"Renault is outflanking from the right, and Poitou is going behind. They move quickly and they start to accelerate upward!"
The roar of Simon, the commando deputy captain, rang directly in the minds of the team members. In the high altitude where the ears were filled with the whining of the strong wind, communication between the flying beast formations could only be carried out through the connection of consciousness. Through spiritual resonance, the communication between Simon and the gryphon knights
Surprise and anxiety were also shared.
They had every reason to be surprised. They disguised themselves as the Alcatraz Guard, approached on patrol, and suddenly launched an attack on the Zeppelin's engine. However, the fire-based spell "Explosive Flame Sword" - an attack magic capable of blowing away a small group of soldiers.
, leaving only some scorch marks on the shell, the giant white whale in front of me soared in the air without any hindrance.
"Damn it! Could it be that this guy is a solid iron bastard?!"
Magician Charente's complaints once again resonated with each other, and the veterans who had attacked the fortress also felt that the protection level of this spaceship was a bit abnormal.[
"Don't stop, keep attacking! This big guy can rise to 7,000 meters, but the gryphon can't fly that high!!"
As Simon spoke, he activated the "Frost and Snow Arrow" technique. The shell of the engine compartment was covered with a layer of frost, which quickly turned into steam. Flame and Wind Blade also had nothing to do with the engine cover armor, leaving only one or two
Insignificant traces of Tao.
"It's really stupid. Although this ship is a civilian ship, it is also the crystallization of technological power. What can that kind of painless magic do?"
Captain Ernst Lehmann took a sip of black tea, shook his head and said:
"Intensify your efforts and get rid of them."
"Yes, sir!"
The noise of the engine running increased slightly, and the altimeter readings turned faster. The attacks from outside could not even delay the Zeppelin.
This is natural, as Captain Lyman said, even though this is just a civilian ocean liner, it is not a thin-skinned dumpling that will be knocked down in a few hits.
During the design stage, the Zeppelin has fully considered the possibility of encountering emergencies. In order to improve the ship's survivability and escape probability when it is attacked by hostile forces or bandits, a layer of 82mm thick armor plates is laid on key parts.
, and extends all the way to the engine compartment. Covering the engine and liquid cooling device.
This layer of armor is enough to withstand attacks from small and medium-caliber anti-aircraft guns, not to mention the transformational attack spells at the four-sided and five-sided levels.
"While they are wandering around outside, we will reach the safe airspace, and then there will be nothing wrong with them -"
Standing behind the captain's seat, staring at the group of griffins attacking outside, Freya frowned and said:
"Too suspicious."
There are three griffons in a group, and the drivers are all magicians with at least four levels. Elegant and refined driving skills, individual and group coordination - there is no doubt that these people are veterans with sufficient battlefield experience, most likely
The real Knights of the Golden Fleece, not the imposter Air Robbers. The Knights launched an attack on a cruise ship full of noble merchants including Charlemagne, including a princess and her fiancé. This was suspected to be an act of rebellion.
Abandoning their honor and motherland, what do these guys want to do? Is it just to plunder the wealth on the ship to make up for the unpaid wages of the War Department? Or is there some other important purpose?
Not only is the motive a mystery, but the messy tactics are also suspicious. The griffons just attack the engine compartment blindly. Moreover, the attacks are also very scattered. If they focus on attacking a certain engine, at least one or two engines can be defeated by now.
Something happened that slowed down the speed of the spacecraft's ascent. But they didn't do that. They still carried out scattered attacks from east to west. There was no adaptability that the ace troops had learned from the battlefield. They were just like rookies who acted according to the textbook.
.
——It’s almost as if he did it on purpose.
Illogical behavior proves more powerfully than any report or message that the enemy has other hands.
"Which friendly force is closest to us?"[
Freya asked loudly as she continued to observe the griffons and magic knights' unseemly and lame attacks.
The communications sergeant was stunned for a moment, turned the radio knob for a while, looked at the small book with the identification code, and replied:
"200 nautical miles south-south-west, the newly built Derflinger-class battleship Prinz Eugen is undergoing sea trials. 350 nautical miles due south, the Navy's Fourth Submarine Detachment is undergoing formation training."
"By the time they arrive, the enemy attack will have been over long ago. Do we have to rely on ourselves?"
"But, Lady Freya, the thieves have not caused any substantial damage to this ship. If only after a while, they will have to retreat due to the height..."
"So we need to call in friendly forces for support?"
Captain Lyman couldn't help but shiver as his cold eyes glanced over.
"If you dare to launch an assault with a small number of combat forces, after encountering setbacks, the enemy must have other strategies, or else he may have other intentions."
Following the nerves trained on the battlefield, Freya ordered like a battle-experienced general:
"Lower the cabin partition, stabilize the passengers, contact each cabin, and confirm that there is anything abnormal! Send a security team to monitor Her Royal Highness and Roland. If any suspicious person approaches, shoot them immediately!"
"Yes, sir!"
Reflexively standing at attention and saluting, Captain Lyman immediately started making arrangements. The captain also knew what Freya was worried about.
Internal response.
This ship is indeed technologically advanced and has a solid structure, but that is only for intruders from the outside. If someone destroys it from the inside, such as attacking the lifting mechanism and damaging the engine room. Even if it is as huge as the Zeppelin
, will be like a giant whale stranded on the beach, and will be slaughtered by others, without the ability to fight back.
As for strengthening the protection of those two people, there is nothing to ask about.
What allows a group of madmen to rely only on a group of griffons, regardless of the performance gap and the risk of suffering painful retaliation, to launch an attack on the Zeppelin must be something of corresponding value. And on this ship, there is nothing better than Migne
Are Watt and Roland more valuable?
"The evacuation of passengers has been completed!"
"All the broadside armor plates have been lowered, all the isolation walls inside the ship have been lowered, and the ship has entered isolation mode!"
"very good!"
Satisfied with the crew's well-trained training, Freya nodded, then tilted the corners of her mouth upwards, revealing a ferocious expression that resembled a beast licking its lips at its prey.
"Open all the gun mounts and use white phosphorus and hen to greet the guests! Let the cargo warehouse prepare my 'red wildebeest'. I have to go say hello to them later."
The weapons control loudly repeated the order, and a dozen round holes appeared in the Zeppelin's hull, and some strange things came out of it.[
There are 7 circular tubes in the middle of the hemispherical base arranged in a circular shape. The dark tubes point towards the gryphon knight who is unaware of the approaching danger and slowly rotates.
"Thank you for your hard work. Now, please rest here."
Freya smiled grimly and lowered her raised right arm, and the 730 close-range anti-cannons released enthusiastic cheers for the first actual combat. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote at Qidian. Your monthly vote is your support.
