Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Accompanied by deafening loud noises and dense artillery roars,

As a super airship that can easily carry more than five thousand people and a large amount of supplies, the recently built Thunder implements the design idea of ​​"big is better, more is beautiful", and is far superior to two in terms of width, length and height.

A 100,000-ton freighter.

Moreover, the inventor of the Gond Church who was responsible for building it was also a loyal believer in the "Multi-turret Cult".

With the powerful technology and magic blessing of the West Coast Empire, he installed more than twenty double or even triple rotating turrets on the sides, and the total number of gun barrels exceeded 70.

You must know that this thing is not the original version of the original cannon loaded in the back hall, but it is very close to the artillery of the Second World War. Both the loading and the rate of fire have been greatly improved.

The smoky gunpowder formula provided by Gund, the God of Craftsmen, also incorporates magical elements, and its explosive power is more than ten times that of the original.

If only one side of the turret fires, the entire airship will continue to drift in the opposite direction driven by the huge recoil force. The main purpose is to cover the fire.

As for accuracy...

Sorry, this thing was not considered at all.

As long as the firepower coverage is dense enough and directly covers the entire battlefield, accuracy is not important at all.

In fact, every member of the Inventors' Guild currently working for the West Coast Empire believes in firepower superiority, and all they can think about is how to install more forts with larger calibers on giant airships.

I never thought about range and precision guidance at all.

After all, the only one with large-scale airships in Faerûn is the West Coast Empire, and the only one with large-scale installation and use of thermal weapons, and each gunship is equipped with a certain number of dragon knights to escort it.

Therefore, except for those magic ships that can travel in space and alien planes, they do not need to consider a decisive battle in the air under the same conditions. Naturally, the technology tree is slightly distorted, and they only emphasize the comprehensive suppression of air and ground.

The semicircular turrets extending from the outer shell of the airship pod can not only rotate 180 degrees left and right, but can also be adjusted up and down from 45 degrees to 60 degrees.

This undoubtedly ensures that no matter which way the airship is facing, a part of the turret will always be able to shoot.

Of course, in addition to relatively expensive things like artillery shells, the Thunder also carries incendiary bombs, cluster bombs and heavy aerial bombs weighing hundreds of kilograms or even tons.

This thing is placed directly in the suspended magazine on the bottom of the airship.

As long as the commander gives an order to open the safety gate, it will immediately be dropped from a high altitude like raindrops, causing unimaginable huge damage to fixed targets on the ground.

So when the airship's artillery began to roar non-stop, and heavy bombs and incendiary bombs were thrown over the heads of the dark elves and monsters, the originally bad battle situation was suddenly contained.

Hundreds of enemies were caught in the flames and explosions without even having time to scream. Either their entire bodies were torn apart or burned alive into charcoal.

In short, at first glance, it is a completely purgatory-like scene.

The dark elves who were accustomed to fighting with cold weapons and magic had never seen such a battle before, and they were immediately confused.

The performance of those monsters was even worse, and they suddenly fell into chaos.

The short distance of a few hundred meters from the rear to the city wall was strewn with mutilated corpses, as well as wounded people wailing in pain under the flames.

After the round of attacks stopped, the originally flat grass and woods were covered with large and small craters.

Many ancient trees dozens of meters high were directly blown up by artillery shells, while others were turned into sky-high torches by incendiary bombs, and collapsed with a burst of crackling burning sounds.

"No matter who it is! Kill that flying ship for me! Immediately! Immediately!"

Seeing that his side suffered such heavy casualties and that his morale was likely to collapse at any time, the lame Jazz immediately roared like crazy at the priests, mages, and the evil dragons flying in the sky around him.

Although he had overestimated this weapon to the greatest extent before launching the attack, which could make the red-robed mage of Ser give in.

But who would have thought that the destructive power of this thing in war would simply exceed their imagination.

But it's no wonder.

After all, those old airships still used backward cannons, which was equivalent to moving wooden battleships from the sea to the air.

But what about the latest model of the Thunder?

After a period of explosive development of magic and technology, it jumped directly from the era of sailing and great voyages to the level of World War II.

Even the pod and airbag themselves are equipped with protective armor and adopt an integrated design. Even if they are bitten or spit by a dragon, they can resist for a while.

Of course, those old models of airships have also undergone new modifications.

Currently, the entire empire maintains a total of seven air gunship formations, each of which are deployed in key strategic locations to deter surrounding countries and forces.

But so far, no blind guy has dared to jump out and try the power of these new weapons.

"Oh my God! This is the famous aerial gunship of the West Coast Empire? It is simply a war fortress!"

Severil, the commander of the elf army, pulled out the sword from the eye of the hill giant he had just killed, with an expression of shock and disbelief on his face.

Although Evermeet Island has a space fleet composed of star-winged magic warships, its powerful magical power is enough to wipe a city off the map in an instant, but that is the result of the joint efforts of dozens of high-level elven mages.

But what about this gunboat now?

Except for the fact that there are several mages in the central control room who are responsible for maintaining the magical protection during the battle, there is no need for any manpower to control it at all.

All artillery shells and bombs are manufactured in advance at the rear and can be transported into the cabin for storage.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Moreover, with Shuoyou's modification, both the turret and ammunition supply are fully automatic.

On the entire ship, only the commander and the dragon knight were living people, and the rest were all simple constructs and undead creatures.

This also means that as long as the West Coast Empire's finances allow, it is possible to mass-produce dozens or even dozens of ships, directly across the sea and mountains, launch raids and bombings on targets thousands or even tens of thousands of kilometers away, and destroy enemy cities and

Villages were razed to the ground.

"Look! Those evil dragons are flying over to attack our allies!"

A ranger shouted while pointing at the red dragon, green dragon and black dragon that had seized the commanding heights in space and then dived from different directions.

"Don't worry, our allies are capable of protecting themselves. Instead of worrying about them, be careful about how these vicious cousins ​​will react next."

As he spoke, Severil took the lead and rushed to the area where the enemy was most densely populated, waving the silver moon blade in his hand to kill them.

In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen elite dark elf warriors covered their necks, eyes and other vital parts and fell into a pool of blood with unwilling expressions on their faces.

Because shelling and bombs blocked the enemy's coalition forces, the part of the city wall that had climbed up had become a lone army, and was being besieged by elven soldiers several times its own number.

Without backup, they wouldn't be able to hold on for long.

As for the summoned demons and yugoloth demons, seeing that the situation was not good, they had already cast teleportation spells and retreated to the rear.

This is why the lame Jazz is so nervous and anxious.

His original plan was to use a surprise attack to directly fight with the elves on the wall, forcing the other party not to easily use those large-scale destructive spells and artillery attacks.

But now there is a huge flaw in this plan, that is, although the airship does not dare to bomb the fighting area near the wall between the two sides, it can intercept the people who come up later.

Therefore, the Drow coalition must shoot down or even drive away the gunboat at all costs.

The worst is to prevent it from bombarding people so condescendingly and recklessly.

After the lame Jazz's order was given, the first person to rush towards the airship was an old male red dragon with a grumpy personality.

It is over twenty-five meters long and is obviously larger and more ferocious than other evil dragons.

He was stunned to hold on to the defensive lightning shot from the airship, and rushed directly to the flight deck, wanting to open his mouth and spit out a deadly breath of flames.

But unfortunately, at this critical moment, two dragon knights and their dragon companions suddenly jumped out of the side cabin and rushed over from the left and right directions.

One of them sprayed out biting frost, and the other sprayed out a highly corrosive acid liquid.

If it were an ordinary spell, with the resistance brought by the old red dragon's physique and scales, there would be no need to pay attention to it at all.

But the problem was that he didn't dare to underestimate the breath coming from the same kind, so he immediately made a sharp turn and flew higher at an angle of almost 90 degrees.

Just as the original propeller fighter fights favored seizing the high ground, so too does the battle between dragons.

Whoever seizes the high point will have a wider field of vision, and it will also be easier to dive and attack the enemy.

On the other side, several other dragons were also entangled by the dragon knight, and an extremely rare air battle began around the huge airship.

Although the dragons of the Dragon Knight are all created by Zuo Si through the fusion of multiple dragon species through genetic and magical transformation technology, their actual ages are often very young.

But their size is already approaching that of young and even adult dragons in this world.

The damage that dragon's breath can cause is also almost the same.

I guess the only thing he lacks is rich combat experience and spell-like abilities.

However, with the help of specially trained knights and the fact that he was able to defeat the many and defeat the few, he did not suffer much loss.

But after the evil dragon had such a peaceful sleep, it was obvious that the airship could not fire as unscrupulously as before, but had to be careful to avoid accidentally injuring its own people.

As the intensity of firepower dropped, the drow coalition forces on the ground immediately regained their morale and surged toward the wall again.

One of the female drow even released an unknown spell at an extremely fast speed after approaching the city gate.

The next second...

Snapped!

The originally strong door instantly shattered into countless tiny fragments like glass.

These fragments were extremely sharp and immediately caused serious damage to the elf soldiers who were waiting behind the door. The nearest one's face was covered in blood and flesh, and his two eyes turned into horrifying blood holes.

Although the enchanted armor on their bodies blocked most of them, some of their exposed skin was still stabbed and scratched by these sharp fragments, and they fell to the ground screaming.

"Now! Rush in and kill these damn surface goblins! The great God Queen will bless us!"
