Chapter 495: Safe Return
Ouch——
Seeing the two planes turning around and escaping, the huge bone dragon let out another dragon roar, then raised its head, and a few wisps of blue dragon breath leaked out from both sides of the dragon's teeth, preparing to use the dragon breath attack.
"Be careful!" teammates hurriedly warned, "That skull dragon is targeting us."
"I know!"
Naturally, Sam also noticed that the giant bone dragon was about to breathe dragon breath in their direction, and quickly adjusted the rudder and ailerons of the propeller plane, forcing it to turn and at the same time adjust the attitude of the fuselage to make it fly upright.
As soon as they finished doing this, the huge bone dragon behind opened its mouth and lowered its head, spitting out a stream of blue dragon breath and passing by the left side of the plane without hitting it.
Although he was lucky enough to escape the dragon's breath attack, the impact of the dragon's breath flames still caused the entire aircraft fuselage to vibrate to varying degrees, and even made a squeaking sound.
Sam's heart was in his throat as he held the steering wheel tightly with both hands, fearing that the plane would not be able to withstand the pressure at some point and suddenly disintegrate and fall, resulting in a tragic crash and death.
With a bang, a piece of windshield above the head was the first to be unable to withstand the violent impact and suddenly burst open.
Most of the glass fragments were thrown outside, and the cold wind rushed in through the broken hole, raging wildly inside the cockpit, and a layer of frost instantly condensed on the surfaces of many objects.
Most of the cold wind that came in blew directly to the back half of the cockpit, and the teammates sitting at the back couldn't help but shiver.
“Hiss—it’s so cold!”
"Bear it!" Sam responded.
As long as we stay away from the undead army, the temperature will rise back to the temperature it should be in summer, and then we won't feel cold anymore. For now, we can only hold on.
Sam gritted his teeth, controlled the plane to distance himself from the dragon's breath, and then continued to accelerate towards the south.
At the same time, another plane was attacked by two waves of flying undead monsters, and it was difficult to disperse them even with machine gun fire or machine gun bombardment.
After many undead monsters successfully approached the plane, they used their claws or beaks to attack the fuselage, or even hit it with their bodies, trying to knock the plane down.
Chu tu tu tu——
After shooting down several undead monsters, a breakthrough was finally opened in the front. The pilot quickly flew the plane out of the encirclement.
At this point, both planes successfully escaped the danger, and accelerated towards the south, one behind the other.
Fortunately, the maximum flying speed of propeller planes is much faster than the flying speed of undead monsters. As long as they fall behind, they can't catch up.
After a while, the two planes flew far away, putting a long distance away from the undead army behind them.
The temperature also rose rapidly. Sam and his teammates finally did not have to suffer the cold wind attack, but the strong wind blowing in from the breach above their heads still made the teammates feel a little uncomfortable.
Behind, the giant bone dragon flapped its skeletal wings and rose back into the thick clouds. Other flying undead monsters did not pursue it, but instead hovered over the undead army.
Seeing this, his teammates said: "They seem to have given up pursuit."
"Huh -" Sam breathed a sigh of relief, "This is the best."
If the giant bone dragon refused to let go of the two planes and continued to pursue them, he really didn't know what to do.
"Let's fly back like this." Sam said again.
"Yeah." The teammate nodded, "Today was really thrilling. I thought I was going to die for the country. We were just on a reconnaissance mission. Isn't it too risky?"
"Well, it's a bit risky."
Sam agreed with his teammates, but felt that the risk was worth it.
"However, we are all lucky to have survived, and knowing that the enemy possesses such important information as a bone dragon can be regarded as a great achievement."
"Indeed." His teammates couldn't deny this.
At this time, another plane sent a contact: "Zizi - this is Reconnaissance No. 2, Reconnaissance No. 1, are you okay? Over."
Upon hearing this, his teammates immediately started to adjust the radio equipment in front of them, reported the situation here to Scout No. 2 and asked about the other party's situation.
After both parties confirmed that everything was fine, the plane in the rear accelerated to catch up with the plane in front. The two planes flew side by side, heading towards Dawn City together.
…
As dusk approached, two planes sent to scout the movements of the undead army returned safely to the military airport, dragging their fuselages with multiple damages.
After learning the news, Owen hurried over and asked Sam and his team what happened during the mission.
"I see. You risked your life to obtain important information. This is worthy of praise."
After listening to the report, Owen first praised them, and then his expression became solemn.
"But! What is the most important requirement of the reconnaissance mission? It is to bring the information back alive. You escaped by chance this time, but it may not be the case next time. Your behavior of approaching the undead army for reconnaissance is too dangerous
, I won’t do it next time, do you understand?”
Compared with the pilot's death, the damage to the aircraft is a trivial matter. After all, Dawn City has established a propeller aircraft production line and can quickly mass-produce enough aircraft.
And if the pilot unfortunately dies, the loss will be huge.
You must know that it takes a long time and effort to train a qualified pilot who can perform missions, and its value is far higher than the cost of an aircraft.
"Your Majesty taught us that we will reflect deeply." Sam responded.
At this moment, Viscount Jarvis stepped forward abruptly and issued punishment measures to Sam and his party.
"You will be punished by writing a review tonight and hand it over to me tomorrow morning."
In response, Sam and the others lowered their heads and said in unison: "Yes."
After Sam and others retreated, Owen stood there, touching his chin with his hand, and lost in thought with a solemn expression.
Seeing this, Viscount Jarvis asked: "Your Majesty, are you worried about the bone dragon?"
"Um."
Owen nodded and said: "During this reconnaissance mission, Sam and the others only encountered a bone dragon. Considering the size of the undead army, there may be more than one such super-large undead monster. We have already defeated a black dragon king before.
It’s very difficult. If more than two bone dragons attack at the same time, I’m afraid..."
"Your Majesty, there is one thing you forgot to consider."
Viscount Jarvis interrupted at the right time: "After any creature is transformed into an undead monster, its strength is far less than its original strength. The Bone Dragon should not have the terrifying strength of the Black Dragon King. Moreover, undead monsters have a weakness, that
Just destroy their magic core and you can kill them completely, so you don't have to worry too much."
"you're right."
After listening to Jarvis's words, Owen finally opened his eyes a little more.
"The undead army hasn't attacked yet, so we have enough time to hold a military meeting to discuss ways to deal with the bone dragon."
