Chapter 1409 Bombing (Part 1)

That was the goal of this mission, Sylvie realized.

The scene in the center of the land is almost the same as the information provided by His Majesty Roland. The devil's city is built around the obelisk, but there is a deep chasm like a chasm between the monument and the city. Countless low-level devils cling to it, like parasitic worms on the surface of a tree trunk, but if you look closely, you will find that they are constantly digging into the rock wall, further expanding the pit.

The red mist settled here, forming a red lake, and the tall towers near the pit walls would obviously fall into the lake one after another and become part of the giant pit.

It is rumored that the obelisk was not so huge at the beginning. It broke out of the ground and continued to grow like a living thing, and the mine containing the red mist will continue to expand. Therefore, the age of a devil city can be judged from these two points. .

The city before us is undoubtedly astonishingly ancient.

Compared with the target, the figure of the biplane can only be described as insignificant. Not to mention the bombs it carries, even if it is completely immersed in it, it is difficult to imagine that it can ignite the fog lake.

Suddenly, Sylvie said softly "Hey".

"What's wrong?" the attentive Wendy asked immediately.

"A strange... devil was discovered."

A devil appearing on the top of the obelisk caught her attention - according to the devil's habit of worshiping the sky, those who can climb to the top of the tower must not be ordinary people. And judging from the appearance of the other party, it is obvious that he is not an ordinary devil. It wore a large cloak that could cover three or four people, and it was covered with dense decorations. When she got closer, she could see everything from bone knives to metal armor, and she even saw a few screws.

The enemy's head is also very special. It looks like a pillar with many masks hanging on it, which makes people feel uneasy.

"Is its magic power very strong?"

"No...it's not strong." This is what puzzles Sylvie the most. From the appearance, it is at least a high-level devil, but after appearing, it neither jumped up nor accumulated magic power to activate. The only purpose of the ability is to gather concentration and stare at the direction of the battle of the Sky Knight, with no intention of participating in the battle.

Since it did not pose a threat to everyone, Sylvie did not pay too much attention to it. The two Skywrath teams currently responsible for the bombing mission were almost approaching the edge of the city. She had to concentrate to accurately judge the appropriate location to drop the bomb.

Two minutes later, she issued the bombing order over the radio.

"A small team can drop bombs."

"Good understands."

Even on a sunny day, the clouds floating on the Impasse Mountains are not too high. Coupled with the height of the fortress itself, the Wrath of Heaven flying levelly was never noticed by the enemy.

The five biplanes lined up in a column and dropped the 150 kilograms of aerial bombs mounted on the belly of the aircraft at a steady speed.

The moment the heavy projectile was decoupled, Good felt the fuselage suddenly lift upwards, as if his body became a little lighter.

Unfortunately, he was unable to witness the results of this battle with his own eyes.

Sylvie saw it very clearly.

Since the center of gravity of the five aerial bombs was in the front, they quickly turned head-down. With the inertia given to them by the aircraft, they fell towards the center of the city in a rapid falling arc. During the last five hundred meters they were almost completely vertical to the ground.

And the devil also noticed these "uninvited guests" from the sky.

Another terror beast rose from the city and flew towards the clouds - but compared to the falling speed of the bomb, their movements were actually dwarfed.

Five black shadows rushed into the city one after another. The moment the bomb hit the ground, it turned into a ball of scorching fire, bringing up smoke and gravel dozens of meters high. Its momentum far exceeded that of a 152mm grenade! Even if she couldn't hear the sound, Sylvie could still feel the earth-shaking shock from the violent explosion wind and scattered gravel around her.

At the same time, driven by high heat waves, several distinct "holes" appeared in the red mist, just like the air holes formed in fluffy bread.

Viewed from a high altitude, the slowly spreading gray-black smoke column is particularly eye-catching in the red mist - perhaps this city has rarely been attacked in the past hundreds of years, but from the moment it broke into the Impasse Mountains to today In half a month, the core area has been visited twice by humans.

However, Sylvie's heart sank to the bottom.

Affected by the wind, although the bombs were scattered widely, they all fell into the city, which was much more accurate than the fortress cannon. However, only two of them hit Wuhu Lake, and neither of them came into contact with the "lake surface", so they directly exploded in the air.

The moment the fireball appeared, she caught a circle of rippling blue light waves - just like the barrier on a high-level devil!

"What happened?" Wendy noticed her strange expression.

"The obelisk... is protected by a magic barrier," Sylvie murmured in a low voice, "The bomb failed to achieve any effect..."

"Hey, hey," Savi turned her head in disbelief, "You mean, the devil has expanded the barrier to the city level? How is this possible?"

Of course she knew that this was really unbelievable. The effect of an ability was often linked to the total amount of magic power. To make it effective on such a large scale, even all the witches combined could not do it. But with the facts before her, she couldn't help but not believe it.

By the way...the high-level devil at the top of the tower!

At the same time as the idea emerged, Sylvie saw the other person again, but this sight almost made her hair stand on end, and an indescribable feeling came to her heart——

I saw the latter stretching out seven or eight arms as thin as dry wood at some point, taking off all the masks on his head, revealing an extremely distorted face underneath. More than a dozen stacked heads looked into the air, including those of demons, humans, and some unknown monsters - the face of one of the women looked particularly dazzling. They all showed different smiles, which were extremely weird.

Sylvie couldn't bear it anymore, she bent down and made a sound of vomiting, and her ability was also interrupted.

Upon seeing this, Wendy directly picked up the communicator and said, "This is the Seagull. The second group immediately dropped the bomb and turned back."

"Understood, did one group's bombing succeed?"

"No... there is a magic barrier around the obelisk, and the bomb failed to enter the pit."

"Barrier?" There was silence on the other end for a moment, "I know. But I want to try again."

"But there's an accident here. I'm afraid Sylvie won't be able to provide you with instructions for the time being, not to mention the enemy's terrifying beast is already approaching the clouds!"

"Don't worry, a group will cover us."

Wendy had no choice but to contact Tilly and report the general situation. The latter said indifferently, "It doesn't matter, let the second group try. Our side is not about to retreat yet."
