Chapter 1286 The Eagle Over the Maple Leaf Danlin (Part 2)
Time passes minute by minute.
The sky gradually turned from bright to dark.
The alarm in Maple Leaf Forest has been sounding for more than five hours.
At this time, the sun had sunk below the horizon, the sky was dark, and there were only the last red clouds left in the western sky. The earth was about to fall into darkness. However, there was still no unusual movement in the vast sky.
The Maple Leaf Danlin people on campus have long been ready for battle.
They stretched their necks and looked up at the sky until their necks ached, but they did not find the lich who was about to attack Maple Leaf Danlin.
The enemy did not arrive as expected, and most people's excited emotions faded little by little over time.
Especially young people, when the alarm sounds, they are all excited, but the enthusiasm comes and goes very quickly.
Two hours later, many people had given up monitoring the sky and gathered together in twos and threes to discuss when the damn undead tribesmen would arrive.
Everyone agreed that the undead that comes the fastest is the best undead.
Because, by arriving early, everyone can naturally deal with them neatly. In this way, they can still catch up with the celebration party in the evening, and then pretend to be 13, pick up girls and so on.
If you are lucky and win the favor of a girl, you may be able to find a place to chat with a beautiful girl about life and explore the philosophical dialectical relationship between human postmodern behaviorism and the third stage of social ethics. And it is still very in-depth.
Very in-depth...
Every time they think of this, everyone has a lewd smile on their face. Then they wish they could all have wings and fly in front of them.
But everyone was like stupid birds, waiting with their necks straight for most of the day, but those damn undead were as despicable, shameless and obscene as described in the history books... They just couldn't get over, wasting the precious time of the gentlemen.
Therefore, many people became impatient with waiting and began to curse.
When it got dark, the undead still hadn't come.
At this time, everyone had been scolding for most of the day. Everyone's mouth was dry and they didn't even have the strength to curse.
Almost all students have given up.
Many bold students even ignored the college's evacuation warning and went in groups to find a place to have dinner.
No matter whether the spirits of the dead come or not, people always have to eat.
At this time, the students were already discussing whether the undead would attack their Maple Leaf Danlin. But was Lord Lorraine's prediction accurate?
Could it be that the undead didn't come at all?
Could Sir Alex Siren's warning be a false alarm?
Or is this just a realistic exercise. Let everyone work in vain to see everyone's adaptability?
In any case, many people are extremely pessimistic, thinking that this time it's just a dog biting a pig's urine bubble, and it's all for nothing.
In the towering magic tower, the noble wizards were also waiting impatiently.
Someone had the courage to quietly advise Dean Lester, who had been looking at the sky, and said: "Your Excellency, Grand Magister, it's getting late. We have been waiting for a few hours. Should we let everyone take a rest and eat some food?"
physical strength."
Lester's face turned solemn when he heard this. He let out a dissatisfied "hmm" and said, "Don't worry, they will definitely come."
Different from the hesitation and suspicion of Maple Leaf Danlin students, Dean Lester insisted that the undead must attack Maple Leaf Danlin.
Because his old man made a bet with Lorraine, so those undead souls had better know their identity, come over quickly, and let him kill them.
Then he can laugh at Lorraine, whose guess is not accurate at all.
For this reason, the Great Mage of the Forbidden Curse of Lester is like a young man in love, staying motionless under the window of his lover, patiently guarding the magic tower, and even forgets the passage of time.
The professor who spoke saw Lester's displeased expression and was so frightened that he did not dare to speak.
However, Lester also felt that it was not appropriate to starve everyone like this. He thought for a moment, then waved his hand and said: "Have people bring food to the tower. I have a hunch that the enemy may arrive soon."
The old mages in their fifties and sixties looked at each other and saw the helplessness on each other's faces.
There is no way. Although the Magic Academy is known as the ivory tower among ivory towers, there is a saying: "Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes."
Wherever there are Jianghu, there will naturally be Jianghu bosses.
In Maple Leaf Danlin Academy, Lester, as the dean of the Magic Academy, is a well-known boss in the world.
No one dares not to listen to what this old academic has to say.
Discipline funding, everyone's salary and bonus, professional title evaluation, research project approval... and other financial and personnel powers are all in the hands of this old guy Lester.
As long as you want to recruit two more graduate students, get more funds, do more projects, and get more results... then you have to try your best to flatter Dean Lester. And you have to flatter him.
Just be comfortable~!
Therefore, even though everyone felt a little tired, they still had to hold on on the magic tower.
The setting sun emitted its last ray of light and disappeared below the horizon. Unknowingly, boundless darkness came like a tide and enveloped the entire land.
There is only one round moon in the sky.
Summer night has arrived~!
At this time, Lester's uneasiness became more and more intense.
Night fighting is a weakness of humans, but it is a strength of lichs. Liches' vision is not affected by the night. Once they attack at this time, humans' combat power will inevitably be greatly reduced.
Just as uneasy as Lester was Paulos, who had been waiting for the fighter plane at an altitude of three thousand meters.
Until now, the reconnaissance team sent out has still not returned. Judging by time, they may have flown nearly a thousand miles away.
Paulus stood at the window, with his hands behind his back, looking at the dark sky outside the window, waiting quietly. He was not worried about whether the undead would come today. Even if they didn't come, this time it was a good practice.
Because those undead will always come~!
Even if it’s not today, it will be tomorrow or the day after tomorrow~!
The duty of Paulos and the captains is to respond to the challenge, no matter when the lichs come. They must use the highest fighting spirit to deal the heaviest blow to those lichs.
He was worried about the same thing as Lester. Darkness was not good for human mages.
Although the captains have all trained in field combat, they are not lichs after all, and the night will inevitably affect their performance.
The lichs all know this, and they are not idiots. They will definitely take advantage of this and deliberately choose to attack in the dark~!
And the deeper the night goes...
Thinking of this, he looked at the waning moon in the sky and thought silently in his heart: The weaker the visibility, the more disadvantageous it will be for his side.
At this moment, in the deep blue sky in the south, a twinkling starlight lit up. Although it was inconspicuous, it was immediately caught by the alert Paulus.
His body couldn't help but trembled, and he looked quickly attentively.
The stars in the distance flashed again, seemingly brighter than before.
After a few seconds, it flashed a few more times.
Paulus could see clearly, two were long and one was short.
Others in the War Fortress also noticed the flash of light at this time and shouted: "Boss, it seems to be a signal."
Paulos looked solemn and nodded. He said in a deep voice: "We are finally here."
One long flash indicates that the enemy has been discovered, and one long flash and one short flash indicate that the number of enemies is approximately one hundred and fifty, which is two and a half times their number.
The enemy is finally here~!
As a soldier, although he was always eager to make achievements, at this moment, it was finally confirmed that the enemy had arrived, but it still made him feel a chill deep in his heart.
The world war has finally arrived~!
Although this war was expected by everyone, as the saying goes, 'One battle results in a thousand deaths.'
Once this world war starts, I don’t know how many lives will be burned, how many heroes will be stained with blood on the battlefield, and how many families will be broken up...
But then, he shook his head vigorously, throwing the thought that he felt was very disgusting out of his mind.
In the next second, Paulus calmly and loudly ordered: "Turn on the lights and prepare to attack."
A general is the courage of a soldier. Only when a general is calm and steady in battle can the soldiers be full of confidence in victory. Even though Paulus' heart was beating wildly with excitement at the moment and the blood vessels in his forehead were bulging, he still calmed down and rehearsed the battle in his mind.
plan.
The captain, commanded by Paulus, first lit the lights overhead and at the four corners.
The war fortresses lined up behind him lit up their lights one after another. The red and yellow glare lights were particularly bright in the night. They looked like a field of bright stars from a distance.
There was nothing they could do about it. In order to maintain formation and avoid collisions during night battles, they could only light up their anti-collision lights, which of course would make them more conspicuous.
Paulus glanced back through the window, and dozens of lights behind him illuminated the outline of the war fortress.
"Let's go!" Paulus ordered loudly.
Following the order, his car took the lead and rushed towards the south, and the others quickly followed in neat formation.
Back then, everyone in Lorraine had captured and brought back a war fortress from the demon clan. Although it now belongs to Lester, the academy had conducted detailed tests on that war fortress and left various data.
Paulus knew that the maximum altitude for the undead war fortress to fly was around two thousand meters. If it were any higher, the energy consumption would increase greatly, making it uneconomical.
Liches generally choose to fly at an altitude of about one thousand meters, so that they can use the terrain as a reference to determine their location.
In comparison, the improved war fortress produced by Maple Leaf Danlin had a high degree of advantage, and Paulus decided to take this advantage to the extreme.
A few minutes later, Paulus and the War Fortress who sent the signal met in the air. When the two War Fortresses were approaching, the War Fortress captain who was sent out for reconnaissance braved the strong airflow in the air and took the risk of flying into Paulus's lead plane.
.
The mage's plump, round face turned red from the cold night wind. He couldn't help but rub his hands and said quickly: "The enemies are coming from the south-southwest. The number is estimated to be around one hundred and fifty. I'm here."
We found them around 5:30 in the afternoon, and now we estimate that they are less than 300 miles away from here."
Paulus nodded calmly, thinking quickly in his mind, and said to himself: "Three hundred miles, which means my speed is one hundred to one hundred and twenty miles ahead of them. That's good~!"
Paulos turned to the adjutant and asked: "How long will it take for the enemy to reach our position?"
The adjutant put a pen on the paper and immediately replied: "A conservative estimate, forty minutes."
Paulus was thinking about tactics in his mind, and after a few seconds, he gave a decisive order: "We cannot fight this battle on top of Maple Leaf Danlin. Move forward one hundred and fifty miles. We will ambush them there."
"Yes," the adjutant agreed immediately, and immediately informed his comrades behind him in the language of lights.
Paulus led a team composed of forty war fortresses, drew an arc, and flew to the battlefield.
The adjutant checked the watch to calculate the flight distance. Ten minutes later, the war fortresses departing from Maple Leaf Danlin all hovered in the sky and turned off their lights.
The entire team is like a poisonous king cobra, lurking under the black night. Just waiting for their prey to appear, they launch a fatal attack.
In everyone's perception, time passes much slower than usual at this time, and every second seems to be as long as a month.
Paulos and the captains were in the same mood, waiting excitedly and nervously.
This will be their first battle, and they have been training for a long time. The results will be seen soon.
How advanced their equipment is, whether their tactics are effective, and whether their crews are brave and fearless... will all be proven in battle.
Ten minutes later, an imperceptible green light appeared in the dark night sky.
"Here we come." Paulus loosened his sweaty fists and shouted excitedly.
After the green light suddenly appeared, within a few seconds, a large number of light spots suddenly emerged in the night sky, shaped like a group of flying fireflies, and the number was incalculable.
The war fortress of the undead finally appears in sight~!
Paulos finally breathed a sigh of relief. The facts proved that his arrangement was correct. The enemy's speed and direction were exactly as he expected.
Then Paulus smiled relaxedly and said to his adjutant: "These lichs are really a bunch of fools. They neglected their greatest advantage and did not turn off the lights during a sneak attack in the dark."
The adjutant shrugged and guessed: "Maybe they think it's not necessary."
Paulos smiled and shook his head, bursting with strong confidence in an instant, and sneered: "Since you have delivered it to your door, I won't be polite."
Then he calmly watched the green light composed of war fortresses streak across the sky, passing dozens of miles directly in front of him.
Paulus estimated the distance and kept counting down secretly in his mind. He watched the war fortress of the undead flying past him in scattered formations. He suddenly shouted and said: "Light up~!"
The lights on the five corners of the war fortress lighted up at the same time, and then behind him, the lights on the war fortress that were also lurking and waiting turned on at the same time.
"Charge up~!" Paulus waved his hand vigorously, and the war fortress under his feet trembled slightly, and then accelerated suddenly. The huge inertia made Paulus lose his balance and took two steps back.
The red-yellow glowing maple leaves built a war fortress and rushed towards the enemy team as fast as they could.
The distance of dozens of miles passed by in an instant. In Paulus's eyes, it seemed that the enemy had not yet reacted. They still maintained the same speed and flew northward, as if they had not noticed them.
This made Paulus secretly wonder, and he thought to himself: Do they have some trick?
The distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, and after a few minutes, Paulus could even see the vague outline of the Undead war fortress.
It was only then that the enemy seemed to notice the movements here, and the outermost war fortresses were able to turn around and face Paulos and the others, while the large number of troops were still flying straight.
Paulus couldn't help but licked his lips and exclaimed in surprise: "What a great opportunity~!"
It's as if the enemy has taken the initiative to send his softest belly to the Maple Leaf Danlin's knife head.
After a few breaths, against the dark blue sky, Paulus could already clearly see the dark appearance of the enemy. At the same time, a signal came from the fort and the enemy entered the shooting range.
Paulos grabbed the intercom, stared at the war fortress opposite, and shouted loudly: "Steady, come closer. Steady, steady..."
Paulus wanted to ensure that the artillery could hit the target accurately and kill with one hit.
Ten seconds later, Paulus, who was at the top of Maple Leaf Danlin's charging team, was only a few hundred meters away from the nearest enemy.
Through the green light on the opposite side, Paulos could even see the figure shaking in the enemy's window.
The enemy collided straight towards him, and a green light shot out from the middle of the enemy's war fortress, drawing a clear arc in the air and flying over dozens of meters away from Paulus's lead plane.
The enemy fired first.
Paulos sneered, waiting for the dark mage or lich to charge the magic cannon again, there would still be at least ten seconds.
"That's enough." Paulos thought to himself, tightly gripping the phone with his big hand, and yelled at the top of his lungs: "Fire~!"
The two cannons on the upper weapons platform roared simultaneously.
The muzzle fire instantly illuminated the night sky, and a "boom" sound followed, shaking the eardrums of the people in the war fortress.
The undead war fortress that was charging towards them suddenly burst into flames.
One of the shots hit it right in the face.
The heavy shell penetrated the outer wall and penetrated deeply into the interior.
Intense flames spurted out from the war fortress, and the violent explosion opened the entire upper part. The burning flames jumped out from the war fortress, illuminating only half of the dilapidated war fortress.
There seemed to be human bodies falling from the sky in the firelight.
The hit war fortress decelerated instantly, then suddenly sank, billowing black smoke, making a strange spiral, and falling diagonally downward towards the ground quickly.
"Okay~!" Paulus hit his palm hard and scored the first victory.
His adjutant danced happily and shouted beside him.
Paulus grabbed the intercom and yelled: "Ignore it, fire at the enemy directly in front, fire, fire~!"
During his crazy roar, the artillerymen in the weapons room all had red eyes. It only took four seconds to push the artillery prepared next to it to the front, and quickly aimed at another approaching war fortress and fired.
The muzzle flash flashed, and the undead war fortress less than 500 meters away from them did not explode, but missed.
Just when the officer commanded the artillery to rotate the artillery and prepare to continue shooting, the target Undead War Fortress exploded and turned into pieces in a sheet of orange flames.
The captains following Paulos also started shooting.
The Maple Leaf Danlin people's team formed a sharp triangle, with Paulus as the sharp dagger tip, piercing into the undead's war fortress team.
The enemy's troops were so dense that they seemed to rush into a honeycomb. For a time, the enemy's war fortresses were all around, and the artillerymen were even in a hurry to choose targets.
The captain kept the tactical rules in mind, and each team concentrated fire to attack a target. No matter whether they hit or not, they maintained high speed and looked for the next closest target.
Brilliant sparks exploded in the air one after another.
What surprised Paulos and the captains was that the enemy never fought back, and their magic cannons seemed to have misfired.
