In the early morning, a light just appeared in the misty sky. Novel.

Most people are still sleeping at this moment, but in the newly opened take-off and landing grounds outside Glow City, the guards and ground crews have been busy for a long time. They are rushing around both ends of the runway in the cold spring breeze, and the lining is long wet by the fine sweat that has been leached.

Aircraft were dragged out of the warehouse and pulled to the end of the runway. The final loading, loading and inspection work has come to an end.

In the barracks next to the take-off and landing field, Tilly gathered all the air knights with practical experience together.

After several rounds of enrollment expansion and the teaching method of using old to lead new ones, the number of people who can go to the battlefield has now exceeded 100, and there are twice as many students who are undergoing close training. At this point, the "new army" independent of the ground forces has become vaguely formed.

In the previous desperate mountain range blocking battle, although the plane suffered a lot, the chance of the pilots surviving was not low compared to infantrymen, and it was difficult for them to get rid of the devil's pursuit. Once they encountered it, it would be a bloody battle. Even if the Tianhuo lost its combat capability, it could quickly leave the battlefield by relying on gliding.

Therefore, whether it is shot down by the enemy or falling due to mechanical failure, as long as it is not too bad luck, experienced pilots can basically stick to a suitable emergency landing area.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that the biplane is not very fast, has good natural lift, and the devil's spear lacks the ability to kill one-hit attack.

These factors have made the entire team mature at an extremely fast pace.

"You should know the details of this mission very clearly." Tilly hugged her hands and slowly walked through the front row of the team like the soldiers about to go to the battle. She was also wearing a thick windproof combat uniform, with long gray hair tied behind her head, and a blue belt, which looked neat and energetic. "Break through the enemy's defense line and throw the bomb into the hinterland of the floating fortress, just like the contents of training a few days ago."

"But this time the airspace you are flying is no longer in the outskirts of Glow City, but above the heads of the enemy fortress. Those who intercept you will not be the academy students, but the terrifying beasts and high-level devils."

"Your Highness!" Someone suddenly raised his hand in the team.

"explain."

“Isn’t that easier?”

The speaker was Good, which caused a low burst of laughter.

Tilly also raised the corner of her mouth. She did not object to this "arrogant" dialogue. Instead, on the eve of her battle, her high-pitched fighting spirit helped everyone relieve their tension.

What's more, Goode has achieved the record of killing twelve terror beasts, so he is not too arrogant to say this.

"At first glance, but the high-level devil behind the terror beast is still an opponent that cannot be ignored. I hope you can come back alive to prove this." Tilly changed her mind when she said this, "In addition, I must emphasize that the floating land is very active and breaking into the central area means that the surrounding area is the territory of the devil, and the consequences of the forced landing there can be imagined. Therefore, this operation should try to avoid accidents and bet on the idea of ​​being inserted into a spear by the devil in exchange for the result of the killing. I ask you to throw it behind for the moment. Do you understand!"

"As for your order, Your Highness!"

"Very good, then the next step is to arrange the people assigned to the Sky Wrath to take on the bomb drop work of this mission."

As soon as these words came out, all the Sky Knights raised their ears.

The Skywreck is the first batch of improved models of the Skywreck. It has a more compact fuselage and a glass roof with an additional circle of glass covers on the cockpit. Not only does it have a more beautiful appearance than the Skywreck, but its performance has also been greatly improved. The most critical change comes from the new star engine and external weapon system. The former is a deteriorated version of the Phoenix engine, with power limited to a lower level and is not equipped with a supercharger to meet the production level of the assembly line. The latter can be determined by the task, including cannons and bombs, etc.

The first batch of Ten Sky Fury that left the factory has been transported here by ships. They are the core of the air strike rehearsal. Whoever can fly the new plane is undoubtedly the best recognized by the Princess.

Tilly paused for a moment before taking out the list, "According to the plan, these ten aircraft will be divided into two formations, protected by the corresponding escort crew, and the captain of the first team is Good."

"Good received the order!"

Everyone cast envious eyes. As the Air Knight member with the best record, his selection was undisputed.

"The captain of the second team is Manfold."

The latter was slightly stunned, and after a while he realized, "Your Highness, did you choose me?"

"Is there a second Manfold here?" Tilly raised her eyebrows.

"Yes, yes! I will receive the order!"

Manfold responded overjoyed.

This also caused a low whisper to the team. Compared with most experienced Sky Knights, he has only a handful of records in the battle, and is purely a newcomer. In the previous desperate mountain blocking battle, his record was not outstanding, just one shot down. Although he performed well in daily training, his team leader was really beyond everyone's expectations.

Tilly knew that this newcomer had a strong talent, which was not only reflected in flying the plane, but also in fierce battles. In terms of flying skills, Manfold Castein could rank among the top ten in the team, but in terms of combat sense, he far surpassed others.

In the air battle between the mountains, only she noticed that Manfold's landline had been wandering in the weakest position of the team, driving away the enemy troops trying to insert from here several times, and completely liberating her Phoenix. Whether it was covering up the attack of a teammate or removing danger for her teammates, the opponent would always appear in the most needed position.

This is by no means an easy thing to do. The battle situation in the air changes rapidly, and most people can only pay attention to the situation of themselves and the wingman. This is also the reason why the flight formation needs to be subdivided as much as possible. In the fierce battle, there is still spare energy to examine the overall situation and capture an efficient entry point. This keenness and vision have gone beyond the flight itself.

Compared to Goode, who has outstanding personal skills, Manfold's advantage lies in his team, so perhaps he hasn't even discovered his true talent.

In fact, after the end of the blocking war, Tilly immediately checked the detailed archives of this person. The origin of the Knight family can explain where his qualities come from, but it is interesting that such a knight failed to regain the body and strength of the declined family Manfold, which restricted his performance in close combat. If it was a one-on-one contest, she suspected that Carter could knock down the other party with one hand.

But the roaring engines and cannons now do not care about the strength of the driver. With the power of the biplane, the vast sky is obviously the area that suits him to play.

Tilly didn't tell her reason for choosing. She believed that as long as she went through a few more battles, Manfold and others would naturally notice this.

After explaining the list of the two crew members, she looked up at the location of the sun and then issued an action order.

Under the command of the flag, the Phoenix was the first to slide across the runway and rise to the sky. The golden light reflected a dazzling halo on its iron wings.

Following closely behind was the Seagull after the first crashed, and Anna quickly made a second one as it was. For her, this kind of practice makes perfect.
