Chapter 879: despair after hope
Looking at the rather embarrassed figure of the white knight through the observation window, the smile on Chad's fat face became more intense.
Just as everyone thought, it was the second commander of the blood head who used the summoned explosive puppet to detonate the ammunition bay of the empty ship.
For the notorious him, stepping on the corpses of his subordinates is obviously a very normal thing.
"As long as you can kill this guy, even if you blow up 10 airships, it's worth it."
Chad snorted coldly, and stared at the white knight who was already stagnant in mid-air, his eyes were gloomy.
Just now, he had quietly dispersed the explosive puppets into the remaining airships.
As soon as that nasty Pegasus rider approaches, no matter which one it is, it will explode immediately.
"Even the fifth-tier powerhouses cannot continue to be unscathed by such a large-scale explosion. You must know that the alchemy bombs carried by each airship are enough to destroy an army!"
Chad looked confident and didn't seem to care about the current loss. He said arrogantly: "I don't believe this guy can play tricks..."
This time, Chad's voice was not finished yet.
The mutation happened again.
Suddenly, an extremely dazzling pale yellow light flickered at the position where the white knight was.
During the strong wind, a huge tornado condensed in the sky at high speed, and swept straight towards several airships not far away.
Although under the previous attack of the White Knights, the formation of the airship formation has been extremely scattered.
But due to the roaring speed of the giant tornado, it is too fast, and the coverage is extremely wide.
As a result, four airships caught off guard were involved one after another, which soon triggered violent explosions and turned into dust.
"what happened?!"
Chad didn't wait for the unexpected reaction.
From the position where the white knight was, dozens of air-conditioned ice rays shot out again.
These icy rays rising from the air-conditioning, like icy meteors, whizzed across the night sky rapidly, and shot straight towards the unprepared airships on the other side.
Not long after, four more airships that had no time to dodge were pierced through the hull by the ice rays, and fell crookedly.
This is not over yet, more than a dozen unstoppable ice rays finally gathered together again, forming an incomparably huge ice shackle, once again smashing an empty ship directly.
So far, even though the White Knight did not approach any target, there were still 9 airships that were destroyed one after another.
This made the originally huge fleet of airships appear to be alone, with only the last 10 ships left.
Needless to say, what the white knight used was naturally the magic scroll that Lei Xiao had just given.
They are [Fifth-Rank Magic Scroll: Roaring Wind Demon] and [Fifth-Rank Magic Scroll: Lock of Ice Dragon].
Lei Xiao clearly understood that although these magic scrolls are powerful, their range is relatively limited, and they cannot directly attack high-altitude targets from the ground.
Only then will these two precious fifth-order magic scrolls be given to the white knight for him to use as he sees fit.
Then, the white knight used several fourth-order magic scrolls successively, destroying three airships from a long distance again.
During this process, Lei Xiao and the others, who had already gotten rid of the interference of the pterosaur puppet, did not sit idle.
A series of anti-aircraft spells, like anti-aircraft guns, gathered in the sky one after another, and shot down two empty boats one after another, reducing the number of empty boats of the opponent to only five.
"Long live Master Ke Qing! Long live Your Highness the Princess!"
Seeing the mighty 50 empty boats, 45 of them have been shot down. Whether it is our soldiers fighting below or the main subordinates, they are all excited.
This undoubtedly means that although it is very hard-won, this mortal catastrophe of life and death has been announced to be lifted!
Just as our soldiers were cheering for joy.
Correspondingly, in the opponent's camp, it was eerily quiet.
On the battlefields everywhere, whether it is the black duke who initiated all this, or the No. 3 man in black robe, or Chad who is still watching all this from the flagship.
Not only did they not show any panic, on the contrary, they all raised a smile in unison.
Then, something happened that we didn't expect.
I saw the enemy soldiers who were attacking the city wall suddenly began to retreat like a tide, as if some kind of disaster was about to come.
Looking at the enemy soldiers retreating rapidly under the city, our main commander and main subordinates were all confused and began to look at each other in blank dismay.
With the calm response of the lord and the support of the white knight.
Although the opponent's last 5 airships have passed through the mountains, they are no longer far from the city wall.
But in this remaining distance, the air defense force dominated by the lord is enough to completely wipe it out.
It is not difficult to see from this that since the airship fleet is no longer a threat, no matter how you think about it, the opponent should not retreat.
After all, the successive losses of airships have greatly affected the opponent's overall morale.
If they retreat in an all-round way at this time and return without success, morale will drop directly to the bottom.
At that time, it will undoubtedly be even more difficult to successfully capture the already crumbling Wangxing City.
"Why did the other side take the initiative to retreat? What other plans do they have?"
On the top of the mountain where the magical brilliance appeared and disappeared, Lei Xiao looked up at the only five remaining airships, and commanded his subordinates to continue the attack, with a serious expression on his face.
Lei Xiao clearly understands that the opponent will never give up easily when it comes to the point where it is up to you to play all the cards.
This undoubtedly means that things are far from being as simple as they appear.
Such a sudden retreat by the other party must be the real beginning of the storm.
"But where is the source of the storm?"
Lei Xiao watched as one empty boat was shot down again, while the remaining four were still heading straight towards the city wall, and suddenly realized something, his complexion turned pale.
"I remember what Curio said in the report just now, the other party was hidden in the illusion barrier at first, and then suddenly appeared, which made us unexpected."
"Could it be that the number of the opponent's fleet is far more than these 50 ships? As for the other airships, are they still hidden in the illusion barrier?"
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao felt a chill run down his spine, and felt the hairs all over his body tremble.
Only in this way can it be explained why the opponent only has 4 empty boats left, but they are still approaching the city wall regardless of life and death!
Lei Xiao just thought of this.
At a height of 10,000 meters, there was indeed a change that Lei Xiao didn't want to see the most.
A large number of brand new scarlet "devil eyes" began to gradually emerge in the dark night.
Just like the gods of death exuding the breath of death, Sensen looked down on this piece of land that was riddled with holes.
In just a moment, there were hundreds of empty boats, which lost the protection of the invisibility illusion, and appeared in front of everyone out of thin air!
In the blink of an eye, the overwhelming scene caused the calm night sky to become turbulent again and become extremely dangerous.
The terrifying scene of seeing the dark clouds covering the sun reappeared, before our soldiers could react.
Nearly a hundred newly-appeared airships have all opened fire, and their targets are directed at the white knight who is still hovering in midair.
Violent energy fluctuations swept across the room, and dazzling and deadly streams of magic of various colors formed a dense barrage.
Just like a stormy sea, it roared towards the white knight rapidly, the momentum can be described as extremely astonishing.
Facing the sudden fatal danger, although the white knight was caught off guard.
But as a powerful fifth-level powerhouse, the White Knight's reaction was still extremely fast, and he immediately urged the puppet Pegasus to step down and sprint away towards the distance.
However, since the puppet pegasus that the white knight steps down is only a fourth-order level after all, the reaction is relatively limited.
Coupled with the attack range of more than a hundred airships, it directly covered the entire sky.
Therefore, the white knight was inevitably hit by a part of the barrage in the end, and began to fall crookedly.
Through the gradually dissipating gunpowder smoke in the sky, Lei Xiao, who used the amber longmu pill, noticed it.
Although the white knight was still surrounded by energy barriers, the puppet Pegasus's wings were scorched black, obviously suffering a lot of damage.
"My lord, the White Knight has lost its ability to fight in the air, and it is a blessing to be able to land smoothly."
Chaoyan blinked her starry eyes, looking at the figure trying to control Tianma in mid-air, a rare panic appeared on her fair face: "Those airships are close at hand, what should we do now?"
After Chao Yan finished speaking, the other subordinates in the surrounding environment all showed panic and began to look at each other in blank dismay.
Under the leadership of the lord, we tried our best to destroy most of the 50 airships with difficulty.
But now, instead of decreasing, the number of opponents has doubled, and they are already very close to Wangxing City!
On the other hand, our side is already at the end of its strength, and the white knight has lost its ability to fight in the air... Under such circumstances, besides destruction, who else can rewrite this inevitable fate? !
Thinking of this one after another in my heart, a breath of despair suddenly spread around Lei Xiao.
At the same time, our main soldiers and recruits who had just had a breather on the front line were even more terrified, and seemed to have completely lost their fighting spirit.
Even a three-year-old child can see that such a huge fleet of enemy airships can turn Wangxing City into a scorching purgatory in an instant.
In this case, even if they escape, they have nowhere to hide!
You know, just now they thought they had escaped a catastrophe, but they didn't expect the accident to happen so quickly.
The despair after hope is like a heavy punch from a devil, shattering the fighting spirit in the hearts of our soldiers.
I saw that many of our soldiers were sitting slumped on the ground, and their weapons even fell off, causing morale to drop directly to the bottom.
Seeing this scene, the enemy soldiers who retreated to the safe area were all full of sarcasm, and began to laugh unscrupulously.
A mere insignificant outsider dared to fight against the great figures of the traditional aristocracy and the new aristocrats, it was like hitting a stone with an egg!
And these stupid soldiers would choose to join that insignificant camp of outsiders, and they are even seeking their own death!
While joking in their hearts, the eyes of the enemy soldiers fell on the Tier 3 weapons and armor of our soldiers, all showing greed and murderous intent in their eyes.
The commanders have already said that as long as these guys are killed, the equipment can be obtained by those who can.
At the same time that the situation on the frontal battlefield has completely favored the opponent.
The battle situation in the city also inevitably reversed.
Although most of the elite enemy soldiers of the Underground Legion have been lost, the remaining enemy soldiers are still full of fighting spirit and continue to launch fierce attacks on the new recruits we are besieging.
As long as they persist until the bombing comes, and then they hide underground, everything will naturally be settled!
"Jie Jie Jie, so what if there is that white knight rushing to help?"
The No. 3 man in black cast a glance at the airship fleet that was about to reach the city wall, and sneered.
"No, the era when the two of you ruled over a kingdom has passed. Even if the two strongmen of the Lengyan royal family are dispatched, they can't stop me from waiting!"
The No. 3 black-robed man was full of murderous intent. While waving his claws and launching a fierce melee attack towards Wu, he said solemnly: "Use your life to welcome the advent of the new era!"
"A new era has indeed arrived, but the protagonists will never be you."
Can't calmly dodge the opponent's offensive, his words are still calm.
But completely different from the calmness on the surface, Wu's heart has almost lost his last hope.
In the final analysis, the guest from another world, the time of arrival is still too short.
In the face of these unfathomable opponents, being able to persevere to such a point, and even attracting both himself and the white knight to come to help, is enough to go down in history.
In this case, even if it is myself, I can't think of how to break this mortal situation.
As for Teresa on the other side, she clenched her red lips tightly, her face full of panic.
She never thought that the other side actually had 100 empty boats appearing!
"Rao is your Excellency, Ke Qing, who knows things like a god, I'm afraid there is nothing you can do?"
Thinking of this, Teresa blinked her slender eyelashes, and couldn't help sighing softly in her heart.
…
In the cockpit of the air pirate flagship, Chad looked at the well-formed combat airship fleet around him, and his face was full of complacency.
From the very beginning, he was hidden in a special illusion barrier with a large army of 100 airships ~www.readwn.com~.
The 50 empty boats in front of them are just bait.
"Facts have proved that the commander's strategy is indeed useful!"
"Most of the airships used as bait are extremely old and are just eliminated goods, and this hundred-boat fleet is the real main force!"
Chad looked down at Wangxing City, which was already close at hand, through the special observation window, and laughed heartily.
"Hehe, City Master Kongqing, City Master Kongqing, you must be very desperate right now? No matter how hard you struggle, it will be futile."
"Then let this commander give you a fatal blow and turn your city into a sea of flames!"
After speaking, Chad waved his hand and gave the order to the middle-aged communications officer to prepare for the attack.
"Command, all airships are ready to drop bombs, let these trembling ants see the horror of our air robbers!"
