Chapter 2879 Magical Camouflage
As early as five years ago, Prince Kolofa made a big deal with Roland Kolas, who was still the crown prince of the Far East at the time, to exchange the Canaan Pegasus for the magic airship used by the Far East Army.
The first two "Dawn-class" airships delivered in the Far East were sent directly to the arsenal as soon as they arrived in Canaan, where they were brutally dismantled.
Prince Colofa gathered all the domestic experts in magic structure and gave them a mission - to dismantle the imported magic airship, figure out the design principle and craft details as soon as possible, and try to imitate it.
This secret "reverse engineering" has been carried out for three full years.
Canaan's military technical team lived up to the expectations of His Royal Highness, not only thoroughly understood the design and manufacturing process of the "Dawn-class" airship, but also boldly improved the floating module on the basis of the original version, increasing the load capacity of the airship from 220 tons to 300 tons, the number of aviation cannons increased from 8 to 12, and one of the most innovative improvements is to add a "magic camouflage system" to the airship.
After the "magic camouflage system" is turned on, the airship will be covered by an illusion barrier, like a chameleon lurking in the rainforest, which can change its color according to the background of the airspace it sails through, and blend with the surrounding environment, making it almost invisible.
The six airships sent to Delin Town to participate in the battle this time are the improved version of the "Dawn Class" produced by the Canaan Military Factory, and it is also the first time this airship has participated in actual combat.
Prince Colofa personally supervised the battle. In fact, a very important purpose is to test the performance of the new airship in actual combat.
Tonight, at the same time as the Knights of the Blue Sky went to carry out the bombing mission, the six airships also activated the "magic camouflage system". Maintain a silent suspension state.
It wasn't until the Knights of the Blue Sky came back from a feigned defeat, followed by swarms of giant crows, that the invisible airship fleet carried out the order of His Royal Highness, restarted the engine, and rushed out of the clouds one after another with the roar of the motor shaking the night sky. Straight into the crowd of giant crows, and fired!
The formation of giant crows was dispersed by the six roaring and roaring silver giant whales, and they were at a loss for a while, flapping their wings and screaming, but this panicked cry was quickly suppressed by the terrifying gunfire.
The gun windows on both sides of the airship were opened, and the eight aviation cannons sprayed electric light at the same time. The shells whistling out of the chamber were mixed with tracer bullets, pulling out flashing trails in the night sky, and ruthlessly strafing the panicked giant crows.
In an instant, hundreds of giant crows were shot and torn apart, leaving no whole bodies dead.
The rest of the giant crows were also frightened and fled away from the airship fleet.
At this time, the knights of the sky who lured the giant crows into the trap turned around and turned back. Pegasus spread its snow-white wings and soared in the night sky, chasing and killing the panicking giant crows like lightning.
The knight on the back of the Pegasus sniped with a gun, and cooperated with the fierce ship-borne machine gun to strangle the enemy. The roar of the gunfire continued until dawn. When the fierce battle was over, less than two hundred giant crows were left and fled back to their positions.
So far, air supremacy on the battlefield has completely fallen into the hands of the Continental Army.
General Cornwallis witnessed the tragedy that took place in the night sky with his own eyes through the "detection crystal". He regretted and was deeply worried, so he moved his headquarters into the underground air-raid shelter overnight.
General Cornwallis proved to be prescient.
The Knights of the Blue Sky returned to the voyage victoriously, and dispatched again after resting all morning, covering the airship fleet swaggeringly flying over the Fizhen army position, six airships opened their belly hatches one after another, like an old hen laying eggs, pouring a string of heavy bombs Poured on the ground.
The sound of the explosion resounded through the camp, the sand was flying, and the smoke was soaring into the sky. The camp suddenly turned into a sea of flames, and the air seemed to be burning.
Numerous barracks were set alight, and Fizen soldiers covered in flames struggled desperately in the thick smoke and flames. The sea of flames was filled with the neighing of war horses and the desperate groans of wounded soldiers.
The six magical airships dropped nearly 100 tons of incendiary bombs filled with alchemy gunpowder, and then turned back calmly.
After the air raid, General Kang Huali led his staff and ran out of the air-raid shelter in a hurry. Looking at the enemy airships and Pegasus knights going away in the air, and then looking around at the horrible scene on the battlefield, he almost had a heart attack on the spot!
From Freeport to Prince Port, and then to Leiden City, officers and soldiers at all levels in Fiji have long been accustomed to this scene of indiscriminate bombing and burning the city, but in the past it was the position of the Fiji Vacuum Army bombing the Continental Army, but today it is reversed , I also tasted what it was like to be attacked by air.
This taste is really uncomfortable.
General Kang Huali's face was livid, and while urging his subordinates to put out the fire and treat the wounded, he also secretly made up his mind - the battle must be resolved quickly!
In this era, no matter how strong the air force is, it is only a supporting role on the battlefield, and victory or defeat ultimately depends on the confrontation of ground forces.
Since the enemy's unscrupulous air strikes cannot be stopped, the only way out is to launch a general ground attack as soon as possible - you bomb yours, I hit mine, even with the bombs falling from the top of your head, you must flatten Delin Town in one go!
Forced to give up the air supremacy, General Kang Huali was furious, but he was confident that he could defeat his opponent on the ground battlefield, because he still had a "trump card" in his hand, which was the "trump card" that Queen Huaia brought from Kalydon Island. The legendary colossus of the princess.
From Midgard City to Freeport, then to Port Prince and Leiden City, the Flesh Colossus played a key role in the previous siege battles. General Cornwallis did not think that a small town of Delin could stop the Colossus' footsteps.
Of course, he will not forget that in the mineral vein war six years ago, the flesh and blood colossus was smashed on the spot by a steel meteorite falling from the sky outside the gate of Linyuan Castle, which led to the defeat of the entire battle.
At that time, General Kang Huali was the commander of the Feizhen Army. As a witness to the fiasco, he didn't want to repeat the same mistakes in Delin Town, so he invited Queen Huaia to attend the battle meeting that afternoon, and proposed a quick solution. Remind the Queen of Huaia to beware of the Colossus being destroyed by bombs dropped by the enemy air force.
"Hahahaha! Don't worry, General, I won't suffer the same loss a second time. If those rebels still dare to litter my princess's head, I guarantee they will regret it forever!"
Queen Huaia laughed loudly, but a mysterious and cruel light shone in her eyes.
...
On the second day after the camp was attacked by air, in the early morning of September 28, 1627, Thomas Cornwallis launched a general offensive with his entire army, and the Battle of Derlin Town, which decided the fate of Alfheim and even the entire New World, began.
At this time, neither of the two warring parties has noticed that there is a mysterious eye in the dark area deep under their feet, silently watching the war-torn hometown through a magic mirror.
