He had been searching back and forth in the vicinity these days, but by coincidence he always ran into the commandos.
So a few days ago, in order to vent his anger, he led the Dragon Cavalry Regiment to destroy the city closest to him with several rounds of dragon flames.
Today he continued to look for the "little mouse" as usual, until the next morning, but the result was the same as usual, nothing was found.
Just when he thought he would return empty-handed again, he suddenly saw a group of friendly mice running on the ground in the distance.
The reason for this conclusion is that they were dressed exactly like the little mice.
The cavalry commander was overjoyed. As he flew towards the enemy's position, he ordered all his men to prepare to dive and release the dragon flame.
As he got a little closer, he discovered that the magical beasts the group was riding were very unfamiliar and he had never seen them before.
The strangest thing was that the group of people were actually sitting inside the monster, and they could see the people inside through the "skin" in the front and left and right.
He scratched his helmet. “I have heard of magical beasts with transparent bodies… but they are all top-quality magical beasts. Are there any in such remote places?”
Forget it, never mind, just seize one and take it back for research.
The cavalry commander urged his men to advance at full speed.
When they arrived above the enemy, he ordered to lower the altitude and prepare to release the Dragon Flame.
“Hahahaha…” Facing the strong wind, he laughed happily, “I can’t wait to see the fear…fear on your faces?”
In a few minutes, the enemy will be within the range of Dragon Flame. Given the number of the enemy, they can be wiped out with just two rounds of Dragon Flame.
Victory was within reach, but the cavalry commander's rhetoric suddenly became confusing in the second half.
He was a professional with strong eyesight. Although there was still some distance between the two sides, he could already see the details of the enemy's face.
"Why do they...seem...not afraid?"
The cavalry commander felt a sense of disquiet and glanced at the enemy vigilantly, and soon discovered something unusual.
In the past, when the enemy encountered his flying dragon, they would flee in terror. But now, the enemy sat calmly inside the magic beast, and seemed to be touching something with his hands.
Then he saw that on the back of the monster, several round tubes slowly stood up at an upward angle.
That round tube... is quite thick.
What is it used for?
The cavalry commander asked curiously.
The subordinate behind him seemed to be equally curious. He slowed down his dive slightly and asked, "Commander, is there a problem?"
"Problem? What problem?"
"The enemy...does not flee."
It stands to reason that after noticing something unusual, you don't have to retreat immediately, but at least you should be cautious, stop the current action, observe and investigate the enemy, and then proceed with the next plan.
But as my aunt, the commander of the Bauhinia Regiment, said, "Pride is the prelude to destruction, and apparently the Dragoon Regiment has already sounded the song."
The cavalry commander intentionally or unintentionally ignored all abnormalities and laughed contemptuously.
“Have these lowly soldiers from a kingdom like a village ever seen a flying dragon?
Calmness is not a sign of confidence, but of ignorance.
Listen to my orders, everyone speed up and release the Dragon Flame."
After saying that, he flew ahead like a dragon.
The subordinate who was left behind opened his mouth to say something, but he had already flown far away, so he had to close it again.
The subordinates looked at the ground with worried eyes, and the thick round tube on the back of the monster slowly rotated.
If a fighter pilot from Blue Star saw this scene, he would probably be scared to death and quickly increase the altitude of the fighter plane to get out of the range of the anti-aircraft guns.
But it was obvious that the Dragon Cavalry Regiment had no chance of knowing anti-aircraft guns, let alone their power.
The tube turned faster and faster, and the subordinates felt more and more uneasy.
He didn't understand where this feeling came from until the rotation speed of the tube increased to the limit and flames spewed out of the tube mouth.
Chapter 392 The Legendary First Army
Regardless of how the war situation between the coalition forces and Lake changed, it lasted for nearly two years after all.
During this period of time, not to mention the coalition forces, even Lake's own legion, not many legions had close contact with the First Army.
Most of their knowledge about the First Army came from instructors sent by the First Army.
For confidentiality reasons, the instructors are not in a position to reveal too much, so this understanding is very limited.
For nearly two years, except for a few people like Damu who were active outside, the rest of the First Army stayed at the base on standby most of the time.
Perhaps because of this, the First Army was shrouded in mystery in the eyes of soldiers on both sides, and even a heated discussion about the "Legendary First Army" arose.
So, what was the First Army, which did not participate in the war most of the time, doing?
In fact, their daily life is not complicated.
Apart from daily routine physical training and familiarization with various new magical weapons, the most important thing is learning.
Study the "Basic Physics Knowledge Handbook" and "Basic Biology Knowledge Handbook" specially developed by Zhang Mu.
After receiving the task of dealing with the Flying Dragon Cavalry Regiment, Zhang Mu personally gave them a crash course in common knowledge about flying dragons before departure.
When the First Army was traveling through the Allied territory with anti-aircraft guns and spotted a flying dragon overhead, the soldiers in the armored vehicles showed no surprise at all, and all looked very clear.
Just as the Marshal taught, it is indeed a giant flying reptile.
As Lake's most elite legion, the First Army would certainly not be disturbed by the thoughts in its heart and would launch multiple anti-aircraft guns in an orderly manner.
When the dragon comes into range, press the fire button immediately.
Just as Zhang Mu predicted, the flying dragon's knights had no idea about the anti-aircraft guns, and did not command the flying dragons to maneuver to avoid the gun lock, but dived towards the First Army's formation.
Then it crashed heavily into the "rope" formed by the flaming bullets in the air.
As the angle of the gun barrel was adjusted, the "rope" seemed to be swung by someone, moving horizontally in the sky, forming an arc.
All the flying dragons on the arc-shaped moving trajectory exploded into a ball of blood mist in an instant.
Oh, there were some who were lucky enough to be just brushed by the "rope", with only some broken limbs or other body parts remaining, before falling straight to the ground.
The Flying Dragon Cavalry Regiment was probably stunned by the sudden attack. It had already brought the First Army into range, but forgot to open its mouth to release the Dragon Flame.
The First Army was very happy. They had originally thought that there would be some losses, but now it seemed that they could defeat the Dragon Cavalry Regiment with zero casualties.
The driver in the driving seat turned his head and looked at his companion who was operating the turret: "Will you let me have some fun later?"
"Don't make a fuss. There are only about 300 flying dragons in total. We don't have enough to share."
"It's a pity."
“Come to think of it, aren’t they known as the most powerful flying dragon cavalry regiment in the Gangnuo Empire?
How come you can't even dodge when you're attacked?"
The driver suppressed his laughter. "Stupid, the Gangnuo Empire only has one flying dragon cavalry regiment. If not the strongest, what is it?"
"This……"
The gunner, realizing his mistake, became furious and fired bullets into the sky even more crazily.
300 flying dragons are not a small number, as evidenced by the fact that they can destroy a city overnight. The fact that the Gangnuo Empire has only accumulated this number in thousands of years since its founding is also proof of this.
However, compared with the anti-aircraft guns with terrifying firing rates, it is really not good enough.
The anti-aircraft guns' firepower network lasted for several minutes, and only a single digit of flying dragons remained in the sky. These knights were smart and immediately increased their altitude, using their companions' bodies to block the bullets, thus managing to escape.
Most of the flying dragons were not as lucky as them. Almost all of them were killed by bullets. Even if they were not seriously injured, they would be killed when they fell from the sky to the ground.
As for the knights on their backs, when they realized that the dragon had no hope of escape, they immediately abandoned the dragon and jumped into the air.
The selection criteria for the Dragon Cavalry Regiment's knights are the lowest senior knights. There is no need to worry about death if you fall directly to the ground from this height, at most you will suffer minor injuries.
If the flying dragon is compared to the fighter plane of Blue Star, then the knight is the fighter pilot.
According to international conventions, countries should prohibit shooting parachuting pilots, but unfortunately, there is no similar agreement on the continent of Thor.
The soldiers of the First Army knew that the professional level of the knights falling from the sky would definitely not be low. Although they were not very afraid of them because they had magical weapons, why would they risk engaging in hand-to-hand combat when they could easily eliminate the enemy in the sky?
The soldiers of the First Army ignored the fleeing dragons and turned their guns to fire at the free-falling knights.
Then balls of blood mist exploded in the sky like fireworks, revealing a hint of enchanting beauty.
The soldiers of the First Army, accustomed to brutal battles, paid no attention to the smell of blood in the air and focused on shooting the knights.
Finally, no complete person could be seen in the air, only the gradually dissipating blood mist.
"The battle is over, clean up the battlefield." The regiment commander gave the order, and the soldiers kept the anti-aircraft guns on standby to prevent the remnants of the escaped army from returning. The rest of the soldiers got off the vehicles and headed to the place where the Dragon Cavalry Regiment crashed.
They held guns and shot the knights who fell to the ground in various postures in the heads to prevent anyone from pretending to be dead.
After doing all this, they began to collect the relatively intact remains of the flying dragon.
When only the knights' corpses and the bloody flesh of the flying dragon were left in the vicinity, they turned around, loaded the wreckage onto the truck, and returned to Kedun City along the same route.
They did not withdraw from the front line. After they handed over the wreckage to the research institute, they had to continue fighting on the front line. After all, anti-aircraft guns were not only effective against flying dragons, but also against wizards and great knights as long as they were properly deployed.
On the way back, a driver was chatting with the gunner in the co-pilot seat.
"How does it feel to shoot a cannon?"
"good."
"How is that different from shooting a gun?"
"Well... because the maximum range exceeds the limit of vision, the aiming method is a little different."
"more specific."
"Let me think...if the enemy is hiding in the clouds, the anti-aircraft guns have the range to hit them, but I can't see the enemy and can't aim.
In this way, if the enemy discovers our weakness, it will be difficult to deal with the flying monster in the future, as it will definitely fly high to avoid our sight."
"Don't worry. I heard that the legion is training radar soldiers."
"Radar soldier?"
"They are soldiers who specialize in operating radar."
