.
The anchor chain has been put into place.
After completely stabilizing, the abdomen of the airship was lowered with a chain-hanging lifting platform.
The soldiers wearing black cloaks walked down the platform in neat formations.
They are well-trained, sharp-eyed, well-equipped. Whether in terms of momentum or combat literacy, they are far from comparable to the legion's conventional clone troops, and they are the kind that can be seen at a glance.

And they conquered the ground.
…Move the supplies from the elevator down, and we will build a surface outpost before dark!If you don’t want to sleep in the woods, just move quickly!
Standing in front of the team, the man wearing a black exoskeleton roared loudly, urging his soldiers to unload the supplies on the elevator.
His name is Recher, and his military rank is the commander of the thousand-man, responsible for the construction of surface camps, as well as searching and patrolling nearby areas.

Can you determine his general orientation?
The officer looked through the documents in his hand.
The last time he reported the action plan was yesterday morning, when he was entering the Valley from Luoxia Province and was tracking a caravan.
Caravan?
The caravan has a target we want to capture.
Well, the caravan... I think about it, the caravan cannot do without water sources. Whether it is a camel or a two-headed cow, they have to drink enough to rush to get there.
Raycheer thought for a moment, looked back behind him, and his eyes stopped on a man with a cold expression.
Vito, take a few brothers to the nearby survivor settlement to inquire.
This guy is his most elite scout, good at using sniper rifles and traps, and his mind and eyes make him impeccable.
Although he was relieved to him by ten thousand, Raicher still gave him an extra reminder.
Remember, report to me immediately once you find the situation.
yes!
He saluted with an expressionless face. The man named Vito soon took his squad and set out in the south.
The officer of the General Staff looked at Raicher.
How long will it take to send me a message?
I don't know, but whether there is any news or not, I will contact you before the evening.
The officer nodded, said nothing, turned around and returned to the elevator, seemingly unwilling to stay on the surface for a moment.
Raichel doesn't understand these people very much, he likes the feeling of stepping on the ground.
At this time, Finode, who was standing next to him, suddenly said.
You said that Heric would have met someone from the company.
Raichel narrowed his eyes.
It's hard to say, but I hope it's time to finish the meal and go back early.
I'm afraid it's a bit difficult.
What's the meaning.
Finold glanced left and right and said in a light voice.
Our Captain seems not satisfied with the credit for intercepting the reinforcements of the enterprise…I heard that he intends to conquer the valley provinces.
Conquer...the valley?
The cigarette butt fell to the ground unconsciously, and Raicher opened his mouth wide in surprise.
This plan is really a bit whimsical.
He was not doubting the ability of Heart of Steel and General McClan, but he was a little confused about what the meaning of doing so was.
Here is a hundred and eight thousand miles across the territory of the Legion.
Fenold whispered at his surprised expression.
I was also surprised, but this was the captain's decision. You'd better give up the idea of being able to leave here in a short time... Also, don't tell others, let alone tell others that I told you.
Raycheer calmed down.
I will keep my mouth shut.
The cigarette butts that fell to the ground have been wiped out.
Raycheer glanced at it with some regrets and stepped on it to wipe it out.
Thinking of the task assigned by the staff, he was planning to take a few people around the camp, but at this moment, the air sirens suddenly sounded in the air.
The harsh whistle surprised everyone.
A look of surprise also floated on Rachel's face, but now is obviously not the time to hesitate.
Even though he didn't think anyone could pose a threat to the Heart of Steel, he still performed his duties and ordered loudly to his subordinates.
Air strike!
Looking for bunker!quick!
The soldiers and construction workers in the camp quickly ran away and fell behind the bunker.
A series of dense cannon sounds came from the top of his head, and Recher could hear that it was a volley of the 100mm sub-cannon.
Crawling behind the unfinished explosion-proof bunker, he took out his telescope and looked into the sky in the distance.He could see a little while his eyes passed through the gaps in the treetops.
Under the clear sky, orange-yellow flames lined up, and the explosion of thick smoke formed an airtight wall.
However, there are still five planes emitting black smoke, relying on their superb flight skills to break through the firepower net of the first round of volleys.
However, their endings are already doomed.
The other party seemed to have realized this, so he simply gave up the meaningless dodge and rushed straight towards the airship, and fired all the rockets mounted on the wings before the second round of anti-aircraft fire arrived.
The plane was blown into pieces without any suspense, but the dozens of rockets rushed towards the airship with their slender tail flames.
Raycheer had a strange feeling.
I always feel that the rockets launched by those planes look much more like something than the plane itself...
However, it is only a little bit.
In front of the Iron Heart, this level of attack is as ridiculous as a toothpick piercing an elephant.
He completely ignored the dozens of rockets. After destroying the remaining five planes, the airship stopped firing and allowed the rockets to bombard him.
Those rockets were almost hit.
However, just as they approached within 20 to 50m, they seemed to hit an invisible wall of air.
Most of them were deflected, and a small number of them died on the spot.
The flying fragments did not hurt the airship at all. The steel fortress standing in the air did not move at all. Only a faint layer of smoke slowly floated towards the airship, but it was soon blown away by the airflow.
The player hanging on the parachute had a look of surprise in his eyes.
...It's fake.
The latest airborne rocket developed by Goblin Technology did not cause any damage.
Was that thing just now a shield?
but……
Although the explosives were bounced away and the fragments failed to cause damage, the thick smoke from the rockets exploded blew onto the airship.
Blood oozed out of his abdomen, and although he was almost fatal trauma, it did not stop him from thinking.
Does it mean that only low-speed objects can get close to them?
Looking at the anti-aircraft gun aimed at him but did not fire, the player thought for a moment, took off his VM and the headset with camera function and tied it to the parachute.
Then he pulled out his dagger, decisively cut off the parachute, letting the airflow sweep away the parachute, and he fell freely towards the forest.
The VM can always be found by other players.
It is not a loss to be able to bring the information back.
Before they took off, they had never thought they could go back.
Anyway, I may not be able to survive like this. It would be even more ruined if I was brought back by breastfeeding and was locked in jail in half. It would be better to make up for myself and get it done quickly.
On the other side, in the unbuilt camp beneath the airship, cheers and whistles of victory rang out.
Raicher also stood up from behind the explosion-proof bunker, put away his telescope, and dusted the dust on the exoskeleton's breastplate.
At this time, a sound came from the headphones of the helmet.
What are the casualties in the camp?
The communication was sent by the Airship's General Staff.
No casualties...What happened just now?
Raicher answered confidently without even counting the number of people. After all, he knew very well that his subordinates would not be killed by the slightest dust.
Thirty planes approached us.
airplane?A hint of surprise appeared in Rachel's eyes.
Just a group of grasshoppers who have just learned to fly, don’t care... I gave you a mission, and we found that a parachute fell in the forest in the south, so you sent someone to find it back.The officer of the General Staff said in an instructed tone.
The pilot seemed to have committed suicide.Raicher reminded.
Although he didn't see it very clearly, he did see that the pilot cut the paracord.
The officer continued.
I know, but before he died he hung something on his parachute and we have to figure out what that was.
Raychel sighed and said impatiently.
OK…I will find it.
……
Katyn Station.
Next to the messy camp, the herders knelt on the ground and prayed, while some were dealing with the bodies on the ground.
The village chief of Mudeka, holding a faded pipe in his mouth, sucking bit by bit, his face full of sadness.
The merchants who smelled the danger packed their luggage and prepared to leave this place of trouble, and their busyness looked like they were escaping.
The mercenaries who had not decided where to go gathered together and discussed in a verbal manner.
Why did the Legion come here?
Don't know... I always thought they were fighting in the north.
Are you talking about the Expeditionary Force?They were finished last year, why don’t the chewing bone tribe come out?
This group of cockroaches crawling all over the ground... It would be no good if they were there.
Tail fiddled with the VM in his hand, trying to translate some valuable clues from the topics these people were talking about, but unfortunately, he didn't hear any nutritious intelligence.
At this time, Sis walked back from the direction of the well.
Awei, I'm ready to go.
Her left and right hands were holding a lifting kettle, and a pair was hung on her shoulders. The exaggerated weight was in sharp contrast to her figure.
But she had an indifferent expression on her face and hung a kettle weighing several kilograms on the truck.
This fresh water is enough for them to use for a long time.
Eh?Aren’t we going to wait for Brother Quanshui and the others here?The big white bear, who was removing the steel armor, asked in confusion.
Yes, but I can't stay here anymore.
Ruo Rou tilted his head and didn't quite understand this sentence.
Sis pointed to the tent not far away with his chin.
The people over there were watching them.
However, the moment she met her, the people quickly moved their eyes away.
You mean, they might betray us.Sesame said thoughtfully.
After seeing that airship, most people will think so. Anyway, I can't think of anything that can hurt it.
After a pause, Sce continued.
Moreover, even if they don't take the initiative to betray us, the people from the Legion will definitely come here to inquire about the missing soldiers... a few dinars can buy them.
Just finished speaking.
There were dense cannon sounds coming from afar, and there was another commotion in the camp.
This is the second time today... and unlike the one two hours ago, there were several shots in a row.
Looking at the direction where the airship poured out its fire, Sis frowned slightly, and a trace of uneasiness rose in his eyes.
One step faster than her.
He stretched his neck and looked into the distance, and was the first to discover the black spots with thick smoke coming out of them, and exclaimed.
gia!It seems to be our plane!
Well…I guess so.Sis looked at the VM screen, and thirty IDs appeared in the nearby player list.
But in almost a moment, only five were left online.
Wait, Tail's face suddenly changed. Doesn't this mean... someone has brought the new version of intelligence to the official website?
Sis was stunned for a moment, not yet recovering.
But the flesh beside him met the radio waves, and a frustrated expression appeared on his face, although it was not very obvious because of his thick hair.
Damn it...we discovered it first.
Is this time now?The cat's ears above her head were shaking uneasyly, and Sesame Bud urged with a smile on her face, "Let's discuss where to go quickly."
Even if there was no airship and there was such a big disturbance before, they were not suitable to continue here.
After discussion, the group decided to transfer to the forest area in the eastern part of Ruigu City.
There was a valley that was easy to hide and maintained a safe distance of twenty kilometers from the airship.
They will be there waiting for the Storm Corps to rush here before receiving a new order.
By the way, when passing through the southern suburbs of Ruigu City, the VM dropped by the pilot was recycled.
If you can find it...
……
After determining the location of the next stop, everyone no longer wastes time and speeds up the luggage.
Pointing a gun at Heric who was tied into rice dumplings, Sce tied him behind the carriage of the electric mule truck.
Looking at the blue-white face, she probably guessed what the person was afraid of, so she smiled faintly.
Don't worry, the road conditions here are very poor and the car is not driving fast.But if you deliberately procrastinate, you will be responsible for the consequences.
Heric's Adam's apple moved, and he closed his mouth and didn't dare to speak.
When he first saw the airship, he did fantasize that these people would be scared by the power of the legion and let him go.
But at this moment, he had abandoned all his fantasies.
These people are crazy...
They don't care about the consequences of doing so at all.
Looking at the captain's face with satisfaction, Sce tied an extra knot to the rope.
After doing this, she was about to carry Luo Hua, who was seriously injured and unconscious, to the truck with her tail. The NPC named Kariman walked towards her with more than a dozen of his guards.
Stopped his hand and looked at the people in front of him, and was about to ask them what was wrong. Kariman, who was walking in front, took the initiative to speak.
Are you planning to go back to Qingquan City?
Before Sce could answer, he continued to offer the invitation.
We can go on the road together.
No need.Without thinking, Sisi decisively refused the invitation from the same place.
Kariman hesitated.
Are you doubting me?
Sce said simply.
No, it’s just that there’s no need, let alone we’ve just met for less than 24 hours, so I have no reason to trust you.
Kariman was silent for a moment and nodded.
Understand...I was abrupt.And with your strength, we really don’t need it.
Although he only watched the second half of the previous battle, it did not prevent him from re-recognizing the seemingly weak girl in front of him.
She turned out to be an awakened person.
However, he did not give up.
Taking a deep breath, he sorted out his words for a moment and spoke.
Sorry, I have selected to hide my identity for security reasons. Please allow me to introduce myself again.I do come from the Lion Kingdom in Oasis 9, but not a merchant, but the king's son.
What?Sis was stunned.
His eyes lit up when his tail stood beside him.
Oh, it's the prince!Then don’t you have many wives?
Actually, it's not as powerful as you think.
Looking at the surprised expression on the girl's face, Kariman didn't understand what she was saying, but probably guessed what she was thinking.
He smiled bitterly and continued.
My father has many children and I am just one of them.And I have voluntarily given up the right to trial and inherit the throne, and now I am just a minister.
He paused, and he continued.
However, even if I give up the throne, my loyalty to the kingdom is still as clear as a diamond, and the spirit of the sea of sand can prove my oath.
Sce looked at him in confusion.
Why do you tell us this?
If it were a day ago, she might have finished listening to this guy's story with interest, but now their trip has failed.
At least it's broken for the time being.
Kariman looked at her seriously.
We have a common enemy and we need your help!
A surprised expression appeared on Sis's face.
Have you entered the main plot?
At this time, a short dry cough suddenly came from the truck, interrupting her thoughts.
Hearing the cough, the nearest sesame stalk immediately ran over and entered the carriage with agility.
Looking at the injured NPC on the stretcher, she asked in a couplet of unskilled people.
How are you?
Chu Guang...he... me, where is this?
His chapped lips opened and closed, and his voice was weak, like a candle swaying in the wind.
But fortunately, thanks to the two bags of glucose and saline that Sce gave him, his condition was much better than yesterday.
This is Ruigu City, and it is still 150 kilometers away from Qingquan City. We planned to wait for your injury to stabilize before taking you back...
Luo Hua didn't say anything, his eyes moved away from the strange face in front of him and slowly fell on the VM on her arm.
He felt relieved as if he had recognized this thing.
Then, he suddenly gritted his teeth, raised his heavy arms, and uncovered the bandage that wrapped around his abdomen.
Blood oozed out.
Oh, don't move around...
Shocked by his sudden movements, Sesame Hun quickly tried to stop him, but as soon as he touched his hand, he found that there was a card covered in blood in his hand.
...We found it.
Found?What have you found?Sesame, who was stunned, asked subconsciously.
He didn't explain.
He just said in a weaker and weaker voice.
Give him this...
