Four Hundred and Twenty-Four Giants
The advantage of the Air Force is that, no matter how vast your land is, the speed of reinforcements or mobilization is calculated in days or hours.
If the repair and maintenance equipment can be transported together, or prepared in advance, then the speed of the Air Force entering the battlefield is unmatched by other arms.
With the floating battleship, this advantage is more obvious - starting from the capital Seris, it only takes less than a day for Chris's air battleship Sky No. 1 to appear at the forefront of the battlefield .
This is also the first time in this world that the magic technology of the floating city has reached an ultra-high speed of more than 400 kilometers per hour.
"The anti-air magic defense barrier is on standby! The activation rate of the anti-air magic defense barrier is 80%!" The magician in charge of the magic defense barrier, controlling the complex array control device in front of him, reported loudly.
In order to keep the radar of the battleship from being interfered, and also to save the magic spar reserves in the battleship, Sky One does not need to open an all-round magic defense barrier in a safe airspace.
This is also the latest breakthrough in technology - the magic defense barrier controlled by computer technology is actually formed by splicing thousands of small area magic defense barriers, arranged like fish scales.
Although this kind of structure is complex, under the operation and blessing of the computer, it can be completely orderly, scattered but not chaotic. And the benefits of doing so are obvious, it can close a part of the magic defense barrier at any time to achieve energy saving and other purposes.
"It will take another hour to reach the skies above the battlefield. Do you want to wake up Your Majesty?" The adjutant walked up to the standing captain and asked, "In order to protect the battleship, the artillery bombardment on the front line has already begun."
"Our Air Force's own bombing will start in half an hour! It is expected to take off 200 bombers to bomb the enemy's strategic depth!" Then he added: "After half an hour, according to the regulations, I should start the battle preparations. Alarm...but His Majesty is still asleep..."
He was embarrassed to say that there was a double bed in His Majesty's bedroom, and of course the imperial concubine Vivian was also in it... If anyone knocked on the door at such a time, it would probably leave His Majesty a good impression that he will never forget.
The captain coughed and concealed his embarrassment. He was unwilling to knock on the door at this time, and sounding the battle preparation alarm half an hour later was also a headache.
At this moment, in the bedroom, Chris is reading a book about the history of magic. He is familiar with magic technology, but doesn't know much about the history of this world, so he has been supplementing his knowledge in this area.
After all, the big tree of magic is still different from the technology tree of Earth civilization that originally grew in Chris's mind. The science and technology tree of Earth Civilization includes all the works of history and humanities, including every detail.
But on the magic tree, there are only technical things, but there is no history of this world or what has happened.
If Chris wants to master the world, he naturally needs to know a lot about it. So he is now making up all his time to make up lessons, even sacrificing a lot of rest time.
Vivian, who was sitting beside him, was not idle either. Although she was still relatively young among magicians, she was someone who had witnessed the history of more than a hundred years with her own eyes. Many things came out of her mouth, which was still very meaningful. feeling.
It is not an easy task to find a talkative teacher who can help you explain the problem all the time.
So Chris cherished this kind of time, leaning back in his chair, holding a copy of the diplomatic history of the Eternal Empire, and watching it with relish.
"Tick! Tick! Tick!" The electronic alarm clock on the table rang at this time, and Chris raised his head, glanced at the time, and knew that he should go to the bridge and prepare for combat command work.
So he put down the book in his hand, rubbed it, put it on the table, rubbed Vivian's hair with his hand, and said indulgently: "Let's go! Let's go to the bridge! When acquaintances meet, you always have to say hello."
"Do you know them? They seem to be really familiar." Vivian curled her lips and said with a look of disdain: "It's almost a set up, right, don't mess with people's hair! I'll get up in the morning and ask for it It took a long time to sort out!"
She was complaining, but she actually liked to be in close contact with Chris. So she never avoided Chris's hand, which was a little happiness of her own.
When Chris pushed open the hatch of his bedroom, he found that the captain and the first mate were already waiting outside the door. They dared not knock on the door, so they had to stand at the door and wait.
Then the two of them noticed Her Royal Highness's slightly messy hair, and they couldn't help but put on a clear look on their faces.
Chris didn't pursue it either, he just smiled embarrassedly, and said something more thought-provoking: "Sorry, I made you wait so stupidly, I forgot the time."
It is a noble character to be willing to apologize to a person of the 95th. The captain and the first officer immediately showed flattered expressions, bowed their heads and moved: "Where is your majesty..."
In fact, they didn't come and stand for long, because it was still a long time before the battle-ready alarm was sounded. They came here just to see the situation, who would have thought that His Majesty would get up like this.
"Let's go! Go to the bridge!" Chris strode forward and took Vivian with her legs along the not spacious corridor. Soon they came to the bridge, and Chris still did his part to sit in the captain's seat.
The captain put his hands behind his back and stood calmly beside Chris. On the other side, Vivian sat in the position of the first mate. The real first mate stood behind the princess with his hands behind his back.
A few minutes later, the battle preparation alarm began to echo inside the battleship, and all the personnel were ready for battle, and Chris was busy in front of him.
"Fire control system level 1 battle preparation!"
"First-level combat readiness for Phalanx air defense system!"
"The anti-aircraft missile system is ready!"
"Radar No. 3 is on! Full airspace scanning begins!"
A series of passwords came out of the operator's mouth, and all the weapon systems on the entire warship were ready for combat.
The Phalanx Artillery, which was originally in a standby state, seemed to be charged into the soul. The slightly drooping barrel suddenly rose, and then the effect swayed and returned to the horizontal position.
The 500mm caliber artillery on both sides of the battleship also began to slowly turn downward, pointing a little in the direction of the earth.
Right below the entire battleship, on the periphery of the floating magic circle, the defensive magic circle became more dense and flashed with blue light.
On the catapult runway at the rear, the baffle that blocked the fighter's tail flame began to slowly stand up. It was already hung on the F-14 Tomcat fighter jet on the steam catapult, and the densely packed AIM-120 missiles were mounted with sharp bullets. Wings, gleaming in the sun.
The ground crew held a glowing baton and waved their oxygen masks at an altitude of more than 7,000 meters. The heavy cold clothing made them look very bulky.
In the sky, the front-line F-16 fighter unit that has taken over the escort mission is adjusting its formation. The densely packed F-16 fighter jets are arranged on the left and right, and at the top are the large early warning aircraft taking off from the Air Force frontline airport.
The entire airspace was under the surveillance of Ailan Hill, and even everyone was watching with their own eyes.
And the giant battleship Sky One, under the mighty protection, entered the main battlefield between the puppet empire and Ailan Hill with a majestic momentum.
...
In the puppet empire, the centipede city of Bourkeland, a gate was pushed open from the inside. A pair of huge palms retracted into the darkness, followed by a low whimper, and a desperate gasp.
"You... what have you done to me? Why! Why!" Then, a hoarse voice sounded, constantly questioning, questioning the empty corridors around.
"We gave you eternal life! You are free now! Return to the source of magic in the true sense! Isn't that what you want?" An evil voice suddenly sounded, and then a black shadow appeared In the corridor, Jie Jie smiled.
The pair of huge palms with the size of a washbasin protruded again, followed by a pair of thick metal arms, followed by an ugly metal face.
"What have you done to me? Why is my body involuntary? The source of magic is swallowing me! He is swallowing me!" The jointed metal mouth opened and closed, uttering incomprehensible human words.
"Becoming a more powerful magician, coexisting with the source of magic, isn't this what you expect? The devil has given you everything you want, what can you complain about? Now, you are the most loyal warrior of the source of magic. Now! You should be excited!" The black shadow became more and more happy and said with a smile.
"You deceived me! You...you...deceived...me!" The twisted huge metal head swayed back and forth, smashing the door on one side, making a terrifying cracking sound.
"Shut up! We transformed your body with the most powerful puppet technique! Now you are countless times stronger than before! What can you complain about? Hurry up and adapt! The front line still needs you to fight! Your holy demon Empire... don't you think it's like taking it back?" The black shadow interrupted the steel giant coldly.
"Holy Demon... Holy Demon... My Holy Demon Empire!" The giant's eyes gradually became cloudy, and he said something, but finally became quiet.
"That's right... Your Excellency Archon... You still have a lot of things to do!" The shadow pulled over, stretched out something like a hand, and patted the giant's shoulder lightly Pai, with a kindly consoling look: "Kill Alan Hill's enemy! Take back the Holy Demon Empire! Rebuild the splendor of the Magic Empire!"
"Ailan Hill... Ailan Hill! Must die! Must die!" The steel giant's protruding half body shrank back into the room, his hoarse voice echoed in the darkness.
