The empire stationed at Ayinbrok is actually a squadron, including one second-class battleship, one third-class battleship, two fourth-class cruisers/heavy frigates, two fifth-class cruisers, and
There are corvettes and sloops of various sizes.
In the first round of shooting from the Ayinbrok Mobile Fortress, one-third of the squadron was declared destroyed. The fourth-class cruiser Merced was hit head-on. The entire ship, along with the sailors and Captain Wo
Major Roned was turned into ashes in the beam of light.
The squadron's flagship, the Earl of Villiers, was built in the Year of the Falcon. It is considered an old-fashioned floating ship, but as the main ship, it is still equipped with short-range transmission devices and various protective devices. In Aiyinbu
At the same time that Locke's mobile fortress opened fire, its captain issued the teleportation order.
However, due to the instability and response speed of the old-fashioned transmission device, the light beam that penetrated the sky of Ayinbrok in people's field of vision still hit the stern of the Earl of Villiers before it entered the transmission state.
Fleet commander Count Kennan was directly killed in this attack. In the end, only the front half of the second-class battleship's huge body entered the dimensional gate.
So people saw a strange scene. Only half of the battleship jumped out of the dimensional door opened in the G4 area of the airport, and quickly lost its balance amidst the chaos of the remaining people on the ship, and began to capsize.
Finally, the Earl of Villiers disintegrated in mid-air, and the largest part of the hull fell into the direction of the temple area with a long flue, where it burst out with a strong flash of explosion and an earth-shattering loud noise that could be heard several blocks away.
can hear.
The castaways with wind element adaptability were still floating thousands of feet in the air, while the rest fell like rain, falling into white spots of light.
From the sky, there are only scattered pieces of shipwrecks, and the clouds are covered with darkness, which is like the tragic scene of the purgatory of the Arabel Sea Battle in the past - the empire lost a third of it in the sea battle with the Avenquin elves.
A main fleet.
But in Arabelle, there are still elven ships among the floating wrecks, and here there is only one-sided massacre.
Others had no time to care about the victims in mid-air. A fifth-class cruiser was just scratched by the beam of light, and the ship burst into flames. At this moment, raging flames emerged, turning the entire ship into a torch.
As for the other fifth-class cruiser, the Standard, it was damaged by two waves of Lancers when the Seven Seas Traveler broke through from Channel 4, and had to descend to mid-level altitude (the Imperials moved three hundred feet to
The height between a thousand feet is called the mid-level height, and the height below is called 'Emb'ton', which is almost equivalent to stranded in the common language of the Stargate.) Emergency repair, those who observed this scene mistakenly reported it as a crash.
.
In fact, the situation on board the Standard was not much better.
When the first wave of lancers arrived under the control of Ms. Fang Piao's Dragon Soul, the sailors on board the Standard were completely unprepared. A large number of marines gathered on the deck to prepare for a gang fight. As a result, they were lost in the first round of beam strikes.
heavy.
This directly made it difficult for the Standard to organize a counterattack when the second wave of Lancers arrived. The Lancers once invaded the interior of the Standard along the main deck and approached the power room. They were finally hit after the Marines desperately resisted.
retreat.
The captain of the Standard was quite experienced and fully demonstrated the quality of the Imperial Navy. He decisively ordered the ship to be lowered to the base of the tower when less than half of the sailors on the ship were mostly waiting for resurrection.
As expected, the Lancers gave up the pursuit.
But that was actually Miss Tata's failure to kill. After all, the Seven Seas Traveler's goal was to break out of the encirclement, not to annihilate it. Before the Ayinbrok Fortress was activated, the Lancers had to deal with multiple enemies.
At this moment, the sailors on the Standard looked at the tragic scene in the sky, and secretly praised the captain, Lieutenant Nefad, in their hearts. If the Standard was still in the G3 airspace at this moment, it would probably follow the footsteps of the fourth-class cruiser Merced.
At this moment, the Seven Seas Traveler, which was still hidden in the shadow of the back of the steel tower in the G2 channel, was bursting into cheers. Naturally, the person cheering was the idle poet lady. Tianlan was lying on the side of the ship holding the crossbow, and she was melting in the beam of light.
Shaking his fist for the ashes of the Merced.
"Great!"
"But it's forbidden."
But the cat-person lady Daryl - or rather the puppet picked up the little girl's collar from behind, dragged her back to the captain's cabin despite the latter's protests, and closed the door outside.
She covered the hilt of her giant sword with both hands and stood in front of the door, letting Tian Lan bang on the door from inside, "Let me out!"
"Idle people are strictly prohibited from appearing on the deck during wartime——"
Tian Lan put her face against the crack of the door and tried her best to wave her hand and hit the crossbow, "I'm not just waiting around."
Daryl didn't even look at it.
In fact, Baggins was the only one left on the deck at this time. The bosun helped Miss Tata adjust the uncontrolled rigging, and occasionally intervened to maneuver the sails. However, Sir Marvey's adjutant was already familiar with all this, and was with
Ms. Dragon Soul cooperates seamlessly.
There is also the maid Shesta on the air combat deck, mainly to prevent the imperial air combat structures from invading from there. The imperial people did take off a group of air combat wasps - it is a four-legged hinged wingsuit structure with saw blades.
body.
Its take-off principle is similar to that of the Clockwork Goblin, but it is about the size of a person. It is especially good at attacking the hull of aerial ships, and it can be regarded as a flexible structure for close combat.
But Miss Tata didn't let them get close at all. The Lancers formed a protective net around the Seven Seas Traveler. Flashes of light burst out from that direction from time to time. Either they were killed in the wasp attack or the Lancers fell.
But it is mainly the former. As a heavy-duty structure, the Lancer is extremely advantageous in the confrontation, not to mention that it is a long-range unit. The Air Combat Wasp can deal with special attacks on floating ships, but it is much weaker when fighting against flexible structures.
What's more, the combat craftsmen who attacked the Seven Seas Traveler mainly came from the Imperial Navy. After the Morsed suffered an explosion and the Count Villiers crashed, the pressure on the Seven Seas Traveler suddenly eased.
Ayinbrock's airport has a total of 1 to 12 waterways, which cover the entire Ayinbrock airspace at 360 degrees except for the direction towards the Craftsmen's Association and the Temple area. Different heights are divided into F and G from top to bottom.
D, A empty layer, among which F empty layer is the highest and G is the next highest level.
The war started on this level. Most of the ships anchored in this airspace were on fire, and the sky was filled with thick smoke and darkness.
After the mobile fortress opened fire under the control of Fang Plover, the channel from G2 to G7 was now clear. Seeing this scene, Tianlan couldn't help but excitedly said: "The Imperial people have been repelled, Miss Tata, let's seize this quickly."
Chance to leave!”
"No," Da Lier replied outside the door: "We can't leave yet."
"how?"
Miss Catman narrowed her eyes and looked at the sky in the distance.
There is also a third-class battleship Cagalon remaining in the G9 channel. In fact, this class of battleship is still the flagship class of the squadron in the empire. Normally, the squadron will not have two flagship-class ships, but Aiyinbu
Locke is particularly special.
Although this is not the frontier of the empire, this fortress city has special significance in history after all, and it is also the seat of the Craftsmen's Association. Therefore, the imperial squadron stationed here has actually been specially strengthened.
Coupled with the heavy frigate currently on the D4 channel, one third of this imperial squadron actually still exists, and both ships pose a threat to Ayinbrok Fortress.
In fact, the battleship itself is used as a fulcrum of firepower. In most cases, they are not used to fight against the opponent's floating ships, but to provide fire support on land. The large-caliber naval guns of the battleship can target fortresses.
To kill.
What's more, the Ayinbrok Mobile Fortress was a product of a thousand years ago. Although it was considered an alchemical miracle at that time, the Numerin elves also participated in the construction of this fortress, and some of the technologies are not completely useful today.
within the grasp of mortals.
However, the movement itself gave up part of the protection. Its main function in the past was as a logistics base for craftsmen. It was only when the Imperials located it here to participate in the last battle of the Giant War that it became a legend.
In fact, many of the standards of this old fortress are outdated today, especially after Oshu craftsmen removed most of the unnecessary protective facilities and added many illegal buildings during thousands of years of maintenance.
Let its protection level drop by another level.
The Seven Seas Traveler must now protect each other with this fortress to escape from Ayinbrok, and must not allow the Empire to paralyze this fortress within the city.
Tian Lan seemed to understand what was going on - but she was locked up in Fang Pliance's office, so she could not see the situation outside at all - there was a large arched window behind the captain's room, and she could see the other side of the giant steel tower.
scene.
The heavy frigate in the D4 air layer is slowly turning at this moment.
The Imperial Navy firmly believes that it must fight the enemy when it sees it, and that dying in battle is an honor. Even though two-thirds of the squadron has been lost at this moment, and the flagship fleet commander, Count Kennan, has died in the battle, the remaining ships still have no intention of escaping.
On the third-class battleship Cagallon, Captain Lord Robert ordered the two-color flag to be hoisted. The twelve large-caliber magic cannons on the ship were disturbed in the previous attack and could not be fired, while the remaining small-caliber cannons were
The cannon was unable to cause effective damage to the Mobile Fortress, so he directly ordered the Cagallon to crash into the middle of the Mobile Fortress.
After receiving the signal from the Cagallon, the heavy frigate immediately sailed to its front to provide fire cover.
The Seven Seas Traveler naturally noticed this scene:
"Don't let them get close to Mr. Knight," Tata said to everyone: "We will follow."
Of course no one objected.
The Seven Seas Traveler began to turn on the G2 channel.
The fighting was in full swing in the sky, and the imperial black army on the ground naturally did not forget to advance.
In fact, the moment the Mobile Fortress was raised, the Imperial Black Army responded. Several Imperial Army units stationed on Fourteenth Street, Bellsmith Street and King's Avenue were the first to open fire.
The 'Manticore' heavy war structure with a huge shield in the street.
They have single-shot long magic cannons. The fire arrows they emit span one or two kilometers and hit the right front foot of the mobile fortress. Two or three bright fires bloomed there. The steel truss structure was melted golden red by the high temperature. Soon
Break apart.
The giant mobile fortress sank, and the metal made a distant twisting sound like a wail. However, it inserted its other foot deeply into the ground, stabilized its body amidst the collapse of the building and the flying smoke, and turned around during the tilt.
muzzle——
Like a giant beast showing its fangs.
The Imperial Army who saw this scene shouted in panic:
"Get out of the way-!"
But it was too late. The three Manticores had just poked out a rail from their backs, and the golden-red magic crystal fell from it, preparing to replace the next cannonball.
They didn't even have time to pull away the large shield from the ground and retract the hydraulic support - and a gray shield structure behind was taking out another man-high magic crystal from a box under the control of a battle craftsman, and it was
At that time.
The secondary guns from three directions on Ayinbrok Fortress aimed in this direction and fired simultaneously.
More than thirty golden beams penetrated four blocks in different directions at the same time. The red light directly penetrated the 67 mm thick giant shield of the manticore from the front, along with the following constructs and the five fighting men inside.
The craftsmen turned to ashes together.
The light beam continued forward after penetrating the manticore, and then penetrated the gray shield structure behind it, turning it into molten steel.
The originally thick outer armor of the war structure was as brittle as tissue paper in the face of such an attack, and the shield provided by the heavy magic furnace was even worse, but they were not originally used to resist the attack of the fortress cannon.
The light beam continued to plow forward, leaving four glassy ravines on the street. Then the thick fire elemental magic in the air gradually faded away, and the beam of light dissipated like flying particles.
Many people witnessed this scene directly.
At this moment, Ayinbrok was already in a state of hell - Ayinbrok Fortress broke most of the rails when it stood up, causing the trains running above to either fall under the broken rails or burn on the rails.
Fires broke out all over the city, and the attack from the fortress artillery caused thick smoke to billow on Fourteenth Street, Bellsmith Street and King's Avenue. More than a brigade of war knights were directly wiped out in this hit, and the Empire's black army also suffered casualties.
.
The dead had long since turned into white points of light and flowed into the nearest church, while the injured were in extremely miserable condition. Under that level of attack, most of them would lose more than a third of their bodies if they even managed to survive.
Holding the broken leg and wailing on the ground.
In fact, it was only a matter of time that those people were sent to resurrection.
Further away, if the shock wave generated by the explosion is not directly blocked, it will almost certainly kill people within thirty meters. People whose internal organs are shattered will bleed from their orifices and struggle on the ground like insects.
The Imperial Army was not surprised by this scene. The war in Aitaria was much more tragic than that in the other world at the same time, but because of the existence of Starlight, most people's psychological endurance was much higher.
But for many visitors to the Continental League, the situation was nothing short of a hellish scene. People held up their terminals and marched through the smoke. Looking at the charred streets and the injured, their scalps couldn't help but tingle.
The Imperials have cut off all broadcast channels for the Continental League.
But for the larger number of tourists, there is actually no mandatory binding force. Most tourists are not even worried about losing their jobs, because they have nothing to do with this world.
More people raised their terminals and aimed at the towering mountain-like colossus in the corner of the sky. The Imperial Army in black armor had already launched a siege on the fortress. The flames of explosions lit up around the colossus from time to time, but with little effect.
From time to time, fire arrows flew towards the fortress in the sky, and then exploded into brilliant sparks.
But a ray of light flashed through, and the area it crossed immediately erupted with flashes of light, mixed with a strong explosion, turning the entire city block into a sea of fire, and the Imperial Army there was almost completely destroyed.
The tourists holding their terminals high looked at this scene in stunned silence. Especially many of them were spectators from the first division. They were used to seeing the unparalleled power of the first division and the arrogance and arrogance of the empire. This was the first time they saw such a scene.
.
Someone simply opened the recording crystal and started recording everything:
"We escaped from the fortress before..."
"The Imperial Army can't get close to that side. The streets we came to are full of wounded people..."
"What happened in there?"
"Of course it's the Dragon Alchemist."
There were even people interviewing them, and the tourists who escaped from the fortress seemed to be in shock.
But there are also counterarguments:
"It was the Imperial people who first accused that young man of colluding with dark forces."
"They have no evidence at all—"
"It's incredible. That Dragon Alchemist controls that fortress?"
"Is he the only one inside? He can challenge the imperial army alone. At first, that fortress even wiped out a fleet."
"It's half a branch."
People turned around in unison and looked at the huge mountain-like shadow, their hearts filled with shock.
Even though they were still in shock, an idea gradually emerged from their hearts. No matter what, after this battle, the history behind the Star Gate would become legendary again.
A new legend is born.
After the world-famous sword and the genius girl.
What is the name this time - enemy of the empire?
Or a humanoid disaster?
In just a quarter of an hour, seven streets had been reduced to ashes in the attack, along with the imperial troops inside.
Reports came from everywhere that the attack was blocked and there were heavy casualties.
But the limit of casualties is actually acceptable, far less than a real battle. It's just that the attrition situation in the battle report is mind-numbing. One after another, almost all squadrons have withdrawn from the combat order, and there are only a few injured.
Even if there are temporarily injured, they will die soon - at least seventeen combat groups have completely disappeared just a moment ago, and even the organization cannot be saved.
The forward Imperial combat unit lost twenty-two Manticores, forty Gray Shields, and three Typhoon Knights, which was almost half of the heavy equipment of the City Guards. The commander felt numb while looking at the battle report. The last time such a battle report
I'm afraid it can be traced back to the Battle of Bain.
This does not count the loss of a second-rate battleship, a fourth-rate cruiser and two fifth-rate cruisers, as well as more than six sloops and clippers - the latter mostly sunk by the Seven Sea Traveler
.
However, the losses could not sway the commanders of the Imperial Army.
In other words, nothing can shake the imperial army. Oshu was born for war and never accepted the fate of defeat.
As a result, the tourists stranded in the city soon saw more imperial troops wearing black armor coming from different directions, passing through the streets and heading towards the fortress.
Huge war structures began to appear in different neighborhoods, and dots of light appeared in the sky. They were Wind Knights. Instead of retreating, the Imperials launched an even more fierce attack.
The stubbornness of the Oshu people is clearly displayed at this moment, but it also makes people have a sense of admiration. The people of the Empire have always regarded death as home, and honor as life. Their arrogance and belligerence can also be called decisiveness and courage at certain times.
.
It was the same when facing the dark army in the past, and it is still the same now. It's just that there were three legions stationed in Ayinbrok Fortress at that time, but now there is only Fang Plover. This time, the imperial people changed from defending to attacking.
By.
But a dark dragon queen became the master of the fortress.
The reversal of stance is almost ironic.
But in the eyes of Dragon Queen Alyssa, those imperial soldiers in black helmets were like constructs, unafraid of death. They were blocked on a street and soon launched attacks from other directions, treating death as nothing.
.
Soon, she felt troubled.
"These damn Imperials are still exactly the same as they were a thousand years ago," she shouted. "When we attacked this fortress in the past, they were just like this. Now it's their turn to attack this fortress. Why is it still so difficult?"
The mobile fortress has three levels of armament.
The lowest level among them is also a ten-inch caliber fortress cannon. Its main armament is the four fortress cannons at the top. It is a twenty-three-inch caliber monster. It is not an old antique. It is a cutting-edge equipment that was remodeled about seven years ago.
.
It was supposed to be part of the city's defense system, but now it naturally fell into Alessa's hands.
It is a pity that the renovation was not completed at that time. There were only two such cannons on the top of the fortress. One of the remaining two is still an antique from ten centuries ago, and the other was renovated three hundred years ago, but now
They are all rusted to death.
The older one has been converted into a museum, and the other one is not much better.
Among the only two giant cannons, their recharging speed is also extremely slow. It may take several hours or even a day to self-charge with the magic furnace of the mobile fortress - depending on the current operating load of the fortress.
One of them had already fired and took away half of the Empire's fleet. The remaining one was left by Alessa so that the Empire would have some scruples when attacking. Of course, he didn't actually do it.
He's not really so crazy that he plans to open fire on Ayin Block.
As for what Dragon Queen Alessa said, in fact, the Oshur people have always been like this.
The battle at Byrne was so brutal that the Kaolin people were all too familiar with their old rival.
But the real threat is the cluster of constructs in the sky. The Combat Craftsmen Group of the Craftsmen Association comes into play. After all, the fortress controlled by Alessa is not the one of the Oshurs in the past. There is no guard on the fortress except her.
military.
Once those constructs started to land and enter the fortress, there was nothing she could do.
She could only organize artillery fire to form a barrage in mid-air to delay the approach of the opponent's construction cluster, but in this way, even the firepower that blocked the approach of the two floating battleships in the sky was dispersed. Fortunately, there was the Seven Seas Traveler
Stay on the sidelines.
But this fortress is aging after all, and its movement is extremely slow.
Alessa finally couldn't help but screamed, "Little guy, this old antique is even less reliable than my original body. I have to remind you that many of its devices have been completely rusted and aged, and some of the gears are different.
With a broken tooth, I can’t tell when it will get stuck.”
"We have to leave this place," Fang Plover replied. "If we stop in Ayinbrok City, we have almost no possibility of escaping, Ms. Alessa."
"I know," the Dragon Queen said angrily, "I'm trying to search for more backup systems for this shaky old thing. Fortunately, it was originally designed for war, and the Oshu people seem to have also carried out reforms in recent years.
A certain level of maintenance.”
"But I want to remind you," she said, "the role of this fortress is different now. When I activated it, there were still many mortal craftsmen inside it. I locked the
There are lifts and gates at various passes, but it is only a matter of time before these people enter the core area."
Of course Fang Yu understood that this fortress was originally home to the Craftsmen's Association and the Imperial Workshop, and there must have been many high-level craftsmen left in it.
But fortunately, Amasite had previously ordered the combat craftsmen department to dispatch to the airport to participate in the battle. Otherwise, if there were still a large number of combat craftsmen remaining inside the fortress, it would be a real problem.
However, those combat craftsmen are now returning, and Alessa is almost certainly unable to stop them all. After all, the target of a combat craftsman alone is too small, and few of the large and small caliber weapons on the fortress can deal with a single person.
"This fortress has seven cores," Alessa said. "You have to guard at least three of them. As long as there are three cores, I can find a way to move this thing out. But in that case, we are likely to
It will lose its external firepower."
She paused, "I mean, the pressure you have to face will become more and more intense."
Fang Plover nodded.
"Leave it to me," he replied, "Ms. Alessa."
"Well," Alessa said, not politely, "I can trust you, little one."
Fang Plover then raised his head. The previous battle only lasted a short moment.
However, great changes have taken place in the Hall of the Holy King. In fact, Tenaric alone is no match for those silver-helmet knights. Under the close approach of this lizard prince, these showy nobles died.
Hurt hurt.
The rest also forgot the glory of their ancestors, threw down their weapons and fled from the hall.
On the contrary, the fighting craftsmen who broke in were much more powerful, but when faced with a hero of the Battle of Byrne—Princess Miaoxing of the Elven Quinn Elf, they were still somewhat inadequate.
The elf princess picked up her bow and nocked an arrow, then released the bowstring - with a sharp roar, the light arrows passing through the hall could often pierce the craftsmen behind the construct. She looked like a ghost, fighting and retreating, and from time to time.
Hiding behind Teneric.
Those fighting craftsmen had no way to deal with him, let alone get close to Fang Plover in the center of the hall.
Because before the construct they controlled could even get close, a tall alien flexible construct had already blocked the front - the Oshu combat craftsmen's eyes almost popped out when they saw the construct.
.
"Seraph?"
"How can you control it?"
"It is not……"
Isn't it a waste?
Since the previous generation of Dragon Knight, no one is willing to waste computing power on this thing, and most people can't do this.
Even if a few can do it, but at that level - why not just choose the Dragon Knight, or the Pseudo Dragon Knight?
It’s just that Fang Plover is too lazy to answer this question.
He just wants to say that he is special——
He could even control another Centaur Annihilator while distracted, letting that Centaur Annihilator create chaos in the crowd. But when he glanced at Amarshet, he realized that the great alchemist was thinking
I wanted to retreat and was planning to take people away from this place quietly.
He immediately pointed in that direction: "Princess Brianne, we can't let him leave!"
When Brianne raised her head, she would not give any face to the alchemists of the empire. As early as the Battle of Byrne, the Avenquin elves were mortal enemies of the Oshurs, and the enemy's great alchemist was also an enemy.
.
Now that she had made up her mind, she no longer hesitated and immediately opened her bow in that direction.
