Chapter 223: The Iron Curtain Device of the Frozen Banshee

Because Russia did not continue to block the Paladin's fleet, the Paladin's fleet entered the Russian air defense network very smoothly. However, because it needed to make room for the American fleet, the fleet area was not large enough. What is avoided is to expand it, and in this case it is not a good thing for Russian players. Of course, everyone has already come in, so it's useless to be angry at this time.

As soon as the fleets on both sides completed the mixing, the aircraft in front had already arrived outside the mixed fleet's anti-aircraft fire network. However, these flying units did not rush in, but circled around the perimeter of the mixed fleet's fire network.

"What are they waiting for?" Looking at the flying units circling in the sky, the Frozen Banshee asked in confusion.

She didn't expect anyone to answer her question, but she didn't expect that she suddenly heard a strange voice say: "It should be waiting for some other weapon to be ready."

The Frozen Banshee looked back in surprise, and then realized that the person speaking was actually the Gunslinger.

"Why did you come to my boat?"

"Russian friends have held up a protective umbrella for us. We can't just say nothing, right?"

"Show?" the Frozen Banshee asked disdainfully: "Are you going to give us money or give us something?"

"None of them." Gunslinger said, "But I can also hold up a protective umbrella for you, just like you did for us."

"Put up a protective umbrella for us? Just you?" Of course the Frozen Banshee didn't believe that this was happening, because the Holy Spear Alliance couldn't even protect itself. How can we protect them?

"You don't seem to believe it." After the gun god finished speaking, he said directly without waiting for the Frozen Banshee to say something: "Actually, I also know that normal people will not believe it, but we do have ways to protect you. , but the scope of our protection is different from yours. If you don't mind, I hope you can give an order to let your warships allow our air defense forces to land on your decks. Don't worry, our people will not enter your warships Inside, just on deck.”

The Frozen Banshee was a very shrewd person, and she guessed what the so-called protective umbrella was just through the Gunslinger's words.

The reason why the Holy Spear League is called the Holy Spear League is because more than 70% of the players in this guild are Musketeers, so it has such a name. Precisely because there are many musketeers, the Paladin League can specifically develop weapons such as muskets. Thereby strengthening the strength of the guild.

No matter how powerful the muskets are in reality, they are still guns. But games are different. For example, the Gun God's own gun, if used with special modes and special ammunition, is as powerful as the main guns of large starships in science fiction movies. Of course, that kind of super-standard product is rare after all. But it is not too difficult to strengthen a weapon strong enough to shoot down airplanes.

There are so many musketeers in the Holy Lancers. Many of them must have the ability to shoot down aircraft. However, let’s not mention the hit rate and power of using the player’s musket to hit the aircraft in the sky. At least the range is very problematic. Therefore, the Frozen Banshee guessed in an instant that the Holy Spear Alliance did not actually have no air defense capabilities, but that their air defense capabilities were biased toward low-altitude and close-range defense. If it is air defense on the ground, it is basically not a big problem, because as long as the opponent can't hit their people, it doesn't matter. The ground is not afraid of bombs anyway. But conversely, this air defense capability is obviously not enough during naval battles.

The reason why the Holy Lancers need the Russians to help them with their air defense is because they lack a long-range air defense network, so they have to rely on the Russians' air defense capabilities. However, on the premise that a long-range air defense network already exists, the Paladin's air defense network can play a supplementary role, making the air defense network three-dimensional and complete. Therefore, what the Gun God said is not a big lie. They can indeed provide a layer of close protection for the Russian fleet.

Of course the Frozen Banshee would not refuse such a good thing. She quickly agreed to the Gunslinger's request and notified the captains of each battleship to be careful not to cause conflicts.

After getting permission, the gunman just asked his men to go back and notify the prevention and control personnel to board the ship, but he did not go back. The Frozen Banshee looked at the Gunslinger in surprise and asked, "Do you have anything else?"

The Gunslinger knew that the Frozen Banshee wanted to ask him why he hadn't left yet. He didn't make any detours and answered directly: "I plan to jointly command with you. After all, our fleets are now mixed. If the command orders from both sides If there is no coordination, trouble will easily occur. You don’t want to be taken advantage of by the Chinese, right?”

After looking at the Gunslinger for a long time, the Frozen Banshee just said: "As you wish." Then she stopped talking to him, and the Gunslinger started directing his people to set up here as if he was familiar with it. Here comes their command.

The Russian fleet and the Paladin alliance's fleet have been mixed and completed their air defense deployment. However, at this time, the aircraft hovering over the fleets of both sides were still unprepared to launch air strikes and were still playing in circles. However, just when the group of American and Russian players below were getting impatient, a familiar scream suddenly came from the front.

"Damn, it's a long-range bombardment."

Because the previous bombardment had been suspended for a long time, coupled with subsequent mine attacks and air force threats, and finally the Paladin fleet forcibly broke into the Russian fleet formation, this series of events has been forgotten by many people. In the distance beyond the invisible horizon, there is a fleet with long-range bombardment capabilities, staring at them eagerly. However, now they all thought of this fleet, because the cannonballs had already reached their heads.

For air defense, the Russian and American fleets have gathered together. Although it is not as exaggerated as a ship against a ship, the distance between the two warships is actually only the length of one warship. In other words, the distance between battleships is now generally only three to three hundred meters. For the warships in the game that are often two to three hundred meters long, this is equivalent to sailing close together. Such a dense fleet was suddenly attacked by covering fire, and the consequences can be imagined.

Accompanied by a rising water column. Dozens of huge fireballs rose into the sky. At least a dozen warships were hit in an area on the right front of the fleet. Basically, the warships that were hit were hit by more than three people at the same time, and were almost sunk on the spot.

Looking at the battleship that was starting to sink with billowing smoke, the Frozen Banshee and the Gunslinger both had solemn expressions and remained silent.

The interval between this round of shelling was less than thirty seconds, and the second round of shelling followed, but the area covered by the barrage this time was obviously much larger than the last time, and there were basically not many shells hitting the water this time. Almost all the incoming shells hit their targets. Huge fireballs rose from the surface of at least hundreds of warships, and half of them immediately began to slow down at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Damn it. How come these Chinese cannonballs are so accurate?" The gunman complained as he just got up from his seat. The Russian warship they were on was also hit just now. A shell landed directly on the front turret shield of No. 2 turret. Although this position is the thickest armored position on the turret, the enhanced armor-breaking shells fired from the 633mm main gun still blew up the entire front of the No. 2 turret. There should have been three barrels. There is now only a large continuous hole left in the position, and even the back of the No. 1 turret in front of the No. 2 turret is obviously dented with a large piece.

Although this shell did not cause any irreparable damage to the battleship itself. But the vibration caused everyone in the bridge to stumble. The Gunslinger was not spared either.

The Frozen Banshee looked at the smoke billowing from the No. 2 turret and ordered the people around her: "Inform the ammunition team to withdraw the ammunition from the No. 2 turret and distribute it evenly to the remaining three turrets."

"clear."

"Do you think Ziri intends to use these flying units to force us to gather the fleet so that they can bombard us?" the Gunslinger asked, looking at the Frozen Banshee.

The Frozen Banshee glanced at the Gunslinger and said, "No. On the contrary. They are forcing us to disperse."

"Why are you so sure?" Gunslinger asked doubtfully.

The Frozen Banshee pointed to the top of her head and said: "Because their cannonballs can only cause us to lose some battleships, but those things can destroy our entire fleet."

The Gunslinger looked up at the things above his head, and then suddenly said: "But if we keep gathering together like this. Is the damage from the shelling too serious?"

The Frozen Banshee shook her head and said: "No, the damage caused by the bombardment looks very sad, but in fact it will not hurt the roots. But once we disperse, the consequences will be hard to say."

"Actually, I think it won't be of much use even if we don't disperse." As soon as the Gunslinger finished speaking, the Frozen Banshee looked over in confusion, only to find that the Gunslinger was pointing diagonally upward.

The Frozen Banshee turned her head away in confusion, then her expression suddenly became quite exaggerated, and then she screamed in surprise. "Damn it. Kasha, go tell Donovan to open the Iron Curtain, there is no time to hide now!"

"Iron Curtain?" The Gunslinger looked at the Frozen Banshee in confusion, wanting to know what this Iron Curtain was, but the latter had no time to pay attention to him.

Shortly after the girl called by the Frozen Banshee left, changes suddenly occurred on several warships in specific locations in the Russian fleet. I saw that the central control tower of one of the battleships located at the front of the fleet suddenly separated to both sides and gradually fell down, while the second turret at the rear of the battleship and a series of superstructures on the central axis unfolded to both sides, revealing a Huge gully. In this large ditch, a long stick-like object is gradually being supported by two thick hydraulic rods. At first, it felt like this thing looked like an oversized crane arm, but soon those players who didn't understand it soon discovered that this thing was not a jib at all, because there was no hook installed on it at all.

As the huge crane-like thing was lifted up, the thing really began to extend forward step by step like a telescopic boom. However, after unfolding four or five sections, the top of the thing did not become a Instead of a hook, it decomposed from a hexagonal structure and stretched out a bunch of hedgehog-like antennas. At that moment it felt like the top of the thing turned into a giant dandelion.

As the dandelion-like structure fully unfolded, the thick stick also stood up completely, and the height of this thing was as high as three hundred meters. It looked as if it would break if the wind blew.

In fact, this ship is not the only one that has undergone this kind of deformation. There are many nearby ships that have undergone such deformation. Then, the gunner soon discovered that there were many warships of this structure in the Russian fleet.

"What on earth are you hiding here?"

"Iron Curtain Device." The busy Frozen Banshee finally had time to explain this thing to the Gunslinger. "It's actually an enhanced version of the protective shield, but we have improved this thing by breaking down the central power source into multiple parts and installing them on different battleships. In this way, even if one or two nodes are destroyed, it will not cause The protective shield suddenly loses its effect. Moreover, this kind of multi-point energy supply protective shield has another advantage, that is, it has sufficient energy and can produce strong protective capabilities."

"Are you sure your Iron Curtain can block that thing?" The gunman pointed diagonally upward with uncertainty. It was the thing that forced the Frozen Banshee to take out this Iron Curtain device regardless of exposing her trump card in advance.

In fact, the reason why the frozen banshee was so rude just now was not because of anything else. But because the Frost Rose and the Eternal led the guild's only open air fleet to appear.

In fact, our guild has many air battleships, but most of them are hidden and have been posing as surface ships. In fact, about 20% of the battleships in our guild have completed the replacement of air battleships at this time, which means that there are actually many air battleships sailing on the sea in the fleet of our Frost Rose Alliance. Just because they never fly. So no one knows.

The guilds outside all think that our Frost Rose Alliance only has a total of about 200 air battleships. Little do they know that our air battleships actually exceed 2,000.

The two hundred or so ships that have appeared now are the air fleets of our guild that are open to the public, but the so-called public disclosure does not actually mean that they appear in front of everyone for you to visit. In fact, these air battleships are still in a secretive state. Others can only occasionally see these air battleships when they set sail or return to port. In most cases no one knows where these warships are or what they are doing. Anyway, it is so mysterious that no one can figure out the situation.

The real role of these air battleships is not to fight, but to attract attention. Because we have been covering up the matter of these air battleships, other guilds have focused all their attention on these air battleships. Little did they know that right under their noses, there was a sound coming from the port of Essinger. Hundreds of air battleships. This method of hiding the plank roads in the dark is very effective. At least no one knows how many aerial warships we have.

Of course, the reason why the Frozen Banshee reacted so strongly is not because our guild has many aerial battleships. The two hundred or so air battleships that just appeared are the two hundred or so air battleships we usually use to attract firepower, not the hidden air battleships. However, although the number is not large, the size of the Frost Rose and the Eternity is really exaggerated. Of course, Guangda is useless, and the Frozen Banshee cannot be directly frightened by seeing a large aerial battleship. Otherwise, wouldn't Essinger Mobile Fortress be surrounded by a large number of enemies surrendering wherever it flies?

What really frightens the Frozen Banshee is that the Frost Rose suddenly descended from the clouds, and just now its bow part folded and unfolded like their Iron Curtain device, and then revealed a Big hole.

This hole is located in the middle of the Frost Rose's trunk. It looks a bit like the air inlet of a turbofan engine used on a large passenger aircraft. However, in this circular air inlet, there are three full rings of light consisting of short blue rod-shaped gratings pointing to the center of the circle. At this time, these short blue rods that make up the halo are gradually shining, and the light It is getting stronger and stronger, and at the center of the circle they point to, a bright white small dot is growing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and can also get stuck in the surrounding gratings. From time to time, blue arcs converge to the center. Above this ball of light.

Even a fool can see that this is definitely a heavy weapon, and it is at least the kind of thing that can kill several battleships at once. It was precisely because of the sudden appearance of this thing that the Frozen Banshee activated the Iron Curtain device urgently, because she couldn't afford the gamble, and she was worried that if we let us launch first, her trump card might not exist. Because the power of that thing in the sky doesn't look weak at all.

The Russian Iron Curtain device started later than ours, but it was completed quickly. After those huge dandelion-like things stood up, they began to shine with a dazzling blue light, and then began to shoot blue arcs towards the sky. These arcs seemed to have hit something after flying dozens of meters away. Spreading around, a large fan-shaped area was soon formed, and then the fan-shaped light films emitted by multiple "dandelions" were connected together, eventually forming such a huge hemispherical light mask covering the entire fleet.

"Holy shit, what the hell is that?" At this time in the sky, King Chuang and I were also stunned as we looked at the huge protective shield below. The appearance of this thing is really a bit beyond our expectations.

"It looks like some kind of protective shield?" As the president of the Frost Rose Alliance, I know a little bit about technical things. Besides, most people will guess the protective shield after reading this thing. After all, except for the launch method, it is a bit strange. Besides, this thing is essentially not much different from an ordinary protective shield, right?

Shura Ziyi suddenly used the communicator to ask: "President, do we still want to open fire here?"

"Of course. Why not? Just try to see if the Russian protective shield is strong enough."
