Chapter 956: A Day of Fierce Fighting

The fighting between the two sides was extremely fierce, and the casualties were so huge that the war of this magnitude did not last long at all.

In just a day or so, the battle was almost clear.

First of all, on the external air force, tens of millions of flight units were constantly fighting fierce battles in the sky, and as a result, almost half of them were lost in one day.

The reason for such heavy casualties is determined solely by the characteristics of the flight unit.

After all, the flying troops need to fly at high speeds, so they do not have an advantage in terms of weight, and this determines that their defense capabilities, as well as endurance, are much weaker than those of the ground forces.

However, in order to be able to take advantage of the high speed advantage of the flying troops as much as possible to kill and injure the enemy, they often carry powerful alchemy weapons.

Although their weight is relatively small, they can only carry lightweight, powerful disposable alchemy weapons, which are very expensive.

However, the flying units have always been the main force of high speed, and they are often highly valued, and they are also the most effective means of killing and injuring the enemy, so there is really no shortage of such expensive weapons in their hands.

In such a situation, when these flying units with strong lethality and weak defense are forced to fight each other, it is natural and especially prone to casualties.

Often, after a powerful spell, dozens or hundreds of flying troops are shot down.

And in this chaotic battlefield, being shot down often means death, and falling into the sea alive is basically a luxury.

But even if they barely fell into the sea alive and successfully resisted it, the impact of falling into the sea from high altitude was still difficult to ensure that they would survive.

Because the scale of their battle was particularly large, and there were many dead, the corpses fell like rain, and the scarlet blood stained the whole sea.

Such a big movement had already alarmed the fierce sea beasts in the sea, and they had already quietly arrived and waited below for a long time.

Every time a living creature falls, it will quickly be attacked by these ferocious sea beasts.

The already injured flying troops, their combat effectiveness in the sea has dropped several times, how can they resist the sea beasts rushing from all directions?

Therefore, most of the flying troops who barely survived died tragically in the mouths of these sea beasts.

Only a very lucky few escaped.

And most of them are Emperor Shitian's troops, because Emperor Shitian cherishes his subordinates more and has set up a special rescue force, which will take the initiative to rescue those who fall into the water, and if you are lucky, you can snatch it back from the mouth of the sea beast.

But most people are still unlucky, from the time they launched the distress signal to the time when the support came, it was too difficult, because there were really too many fierce sea beasts in the sea.

Emperor Shi Tian watched from a distance, and his heart was more uncomfortable when he saw the troops he had worked so hard to cultivate suffer such casualties.

In fact, if he was willing to use the Void Dragon's teleportation ability, then he could still save many flying troops.

But the problem is that the Void Dragon in Emperor Shitian's hands is not enough after all, and it is not enough to support the army, so there is no spare energy to help the air force anymore.

Although the value of space is higher than that of the army, but helplessly, the army really plays the leading role in this battle, and the air force is playing cover.

If the army is allowed to fight fiercely in the battleship without sufficient supplies and personnel supply, it will not only be a matter of heavy casualties, but it is likely to lose the entire battleship.

And once the opponent controls the flying battleship, they will immediately activate the various alchemical weapons on the battleship, and then they can carry out large-scale slaughter of the surrounding flying troops.

So in general, at least in this campaign, the importance of the army is greater than that of the air force, and Emperor Shi Tian can only endure the sacrifice of some air force units to ensure the absolute victory of the army.

However, fortunately, Emperor Shi Tian's side was well prepared, and there were a lot of response and medical resources, so although it seemed that the number of battle losses was relatively large, even reaching more than half, in fact, not many were killed on the spot, not even 12 out of 12, most of them were injured and rescued.

And among these guys who died in battle, there were only a few who were killed on the spot, and most of them fell to death on the water or were bitten to death by sea beasts.

In short, the battle of the air force ended in defeat for both sides, and Emperor Shi Tiandi's losses were less, but at least from the scene, the two sides were evenly matched, and they both retained a lot of combat effectiveness, but no one was willing to throw it in again.

However, when the air battle was stalemate, on the various battlefields inside the flying battleship, Emperor Shitian's side won a big victory, and in the day-long meat grinding battle, Emperor Shitian's side suffered very few losses, only a large number of summoning troops were lost.

But the pirate side is different, one by one, as if soy sauce is added, little by little, and then consumed.

Throughout, the pirate leaders had fantasized about the news of victory, and now the commander always told them that victory was in sight, and that a few more reinforcements would be enough.

As a result, reinforcements kept being sent, but victory was still far away.

It wasn't until after a day of hard fighting that these pirate leaders suddenly found that their mobile forces had been exhausted.

Even some pirate leaders were forced to send their own personal guards to recover their losses.

What's more, even the flight units that came back to rest and recuperate were sent by the army.

The flying phantom beast troops actually have strong land combat capabilities, and they can be used to attack fortifications at critical moments, but they are definitely not as good as professional assault troops.

But at this time, when you can win if you fight, and if you don't fight, you will lose everything, these red-eyed pirates can't care so much.

And the result is naturally that there is no change, and those flying battleships on the central battlefield are like bottomless black holes, constantly devouring their forces.

No matter how many people they send in, there will never be enough to fill.

It wasn't until these pirates couldn't send reinforcements anymore that they suddenly realized that they were likely to fall for Emperor Shakti!

These flying battleships are not easy to get at your fingertips, but deadly traps!

But at this time, it is obvious that it is too late, too late, too late!

At this time, in Scholes's command ship, many people with heads and faces gathered in the conference room to hold a meeting through remote video.

The battle had reached this point, and everyone had suffered heavy losses, so they all had a deep sense of frustration on their faces, and they all turned pale and gritted their teeth.

Some people even kept smashing their heads on the table, with a look of remorse on their faces.

Even some veteran pirate kings, and even the elites among the students, have no manners and demeanor at this time, and their eyes are red, just like gamblers who have lost their bets.

Even Scholes, the battle-hardened generalissimo, doesn't know how many ups and downs he has experienced, and he has always been known for his calmness, but at this time he was full of cold sweat.

Because he also participated in this battle, Scholes also had the intention of picking up bargains, and sent his henchmen to support a 'friendly army'.

And the reason why he is willing to support this friendly army is naturally not because of how good the friendship between the two sides is, but because he has a crush on other people's Legendary-class ships!

He planned to take the opportunity to take back the other party's legendary treasure, so that he could completely make up for his losses, and even earn some money.

But the result was good, and almost all of the elite troops in Scholes's hands calculated at 100,000 were smashed in, and each time they were sent in thousands of thousands, and even 20,000 people were directly dispatched in many cases.

Scholes always thought he was going to win, but the message was always that he was asking for more reinforcements.

Scholes didn't see anything unusual at the beginning, but then he felt a little wrong, but he couldn't let go of this legendary battleship, especially since he had already put in a lot of energy at that time, and he felt that if he didn't take this battleship, he would lose so many people in vain, which was really a big loss.

In addition, the commander of the front line kept fooling him, telling him that if he had a little more difficulty, he could win.

Then Scholes had a hot head and rushed into it without hesitation, and even finally sent the Praetorian Guards around him, the most elite troops built with a lot of money, and the lowest silver-level warriors.

As a result, more than an hour has passed, and no news has come from again.

You know, according to Scholes's orders to his subordinates, the front-line commander must report to him every 15 minutes.

Even if the commander is not available, the adjutant must perform this duty, in short, he must maintain contact with the rear to avoid accidents.

And if contact is cut off, the future will assume that there is an attack in front of you, and you will take action instead.

So this is a very serious matter, unless there is a real accident, the commander of the front line does not dare to break this rule easily.

Obviously, this rule has really been broken.

Scholes was naturally very nervous, and hurriedly sent one magic communication after another, but the other side just didn't respond.

In desperation, Scholes sent someone to check on the situation.

But the teleportation array is indeed good, and it can send people over every time, but the people in the past have never returned.

After sending five people in a row, Scholes had no choice but to stop the suicide.

At the same time, he finally realized that this time he was probably in the hands of Emperor Shitian!

If most of the mobile forces in your hands are buried inside the flying battleship, then everyone else must be in this situation as well.

And if there are not enough mobile forces on the flying battleship to defend, hehe, it is simply equivalent to a super fat meat without defense!
