Mage? Spell Engineer!

The five pillars support the sky and the jade is clear.

Looking from the window of the airship, everything became clear. The shattered remains of the fortress, the city walls climbed by giant trees and tentacles were all revealed, as well as those monsters - when the black sticky liquid faded away, there were dying living people. , as well as the remains that have been mixed with the soil, and the bones and flesh are intertwined and pieced together.

The devices deployed by the empire on the front line came out in full force, and the other bombing boats escorting the five device-carrying airships were also huge. If Valois had aviation power, the empire would suffer heavy losses. If the empire was willing to bomb, the already twice-destroyed Fortress of Moncado would surely be wiped out from here.

But neither side moved.

Judging from the situation below, the technical director guesses that his task has been completed. He still didn't know who the Archmage was who threatened him and what his purpose was, but the big hand on his shoulder was still there, very firm.

Do you want a sneak attack and counterattack? The technical director has experienced the baptism of the forbidden magic field more than once, and coupled with his own mediocre strength, it is easy to adapt to the situation without magic.

The small eyes behind the lenses began to glance restlessly to the right and back, and at the same time, his right hand reached for the gun bag.

"Don't move without my order." A calm and powerful voice came, and at the same time Humboldt's big hand exerted force, and the director felt that he was about to be pushed through the floor. The peripheral vision reflected the broad body, ah, a natural mage must have the muscles of a bear and the strength of a bear. This is called healthy!

If a technocrat compares himself to not having the strength to catch a chicken, then that’s fine. Whatever the master says is what he says.

Seeing that the other party was honest, Humboldt asked: "Will someone break into the command room later?"

"Generally not. After the impact of the forbidden magic, the facilities in the airship that require magic to operate must also be switched to backup systems without magic, and to guard against enemy attacks. This is the busiest time for the crew members."

He paused: "But you'd better let me issue some general instructions to let them know that the command room is still operating and ensure that these people have work and my assistants will not come back here."

Humboldt agreed with the other party's statement, and after asking what instructions there were, he asked him to choose to broadcast them to the airship fleet one by one. So the technical director got busy again. He was the temporary commander and was not familiar enough with the operation, so he was in a hurry. When the levers and buttons are pressed, the mechanical structure is constantly running into each other, both pneumatic and electric, making a series of harsh noises.

When the director was ready, he pulled the brass-cased walkie-talkie in front of him, and the sound was transmitted between the copper tube and the vibrator: "Leader 201 calls the entire team to report the situation of each unit." Finally, the sound was converted into radio waves through the electrified vibrator. , broadcast to other airships.

This is a radio captured by the Empire in reverse, and the technology was discovered in a distorted manner. Currently, they are not clear enough about the relationship between band, frequency and propagation distance, and the anti-interference technology is not very good, but it is used in places that are close to each other and only have a small distance between them. The communication within the airship formation is just right.

"202 Everything is normal." "Everything is normal."

At first, the technical director made a paging call, which made Humboldt a little nervous, but he quickly calmed down because the director was really just making a routine call and did not let anyone else notice anything unusual in the command room.

After the basic operation process was completed, the director wiped the sweat from his forehead. At this time, a moment has passed since the last impact. According to experience, in a few minutes, the environmental magic will gradually "resurge" to the extent that the caster is allowed to exert it.

He suddenly came up with a bold idea: "Sir, I beg you to allow me to issue the last order - to bomb the fortress."

Humboldt was silent for a while: "Let's talk and listen."

"Look, all the airship units deployed by the empire on the front line are mobilized. It's a very important matter. I, a small technical director, can't bear it." His face gradually became distorted and turned ugly. Perhaps in his own imagination, This grimace can arouse the other person's sympathy:

"You really picked a good time, but you happened to hijack me when I was in charge of testing the new airship technology, and the others didn't know what was going on! If you can let me lead the formation to achieve some results, then it will be easier for me to do the job when I go back. Sir, you see I have completed your mission."

The airship has just been refitted. The main updates include replacing the "safe and lightweight gas" provided by Rorschach, as well as assembling primary electrical devices as a backup under magic ban conditions. Finally, the energy storage equipment has been upgraded to speed up the charging of the magic ban devices. Put efficiency. Therefore, the technical director temporarily assumes the role of commander.

The director is just making excuses because of his superiors and subordinates. If he goes back like this, he will definitely face a military court.

Although he was stared at deeply by the expectant eyes of the technical director, Humboldt's main attention was still focused on the fortress itself. Suddenly, from the edge of the broken fortress, a clear and vibrant "wave" erupted. Its speed was no different from the efficiency of the previous invasion of Mother Earth, but it brought the brilliance of hope for life.

At the same time, the master also felt that he could re-mobilize the magic power of the environment, which meant that the mages below could cast spells.

In this case, Humboldt agreed to the technical director's request, but he had additional requirements: "A test bomb must be dropped first, and then the bombing can begin. Secondly, you must not tell outsiders about my appearance here."

"Thank you, sir! Your request is very reasonable."

A little earlier.

Dryats looked up at the shadow covered by the airship. At this time, He was just an incarnation. In the process of resisting the impact, all the incarnation of God could do was to try its best to restrain its own strength, sacrificing most of it to preserve a little of its core.

At this time, His beautiful appearance was covered with woody cracks like the bark of an ancient tree. He turned his head stiffly from looking up to looking straight. The infiltration of Mother Earth had stopped, and the evil and filthy breath disappeared.

Dryats murmured: "He is right. The era of gods has truly ended now."

He also saw the people who were still fainting and looking painful, and made a final decision: "Since the current power comes from you, I will give you some back today."

The cracks in the wood burst into brilliance, and the last essence of this clone was fully exerted, bringing divine healing to the people who were still alive in the fortress and the city, but the price was that this clone dissipated.

"Ah" Rorschach climbed up from the ruins, bathed in the last essence of the Dryats clone for a while, and he recovered a lot. At first, he felt comfortable, but then he felt sore all over.

"It was the attack of the empire that saved everyone." Cano pulled Rorschach up with a bitter smile.

"I don't think it's that simple. They are definitely not here for charity." Poincare looked at the group of airships that covered the sky with suspicion.

A heavy bomb fell and exploded in the center of the fortress.

"Damn it, as expected! This is a test attack, and there will be a large-scale bombing soon!" The recovered spellcaster cursed and began to prepare spell defense and counterattack.

Then, a bomb exploded above the fortress, and the main body was completely covered by flames.

"I advise you to stop, stop here." Humboldt confirmed that the next bombs were all defended, and kindly reminded: "There are at least three great wizards and several spellcasters below. You can't leave when they recover." That mysterious lady is stronger than an ordinary great wizard! But the technical director no longer needs to care about such details.

"Ah?" While the director was stunned, an outer airship was shot down by a mysterious force.

"Return! All units maneuver at full speed! Run!" The communication system was filled with heart-wrenching roars. The technical director's hoarse voice and the noisy electronic sound overlapped and echoed among the panicked airship formations.
