Fertile plain, the frontier of Tower IX site. .
"The target is six degrees and four minutes northeast, at a distance of 6,500, on one side of the area, apply for shelling coverage."
Sylvie was lying on Maisie's back, looking down at the ground not far ahead. A lot of turf on the ground had been overturned, and the scattered soil was still very fresh. It probably happened in the past two or three days. .
"It has been relayed." There was a short answer from Sha Wei soon after listening to Fu Yin, "The shelling will start in five minutes." At the end, she added, "Please pay attention to safety."
Sylvie involuntarily looked in the direction of Tachira, and now at this height, he was able to capture the location of the ruins of the holy city with the naked eye. Although there are still more than 50 kilometers, it looks smaller than a fingernail, but it gives her a feeling of being close at hand. The silhouette of the collapsed city mixes with the woods like a forgotten miniature sculpture.
Although it was beyond the observation range of the magic eye, she could still feel a shining red star twinkling. As long as it doesn't move, it means they're still temporarily in a safe position.
"Ok, I know."
She put away the talisman and patted Maisie's broad back, "Let's fly higher."
"Ow!"
Maisie, who was terrified of beasts, let out a long roar and spread her giant wings of nearly ten meters into the wind. Now her body is almost the size of two ordinary terrifying beasts. She can be called a giant among terrifying beasts. Cabradha is no less than the mutant that he is driving. But thinking that she turned into a pigeon is still the Big Mac among pigeons, Sylvie felt relieved.
After climbing about 100 meters, there was a dull sound of thunder behind him.
Then, several dust pillars suddenly sprang up from the ground in front of her, and ripples were clearly visible around the pillars. No matter how many times you enjoy it, such a scene is pleasing to the eye.
Then came the second and third rounds of thunder...
The calibrated artillery battalion has been able to accurately shoot the shells into the area marked by her. Because it is difficult to determine the area of the strike area in the air, it is usually replaced by a rough estimate, and one side is equivalent to the size of the Neverwinter Castle area. , about 16,400 square meters, is also one of the places she is most familiar with.
Covered by artillery fire, it didn't take long for Sylvie to see the stump that flew out along with the dust column.
A 152mm grenade is enough to create a crater about one meter deep, and the devil's lurking depth will not exceed fifty centimeters. This is still on the soil corroded by the red mist. If it is ordinary ground, at most, it will just cover its head. If it happens to be dropped on the head by a cannonball, then not even a complete corpse will be left.
Of course, it wasn't necessary for the grenade to hit accurately to kill the devil. The shock waves that bloomed in circles were the real killers, especially for targets buried in the ground. The body that fits closely with the soil means that there is no buffer, and the impact within 20 meters of the explosion will be fatal.
This kind of play that does not pay attention to the specific position of the enemy, but slams the entire area over the entire area, His Majesty calls it washing the ground.
After five rounds of artillery fire, the devil in ambush climbed out of the soil and began to flee backwards.
"The enemy has appeared, and it is determined to be a madman. Please shoot from the original angle." Sylvie Hui reported.
"receive."
Suddenly, she seemed to feel something, looked up at Tachira, the red star suddenly dazzled a lot, and flew towards the position quickly.
She immediately took out another listening talisman, "Lightning, come back quickly! The Demon Slayer is in action!"
Maisie also turned around at the same time and quickly evacuated the airspace.
After half an hour, the three returned to the air defense protection circle of the First Army, and the Demon Slayer also entered the direct line of sight of the Demon Eye. Sylvie saw the blue-skinned devil who looked like a human circled twice over the shelling area, and then stared coldly at the three people in the air, his expression full of killing intent.
In the process, the artillery battalion never stopped firing.
Although it was angry, it was powerless, Sylvie realized. Not even the mighty Demon Slayer can stop the roaring cannonballs from hunting down its kind.
In the end, it could only leave the mad demons running around and turn around and go back.
Sylvie immediately felt a lot less pressure.
"It's gone, let's go and investigate again?" Maisie shouted.
She glanced at Lightning who clenched her fist and finally shook her head, "Let's go here today, I still need to reserve some magic for the night. And I have swept the range of five or six kilometers around, enough to guarantee the engineering team. Safe for the last few days."
…
Returning to the underground command post at Site 9, Sylvie painted a piece of land on the map green, which is the area that was swept out today.
And green like this, almost surrounded the railway line.
"It's hard work," Dawn Chenguang stepped forward with a cup of black tea, "Lord Edith's exile plan seems to have worked."
Sylvie took the tea and said with a smile, "Well, so far it's true."
It's not the first time an encounter like this has happened.
In fact, since approaching to 100 kilometers to Takira, the danger of her reconnaissance has greatly increased To stay in the air for a long time with more air tanks.
Therefore, the staff has formulated a targeted exile plan, dividing the reconnaissance area into several layers, and 0-2 kilometers is an absolutely safe area. Every corner in this range has been swept by the magic eye, and then it is always under the vigilance of the site. , is unlikely to be attacked. At this distance, air defense squads can leave the trenches, providing a wider circle of protection.
2-10 kilometers is the screening area. This area is within the range of the fortress artillery strike, and it is also the main airspace for Sylvie and Maisie. Once cleaned, it is considered relatively safe and marked in green on the map.
10-50 kilometers is a dangerous area, and only Lightning is reconnaissance here. The purpose is to find out those enemies hiding in the clouds and give early warning, which is equivalent to fighting for Maisie and Sylvie to withdraw time. Only Lightning has the ability to instantly get rid of the enemy's pursuit within this distance, even if the opponent is a demon slayer, it is impossible to catch up with the witch who has entered the speed of sound.
Facts have proved that the exile plan is quite effective, the reconnaissance team can completely decide when to attack, and the enemy can only passively intercept. If there is no ground army to cooperate with the attack, it is difficult to damage the armored trains on the front line with the Dread Beast alone.
Turn the screening area into a safe area step by step, pull out the nails set by the devil, and at the same time banish the most threatening demon slayer from the battlefield, leaving him with all his strength, but unable to grasp the tail of the reconnaissance team. This is the core idea of the plan. If it can make the opponent lose their minds and rush to the front line of defense, it will be a better result.
The only regret is that the Demon Slayer has yet to show signs of losing control.
"By the way," Sylvie looked around, "Miss Pearl of the North... Where is she?"
"I received His Majesty's order to return to Neverwinter with Iron Axe on the Seagull," Fei Lin replied with a smile, "I think it should be that time."
The final pre-battle meeting to discuss the final battle plan!
