Chapter 1299 Lightning Attack

Cage Mountain, outside Thorny Town.

"A-ah sneeze——"

Walking into the warehouse in the wind and snow, Goode sneezed hard. He placed the heavy bullet box in his hand next to the plane and sat down on it. "I hate winter...it always reminds me of my past days of exile."

"No one likes Evil Moon, but I have to say that this temperature doesn't even reach the edge of winter." Finkin curled his lips and opened the wooden box he carried on his back, "You should be lucky that we are not far from the sea. Far away, the effect of the evil moon is not that obvious - before His Majesty became the Lord of the West, every time everyone fell asleep, they didn't know whether they could survive until tomorrow. Let alone being in exile, even if they were hiding in the house, they might still be crushed by the snow. He collapsed and eventually suffocated to death in a snowdrift.”

"Uh... Is Neverwinter's Evil Moon so scary?"

"That's right, and this situation was completely resolved only after His Majesty brought a concrete house. Otherwise, why do you think His Majesty Roland named the new royal capital "Neverwinter City"? "Finkin shrugged, took out the drums wrapped in the box, and put them into the cabin one by one.

The Skyfire is equipped with a total of two machine guns, one located on the nose and one in the middle of the fuselage. Although they are both the latest general-purpose machine guns produced, their ammunition supply methods are quite different. The gun body of the nose is half-buried in the aircraft and is fed by a bullet belt. Therefore, the bullet box is also made of metal and needs to be disassembled as a whole when reloading.

The machine gun used by the rear-seat shooter is fixed on a rotatable gun frame. The operation method is exactly the same as the Mark 1 of the musket battalion, except that the ammunition supply becomes a saddle-shaped drum with a capacity of one hundred rounds. It can then be manually replaced directly in the air.

Therefore, in order to ensure that every mission is full of ammunition, no matter how many shots are fired after the aircraft lands, the ammunition needs to be reorganized. Although this step can be left to the ground crew, Goode prefers to do it himself - as long as he can touch the aircraft more, even just for a moment, he doesn't want to miss the opportunity.

At this time, there was a warm voice outside the warehouse.

There is no doubt that another student must have passed the test and landed the plane on the runway safely.

Even though it started to snow lightly, Her Royal Highness the Princess did not stop training.

She was even busier than before.

In addition to teaching new students how to fly, His Highness also takes them to patrol the northwest area of ​​​​Langxin twice a day. In the evening, there are theoretical classes and problem discussions, almost never stopping for a moment.

Under her influence, everyone seemed to have taken a deep breath, and the training effect was even better than in Neverwinter. At least this week, not a single trainer aircraft crashed.

After loading the new ammunition box into the nose ammunition storage room with his partner, Goode walked to the window and sighed softly.

"What, are you homesick?" Finkin followed up and asked.

He shook his head, "I'm just a little worried..."

"Are you worried about the war or your sister far away?" Finkin showed a wicked smile, "I remember her name is Rachel, right?"

"I'm worried about being replaced!" Goode glared at the other party angrily.

"Why?"

"There are currently only four aircraft capable of combat, and one of them is Her Majesty Tilly's Unicorn. In other words, we must be in the top three among all qualified candidates before we are qualified to fly the Skyfire." Goode turned around. Go, looking at the lively training ground in the distance, he whispered, "Originally, our advantage was actual combat experience, but now we don't even see the shadow of the devil. If this continues, as long as one or two geniuses emerge among the newcomers, we may have to Lean back.”

Probably because he didn't expect that this was what he was worried about, his partner was stunned for a while and then said helplessly, "Hey, you're thinking too much, even if it's live ammunition shooting, it's still experience - you didn't listen Your Highness, tell me, these thousands of rounds of ammunition are placed in the musketry camp, but they will need to be practiced for a month or two!"

"But neither of us are very good at shooting, are we?"

"This..." Finkin was speechless for a moment.

Although the Sky Knight has not actually encountered the enemy on patrol so far, the machine guns on the plane have fired several times - Tilly did not let them bring the ammunition back intact, but would find a target on the way back. The bullets are poured out as if it were a live-fire exercise. Sometimes it is a balloon that is released casually, sometimes it is a big tree on the top of a mountain.

This also made Good discover that his shooting ability was far inferior to his flying ability. At the same time, he also heard that there were many talented people among the newly recruited students. One of them, a newcomer who seemed to be named Manfred, was recognized by the instructor in just a few days.

Therefore, his worries are not unfounded.

It's a pity that the operational skills can be mastered by practicing repeatedly on the simulation table by yourself. Shooting has to rely entirely on bullets.

“Woo————————————————————”

Suddenly, a sharp siren sounded over the airport!

Goode and Finkin looked at each other, and their expressions couldn't help but change.

Once the alarm sounds, all training must stop, the runway must be cleared, and the pilots must go to the airport command post to assemble as soon as possible.

In more than a week of being stationed in Thorn Town, this is the first time such an emergency call has appeared.

The two of them ran towards the command post without any hesitation.

…

Soon, more than thirty people gathered in the makeshift war room.

"Just a minute ago, I received news from Iron Ax that a devil team appeared two hundred kilometers north of Fengxiao Castle." Her Royal Highness pointed to the map on the wall and said, "The message was delivered through animal messengers At the same time, the secret letter stated that a group of fleeing refugees were found nearby - this is probably the purpose of the devil. The defenders of Windhowl Castle alone would need more than two days to march, and I am afraid it would be too late when they arrive. It’s too late.”

"And this is the most suitable battlefield for the Sky Knight. Except for the Skyfire, no one can fight across such a long distance in two or three hours. Even the enemy cannot imagine that one day this sky will no longer be a devil. Exclusive territory! Now follow my orders, Sky Knight Team, set off immediately!"

"As you command, Your Highness!" everyone said in unison.

Good couldn't help but clenched his fists. He finally had a chance to fight!

Back in the warehouse, the ground crew had completed preparations for takeoff.

He climbed into the cab in three steps at a time, skillfully opened the oil and circuit valves, and turned the starting handle - under the traction of the electric motor, the nose of the machine spewed out streams of black smoke, amidst the popping sound of explosions. First cycle completed.

Once the cycle starts, the piston host will continue to run at high speed.

Goode put on his windproof goggles and pressed the control lever forward amidst the waving and shouting of the crowd.

Half a quarter of an hour later, four biplanes roared past the runway one after another, rising up against the flying snowflakes and flying towards the north.
