Chapter 559: Coming Out of Nowhere
Unknown air force?

An extremely large number?

When these two pieces of news reached Lieutenant General Stonen Kogen, the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Air Force, he was already at a loss. Because this air force did not come earlier or later, but chose to come when they were in a mess. He did not believe that there was no trickery in this. He was afraid that this air force came with bad intentions, and good people would not come.

"Order."

Lieutenant General Shi Dun realized that there was no time to hesitate, so he made a prompt decision: "Let the patrol formation warn the enemy air force not to enter the Ropes airspace, otherwise we will not rule out the use of force to forcibly interfere."

There was a pause.

Shi Dun's eyes flashed with deep helplessness: "If the enemy ignores our warnings and insists on attacking Ropus City, let the patrol formation swear to stop them. At the same time, it is forbidden to tell the patrol formation about the situation on the ground. Just tell them that the support troops from the headquarters will arrive later."

"General, isn't this a bit..."

"Follow orders, soldiers. The Empire needs them to give their all now."

"Yes, General."

Shi Dun watched the soldiers go away and sat dejectedly in a chair.

As an air force commander, who would let his subordinates go to die unless it was absolutely necessary?

However, he adjusted himself from this decadent moment in less than a minute. As an air force commander, he knew that now was not the time to sigh and he had to report the situation here to the commander-in-chief.

"guard!"

Shi Dun shouted at the door. After another soldier came in, he immediately issued a second order: "Go to the headquarters and report to Commander Foster that an unknown air force is attacking us. I'm afraid they are not friendly. Ask him to sound the air defense alarm as soon as possible and let the army and civilians take refuge in the air-raid shelter. I will also do everything I can to get the air force into the air as soon as possible."

"in addition."

Shi Dun's eyes flashed with anger as he said, "Let the Air Force Marines provide cover. We will take care of every ship we can get. We must organize a certain combat capability within an hour. We are responsible for the safety of Ropus City and the entire central empire."

"Yes, General."

Shi Dun has done everything he can. The only thing he can do next is to do his best and leave the rest to fate. If he can quell the chaos in the airport as soon as possible, there may be a glimmer of hope.

Unlike Stone's optimism, Foster was completely desperate.

"I see."

Foster closed his cloudy eyes but murmured to himself, "My eyes only saw the threat in front of me, but I didn't notice the danger from behind. It turns out that the safest fortress is decaying from the inside. I lost this battle sincerely. There is no such thing as a city that will never fall in this world, hahahaha."

There was helplessness deep in his tone.

Foster did think that he had cut off all ties with the North and could rest easy with his huge air force, but he did not expect that this was simply an act of covering up the truth. Not only did it not hinder the enemy, but it made him ignore the safety of the rear, and he lost the opportunity because of his complacency.

"Commander, we have identified the enemies in the city."

The head of the reconnaissance team suddenly burst into the door and said breathlessly: "It is a dark organization that suddenly rose up this year and fought against the Imperial Capital's Judgment System without losing. Their leader is unknown, but judging from the current situation, this force is probably a pawn planted by the Holy Dynasty in the Imperial Capital."

"The Imperial Capital..."

Foster opened his eyes, a look of deep regret: "It's impossible to guard against it, impossible to guard against it. In our safest rear area, there is actually an enemy chess piece buried. I was able to force this chess piece out in advance. Should I be happy or sad?"

"Order!"

At this point, Foster no longer regretted his actions in vain, but issued the latest order: "Sound the air raid sirens, and let the army and civilians take shelter in the air-raid shelters. If our air force cannot take off in time, I'm afraid this city will face a carpet-style magic bombing."

————Front line, Ropes City airspace.

Five patrol airships were suspended in the air in an inverted cone shape, watching the huge air formation in the distance from afar without retreating a single step.

“Send them a warning sign.”

The captain of the patrol team received orders from his superiors and began to warn Vega's formation not to enter the airspace of Ropes, otherwise they would not rule out the use of force to stop this behavior.

"Captain, the enemy is not responding and is accelerating."

The captain's forehead was covered with cold sweat. "Everyone, get ready for battle. Our superiors require us to stop the enemy. Our reinforcements will be here soon."

"Captain, are the higher-ups kidding me?"

The team members' voices began to tremble. "Looking at the number of the enemy, there are at least three standard aviation corps. The superiors want us, a small patrol formation, to block three standard aviation corps of the enemy? What kind of joke is this? I'm afraid we can't even hold out for a minute!"

"calm."

The captain could only bite the bullet and say, "Perhaps reinforcements are coming soon. Send another warning signal. Every minute we can delay will give us a minute's chance of survival."

"Yes, Captain."

The team member sent a warning signal to Vega's formation again with a sad tone.

After the signal was sent, this time the Dynasty's fleet no longer had no response. Since the Imperial Army's patrol airship was already within the range of magic, the Dynasty's airship retaliated with more than a dozen flame explosions.

Boom boom boom——

Under the effect of the magic enhancement device, the power of the flame explosion increased exponentially. These dozen flame explosions directly broke the wind defense shield of the enemy airship. The first four airships in the inverted cone were completely destroyed, leaving only a lonely flagship floating in the air, which looked quite desolate compared to the three standard air forces of the dynasty.

"Captain, Captain, all the other airships are finished."

Cold sweat oozed from the team members' foreheads. "What should we do next? The enemy requires us to remove the wind defense shield and surrender, otherwise they will attack again. If the enemy attacks again, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold on for even a second."

"Order."

A flash of determination flashed across the captain's eyes: "Launch an attack on the enemy's vanguard formation."

"Captain, are you serious?"

"Don't forget our mission."

"Yes, Captain, for victory and for the glory of the empire!"

The team member saluted the captain, then turned to look at the other team members: "Everyone, attack!"

boom!
With the determination to die, the flagship launched its first and also last attack.

But it was ultimately a futile struggle. As soon as the flagship showed magical fluctuations, it was detected by the dynasty army's war airship. So at that moment, magic poured out like rain of fire, and the empire's last patrol airship disappeared in the dark night sky.

just now.

The last stumbling block has been destroyed, and the sky of Ropus City -

No longer part of the Empire.
