Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 1886 Air Raid
Before taking action, in order to quickly contain the thirty Ripper mechs on the other side, Wei Qing deployed most of the Giant Eagle Knights to the main battlefield.

As a result, only four giant eagle knights remained who could be assigned to track the eight goblin airships.

The task of having four giant eagle riders keep an eye on eight goblin airships is quite challenging.

After all, once the goblin airships on the other side split up, the giant eagle riders would be overwhelmed.

But Wei Qing, who made this arrangement, naturally had his own considerations.

When thirty Ripper mechs and eight goblin airships are placed together, his priority is definitely to ensure that he can deal with the thirty Ripper mechs.

In contrast, the goblin airships were always powerless against their giant eagle riders.

Four against eight might be a bit short-handed, but tearing apart the hot air balloons of an airship is ultimately a quick matter. If we act fast, we can handle eight ships.

Upon receiving the order, the four giant eagle riders immediately took action.

This was their third time dealing with goblin airships, and the giant eagle riders had long since accumulated considerable experience.

The same applies to surveillance missions. They always fly at a higher altitude than the airships, watching their every move. Directly above them is the airships' fatal weakness.

At this moment, just like a falcon swooping down on its prey, the giant eagle rider rapidly approached its target, while the giant eagle beneath it extended its sharp talons with lightning speed.

The next instant, there was a 'rip' sound, and the top of the hot air balloon was torn open.

However, the giant eagle riders did not stop their actions.

They knew very well that one opening was far from enough for a hot air balloon of this size.

Considering there are a total of eight airships here, the situation has become quite urgent and the task is heavy, so everyone is speeding up their actions.

The violent shaking of the airship made the goblins realize that something was wrong.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!!"

Without a second's hesitation, the goblins immediately sounded the alarm, the piercing sound of which quickly echoed through the silent high sky.

Even before they launched their operation, the goblin general had warned them that the enemy likely had air forces or anti-air capabilities, and that they should remain vigilant and not let their guard down.

They are indeed under attack, but they haven't even seen the enemy there.

This situation inevitably caused them some panic.

"That commotion means the hot air balloon has been attacked. The enemy is on it—it's air force!"

However, the goblins weren't completely stupid. Listening to the commotion, they quickly guessed the situation on the spot and transmitted this information via wireless equipment.

In just that short time, the hot air balloon was severely damaged, and the airship began to plummet uncontrollably towards the desert below.

In a desperate attempt to survive, the goblin soldiers on the airships parachuted out as quickly as possible. During this time, after confirming the situation via radio, the remaining goblin airships quickly dispersed.

Although they haven't been able to pinpoint the enemy's true identity yet, it's pretty much certain that the enemy's air combat capabilities are superior to theirs.

In the current situation, their airships are too close together, which only makes it easier for the enemy to harvest them.

Only by further distancing ourselves, or even acting separately, can we find and create opportunities!
However, escaping the pursuit of the giant eagle knight is not so easy.
Meanwhile, high in the sky, the enormous airship is extremely conspicuous.

Ignoring the parachuting goblin soldiers, the giant eagle riders immediately locked onto their next target and pressed forward after successfully shooting down an airship.

To improve efficiency, they chose to work in pairs, splitting up to destroy both airships simultaneously while also providing mutual support.

The goblin soldiers on this mission aboard the airship wore parachutes throughout the entire mission, prepared to immediately parachute out in the event of an air attack.

With one airship already destroyed in the attack, they basically knew the attackers were coming as soon as the airship shook.

Without a second's hesitation, the goblin soldiers, who were already mentally prepared, immediately parachuted.

At that moment, the giant eagle riders, who were tearing the hot air balloon back and forth directly above the airship, really didn't notice, or rather, they didn't expect the goblin soldiers to jump so decisively.

And just as they jumped, there was a loud 'boom' and the huge hot air balloon exploded!

All of this happened too fast. The giant eagle knights who were on a mission at the time had no time to react and were instantly engulfed by the explosive shockwave that carried the heat wave!
At the same time, another loud noise came from the other side, almost one after the other.

Clearly, the giant eagle rider on the other side also suffered the same attack.

The explosion was deafening, and the surrounding air vibrated violently as the shockwave spread. Even Wei Qing, who was directing the battle from the rear, heard the exaggerated noise, and the night sky in the distance was even illuminated for a moment!
At this moment, he was still unclear about what had happened, but just by listening to the noise, he knew that something must have happened, so he hurriedly sent his Giant Eagle Knights, who were responsible for relaying orders and confirming information, to check the situation.

When the giant eagle knight arrived at the scene, apart from three airships that had crashed and were still burning, the knight only saw some goblin soldiers scattering and fleeing on the ground.

But he obviously didn't have time to worry about that now. The giant eagle knight blew his whistle to signal and tried to contact the other four giant eagle knights who were on a mission here, but he didn't get any response.

This result made the giant eagle rider's heart sink.

Without time to think, they rushed back to the stronghold as quickly as possible to report the situation to Wei Qing.

At this moment, Wei Qing had just learned that the Undead army had been shelled by enemy reinforcements. Who could have imagined that, in the blink of an eye, misfortune would strike again?

The four giant eagle riders who went missing on the other side are most likely in trouble.

Of the eight airships, three have now been confirmed to have crashed. Combined with the two earth-shattering explosions, Wei Qing could roughly imagine what had happened.

In critical moments, he also made decisive decisions...

"Those five airships must have gone back to reinforce the main battlefield. Head straight to the main battlefield. After confirming the location of those five airships, do not get close. Use long-range attacks! Be careful that the airships don't explode!"
