Ermu
Chapter 1393 Trump Card
The three squadrons, totaling seventy-five Skyfires, arrived at the interception airspace almost simultaneously and pounced on the demons' Terrorbeast forces from three directions, their trajectories like a pair of intersecting scissors, instantly cutting off the enemy's ranks!
The largest aerial battle since the outbreak of the Divine Will War unfolded above the Wolfheart's Desperate Mountains.
For a time, the demons' roars and the engines' roar echoed across the mountain peaks.
The struck Terrorbeasts spiraled downwards, and regardless of how powerful their riders were, they could only helplessly let their bodies fall, eventually turning into a blue speck on the earth.
After the two sides crossed, the original neat formation was gone.
According to the flight manual, air knights should quickly shake off the enemy's pursuit, use their speed advantage to re-establish distance, and then turn around for the next round of attack.
"Free fire, free fire!" Tilly ordered, taking the lead, relying on the Phoenix's ample power to be the first to break out of the dogfight – probably because the color of the aircraft was too conspicuous, several Terrorbeasts followed her path, which she had anticipated.
If she could attract more enemies, the pressure on her teammates would be less.
As long as enough space was created, the air knight force would be better suited to fight for the sky than the Terrorbeasts!
"Your Highness, be careful! There's a big guy targeting you!" Goode's reminder came through the headset.
"Don't worry, I can see it." Tilly glanced back. "Watch your own position, I'll call for support if needed!"
Since the Phoenix's performance was far superior to the Skyfire and Skyfire Mod, she did not equip herself with a wingman – besides being full of confidence in her aircraft, no biplane could keep up with her pace, and fighting alone would better allow her to exert its performance.
Tilly rose with the wind, first completing the climb and turn. The Terrorbeasts chasing her were still trying to flap their wings to close the distance. When the two sides faced each other again, the enemies clearly did not realize that they had changed from pursuers to prey.
The Phoenix swooped down, and Tilly decisively pressed the firing button!
In such a good firing arc, she didn't even need to use the wing machine guns to calibrate.
Four dazzling light bands spewed out from the nose, drawing a beautiful arc in the air due to the relative displacement, directly inserting into the Terrorbeast swarm from above—
Since she raised the issue that the 8mm general-purpose machine gun was insufficient for strafing ground targets, Roland had put the production of larger caliber weapons on the agenda. As a dedicated aircraft with various cutting-edge technologies, the Phoenix was naturally the first to taste the sweetness. In the huge nose, four 20mm cannons were arranged symmetrically, firing nearly three thousand rounds per minute, making its killing ability reach an unprecedented level.
Although this time her target was not Ground Mania and Spider Demons, the Terrorbeast, which was significantly larger than other similar species, indicated that the owner of this guy was a High-Rank Demon.
The best way to deal with these versatile enemies is to eliminate them before they show their abilities!
The Terrorbeast in the front was instantly penetrated by the machine guns. The warheads that hit the chest and abdomen also dragged out a string of blood rain, which was particularly conspicuous in the air. When the light band approached the High-Rank Demon, the latter roared, and several layers of ghostly blue shields immediately surrounded it, as if putting on a solid armor for itself.
But only after a moment, that "armor" faded, shattered, and disintegrated at a speed visible to the naked eye in the collision with sparks flying – then the huge impact carried it away, tumbling and falling to the ground. At this altitude, without the fusion of the flight magic stone or other life-saving talisman, there would be no chance of survival.
The Terrorbeast, having lost its master, panicked and wanted to escape the battlefield, but Tilly obviously would not give it this opportunity. After adjusting the angle of the nose, she also covered it with a string of cannon shells.
At this time, the distance between the two was almost less than ten meters. The flesh and blood debris torn apart by the dense barrage even splashed on the Phoenix's windshield.
Looking at the blurred blood stains in front of her, Tilly raised the corner of her mouth, feeling extremely happy.
This sky was her stage for revenge, and she craved more.
The giant Terrorbeast's dying wail attracted a new batch of enemies. The demons also realized that this red iron bird was significantly higher than other iron birds in terms of speed and power, undoubtedly their biggest obstacle. Judging from the Terrorbeasts' attire, there were at least two or more High-Rank Demons here.
In the Union era, they were all generals of the army, or the core of siege warfare, but now, they had been assigned to ordinary troops, which in a sense, reflected the strength of the demons.
But Tilly felt no fear in her heart.
On the contrary, she only felt a flame burning in her chest.
In the process of regaining the offensive position, she kept staring at the other High-Rank Demons, and the latter were also watching her – Tilly could clearly feel that this time their actions were much more cautious, no longer as casual and contemptuous as before.
She licked her lips and slammed down the joystick.
"Come on!"
……
"Truly... pleasing to the eye." Jia Mian stood on the plain outside the city, looking at the distant battlefield, and let out a burst of laughter.
Silence of Disaster glanced at it with some surprise.
"Are you curious why I'm so interested in bugs?" Jia Mian turned its head, and the numerous stacked masks made a harsh friction sound.
"No..."
"It doesn't hurt to tell you... What determines the superiority of a race is not the low-energy groups, but the outstanding individuals who master knowledge! What I admire is not the bug driving the iron bird, but the person who knows the principle of the iron bird—" Jia Mian opened its hands, "Even if they are of the same race, the difference between the two is enough to be described as mud and clouds. The former is a bug, and the latter... is a human! To combine a pile of metal dead objects together and create a rhythm no less than life, don't you think this is a fascinating thing in itself? I really want to cut off this kind of person's head and taste it!"
"..." Silence of Disaster silently turned its gaze away.
"But that's something to consider later," Jia Mian sighed regretfully at failing to evoke the other's resonance. "What needs to be done now is to drive away these annoying bugs—"
It took out a miniature magic core from its arms and injected magic into it. Circles of ripples quickly bloomed in the center of the core. Then, the ground beneath its feet trembled!
A huge stone tablet broke out of the ground, and the cracked black stones slid down from above, making a crackling sound – one end of it was still buried underground, and the other end was raised high, pointing straight to the sky. After the dust dissipated, through the semi-transparent outer wall, one could see that the veins and meridians of the symbiote inside were all over the tablet, and the faint light of magic flowed endlessly, making the stone tablet look like a living thing.
And there was more than one such stone tablet.
As if receiving a command, more tablet bodies emerged around the God of Divine Creation.
"I will use the Divine Will War to prove that knowledge is far superior to brute force, and so-called magic is just a part of knowledge!" Jia Mian stood in the shadow of the stone tablet, holding high the shining core in its hand, "– and I, Nasopelle, am the most worthy of being praised as a Great Lord in the race!"
