Chapter 1504: Chapter 875: The Deadly Threat in the City Sky_1 Chapter 1504: Chapter 875: The Deadly Threat in the City Sky_1 “From the sky?”

Upon hearing the shock and horror in Bianca White’s words, Leo Ray instantly looked up, following her gaze.

Off to the west of the burning city, directly above the main battlefield on the city wall, countless red dots were slowly forming in the night sky.

The entire sky was filled with blinking red lights, just like pairs of demon eyes staring down at the burning lands and city.

“What are those things?!”

Ariel Watson’s eyes widened in surprise as she stared at the deep red specks approaching slowly through the black night, unable to hold back her question.

Though she couldn’t see clearly, a sense of extreme unease began to rise from within the heart of Princess Cold Flame.

As soon as Ariel’s voice trailed off, Leo Ray’s mental communication sounded with urgency.

As soon as they connected, Curio’s anxious voice immediately came through.

“Lord, a large number of heavy airships have appeared in the sky, no less than fifty! The enemy must have used some sort of wide-area invisibility illusion, allowing the airship fleet to suddenly appear!”

Curio paused for a moment before adding, “I can even see clearly that underneath these airships, there are large bomb bays. They’re all military-type combat airships!”

“Combat airships with bomb bays? Fifty of them…”

Leo Ray slowly took a deep breath, feeling a chill spread through his body.

He had studied the use of airships in battle long ago, but it was still difficult to implement in his territory.

One reason was that ordinary airships had limited movement speed and flight altitude, basic defense mechanisms, and were made of common materials, making them easily shot down and lacking proper maneuverability.

Second, the Coldflame Kingdom, including the neighboring Saint Night Kingdom, lacked a mature combat airship system and even lacked a proper framework.

It was difficult to construct airship harbors, find suitable technical soldiers for daily maintenance and docking, and especially coordinate logistics to support long-distance battles.

After all, airships were among the few sophisticated magical technologies in this world, and without proper maintenance facilities, they could not take off normally.

Besides, constructing a complete military air harbor was a slow, protracted process.

Third, the issue of fueling airships with magic mineral crystals and powering them with elite mages.

The Coldflame Kingdom’s airship magic mineral crystals could barely meet the daily needs of the royal family, nobles, and some civilian airships. There was no way to support the fuel consumption of a combat airship fleet.

“In summary, although I knew that airships, functioning like bombers, would play a significant role, it was impossible to form a sizable military fleet in the short term due to the lack of necessary conditions.”

“As for why the Coldflame Royal Family and Saint Night Royal Family didn’t value this powerful weapon, I’ve investigated.”

“For one, airship technology has only risen in the past few decades, and most nations’ technology is still immature.”

“Second, for conservative nobles and royal families, they didn’t think highly of this new development.”

“After all, compared to the sky knights that everyone revered and represented the nobles’ authority, anyone could learn and pilot this technology, evidently causing these privileged individuals to lose the prestige and privileges granted by the sky knights.”

At this thought, Leo Ray furrowed his brow with seriousness.

He hadn’t expected that the powerful weapon he had always wanted would appear within the enemy’s ranks, posing a lethal threat to himself.

“Difficult-to-deal-with combat airships?”

Hearing Leo Ray’s words, Ariel’s face too displayed shock.

Unlike most of the conservative royal family and nobles, the progressive Fifth Princess Ariel naturally had a good understanding of this new advancement, the airship.

“In the human nations, the countries with the most advanced airship technology are the Grimm Kingdom to the west of the Coldflame Kingdom, and the Ironhand Archipelago across the sea from it. I didn’t expect them to show up here…”

Amidst her amazement, Ariel stared at the dense red dots in the sky and blurted out her thoughts.

“Don’t forget that the Black Duke, a powerful vampire, could very likely be from the Ironhand Archipelago. With that in mind, it’s not surprising that airships would appear here.”

Leo Ray frowned and nodded thoughtfully, “It seems that this is the lethal trump card the Black Duke mentioned earlier.”

“But, my Lord, on the western border of the Coldflame Kingdom lies the immense Sunset Fortress, which is on par with the Unfallen Fortress. It has a perfect high-altitude minefield and anti-aircraft magic corps, not allowing the enemy to cross the border by even an inch. Not even invisibility would help them.”

Still wearing a shocked expression, Ariel wondered, “How did the enemy manage to cross the border and appear thousands of miles away on this side?”

“Princess, I believe the enemy might have used an assembly method,” Sarah Shawn pondered for a moment before responding, “A little over a year ago, when I was still an ordinary mercenary, I spent some time in a town near the Sunset Fortress.”
