Nassaupelle felt a chill run down his spine.
It had seen the appearance of the iron birds when they swooped down to drop bombs. Since the first round of attacks came from a large piece of metal, then the larger iron birds that Wu Wang had discovered were completely compatible. Regardless of when humans had been able to build iron birds that big, at least their principles and structure should be the same.
And the large crater in the abdomen meant that the enemy had dropped the second metal chunk!
Then where is it now?
As Nassaupelle steered King City to change directions, he raised his head to look at the top of the cloud pillar, but he quickly gave up on the pointless attempt. Without the help of the Eye Demon Guards, it was impossible for him to find the answer in the chaotic sky with his half-blind eyes. Above him were traces of the battle between the iron bird and the winged beasts, and the falling black dots could be fragments of the iron bird, or the limbs of the Bogle Beasts, or even the Primordial Demons that had lost their mounts.
In fact, he could not even see the gigantic black iron bird that Undeserved mentioned. The tumbling smoke and dust had already expanded to dozens of kilometers, forming a gigantic 'umbrella' above his head. In between, it formed a discontinuous screen, so it was basically impossible for him to see the entire situation from a low vantage point.
[Did it leave anything behind? Or are there any black objects falling at high speeds nearby?] Mask was practically roaring as he asked.
[Yes, they're everywhere.] The other party's answer did not exceed his expectations. [If you want me to look for something, it's best you describe it more clearly. ]
It's too late, Nassaupelle realized.
What else can I do?
How can I avoid this attack?
Many hypotheses emerged in his mind, but they were quickly extinguished.
No … No … It still doesn't work!
In the end, Mask realized that he was at his wits' end.
Against the enemy's inconceivable legacy weapon, there was nothing he could do. The Deity of Gods was extremely massive, and it was impossible to change directions in a short period of time. Even though he had ordered the core instrument to retreat at full speed, the massive inertia continued to push the mountain forward slowly.
Intercept the incoming iron chunk? Putting aside the fact that the exact location and speed of that thing were completely unknown, it was difficult to even give this command. The army of winged beasts had already spread out, and their first target was the giant iron bird. The Birth Tower's consciousness transmission could only be sensed by the higher ascendants who could touch the Realm of Mind. It had no way of informing the thousands of Primal Demons and Junior Demons of this impending threat.
The only thing Mask could hope for was that those idiots with only one brain would be a little smarter and treat the human weapon as "another kind of anomaly" instead of allowing this black metal block to smash into King City.
From now on, the fate of the clan had nothing to do with individual will.
…
Sylvie couldn't help but bite her lips.
Smoke billowed from the siege of the Ark of Peace, and the nose of the ark was dented by the enemy's impact. Even though the two engines were still spinning, it couldn't prevent the ark from crashing.
The Ark was surrounded by a dense horde of Devilbeasts. They closed in from all directions, throwing spears with explosive effects at the out-of-control plane. The scene reminded her of vultures dividing their prey.
This was also the choice made by the crew.
In order to minimize the error, the Ark of Peace descended from a height of seven thousand meters to a height of four thousand meters. This distance was already less than the safety limit, and the calculated route would practically crash straight into the enemy's search area, at the same time coinciding with the height of the fatal radioactive dust column. It could be said that once the decision was made, there was no turning back.
After receiving the corrected parameters and the results, Captain Eagle Face didn't say much to her. He only said two sentences.
[Ark of Peace received. ]
[Thank you. I'll leave the rest of the mission to you. ]
It was as if this was nothing out of the ordinary.
If she hadn't informed him of the observed parameters, or chosen a safer route …
Vendy suddenly pressed down on her hand, as if she could see that she couldn't bear to do this. "This isn't your fault. Eagle Face is well aware of his responsibilities, and he has accomplished his mission with flying colors. If not for the Ark of Peace attracting most of the enemy's attention, the Air Knight's losses would be incalculable. Get them to retreat from the explosion area and prepare for the impact. "
Sylvie knew that he was right. It wasn't easy for the Air Knight to last until now when the enemy had the absolute advantage in numbers. She couldn't let Eagle Face's determination go to waste.
"Yes …"
She took a deep breath, pulled herself together, and sent the message through the sigil and the radio. Upon receiving the order, the aircrafts turned and used their speed to leave the battlefield. At this moment, Sylvie saw an incredible scene — not all the Air Knight were retreating. Three Fury of Heaven aircrafts not only had no intention of leaving, but were instead flying towards the demon's capital!
…
"Hey, do you know what you're doing!" Finkin's voice did not stop ringing in the earpiece. "This isn't a drill!"
"Of course I know!" Good roared. As he spoke, he killed a Devilbeast that was charging at him with a clean burst shot. "If everyone flies out, the enemy will definitely notice the bombs dropped by the Ark of Peace. Although it won't be easy to change its trajectory, who knows what will happen in the end! If you don't believe me, look at that guy — he's obviously thinking the same thing as me! "
The reason why Good insisted on staying in the initial airspace was because he was worried that the demons would notice the bombs dropped from high altitudes and prevent them from landing in the Deity of Gods.
The second internal explosion bomb weighed four tons and was embedded with God's Stones of Retaliation. Be it spears or magic stones, it would be difficult for it to be damaged. But the problem was that it could only be detonated in the core region of the floating city to achieve its best effect. This was a point that the battle plan had emphasized many times. It was impossible for the Devilbeasts to catch up to it, but it was better to be safe than sorry. If a demon happened to block its path, the outcome might be very different.
And he was the guardian of the final route.
Unfortunately, he was not the only one who had thought of this. Someone else had acted faster than him. Perhaps the moment the bomb left the cabin, the other party had already caught up with it.
That person was Manfeld Castein.
In fact, he had noticed Manfeld's car first, and only then did he find the round bomb in the chaos of his vision.
The three Fury of Heaven aircrafts formed a triangular echelon and chased after the bomb. The roar of the engines seemed to penetrate his earmuffs, and Good could even see the stabilizer fins at the tail of the bomb.
If it were the Fire of Heaven of the past, it would have long fallen apart from the high-speed flight.
Thankfully, the process didn't take too long. After eliminating two Devilbeasts that attempted to approach, the gigantic hole in the dome of the Deity of Gods was right in front of them.
