In the Middle Ages, people drew cards to be promoted to nobility. - Chapter 742

“Lieutenant Colonel Robert, the command ship has sent a message asking us to raise the alert to level 2.”

The captain of a British steam airship is usually a lieutenant colonel, while the captain of a large surface ship is a colonel.

After all, although a steam airship is large and can carry more people, it cannot compare to a large surface ship. Colonel Brown is a special case.

“UFO?”

“Is Colonel Brown dazzled? Admiral George also let him mess around?”

Lieutenant Colonel Robert took the magic telegram and looked unhappy. Level 2 alert cannot be turned on at will. All the people on the ship must be mobilized and enter a state of war. During each exercise, the boiler workers must faint from exhaustion, and several of them must die from exhaustion.

Afterwards, the boilers must be shut down one by one and the ash must be cleaned up. This is a huge project.

For Robert and most British soldiers, North America is the back garden of the British Empire. There is no enemy in the sky here that can threaten them. In the whole world, only France and the German Federation have the technology of steam airships, not even Tsarist Russia.

Even they couldn’t quietly send a steam-powered airship across the Atlantic Ocean to North America. If they had the ability, they could have sent a large army to the enemy’s capital.

“Sir, are we going to prepare for war?”

“Are you disobeying orders?”

Lieutenant Colonel Robert cursed “idiot” unhappily, and subconsciously leaned over to the porthole to look out. Outside the heavy glass porthole, there were thick leaden clouds. It looked like a heavy rain would come soon.

“Send a message to the command ship to remind everyone to open the lightning protection array, and ask by the way, what exactly is the ‘possible’ enemy, the so-called UFO? It can’t be a dragon, right?”

Robert’s tone was a little sarcastic, and at the end, he couldn’t help laughing. The captain’s room was filled with a happy atmosphere, and people despised the fuss of a colonel who relied on his father’s relationship.

As for Lieutenant Colonel Robert’s joke? No one would take it seriously.

If it were the interior of North America, there might really be giant dragons, but this is the east coast of North America that was discovered two hundred years ago. How could there be giant dragons?

While joking, the steam airship under his feet suddenly shook violently, and then the light outside the porthole was quickly filled with darkness. It was a huge dark red, winding, sharp object, moving forward at an extremely slow speed.

Then, the golden eyes that were almost a circle larger than the entire porthole were revealed. The majestic vertical pupils swept across the entire ship with a terrifying pressure.

Robert opened his mouth subconsciously and wanted to shout out at the first time, but fear was like an invisible hand strangling his throat. He couldn’t say anything even if it was at the throat.

The entire captain’s room was terribly quiet.

Everyone stared with wide eyes, and someone stammered: “Dragon… It’s a giant dragon!”

The giant dragon suddenly flapped its wings and flew out of his sight.

In a trance, Lieutenant Colonel Robert seemed to see a trace of humanized ridicule on the face of the giant dragon.

Immediately afterwards, accompanied by a roar.

The huge steam airship seemed to be rubbed by the body of the giant beast, and the entire hull overturned to the other side. The people on the ship were spinning around, as if they were thrown into a windmill, desperately grabbing the objects around them to stabilize their bodies.

If you look from the outside, you can find that the dragon is gliding slowly to the side in an elegant and slow manner, but before it is about to leave the airship, it gently brushes it with its tail covered with scales and sharp bone spurs.

The next moment, the sharp spikes opened a narrow wound in the “belly” of the airship, and the violent airflow instantly pulled out the debris and human bodies inside the airship and threw them into the air.

Among them, Lieutenant Colonel Robert happened to be included.

Freed from the restraints of the armored airship, Robert finally had the opportunity to see the full body of the so-called “UFO”. It looked far smaller than the flagship “London” of the airship formation. The giant ship commanded by Colonel Brown was 250 meters long, equivalent to three Titanics.

Even his ship was 100 meters long, much longer than the dragon.

But it was a dragon!

Compared with the self-proclaimed “King of the Sky” of the airship army, it was the undisputed monarch of the sky for thousands of years.

Perhaps a round of bombing by steam airships was enough to kill a sleeping ancient dragon with white crystal bombs, but the problem now was that the entire airship formation did not install much anti-aircraft firepower at all.

“We are finished.”

The pessimistic mood did not have time to spread, and the terrifying sense of weightlessness and the biting cold wind at high altitude swallowed up all of Robert’s thoughts.

At the last moment when his consciousness disappeared, Robert vaguely saw the giant ship London open fire.

The shell exploded on Lothar’s scales, turning into a ball of sparks.

“Hmm, it’s a bit itchy.”

Lothar could actually dodge it, but he still deliberately took a shot to test its power.

The precedent of the unlucky Ladon being killed by the human army’s firepower made Lothar still have lingering fears about the destructive power of the human army in this era.

But now it seems that Ladon was so unlucky at the time because he was caught off guard and was hit by the enemy’s large-caliber artillery, unlike himself, who was only hit by the small cannon sticking out of the porthole of the giant airship.

“But even so, Ladon is good enough. It is said that Gulong gets stronger as he gets older. Ladon has provided counter evidence to this statement.”

Inside the London.

“Colonel Brown, our No. 3 turret is useless against that dragon!”

junior officers shouted anxiously.

Admiral George pushed aside the already panicked Colonel Brown and gave the order: “Pass my order to open the magic shield of the London and allow the surface ship’s anti-aircraft firepower to provide support. All spellcasters accompanying the army will immediately take off. The London is the face of the empire and must not be compromised!”

boom!

The violent explosion swept along with the shock wave, blowing the entire steam airship fleet to pieces. The two unlucky ships collided with each other. The bow of an airship specially equipped with a collision angle was like a It was inserted into the belly of another airship like a steel knife.

Not all steam airships can afford to install the magic shield. It is a patent for the flagship of the British aerospace fleet.

“Mr. Admiral, it was the York that exploded!”

Colonel Brown’s face was covered with sweat, and he was thinking about countermeasures anxiously: “Your Excellency, you can’t count on the anti-aircraft firepower of surface ships. We must save ourselves. That giant dragon has no enmity against us. Let’s just use a supply ship to attract its attention.” , the main force took the opportunity to leave?”

In this era, steam airships were still cutting-edge weapons, and no one had ever considered developing anti-aircraft weapons. The anti-aircraft guns of surface ships were not much better than those of the air fleet.

Admiral George sneered: “What do you think of the giant dragon? An imbecile and unintelligent beast? A hunting dog that will chase after you if you throw a piece of meat? That is at least an ancient dragon-level existence. How can you take a supply ship? Can cheat it.”

As he spoke, he ordered loudly: “But you reminded me, turn on the loudspeaker immediately, I want to have a good talk with this uninvited guest, I don’t believe that with the greedy and lazy character of the dragon, he will attack us for no reason. fleet.”

Even if the negotiation fails, time must be delayed.

As long as he was delayed until the military mages were ready for battle, he was just a giant dragon, and he had to be minced into pieces in front of the war machine of the British Empire.

By the way, aren’t those lunatics at Big Ben still considering building a so-called “keel giant ship”?

It’s just that it has been unable to find the vitality-rich dragon bones, so it has not been possible to build it.

This dragon must be qualified.

Lothar hurriedly flapped his wings to avoid the explosion of the ammunition depot.

The terrifying shock wave made even him feel a little dizzy. These steam airships were simply huge mobile ammunition depots, with no one knows how many bombs were packed inside.

At this time.

A voice suddenly sounded beside him: “Your Excellency the Dragon, I am the supreme commander of this fleet and a member of the Knights of the Garter of the British Empire, George Norrington. I wonder why you want to go to war?”

As the well-deserved overlord of the world, Great Britain is like a golden sign. Even the sleeping ancestors of the blood race, the demon monarch, and the wolf lord have to give three points to the British Empire.

Lothar just thought it was funny. Do you think I don’t recognize the “Union Flag”?

“Daying?”

The sound that came back made Admiral George breathe a sigh of relief.

It seems that the other party has also heard of Daying’s reputation, which leaves room for negotiation.

Of course, speaking of negotiations, Admiral George was not going to let go of the dragon that had destroyed and damaged at least three of his air ships, not to mention that the Royal Academy of Sciences also needed the dragon as research material.

But that was all an afterthought. The primary goal now was to stabilize the dragon to avoid causing greater damage to the fleet.

Unexpectedly, the next moment, the sarcastic voice from the opposite side reached his ears.

“The one I’m fighting is Daying.”

Immediately afterwards, the dragon’s throat turned red, the temperature in the air rose steadily, and the water vapor in the clouds was evaporated in an instant.

boom–

The red dragon flames, like a lightsaber sweeping across everything, crashed into the armor of the “London”.
