Necromancer: Becoming a God from a Lord

The continuous bombardment for half an hour made the Northern Army, which was deployed outside the city and ready to attack the city at any time, very angry.

"How long will these artillerymen bombard?" Dave couldn't help stamping his feet and cursing in a low voice while Commander Pierce walked away, "They have blown the city walls into sieves, are you still not satisfied?"

Even the always steady Vaughn couldn't help frowning and said, "If the bombardment continues, I'm afraid the entire section of the city wall will collapse directly. Do we still have to climb the collapsed ruins to enter the city?"

Wayne glanced around and whispered to his two close comrades: "Before the battle, I heard the order from the city lord and the commander to launch a [deterrence offensive] first... I guess this is why those guys in the artillery battalion wasted shells so recklessly."

Dav glared and said, "What kind of deterrence is just bombarding the city wall? At most, the explosion will kill a few hundred city defenders."

The ironclad ships fired solid shells, which had a significant damage effect on fixed defense facilities such as city walls and gates, but were far less lethal to the enemy than shrapnel shells.

But Harvey's goal was not to kill a large number of soldiers guarding the city walls remotely at the beginning of the war... His goal was only to destroy the defense forces deployed on the city walls and open up a safe navigation channel for the subsequent real [deterrent offensive].

The three floating airships took off from Fengyuan City three days later than the fleet, but they arrived in the capital almost at the same time as them. This was also Harvey's attempt to put the flying vehicles into actual combat observation.

For a time, almost everyone, whether on the enemy or on our side, witnessed the behemoth slowly emerging from the thick clouds - three of them were equipped with eight sets of split airbags, and the pods were equipped with magic machine guns that could flexibly rotate and shoot, as well as mounting devices that could launch magic explosion bombs at any time.

This is the latest upgraded version of the floating airship developed by Spark City - Combat Airship Type 1.

In Harvey's imagination, the unimpeded floating airship should be the absolute trump card in large-scale wars of this era. Even if it is blocked by the enemy's high-level priests or spellcasters with flying ability, the machine guns installed in the pod and several snipers with accurate bullets can also use weapons to fight back against the enemy. The magic gun has no interval between casting spells... Soldiers do not need to consume a lot of magic power and divine power to maintain the spell-casting flight like spellcasters and priests.

Having air superiority... is equivalent to having the key to victory.

The ironclad ships at the dock and the Northern Army outside the city burst into fierce cheers at the same time. Everyone knows the magic of the floating airship. The king's capital has no ability to stop the attack from the sky. The balance of victory in the war has completely tilted towards them.

...

After a while, the airship slowly passed over the towering city wall, drifted through the outer city full of low and dilapidated buildings, and arrived directly above the royal court. However, they did not underestimate the enemy and always maintained a high altitude. The entire huge Jinhui City King's Capital was in full view. The illustrious royal court built high in the inner city in the past was only the size of a palm.

Tommy stood in the cabin of an airship, took out the crystal windproof goggles from his arms and buckled them in front of his eyes, took out the long-range sniper rifle hanging on his back, and aimed at the three figures flying out of the royal court below with a grin.

That was a court magician of noble origin...

With the blessing of the high-level bloodline "weakness insight", the large-caliber magic bullet shot out instantly pierced through the defense shield of a high-level court magician, tearing off a fist-sized piece of flesh and blood on his waist. The high-level magician didn't even have time to groan before falling straight from the sky.

Another spellcaster hurriedly turned back to try to rescue him, but was immediately attacked by the same long-range attack - fortunately, he seemed to be wearing some powerful defensive magic weapon, and several layers of crystal-like transparent shields lit up around his body instantly, barely blocking the attack from the floating airship.

But the opponent seemed to have no time to cast spells. After a missed attack, he paused for less than a few seconds, and then attacked again with the same attack. What shocked the court mage was that the opponent was so far away, but the two attacks almost hit the same position of the shield, with exact accuracy.

With a click, the armband on the mage's arm shattered in an instant. While the magic weapon was broken, it finally blocked the second attack, but the strange attack also injured the court mage's magic veins, causing his magic flow to stagnate for a short time, and he almost fell to the ground.

The last spellcaster who escaped the attack quickly grabbed his companion, looked up at the airship in the distance with a panic, and looked at his fellow mage who was smashed into a bloody mess on the ground.

"The other side has such a strange and powerful long-range attack method... We don't need to fight them desperately. Don't forget that we are spellcasters like them!"

The injured mage colleague naturally saw the huge emblems of the Union and the Lord of the North painted on the airship, gritted his teeth and nodded, saying: "Yes, spellcasters don't have to fight to the death unless they fight for the path of truth. Besides, I don't want to work for the damn church. Let's go!"

After that, the two flew out of the city in the opposite direction without hesitation.

Tomi smiled and put away the sniper rifle in his hand, raised his hand to stop his sharpshooter soldier from shooting from behind, and sneered: "They know how to judge the situation and didn't rush up to fight us rashly. Otherwise, we won't have the upper hand in close combat."

However, this brief exchange of fire made Tommy sigh with emotion... It turns out that not every spellcaster is as wise and compassionate as his lord, nor is he as dignified as Duncan, the Eye of Illusion and the Astrologer, who treats people equally and has the courage to explore the unknown... They are even worse than those gloomy necromancers in the Academy of Sciences. When they fight side by side with ordinary soldiers of mortal origin, they are unreserved in their efforts.

The three airships continued to float in the sky and waited for a while. They were shocked to find that in such a large city of Jinhui, the only noble spellcasters who dared to stand up and confront them head-on and guard the royal city were the three who had just died and one injured. They couldn't help but laugh.

No mistake, one post, one content, one book, one bar!

Tommy immediately took out the magic brain instrument to report the situation to Harvey. After receiving the reply instructions, he turned around and gestured to the responsible soldier.

The latter nodded in understanding, and the airship immediately lowered its altitude. The bombardier skillfully stuffed the magic bomb into the bomb port, and then immediately pulled the trigger.

A huge bomb broke away from the bracket at the bottom of the pod with a click, and fell rapidly to the ground.

The first task they had to complete on this trip was an important part of the [Deterrence Offensive] -

Bombing the King's Court of Jinhui City!
