That's the target of this mission, Sylvie realized.
The scene in the center of the continent was almost identical to the information provided by His Majesty. The city of demons was built around the obelisk, and there was a deep pit between the obelisk and the city. Countless low-level demons were attached to it, like parasitic worms on the surface of a tree, but upon closer inspection, one would discover that they were continuously digging at the rock wall, causing the pit to expand.
The Red Mist settled here, forming a red lake, and the towers near the walls of the pit would fall into the lake one after another, becoming part of the giant pit.
Rumor had it that the obelisk was not this huge from the start, and that it would break out of the ground like a living creature, continuously growing, and the pit that contained the Red Mist would also continue to expand. Thus, one could determine the age of a demon's city from these two points.
The city in front of them was undoubtedly shockingly ancient.
Compared to the target, the figure of the biplane could only be described as insignificant. Not to mention the bombs it carried, even if it plunged into the pit, it would be hard to imagine that it could ignite the Red Mist lake.
Suddenly, Sylvie let out a soft "eh".
"What's wrong?" The attentive Vendy asked immediately.
"I discovered a strange … demon."
A demon that appeared at the top of the obelisk attracted her attention. Based on the habits of demons that worshiped the sky, those that could reach the top of the obelisk would definitely not be ordinary. And from the appearance of the other party, it was clearly not an ordinary demon. It was wearing a large cloak that could cover three or four people, and it was covered with densely packed ornaments. When she got closer, she could see that there were all kinds of things, from bone knives to metal armor, and even a few screws.
The enemy's head was also very special, it looked like a pillar, and there were many masks hanging on it, inexplicably giving people goosebumps.
"Is its magical wave very strong?"
"No … it's not strong." This was what puzzled Sylvie the most. Judging from its appearance, it was at least a Senior Demon, but after it appeared, it did not leap into the air, nor did it intend to gather mana to activate its ability. The only thing it did was to focus its attention on the direction where the Sky Knight was fighting. It did not intend to participate in the battle at all.
Since it did not pose a threat to everyone, Sylvie did not pay too much attention to it. Now that the two Heaven's Wrath teams were nearing the edge of the city, she had to focus to accurately determine the best place to drop the bombs.
Two minutes later, she sent out the bombing order over the radio.
"A small team can drop the bombs."
"Good understands."
Even on a sunny day, the clouds above the Impassable Mountain Range wouldn't be too high. Coupled with the height of the stronghold itself, it allowed the Fury of Heaven to remain undetected by the enemy.
The five biplanes lined up in a row, and with a steady speed, they dropped the 150 kilogram bombs mounted on their bellies.
The moment the heavy projectile left the hook, Good felt the body of the projectile suddenly lift up, as if his body had become much lighter.
Unfortunately, he couldn't see the results of this battle with his own eyes.
But Sylvie could see it very clearly.
As the center of gravity of the five bombs was in front, they quickly turned their heads downwards. Using the inertia of the planes, they fell in a rapid arc towards the center of the city. In the last 500 meters, they were almost perpendicular to the ground.
And the demons had also noticed these "uninvited guests" from the sky.
Another group of Devilbeasts rose from the city and flew towards the clouds — but compared to the speed of the bombs, their movements paled in comparison.
Five black shadows rushed into the city, and the moment the bombs touched the ground, they turned into a scorching fireball. The smoke and gravel it brought up were tens of meters high, and the momentum far exceeded that of a 152 mm grenade! Even though Sylvie couldn't hear the sound, she could feel the earth-shattering shock from the violent explosion and the flying debris around her.
At the same time, under the high heat wave, a few clear "holes" appeared in the Red Mist, just like the air holes in fluffy bread.
Looking from above, the slowly spreading grayish-black smoke column was particularly eye-catching in the Red Mist. Perhaps this city had rarely been attacked in the past hundreds of years, but from the moment it broke into the Impassable Mountain Range until today, the core area had been visited by humans twice in less than half a month.
However, Sylvie's heart sank to the bottom.
Due to the influence of the wind, although the impact points of the bombs were quite wide, at least they fell into the city, which was much more accurate than the Longsong Cannons. But only two of them hit the Red Mist Lake, and neither of them made contact with the "lake surface" before exploding directly in the air.
The moment the fireball appeared, she saw a rippling blue light wave — it was just like the barrier on the Senior Demons!
"What happened?" Vendy noticed her strange expression.
"There's a magic barrier around the obelisk," Sylvie murmured. "The bombs didn't have any effect …"
"Hey, hey." Shavi turned her head in disbelief. "You mean, the demons expanded the barrier to the level of a city? How is that possible? "
Of course, she knew it was a little unbelievable. The effect of an ability was usually related to the total amount of magic power. To make it effective in such a large area, even all the witches combined would not be able to do it. But the truth was right in front of her, and she had to believe it.
That's right … the Senior Demon at the top of the tower!
As the thought popped up in her mind, Sylvie saw the demon again, but this time it made her hair stand on end, and an indescribable feeling welled up in her heart —
She saw that the demon had stretched out seven or eight skinny arms and taken off all the masks on its head, revealing an extremely distorted face. More than a dozen stacked heads looked up into the sky, among which there were demons, humans, and some unknown monsters — one of the faces of a woman was particularly glaring. They all showed different smiles, which could be said to be extremely strange.
Sylvie could not hold it in any longer, and she bent over and vomited, and her ability was interrupted.
Seeing this, Vendy immediately picked up the communicator. "This is' Seagull '. Team Two, drop the bombs immediately and turn back."
"Understood, did Team One's bombing succeed?"
"No … there's a magic barrier around the obelisk, and the bombs didn't enter the deep pit."
"Barrier?" The other end was silent for a moment. "I got it. But I want to try again. "
"But something happened here, and I'm afraid Sylvie can't give you any more instructions for the time being. Moreover, the enemy's Devilbeasts are approaching the clouds!"
"Don't worry, Team One will cover us."
Vendy had no choice but to contact Tilly and report the situation. The latter did not mind at all. "It's okay, let Team Two try. We're not at the point of retreat yet."
