Chapter 887: Operation Bomber

On the other side, in the central tent of the Northland garrison, everyone was busy with the upcoming blocking battle.

"Leave the entire frontal battlefield to the witch?" Hawkface looked surprised after listening to Edith's arrangement, "It's not that I don't believe in their abilities, but there are at least 10,000 people in the various divisions of Dawn, and there are not a few who wear the Divine Punishment Stone, and it is likely that the witch will be in a bitter battle if he faces the enemy head-on." At that time, even if we want to save it, I am afraid it will be beyond our power. ”

"That's what I thought at first," Edith smiled, "and in fact, the idea didn't come from the General Staff, but from His Majesty's Majesty. ”

"Are there any official records?" asked the deputy battalion commander.

"Here," Pearl of the Northland handed him a secret letter marked in red, "and incidentally, the end of the letter grants me the authority of Provisional Commander. ”

According to the rules of the First Army, the pre-battle strategy of any military operation must be recorded on paper and reviewed and signed by staff officers at the corresponding level. If the signatory is His Majesty Roland, it means that any army must be unconditionally enforced.

After confirming that it was correct, Eagle Face immediately stepped forward and saluted, "The Northland garrison guarantees to complete the mission!"

"Very well," Edith said, raising the corners of her mouth, "but remember that your purpose is to deal a devastating blow to the fleeing enemy, and that's the point with the word 'rout'. If the preconditions do not exist, it will be regarded as a failure of the battle, and all the ambush personnel will return to the ladder in the clouds by the same route, and must not meet the enemy without permission - this order must be clearly explained to everyone. ”

"What do you mean...... Retreat?" said Hawkface in surprise, "Doesn't Your Majesty know if his method will work?"

"Who knows what hasn't been tried?" said the Northland Pearl bluntly, "If this method doesn't work, we'll have to think of other methods...... Your Majesty has sent me here precisely as a precaution. ”

"What about the witch?"

"Even if they fail, they won't be in any danger. ”

"Understood, I'm going to prepare, and the classes will be able to leave early tomorrow morning. Hawkface saluted again.

"This operation is codenamed Operation Bomber, and when you are in position, the battle will officially begin. Edith returned the salute, "Go ahead." ”

"Yes!"

Although he didn't know what a bomber meant, Hawkface had a little more confidence in his heart. What His Majesty can call a "machine" must be extraordinary—isn't the steam engine a great example?

Two days later, in the early morning, Lightning finally waited at the camp for his departure instructions.

"Maggie has all the personnel in place, and you are ready to go. The listening sigil in her hand came from Sylvie's voice, "The army of Dawn is gathering in the village, I hope you can catch up." ”

"Rest assured, we'll be there later. The little girl waved at Maisie and the hummingbird, "Come here, we should go!"

In the past two days, she not only checked the map of the ladder in the clouds from the air, but also looked at the general situation of the surrounding area. His Majesty's plan is not complicated, there are a total of six witches as reinforcements, and they are divided into two groups according to the battle plan, one is responsible for ensuring transportation and logistics, and its core ability is Maggie's magic ark. In addition, they were accompanied by Sivir and Lily, the former to ensure that the enemy was detected and the enemy to open fire, and the latter to target the evil plague created by the Church - if the army of Dawn invaded the Old Holy City, it was difficult to guarantee that the Church would not be desperate to release pathogens in the city on a large scale.

The other group is at the heart of the operation.

"Oh!"

"Goo!"

The hummingbird sits in the stand and holds the rods on either side, allowing the magic to flow through the rods. In a short time, the iron frame, which His Majesty called the "Dongfeng", was reduced to about one percent of its original weight along with nine aerial bombs, which was also the carrying limit of Maisie's alienation.

Then the white-haired little girl transformed into a giant beast, lying on top of the bracket, and the cloth belt and rope were fixed by lightning, and the Dongfeng and Maisie suddenly formed a whole.

Since the Hummingbird's abilities are ineffective against living creatures, Maisie carries a weight roughly equal to that of a witch and a portable bomb pylon, allowing her to perform precision strikes in the air for long periods of time as long as the weight loss is maintained.

This is also an improvement made by Roland according to the post-war report after the use of hydrogen balloon bombing tactics to conquer the royal capital.

Compared to balloons, Maisie flies much faster and is more agile in her missions. If the dive bomb is used, the lightning correction process can also be omitted, so that the latter can have sufficient energy for reconnaissance and guidance.

Of course, the magic of the hummingbird could not support the "Dongfeng" flight for a whole day, although the training of the consignment artillery made her magic level increase a lot, but for the large size and incredible weight of the bomb, it is very good to be able to last for half a day. After all, the body, guidance head, and charge of aerial bombs are transported separately.

Fortunately, for the Dawn army that was close at hand, half a day was enough.

"All roads are clear, you can take off, repeat, you can take off!" Lightning pulled down the windshield and jumped into the air.

"Ah...... Here we go again," the hummingbird sighed, covering his forehead.

"Whoa————!"

When Maisie flapped her wide wings, a huge shadow seemed to rise from the ground. The tents of the camp swayed from side to side in the air waves, like a strong wind passing through. Then she redirected and flew towards the foot of Hermes.

Half an hour later, the three of them successfully flew over the old holy city, and easily found the target of this operation - the large force of tens of thousands of people was very eye-catching even from a high altitude. The army looked like an overflowing stream from afar, barely holding its formation, but by the time it reached the city, it was completely dispersed. Countless colored spots slowly wriggled like ants, eating away at the territory of the old holy city little by little.

Lightning did not like the Church at all, and their current calamity could only be described as retribution, but in addition to the believers, there were many innocent people in the city, especially orphans taken by the Church from all over the country, who were still locked up in several monasteries.

They should not be buried here with the old Holy City.

The little girl took a deep breath and continued to raise herself until she felt a little difficult to breathe, then she opened her arms and began to dive along the center line of the "stream" - only in the opposite direction.

The sharp fall made her internal organs seem to move backwards, which should not be pleasant, but there is a kind of galloping pleasure.

Lightning didn't look back, knowing that Maisie would be behind her—years of getting along had made it a seamless fit.

The people and objects on the ground were rapidly expanding, and some of the knights had apparently noticed the dark shadows falling from the sky, and she could even faintly see the horror on their faces.

As the man and beast flew to the middle of the crowd, Lightning jerked to his feet and shouted, "Now, bomb!"

The hummingbird, sitting in the stand, pulled down the activity switch with force.
