Chapter 2882 Bombing the Colossus
Three hundred celestial horses surrounded six airships, approaching the flesh and blood colossus from a high altitude, ready to carry out the bombing mission.
At the same time, the more than 200 infantry artillery on the Continental Army's position also roared, blasting a rain of bullets like a hailstorm towards the flesh and blood colossus.
The sound of the guns aroused Queen Huaia's vigilance. She manipulated the colossus to stop her steps, and took out a huge shield made of green ice from the weapon compartment inside her backhand, and raised it with one hand to block the oncoming shells.
The projectile fired by the infantry cannon was a 12-pound iron ball, which bounced off the shield thicker than the fortress wall in the hands of the colossus, leaving only a scar, which could not stop the flesh and blood colossus from advancing.
The first round of shelling was ineffective. General Green frowned and looked up at the sky. He could only hope that the bombardment from the air could severely damage the Flesh Colossus.
On the same battlefield, General Cornwallis was also closely watching the situation in the sky. He noticed that the fleet of airships and a large group of Pegasus were moving over the flesh and blood colossus. He immediately guessed the enemy's intentions and quickly ordered the only remaining two regiments of giant crows Raise alert.
The Sky Knights have a "Courage Halo", which is immune to the aura of fear emanating from the Flesh Colossus, but the Giant Crow does not have this ability. Instead, its morale is weakened by its own Colossus, and it is powerless to stop the opponent's air attack.
The knights of the blue sky dispersed the giant crows, protected the mothership to reach the predetermined airspace, and kept hovering slowly a thousand feet above the head of the flesh and blood colossus. A solemn warning from Prince Koluofa came from the magic broadcast in the cockpit.
"Keep the sailing altitude above 600 feet. If it is lower than this altitude, it may touch the mythical anti-magic field radiated by the flesh and blood colossus, causing the floating module to fail!"
The floating module that the magic airship relies on to counteract gravity is essentially a magic device attached to the "levitation technique". It will of course fail when suppressed by the anti-magic field, causing the airship to lose control, fall headlong, and end up being destroyed death.
The six airships were maintained at a relatively safe height, lined up in a row, slowly drifting over the flesh and blood colossus in turn, opened the belly hatch, and dropped a bunch of cluster bombs.
The aerial bombs installed by the Azure Knights are only 500 pounds in size, and their power is not enough to seriously damage the flesh and blood colossus.
In order to carry out today's special air strike mission, the ground crew of the Azure Knights bundled four aerial bombs together and temporarily modified them into a cluster bomb with a total weight of one ton. According to calculations on paper, it should be able to cause damage to the Flesh Colossus. Fatal blow.
Of course, this is only the best theoretical result, and there is neither time nor conditions to test it before the war.
Disturbed by air currents, the first set of cluster bombs dropped too far away from the target, exploded violently the moment it hit the ground, splashing sand, flames, and gunpowder smoke gathered into mushroom clouds, obscuring vision.
The knights of the blue sky quickly released the "wind making technique" collectively to disperse the smoke and dust in the sky. They were disappointed to find that the flesh and blood colossus was still standing on the ground, and the surrounding ground was blown into huge craters. Shuo's body was torn apart by the shrapnel, and the bloody corpse lay down near the crater. The still-breathed giant was still moaning and convulsing.
Queen Huaia sensed the threat from the sky, but her response was unexpected.
Manipulating the giant statue to kneel on one knee, propping up a huge shield to resist the continuous artillery fire from the opposite side, and making a long cry, urging the bound spirit guards flying around the giant statue to rise to the sky and attack the airship.
This approach is really confusing.
Indeed, incorporeal undead creatures like "bound spirits" are very suitable for dealing with magical airships. With their incorporeal characteristics, they can directly penetrate the airship's thick steel armor and break into the cabin to assassinate the crew.
But don't forget, there are three whole wings of Azur Knights escorting the airship fleet!
Azur Knight is a branch of paladins. The professional ability "Channel Positive Energy" is designed to restrain undead creatures. It doesn't matter whether you are incorporeal or solid undead creatures, you will be overwhelmed by the positive energy shock wave!
Queen Huaia sent the "Bound Spirit Guards" into the sky to escort them, it was really difficult for this group of incorporeal undead.
A large group of blue sky knights swooped down on flying horses, blessed with "protection against evil" in advance to resist the entanglement of evil spirits, and guided positive energy when they approached the bound spirits, and silver brilliance spewed out from their bodies. up.
According to this momentum, if the Blue Sky Knights collectively release a wave of positive energy, they will be able to wipe out the bound spirit guards.
However, at this moment, the flesh and blood colossus raised its hand and pointed to the sky, releasing the 6th-level spell "Death Circle" strengthened by the "Spell Expansion" supermagic. No less than ten blue sky knights were engulfed together.
The melee area between the Sky Knight and the Bound Spirit Guard is located at the border of the mythical anti-magic field, and the mythical anti-magic field of the Flesh Colossus is set to exempt from "necromancer magic and all supernatural abilities that invoke negative energy", which will not hinder itself Cast "Death Circle".
The blue sky knights who were unfortunately recruited, together with the Pegasus horses they were riding, were massacred by the "death circle" in an instant, while the bound spirits who were also eroded by negative energy were equivalent to being healed and regained their vitality.
Seeing this scene through the "detection crystal ball", Prince Colofa quickly issued an order with the communication crystal, telling the blue sky knight not to get entangled with the group of bound spirits acting as bait, and get out of the attack range of the "death circle" as soon as possible. It is enough to prevent the wraith from invading the airship.
The few bound spirits that caught up were quickly beheaded by the blue sky knights. At this time, the battle zone was out of the range of the flesh and blood colossus. Queen Huaia had no choice but to call the remaining bound spirits back to the giant statue. The confrontation between the airship and the giant statue on the ground resumed.
At this moment, another airship opened its hatch and dropped cluster bombs at the Flesh Colossus.
The bomb landed right on, forcing Queen Huaia to activate the "emergency avoidance mode" of the Flesh Colossus and turn into an incorporeal form.
The bomb without any special effects of enchantment passed through the incorporeal colossus without hindrance, hit the ground, and immediately exploded violently. The scene of rising smoke and dust was spectacular, but it was a pity that it could not effectively kill the incorporeal colossus.
This situation was actually expected by the bombing team.
The first two waves of bombing were mainly to collect data, correct the trajectory of the bombing, and ensure the accuracy of the bombing.
In the next wave of bombing, the cluster bombs dropped by the airship reduced the amount of charge, freeing up more space for pouring "holy water"!
This "holy water bomb" is designed to restrain undead creatures. It landed at the feet of the giant statue and exploded with a bang. The shrapnel penetrated the incorporeal giant statue unhindered, but the holy water sprayed over it ignited it, and its huge body was covered by silver flames. Surrounded, trembling and twisting in pain.
