Chapter 2665 - 889: Kirov Reporting – Bonus - for "Little Lamb" [3/10] (Part 2)
"Our ship will cooperate with your side to carry out the aerial drop on the battlefield at that time."
"Order received!"
The current backbone of the P-Company War Criminals, the rising hawkish group whose spokesperson was Doujiangbaidao, replied in a formal yet barely concealed excited tone:
"Our ship will definitely complete Transylvania’s first large-scale airborne operation! But I request that the severed head of that slain Great Marshal of the Jackal Wolves be gifted to our ship as a trophy... we like things that represent victory."
"Uh, that’s a really weird kink, but we can talk about it."
Old Qin replied:
"Behave yourselves properly and everything’s negotiable."
"No problem, no problem, just watch us perform."
With confidence brimming, Doujiangbaidao replied, then the comms were temporarily cut off. Old Qin also released his own gear from his pack and began putting it on, which made the First Mate piloting the airship ask in confusion:
"You’re going into battle yourself as the commander?"
"I’m just there in name, it’s not like I’m familiar with air-force tactics."
Old Qin waved his hand modestly and said:
"Besides, I’ve got a blood feud with the Wolf People to settle. I’m old, but I at least understand the principle that you don’t sleep on revenge."
He planted that brutal Crimson Chainsaw Sword in his hand, looking at the gloomy sky curtain ahead, as if he could already hear the shouts and roars from the lines below.
He whispered:
"It’s not that I’m trying to prove anything, but the glory that was taken by the Wolf People—I’ll take it back myself with my own sword!"
"I can feel your heartbeat speeding up abnormally from standing right here..."
The Half-body Man First Mate said quietly:
"I don’t really understand how you heroic spirits’ health is supposed to be categorized, but I still suggest you don’t take the risk."
"Hmph, if I don’t personally finish this battle, I won’t die in peace."
Old Qin rubbed his chest.
He could feel the violent pounding of his heart; he knew his body might really not hold out much longer. But come on... heart that’s been with me for over sixty years, just hang in there a bit longer! At least let me see that victory with my own eyes.
"We’re about to enter the battlefield area! Open the lower deck bomb bay hatches, activate the visual sight!"
The First Mate shouted, and a device similar to a submarine periscope popped up in front of Old Qin.
Lord Qin stepped forward, gripped the handles on both sides, and entered observation mode. The mirror before his eyes captured the situation on the ground in full, and there was a special marker for locking the bombing zone and target. The scale lines would constantly shift with the airship’s altitude and speed, calculating lead angles to make bombing more accurate.
This counted as a relatively simple fire-control system. The Half-body Man First Mate complained:
"The things you design are impressive but also brutal. I can’t understand this mechanical system made purely for efficient killing, but I can be sure your engineering over there definitely developed in service of war. Are you the so-called ’nation of war’?"
"More or less."
Lord Qin adjusted his field of view, and as the airship entered the Lord’s position and began descending to bombing altitude, he casually said:
"Out of five thousand years of history, we’ve been at war for at least three thousand... so calling us a nation of war isn’t exactly wrong. But technology and machinery are always just tools; they’re neither good nor evil. It depends on who’s using them.
First-wave bombing target locked. Once we descend to the designated altitude, start the drop!
Keep it steady, maintain low-speed cruise, First Mate!
I don’t want to bomb our own people."
Meanwhile, on the battlefield below, with the support of the player army, Murphy and Kudell had already begun a hard push forward. But the Wolf People weren’t giving up that easily—mainly because they’d committed too many troops; the Wolf People in front couldn’t even retreat if they wanted to.
To maintain the pressure of the advance, that Military Governor hiding in the battle formation even deployed blocking squads behind his own men...
"Look up at the sky! Something’s coming out!"
Down on the ground, the blind Eagle who’d been leeching assists by following Murphy suddenly noticed something incredible when he looked up once.
He shrieked, making the excited newbies around him all raise their heads, and then they saw it—up in the clouds of the sky dome that had been brightened a bit by a previous cleansing from the Eastern Holy Spirit, a huge "monster" painted in black and red was quietly poking its head out.
Like some legendary Evil Dragon tearing through the glassy clouds and descending, with a steady and immensely powerful posture it revealed its true form to the players and the Transia Soldiers.
When the hundreds-of-meters-long, cigar-shaped hull appeared in the sky it didn’t seem that big, but as it kept lowering its altitude, its true shape was seen clearly by those with good eyesight. When they saw the blood-red bat wings artistically spray-painted on the airship’s gasbag and the deliberately monstrous styling, some sharper players were already cheering.
"So this is the secret weapon Lord Qin mentioned! An Armed Airship! And there are two of them? No, three!"
In the crowd, Yin Tiger, who was leading a charge, cursed in excitement:
"Now that’s what I’m talking about! I knew the manufacturing players in the rear weren’t slacking off. They’ve even rolled out a Hundred-Star Behemoth—this battle’s in the bag!"
"Kirov Reporting!!!"
A few slightly older players all dragged out the line to shout the classic catchphrase for the Kirov Airship’s entrance. They cheered, and as they watched the airships fly over the front line toward the Jackal Man formation, they all guessed what those airships were about to do.
"When I said earlier that I’d already mastered Heavenly Fire from another world, a lot of people didn’t believe me."
