Release that Witch Chapter 1462: A long night
12:00 am.
Lights up in the hangar.
All the light-emitting magic stones are gathered here. In addition to providing lighting, some of them will be installed to fly machine to supplement the lack of light sources.
This operation Aerial Knight will emerge from the nest. More than 200 aircraft are not only the current air power of Neverwinter, but also the hope of all humankind.
Hundreds of ground crews rushed around the warehouse to check the condition of each aircraft, and the leader was Anna. She **** her hair, stepped on her boots, and looked like a work outfit. It left a deep impression of impression, and it made the atmosphere in the field soaring.
Roland is no exception. The -- counterpart's cheeks stained with a little oil and blue gem-like clear eyes are deeply reflected in his mind.
1:30 am.
The inspected aircraft has begun to refuel.
All exhaust fans are running at full power to reduce the oil and gas content in the air.
Because the lighting requirements are not high, and in order to reduce the risk of fire, this step is arranged at the same time in the hangar and the ground takeoff and landing field.
The most noticeable among the above-ground aircraft groups is two single-wing four-round bomber.
Although it has shrunk a lot in terms of indicators, its size is still spectacular enough. Its wingspan of more than thirty meters and its black paint make it stand out from the crowd.
Replacement of the The Phoenix engine allowed it to fly only with primer, but the reliable and mature airframe was exchanged. Because of this, the engineering department was able to rush out two before the implementation of the plan.
Of course, it's not just the "big" that stands out.
The tightly guarded belly of First Army and God Punishment Witches also shows its distinctive --. Although most people have not seen what the highly anticipated weapon looks like, it still does not prevent them from understanding. bomber will be the key to the battle.
3:00 AM.
Aerial Knight gathered for a final round of route review.
"Remember, there is nothing under the night that can give you directions. The stars in the sky will confuse your sight, and the light on the ground is the enemy's bonfire!" Tilly said loudly from the podium. "The only thing you can believe is the flickering taillights of the plane in front! Open your eyes and see the position of your teammates. Once you leave the floating island, there is no possibility of turning back!"
"If all goes well, we will reach the designated area at dawn. After that, the two bomber will drop the bomb -- successively. In this process, your task is to fully protect the main attacker from attack and shoot down everything that tries to approach The enemy, whether it is Dread Beast or high rank Devil! "
"Listen clearly. Due to the time difference between the two bombs and the huge power of the bomb, remember not to get too close to the target. In addition, regardless of the result, the fleet must return immediately. -- Your Majesty Roland allows failure, but does not allow human life force Funeral in a battle. As long as the sky belongs to us, hope will not break! "
"Go and write a new history of humankind -- this action, I am with you!"
"As you bid, Your Highness!" everyone shouted in unison.
3:50 in the morning.
"Honestly, I'm a little nervous."
By the ramp of The Phoenix, Roland saw that Tilly's hand was shaking slightly.
This is the first time he has seen such an uneasy expression on the other side.
At this time, only half an hour is left before the scheduled takeoff time. Two hundred carrier-based aircraft can also support four or five attack waves in another world. You must take off the entire formation in advance in order to Ensure that the long-distance raids will not leave behind too much.
"Are you afraid?"
"Maybe ..." She nodded first, then shook her head. "But I think more is expectation. Brother, do you remember our agreement? As soon as I think of that day will come, there will be some unable to hold back bottom of heart Emotions. "
When War of Divine Will ends, Ash will return to the world. This is also the belief that supports her to this day.
"Ah, I remember. Roland softly, "But only if you are safe to come back, can you prove that I didn't lie to you. "
Tilly raised head, "Brother, can you hug me?"
He slowly stretched out takes action, and took the opponent's small body into his arms, the latter fell forward naturally, leaning his forehead against his chest. -- time seemed to be back in a year ago, she was in his arms like this Let's cry.
After a while, Tilly's breathing stabilized.
"I am set off." She stepped back two steps.
"Go."
She logs into the cockpit, pulls down the canopy, and opens her mouth towards Roland.
From the perspective of the mouth, that is "thank you".
The gangway is withdrawn and the propellers spin up.
4:20 in the morning.
sluice gate of Fudao No.1 to No.10 is fully opened, and the biplane formations are flying away from the mother ship one after another.
Silvie keeps an eye on the global situation with Magic Eye, reminding those who may fall behind or depart from the airspace to return to the orbit of -- under the dark night sky. More than two hundred planes circle around Eleanor, like clusters of fireworks.
This is also the most accident-prone stage. Pilots who lack radar guidance and night vision equipment cannot even distinguish between sky and land, and there are many aircrafts taking off, and those erratic track lights will also cause confusion for Aerial Knight. . If it is not for Lightning and Macy under the instruction of Silvie, we should knock on the glass window to remind everyone before the problem occurs. It is estimated that many aircraft will be lost during the procession.
4:55 am.
Roland issued a command to begin operations via radio.
The Seagull and The Phoenix, as the leader of the fleet, took the lead in climbing, followed by two bomber --, which were given the names of "Xunpeng" and "Heping Square Boat", which are also the core of the two formations.
Then it is a convoy cluster consisting of The Skyfire and Skyfury. Although they belong to two formations, it is only for the convenience of night flight. -- For this operation, no matter which bomber is important, it must not be lost.
The last ones left were Lightning and Macy.
The two waved farewell to Roland in front of the podium, then turned around and flew into the night. Adding Shavi, Wendy, Andrea, Silvie and others on The Seagull, humans in this battle can be said to have invested all their air power.
Soon, the huge fleet was disappeared by night absorb.
Roland looked at the direction where everyone left, and he didn't want to leave the sight for a long time.
"Even if you never believe in gods, all you can do at this time is prayer ..." Nightingale sighed in a low voice.
He nodded incomprehensible.
This is probably the idea of all the remaining staff.
They have done everything they can.
The next is the hard and anxious moment waiting for -- to wait for fate to settle.
"Fortunately, we don't have to wait too long," Anna looked at the ink-colored skyline, "Heaven ... it will soon be bright."
