The hot air balloon flew at an altitude of more than 2,000 meters, which is the distance measured by the vertical flight of lightning. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

As soon as she looked up, she could see the clouds close at hand, like loose clumps of cotton, but to actually touch it, she would have to fly up a few hundred meters or so.

The entire hot air balloon is painted with blue and white patches of color, and from a distance it looks exactly like the sky. And he also wore camouflage clothing, even the same is true of "Dongfeng No. 1". According to His Highness's request, this surprise attack should be sudden and covert, so the First Army disembarked before reaching the docks of Silverlight City and walked to the back of a nearby mountain range.

Under Sylvie's watch, the team's course of action avoided all eyes and went unnoticed from start to finish. After the camp was set up, the next day the Yuanwang slowly lifted into the air and began to carry out the throwing mission.

Counting the week spent on the road, today happens to be the beginning of mid-autumn.

The white shadow flying in front of the balloon is none other than Maisie, and due to the difficulty of observation in the gondola, she takes on the task of guiding and scouting. Transformed into a white-tailed goshawk, she can quickly distinguish the road connecting the town and the carriage running on it, even at high altitude - in this regard, Hawkeye is much better than a lookout glass.

Fortunately, the other party couldn't correct the bomb landing point, lightning thought to himself, otherwise he really had nothing to do.

"Are you tired?" asked Anna, leaning on the side of the hanging basket, "Come in and rest, there will be no devils here anyway." ”

The little girl shook her head, "I can fly all day at this speed." ”

"Aren't you a little nervous?" Wendy leaned over as well.

"No," she pouted, "I've practiced it many times, and besides, the palace is so big, it's impossible to smash it." ”

"Really?" Wendy smiled, "Anyway, don't be pushy, Your Highness said that safety comes first." And...... It's not your fault what happened when you went to investigate the devil's camp. ”

"What, I ......"

The other party said in a gentle tone, "Anyone can see your frustration these days, but you are not afraid of fighting, but you are not good at fighting, and if I am on it, I may not be able to do better than you." ”

"Indeed, most witches do not possess the reflexes and skills that most witches possess," Anna reassured, "you might as well come in and rest for a while, it will take a lot of magic to adjust the bomb drop later." ”

Seeing that both of them said this, the lightning whispered from his nose and flew into the hanging basket with his head drooping. Before he landed, he was hugged by Wendy, "No one will blame you, so you don't need to blame yourself, you know?"

"Hmmm......"

......

After a morning of flying, Maisie flapped her wings and returned to the Lookout, reporting to the trio, "The Grey Keep King is just ahead, and we're almost there." ”

Lightning flew out of the gondola and raised the lookout glass—as His Highness Roland had said, the majestic walls of the royal capital were clearly visible even from high in the air, and it was like a thin cyan line that crookedly traced the extent of the city. In the center of the gray patch, the white spot the size of a fingernail stands out.

According to the plan, they should have dropped the leaflets first, and then the Dongfeng No. 1. However, several test throws found that it was impossible to control the direction of the paper falling at an altitude of 2,000 meters, even if heavy objects were added. If you reduce the altitude of the airdrop, it is easy to be spotted by people, after all, the huge size of the Yuanwang and the continuous falling of paper in the sky, it is difficult to hide itself under the watchful eyes of everyone.

Therefore, His Royal Highness finally canceled the leaflet part and handed it to Tasa to spread the word, and they only had to drop the bomb on the palace.

Wendy manipulated the air current, so that the basket hung firmly above the royal capital.

"Are you ready?"

"Pull up the valve," Lightning nodded.

Then she heard only a buzzing sound, and the heavy body had broken away from the gondola and fell straight down. Due to the sudden loss of weight, the balloon was jerked upwards for a while.

For the next steps, she is already ripe.

The parachute at the tail end of the Dongfeng 1 was propped open by the air current, and the lightning quickly caught up with the bomb and began to correct its trajectory little by little.

The royal capital is no stranger to the Mutual Aid witches, who spent months hiding in the city's slums on their journey to the wilderness in search of the sacred mountain. One is to collect food, and the other is to recruit new blood, and it is during this time that Zoroa and Echo joined the Mutual Aid Society. Although Lightning had not experienced any of this, he had often heard them mention that compared to other cities, the royal capital was very strict in its hunting for witches, and that witches were executed almost every month in the stepped squares of the outer city. Therefore, they stayed here for the shortest time, because for every day they stayed, they had to bear the pain of the loss of a sister.

Lightning didn't have any affection for the bustling capital, and if she could throw a bomb on Tifeco's head and end his rule once and for all, she would be more than happy to do so, and replace Roland with the Greykeep Kingdom, none of these tragedies would happen, right?

She now has a chance to right her wrongs.

The wind was whistling in his ears, the scene on the ground was constantly expanding, and the details of the royal palace in the inner city were revealed little by little.

The palace architecture was much larger than the low-rise houses inhabited by the commoners—its main body consisted of a domed hall, a banquet tower, and a castle with a high tower, and other auxiliary houses such as stables, barracks, and warehouses. Considering that the castle has steep walls and a complex roof structure, it is not easy to trigger the fuse, and His Royal Highness finally chose the royal palace hall as the target of attack.

With a sharp drop in altitude, the parachute quickly reached the disengagement point. Lightning pulls up the trap to disengage the canopy from its body, and at the same time picks it up and climbs up quickly.

Before leaving, His Royal Highness the Prince repeatedly told her that she must rise to a safe enough position before the bomb lands, and never look back to see the explosion, but the little girl still couldn't suppress her curiosity and couldn't help but lower her head-

I saw a dazzling flash of light light on the top of the hall and rapidly expand.

The incandescent glow turned bright orange-red, then disappeared into the billowing smoke for less than a breath, and then a deafening explosion suddenly exploded in her ears, almost throwing her off balance.

Lightning hadn't seen the battlefield roaring with artillery, but compared to the terrifying weapons that fired iron balls, the loud noise emitted by Dongfeng No. 1 was ten times louder than all of them combined!

Smoke erupted violently from the pillars and windows around the temple, engulfing the surrounding gardens and corridors. After a while, several cracks appeared in the circular vault, centered on the bomb landing point.

The lightning couldn't help but stop, staring with bated breath at the last moment of the temple.

These black lines were like wanton ink, and in an instant they covered the entire roof, and then the roof could no longer support itself, and collapsed, raising a thicker cloud of smoke.

Under the astonishing power of Dongfeng No. 1, the palace hall collapsed. (To be continued.) )
