Away from all the noise and quarrels, at the top of the sky connected to the distant sky, a giant bird soars above the sea of clouds.
On the sturdy body, wings extending far beyond the body are extended to the left and right sides. What is amazing is that just by flapping the wings, the giant bird can leisurely sail above the 10,000-meter altitude in the biological restricted area.
The Alfheim Defense Force Air Force transport aircraft "Bennu" has a wingspan of 965 meters, a length of 90 meters, and a height of 214 meters. 12 steam turbine engines are installed in the form of nacelles on the leading edge of the wings.
The scenery lined up in a row is extremely magnificent.
It has a maximum flight speed of 560 kilometers per hour, a practical ceiling of 13,000 meters, and a maximum payload of up to 200 tons - which can be roughly equivalent to 1,530 fully armed soldiers, or three Tiger tanks plus a light armored vehicle.
.
This super beast, which combines the technical features of the An-225 transport aircraft and the Focke-Wulf P195 project, is currently the world's highest altitude and fastest transport aircraft. It is also one of the high-altitude navigation technology demonstrators of the "Great"
It is also responsible for transporting various materials, equipment, and personnel. The military, which has discovered the potential of this kind of transportation-level improvement, is planning to develop the future.
Continuous gunship aircraft models. Various weapons ranging from 730 close-in defense guns, 50mm ~ 128mm tank guns, 105mm ~ 203mm howitzers to 107mm ~ 300mm caliber rocket launchers, etc. may be installed on the successor models of this transport aircraft, becoming
A kind of aerial gunship that the military likes to see. At present, Bennu plays the role of a taxi transporting annihilation troops.
The red combat readiness light in the hangar suddenly switched to green, and the solemn voice of the female announcer echoed.[
"Standard time 1500, arrived at the destination. The General Staff Headquarters sent Document No. 6, and the 'Throat Cutting Operation' was officially launched!"
"Understood, standard time 1500. Lieutenant Colonel Azdahaka of the Guards confirmed receipt of the combat order."
Wearing a dark coat and black goggles, Azdahaka turned around and walked out of the waiting room. The red warning lights flashed on and off in the hangar. Amidst the sound of hydraulically driven machinery, the tight-fitting rear cargo door slowly slowed down.
Slowly opening, the cold strong wind swept across the cargo warehouse instantly. A large transport aircraft as huge as Bennu also bumped up and down in the strong wind, and the abnormal sound of storm wind and metal vibration spread through every corner of the fuselage.
The crew members in the independent pressurized cabin are protected by the most advanced cabin pressurization technology and are protected from the thin air at high altitudes, low temperatures, and storms caused by the difference in internal and external pressure. But Azdahaka in the cargo warehouse
But he did not use any equipment. He stood on the deck with a calm expression and waited for instructions.
If it were a human being, he would have died of frostbite, ear bleeding, loss of consciousness, or even a burst lung lobe.
Thinking about the high-altitude human experiments I witnessed in the past, and looking at the smiling SS Lieutenant Colonel, the palms of the elves in the cockpit became wet and cold.
"The airspace is cleared, the cargo is separated, and the lowering operation begins!"
The captain shouted an order. Three airborne containers carrying special weapons came out one after another. When the last container came out smoothly, Azdahaka also jumped out of the cabin. In the panic of the crew members, the guests and the cargo soon became
The insignificant little black dot then disappeared, and in the gap in the sea of clouds below, one could vaguely see the emerald-like green island in the vast sea.

"What? Are you going to destroy this island too?"
Running with all her strength behind Roland, Minerva's ruddy face turned pale for an instant, and then filled with blood.
"How could you be so messy? Father and the others will not remain silent——"
"On the contrary, I think the company and the government have reached an agreement that the destruction of the Knights of the Golden Fleece and Alcatraz is a consensus after their discussions."
Roland didn't look back, but Minerva felt that he seemed to be smiling bitterly.
"Needless to say about the company, it is impossible for the royal family to compromise with a rebel army. The prime minister, navy, and Titans have long been eyeing the various behaviors of the army's royalists. Except for the army, which has ulterior motives and a wait-and-see attitude,
There is no one at the top who can speak for the Knights. As for foreign countries - by the time they receive the news, the matter here will be over long ago."
If the strong relationship is consistent, the coordination of all parties will be much smoother. Activities such as information blockade and surveillance of the army may have been carried out before the meeting reached a consensus. The next step is to implement "never negotiate with terrorists"
This principle nipped the "reform" hoped for by Hanmer and others in the bud, and at the same time, through vigorous suppression, warned the local royalists and ordered them not to make any changes.
"In addition to killing chickens to scare monkeys, there is another consideration: to eradicate the Knights of the Golden Fleece, most of whose members are Huguenot believers, to reach a reconciliation with Ymir. To delay foreign intervention in Charlemagne's internal affairs, and to take the opportunity to complete the control of the army.
Clean up."
With a little unpleasant explanation dissipated in the woods, Minerva staggered.
Although this is just Roland's test, Minerva does not doubt its authenticity.[
There is no doubt that for Charlemagne's various forces outside of Ve Company and the Army, such measures are in their best interests. When there is a need for interests, cold-blooded politics will definitely override morality and compassion.
Even without Ve Company's intervention, the government would eventually declare the Knights of the Golden Fleece as rebels and carry out a complete suppression. Now that someone is doing it for them, they don't have to get their own hands dirty, and they are even more happy to be free.
"The other hostages should have left successfully by boat. Most of the other ships have been destroyed. Next, as long as they leave with the help of the power of the 'abyss', it will basically end successfully."
"abyss?"
"They are domesticated dolphins and killer whales. With their help, they can easily escape from the sea."
After pushing aside the last bush, the dock was right in front of him, but Roland suddenly stopped moving forward. Minerva, who was unable to move forward, bumped into a solid back.
"What's wrong……?!"
As soon as she protested, Minerva stopped in shock.
The huge dragon head hangs down from above, and the quiet, emotionless black narrow pupils overlook them. Just being stared at makes it difficult for Minerva to move. In comparison, the men surrounding them with various weapons have almost no presence.
feel.
"What a troublesome uncle."
Clenching his molars, Roland spat out somewhat annoyed words.
"It's just that you were too naive and didn't kill me decisively."
With a flick of his hand, the anesthesia fell to the ground and jumped. Hammer, standing on the dragon's head, showed a regretful smile:
"Unfortunately, we often conduct poison tolerance training on a regular basis. Although it is not as exaggerated as being immune to all poisons, it can still weaken the effect of anesthetics."
"Hey, that's an anesthetic that can even be put on a whale. Could it be that Charlemagne's uncles are monsters?"
Roland complained calmly on the surface, but secretly clenched his fists, pulling at the wound on his back, and the piercing pain kept coming.
"It's really shameful to be said like this by a young man...Forget it, please just let it go. We really don't have the energy or patience to play this kind of chasing game anymore."
Seeing through Roland's bluff, Hammer's calm voice sounded more like an order than a persuasion.
"Please allow me to refuse."
The pain made his voice a little forced, but it contained a stubbornness that would never back down. After hearing this answer, Hammer glanced at Roland with admiration and regret, and raised his right hand high.
The surrounding soldiers burst out with genuine murderous intent. Even though they knew that the other party was planning to capture the two of them alive, Roland and Minerva could not help but be overwhelmed by the momentum.
Hammer didn't put down his hand for a long time, as if he sensed something. He looked up at the sky with a puzzled and surprised face. Roland, who also noticed "something" approaching from above his head, was also looking at the sky, and a knight he knew
They were different. The young man understood the direction in which the situation was changing and swallowed his cold saliva.[
In the blue sky above the head, three...four black spots quickly enlarged with a shrill roar. One of the plant-fruit-like objects burst open, and the three human-shaped objects hanging on the bracket were naked and blue-black.
Skin, and a bucket-like helmet covering his head. There is a strange shining single eye in the cross-shaped groove on the helmet. In his hand, he held an ax and hammer that was larger and heavier than his own height and lowered it towards Roland and the others. (To be completed.)
