On the other side, in the central tent of the garrison in the north, everyone was busy with the upcoming blocking battle.
"Hand over the entire frontal battlefield to the witch?" After listening to Edith's arrangement, "Eagle Face" showed a surprised look, "It's not that I don't believe in their abilities, but there are at least 10,000 people in each department of the Morning Sun, wearing gods. There are not a few people with the Stone of Retribution, and facing the enemy head-on is likely to cause the witches to fall into a hard fight. Even if we want to save them by then, I’m afraid it will be beyond our reach.”
"I thought so too at first," Edith smiled. "Actually, this plan did not come from the staff, but from His Majesty's thoughts."
"Are there any official records?" the deputy battalion commander asked.
"Here," Pearl of the North handed him a secret letter marked with a red seal, "by the way, the end of the letter grants me the powers of acting commander."
According to the rules of the First Army, the pre-strategic strategy of any military operation must be recorded on paper, and be reviewed and signed by the staff of the corresponding level. If the signer is His Majesty Roland, it means that any army must execute it unconditionally.
After confirming that the eagle face was correct, he immediately stood up and gave a military salute, "The garrison in the north guarantees the completion of the mission!"
"Very good," Edith raised the corner of her mouth, "but remember one thing, your purpose is to deal a devastating blow to the fleeing enemy, and the focus is on the word "rout". If the preconditions do not exist, it will be regarded as a failure of the battle, and all the ambush personnel will return to the cloud ladder according to the original road, and the order not to meet the enemy without authorization must be explained to everyone clearly. "
"You mean... retreat?" Eagle Face was surprised, "Don't your Majesty know if his method will work?"
"Who knows what I haven't tried?" Beidi Pearl said bluntly, "If this method doesn't work, you can only consider other methods... Your Majesty sent me here just in case. "
"What about the witch?"
"Even if they fail, they are not in any danger."
"Understood, I'm going to prepare now, all classes will be able to set off early tomorrow morning." Ying Mian saluted again.
"This operation is code-named Operation Bomber. When you are in position, the battle will officially start." Edith returned a military salute, "Go ahead."
"Yes!"
Although he didn't know what the bomber meant, Yingmian felt a little more confident in his heart. What can be called a "machine" by His Majesty must be extraordinary, isn't the steam engine an excellent example
*****************
Two days later, in the early morning, Lightning finally waited in the camp for the departure order.
"Maggie has moved all the personnel in place, and you can set off." Sylvie's voice came from the listening talisman in her hand, "The army of the morning sun is gathering at the fortress, I hope you can catch up."
"Don't worry, we'll be there later." After finishing speaking, the little girl waved to Maisie and Hummingbird, "Come here, it's time for us to go!"
In the past two days, she not only checked the map of Yunzhongti from the air, but also looked at the general situation of the surrounding area. His Majesty's plan was not complicated. There were six witches as reinforcements. According to the combat plan, they were divided into two groups. One was responsible for transportation and logistics, and its core capability was Maggie's magic ark. In addition, Sivir and Lily are also equipped. The former ensures that the enemy will find out and open fire first, while the latter is to target the evil epidemic created by the church. If the army of the morning sun invades the old holy city, it is difficult to guarantee that the church will not go all out. Mass release of pathogens in the city.
The other group is the core of the operation.
"Oh!"
"Goo!"
The hummingbird sat in the bracket and held the connecting rods on both sides, so that the magic power flowed on the rods endlessly. In a short while, the iron frame, which His Majesty called "Dongfeng", together with the nine bombs, dropped to about one percent of its original weight, which was also the limit of Maisie's carrying after alienation.
Then the little white-haired girl turned into a giant beast, lying on the top of the bracket, and the fixed cloth belt and rope were connected by lightning, and the Dongfeng and Maisie immediately formed a whole.
Since the ability of hummingbirds cannot work on living creatures, the weight carried by Maisie is basically the same as that of a witch plus a portable bomb rack as heavy as the witch. As long as the weight reduction effect can be maintained, she can stay in the air for a long time. Perform precision strike missions.
This is also the improvement that Roland made based on the post-war report after using the hydrogen balloon bombing tactics to conquer the capital.
Compared with balloons, Maisie's flight speed is much faster, and she is more flexible when performing tasks. If diving bombs are used, the correction process of lightning can also be omitted, allowing the latter to have sufficient energy for reconnaissance and guidance.
Of course, the magic power of the hummingbird cannot support the "Dongfeng" for a whole day's flight. Although the training of the consignment artillery has made her magic power level up a lot, for a large and surprisingly heavy bomb, it is very good to last for half a day. Not bad. After all, the body, seeker and charge of the bomb are usually transported separately.
Fortunately, half a day is enough for the Dawn Army that is close at hand.
"All roads are clear, you can take off, repeat, you can take off!" Lightning pulled down the goggles and jumped into the air.
"Ah... it's here again," Hummingbird covered her forehead and sighed.
"Ouch!"
When Maisie flapped her wide wings, a huge shadow seemed to rise on the ground. The tents of the camp swayed from side to side in the air waves, like a gust of wind passing through. Then she adjusted her direction and flew towards the foot of Mount Hermes.
Half an hour later, the three of them successfully flew to the sky above the old holy city, and easily found the target of this operation. The large army of tens of thousands of people is very eye-catching even from a high altitude. This army looked like an overflowing stream from a distance, and it could barely maintain its formation behind, but when it arrived in the city, it was completely dispersed. Countless colored spots are slowly squirming like ants, bit by bit nibbling away at the site of the old holy city.
Lightning doesn't like the church at all, and they can only be called retribution for the catastrophe. But in addition to the believers, there are many innocent people in the city, especially the orphans that the church has looted from various places, and they are still locked in several monasteries.
They should not be buried here with the old holy city.
The little girl took a deep breath and kept raising her height until she felt that it was a little difficult to breathe, then she opened her arms and started to dive along the center line of the "stream", but in the opposite direction.
The sharp fall made her internal organs seem to be moving backwards. This process should not be very pleasant, but there is a kind of rush of pleasure.
Lightning didn't look back, she knew that Maisie would definitely follow her for many years, and the cooperation between the two was seamless.
The people and things on the ground were rapidly expanding, and some knights obviously noticed the dark shadow falling from the sky, and she could even faintly see the fear on the other side's face.
When one person and one beast flew to the middle of the crowd, Lightning suddenly pulled up and shouted, "It's now, drop the bomb!"
The hummingbird sitting in the cradle flicked the active switch.
