Swish——
With an almost inaudible whistling sound, the iron-gray Spindle-shaped Object hit the square full of students at extremely fast speeds.
And then... it was gone.
Um?
Melissa looked in that direction with some confusion. There was a steam locomotive that was behind the times but still full of mechanical charm. Most of them didn't know what happened. A few students also noticed the object falling from the sky, but the gray shadow was gone.
Lily also noticed this. She first frowned and looked around, her eyes stopped on a strange oval shadow, and then she raised her head and looked at the sky as if she had some kind of sense.
Backlund In the sky that was shrouded in light haze, but overall much brighter than last autumn, giant objects moved slowly. They floated into the sky above the city from the north in a dense but spaced formation. The nearest one was almost above the two of them, and the shadow was caused by it blocking the sunlight.
Its main body is an oval airbag composed of solid cloth and an alloy frame. It is painted dark brown and has diagonal red, white and yellow logos painted on it. A box that is less eye-catching than the main body hangs below. There are fast-rotating propellers on the rear and sides. Thick and short guns protrude from openings everywhere, pointing to the ground. There is also a huge throwing port directly below the box.
At this time, another spindle-shaped iron-gray object appeared from the opening that was larger than a human.
Lily's face instantly turned pale.
As a senior student of Department of Mechanical Engineering, she could recognize that this was the most advanced airship, and she could also guess what the object was about to be thrown out.
That was a bomb that could kill all the students in the square as long as it landed!
"Everyone, leave the square immediately!"
She shouted loudly without hesitation, and when the students in the square in front looked at her curiously, she pointed to the sky:
"Feysac's airship!"
Afterwards, she did not continue to rush into the square to drive away the people who still didn't know what was going on. Instead, she hugged Melissa, whose eyes were fixed on the sky with a somewhat dull expression, and hid at the bottom of the thick Intis Sycamore Tree tree beside the road.
Because she noticed from the corner of her eye that the bomb under the airship had shaken out of its restraints and was about to hit the school again.
Whether it is a teaching building or a laboratory, it is not safe at this time and may become the target of attacks by the airships overhead. Only roadside decorative trees with few people and less conspicuous ones will be let go by the enemy because of their low value... Lily While thinking calmly in his heart, he threw Melissa down under the strong tree trunk. He curled up and lay on top of her. He covered his ears, closed his eyes, and prayed to Goddess.
At this moment, she could only feel her heavy and rapid breathing and Melissa's trembling body underneath her.
The expected explosions, tremors on the ground, and exclamations from the crowd did not occur.
Lily Granger released his hands covering his ears in confusion, opened his eyes, and looked at the sky.
The huge airship painted with the Fosac Tricolor Flag logo was still floating above the school, its ferocious muzzle pointed at the ground, and the terrifying bomb hung below the throwing port, as if it was about to be dropped at any time.
But its propellers had stopped rotating and seemed to be tightly bound by some invisible ropes; there were traces of tightening on the surface of its airbag, as if it was being grasped by a giant transparent hand.
The heavy bomb had clearly detached from the hook, but it had been "adhering" tightly to the bottom of the metal box. It was constantly swaying with the high-altitude wind. Near the throwing port, soldiers in neat military uniforms could be seen shouting something in a panic.
The next second, the bomb exploded in the air.
A fireball larger than the airship's airbag appeared under the box, instantly covering the war machine fixed in the air. The metal deformed under the shock wave, and the black machine guns and artillery were Distortion by the high temperature. Although it had been treated with fire protection, the still fragile airbag had gaps one after another, and the strong alloy frame could no longer support its elegant streamlined shape.
As the fireball turned from bright to dark and then turned into black smoke, it continued to rise. The rag doll-like airship fell downwards with countless metal fragments and struggling human bodies.
At this time, the huge roar reached the ground, causing the students who were reminded by Lily but still didn't know what happened to panic. Some of them stared blankly at the huge burning object falling towards them, and some screamed and rushed into the nearby teaching building. Some even hugged the wheels of the steam locomotive tightly and closed their eyes, seeming to have resigned themselves to their fate.
However, these hugely destructive debris did not fall into the campus. They smashed into circles of rippling water less than a hundred meters away from the ground, and disappeared from everyone's sight with the slight sound of glass breaking.
It looks as if there is a transparent glass curtain wall above the head that leads to other worlds, blocking all the fragments of the airship.
This is...Goddess is protecting us?
Lily stared blankly at the sky. The unscientific scene made her mind go blank, leaving only her praise for Goddess.
But she soon woke up, and her eyes rested on other airships of the same shape. They seemed to have discovered something. The formation began to gather and flew over the campus, with their muzzles all pointing in this direction.
Bang——
Amidst the huge metal collision, their propellers were also jammed.
"Unexpectedly, the war was not initiated by the Loen Kingdom... While they were preparing for the war, other countries also smelled the danger and responded in the same way. Feysac Empire even preemptively launched a surprise attack, targeting Loen's capital - Backlund..."
Looking at the airship covering the sky and the sun, Angel sighed in a low voice.
Beside her, countless invisible threads stretched out, trying to bind the propellers of the airships, causing them to lose power while passing Black Flame, igniting the ammunition and bombs inside, and destroying these intruders.
Even though she objectively did not hope that Loen led by George III could gain an advantage in the war in order to perform the "Black Emperor" ceremony, but it was Feysac Empire who initiated the war, and their first shot was aimed at civilians.
Sensing that all the wreckage of the first airship shot down by her fell into "Mirror World", she put away the invisible mirror that was extremely consuming Spirituality, and focused all her energy on the other airships above her head.
Under her control, the propellers of these airships were bound by strong silk threads one after another, and some were directly cut off by lines with "precision" and cutting capabilities, completely losing their ability to move.
Clusters of Black Flame also spread along the silk thread at an extremely fast speed. Against the background of the blue sky, a strange black grid appeared, like a spider web covering the sky above Backlund Technical University.
At this moment, on the airship in the center of the Feysac army formation, red and black, blood and rust intertwined light flashed, instantly covering all the airships approaching, connecting them one by one.
In an instant, those deadly invisible threads left the surface of the airship as if they were being repelled, left the propeller shaft, and left the warehouse full of shells and bombs.
And the diseases that had appeared near them and were quietly entering the box with the air, eroding the soldiers' bodies, were also driven away by this force.
It's the connection of "Iron-Blooded Knight"... No, that goes a step further. It can not only concentrate the strength of the entire team, but also jointly build defense, so that even the weakest part can show the same defense as the collective... That is the power of "War Bishop"!
If Angel realized something, she put away the silk thread that would not have much effect, took out "Angelica's Edge" from Mirror World, let the high-temperature flames cover the sword body, and let the surging fighting spirit flow into her body.
Feeling the burning heat in his body, Angel took a deep breath, his figure shattered like a mirror, followed Mirror Tunnel into the air, and appeared from the porthole of an airship.
She did not enter the airship, but appeared outside the porthole, attached to the transparent glass window with the help of invisible threads.
On the other side of the glass, several tall Feysac soldiers were manipulating artillery. The changing light and shadow made them look out the window involuntarily.
A young woman with a round face was smiling at them. Her long, jet-black hair was fluttering in the wind, but there was no smile in her eyes.
The next second, the Straight Sword in the woman's hand flashed with blue-purple flames. A hundred-meter-long flame stream instantly penetrated the thick armor, cutting the entire metal box from the main body of the airship. All objects inside burned at high temperature, Distortion, and then a violent explosion occurred.
Boom——
In the flames, the figure of Angel followed the shock wave and left the airship that was filled with only death and destruction. With the help of "Feather Fall", it floated as if it had no weight and moved towards another airship.
Since group damage will be resisted by "connection", she will deal with it one by one!
But as he left the burning airship, his field of vision became wider, and Angel's heart that was burning with fighting spirit slowly cooled down.
In her sight, countless airships with dark brown background and red, white and yellow markings were coming from the north one after another. The dense air bags covered the sky and the sun, making it impossible for her to count the specific number for a while.
Even if she cuts them off one by one, she will not be able to cut down so many pieces even if she runs out of Spirituality...
Frustration almost filled Angel's heart. She held "Angelica's Edge" tightly and encouraged herself. Various thoughts flashed through her mind, assessing how to deal with these airships with less effort.
At this moment, there was movement in Saint Wind Cathedral and other places in the city. Giant blades composed of blue and black winds flew into the air, aiming directly at Feysac's airship.
Three Great Churches also reacted!
The war that is about to engulf North Continent begins with Backlund as the focus.
