At the same time, Roland stood at the top of the castle and watched the group of planes go away.
"Is this too fast?" Nightingale said with some concern. "The new biplanes were delivered here a day ago, and they haven't even completed the formal bomb-dropping training."
Having been with Roland for a long time, she has a basic understanding of the combat process of the First Army. Whenever a new plan is released, rehearsal is an indispensable part. First, the staff repeatedly conducts paper deductions, and only after confirming that there is a high degree of feasibility, will it be transferred to the actual exercise stage. Although this operation was originally intended to prepare for the brilliance of the sun, it was also a relatively independent operation itself. According to convention, the participants should practice the bomb-dropping content before putting it into practice.
"Indeed, but time waits for no one." Roland nodded, "All reports so far show that Hykezord did not appear in the mountain blocking battle... In other words, the letter played a role. The problem is the Lord of the Vault of Heaven. Suspicious by nature, no one knows how long a letter can keep an opponent off the battlefield, so the sooner this air strike goes on, the better."
In essence, it is as tentative as sniper warfare - how will the enemy respond to an air strike? Does the God of Divine Construct have corresponding defense means? These are all questions that need to be confirmed before the final battle.
"Then... is it really okay not to train?"
"Don't worry," Roland smiled, "Tilly has already come up with a countermeasure."
Horizontal bombing is a technical task, which requires the cooperation of personnel and equipment on the aircraft. What's more, in order to seize the time, the first batch of Skywrath delivered did not have bombing sights installed, even if they wanted to train, it was impossible to talk about.
The plan given by Tilly is to let Sylvie act as the command center—as long as the speed and altitude of the aircraft are determined, the impact point can be calculated, so the entire bombing process becomes extremely simple, and the driver does not even need to To observe the ground, just pull the unlock trigger when you hear the bomb command.
This idea is somewhat similar to the early warning aircraft of later generations. The enemy search, positioning and tracking are all completed by a third party. When the firing data is transmitted to the combat aircraft, the latter will turn on the fire control radar and complete the final attack.
The Seagull is the early warning aircraft that controls the overall situation.
"So that's what happened." After listening to his explanation, Nightingale showed a stunned expression, "As expected of His Highness Tilly..."
"Oh?" Roland raised his eyebrows, "I thought you would express emotion, but you alone don't understand anything."
"Hmph, if it was possible before." She rolled her eyes, "But with Anna there, even people who know more will feel like they don't understand anything. I'm used to it."
Roland couldn't help but be dumbfounded, this is not a glorious thing, why can she speak so confidently. However, he was a little surprised that the other party could mention the past frankly.
"Besides, I have understood one thing over the years..." Nightingale shrugged.
"What's up?"
"Look, you don't know everything, do you?" She faced the soft morning light, and the bangs on her forehead reflected golden light, "But since you asked, I'll tell you with reluctance—that is, everyone has There is no need to blindly imitate others because of their own strengths. Being loyal to yourself is the most important thing. Do you like... only people who know more?"
"..." Roland couldn't speak for a while.
And this answer does not require an answer.
It can be seen from the other party's expression that she is very clear about this.
"That's it. So remember to put more Chaos drinks in the cupboard," Nightingale shook her fingers, turned and walked towards the lower level of the castle, "When everyone returns in triumph, I have to get them to celebrate."
Looking at the other party's back, Roland took a long time to react. This is not Neverwinter, where does he put drinks... Moreover, "be loyal to yourself" in other words, isn't it an excuse for his own enjoyment!
He shook his head in disbelief, and followed.
…
"This is the Seagull, Your Highness, you have entered the warning range of the floating fortress." At 8:35 in the morning, Sylvie issued the first warning by listening to the seal. "In another quarter of an hour at most, the group will fly over the strike line of the stone pillar."
"Received." Tilly smiled coldly, "I saw them."
From the very beginning, she never thought that she could hide the devil all the way. There must be vigilant beholders on the God of Divine Construct. When Sylvie sees them, they can also see Sylvie immediately. If the Seagull The first exposure is not good for the plan. Therefore, it is better to cut in front and draw most of the enemy's attention to the fighter group first.
The moment Sylvie issued an early warning, the enemy had already reacted.
Many black spots rose from the center of the land, flying in groups towards the dawn.
Humph, her vigilance is quite high. Tilly turned on the radio station expressionlessly, and turned the FM knob to all channels, "Attention, the devil has already appeared, all brace up and prepare to fight! 1st, 2nd Team, you all move on as planned!"
"Understood." Good and Manfred responded.
The formation of the Aerial Knights is very simple. Fifty biplanes are divided into two waves. The team carrying out the bombing mission travels through the clouds in order to shorten the time for being detected by the enemy as much as possible. In addition to the Skywrath formation and the five planes protecting the Seagull, the remaining thirty-five Skyfire will undertake the task of dispersing the Devil's defense force.
The main fighter group quickly approached within ten kilometers of the fortress. At this distance, the scaly black rocks and the central city of the floating land can be directly observed with the naked eye. And at this moment the stone pillars surrounding the fortress have not yet risen, as if they did not exist.
Sure enough, that thing is not used to deal with the Aerial Knight.
"This is the Phoenix. Did you find the Demon Lord who attacked the ground troops last time?" Tilly asked.
"..." Sylvie searched for a moment, "I haven't found it yet."
It appears that luck is on the side of humans. Tilly looked back at the slowly rising sun behind her, and the dazzling light just covered the direction of the Aerial Knight's attack.
"The weather is good, it's a good day for a long sleep."
She slammed the throttle, pulled up the plane with the high-pitched roar of the engine, and swooped at the enemy first—
…
"His Royal Highness Tilly has come into contact with the enemy." Sylvie reported with a solemn expression. Judging from the current situation, the Aerial Knights are obviously at a disadvantage in numbers. After all, this time they are actively attacking the devil's lair, and the mobilization of the fearful beast is much faster than before. "The enemy is still increasing, and if this goes on...they will be surrounded."
Wendy seemed to see her worry, "Don't worry, although there are more demons, the Aerial Knights don't have to shoot them all down, they just need to delay for ten minutes. In terms of speed, those beasts can't compete with each other at all. Compared to Skyfire, it's better for you to focus on the main goal."
That's right... The earlier the bombing is completed, the earlier you can turn and evacuate, worrying that the two ends will only make you care about one thing and the other. Sylvie bit her lip and cast her consciousness towards the center of the continent.
Passing through the layers of red fog, a magnificent obelisk suddenly appeared in her field of vision.
Even if you look at it from a high altitude in the distance, you can feel its hugeness—the height of several hundred meters makes it like a pillar of optimism standing in a deep pit. Any human building will appear dejected in front of such a creation. eclipsed.
