Chapter 1457 The First Battle on the Floating Island!

A genius can remember the address of this website in one second: (Vertex Chinese), the fastest updates! No ads! After entering the hinterland of the plains, the time of day on the floating island of the Eleanor gradually became the same, and most people only knew that they were moving. , but I don’t know where it will go.

Only senior officials in the command post know that they are gradually narrowing the distance to the target - the track curve marked on the map clearly shows this. Every twelve hours, the floating island will adjust eastward. direction; according to the information returned by the expedition team, their route will intersect with the path of the New God of Creation in up to eighteen days.

But the calm did not last until that day.

Fourteen days after the official departure, the routine was broken.

The first person to discover the enemy's situation was an old-fashioned Skyfire - it belonged to the aerial reconnaissance unit and was one of the few two-seater aircraft. The back seat no longer has a machine gun position, but is equipped with a spark telegraph machine and a radio station. It can be regarded as a special modification dedicated to investigation.

"One hundred and fifty kilometers away, there is a terrifying beast approaching us!"

In accordance with the regulations, the crew first sent out the message using a telegraph, and then repeated it using a walkie-talkie. The former was to inform the floating island, and the latter was to warn companions in nearby airspace.

Due to the excellent electromagnetic environment, the transceiver quickly received the message and translated it.

When he relayed the news with the note, the atmosphere in the staff room condensed, and then boiled instantly.

"Quickly determine the identity and location of the crew!"

"Sound the warning and have the engineering team withdraw!"

"Hey, this is the staff, please prepare for battle immediately!"

"The ground crew reports that lifts No. 5 and 11 are out of order and repairs are underway."

"At this time? Tell them to hurry up!"

After receiving the notice, Roland rushed to the command post as soon as possible, "What's the current situation?"

"The enemy is still more than two hours away from us." Edith reported, holding a stack of documents. "They are heading northeast, and there are more than thirty of them. The reconnaissance planes have escaped the enemy's pursuit, but they don't seem to be there. Change the original route.”

"You mean, the devil discovered the existence of the floating island?" Tie Ax asked.

"Probably not yet, otherwise they wouldn't have sent just this few people. But the devil must have noticed something, so the route is so clear."

"That's not surprising." Roland continued calmly. No matter how small the floating island is, it is still a floating mountain. It is almost impossible for a target of this size to completely hide itself. Just like Lightning and the others discovered the God of Divine Construct, as long as the distance between the two keeps getting closer, sooner or later the enemy will notice this uninvited guest. "Sylvie's magic eye focuses more on the sky. It would be normal if a devil team happened to bump into us on the ground."

Pearl of the North nodded, "Nine times out of ten, their main purpose is to verify intelligence, and with this number of terrifying beasts, the Sky Knights should be able to annihilate them all."

"Whether it is annihilating them all or letting a few escape, it will not affect the result." Roland has already realized this - it is impossible to avoid the terrifying beast at the speed of the Eleanor's floating island. In a sense, the exposure of floating islands is a foregone conclusion. "The key is how to minimize the cost."

The scale of the Sky Knights has been growing steadily. Since the blocking battle in the desperate mountains, the total number of the first-generation Skyfire and the second-generation Skywrath has exceeded two hundred, which is almost the number of two regiments. But the problem is that the enemy is out in full force, and neither troops nor logistics are constrained. No matter how good the exchange ratio is, the aircraft will inevitably suffer losses.

Roland did not expect that his side would be able to achieve air suppression during the decisive battle, but only hoped that the cover bombers would successfully complete the bomb delivery - this would undoubtedly require the deployment of all aircraft. If the Sky Knight suffered heavy losses in the early stage, the entire plan would be hindered later.

"You mean to use "Plan B" to counterattack? Tilly raised her eyebrows.

"Yes, by the way, you can also test the witch's achievements." Roland no longer hesitated, "Let your people enter the basement."

…

Two hours later, the enemy discovered traces of the floating island.

Just as Edith said, they did come for reconnaissance, but to everyone's surprise, the terrifying beasts stopped advancing four or fifty kilometers away. The leader used a lookout-like instrument to observe from a distance for a moment, and then turned around and returned without any thought of coming over to test the situation.

"It seems that the devils have learned a lot from Mask." Northland Pearl raised her lips, "Now they finally know how to fear their opponents."

"The enemy will never surrender." Iron Ax stared at the sky and said, "The next few days should not be as calm as before."

"Of course," Edith's voice was as cold as the ice and snow in the north, "and this is also a good opportunity to weaken their power!"

…

That afternoon, the devil's first wave of attacks appeared on the skyline.

They don't even look like they want to wait a day.

Of course, the army was ready for battle more than an hour ago. All external access gates have been closed, and the biplanes of the non-reconnaissance unit have also been lowered to the underground hangar. The surface of the entire floating island is empty. Even the portholes of the bridge that was transformed from the top of the north slope have been sealed. die. At this moment, the Eleanor Floating Island is almost as airtight as a huge stone mountain.

The higher-ups gathered directly in the command post to observe the external situation through the curtain projection created by the magic core.

There were more than two hundred terrifying beasts in this wave. When they lined up in a horizontal line and rushed towards the floating island, even the sky seemed to be a little darker.

"Tsk, there are quite a few..." Tilly frowned.

Roland nodded, "This is probably just the vanguard army." After all, the troops following the Demon King's City are already the entire strength of the Blackstone Territory. Since the mad demons are expected to number in the tens of millions, it is not too difficult for the terrifying beasts to come. few.

I'm afraid this is the last peace of their trip.

"The number is sufficient, but what if they can take a mountain?" Suddenly a voice inserted into everyone's mind, with a gentle tone that was slightly lazy, making people never forget it after hearing it.

The speaker was none other than Eleanor.

Roland laughed.

This is the most impeccable point of this tactic - indeed, humans don't have many ways to deal with a divine god, but the same goes for devils.

"I'll call you next."

"Don't worry, this is revenge after more than four hundred years." Eleanor replied.

In her field of vision, an invisible net was slowly spreading out, and the terrifying beasts moving on this net all turned into a series of numbers.

Mathematics is really interesting...

She injected magic power into the tentacles, and then spread it to the entire floating island. The nearly a hundred activated micro-cores bloomed with blue light, and the mechanical devices connected to them also started to operate.

The machine gun towers scattered on the edge of the island turned towards the direction of the enemy's attack one by one, with the barrels extending from the shooting holes into the sky.

The moment the terrifying beast entered the range, countless streams of light shot out, turning the invisible net into a shining screen of light visible to the naked eye!
