Chapter 888 Falling From the Sky

With a crisp click, the latch bounced upwards, and the aerial bomb weighing five nightingales slid out of the bracket under the force of gravity, and flew toward the crowd by inertia.

After detaching from the "Dongfeng", the aerial bomb immediately regained its weight, but its speed did not decrease at all. This change instantly endowed it with great kinetic energy. The friction between the projectile and the air made it make a strange whistling sound, like a whistle, or like a mountain wind passing through a cave. People on the ground raised their heads at the same time, watching this incredible scene.

At this time, most of the Chen Xi nobles breathed a sigh of relief.

Compared to Maggie's terrifying and gigantic body, the two aerial bombs were nothing worth mentioning—even though they were dropped from that height, if they hit the head, there would be no bones left, but only three or four unlucky people died.

In order to get a share of the church on the verge of collapse, there are countless responders to this expedition. From the guardian of the Duke to the young knight, they all actively prepared their horses, recruited followers, and followed the Lord of Dawn all the way to the west, so the team was unprecedentedly large.

With an army of more than 10,000 people, let alone three or four, even thirty or forty, so what?

On the contrary, the horrifying beasts are even more frightening. Once they jump into the crowd, bite and trample, the casualties would be at least hundreds, not to mention the losses caused by those ignorant serfs fleeing wildly after being frightened. As long as the behemoth doesn't hit the ground, they aren't too worried.

Of course, it is also possible that the other party was afraid and did not dare to openly confront Chen Xi's army. After all, this thing is likely to be the work of a witch, and besides wearing the God's Stone of Retaliation, they also prepared a lot of tools to deal with witches—since the target of the looting is the church, such means are naturally necessary few.

Many knights had already put down their longbows, put away the arrows of the sacred stones, and bet with a smile which family's team these two black stones would fall into.

Without evacuation or lying down, under the watchful eyes of everyone, the two aerial bombs hit the slow-moving army head-on with a nearly straight trajectory like arrows leaving the string.

In the middle of the "stream", two groups of scarlet flames suddenly exploded!

The people and animals at the landing point of the aerial bomb were directly reduced to ashes, and the heated and expanded airflow formed an explosive wind, blooming in all directions like a ripple. The hot wind accelerated to this level is no different from a steel wall, and the people who hit it are almost instantly smashed to pieces, and severed limbs and internal organs are thrown everywhere.

The shock wave decays quickly, and after a hundred steps, it no longer has the ability to tear apart the body, but for an aerial bomb, its lethality is far more than that.

Unlike the Battle of the Royal Capital, the area bordering Dawn and the Old Holy City is a spacious plain, and there will be no shelter from shock waves or fragments. And the high-density crowd standing upright without any sense of defense has simply become the best target for fragments—thousands of iron balls inside the projectile, together with the broken shell, penetrated the crowd at a speed several times faster than sound. Iron balls can often penetrate more than ten times before they stop, not to mention the steel shell with huge energy.

The power of the aerial bomb was almost unreservedly released.

Seen from a high altitude, the rising black smoke looks like a high wall, stopping the surging "stream".

However, before the nobleman of Chenxi recovered from the thunderous blow, Lightning had already climbed to the highest point and started the second round of dive.

"Dongfeng, attack again!"

Maggie followed closely behind, folded her wings, fell all the way along the trajectory opened by the lightning, and let out a high-pitched and long howl——

"Aoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"

The eight aerial bombs are respectively loaded in the left and right brackets, and fall in sequence according to the slide rails. They can be bombed four times in a row, or they can be dropped on the same target in one go. In order to achieve the best deterrent effect, Lightning planned to dive four times, trying to keep the bomb still in the middle and back of the stream that had not yet dispersed.

But when the third round of aerial bombs was dropped, Dawn's army had already collapsed.

For those who are still alive, it is not an explosion, but a divine punishment. The places hit by lightning were scorched earth and corpses strewn across the field. Whether it was a serf without a piece of armor or a knight in heavy armor, there was no difference in the face of the hellish flames. No one knows how long this attack will last. The deafening explosion and the screams of the seriously injured all tormented everyone's nerves.

What made them most unacceptable was that in the face of such an incredible blow, the only thing they could do was to pray that the black stone would not fall near them next time. The behemoth hovering and swooping in the air would never come close to the attack range of the arrows. A group of people were almost helpless except to be beaten passively.

Such a battle is completely beyond their common sense.

Nobles come here to plunder wealth, if they can't even save their own lives, what's the use of asking for money? Even if a large box of golden dragons can be found, there is no way to transport them back after the attendants die.

Under the balance of the two phases, the conclusion is self-evident.

When the knights who strictly ordered the serfs not to flee the battlefield turned around and rode their horses, the team quickly lost their restraint. The "stream" flowed again, but this time in a completely different direction. First there were two batches, and then a group of two groups. The scattered nobles who had entered the city lost their source, while the more orderly formation behind became a pool of loose sand.

But for Chen Xi's army, the nightmare has just begun.

The First Army, which had long been hiding in the fields beside the road, calmly pulled the trigger when the enemy swarmed in.

It's a textbook side swipe.

The nobles just wanted to leave this dangerous place as soon as possible, completely ignoring the detection and defense of the flanks. The five squads of the Northland Garrison lined up along the road, leaning their firepower on the scattered crowd—whether it was heavy machine guns or revolver rifles, there was no need to consider the issue of hits. Within a distance of less than 300 meters, they only needed to shoot as fast as possible. Just clear the bullets in the gun chamber.

The wheat stalks half a person's height became the best cover for ambushers, and before dawn, Eagle Face led his men to lurk here. Sylvie's powerful insight ability ensured the complete concealment of the scout cavalry. The opponent was almost blind, but his every move was clearly exposed to the eyes of the First Army.

It can be said that from the level of investigation, the two are no longer rivals at the same level.

It wasn't until the first gunshot sounded that the nobles of Chenxi realized that there was an enemy army ambushing in the rice fields! If they encountered a surprise attack while marching, they might still use their numbers to launch a counterattack, but at this moment, escaping has become the most important thing—being hit by a bullet or escaping to heaven depends on luck, and everyone only hates it. Having lost two legs, he ran away in a panic, and the nobles even drove their mounts to rampage in the crowd, completely disregarding the life and death of the leaders.

In the blink of an eye the wide avenue becomes a road of death.
