9. Holidays (XVIII)
A hail of bullets.
It's a word that is as familiar to the Knights of the Golden Fleece who manage countless battlefields like their own backyards, and the warriors who have long been on the front lines have long known how to deal with the jungle of blades and axes, and even calmly avoid the magic arrows that add tracking definitions.
But the ugly bulging strange things of the Zeppelin still surprised the knights, and the concept of "barrage" was deeply imprinted in their brains, and then they were smashed to pieces along with the trunk of the braincase, falling into the ocean, and turning into algae bait.
The Type 730 7-barreled 30mm close-in rapid-fire gun rained disaster on the Golden Fleece Knights at a rate of 1,200 rounds per minute, and the white phosphorus bombs with radio proximity fuses and the AHEAD rounds with 152 cylindrical projectiles exploded in the air, whether they were white phosphorus fragments or shotguns - the scythes of death for the knights closest to them. The Poitu Knight, who was a little slower to react, was splashed with white phosphorus before he could scream, and the shrapnel storm smashed him and his mount into a mess of charred flesh, dragging the yellow-green smoke of white phosphorus burning straight into the sea.
"Spread out!Distance yourself from enemy ships!!"
Unfolding the "Moving Wall" and blocking the deadly rain of bullets with an invisible force field, Simon endured the pain of the impact all over his body and shouted orders to his surviving companions. Also aware of the impossibility of continuing the frontal assault under such a dense attack, the Griffon Knights quickly left the terrifying death zone while maintaining the force field of the "mobile walled city".
"Is this the power of guns......
Pulling away the distance of 4 kilometers in one go, those pipes no longer spew out a rain of bullets. Simon sighed as he watched the Zeppelin pull up.
The rumors of Titans using the "gun", a new weapon that does not rely on magic, to attack Azugrana in one go and inflict heavy damage on Castile have been heard on the northern front, and now that he has experienced the rate of fire and accuracy that surpasses magic, Simon no longer thinks that it is just an exaggerated message.
In the blink of an eye, a storm of steel balls and flames will come in with the momentum of engulfing the target, and the reaction will be a little slower, or the level of defense skills cast is not enough, and it will be torn to shreds in one fell swoop. Like poor Poitou - even the man and the mount were beaten into a honeycomb in the truest sense of the word.
In front of this new weapon, which completely ignores the imaginary speed of the spell, the caster's consciousness capacity, and the sensitivity of Mana. The Castilians would be helpless, and it is not surprising that hundreds of thousands of pigs and sheep are generally wiped out.
Now, it was the turn of the Knights of the Golden Fleece to be depressed by the swarthy pipes.
Despite the "mobile walled" amulet, it can absorb a certain amount of impact. But in the end, there is a limit. The closer you get to the Zeppelin. The more frequency, accuracy, and impact the other party is involved, the more it will increase. Even if they barely survived their lives, the pain of the heavy blows all over their bodies would attack them endlessly.
They are physically strong and have been tested on the battlefield. Can you withstand the kind of ultra-dense attack that takes more than 10 heavy hits a second, hold on all the way to the target's shell, and then slowly find a way to destroy the metal plate and rush into the ship for hand-to-hand combat?
What Simon didn't know was that 1,200 rounds per minute was actually the slowest rate of fire of the 730 close-in defense gun, which could be adjusted to a maximum of 4,200 rounds per minute, and it was also equipped with a special armor-piercing shell...... If it weren't for the fact that the Zeppelin was not a regular warship and had a limited ammunition allocation, the first round of strafing would have turned them all into a colander and sent them to the sea to feed the fish.
"What should I do? Do you want to keep up?"
Looking up at the Zeppelin as it was speeding up, Renault asked.
"No, just try to follow along. ”
Looking up at the giant whale's posture, Simon's eyes revealed the confidence of "as expected", originally their goal was not to shoot down or force land the Zeppelin, and now that the mission was basically completed, there was no need to risk losing the precious griffin to attack the ship.
All they had to do was follow the Zeppelin and wait for the situation to change further.
Suddenly, the pupils shrank, and the mournful cry of "spreading out the !!" pierced through the brains of his companions like lightning.
At the same time as the warning signal was issued, countless light bullets pierced through Renault. Bathed in the strong light and high heat, the pain of the body falling apart seeped into the bone marrow of the Golden Fleece knights in an instant, and several female knights let out a silent mournful cry.
Enduring the pain of a part of his body being chopped up, Simon harnessed Nicholas, a griffon like a silent comrade, and drew a beautiful arc in the air, searching for the figure of the enemy who launched a surprise attack.
A red shadow flashed through the middle of the sun, as fast as lightning, but the afterimage of that moment was like a dream did not leave Simon's sharp eyes.
"Is that the guy?!"
Simon was overwhelmed by the ghostly fast-moving humanoid shadow, trying to follow the trail of the disappearing image to capture the high-speed moving body, but he couldn't find anything in the vast sea of clouds.
"Woo-ah!!"
Another sharp pain cut through Simon's skull, and the horror and pain of his companion's death erupted in his head one after another, so fast that Simon almost lost consciousness, and the team commander screamed.
Plural axes of light continued to shoot out from completely different directions, and exploding fireballs and scattered smoke fragments appeared one after another in the position where the companions had been saved a second ago.
"See...... Hell!!How many enemies are there!!!"
Sensing the cold murderous aura pouring from all directions, Simon shouted loudly, and Nicholas, who was carrying him, also instinctively felt the heightened danger, and flared his wings with all his might, drawing a beautiful S-shaped trajectory in the air continuously, according to experience, this type of flight is the most difficult to aim.
As he thought so, several intermittent flickering objects appeared in front of his vision.
Five cone-shaped barreled objects, emitting strange light, adjusted their trajectories and dispersed, and they approached Simon and them, and the tip of the beautiful lens was pointing at Simon.
"That's ......!!!!"
Simon, who was in a cold sweat, urged Nicholas to start swooping, as long as he rushed to the surface of the sea and made a sharp turn at an accelerated turn, he should be able to shake it off-
The five lenses shot out a pink axis of light, and there was no time for struggle and understanding, and the griffin knight and his mount evaporated without a single hair or piece of flesh, and dissipated between the sky and the sea with the other commandos.
"Oops...... It's not tasteful. ”
A bright red steel figure emerged from the clouds, the compartment of the shoulder blades like huge petals was wide open, and the group of psychic cannons after the hunt smoothly returned to the wings, scanning the empty space, Freya sighed in distress.
"I wanted to play a little longer...... Forget it, let's go back first. ”
The compression storm technique propelled the red general's MDS forward, and the G-force of acceleration expelled the unpleasantness from her body, and Freya, who rushed back to the Zeppelin at full speed, did not know that a serious accident was taking place on the ship, which was supposed to be peaceful. (To be continued......)
