my armed maid

Chapter 169 Chapter 166: Switching to Annihilation Mode

Under clear skies, the Crow's Nest cruised at an altitude of 700 meters, crossing the Lebus Plain and the Linfeng Mountains, flying in the direction of Flamel.

Nolen stood on the bow deck, his black robes rustling in the high-altitude turbulence.

The straight-line distance between Linfeng City and Flamel is actually not very far, but it is blocked by the Linfeng Mountains in the middle. It usually takes three days to reach there.

But it's different if you take a flying vehicle. Once the terrain obstacles are overcome, Linfeng City can "blitz" Flamel in just one day.

Thinking of this, he looked at the vast endless mountains below, and a sense of conquest arose spontaneously.

If you are not bound by natural dangers, as long as you master the sky, you can conquer this world.

This battle to support Flamel will become a touchstone for this air force, and will also be the first step for Linfeng City to officially enter the imperial stage.

"You seem very confident."

At some point, Rosalia came to him and asked, "Are you sure of defeating Broken Star City?"

It is ruled by the "Fengyu Clan", a minority group. Due to the influence of their special bloodline, the Fengyu Clan is rich in mages, and most of the awakened mages are of the wind, thunder and soul types.

"Aren't you going to the bridge?" Rosalia was stunned for a moment.

"I still have something to do." Nolen waved his hand, leaving her with a cool back, and turned around to go to the maintenance room.

These three forces are the most powerful and famous representatives of the Roland Empire's air force.

As early as when he was in Flamel, he had dealt with the envoys from Broken Star City.

Linfeng City has also dispatched its air force, which means that after the battle begins, Nolen's sky regiment will sooner or later collide with the Fengshen troops in Broken Star City.

As time passed, by the afternoon, the Crow's Nest had crossed the vast Linfeng Mountains.

As the leader of the Sky Corps and the captain of the Crow's Nest, he certainly doesn't have to take the lead.

Broken Star City... Nolen recalled what happened before.

The maintenance room of the Crow's Nest is very large, where the equipment and weapons of everyone in the Sky Regiment are stored.

"Have you already dealt with him?" Rosalia's eyes were filled with brilliance.

"I have to prepare for the battle, so I'll excuse you for now. For the sake of safety, please go to the bridge to watch the battle."

If we can really win, nothing can better prove the strength of the Sky Team than this.

Others are different. No one in the sky group is a soul mage, and their spiritual power is not particularly powerful.

Using spiritual resonance to control the jetpack during combat, and using soul links to communicate with thoughts is already their limit.

After Roderick decided to officially start the war, as a neighboring city to Flamel, Broken Star City acted as the main force of the rebellion and was the first to send troops to surround it.

In this battle, there is no doubt that Broken Star City has invested "Wind God Troops". This was also mentioned in the report submitted to the Imperial Capital from the front line.

She was still wearing the long dress of the maid uniform, with white headbands on her head, black knee-high socks and Mary Jane shoes, and she was holding a brown suitcase in her right hand.

If the drone is further controlled for reconnaissance, no one's mental strength can bear it - he has done this experiment before.

However, the maintenance room seemed a bit empty at this time, and the members of the Sky Group were fully armed before setting off.

The strength of Broken Star City is among the best in the entire empire.

The ninth-level powerhouse "Wind War God" who once fought with Roland I in the world is his representative figure.

In other words, only he can remotely control drones for reconnaissance.

However, there is one ability of his that cannot be replaced by other team members, and that is the drone component of the remote-controlled Eye of Odin backpack.

If they want to support Flamel, Linfeng City will inevitably run into Broken Star City again. It can be said that they are enemies on a narrow road.

Therefore, Broken Star City formed a "Wind God Force", which is a special air force composed mainly of wind mages.

Among them, wind mages have the largest number and are the most famous.

Nolen said lightly, "It's just that I have dealt with their envoys. In my opinion, their strength is nothing more than this."

Broken Star City is a staunch Roderick faction. In order to help it gain an advantage, it will not hesitate to assassinate Flamel, who has been friends with him for many years.

At this time, standing on the bow of the Crow's Nest, one can see the shadow of the towering Flamel Tower at the end of the horizon.

She thought Nolen's battle preparation meant going to the bridge to give orders.

In fact, the "Gryphon Knights" of the Imperial Capital, the "Dragon Knights" of Dragon Valley, and the "Wind God Troops" of Broken Star City——

The remote control distance of the drone is directly affected by the mental strength of the remote control person. With the blessing of the Book of Omniscient Knowledge, the remote control distance of the drone is almost unlimited.

At present, in the maintenance room, except for a few Sky Regiment reservists responsible for logistics, he was the only one left, and Yuna, who was silently following him.

Don't worry, you may get the answer today.

"We have entered the territory of Flamel." Nolen put down the telescope in his hand.

And just listening to Nolen's tone, it seems that they have already had a fight, and does Linfeng City have the advantage?
Rosalia did not ask further questions and kept this guess in her heart.

It can be said that this is a head-on showdown between the new era air force and the empire's old air force.

Therefore, in the end, he had to take action personally to investigate this matter.

"I heard that Broken Star City is the hometown of the "War God of Wind". "

It is not possible to equip team members with drone components so that they can use them well, because drones use soul spells.

If it weren't for the white raven mask and Sun Knight sword hanging around her waist, showing her unique identity, anyone would think she was just an ordinary maid accompanying her master on an outing.

"Should I also prepare for attack?"

Seeing Nolen take off his robe and let the logistics put him into the Eye of Odin equipment, Yuna showed an expression of eagerness to try.

"Don't worry, wait for me to get a better view." Nolen smiled slightly and put on the black raven mask.

The Eye of Odin equipment was activated, and the drone mounted behind him detached from the backpack.

It flew out of the Crow's Nest and fell toward the ground covertly and quickly.

……

Neil City is a small city in the south of the empire. Its strength is in the same echelon as Alto City. The extraordinary person who controls the city is an eighth-level knight.

Because it was close to the city of Simmel where Roderick was located, the city lord of Neil quickly agreed to join the rebel camp under the lobbying of the envoy——

Of course, whether it was forced or voluntary... I don't know.

In short, since the beginning of the civil war, under Roderick's order, Neil City, like Alto City, sent its own troops to participate in the siege of Flamel.

However, maybe Roderick also knew that Neil City’s strength was too much for him.

Neil City's army only needs to be stationed in the outer area near the Linfeng Mountains to complete the last piece of the jigsaw puzzle for Flamel's encirclement network.

This place is not close to the front line of the battle with Flamel, and there are no hostile forces emerging from the Linfeng Mountains. It can be said to be the most peaceful battlefield.

Therefore, after besieging Flamel for several days, seeing the calm here, the discipline of the army quietly relaxed.

Except for the necessary sentry duty, the remaining soldiers were playing cards and chatting to kill time, waiting for the cooking squad to deliver the day's dinner. "Ah-ha~"

On the sentry tower, a sentry from Neil City yawned and looked drowsy.

"It's so boring." Another sentry also complained, "How long will this battle last? We don't know when we can go back.

"Isn't Broken Star City very strong? We have been surrounding Flamel for more than ten days, why haven't we captured it yet?"

"Don't underestimate Flamel. After all, it is an ancient city with thousands of years of history." The colleague pointed.

"Did you see the Flamel Tower? This tower is equipped with the most powerful eighth-level alchemy array in the empire. Many waves of offensives on the front line have been repelled by this tower.

"In addition, there are reinforcements on the other side trying to break through our encirclement. It is said that the casualties there are quite tragic.

"It's just that our side is close to the Linfeng Mountains, and no enemy will provide support from here. We can be content with being lazy."

"Too……"

The sentry felt sad, looked up at the sky, and was suddenly startled.

It was almost evening, the sun was moving westward and slowly setting in the Linfeng Mountains.

But in the direction of the setting sun, there was a dark shadow flying towards them with backlight.

"What is this... a flying monster?"

The sentry rubbed his eyes, with a hint of uncertainty in his tone.

But if it were a flying monster, it would be too big...

The visual estimate is that the height is upwards of 500 meters, but the shadow still looks conspicuous, and the size is at least 70 or 80 meters long.

Small monsters are not necessarily weak, but large monsters are basically very strong - this is common knowledge in this continent.

Therefore, the sentry quickly made a reasonable guess that this black shadow was at least a powerful monster of level seven or above!

"It turned out to be a monster. I thought it was an enemy force."

The colleague looked up and relaxed, "What a fuss, there are large monsters in Linfeng Mountains, isn't this a matter of course?
"Just ignore it. High-level monsters have the dignity of high-level monsters. As long as we don't disturb it, it won't cause trouble for us."

Having said that, the other sentry frowned and looked at the sky, still feeling that something was wrong.

If this black shadow is really a Warcraft, its flying posture is a bit too stiff, and it lacks the agility that a living thing should have.

Just like that, flying in the direction of Flamel in a straight line and at a constant speed, it was like...

Like some kind of huge flying machine!
But where did the empire get such a huge flying machine?
Just as the sentry was stunned, the black shadow flying at a constant speed in the sky slowly stopped.

"It has been confirmed that the flags in the camp are from the Neil City troops belonging to the rebels."

Through the picture transmitted by the drone, Nolen issued orders to the Sky Group through the soul link.

"The Crow's Nest entered combat mode, and the starboard ship-borne guns switched to annihilation mode to cover the target with firepower."

"Yes! The Crow's Nest has entered combat mode."

On the bridge, Julius adjusted the Crow's Nest to an angle suitable for starboard firing, and began to slowly descend in altitude.

Liz has led his team to stand by in the gun area and repeated the order:
"Yes! The starboard ship-based gun switches to annihilation mode and covers the target with firepower."

The so-called switching mode means changing the bullet types and magic circles of "Crow Feather" and "Blitz".

In sniper mode, "Crowfeather" and "Blitz" will be loaded with fin-stabilized discarding sabots and "destruction beams" to carry out precise strikes on targets.

If the annihilation mode is switched, "Crow Feather" will be loaded with fragmentation bullets, and "Blitz" will switch to the "Sky Burning Flame" array to cause area-wide damage to the designated area.

At this time, as the Crow's Nest began to descend, many people in the Niel City troop camp began to notice something strange in the air.

"Is this really a monster?"

Some people questioned, "Why does the cyan light circle that lights up below look like a magic circle?"

"Ha, are you kidding me?"

Some people were dissatisfied, "Do you think this is an alchemy machine? Not to mention Flamel, there is no such a huge flying machine in the entire empire!"

"No matter what it is, it still makes people feel hairy. Wouldn't it be better to report it to the group leader?"

"Could this be the enemy's latest weapon?"

"..."

The people below were talking a lot, and at this moment, the Crow's Nest dropped to a height of 500 meters.

This is already within the effective range of "Sky Burning Flame".

"fire."

Locking on the camp below, Leeds gave silent instructions to his teammates through thought transmission.

The team members held their breath and focused, pointed the sights in the ship's gun sight at the enemy camp below, and decisively pulled the trigger.

There is no need to hesitate, everything is no different from daily training target practice——

"boom--"

The next moment, the sound of artillery fire and the light of flames came from the sky.

Three fragmentation bombs drew white lines in the sky and hit the three largest and most conspicuous buildings in the Neil City camp first.

According to the reconnaissance information provided by the Nolen drone, these three locations are the headquarters, armory and warehouse in the camp.

"boom--"

The fragmentation bomb accurately hit the target, and the alchemical explosives in the bomb brought sharp fragments and knocked down the roof.

Then, like the breath of a giant dragon, three tongues of orange-yellow fire fell from the sky.

"Wow--"

The tongues of fire spread immediately after touching the ground, and in an instant, most of the Neil City troops' camp was involved.

The bone-corrosive flames ignited all the soldiers. They screamed and rolled, and the camp that was leisurely and comfortable one second turned into a hell on earth the next second.

And because they were hiding on the sentry tower that was a little high from the ground, the sentries were lucky enough not to be affected by the sky-burning flames.

They were frightened by the sight before them, and while banging the gongs and drums on the sentry tower, they shouted:

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

Now they knew that the black shadow in the sky was not a monster, but it was already too late.

No, perhaps the outcome has already been determined. Even if they were warned in time, they would not be able to prevent the enemy from attacking them.

This is a dimensionality reduction attack launched by the sky on the ground.

And they were unable to resist and had nowhere to escape.
