Chapter 106 (1/2)
Chapter 106: Aerial Battle
“Only by knowing your own strength and your enemy’s proill you be able to survive a hundred wars”
This isn’t a new adage, but I have always believed that if one isn’t even sure how much troops their eneht in the first place
“Those who forethink s losses, needless to say not forethinking at all” Often, the conclusion of a negotiation is determined by the current circumstances of both parties I believe that the results of war are also the sa interest and without a possibility of victory is a war that one shouldn’t startTL to ED: This is faenerals will gather to discuss their current situation and the enemy’s situation So, the more they know/discuss, the more they win The less they know/discuss, the more they lose
Due to the sudden appearance of the Nine-headed Dragon Emperor, Auland and the Seafolks are stuck in a stalemate However, stalemates are always te very soon Nofor me and the East Mist
If Auland were to achieve victory, Darsos’s seat on the throne would be stabilised Given his character, he would definitely seek vengeance against us If the Seafolks triuer be the territory of huendary underwater city Yaso, subed completely under water
Thus, I decided to ain control over the underwater base to use it as y and a sample of the Air Fleet This way, if we choose to stay, we may be able reap more benefits and if the situation sours, we also have the option of escaping Anye have already earned enough
The contract could be fulfilled at anytime We only have one opportunity If our first attack were to fail, it would be much more troublesome the next time around
With the assistance of the Queen of Banshees, it isn’t difficult for us to sneak a fe-tier Undeads in Before the attack, we have already done sufficient surveillance and preparation
This structure of this secret base isn’t very complicated There is the pier where the shi+ps are built, the Mage District where the Mages live, residential area and research lab for the craftserous defensive structure here
A squadron of around 300 White Wolf Guards are stationed here Other than those, the only force who could be considered as a fighting power are the Mages Going by the usual 10:1 exchange ratio, there should be 30 of thehts As for the conversion of Mages to Banshees, Skeleton Mages and sience and the strength of a Silver-rank at the , the success rate is even lower No matter what, I don’t think that it is possible for it to exceed the nuh-tier Undeads shouldn’t exceed a hundred
But, from the looks of the current situation, there are a hundred Death Knights already For there to be such a high exchange rate, there can only be one possibility
“The King Carlohin has been secretly training in Necro of a country to be a Necroreat ambitions”
Very quickly, the sentries found a pit with a few hundred people inside Looks like after he became aware of their isolation, in order to reduce the consu that soet into contact with the outside world within a period of time, Carlohin eventually decided to expose his identity as a Necromancer and converts himself into a Lich Then, he converts his subordinates into Undeads With the assistance of the sleepless Undeads, the pace of the construction went faster than planned
In reality, while scouting about, we discovered the Soul Gathering Tohich is an Undead Conversion Tool used to convert living beings into Undeads It is unsure whether it is secretly built before or after the isolation This kind of evil tool that plunges living beings into endless pain while converting them into mindless Low-tier Undeads is definitely the worst of the worst
Such Undead Conversion Tool is banned even in Xiluo After all, although this toy is able to convert beings into Undeads on a large scale, anything that goes in will be converted into cannon fodders like Skeletons and Zoh thisit difficult for theh-tier Undead to awaken their intelligence Also, it isn’t like the Xiluo Ee portion of them serves as slaves) Besides, theira conversion This kind of efficient but ineffective conversion ently require pawns to slaughter a city
The previous pit of a few hundred people have already touch the botto with the Undead Conversion Tool, King Carlohin’s actions words can no longer be described using the word brutal This also gives the law jobs a reason to launch a crusade against Carlohin Otherwise, I would still have to come up with an excuse to fill the loophole of Krose and the rest
At this moment, the enemy’s forces mainly consists of brainless Skeletons and Undeads ere probably converted fro quantity, the forbidden Undead Conversion Tool does lives up to its name and reputation Carlohin had done well to make the ‘full use’ out of his tools
I had done sufficient intelligence gathering beforehand, but it is impossible for anyone to be able to process all the variables that could happen in a battle What that I wasn’t aware of but expected to happen is that they were efficient in their work, there are actually four light assault airshi+ps in the storage already
“Boom!” “Boom!”
The sound of the cannons shot froushes upwards Occasionally, soround The cannon battle between fellow airshi+ps seee than the other battles occurring at the inal ates used on battle on the surface of the water, is a prototype for the Air Fleet With a ineer-type side cannons and two fish-hook cannons, it is originally a powerful weapon used for water battles It can hold up to a capacity of 30 people but five to six members are sufficient to operate it
At this level, the Air Fleet is still stuck in stage of i the water fleets and has yet to attain the level of what it is ten years later, the for a sudden assault froes would be h it isn’t very powerful, what is iinal prototype The turbine system as well as the air control syste the ‘initial design’it easy to analyse and ih Auland started to sell some of the lower-tier airshi+ps, they refused to sell this priinally, in tereous situation However, as Yingou brought a few Gnoineers to join our ranks, compared to the slow and blunt newborn Undeads, the shi+pmates on our side turns out to be much more capable
As for the Ace Hunter who had been wielding a rifle forcapabilities inthe cannons Not only is the main cannon he maneuvers a sure-hit, he even had the leisure to calculate the angle for another cannon on the shi+p
Newborn Undeads are still fragile The Undead arent Undeads under his coh most of them are manipulated by his Necroainst hie human orshi+ps the Order Gods, they would rather die and enter the Heavenly Realm then to be reduced to a bloodthirsty Undead that is vieith hostility by the rest of the world
The ‘personnel’ he can use is liroup of thees brought two Middle-tier Undeads who can barely talk up to the airshi+ps At the saroup of Skeletons and Zoe who serves as the Captain is et to operate the cannons while he gets absorbed in fighting Or perhaps, he realised that he is unable to hit any targets with the cannons, so he decided juic instead
This, on the other hand, sent a reminder to Krose instead Thus, a thunderstorend-rank, Krose’s intervention made the scales of the battle in the skies tilt coes, the ene strikes, such that their sail ignites and black sushes frodoe in terms of their prowess as a cannon tower When they unleash their full strength, it is as though dozens of main cannons suddenly cae of attacks frole Warshi+p labelled with the No3 starts to break apart fro the energy system explodes and the front of the shi+p starts to plue Tohere Lich Carlohin is in eantic Explosion Fireball is shot with a crih Krose tried to intercept the spell with her lightning, the gigantic Fireball still hits the No1 Airshi+p where Diana is at The offensive ability of Fire Eleic-level Explosion Fireball that Carlohin cast with the aug Storm is able to compete with The next moment, the misfortune that happened on No3 happens to its brother shi+p No1, as it begins to fall apart amidst explosions
“Juineers to always be prepared against explosions saved them The next moment, white color parachutes open one after another That is the Gno on the deck of the shi+p
But, it is a pity that…
“AHHHHHH!”
As a close-coht who often dons heavy armor, Diana is completely useless in an aerial battle Ever since they successfully took control of the boat, she became like a decorative ornament and had free time on her hands However, when she found an Auland Missilor Mythril Body Plate, she was extrehted This is a treasure that cannot be found on thethat we are still in a battle, she wears it without hesitation…
Alright, I can understand the desire for good defensive gears of a -term meat shi+eld, but it is apparent that the parachute cannot carry a fully-geared Holy Knight The Legend Knight who is shrieking as she plumht, it is ience… Even if she is unable to contribute to the battle, dying fro a jar of apples froardless of whether the jar shatters or not, the apple inside would definitely be reduced to apple jaardless of whether she is a Holy Knight or not, she will definitely be reduced to Elf jaend-rank, if she didn’t don on this full body armor, she could still think of a rets her actions terribly, there isn’t anything she could do
Moon Knight Diana, died in AD1897 Cause of death: Pilfering and too du Sister, why are you so foolish… She can already irave
“AHHHHH, SAVE ME! THIS KIND OF DEATH IS REALLY TOO EMBARRassING I HAVE YET TO COMPLETE MY LIFE GOALS, MY… MY SAVINGS ARE HIDDEN IN MY BOOTS, PLEASE HELP ME HAND THEM OVER TO VICADORE, ALSO… LORD PATRICIA, PLEASE GUIDE MY WAY I REPENT TO THE HOLY LIGHT LORD WUMIANZHE… I HAVE YET TO DATE, I DON’T WANT TO DIE SAVE ME, LORD WUMIANZHE!!”
Alright, she even starts to close her eyes and begins on her final prayers But suddenly, she feels her body lighten as the speed of her descend slows Soon, the descend seeether
“Idiot! At least you reible yet”
Opening her eyes, she sees a fas which were spread open, the burning halo of flaendary stance reel? Am I dead? Lord, why are you here as well? Are you dead too?”
Panic shows on the face of the already trauht The moment she opens herblur despite her els are the one who guide the souls of the dead However, why do I feel uncomfortable at her words?
“I take back the words that I have said, you are indeed incorrigible What do you mean by why are you here as well? I have never been to the heavens in s flap and I circle in an arc, avoiding the Store Towers
“I will talk to you about that ridiculous repentance of yours e return back If the three Gods were to hear it, with a worshi+per like you, they probably would burst into laughter But now, let’s cooperate and deal with the iliding, I glance at the situation below They were already in the
Other than the endless flood of brainless pawns, the hts converted from the White Wolf Guards
Most of the neakened White Wolf Guards are still in a period of a confusion and have yet to recover sufficient intelligence for theic and their Race Talent, such that is a bit pushi+ng it to say that they are Death Knights They seeher-tier Zombie Warriors Even so, they are still hard to deal with
