Chapter 1490: ?Cinnabar Flame

The sirens became harsher, and thick black smoke hit the sky, reaching thousands of feet.

As long as the wizards on the ground of the base look up, they can see a Nautilus floating boat hovering high in the sky in a small formation, arranged in a triangle, and then take the responsibility of the other small formations, and then start dropping bombs one by one. attack.

The magical anti-aircraft crossbows on the ground also began to shoot into the air intensively. Rows of these crossbow arrows were dumped toward the sky. Although this kind of old-fashioned weapon is easy to avoid when facing an enemy that is too high, some of them After being additionally cast with crossbow arrows that increase distance and acceleration, they still successfully hit some Nautilus—especially some who were more reckless and kept their height at a low level to ensure that the bombs hit the floater.

This kind of floater, which is actually more civilian and lower in defense, loses speed after being hit, and also makes other slower, but gravity-attached crossbow arrows hit.

After these crossbow arrows hit the target, the arrow will cast the stored magic, which will change the gravity of nearby objects within a short period of time. This makes the hit floater basically just struggle a few times before losing its floating ability. Falling from the air.

After falling to the ground, these floating boats would make huge crashes and explosions because of the alchemy bombs or other props they carried, and the short-term screams of the wizards before they had time to apparate.

However, the Magic Kingdom has never used Nautilus as a battleship. After these reconnaissance ships launched an attack, huge tentacles stretched out like waves in the smoke and clouds in the air.

The floating warships in the shape of giant squid burst out of the clouds. As the main force of the fleet’s actual offensive, their own long and narrow shadows shrouded the buildings in the defensive area below. The huge tentacles with activation spells swayed and wriggled in the air. Then, once the building is entangled, it will start to glow, and the counter-curse of the spell above will start to touch the defensive enchantment of the contacted object. Once it is lifted, a little bit of force will change the buildings that have lost their magical protection. Got to be shattered.

And all the wizards that the flexible tentacles that stretched and curled up all around, except for a few unlucky ones who were directly slapped to death, most of them immediately turned into black smoke, and were forcibly teleported to the interior of the spaceship by the phantoms attached to them. Later, they were directly imprisoned in rows of coffin-shaped prisons wrapped in black ribs. (Author's note: Refer to the trailer for Baldur's Gate III, the way of attacking the floating boat by the ghost sucker.)

And this kind of brutal offensive was caused by the previous US guerrilla attacks in the mountains. After causing great losses to the kingdom, the Magic Kingdom now no longer has the habit of being merciful—at least before confirming its safety.

The explosion sounded as loud as thunder, and mushroom-like flames rushed into the sky, reaching thousands of feet high. The burning shards fell like raindrops nearby, and there were even corpse fragments among them.

The strong scent of the super big dung bomb, the pungent smell of tumbling black smoke, and the disgusting sweet smell of the burnt corpse... all kinds of indescribable odors mixed together, forming an unbearable the taste of.

The violent hiss of crossbow arrows, the explosion of alchemy bombs, and the screams of wizards were intertwined throughout the base.

Although the battles and base buildings on the ground seem to be quite tragic, the American magical world has long been prepared when it establishes a defensive base.

Although the exposed areas and slow-reacting wizards are now suffering heavy blows, the American wizards who have been trained in the past have not received much damage. They strictly follow the tactics of the United Kingdom when it attacked Germany and Bulgaria. He conducted special training and responded, hiding in the fortifications where the main body is actually inside the mountain.

These orderly wizards wore gas masks, so only those buildings on the ground were blown up, but the real fortifications of their main buildings, underground defense areas, underground bunkers and fortresses did not suffer much loss.

The magical air-defense crossbow on the surface has become the most threatening symbol of the United States. From the initial panic, unorganized and scattered, to more and more air-defense crossbows joining the battle and violent and orderly attacks, the United States relied on the magical air-defense crossbow. The exchange of firepower for shelter, and even after successfully destroying a few giant squid-shaped floating ships, temporarily contained the first wave of attacks of the Magic Kingdom.

However, this is obviously also a reason for the United Kingdom in order to reduce losses. After they launched their own blitzkrieg attack which was ineffective, dense floating boats began to gather and surround outside the defense area, occupying layers of the outer space of the US defense area.

With the arrival of the flagship of the heavy sail battleship in the distance, the ground armed forces of the United Kingdom, such as summoned creatures such as hellhounds, golems, and undead creatures, emerged from the deck of the ship in an orderly manner and cast them on other wizards. With the help of the shock absorption curse, he fell directly on the ground and began to assemble, rectifying his strength and preparing for the next round of attack.

Within a short period of time, in the defense zone surrounded by the United Kingdom, the sound of bombing and explosions that had come quickly and urgently disappeared. After it was determined that the fighting had temporarily stopped, the American wizards in the defense zone watched from the bunker. Seeing the tragic sight on the ground, the people in the defense zone were panicked for a while.

Even a few wizards who were inexperienced or who had been stimulated by the real war to forget the training order ran back again, trying to find friends and relatives who had not succeeded in hiding in the bunker, and those wizards who had never died before also began to shout, or Wanting to find someone, or wanting to ask for help because of injury, various sounds that sounded uncomfortable like **** moved around in the defense zone.

"This panic must be stopped!" Leonard was already watching from the bunker in the mountain, frowning and scanning the expressions of these people, feeling a burst of despair. He pulled the correspondent who had been with him, and ordered in a hurry. , "Blow the whistle!"

Although the correspondent seemed a bit dull because of the war just now, he was accustomed to obedience immediately took out a whistle, puffed up his cheeks and blew it fiercely. The curse effect in it could theoretically ensure that everyone present could hear it. arrive.

However, after three long whistles and three rapid and dense whistles, not many people paid attention to Leonard and the others, and even the scared wizards began to apparate as leaders. Leonard was a deserter before giving the order.

Seeing that the scene was out of control, Leonard directly apparated and returned to the ground. He suddenly pulled out his wand and pointed at the sky to release a cinnabar flame curse.

There were three bangs.

This red flame, which was used by ordinary wizards as a signal bomb, rose slowly to the sky. The red light illuminates the surrounding area. These three cinnabar flames are very conspicuous in a dense fog of smoke.

Then at the same time Leonard gave a loud voice to his badge and commanded loudly: "The project leaders come to me! Others follow the previous training and immediately return to the underground and guard their posts."

Leonard's back was straight, as if nothing could crush him. With a wave of his wand, he caught a wizard who wanted to be a deserter with a flying curse and punched him on the opponent's nose, making him calm in his dizziness. Write, and then calmly stared at the few ashamed little bosses who had just gathered, and he commanded forcefully: "Help me, put order in order, let these **** guys enter where they deserve to be... I Allow you to cast spells on the panic-makers."
