Chapter 557 Hammer Drop (Ten)

Cloud Whale, parking square.

This square, which was cleaned by the Crusaders, is now covered with blood. Irregular curved iron-gray lines surround the entire square from the outermost edge, and occasionally extend iron wires to pierce the corpses and drag stones into the iron nets to gnaw.

The technical sergeant of the army hammered the anchor nails into the body of the cloud whale one by one, and used the steam nail gun he carried to send the exploration spikes into the body of the cloud whale and pierce its bones.

Each technical sergeant/military engineer assigned to the industrial command ship to be responsible for mining has his own portable engineering steam nail gun for exploring veins and measuring geology.

Set up the support, punch holes, drill holes, and then place explosives along the gap.

When necessary, the nail gun in the engineer's hand can also be raised to give a fatal blow to the approaching monster.

After being improved, it can also play a similar role to a gas nail gun, launching long nails together with explosives, like a handheld harpoon launcher... This thing originated from the steam impact nail gun on the steam mecha soldiers, and its killing effect on armored units is as considerable as it is on rocks.

Now they took the dark cables hanging from the sky and tied them to the long nails, using this engineering steam nail gun to connect the cloud whale's skeleton and floating stone resonance cavity to the airship with magic long nails.

As long as it is connected to the airship's power supply network, the airship can share part of its energy with the cloud whale's floating stone resonance cavity and skeleton, allowing it to slightly restore its original floating ability.

Just like the frog in the biology class whose spine was cut off and could still twitch with electric current, using external power to forcibly awaken the body's functions.

"Anchoring completed! Captain, it's time to fire the flare!" A technical sergeant stood on the big head of the cloud whale and waved to him: "Part of the ghost vine on the back of the cloud whale is missing!"

When the priests of the Holy See got the body of the cloud whale, they cut off a part of the ghost vine for preservation and inspection. They didn't know what the plants growing on the back of the sky whale were used for.

The officer put a green flare into the signal gun, pointed it at the sky and pulled the trigger, raised his head and responded: "We don't have time to fight with these crusaders in the street. Damn it, we are not here to mince meat with them. The fire cover provided by the command ship will last for a maximum of one hour! Prepare to retreat!"

The green flame incendiary bomb made of metal powder and crystal ore rose into the sky. The airships that were hovering in the air and continuously suppressing the houses that had been swept into ruins received the signal and began to shrink their defense area, surrounding the six airships with steel cables hanging in the center.

The nested ring formed by two layers of airships protected the body of the cloud whale in the center of the square.

The captain waved his hand and switched his vision from normal to observation. The world around him was immediately covered by a layer of gray fog.

In this layer of mist, there was a light blue liquid fog that was different from the gray fog. This was the embodiment of the energy in the magic device. He could see a very light white light fog flickering not far away... That should be the trace left in the air after the priests of the Church cast a spell.

The appearance of light blue liquid fog meant that the airship was transferring energy into the body of the cloud whale to awaken its body functions.

The captain observed the flow of energy and loaded a new green-painted flare into the gun chamber, telling the airships that they could prepare to take off and tow the cloud whale.

There were quite a few spellcasters in the entire army. If we only talk about the proportion of spellcasters, the proportion of spellcasters in the territory was much higher than that of the army of the Church.

They were just not used to casting spells.

It was simply that Ji Lin's manual did not tell them how to use magic. Compared with magic, officers and soldiers believed more in the rifles in their hands. The most used magic was the cigarette lighting spell (ignition spell) and the face washing spell (water making spell).

They trusted the mechanical devices more than themselves.

Ji Lin sometimes didn't know whether this was good or bad.

"Prepare to take off. After leaving the artillery ballistic area, let the major fire all the shells." The captain clapped his hands and said to the other officers around him: "Okay, we should withdraw. The rest is not our business."

Their mission has been completed, and the industrial command ship responsible for providing them with fire cover can freely pour out firepower.
