That was the goal of this mission, Sylvie realized. x.
The scene in the center of the land is almost the same as the information provided by His Majesty Roland. The devil's city is built around the obelisk, but the monument and the city are separated by a deep pit like a moat. Countless low-level devils cling to it, like worms parasitic on the surface of the tree trunk, but if you look closely, you will find that they are constantly digging into the rock wall, further expanding the deep pit.
The red fog was deposited here, forming a red lake, and the towers close to the pit wall would obviously fall into the lake one by one and become part of the giant pit.
It is rumored that the obelisk was not so huge from the beginning. It broke out of the ground like a living thing and continued to grow, and the mine that accommodated the red mist would continue to expand. Therefore, from these two points, the age of a devil city can be judged. .
The city in front of you is undoubtedly surprisingly old.
Compared with the target, the figure of the biplane can only be described as trivial, let alone the bombs it carries, even if the whole thing is plunged into it, it is hard to imagine that the fog lake can be ignited.
Suddenly, Sylvie let out a soft "Huh".
"What's wrong?" the attentive Wendy asked immediately.
"Found a strange... devil."
A devil that appeared at the top of the obelisk caught her attention. According to the devil's habit of worshipping the sky, the one who can climb to the top of the tower must not be an ordinary person. From the appearance of the other party, it is obviously not an ordinary devil. It was wearing a large cloak enough to cover three or four people, and it was covered with dense decorations. When you got closer, you could find everything from bone knives to metal armor pieces, and she even saw a few screws.
The enemy's head is also very special, it looks like a pillar, and there are many masks hanging on it, which makes people feel inexplicable.
"Does its magic power fluctuate strongly?"
"No... It's not strong." This is also what puzzles Sylvie the most. From the appearance, it is at least a high-level devil, but after showing up, it neither jumps up nor accumulates magic power to activate the ability. The only thing he did was to gather the gods to stare at the direction of the battle of the Aerial Knights, and he had no intention of participating in the war at all.
Since it didn't pose a threat to everyone, Sylvie didn't pay too much attention. Now the two Skyfury squads on the bombing mission were approaching the edge of the city, and she had to concentrate to accurately determine the appropriate bomb location.
Two minutes later, she gave the bombing order over the radio.
"A group of squads, can drop bombs."
"Goode understands."
Even on a sunny day, the clouds floating on the Desperate Mountains would not be too high. In addition to the height of the fortress itself, the Sky Wrath, which was flying all the way, was never noticed by the enemy.
The five biplanes lined up in a column and dropped the 150kg bombs mounted on the belly at a steady speed.
At the moment when the heavy projectile was decoupled, Goode felt that the body was lifted up suddenly, as if the body was a little lighter.
Regrettably, he was unable to witness the results of the operation with his own eyes.
Sylvie saw it very clearly.
The five bombs quickly turned their heads downward due to their center of gravity. With the help of the inertia given to them by the aircraft, they fell towards the center of the city in a fast falling arc. In the last five hundred meters, they were almost completely perpendicular to the ground.
And the devil also noticed these "uninvited guests" from the sky.
Another terrifying beast rose from the city and flew towards the clouds, but their movements paled in comparison to the falling speed of the bomb.
Five black shadows rushed into the city one after another, and the moment the bomb hit the ground, it turned into a scorching fireball. The smoke and gravel it brought up was dozens of meters high, and its momentum far exceeded that of a 152mm grenade! Even if he couldn't hear the sound, Sylvie could feel the earth-shaking shock from the violent explosion wind and the scattered rubble around him.
At the same time, driven by the high heat wave, several distinct "holes" appeared in the red fog, just like the pores formed in the fluffy bread.
Viewed from a high altitude, the slowly spreading gray-black smoke column is particularly striking in the red fog. Perhaps this city has rarely been attacked in the past few hundred years, but it has only been half a In a month, the core area has been visited by humans twice.
However, Sylvie's heart sank to the bottom.
Affected by the wind, although the bombs were scattered widely, they all fell into the city, which was much more accurate than the fortress cannon. It was just that only two hit the fog lake, and neither of them had contact with the "lake surface", so a volley explosion occurred directly.
At the moment when the fireball appeared, she caught a rippling blue light wave that was almost like a barrier on a high-level devil!
"What happened?" Wendy noticed her strange expression.
"Around the obelisk... is protected by a magical barrier," Sylvie murmured in a low voice, "the bomb failed to achieve any effect..."
"Hello," Sha Wei turned her head in disbelief, "You mean, the devil has expanded the barrier to the city level? How is this possible?"
Of course, she knew that this was a bit bizarre. The effect of the ability was often linked to the total amount of magic power. To make it effective in such a large range, even if all the witches were added up, it would not be possible. But the fact was in front of her, and she couldn't help but believe it.
By the way... That high-level devil at the top of the tower!
At the same time as the thought came up, Sylvie saw the other party again, but this sight almost made her hair stand on end, and an indescribable feeling came to her heart.
I saw that the latter stretched out seven or eight thin arms, and took off all the masks on his head, revealing the extremely distorted face below. More than a dozen layers of heads stared into the air, and the face of one of the females, including devils and human beings, and some monsters of which they belonged was particularly dazzling. They showed different smiles one after another, which was extremely weird.
Sylvie couldn't bear it any longer, bent down and made a vomit, and her ability was interrupted.
Seeing this, Wendy directly picked up the communicator, "This is the Seagull. The second group immediately dropped the bomb and turned to return home."
"Understood, did one group's bombing succeed?"
"No... There is a magic barrier around the obelisk, and the bomb failed to enter the pit."
"Barrier?" The other end was silent for a moment. "I see. But I want to try again."
"But there is an accident here, and Sylvie may not be able to give you any instructions for the time being, not to mention the enemy's terrifying beast is already approaching the clouds!"
"Don't worry, one group will cover us."
Wendy had to contact Tilly to report the general situation. The latter didn't care, "It doesn't matter, let the second group try it, we haven't reached the time to retreat."
