call out-
A whistling sound swept past my side; it was the sound of a metal bullet compressing the air at terrifying speed.
Faced with these naval cannons, ordinary people would probably only see the flash of the muzzle before the explosion hits their face.
However, the pristine white biplane seemed to possess a life of its own, soaring up and down, always managing to deflect at the last second before the shells hit, precisely avoiding every fatal trajectory.
Nausicaä gripped the handles on either side of the wing tightly, her body supported by a sturdy leather strap connected to the center of the handles, almost lying flat on the streamlined aircraft.
This posture minimizes wind resistance and allows her to make the most subtle movements.
Another shell came flying, but she simply shifted her weight slightly, and the angle of attack of her flight wing changed slightly.
call!
The shell grazed the wingtip, causing the fuselage to sway slightly before regaining its balance.
The wind had already warned her of the approaching danger.
This is also why she prefers hang gliders to gunships; gunships rely on engine power to tear through the wind, while hang gliders dance with the wind, riding every gust of air.
Inside the Dorok Guardian warship, the soldiers on the observation platform were sweating profusely with anxiety.
"It's just a small hang glider! How many more shells are you going to waste?!"
The observer growled into the communicator, his eyes fixed on the white dot that nimbly weaved through the barrage of bullets.
They had spotted the rapidly approaching white dot long ago and had been trying to shoot it down from the beginning, but all their shelling was like punching the air.
The artillery team commander was equally furious. "Who knows what's going on! The calculated lead was completely useless; that thing—it wasn't flying along a normal trajectory at all!"
To the gunners, the flying wing was like a weightless feather, drifting wherever the wind blew—how were they supposed to aim?
"Keep firing! Switch to anti-aircraft machine guns!"
As the order came from the Bridge, the machine gunners of the air force wearing white helmets started moving, and the five machine gun turrets on the starboard side of the warship simultaneously locked onto the white figure. Boom boom boom boom boom!
The deafening roar of the machine guns was deafening. They weren't operating Storm Rifle or light machine guns; these massive machines mounted on the warship were heavy anti-aircraft machine guns loaded with 13mm steel-core armor-piercing rounds.
Five to ten shots are enough to "smash" through the wing of a large spaceship. If you're lucky enough to hit the ammunition depot or fuel tank, a single shot can cause a catastrophic explosion.
Five purple chains of light, trailed by tracer bullets, lashed out at Nausicaä like whips, blocking all her paths of movement.
Under normal circumstances, a flying wing mainly relies on capturing updrafts to gain altitude and then glide smoothly over long distances, just like a real bird.
Its plasma engine is primarily used to assist in climbing and provide brief acceleration.
But that doesn't mean it can't be used for extreme bursts of speed, as long as the driver fully exposed to the raging airflow can withstand it.
Clearly, Nausicaä can hold on.
Just as the machine gunners were bracing themselves to see the white glider torn apart by a hail of bullets, and even began to secretly mock the artillery's incompetence—
The plasma thrusters at the tail of the white flight wing suddenly emitted a burst of blue light, and the length of the exhaust plume instantly more than doubled!
The powerful thrust propelled the flight speed up dramatically, allowing it to pass directly between several intersecting purple light chains!
The bullet belts grazed the wingtips and lashed out at each other not far behind her.
Nausicaä, who was perched on the flight wing, didn't even tremble the slightest bit in the fingers gripping the control stick.
If the enemy had used their anti-aircraft machine guns earlier, there might have been time to readjust the angle and provide fire support.
However, because the glider took off from the temporary camp at a very short distance, coupled with her incredible evasive maneuvers and final sprint, she was now directly above the guardian warship.
The warship's deck almost filled her field of vision; she could see figures moving behind the Bridge portholes, and a cannonball!
To prevent its old rival, which also possesses vertical takeoff and landing capabilities, from launching a surprise attack from above, the Tolmekia " Corvette-class Destroyer " mounted multiple small-caliber anti-aircraft guns on its top.
Nausicaä was unaware of this design, and by the time she spotted the cannons, it was too late to maneuver.
In a flash, Nausicaä made her decision.
She abruptly released the handrails, letting the hang glider continue its forward momentum, while her body was briefly suspended in the air due to wind resistance.
At the same time, she reached down with her right hand and snatched the weapon pack that was originally fixed next to the footstool.
Immediately afterwards, she crossed her arms in front of her forehead.
Boom!
Thick smoke and flames exploded above the warship, and the pilotless glider wobbled and plummeted into the distance.
The Dorok soldiers on the Bridge below almost cheered; that incredibly annoying little flying insect was finally gone!
However, before their smiles could fully bloom, they saw golden light emerge from the smoke and dust of the explosion.
Immediately afterwards, a blue figure with huge golden wings on its back glided out from the dissipating smoke!
She was unharmed, her blue robes fluttering in the wind, her rifle and longsword already slung over her back.
The Dorok monks on the Bridge were stunned.
Some people instinctively gaped open, some dropped their observation instruments, and others unconsciously began reciting ancient scriptures. " Blue-Clad One with wings has descended upon the world; He will guide humanity to its end—"
Hearing his comrade's exclamation, the soldier on observation duty nearby also looked up sharply. When he saw the figure in the air, a chill ran from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.
"Ah----ah ah----blue, blue----"
" The Blue-Clad One!" another monk who had witnessed the whole thing finally screamed in despair, "It's the Blue-Clad One!!! The legend is true!!!"
In the ancient Prophecy brought by the Holy Emperor, one of the many signs symbolizing the coming of the end times—a blue-clad messenger with wings on his back—will bring about the end and judgment.
At this moment, the legend has come to life in such a concrete and shocking way.
Nausicaä couldn't hear the chaotic shouts; all her attention was focused on the rapidly approaching target.
As the altitude rapidly decreased, the Bridge command tower, several meters above the main deck and filled with observation windows, came into close view.
She retracted her light wings, and her descent speed suddenly increased.
Just before she was about to crash into the heavy porthole of the Bridge, she curled up her body and wings at the same time to reduce the impact area and increase the force of the impact.
Whoosh!
The sturdy composite glass porthole shattered with a crash, and the blue figure crashed into the Bridge, deftly performing a somersault to dissipate the impact before landing steadily on one knee.
The golden wings of light slowly closed behind her, turning into specks of light and dissipating.
A strong gust of air rushed in through the broken windows, sending papers and documents flying everywhere inside the Bridge.
Nausicaä breathed a slight sigh of relief; breaking through the firepower blockade had put her under immense pressure.
At this moment, the monks and soldiers nearby finally realized what was happening.
"Intruders!!!"
