An airship floats leisurely in the sky near the base. From the outside, it looks like an old transport boat. That kind of unsuspecting posture and speed as slow as a turtle, in the eyes of the sky pirates, they are probably the easiest prey to capture, right? However, if any sky pirates were confused by the appearance of the airship and foolishly approached it, the result would probably make them cry without tears. Because this airship is by no means an ordinary airship, but the first space-based battleship of King Ravilis, the Golden Melly! The Golden Melly is based on a military transport boat and was transformed with Aden technology. Apart from the disadvantage of being slightly weakly armed, it is the same as the original space-based warship in other aspects. In fact, the original cargo hold of the Melly was transformed into a hangar warehouse, which can carry four air rides to the battlefield and perform logistical maintenance on the aircraft anytime and anywhere. In addition to having the basic function of an air-based warship, the Merry's hull is also reinforced with composite materials, which can resist the bombardment of sky pirate ships to a certain extent. Even if you are involved in a war with sky pirates, you still have the ability to protect yourself to a certain extent. It should be noted that the positioning of air-based battleships is originally the combat auxiliary unit of air cavalry, so how to effectively ensure their own safety is a higher priority than charging into battle. For this reason, Michel also made special treatments for the two engines located at the rear of the hull, adding a silent submersible mode at the expense of reducing the maximum power. After entering the silent submersible mode, the Merry's engine will not make any obvious noise, and it can safely hide in the clouds and move with the wind. According to Michel, the silent submersible mode is the latest cutting-edge technology developed by the Aden military industry. In actual combat, it can greatly improve the battlefield survival rate of space-based warships, and has been effectively proven in air combats in various countries around the world. However, considering that most of the opponents of the Kingdom Air Force are poorly armed sky pirates, the deployment of this technology on the Merry seems to be overkill and overkill. No matter what, the Merry has a completely new look after being armed with Aden technology, and the Sky Pirate crusade as its centerpiece is also undergoing final review. Today, the Merry carried four skyriders for its first airworthiness training, which also meant pre-war preparations for the crusade against the sky pirates. "That's great, I'm going to do a test flight too" On the Melly's deck, which has been modified to become wider. We must completely put an end to this kind of meaningless waste in the future. Captain Barrett was severely punished yesterday by Sister Rachel because of the huge deficit caused by fuel expenses in the alliance. I don't want to follow in his footsteps. " "Uh huh huh huh" Rachel stretched out her green fingers and pointed, you have to work hard. " "Sister Rachel, you are not a businessman. Where are you from?" Unable to resist the charm of selling financial products, Lin had to smile bitterly and shake his head. "Ah, have you been discovered?" Rachel snickered and naturally raised the topic. "Alright, Bodan and the others are coming back soon. Get ready to welcome them. I'm here to tell you about this." Three aerial riders landed on the front deck of the Melly, and the Qilin On the sidelines, he carefully looked at these most elite forces of the King of the Sky. The first ones to land were Bodan and Cruz, two Albatross painted in red. The Albatross is a standard airframe introduced by the Cangkong King Cavalry. Its performance has lagged behind the times. However, the Albatross they piloted is not an ordinary old airframe, but a modified and upgraded version. Under the guidance of sub-technician Michel, the maintenance crews used the parts from the damaged air rides to strengthen and transform the two Albatross. Bodan's heavy destroyer Albatross focused on strengthening the attack power and defense of the aircraft, while Cruz's interceptor The Type Albatross has been enhanced in speed and maneuverability. After adjustments by Aden technicians, the health curve of the Albatross is obviously in a good high-end downhill deck posture without any bumps, and the engine also delivers a smooth sound. Cruz even did a trick before landing, doing a giant spin in front of the bridge. I was so proud that others broke into a cold sweat. Kirin estimated that Captain Barrett, who had just returned to the bridge, would make this restless Xiangshi remember the meaning of caution. Withdrawing his eyes from Cruz's Interceptor, Kirin's attention turned to the last flying knight. This aerial vehicle is painted with a dark green snake pattern, which may be the origin of its name "Venomous Snake". Different from other combat aerial vehicles, the Viper has only one cannon. The heavy gun seat is located in the middle and rear of the fuselage. The slender gun barrel extends through the cockpit to the right side of the nose, protruding like a fang. Come forward. The cold white light shone in the sunlight, making people shudder to see it. Unlike the Albatross, which is used for close combat, the Viper is a sniper aircraft. The sniper aircraft is equipped with a long-range, high-precision cannon for site-based sniping that far exceeds the range of ordinary cannons. When the sniper target is an airship or something like that,When attacking slow-moving opponents, the sniper machine can achieve the highest tactical effect. However, when the target is replaced by an air rider with speed and agility, the sniper aircraft will be in a difficult position to capture the target. If the sky pirate is the opponent, there is no need to worry too much about this situation. Based on the need to increase the range, the shells of sniper aircraft must be able to withstand high concentrations of airflow energy, so they are quite expensive. In terms of cost of use, it is basically the highest category among the four types of aerial cavalry. Each of the four regiments of the Blue Sky King Cavalry is equipped with only one sniper aircraft, and it is on standby most of the time. If it weren't for the fact that the king's cavalry had organized a crusade team this time and needed to replenish their elite combat strength, Rachel would not have agreed to Viper's participation in the battle. The Viper¡¯s pilot is Jitan, the deputy captain of the 1st Wing. Qilin didn't know much about this colleague's skills. He just remembered that when the Moulin Rouge Independent Team insulted Nuo Yin, this taciturn colleague was the first one to rush up to him with a bottle of wine. Standing on the windy deck, looking at the viper's flying posture that seemed completely unaffected by the airflow and stable, Qilin believed that Jitan was someone who could trust him with his back. Qilin watched the fierce snake slide into the Gnaku, but heard the roar of the gryphon in the distant sky. Turning around, I saw a white-feathered griffin flying towards the Melly. Those are the little elf Keya from the Ralph tribe and the gryphon leader Wangcai from the Dragon Burial Valley. Two days ago, Wang Qi and the Ralph tribe reached an agreement. The Ralph tribe would provide information on the sky pirate stronghold, and Wang Qi would be responsible for conquering it. Yesterday, the little fairy temporarily returned to the tribe to collect information about the Sky Pirates' stronghold, and judging from her cheerful appearance, it seemed that she returned with a full load this time. "Now we can finally start" Watching Wangcai approaching, Qilin's mouth curved upward. He stretched out his hand toward the blue sky in the distance and clenched his fist hard. ¡°The war to clear the sky.¡±
