Monarch of Evernight: 216 Aerial Dogfight

bsp;The Bullocks ship fired an armor-piercing explosive crossbow, which hit the skull of the Hall of Valor. Immediately there was an earth-shattering explosion. Some white bone fragments were blown everywhere, and finally the skull was on the ground. A shallow crater several meters in diameter was left.

The power of the Princess Cannon shook the Hall of Valor ship's body violently, deflecting the entire battleship's momentum.

Although the skull was so thick that even dozens of cannons could not penetrate it, Qianye's face was very solemn as his body was shaken by the shock.

"Check the damage!" Qianye's voice instantly spread throughout the ship.

"The main gun is normal!"

"Seven of the port side secondary batteries failed, resulting in twenty casualties."

"Three of the starboard secondary batteries failed, resulting in fifteen casualties."

Reports on losses from various places were gathered at Qianye in the blink of an eye, and Qianye knew that his worries were not unnecessary. The Archduke-class ship of the demon descendant is not an opponent that can be ignored. It is bombarded continuously by it. Even if its body can block most of the attacks, the shock caused by the explosion will damage the equipment inside the ship and cause damage to the personnel at the same time. .

But Brox's ship passed by the Hall of Valor, made a smart turn, and turned back. The giant crossbow nailed to its bow did not affect its maneuverability and combat power at all.

Howard stood next to Qianye and suddenly said: "I remembered, that is the Wall of Sighs! Opposite us is Archduke Brox!"

"Who is he?"

"Brox has always been one of the strongest demons who is good at fleet combat. Under his command, he rarely loses in air combat. His most famous ability is the Wall of Sighs, which has incredible defensive capabilities. It is said that that He is also an ancestor of demons that is close to the level of a monarch, and the strong men of the Jerusalem family are generally good at defense. With this magical skill, Brox is even more difficult to deal with."

Qianye suddenly remembered that he had met a demonic viscount who used the "Obsidian Shield" in Blackstream City. He seemed to be from the Jerusheng family. It took a lot of effort for him and Song Zining to frown. Said: "How many times can he use the Wall of Sighs?"

"The past record is three times at most."

Qianye's eyebrows slightly stretched. Such a terrifying defensive ability naturally consumed a lot of energy. Although it was only three times, it was enough to determine the outcome of most battles. There are not many Grand Duke ships that can withstand three main gun bombardments from their opponents and still not lose.

Unfortunately, this time Brox's opponent is Hall of Valor. If losses were not considered, Qianye could withstand the opponent's main artillery bombardment seven or eight times without changing his expression.

The Hall of Valor increased its speed again, jumped up in the air, and jumped directly over Brox's ship. Then it flicked its tail and hit Brox's ship hard.

Tail sweep, this is the biggest killing move in the Hall of Valor. Although Shen Lu's power was outstanding, it was still a level lower than that of the Hall of Valor.

However, the bow of Brooks's ship did not move, and the stern of the ship suddenly swung, and then the entire battleship flew sideways, just avoiding the stern blow.

This was another incredible maneuver, completely beyond Qianye's expectations. He did not expect that a giant ship more than three hundred meters long could use such maneuvers that only appeared on high-speed boats.

However, Qianye did not panic, and drove the Hall of Heroes to turn around, and Shen Lu roared again. This time the attack was still blocked by the Wall of Sighs, and Dominic's counterattack once again hit the skull of the Hall of Heroes, making even Qianye feel dizzy.

The two giant ships soon became entangled in a battle. The Hall of Heroes is a dead zone from the beginning to the end. No matter whether it hits the head or sweeps the tail, it is unstoppable. And Brox's Archduke's ship showed unparalleled maneuverability. The several-hundred-meter giant ship was as nimble as a fly, constantly flying around the Hall of Valor, and often narrowly avoiding attacks.

After a fierce battle for a long time, Qianye's Hall of Heroes actually failed to hit Brox once. Shen Lu's knockdown hit the target, but after being weakened by the Wall of Sighs, it failed to cause fatal damage to the opponent.

Qianye finally understood that it was no wonder that Brox dared to come up to fight with just a Grand Duke's ship. It seems that in addition to the legendary maneuverability of his own battleship, the Grand Duke has also conducted extremely in-depth research on the Hall of Valor.

The most remarkable thing is that whenever the Hall of Valor is ready to attack, Brox can maneuver in advance to avoid the most deadly sweeps and collisions.

If the fight continues like this, Qianye will be in an invincible position. However, the demon descendants are not only coming with these battleships, but also more transport ships.

While the Hall of Valor was tightly entangled in the sky, the demon transport ships landed one by one, unloading a large number of soldiers and equipment in an almost toppling manner, and then took off again and returned along the way they came.

Tens of thousands of demons and troops directly under the parliament landed on the Xiri Continent, assembled, and then rushed towards the hastily built positions of the vampires, and the ground battle began.

Air and ground battles were fought simultaneously and equally fiercely.

In the sky above the valley, where the Hall of Valor and the Brox ship fought fiercely, no warship dared to enter the fighting range. They don't have the power and tenacity of the Grand Duke's ship. If they dare to get too close, a tail strike from the Hall of Valor can cut them off.

In order to protect the vampires below, the Hall of Valor cannot leave the defense area at will. Otherwise, with the mobility and terrifying firepower of the Brox ship, it can cause irreparable casualties to the vampires with just one salvo.

In this way, the air battle situation reached a stalemate.

In the bridge, Brox would inject magic energy into the control console from time to time. On both sides of the command cabin, there were as many as four Dukes, including Lin Jia'er, all injecting demonic energy into the console in front of them.

It is the powerful strength of these top experts that supports the huge battleships to perform various incredible maneuvers, creating a small miracle of being able to contain a giant ship like the Hall of Valor by oneself.

Among the four Dukes, Lin Jiaer was the first to be unable to support him. After all, she had just been promoted, and she had used special means to make her current unsteady strength even weaker than that of an ordinary duke.

She had just left the console when her body suddenly flew forward and fell into Brooks' hands involuntarily.

The Grand Duke strangled her neck, lifted her up like a chicken, and shouted: "Is this the Shen Lu you said no one can improve? There is a big gap between its power and the data you provided, right? ?"

Lin Jiaer's demonic energy was already exhausted, and now she couldn't breathe and couldn't say a word.

Blocks actually didn't expect an answer, he just wanted to find an outlet for his anger. He threw Linkel to the ground and said coldly: "Don't think that you can do whatever you want by relying on that old guy. If it weren't for the fact that you are still somewhat useful, I could kill you at any time. Get out of here. ! ”

Lin Jiaer silently climbed up and left the command cabin without looking back. No one knew what the flickering light was in the depths of her eyes.

In the Hall of Valor, Qianye kept driving the ship to pursue Brox's ship. With such a persistent attack, sooner or later the opponent will make a mistake.

The battle on the ground gradually became more intense. The demon vanguard was violently blocked and suffered heavy losses in an instant. However, they had just landed and had not yet fully adapted to the natural environment of Xiri Continent. Their counterattack firepower was very messy and could not suppress the vampire firepower at all.

However, this unit was all elite. They recovered from the initial blow in the blink of an eye and rushed to the left and right mountain walls to find cover. The Chinese military part is building mobile bunkers outside the range to serve as an advance base.

The Vampires are prepared to fight. Those brought here by the Hall of Heroes are all direct descendants of the ancient clans. Some may not be very strong and have little fighting experience, but they have all received strict and formal basic training. The difference can be seen when the battle is fired for the first time. Their shooting accuracy is generally higher than that of ordinary mixed troops. The first wave of bullets caused considerable damage to the demons.

However, the demon descendants and the troops directly under the parliament who came to hunt were also elite. After quickly finding the bunker, they fought back in a timely and powerful manner. However, there was no cover in the open area at the angle, and there were no servants used to consume firepower on the battlefield in the past, so the parliamentary troops could not charge against the rain of bullets and could only shoot at the vampires.

In the blink of an eye, the war went on the track that Qianye had expected, with the vampires and demons exchanging fire across the air. The demons have more and more experienced snipers, while the vampires have the advantage in terrain and fortifications. Both sides have their own strengths, and the casualties are also increasing.

The exchange ratio of casualties was better than Qianye expected. The combat qualities of these direct descendants of the ancient clan were indeed outstanding. It's just that the losses of the parliamentary troops can be made up for by follow-up troops, while the vampires will lose one dead person.

The ground war has entered the attrition stage, and what is competing is the will and willingness to fight on both sides. At this point, the Vampires are unlikely to be the losing party because they have no way out. The Parliament is a coalition, and after casualties reach a certain level, morale will inevitably go into question.

On the Archduke's battleship, Brox's face was gloomy, as if a storm was brewing. The frequency of his magic input was getting higher and higher, but the effect did not get better.

Among the four Dukes, another Duke ran out of demonic energy and left his position. Without the obstruction of the Wall of Sighs, even Shen Lu's attack would cause irreversible damage to the ship, let alone let the Hall of Valor's tail sweep across the ship. ?The power of the tail blow can directly knock out half of the unprotected Grand Duke's ship.

In fact, Shen Lu's greater or lesser power does not fundamentally affect the situation of the battle. However, although Brox has done research on the Hall of Valor, data is data. After facing it personally, he found that his previous evaluation had been improved by one level. , it was still underestimated.

The pressure on Brox is too great now. At first, he had some confidence that he could win the battle. The four dukes were specially prepared for the defense system, but now it seems that it is still not enough.

When he blamed Lin Jiaer, he was just venting his anger.

In the Hall of Valor, Nighteye lost his usual laziness. In addition to helping to stabilize the internal environment, he was also paying attention to the war below. Dark Gospel's face was even more solemn, and the death of every important descendant of the vampire clan below would make his cheeks twitch.

After a moment, he sighed and said with a wry smile: "Some of those children below are descendants of my old enemies in the past. But now every time I see one of them die, my blood core will throb."

Yeyetong said: "We are born from the source of the river of blood, and we are all part of the river of blood. The loss of every mark is a loss to the river of blood."

Howard shook his head and said: "It can be seen that the Demon King wants to completely erase the marks of these clans from the river of blood, but I don't understand, what is his purpose of doing this? If you want to destroy the entire vampire clan, then starting with Paz or Monroe is the right choice."

In today's understanding of the blood race, the Queen of the Night is the foundation of the entire race, the twelve ancient clans are the core foundation, and the first and second ranked Paz and Monroe are the leaders. The main clan and branches of the clan are also the most prosperous.

However, Howard and others discovered during the rescue that there was some deviation from what they expected. These two ancient clans were not among the most severely hit this time, but were instead a few at the lower end. It is completely unreasonable to say that the demon descendant is worried about the wrath of the Queen of Night.

But Howard also knows that no one can answer this question. If you want to know the answer, you can only ask the Demon Emperor. He looked at the Demon-born Archduke battleship that was still fighting with the Hall of Valor, and he couldn't hide his anxiety.

Brox's ship is like the most agile cheetah, making behemoths like the Hall of Valor helpless for a while. The final victory or defeat can be predicted, but the time of victory is unpredictable.
