The Fourth Calamity never believed in the steel torrent!

Chapter 161 Seriously? The Cambrian Air Force is this weak?!

"Commander, on this note, is our air force capable of defeating the enemy's air force?"

Beside Andrei, a soldier squeezed through the crowd with great interest, taking turns watching the commotion outside with his comrades, and asked Andrei a question with some curiosity.

Upon hearing this question, Andrei was completely bewildered. How could he possibly know if his air force could defeat the enemy?

Honestly, he was a complete novice when it came to this.

After all, his mind was completely blank regarding the theories of this strange air combat, and it was the first time he had ever seen such outrageous air combat maneuvers.

Thinking of this, Andrei glanced at Yelena, who was silently praying beside him, and casually leaned over to ask:
"Yelena, tell me, who do you think can win between us and the enemy?"

Yelena opened her eyes, a determined look on her face, and looked at Andrei, saying:
"Of course it's us! I believe the Cambrian Empire's army will prevail!"

Andrei blinked.

Well, I guess I asked for nothing!

He was also hoping that Yelena could provide him with a professional analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of the two sides in the air battle.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. Yelena is a medical nun, not some ace air combat pilot. Why would she necessarily know about the air force?
Moreover, it's questionable whether the Cambrian Empire's own military even knows how to use an air force since the start of the war.

If they really knew how to use the air force, they wouldn't have been beaten to such a state by the enemy, right?
Just then, the soldiers on the other side burst into cheers again.

Hearing the commotion outside, Andrei was extremely anxious. There was only one observation mirror temporarily set up in the entire underground workshop, so he had no idea what was happening outside!
Thinking about this, Andrei suddenly became curious, wondering if he could shift his perspective to that of the player.

In many games, soldiers can see how their teammates are doing after they die. If I had such a function, I wouldn't have to rely on the chat area to analyze the battle situation.

He quickly opened the menu and checked the redeemable items, and actually found one:
[Player's Perspective: After redeeming, the developer can switch their perspective to any player within a small map area and gain that player's viewpoint!]

Wow, this project is great!
Although he can only switch to players within the small map area, which is within 300 meters, even so, Andrei is no longer completely in the dark. At least on the battlefield, his field of vision is much wider.

If used properly, he can even use players as human pathfinders, letting them help him launch a human scouting and assault.

The exchange price isn't cheap, but it's not particularly expensive either. 10,000 influence points are basically enough for Andre to buy things easily right now.

After exchanging a batch of items, he immediately shifted his focus to the nearest air defense position and saw what had happened.

It must be said that the Cambrian Empire's large airships had truly formidable firepower.

That thing is practically an aerial battleship!

A few shots can destroy the enemy's Void Shield on a medium-sized airship, and a single salvo can basically take down a medium-sized airship.

As of now, two medium-sized airships have caught a large fireball in the air and are slowly falling towards the ground.

Of course, the crashing airship also killed two unlucky players and knocked over an anti-aircraft position, causing those accidentally affected to curse loudly.

Upon seeing this, Andrei's face relaxed into a smile. Although he couldn't guarantee the final outcome would be as he predicted, it seemed the enemy's medium-sized airships were not much of a threat.

If this trend continues, wouldn't a few more shots be enough to destroy all the medium-sized airships on the other side?

But at this moment, an accident happened!
Andrei had a smile on his face a moment ago, but the next second, his smile froze.

He suddenly noticed that the Cambrian Empire's airship's void shield flickered a few times and then disappeared!
Are you kidding me?
This airship only took a few hits, how could it break down so quickly?

Compared to the Black Hawk Empire's Void Shield, the Cambrian Empire's Void Shield is far inferior in quality.

But Andrei didn't know that the difference between the Black Hawk Empire and the Cambrian Empire's Void Shield lay in how they used it.

The Black Hawk Empire has been training a large number of battle mages and developing magical technology. Therefore, their Void Shield is actually created by mages who inscribe deflection runes on array plates in advance, and then drive it with the help of pre-prepared magic crystals.

To put it bluntly, this thing from the Black Hawk Empire is purely powered by batteries and doesn't need to be driven by mages at all.

The combination of mechanization and batteries makes this thing extremely durable!

As long as the magic power is not exhausted, the Black Hawk Empire's void shield can be maintained indefinitely.

In comparison, the Cambrian Empire's Void Shield is much simpler and more direct, as their Void Shield is entirely driven by mages themselves.

Leaving aside the question of how many mages the Cambrian Empire actually had, and how many of them knew this spell and were willing to participate in the war.

Simply put, a mage's stamina is far inferior to that of a machine!

When a mage uses this shield to continuously take hits from cannonballs, not only will their magic power be greatly depleted, but their mental energy will also be constantly consumed.

Even if they quickly take drugs, they won't last long and will soon be defeated.

So despite the Cambrian Empire's large size, its protective capabilities are actually not that strong!
Once such a large airship loses the protection of the Void Shield, it basically has no defensive capabilities.

The Black Hawk Empire's airships only needed a few shots to turn the Cambrian Empire's airships into burning fireballs.

Watching helplessly as a giant airship nearly 200 meters long descended from the sky, Andrei, through the player's perspective, truly experienced what it meant for the sky to fall.

It wasn't just Andrei who felt like the sky was falling; the other Cambrian soldiers felt the same way!
Are you kidding me? !

The situation was so favorable just a moment ago, how did the enemy manage to destroy our capital ship in an instant?

After the large airship was destroyed, the remaining Cambrian Empire airships retreated without hesitation, without any delay.

It seems they felt they had no chance of winning and that if they didn't retreat, they might not be able to escape!
After seeing this, Andrei felt that this battle was truly hopeless; the gap between the two sides was simply too great.

No, he felt he had to unlock the Air Force as soon as he had the chance!
Once he gets the player's plane out, he immediately lets the player fly the plane and crash into it!

He refused to believe it. Could that kind of void shield really withstand a plane crashing into it?
