Chapter 1039 The battle at an altitude of one thousand kilometers, the bloody Martian sky between the Red Federation and the Empire

"Pailin—!"

He Dong roared like a lion in the channel: "Is it dead!? Didn't die!"

The man responded in a helpless tone that was so numb because he was so used to it: "I landed safely, I am gathering the crew, and I will take care of the landing site by the way. This seems to be a stronghold of slave traders. I am going to clean it up."

The woman was obviously relieved, but her tone became colder: "Who are you talking to? Have you even forgotten the basic rules of the conversation?"

The man hurriedly repeated: "Report to the command, the crew of the 10389 ship landed safely!"

The woman still spoke in a business-like tone: "The rescue team will arrive within an hour. If there is any unexpected situation, it will be resolved as soon as possible. Don't affect the business!"

The man answered yes loudly, and then asked timidly, "Well... how is the battle going up there?"

There was a loud noise, and it took a while for the woman to respond: "Comrade Bailin, focus on your mission!"

In the depths of the night sky, at an altitude of thousands of kilometers, a number of frenzied storms with diameters ranging from a few kilometers to tens of kilometers are scattered sporadically, occupying an airspace of tens of thousands of square kilometers with a thickness of hundreds of kilometers, tearing apart the space here. messy.

This is a restricted zone composed of gaps in the planes, turbulent flow of magic power, and the "pressure relief mouth" of the main plane barrier. Whether it is observed according to the "magic cloud" in the magic particle theory, or the source magic field observation in the micro-magic theory , this place is extremely frenzied and extremely terrifying.The strength, attributes, shape, and movement of the magic power are all changing rapidly. Even if it is a legendary Void Spirit, if there is no safety valve, the result of high-precision balance calculations will explode.

It is on the edge or even in the cracks of such restricted areas that mortal wars still break out.

The long-range detection technology of both sides fails here, and it is impossible to carry out accurate attacks from a safe distance, which leads both sides to regard the restricted area as a natural hidden place.As long as the troops are gathered near the restricted area, the large-scale attack will be greatly concealed and sudden.

The restricted area has thus become a strategic location. Whoever gains control of the restricted area will gain a bargaining chip on the war map, and at the same time, the enemy will lose a bargaining chip.

Whether it is an imperial battleship equipped with an elemental furnace or a Red Alliance battleship equipped with a node furnace, here we are fighting against the natural environment and the enemy at the same time.

Because the magic field changes too drastically, the small magic furnaces of the plane and the flying boat cannot be adjusted, and the two sides can only rely on the floating ship to fight.Even the airships are unable to fight in large groups due to the harsh environment, and can only be dispersed into small formations of up to a dozen ships.

For the same reason, missiles and torpedoes are not easy to use. Even the shells fired by Thor's Hammer have a chaotic trajectory.The two sides can only conduct artillery battles at a speed of less than [-] kilometers per hour, approaching each other to a distance of four to five kilometers.

"This damn restricted area!"

In the command bridge of the 10396 ship of the Red Federation Navy, the commander of the unit, Lieutenant Colonel Hana got up from the floor and said cursingly: "When I was training at the Naval Academy, I didn't learn how to fight. This kind of thing will only happen. Battle at sea! We're the navy, you bastards!"

"There seems to be something wrong... Forget it, the battle is important..."

She patted the helmet to confirm that the communication system was fine, and asked the captain next to her, "Can you still fight?"

She is the commander of the unit, and she doesn't need to care about the specific damage situation like the captain, only whether the battleship can complete the task.

The captain said in an affirmative tone: "Annie is fine, and she can last for a while. The elemental cannons of the Imperial Airship are indeed powerful, but their accuracy is much worse than ours."

Hana then asked on the formation command channel: "How is the situation of ships 271 and 274?"

This is a formation of horned whales. All three horned whales have been refitted. The original round hull like a submarine is replaced by a sharp-edged configuration. do.The displacement has also increased from the original six to seven hundred tons to nearly a thousand tons, but in this terrifying restricted area, it is still as small and fragile as a sampan struggling in raging waves.

The other two horn whales reported that there was no serious problem. Even if there were support ships below that specially strengthened the red net, in such a manic turbulent flow of magic power, the ships could only maintain voice communication.As the team commander, she couldn't see the status of every warship or even every soldier in the team at a glance.

"very good……"

Hana forgot the situation of the sunken ship 389 and her husband Pailin, looked through the porthole of the bridge, crossed the chaotic area intertwined with the wreckage of several imperial warships, and firmly locked on the ship that was slowly crossing the obstacle, heading towards The imperial warship detachment that circled around on one side of the formation.

Compared with most men's calmness and tenacity, as well as the experience of leading an adventurer team when she was young, of course, the most important thing is her vigorous style of work and firm and decisive decision-making. All these make Hana's military journey much smoother than her husband.

Although her husband Bailin is also an excellent soldier, he often goes out of his mind and makes some mistakes that go against basic common sense, making him still at the rank of major captain, while she is already a member of the "frigate squadron" composed of horned whales The unit commanded.

The current situation where the husband and wife are in the same team is not intentional by the superiors. The teams are all formed temporarily, and this situation is inevitable.In the current fierce battle situation, neither the superior nor the parties concerned have the time to consider this issue.

Hana's clear and quiet voice sounded from the three warships at the same time: "We lost 389 ships, it doesn't matter, the enemy also paid the price of four Baron-class ships, now we are three against six, according to the exchange ratio, our The advantage is still great!"

"Everyone, don't expect me to have any unexpected tactics. On this battlefield where the environment is more terrifying than the enemy, the competition is all about will and technology!"

"Everyone spread out the firepower as much as possible, and continue to fight bravely according to the combat instincts you have trained and previous experience!"

"Victory belongs to the Red Federation!"

The crew chanted slogans such as "Crimson radiance shines on the empty sea", maneuvering the warship against the frantic storm, trying to adjust its course, attitude and speed, turning the turret, and pointing the muzzle at the Empire just past the wreckage, exposing the slender bow. battleship.

It was a Viscount-class airship, the flagship of the enemy formation.It was completely different from the ships of the same class in the Traveler's Battle of the Wilderness three or four years ago. It was a big ship with a length of nearly 200 meters and a total weight of more than [-] tons.

Relatively the technology tree climbed too fast so that the technical reserve line was stretched too long, and the high-level and corresponding technical leaders had obsessive-compulsive disorder and perfectionism. Strategic planning appears to be more forward-looking.

The Dawn Empire has summed up the experience and lessons after the Battle of the Traveler, and the newly designed floating ships of all levels are larger in size.Even the Baron class has a mass close to [-] tons.After the magic particle technology matures, replacing the battleship with a more advanced elemental furnace and a more powerful magic cannon will be enough to adapt to the war of the new era. The huge number also allows the fleet to quickly form combat effectiveness.

The Chilian pays more attention to one step in place. They would rather refit the old model narwhals to produce big narwhals than hastily mass-produce less than ideal warships. At the beginning of the war, they did not have a clear advantage.However, compared with a single ship, especially in this "restricted area battle" situation, the shortcomings of the imperial warships are also obvious.

For example, there is a lack of high-level magical materials such as magic steel, so they can only use enchanted copper, ordinary steel, and even wooden boards on a large scale, resulting in fragile protection.At the same time, magic weapons based on reconstruction spells are not powerful enough, while magic cannons using elemental shells are powerful, but the hit rate is extremely low under environmental interference.

The pile of wreckage is a clear example. The Red Alliance's naval guns have all been converted into Thor's Hammers. Although they are still affected by the magical turbulence of the restricted area, the shells based on the basic law are extremely fast, and the impact is much smaller.

The main guns of the imperial warships use the catapult spell, and firing from five kilometers away can miss the target by 500 meters.Therefore, the tactics of the imperial warships are closer to those of the Red Federation warships, and it is best to stick to the face and fire.In addition, medium and long distances can only rely more on various types of ray cannons and forbidden curse cannons with improved distance and damage range.

The battle of four versus ten based on the number of warships, and the combined number of Chilian battleships in terms of tonnage is not as large as the opponent's flagship has lasted for nearly three hours.As the vanguard ship, the 10389 ship was unlucky. It was fired by the opponent's main gun, suffered several large-equivalent elemental shells, and left the battlefield with a seriously injured body.It's a pity that during the maneuver, it was affected by the magic storm erupting from the restricted area, lost power, and sank to the ground.

Thousands of kilometers of high-altitude gravity is smaller than that of the ground (although this is a fantasy world, gravity settings are more scientific than various sci-fi worlds that do not consider gravity at all), relatively speaking, storms in restricted areas have stronger traction.The wreckage of the blown warships collided with each other, and being pulled by the storm, they would float in the battlefield, cutting the battlefield even more messy, and most of the fighting time was spent on maneuvering.

Pieces of sparks burst out from the turrets of the Red Alliance battleships. Because there is no air, the scene of pulling orange flames in the atmosphere does not exist. It is just the tiny particles peeled off the surface of the shells that burst out sparks (remember this is a very scientific Fantasy World).A round of shells trailed only faint ripples, and fired at the enemy ship at a speed that could not be tracked by the naked eye.

There were patches of turbulence in the wreckage, missed shells.It is not a problem with Thor's Hammer that it is still flying a few kilometers away, but it is caused by the turbulent flow of magic power in the restricted area.

But just like queuing up to shoot, the more firepower you concentrate, the higher your hit rate will be.

Several shells hit the target, and the bow of the imperial battleship sank, and a dazzling light cluster was lit up. It should be that the elemental shells that opened the insurance were triggered.

This is the trouble with elemental shells and bombs. The principle of their explosion is the annihilation reaction caused by the extrusion of two types of purified elemental nuclei.As long as you open the insurance that isolates the nucleus crystal, once the shell is violently hit, it will explode.

After the light dimmed, the bow of the enemy ship could be seen disappearing, and the entire battleship was raised high due to the force of the explosion. Seen from the ground as the reference plane, it seemed to be performing a cobra maneuver.

The severe damage to the flagship did not weaken the morale of the imperial formation. Another Viscount-class battleship rushed out and directly hit the stern of the ship, pushing away the flagship that was hindering navigation.The Baron-class battleships at the back stretched downwards and outwards, scrambling to accelerate, passing the flagship and the front battleships, and firing at the Red Federation battleships.

Dense rays hit like rain, and occasionally there were power fluctuations that seemed to drive the heart to speed up and passed over the battleship. It was the most lethal elemental main gun.

The Forbidden Curse of Flame was mixed in, extending out a radius of hundreds of meters like a scarlet light umbrella.If it is on the ground, such a curse is enough to destroy a city, but in the sky where there is no air, as long as it is not directly hit, it can blind people's eyes.

The artillery fire was quite heavy, and the morale of the enemy troops was high.The officers and soldiers of the Red Federation were convinced that the mortals in the battleships opposite were just like them, shouting slogans, determined to fight to the end, and never took a step back.

"Concentrated fire!"

"Hit the closest target!"

"Keep moving, don't disperse!"

At this time, Hana can only play the role of a name-calling officer and a morale officer...

The ray cannon burned the lattice armor of the Red Alliance battleship, the curse cannon shook the perception, and the elemental cannon tore and even melted the lattice armor and the magic steel plate.

The magic steel cannonball penetrated the enchanted armor plate, and the fragments shattered the human body, churning the space, and the detonated elemental cannonball split the hull in two.

In the frenzied storm, human flesh, steel, and demons merge together with the blazing flames emanating from the soul, colliding violently with each other, bursting out with brilliant light, illuminating the dark blue and purple-black sky.

That is exactly the bright starry sky that people see on the land of the main plane.
