Chapter 346 Airborne Operations (IV)

"Okay, it seems they have reacted."

The officer looked at the various points of light rising from the ground, which were the characteristics displayed to the outside world when using the flying spell.

The spellcasters spread their wings through the spell model. Rather than saying that they were wings, they were jet engines that looked like wings.

It slowly and steadily threw back the mass to gain the ability for the caster to fly, and controlled the mental power that stabilized the spell model according to the energy flowing in the established spell circuit.

The trails scattered on the wings and the faint luster produced during flight were the same. The thrown mass could be observed briefly by the naked eye, and then dissolved into the air and disappeared within tens of minutes like ice melting into water.

As planned, the opponent's war mage troops would definitely take off to intercept them.

"Drop all the explosives. Don't leave too many dangerous items in the cabin for the next stage of the combat mission."

The officer waved to the soldiers and asked them to clear the remaining ammunition in the cabin.

When fighting with the war mages who control high temperature/heat energy, it is better not to keep too many dangerous items in the hull.

Otherwise, the secondary explosion can directly destroy this already fragile airship.

The arcane focuser in the camp needs war mages to be on duty, and the escort supply team and support team have transferred some war mages.

How many war mages are left in the camp to take off and intercept their airship fleet...

Is it enough to intercept their fleet of twenty-one airships?

Ji Lin's judgment is definitely not enough.

Forcing the enemy to transfer the war mages to other aspects can ensure that the airship will execute the plan as he planned.

A team of one hundred... no, fifty, fifty war mages can effectively repel the attack of the fleet.

When the war mages with the strongest mobility, the most suitable for mobile operations, and who have mastered the art of flying leave the camp one after another... that is the time for Ji Lin to attack.

After all, the airships produced by the territory are specialized in large-scale units and ground attacks. They are extremely flexible and can resist small-caliber ammunition attacks on war mages...

But then again, these war mages are really troublesome, and they are worthy of being the backbone of the magic civilization.

The only two things that can limit them are the magic power and mental power in their bodies. This is also the method that Ji Lin taught his subordinates to use, suppressing the spirit of the caster through uninterrupted shotgun attacks.

Shotguns fired by improved rifles, shotguns fired by 30mm support artillery, and shotgun barrages fired by 75mm ship-borne artillery.

Suppression, consumption.

Until they were forced to return to the ground for repairs.

Ji Lin sighed. Fortunately, the lords generally couldn't put together a war mage lineup of this scale of the Empire Expeditionary Force.

He has killed at least one hundred war mages in this war. This number of war mages is enough for any lord who is still practicing on the battlefield.

He can only become the backbone combat force of the Magic Empire's advance team here.

But the battle between spellcasters...

Ji Lin tapped the table lightly. There are more than just the advance team with spellcasters.

Eno looked at the adjutant beside her. She stretched out her hand to open a communication link spell model for her commander to temporarily connect all war mages.

Regional broadcast.

Twenty-six light spots rose from the ground. That was the number of all the flying war mages that the camp could mobilize at present, not many.

But facing the main fleet that had already been reduced once, there was still hope. If the opponent had enough ability to crush them, there would be no need to use so many plans to reduce the number of garrisons in the camp.

"All the war mages who took off, I am Eno, the commander-in-chief of the advance team. Now I issue an action order. All units intercept the enemy's main fleet that is heading towards the portal."

Your interception will buy time for the ground forces to gather, and buy very important time.

He looked at the main fleet of airships that was slowly moving closer to the portal.

"Besides that, you only have one task."

Eno looked at the slowly disappearing red tail in the sky. That was the way the other commander gave orders to the fleet.

That guy was too cunning, even his flagship was not much different from the surrounding ships.

But he knew that the enemy commander must be in one of the ships of the air fleet at this moment.

Only the commander at the forefront can make qualified decisions with the fastest reaction speed. In order to maintain the efficiency of his troops, he must put himself in the army.

A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

"Find their commander... kill him. Otherwise, we will all return to the empire as losers. This is the portal commander Eno, over."

Let his ship make an emergency landing and let his ship fall.

Let him see how the mages fight.

"Should we participate..."

The human and elven mages who chased the tail of the airship returned to the camp and realized that they should not need to report today's reconnaissance intelligence to the headquarters.

They put away their flying skills and gently landed on the high wall built by the camp.

Looking at the orange-red flames spreading in the camp, the high temperature generated by the explosion of the magic materials destroyed quickly ignited all the nearby buildings.

Line infantry in yellow clothes fled in the flames, while trolls and tree people used their own strength to cover the flames with mud to extinguish the fire that was spreading.

The spreading flames touched the unexploded bombs, and the explosive packs that had been extinguished/disabled due to various interferences during the falling process regained heat and completed their mission.

Occasionally, a dull thud would be heard in the fire scene, followed by a gorgeous flame ball that released its power in a much more dangerous form than usual.

Engulfed by the shock wave generated by the explosive pack, the thrown fire source fell on the surrounding buildings and began to burn, and the heat flow spread by the shock wave swept across the targets near the explosion site.

"Our magic power and mental power have been exhausted, and there is no way to participate in the battle."

The human mage's eyes fell on the airship that was constantly approaching the center in the distance. They were using the flashing and falling light points to create similar fires one after another.

They also received the broadcast from Eno... He had completed a round of reconnaissance missions, and his energy was consumed where it should be consumed. No one would blame them if they did not fight the enemy.

The colleagues who skipped work might not be so lucky.

"I, I still have some left."

The elven mage hesitated, and was a little undecided.

"My magic and mental power have been exhausted, and I can't participate in the battle."

If you want to go, go by yourself.

The human mage sat cross-legged and sighed softly.

He didn't want to participate in the battle.

They, the old mages who lost in the past imperial battles, must serve in the imperial army in exchange for their due status as mages.

Military service in exchange for mage citizenship.

The light points rose in the distance, and the scattered mages regrouped in the air like a flock of wandering geese to form an attack formation.

The war mages, led by the chief reader, formed a sharp blade in the air, facing the sunlight and launched their first round of attacks on the steel fleet that began to disperse and adjust its formation in the distance.

The feathers of light flowed like a stream, transforming into long blades.

So beautiful.
