This Lich Needs More Money

Chapter 359 The Empire’s Air Force

The Kuroshio's combat performance is perfect, and it is a complete crushing against a group of harpies.

 It’s just that it’s not without loss.

　　The hit rate of the artificial soul's artillery fire is really not very good, only less than 30%.

 This consumes too much shells, so only bone cannonballs that can multiply automatically should be used instead.

Secondly, the jet engine used by the drone is not flexible enough. It should be that the parts were not processed carefully enough during manufacturing, and it was a bit shoddy.

This has to be settled with Gustavo Flynn, the parts are all custom-made from him.

 The current Alchemist Guild can't even control its products, so what's the use of this president?

　　After dealing with these harpies, Amberxiu collected some souls and corpses.

In addition to the mana power furnace, the Kuroshio also has a cabin that provides dark energy. Both corpses and souls can provide dark energy, which is considered a fuel-saving design.

　　After replenishing some fuel, Amberxiu flew towards Emerald Dream Forest again, and this time, he still had to pass through the land of Ryan.

 This time, Amber Xiu’s movement was even greater.

The noise caused by the Kuroshio is similar to thunder and can be heard dozens of kilometers away.

 Hence, this time, after entering the territory of Lane, Amberxiu encountered an interception.

The machine spirit of the Kuroshio reported: "Master, there are an unknown number of Lane Empire airship troops ahead, about 170 kilometers away from us."

“Airship troops? The Lane people are too naive.”

Amber Xiu only found it funny. All the airships on the market were produced in the Alchemy City. The people of Lane probably bought some just to show off their appearance. They certainly never thought that one day they would need to use these slow airships to show off their appearance.

Amberxiu shook his head and said: "An airship with a maximum speed of forty kilometers per hour wants to intercept my Kuroshio. It is overestimating its capabilities."

 “Master, do you need to annihilate them all?”

“No, we need witnesses, leave one or two ships behind.”

 “As you command, Master!”

The Kuroshio accelerated its flight and rushed towards those Lane's airships.

At this moment, a total of forty Lane airships were arrayed in the air, as if to form an encirclement network and block the opponent's way forward.

At first glance, this commander didn't know much about air combat. How could he possibly encircle him in such a big sky?

 But it’s not the fault of these Lane people. Since the founding of the country, there has never been any attempt to fight in the air.

Had it not been for Ambrose flying over Lane last time, the Lane people would not have moved these airships out of the warehouse for modification.

There are a few magic cannons installed, but the accuracy of the test firing is really impressive.

However, there seems to be only one opponent, forty to one. The advantage is mine?

Even if the advantage is not there...at worst, if you jump down, as a light priest, you should not die by parachuting.

The airship commander named Cade Watson thinks so.

This is very inconsistent with the cultural habits of the Lion Empire. If others know that a person who is greedy for life and fear of death is slapped on him, his future will be gone.

But Cade Watson doesn't matter anymore. Ever since his brother Allen rebelled against the country and his father James resigned, Cade Watson has been implicated.

 As the second eldest child in the family, Cade Watson did not openly and firmly cut off from the family like his eldest brother. He has always been the most inconspicuous one in the family, and his will has never been so strong. He originally planned to live an ordinary life, but as a result, such big things happened in the family, Cade Watson was really helpless. He was originally a local tribunal supervisor with a good salary, but now he was transferred to guard the warehouse and was given the position of airship commander.

 But everyone knows that airships are used for fighting. Most of the time they are just used as a guard of honor. This is naked suppression.

 As a result, the empire suffered a defeat shortly after the transfer, and the dragon's flying advantage caused the Lane people to suffer a big loss.

 Their legendary strongman cannot fly and can only be beaten passively. If you fly to the sky to fight with the dragon, you will be a living target.

 The air force must be established, but no one has experience, so they can only use a little bit of everything. It just so happens that airships can fly, don't they need to be modified?

The magic cannon has been installed, but what is the actual combat effect?

 “Attention all, the enemy will fire as soon as he enters the shooting range.”

The tactic of this air force is saturation attack. After all, mobility is equivalent to zero, and its accuracy is quite impressive. There is no other way except this method.

The Kuroshio is approaching rapidly, much faster than Cade Watson expected.

However, as unexpected as it was, Cade Watson immediately ordered: "Fire!"

　　Magic cannons fired a volley, and dozens of shells flew towards the Kuroshio, but most of them didn't know where they hit.

 When you fire a cannon in the air, the recoil will make the airship shake. It only matters if you can shoot it out. Whether it hits or not depends entirely on God's will.

Facing these attacks, the Kuroshio climbed straight up, and all the shells were fired.

Then Kuroshio's artillery fire came back immediately, and Kuroshio's gunnery accuracy was much higher.

 After one salvo, more than half of the Lane airships were hit, and large pieces of white bone coral grew out, wrapping the airships.

 The airbags used to provide buoyancy were exploded, and these airships quickly fell downwards.

 The Lane people on the boat could only abandon the ship in a hurry and choose to skydive from high altitude.

Cade Watson did not expect that he would lose so quickly. He could only sigh and said to his men: "Abandon ship, we can't win."

Cade Watson was about to run away, when suddenly a sword edge stabbed towards him.

Cade Watson used the hammer in his hand to block and avoid the sword's edge. After taking a closer look, he found that the person who took action was a young paladin. On the surface, this young man is Cade Watson's bodyguard, but he is actually sent by others to monitor Cade Watson's informant to prevent him from treason like Allen.

The boy who looked childish said angrily to Cade Watson: "You traitor, you are about to surrender before you fight to the death. Are you worthy of the gods we believe in?"

Cade Watson shrugged and said: "The Lord of the Dawn never taught me to die. I am not a paladin, so I don't need to abide by any oath. Besides, the power of the priest comes from the generosity of the gods..." Cade Watson's His body shone with a holy light.

"You see, the Lord of the Morning thinks I'm doing the right thing, and this light is proof."

Priests are the most devout believers of the gods. Their ability to perform magical spells depends entirely on the permission of the gods. Cade Watson's explanation is really impeccable.

The young paladin was trembling with anger at Cade Watson's words, and roared: "You are not allowed to insult the Lord of the Morning!"

The traitor was about to be killed with one Holy Slash, but suddenly a violent explosion blew them away.

Cade Watson's body spun dozens of times in the air before falling to the ground.

Just as Cade Watson was hurriedly trying to open the parachute of his backpack, a tall robot flew next to him, grabbed his arm, and hung him in the air.

 “Are you the commander of this fleet? My master wants to see you.”

 “Master?” Cade Watson looked at this strange-looking machine in surprise and asked, “Who is your master?”

The robot replied: "The great, benevolent, wise and knowledgeable one who has saved the world, Master Ultraman Tiga."
