"That crazy giant combat airship is coming towards me!"
On the smoke-filled ground battlefield, when I saw the "Fortress" coming with full firepower and continuously shooting down other combat airships surrounding it, the Kingdom of Grim's originally strict and formidable battle formation suddenly fell into disarray.
It caused a wave of panic.
The never-ending magical artillery fire reflected a pair of frightened eyes, including the soldiers of the Kingdom of Grim, as well as the generals at all levels under command.
You must know that under the orders of Holy King William, the attack front of the Kingdom of Grim was on full fire from the beginning, leaving no remaining strength at all.
This means that after such a high-intensity consumption of magic power, the magicians who provide energy for thousands of magic cannons have lost more than half of their magic power and are already in a state of exhaustion.
The other group of magicians who provide energy for the absolute defensive barrier are also consuming their magic power in the continuous counterattacks of artillery fire and arrows from the Sunset Fortress.
In other words, the absolute defensive barrier covering the Grim Kingdom's camp seemed impenetrable, but because the Holy King had no reservations when attacking, it was no longer as impregnable as it was at the beginning.
In this case, although it is difficult for Lei Xiao's side to crush it with firepower on the ground alone, if the behemoth "Fortress" is also bombarded, the situation will be even more uncertain.
What's more, no one knew why this giant combat airship, engraved with the royal crest of the Kingdom of Grim, suddenly launched an attack on one of their own people, which only deepened the panic among the soldiers of the Kingdom of Grim.
After all, no one knows whether besides this giant combat airship, there are other lurkers around them who are also waiting for an opportunity to launch a sudden attack.
Under the raging fear and uneasiness, the morale of the Grim Kingdom camp dropped sharply for a while, and even the magic artillery fire of the front army's attack was significantly sparse.
"A bunch of trash, the Sunset Fortress is already crumbling, and you are still looking forward and backward!"
He keenly noticed that morale was beginning to decline rapidly. Saint King William had an angry look on his old face that was both unwilling and exasperated. He roared at the generals of the Kingdom of Grim who were standing around him: "Stabilize the line! Anyone who disturbs the morale of the army will be put on the spot regardless of their rank.
Kill!"
Having said that, Saint King William looked at the "Fortress" that was approaching at great speed in the sky, and continued to give a deep order: "Gather all ground and air firepower to shoot down that behemoth!"
After this series of orders from the Holy King, the front line of the Kingdom of Grim quickly became forcibly stabilized.
At the same time, except for the third batch of combat airships that arrived later, they were besieging the "Fortress".
A large part of the airship fleet that surrounded Lei Xiao and Hong Ye at the beginning also separated and flew directly towards the "Fortress". Even the air pirate fleet, which had been dizzy, started to follow suit eagerly.
At this point, the opponent's strategic intentions are already obvious.
"It seems that the deterrent effect of that giant combat airship is indeed very good. Since the other party wants to shoot it down, then I can't let the other party's trick succeed."
"What's more, on that giant combat airship, there is also "that Lord" that Catherine calls."
Seeing that the number of combat airships besieging him had been reduced, Lei Xiao, who was under severe pressure, smiled lightly and immediately began to counterattack.
I saw Lei Xiao continuously firing out various fifth-level attack magic scrolls, causing waves of violent energy waves high in the sky, making the night instantly colorful.
After Lei Xiao's outburst, the surrounding combat airships were caught off guard and were immediately shot down by thirty or forty. In addition, the encirclement was obviously much thinner, and a gap was immediately blown out.
Upon seeing this, Lei Xiao did not hesitate, commanding Hong Ye and Yin Long to break out, and in the blink of an eye they caught up with the group of combat airships that attempted to attack the "Fortress" from behind.
As Hongye and Yinlong alternately sprayed out their dragon breaths, and the sky was filled with flames, most of these combat airships that were caught off guard were shot down before they even got close to the "Fortress", and they were quickly defeated.
The "Fortress" was firing at full gunfire from the beginning to the end, like a scythe harvesting, constantly shooting down the surrounding combat airships trying to get closer.
As for the dizzy air pirates, they quickly realized that the situation was not good and immediately gave up their plan to attack the "Fortress". They were still resisting. However, under the siege of the Sky Knights led by Sean and Duke, they had already
It is the end of a strong crossbow.
At this point, Holy King William originally planned to concentrate his air power on the "Fortress", but because Lei Xiao seized the flaw and took the opportunity to break out, not only did he not achieve the purpose of besieging the "Fortress", but he lost troops and generals, causing the air
Strength becomes weaker and weaker.
Under the escort of Lei Xiao's two giant dragons, the "Fortress" traveled smoothly, and before long, it was already within easy reach of the Grim Kingdom's front line.
Seeing the unstoppable scene of Lei Xiao and the "Fortress" in the sky, it goes without saying how our soldiers were cheered up. However, the opponent's morale, which had just improved, soon fell to the bottom again, and people began to feel uncontrollable.
Became panicked.
"Where are the anti-aircraft corps of the Kingdom of Ugrim? What are they doing standing there?!"
Seeing that the situation took a sudden turn for the worse in a flash, Holy King William almost stood on the shining golden throne and said angrily: "Fire a full barrage of fire for me and shoot down the "Fortress"!"
"My King, there are many of our combat airships fighting hard around the Fortress."
Hearing the sound, Jared quickly took a step forward and respectfully explained: "If we fire now, I'm afraid it will hurt one of our own..."
Before Jared could finish his words, William interrupted him angrily: "What's the use of keeping those losers? Do you dare not listen to my edict?"
Looking at the unmistakable old face of the Holy King, Jared could only hold his chest in front of him, salute, and grit his teeth to carry out the order.
Not long after, intensive anti-aircraft spells flashed from the Grim Kingdom's camp, blasting straight towards the "Fortress".
However, although most of them successfully hit the "Fortress", violent waves aroused on its defensive barrier, but it did not shatter the defensive barrier. On the contrary, the surrounding people were caught off guard.
Other combat airships were shot down one after another, and puffs of thick smoke billowed into the sky.
"How is this possible? With such intensive anti-aircraft spells, even the giant dragon has to avoid its edge. Why is it still unable to shake the "Fortress" in the slightest?"
The Holy King looked up at the overwhelming image of the giant airship high in the sky and could hardly believe his eyes.
He knew the "Fortress" very well, so he naturally knew the performance of this giant combat airship best.
After being frantically besieged by other ordinary combat airships, coupled with intensive attacks from anti-aircraft magic, even the top-notch absolute defense barrier carried by the "Fortress" could not hold on for such a long time!
"Unless...unless in addition to the two knight commanders and 300 second-level palace magicians, there are other top powerhouses mixed in on the "Fortress", and they are constantly supplying energy to the absolute defense barrier!"
Thinking of this in his mind, Saint King William suddenly became enlightened, which soon turned into uncontrollable anger.
He still doesn't know why the "Fortress", which was supposed to completely destroy the Sunset Fortress, turned around and attacked his own camp!
"My King, the "Fortress" is about to arrive over our front army. What should we do now?"
Seeing the unstoppable giant combat airship approaching, covering up the sky and the sun, Jared couldn't help but show a trace of nervousness on his resolute face, and asked respectfully: "The carrying capacity of our absolute defense barrier is limited, plus the magician
The magic power has been severely depleted, and I am afraid it cannot withstand the indiscriminate bombardment of such a behemoth. Your Majesty, please make plans in advance!"
"I know this."
William knew exactly what Jared meant.
Currently, the counterattack firepower of Sunset Fortress is increasing instead of decreasing, and the "Fortress" is about to fly over the front army, which means that retreat has become the only option.
Otherwise, once the absolute defensive barrier covering the formation is broken, the consequences will be self-evident.
But the morale of the army is already extremely low. If we retreat at this time, withdrawal will become the only option.
"The Kingdom of Ugrim put all its efforts into being unable to conquer a small Sunset Fortress, and ultimately fled in disgrace. If word spread, wouldn't it become the laughing stock of all human nations!"
The veins on William's old face were exposed, but he did not let go in the end. He said stubbornly: "I don't believe that I can't shoot down that thing. The opponent's fortress is already at the end of its strength. As long as the "Fortress" is destroyed, victory will still belong to the Kingdom of Ulgrim.
!”
After saying that, William wiped the sweat from his forehead and waved his hand: "No one can take a step back and still attack the Fortress with all their strength, otherwise they will be killed without mercy!"
As the Holy King's order continued to be conveyed, the already panic-stricken soldiers of the Kingdom of Grim had no choice but to grit their teeth and persist, continuing to contend with the "Fortress" and the Sunset Fortress in the sky.
"It seems that the old holy king is willing to risk everything."
In the smoke-filled sky, Lei Xiao, who was hovering outside the range of the opponent's anti-aircraft fire, raised his eyebrows slightly while cleaning up the lone combat airship, and then launched an all-out attack on our commanders on the fortress wall.
The command.
Since the other party intends to fight to the end, he might as well help the other party and let the other party feel the fear of being dominated by magical artillery fire and alchemical bombs.
As soon as Lei Xiao's order was given, our city wall, which was in high morale, immediately opened fire. More than a thousand magic cannons fired each time, sweeping straight towards the opponent's front line.
For a time, our side with full firepower was full of momentum, which formed a sharp contrast with the sluggish opponent's front.
Facing our increasingly fierce magic bombardment, the opponent's absolute defensive barrier seemed to be swaying in the heavy rain, and it seemed that it might be shattered at any time.
At the same time, the "Fortress", which was like a behemoth in the sky, faced countless anti-aircraft spells and successfully flew over the opponent's line.
The "Fortress", which had already fully opened its bomb bay, did not hesitate at all. Alchemy bombs larger than ordinary wine barrels immediately roared down and hit the opponent's camp from high altitude.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
A deafening explosion sounded quickly, and balls of scorching flames exploded on the opponent's defensive barrier. In an instant, the situation changed, the earth trembled, and the momentum was extremely shocking.
With such a momentum, coupled with the magic artillery fire and arrows that were still pouring from our side, the opponent's camp was instantly covered in fire and smoke, making it impossible to see the scene inside.
Continuous smoke and fire rose into the sky, reflecting the frightened eyes of the soldiers of the Kingdom of Grim. Only they could see it most clearly. The brilliance of the absolute defensive barrier covering their heads was extremely dim.
It's crumbling.
"My king, the soldiers can hardly hold on any longer."
Jared looked at the many palace magicians around him who were struggling to support the absolute defense barrier. Each of them looked pale, and some even fainted. The uneasiness in his heart became more and more obvious.
If these elites guarding the Holy King are like this, then the other ordinary magicians in the mobile magic tower are self-evident.
Among the continuous lines of the Kingdom of Grim, only increasingly weaker anti-aircraft spells were still attacking the impregnable "Fortress" in vain.
"My king, if we don't withdraw, it will be too late."
Seeing William's old face full of reluctance and still trying to shoot down the "Fortress", Jared had no choice but to advise him again.
As for the other generals of the Kingdom of Grim around them, their faces were full of fear.
After Jared finished speaking, before William could open his mouth to respond, the change happened as expected.
Just listen to the "crash" sound of glass breaking, one after another, starting to sound in the camp of Grim Kingdom.
As the sound agitated, huge cracks visible to the naked eye began to appear on the surface of the extremely gloomy absolute defense barrier, and spread rapidly to the surroundings.
The crack only lasted for less than a second, and the crisp sound of glass falling to the ground sounded again.
This time, the absolute defensive barrier of the Kingdom of Grim finally failed to hold up and fell apart.
What followed was an endless stream of screams and hysteria from the former soldiers.
Without the barrier of the absolute defensive barrier, ball after ball of deadly scorching flames immediately exploded among the soldiers of the Grim Kingdom's front army.
The panicked soldiers perished in the flames and watched other soldiers being torn to pieces in the flames.
Whether it was armor or shield, they were as fragile as paper in the continuous explosions. The smell of blood and burnt quickly spread throughout the battlefield.
"Withdrawal! Complete withdrawal!"
Seeing this, even though the Holy King was unwilling to give in, he had no choice but to finally give the order to retreat.
For a time, millions of soldiers from the Kingdom of Grim shifted from the rear to the front, just like the tide receding, and began to flee crazily amidst our magic artillery fire, looking extremely embarrassed.
