One after another, figures broke through the bottom of the clouds and plummeted rapidly towards the giant steel ship below.
The intense acceleration made them feel dizzy, and the strong wind assaulted their senses.
But everyone involved in this parachute jump was an elite force. No one showed any fear despite the freefall; everyone was silently calculating their altitude and adjusting their descent posture.
During the descent, a fireball exploded in the night sky to the side. A coalition gunboat tasked with a feint attack was finally hit by a barrage of anti-aircraft fire and plummeted toward the City of Pejite, trailing a long trail of flame.
The soldiers felt a pang of anxiety, but they couldn't stop. They could only silently pray for the unknown pilot before focusing their attention on their impending destination.
As they passed through the sparse barrage of fire drawn away by the lives of friendly gunboats, and until the warship's expansive upper deck rapidly magnified in their field of vision, revealing almost the fine details of its structure, dozens of pairs of golden wings simultaneously unfurled in the night sky!
The " Aspects of the Crucible: Wings " supported the raging airflow, stopping their fall at the last moment.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The sound of impact echoed across the top armor plate as dozens of Blessed Warrior landed in a half-crouching, weight-absorbing position, the deck reverberating beneath their feet.
The soldiers looked up and around, and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement. The deck beneath their feet was so wide that Horseclaw could run across it, and the towering Bridge and turrets were like steel mountains.
This made them realize what a true behemoth was; even if the Valley of the Wind castle were magnified four times, it would still barely match the size of this warship!
"Enemy attack! Upper deck!" A sharp alarm blared out instantly, and several horrified faces of Dorok monks flashed past the observation window.
"Action!"
Nausicaä had already charged ahead, followed by Por, Kamlin, and Wawar, each leading their own ten-man squads.
Rushing to the nearest hatch, the girl's slightly rounded thighs, with an unexpectedly large force and a sonic boom, slammed into the center of the hatch!
boom!!!
With a deafening roar, the Ceramic Steel hatch twisted and Transfiguration around the point of impact, then detached from the frame and slammed heavily against the wall of the passageway behind it.
The Blessed Warrior following behind all twitched at the corners of their eyes and subconsciously swallowed.
Her Highness's power is growing increasingly terrifying; I wonder which man will be fortunate enough to "enjoy" it in the future.
The hatch was wide open, and intrusion alarm lights were flashing wildly in the channel.
The first to react, the Dorok monks and Gore's guards, had already assembled. The muzzles of their automatic rifles flashed at the corner of the passage, creating a deadly trap with nowhere to hide. Their firepower density far exceeded that of the original Insect Claw Sand Bandit Group.
But now, the Blessed Warrior are no longer the greenhorn recruits they once were.
Amidst the clanging of gunfire, to the soldiers' astonishment, the enemy charged forward relentlessly despite their barrage of fire!
The Ohmu Shell Scimitar drew a chilling arc of light, the Ceramic Steel Longsword pierced the air, and the Order's Blade, composed of energy, was unstoppable. Several sharp-edged golden " Rings of Light " were also hurled out, spinning and flying into the enemy ranks.
Blood spurted, limbs were severed, and flesh flew everywhere. The first wave of dozens of soldiers who rushed up to try to stop them were instantly killed. The overwhelming power of the "super soldier" over ordinary people was evident at this moment.
"According to plan, split up and proceed." Mu En's voice was transmitted simultaneously to the minds of the four team leaders through the Blessing Link; he would personally serve as the commander of this battle.
The four teams had clearly defined roles. Nausicaä was to find the Master Kabo, because if anyone else had faced that old man, they would likely have been in mortal danger.
Kamlin was tasked with heading to the Bridge to seize the "brain" of the giant ship, while Por and Wawar were responsible for clearing out the firing positions on each deck, capturing the ammunition depot, and ensuring the warship was disarmed.
The ultimate goal is to capture the warship intact, which is crucial to future plans.
From Mu En's perspective, the four squads were extremely efficient in combat.
Since learning the " Rings of Light " Incantations, Por has almost abandoned other methods of attack.
With a wave of his hands, golden rings flew out, sometimes slicing straight through, sometimes circling in arcs, and even combining Transfiguration to unleash spiraling Rings of Light that pierced through the walls of several compartments, shredding enemies hiding behind cover along with the cover itself.
Wawar, however, still cherished his scimitar made from the Ohmu Shell, which had been with him for many years. He silently cast " Erdtree's Protection " on himself and then led the charge.
With each flash of the blade, an enemy's throat would splatter with blood; thanks to his terrifying reflexes, he could dodge or even slice bullets at close range.
The other Blessed Warrior, including Kamlin, adopted a more balanced and practical fighting style.
First, buff yourself with " Erdtree's Protection " to improve your status, then raise " Shield of Immutability " to defend against stray bullets and sneak attacks. With one hand, condense " Order's Blade " for precise mid-range kills, while with the other hand, always have the Golden Power Hammer ready to deal with heavy hatches or cover.
This is the most efficient combat method summarized from practical experience in Yupa.
Wherever the three squads went, resistance quickly crumbled, and almost all the enemies were killed in a single encounter. At this point, they could not afford to be merciful.
Only Nausicaä's situation left Mu En somewhat puzzled.
It wasn't because she encountered any difficulties, but because she was simply too powerful.
This petite girl had just used her sheer physical strength to kick the heavy Ceramic Steel door, which even artillery fire could only dent, deep into the bulkhead.
In other words, the force of that kick far exceeded the destructive power of a large-caliber high-explosive bomb.
Now, Nausicaä appears to ordinary people as if she teleports. This high speed is not the short burst she used when dealing with Master Kabo, but her normal movement speed at this moment!
No additional Incantations or weapons are needed; simply charging in recklessly will result in "death upon being grazed or struck by a stray bone."
Wherever it passed, whether it was a heavy isolation door, a group of soldiers, or a makeshift machine gun position, everything was utterly destroyed by the terrifying physical impact.
Such power can no longer be described as human, nor can it be explained as a " Knight Level Blessed ".
Mu En realized that her previous assumptions about the " Blessed's hierarchy" were flawed.
Based on the varying abilities of the Erdtree's citizens, the skill ceiling and floor for "Knights" differ far more significantly than those for " Blessed " and " Golden Folk."
It needs to be big.
Nausicaä, who has mastered and resonated with the Power of the Crucible, is naturally far superior to someone like the insignificant Godrick Knight.
She has long since surpassed the normal Knight Level and is now a powerful being comparable to the sixteen Crucible Knight in the Lands Between.
Therefore, the advance of the battlefront was faster than planned, and it could be said that from the moment she landed, the warship was already hers.
"The passage ahead leads downwards; that Dorok Master is down there."
Although unable to sense the other party, Mu En still managed to pinpoint Master Kabo's location. He only needed to pay close attention to the area where the Golden Rune used for detection were being consumed at an abnormally high rate.
Ahead lay a wide staircase leading to the next floor, but a dense mass of Dorok monks, who had rushed in upon hearing the alarm, blocked the way, their gun barrels pointing out in a forest.
Nausicaä charged forward relentlessly, and just as she was about to make contact with the enemy, she stomped down heavily with her right foot!
Thump!!!
Fan-shaped cracks spread with the shockwave, causing the entire staircase and nearby bulkheads to shake violently. The monks lost their footing, cried out, and fell in droves, their formation thrown into chaos.
The girl lightly touched the railing with her toes, darted past the chaotic enemy horde, and in a few leaps, she had already crossed the stairs and stepped into the wider, more luxuriously decorated middle-level bridge below.
Directly ahead, the door to a huge command center with panoramic observation windows was open.
The Dorok Master sat cross-legged in the main seat, accompanied only by a pale-faced Dorok Monk who was trying to remain calm.
Nausicaä flashed into the command room, her toes tapping the heavy conference table, causing it to shatter.
Amidst the flying sawdust, she shot towards Master Kabo like an arrow released from a bow.
The girl's clear golden eyes were no longer filled with hesitation, only coldness remained.
"I'm sorry, I can't let you continue doing evil!"
Since they won't listen to repeated advice, there's no need to try anymore.
Her slender, pink fist condensed a terrifying golden aura, like a miniature sun; every punch was a killing blow!
However, the punch was never thrown.
Because the old man in front of them had already stopped breathing.
"He's... dead?"
