Chapter 804: Lava Hell of Aquilias

As the pseudo-solar furnace behind him operated, orange GN particles sprayed all around, and the [Nightmare] Knights took off from the deck of [Sanctuary] one after another, closely following the Twelve Zodiacs and [Athena].

"It's the [Nightmare] Knights!" The reconnaissance plane hovering in the air recognized the Nightmare Knights at a glance. Not to mention the thirteen special machines leading the way, the pure black paint and the golden nightmare badge on the shoulder made it too recognizable.

Seeing the entire [Nightmare] Knights attack from the air, he was also shocked and immediately reported to the coastal command center, but at this time he found that the communication had been interrupted at some point, and the strong electromagnetic interference made the communication channel only have harsh electronic noise.

"Is this electromagnetic interference? No, I have to hurry..."

Just as the reconnaissance plane was about to turn its nose and find a way to leave the range of electromagnetic interference, a touch of orange light came into view, getting closer and brighter.

"So beautiful..."

"Boom~!"

The orange beam penetrated the enemy reconnaissance plane and exploded in the air.

"Hit, the enemy reconnaissance plane has been cleared." [Sakitalis] turned over and put away his gun, and Audrin reported to Yang Hui.

"Your Highness, the enemy air force is approaching." Audrin, who was driving [Libra], reported.

"Full speed forward, [Dorothy], [Jemini], [Caesar], [Ryan], [Aquilias], [Piskus], lead your team to continue moving forward, and the rest of you will work with me to eliminate the enemy's air force." Yang Hui ordered.

"Yes, your highness!" XN

The flying speed of the [Nightmare] Knights increased again, and [Athena] penetrated into the dense enemy aircraft group like a sword, and the enemy aircraft group was like a sparrow that was frightened and scattered.

"Why are there so many Knightmares? Didn't the intelligence say that Knightmares' flying technology has not been popularized!?"

"It's... it's the [Nightmare] Knights! Hurry... run!"

"Even if it's the [Nightmare] Knights, Knightmares can't be faster than fighters in the air! I must... boom~!"

"Eagle's Nest! Eagle's Nest! This is Eagle One! Please reply if you get it! Please reply if you get it... ah~!"

"Captain! Captain~!!"

Although Knightmare's flying technology has been exposed, and the aerospace carrier [Sanctuary] has also been exposed, after the exposure, all countries have conducted a lot of analysis and research on these two technologies. Scientific researchers in various countries have reached a consensus that these two technologies are too advanced, and the technical content involved is too high. The manufacturing cost must be very high and it is impossible to mass produce them. Moreover, the energy consumption must be very large, and the continuous combat time must not be long!

Therefore, all forces have developed tactics against Knightmare's flying technology and the aerospace carrier [Sanctuary] with human wave tactics and protracted warfare, and resolutely implement the "drag" strategy. As long as they drag until the energy is exhausted, it is their time to win.

How to drag? It's just one battleship and a few Knightmares. Are 100 fighters enough? If not, are 1,000 enough?

This is also the reason why the South American defenders dared to send air strike forces to carry out air strikes even though they knew that the enemy had Knightmare flight technology and the aerospace carrier [Sanctuary].

Who would have thought that the [Nightmare] Knights' attack again would slap these people in the face. All members were flying, and the human wave tactics failed. They still had the confidence to hold off just a few Knightmares, but dozens of them... that would be like hitting a mosquito!

[Athena] rushed into the startled flock of birds, firing continuously with both guns. In an instant, [Athena] was surrounded by a bright ring of flames, her wings spread, orange GN particles sprayed, the tips of her wings flashed with brilliance, and several brilliant beams shot out, naming the missed enemy planes.

"All planes disperse! The assault team moves forward!" While giving the order, [Athena] also crushed the cockpit of the fighter plane that wanted to pass under it.

"Yes, your highness!" XN

[Alyes], [Barug], [Scorpion], [Libra], [Sakitalis], [Caprico] led their respective teams to disperse in six directions. The split arrows not only penetrated the enemy formation, but also advanced and penetrated under the huge power, cutting the scattered flocks of birds into several pieces.

Why is it difficult to hunt flying birds? Because they are messy and aimless, so... surround them all and kill them!

[Dorothy], [Jemini], [Caesar], [Ryan], [Aquilias], [Piskus] and the six machines led their own teams, without even looking at the surrounding bird cages, and passed through the air raids of several bird cages without looking back, approaching the coastline and welcoming the anti-aircraft artillery fire of the coastline.

They turned into flexible peregrine falcons and shuttled freely in the dense anti-aircraft firepower network.

"Such a tight firepower network, we..."

"Suzaku, don't mind your business!" Seeing that Kururugi Suzaku had slowed down a bit and even started to lower his altitude, Fujido Kagashiro, who was closest to him, immediately spoke up to remind him.

"But..." Kururugi Suzaku wanted to lower the defense firepower to destroy the ground. This level of firepower was not a threat to them, but it was a huge threat to the conventional troops that followed.

"Follow your highness' orders, the battlefield is not a stage for individual heroes!" Fujido Kagashiro scolded.

A tragic battlefield may need heroes, because heroes can be beliefs and pillars, supporting the broken hearts of soldiers to continue fighting.

But the current battle is not tragic, and the morale of friendly forces does not need them to be heroes to maintain. They have their tasks, and conventional troops also have their responsibilities.

They can indeed lower the coastal defense line now and cause huge damage to the coastal defense line to reduce the pressure on conventional landing troops and reduce casualties.

But they have done everything. What is the meaning of conventional troops? They only have so many people. How many people are there in the conventional troops? How big is the battlefield? Do they go to rescue every time? Can they save it?

"...Yes, your highness." Kururugi Suzaku understood the truth, but he just couldn't bear it. After Fujido Kagashiro reminded him, he temporarily put away the idea of ​​disobeying orders.

Seeing [Piskus] speed up again and increase the altitude, Fujido Kagashiro nodded.

"Found it, two airports, three warehouses, and the rear command post." At this time, Orpheus's voice sounded in the communication channel, and their target had been found.

"Each team will disperse and destroy their own targets. [Dorothy], [Caesar], [Aquilias] will build a defensive line on the spot to block the rear reinforcements. [Ryan] and [Piskus] will follow me and raid the defense line from behind!" Fujitaro Kagami gave the instructions. This was also their tacit understanding.

The order of command authority of the Twelve Zodiacs is definitely Yang Hui, followed by Monica who has the best strategic vision, and the third is Regeni Regetta. The fourth is Fujitaro Kagami, because except for the above three people, the tactical command ability of the lower ones is similar. Fujitaro Kagami is not only the oldest, but also the strongest of the Twelve Zodiacs. He has the qualifications. The fifth is Jeremiah.

There is no need to arrange the rest, because if they continue to disperse, there will basically be no team to cooperate in combat. They will be responsible for leading their own teams to fight, and the coordination between them depends on their tacit understanding.

"Yes!" XN

The six teams dispersed, and [Aquilias] was lucky to be assigned to the nearest airport in a straight line.

"Get out of my way!"

Accompanied by Kallen's roar, [Aquilias] stretched out his silver arms, opened his sharp claws, and a small section of the red crystal in the center was exposed. The scarlet wave accumulated energy, and [Aquilias] fell from the sky like a meteor to the ground, passing through the anti-aircraft firepower, and pressed his palm hard on the ground.

Kallen's thumb flicked open the safety valve, pressed the red button hard, and then pushed the operating lever to the bottom. The output power on the screen instantly changed from green to red, reaching the threshold.

"Buzz buzz buzz..."

The scarlet radiation wave was transmitted from the gap to the ground, turning into ripples and spreading. The flat airport runway boiled, and the ground bulged one after another, and then burst. What was sprayed was not some disgusting pus, but the magma of destruction.

"Bang bang bang bang..."

Except for the ground under [Aquilias], which was still intact, the ground with a radius of one kilometer had turned into a lava hell, including the fighter warehouse and the command tower. The metal melted, and the people... had been vaporized after the explosion.

"Huh~ Cool!" [Aquilias] stood up, stretched his arms to open the heat dissipation vents, spraying hot air, and Kallen couldn't help but praise her masterpiece.

Ever since she got [Aquilias], she has been holding her breath, ready to kill everyone, but she encountered the fleet of Bnitalia at sea, Lelouch let Kururugi Suzaku attack, and she could only watch, which made her very unhappy, so she wanted to vent.

"Kallen, you've gone too far!" Kallen's vice-captain was glad that he didn't land after destroying the anti-aircraft guns at the airport, otherwise he would have been affected.

"Uh... Isn't this the pursuit of efficiency?" Kallen knew that she had gone too far, and she argued awkwardly.

"Stupid! If this airport is better preserved, we can still use it!"

"Sorry, I was wrong." Although Karen is the captain, her team members are all her seniors, and she is easily impulsive. She doesn't have the dignity of a captain in the team. Karen's biggest role as a captain is to charge into battle, and the command work is usually done by the calm deputy captain.

"Let's go, let's leave here, do you want to commit suicide by radiation?" The deputy captain scolded angrily.

"Uh, yes!" Karen wiped the sweat from her forehead and quickly drove the [Aquilias] into the air to leave this land of death.

"Is the energy enough?" The deputy captain asked Karen.

"Don't worry, there is still 76% left." Karen replied.

"Well, let's go, retreat a distance and then set up positions. Really, I know Chuzhen is very excited, but don't make such a big fuss!"

"Sorry! I was wrong!"

Although Kallen's burst was indeed the fastest to destroy the target, other directions were not much slower, so Kallen did not surpass others by much in terms of results except destroying the airport that could have been recycled and creating a dead area.

Oh, there should be one more thing. If the enemy's reinforcements advance from this direction, they should retreat directly after seeing the purgatory, right? Then wouldn't their mission be very easy?
