Chapter 947: Air Battle
With the huge profit drive, coupled with the real threat of Emperor Shitian, these guys quickly reached an agreement and were willing to join forces against Emperor Shitian.
And at this time, everyone suddenly found that they were facing a new problem, that is, how to deal with Emperor Shitian.
You must know that Emperor Shi Tian did not come with a fleet this time, but secretly used ground troops to sneak attack.
If Emperor Shi Tian had a fleet, then the matter would be simple, hundreds of thousands of warships would rush up and face off directly.
But now it's good, Emperor Shitian's troops unexpectedly carried out a gang jumping battle, and now they are all on the warships of the anti-imperialist alliance, so how should this battle be fought?
You can't destroy the fleet of the Alliance anyway along with Emperor Shitian's troops, right?
If they dare to do this, Scholes will be the first to jump out and turn against him!
Anyway, they are all members of the alliance, and Scholes can't attack them anyway, otherwise he won't be able to explain to the bigwigs behind him when he goes back!
But if they don't shoot down the battleship, then Scholes and they have very few offensive means to choose from, nothing more than to send troops to jump gang battles to help those guys kill all the troops of Emperor Shitian, or drive them out.
Obviously, this is not a particularly good idea, because Emperor Shakti's troops are relatively explosive and quite lethal, and if they send ground troops to fight hard, they will definitely suffer heavy losses.
However, Scholes, the pirates and the students, almost all chose this method.
On the surface, they all look like righteous words, but with a wicked smile in their eyes, it reveals their thoughts.
These guys are simply weasels entering the house, and they are not at ease, and after they drive away Emperor Shitian's troops, I am afraid that they will take advantage of the situation to occupy these warships.
Even if you can't swallow it all, you'll definitely take the opportunity to make a big profit.
In other words, these bad guys had the intention of robbing while the fire was burning from the beginning, so they chose such a stupid way to rescue those who were in trouble.
Not only that, but after they made their decision, they even quarreled over the assignment of rescue targets.
Everyone wanted to grab the biggest and best boats, so they all clamored to go even the big ones, and the small ones were disgusted.
But if they follow their ideas, then there will definitely be no way to completely annihilate the Heavenly Emperor's troops, and it may even be a big deal.
They are also aware of this problem, so they always want to grab the good ships in their own hands and push the bad ones to others.
And none of them are stupid, so naturally they quarrel about it.
It seems that this kind of dispute is natural, but if you look closely at their disapproving looks, you can see that they are arguing, but they are also deliberately rubbing time.
Even Scholes, too, didn't act too anxious.
In addition to patting the chest of the trapped people as a guarantee, they were not in a hurry to send troops immediately.
The reason for this situation is that Scholes and the others are unwilling to withstand the strongest surprise attack of the Emperor Shitian's army.
You must know that Emperor Shitian's troops are equipped with a large number of alchemy weapons, and alchemy weapons have a very big characteristic, that is, they have strong explosive power and weak sustainability.
For example, the Minotaur Lancer, with a 30mm cannon in his hand, when fired wildly, has a lethality comparable to silver.
But the number of bullets they carry is limited, just a few hundred, in the heat of battle, they may not be able to hold out for even ten minutes, and they will be consumed.
And once there are no bullets, then these minotaur lancers will also turn back into bronze-level ordinary heavy armored units, and their combat effectiveness will be reduced dozens of times in an instant!
Even the Iron Wolf is the same, don't look at their flying swords, they are incredibly powerful, but in fact, they consume a lot of mana, and they can't last at all.
In addition, when Emperor Shakti's army participated in the war, he would also use a large number of magic scrolls and alchemy potions to bless himself with various states and make the troops stronger.
But these states also have a duration, the longest is only half an hour, and generally only between five and ten minutes.
When these states disappear, they must be replaced, otherwise the combat effectiveness will be affected.
It was a precious alchemy potion and magic scroll, obviously not infinite, especially in the fierce gang jumping battle, almost all auxiliary spells had to be maintained at all times, otherwise it would be easy to be called out and killed.
So in this case, the alchemy potion and the magic scroll are depleted very quickly, and it is definitely impossible to last too long.
And once Emperor Shitian's troops used up all the ammunition and potions they carried, their combat effectiveness would drop very much.
At this time, if Scholes's reinforcements suddenly appeared again, then they could kill all of Emperor Shakti's troops at a very small cost.
So Scholes and the others promised to support the trapped people, but in fact they were slowly dragging their feet, waiting for Emperor Shakti's troops to show fatigue.
Finally, after another half an hour.
Emperor Shitian's vanguard finally showed a weak follow-up, which was manifested in the slowing down of the attack and greatly reducing the pressure on the defenders.
Although in half an hour, Emperor Shitian's army sank nearly 10,000 warships, the remaining warships were all relatively large guys, and they were more difficult to gnaw for a while.
Scholes and the others quickly discovered this problem, and then they no longer hesitated, and immediately ended the dispute in a hurry, roughly divided the rescue area according to their respective strength and distance, and then officially began to assist.
Scholes's aid was split into two parts, the first of which was air reinforcements from the outside.
They did not do nothing during this half hour, but drove the battleships to surround the attacked fleet and get very close.
After receiving the order for support, Scholes immediately roared on their battleship, and countless air forces were set up in the air.
As an air unit, the flying battleship will naturally have a large number of flying troops on it, they can carry out sneak attacks on the enemy when the battleship is in close combat, and they can also carry out reconnaissance work in peacetime, and even sometimes the battleship needs to be repaired, which is also their job.
It can be said that the flying unit belongs to the standard equipment on the flying battleship and belongs to the indispensable unit.
On the remaining hundreds of thousands of battleships, each of which had hundreds or thousands of flying troops, they were now all taken out in one go and killed the besieging fleet in the middle from all sides.
The number of them exceeds 100 million, even if they are distributed in a space of tens of thousands of miles, they are still very dense, especially when they are vacated together, there is a feeling of dark clouds covering the sun!
The goal of these flying units was not actually to rescue those warships, but to contain Emperor Shitian's dog-headed aluminum bats.
Because behind the flight unit, there are a large number of small flying vehicles, such as flying boats more than ten meters long, or flying monsters that are huge enough to transport personnel.
These are small transport boats on flying warships, and most of the various materials on the warships are transported by them, and they can also be used to transport troops in wartime.
Right now, for example, these thousands of small airships are loaded with ground troops.
They would jump directly onto the besieged battleship, and then join the local defenders to join forces with Emperor Shakti's forces in an effort to annihilate them all at once.
However, these flights are particularly fragile, and there is almost no armed force, once they are intercepted halfway by Emperor Shitian's dog-headed aluminum bat army, it will be a heavy loss.
Therefore, there must be a sufficient number of air forces to cover them in order to ensure that they can safely pass through the empty space in the middle of the fleet.
In fact, this step can be regarded as the right step, after their air force came in, they collided head-on with Emperor Shitian's dog-headed aluminum bat army, and the two sides launched a fierce battle in the battleship group.
The troops on Emperor Shitian's side are slightly inferior in numbers, only equivalent to 1/3 of the opponent, or even less, but their combat effectiveness is not bad at all.
In addition to the main dog-headed aluminum bat, Emperor Shitian's air force also has a large number of other troops, such as Centaur Ji, Yuanci Two-Headed Dragon, and so on.
Moreover, in addition to these regular troops, there are also a large number of flying modules in the air on Emperor Shitian's side.
There are a large number of these flight modules, and the armament is even more diverse.
Some of them have a large number of alchemical weapons installed, and they are used entirely as small flying turrets. The dog-headed aluminum bats that cooperated with the front-line fighting, frantically output various spells in the back, which really caused major damage to the flying troops on the opposite side.
In addition, some of the flight modules have been converted into special altars with a large number of totem poles enshrined on them, and their properties are divided into positive and negative sides.
The positive attribute can provide several special magical blessings to the air units on your side, making their combat effectiveness soar.
The negative attribute is all kinds of weird curses, covering a space of tens or hundreds of miles, as long as the enemy enters it, it will be infected with a bunch of negative spells, and the combat power must be reduced by at least thirty percent, or even more than fifty percent.
Under the advantages of the other, although Emperor Shitian's air force was at a disadvantage in numbers, it was not inferior at all when it really fought.
Of course, there are too many of the two sides, and once they get together, they will immediately fall into a fierce fighting situation, and for a while, no one will be able to free up their hands.
All you can see is a bloody storm in the air, and a large number of air troops are falling from the sky with a wail every moment.
In this case, Scholes's follow-up troop transport fleet was much safer, only a small part of them were successfully attacked by dog-headed aluminum bats, resulting in the destruction of the ship and death, and most of the remaining troops successfully logged on to the battleships that were still holding on.
