I became a witch, but I started the industrial revolution

'Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh...'

The six-barreled "Smoker" disposable rocket launcher, coated with magic camouflage paint, madly poured the rockets in its barrels into the sky.

There are 300 good brothers around it, which are launched in waves under remote electronic control and can spray out all the loaded rockets in the shortest time.

A large number of rockets filled with napalm covered the entire area where the Allied Forces' vanguard troops were located within the attack range. Several Saint-level warriors formed small protective circles and looked at the sea of ​​hellfire in front of them with gloomy faces.

The bright red flames were far more dazzling than the midday sun, and the rising columns of black smoke could be clearly seen from several kilometers away.

Traditional water attacks were no way to extinguish them, nor was freezing them, and because of the suppression of the surrounding elemental dust, the magicka consumed by the protective shield they applied was barely replenished in the natural environment.

They were forced to choose to reduce the protection range little by little according to the consumption rate while enduring the consumption, and the soldiers who were not in the shield could only say sorry silently in their hearts.

The soldiers wearing protective earmuffs quickly boarded the long-awaited transport airship after the last round of Nebulae completed their work.

The detonation button was pressed directly after launch, and violent explosions occurred instantly at the three rocket launcher positions, destroying everything.

This is the first great gift from Medea to the coalition forces.

The Allied Forces would never have imagined that the Seris Alliance was located in the heart of the Kingdom of Ixia, an area controlled by the Allies.

A heavy firepower projection position consisting of 300 multiple rocket launchers was secretly deployed under everyone's noses.

The problem is that the Alliance actually did it. 300 of the not-so-small Smokecasters were placed, loaded and launched, and the capital city, which was only a few hundred kilometers away, didn't even notice it.

This is the most classic tactic of hiding the truth from the public. The most dangerous place is also the safest.

It's not that they didn't think about being ambushed; the existence of several saints was for this purpose. But no one could have imagined that the alliance would act so cruelly and decisively.

In the early days, during Tsar Roschek's foreign war, the alliance provided similar weapons, and after proving their combat value, they have been sealed up until now.

Although certain results were achieved at that time, the decisive force still came from the mecha soldiers who were carrying the pineapples and charging forward.

In addition, the officers consciously exaggerated their own roles in the reports, so naturally this short-lived weapon did not attract the Tsar's attention.

After all, the quantity of Alliance weapons purchased was very large, and many of the Alliance's free gifts were all kinds of strange and bizarre experiments. The Tsar himself probably forgot about this.

Although this battle was not its official debut on the battlefield, it was definitely the beginning of its first fame on the continent.

When the magic shield and magic ability, which are the foundation of a magician's career, can be cracked, how much combat power other than magic will the magicians have left?

Too many people want to know the answer to this question.

Chapter 260 Luke Air Combat

"No, no, no!..."

"Adjutant! Send out the air cavalry corps to uncover the enemy! I will tear them into pieces!"

"Yes!"

Ashadron looked down with bloodshot eyes as he saw the location of the previously high-spirited invincible army below suddenly turned into a hell on earth with black poisonous smoke rising.

The middle section covered by the rain of bullets was completely hopeless. At least three army corps were wiped out as a whole, with tens of thousands of casualties.

No one's elite army is a cabbage picked up on the roadside. Large-scale losses are very difficult to replenish, and they died in such a dramatic way.

He couldn't imagine how he would explain this to the country they represented.

Under the military order, thousands of Griffin Cavalry Regiment troops quickly rushed towards the area where the rockets were attacking, followed by two teams of dragon knights. The rest of the people tried their best to extinguish the flames that were still burning below.

At the same time, in the deep sea far away, a medium-sized fleet converted from cargo ships was making final preparations.

A fighter plane slowly drove to the center of the deck. As the color of the signal indicator light on the side of the deck changed, the plane's engine suddenly roared and the entire fighter plane quickly rushed to the end of the deck.

After breaking out of the deck and achieving the lift coefficient required for takeoff, it successfully rose into the sky. At this time, there were already hundreds of fighter jets in formation in the sky, waiting for other comrades to take off.

The 10 modified aircraft carriers eventually gathered more than 600 fighter jets carrying auxiliary fuel tanks and began to fly towards the designated target direction.

"The first round of offensive is going very smoothly. Our friendly forces have safely taken off and are evacuating in the direction of our unit."

"Captain, the final check is complete. All troops are confirmed to be ready for battle!"

Laplander put down the telescope and looked at the communications officer beside him: "Have they arrived yet?"

"Sir, the last communication was five minutes ago. The naval fleet has arrived in our airspace about 63 nautical miles away. The land-based heavy long-range fighter formation is farther away, about 90 nautical miles."

Laplander shook his head: "It's too late. The entire army immediately enters the first level of combat readiness. All sailors are stationed at their respective posts, and advance at full speed to prepare for air defense combat!"

"Full speed ahead! Prepare for air defense combat!"

The adjutant's shouting was received by other warships in the fleet through loudspeakers at all levels. The ship's air defense commanders took their officers to the air defense command tower equipped with an optoelectronic aiming system and stood by.

A large number of bear soldiers were running around near the anti-aircraft machine gun positions, carrying huge and heavy boxes of ammunition and stacking the necessary ammunition next to the positions.

The 20mm magazine used by the machine gun is quite heavy. It is impossible for ordinary people to carry too many at one time. Even if they are pulled with a small wheelbarrow, the efficiency is very limited. Only the bear and bull tribes have enough strength.

At the same time, the four triple-mounted main guns and secondary guns slowly raised their barrels towards the distant sky, filling them with delayed-action high-explosive shells.

All the boiler valves were opened, and billowing smoke began to fill the sky above the fleet.

Ever since being attacked by a dragon in the last naval battle, the first thing Lappland did when returning to the Alliance was to submit a report on the improvement of shipborne weapons, with particular emphasis on the problem of the elevation angle of the main guns.

For Lapland, losing did not frustrate her. What made her sad was that her battleships had heavy firepower but were unable to attack the enemies in the sky. She could only fill the firepower gap with greater losses. This was what made her most uncomfortable.

Her proposal was soon supported by other generals in the Navy Department, and the technical standards for the main gun elevation angles of all active naval ships were updated.

By replacing better hydraulic accessories, the lifting angle can meet the needs of large-angle aerial shooting.

And this battle was the beginning of her revenge.

The coalition's vanguard Griffin Air Cavalry Regiment quickly caught up with the slow-moving airship evacuation troops, but when they rushed forward angrily to tear these despicable guys apart, they were met with failure.

The airship's slow speed is such an obvious flaw, so why does the alliance still try every means to update and iterate the airship's technology? Of course, it is because it has a stronger load-bearing and endurance capacity under the same volume.

The moment the Griffin Knights rushed into the attack range of the airship troops, they were baptized by a metal storm.

Airship units with diameters ranging from tens to hundreds have generally eliminated machine guns and instead installed a large number of 20mm dual-purpose machine guns and recoilless guns. Tactical teams composed of 8-24 airships have ample firepower output capabilities.

The retreating airship team happened to be five fully-strength tactical squadrons. The 120 airships burst out with counterattack firepower to form a hedgehog formation. The Griffin Knights could not rush in before the ammunition was used up.

The airship troops were fighting and running in the front, while the Griffin Regiment launched exploratory attacks from time to time in the rear but were beaten back, and the situation was at a stalemate for a while.

The Griffin Regiment's embarrassing situation was not broken until the dragon knight squad arrived late.

The dragon's breath spewed out from the dragon's mouth had a wide coverage area and lasted for a long time. It easily detonated all the incoming shells, allowing the Knights to break into the firepower network and fight. From time to time, an airship would be blown up and fall towards the sea while burning, or several griffin knights would fall into the sea.

Seeing that the dragon knight was difficult to deal with, the airships on its left and right sides turned their firepower and focused on one of them.

The large-caliber tungsten core armor-piercing bullets of the Deshika heavy machine gun performed miraculously in the battle. The purely kinetic bullets easily penetrated the hot dragon's breath, leaving dense blood holes on the hard dragon scales.

Before long, the body and wings of the silver dragon were shattered into pieces, and the knights on the dragon's back were also slaughtered, wailing as they fell downwards.

This scene seemed to have angered the remaining dragon knights. Round after round of ninth-order magic bombarded the airship group's networked stand shield, rapidly consuming the power reserves of all the airships.

From time to time, an airship would run out of power and lose the protection of its shield. The entire airship would be exposed to the air filled with violent elemental storms and would be quickly torn into pieces.

Just when the airship regiment was in a precarious situation, the fleet finally appeared on the sea not far away. The commander of the airship regiment was overjoyed: "Reinforcements are coming! Don't save ammunition, fire at full force!!!"

Originally, because the machine guns consumed too much ammunition, all the machine gun positions that needed to maintain a constant rate of fire suddenly burst out with firepower output far exceeding the intensity just now.

The dense tracer bullets flashed wildly in the sky like a grand fireworks show, forcing back the surrounding air cavalry.

The leader of the Griffin Knights had noticed the naval fleet below, and he was also surprised by the huge size of several of the warships.

But that was all. He didn't think the surface fleet could launch a strong anti-aircraft barrage, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

It was five minutes later that he realized how wrong he was.

The core advantage of industrial technology is that practice makes perfect, and when problems are discovered they must be solved as quickly as possible.

After suffering losses at the hands of the air cavalry, the anti-aircraft firepower of almost all warships has been intensively upgraded and strengthened. Compared with the previous number of anti-aircraft gun groups, the number has basically doubled.

The barrage of bullets from the quadruple heavy machine guns easily broke the encirclement of the airship regiment, and a large number of Griffin Knights were caught off guard and exploded into pieces by the fierce and dense tungsten core armor-piercing bullets.

Before they could make any other reactions, the main gun barrels of the battleships, which were raised high, also opened fire one after another. There was even a 305mm high-explosive shell that flew in front of a giant dragon and was detonated by the dragon's breath, blowing the huge dragon head off on the spot.

"No, the firepower is too strong, the rear army becomes the front army, the whole army retreats!!!"

Chapter 261 Vanguard Class Fighter

The Air Cavalry Knight Commander shouted at the top of his lungs, completely unaware that he was being targeted.

On the warship deck of the Lapland flagship, a navy blue-painted mecha warrior was half-kneeling on the deck. In front of it, a sniper gun with a total length of about 5 meters was mounted on the deck muzzle brake.

The figure of the Knight Commander is clearly visible in the huge scope above the sniper gun.

In the air defense tower above the mecha soldiers, the team operating the optical equipment is quickly calculating various data and transmitting the information back to the mecha soldiers.

As the calculations came to an end, the mecha soldier who had obtained the exact data inserted a 50mm tungsten core arrow-shaped bullet into the standby gun chamber and locked it.

"boom!"

As the mecha soldier's body shook, almost in the next second, the upper body of the Knight Commander who was loudly issuing orders exploded into a ball of scarlet blood mist. At this time, the magic shield surrounding his body slowly revealed a pierced hole, and the shield slowly dissipated into the air.

Pak-50 sniper gun

Any hit below Saint level within a thousand-meter range is a sure kill. Even an aerial knight who can fuse with his mount to strengthen his magic shield protection cannot stop it and has no chance of being hit a second time.

The commander was killed instantly, and the Griffin Knights, who were reorganizing and preparing to retreat, fell into a brief chaos. Dense black spots appeared in the distant sky.

Seeing the fierce air battle in the distance, the arriving carrier-based aircraft formations dropped their belly auxiliary fuel tanks and began to accelerate under the orders of their respective captains.

"Enemy attack!!! Squadron 4-8-12-19 will meet the enemy head-on and cover their retreat! Quick!!!"

The deputy knight commander who took over the command looked at the large number of giant steel birds swooping down on them and shouted orders.

Before he could continue giving commands, he felt his body suddenly spin and fly out. In the gap between the tumbling, he saw the familiar body of his mount partner in a daze, except that half of its body was missing its head.

The soldier who had completed another precise kill looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction and patted the black-painted gun barrel of the Pak-50: "Awesome! From now on, you will be my closest comrade-in-arms and lover!"

The four squadrons of the Knights faithfully carried out the last order given by the Deputy Knight Commander before his death and rushed towards the diving fighter jets. The collision between the elemental storm and the metal storm continued in the air.

Although a large number of Griffin cavalry were continuously shot down, the large force in which the Griffin Knights participated successfully escaped from the fire range of the fleet and airships. The number of fighter planes that came to support was only over a hundred, and the knight squadron that was left behind was successfully left behind and could not be pursued.

However, soon, dense black spots appeared in the distant sky again, and this time the number of black spots almost covered the entire sky, like a dark and heavy cloud moving at a very fast speed.

Thousands of new long-range land-based heavy fighters arrived at the battlefield in time after a long journey.

They ignored the small groups of troops that were fighting and rushed straight to the remnants of the Griffin Knights that were gradually moving away. The huge bodies of the fuselages made the eyes of the Griffin Knights who were left behind reveal a hint of despair.

The reason is simple. They have seen two of the same weapon barrels on the fuselage of the new fighter planes on the first batch of incoming steel birds, but these new fighter planes have as many as five.

After catching up with the retreating Griffin Knights and entering attack distance, the new fighter's fuselage shook, dense smoke rose up, and with a whistling sound, rockets crashed into the group of griffins like a meteor shower, causing violent ripples on the shield.
