Chapter 817: Section 547: Walden Operation (Part 2)

·Your Excellency Malin, it’s starting to snow.

Following Jason’s prompt, Malin turned to look at the sky, where large snowflakes were falling.

"It’s snowing, we don’t have much time left."

Malin turned his body back, took a mask out of the small pouch on his waist, buckled it on his face, then tied the straps behind his neck.

"We’ve already caught sight of Waldin Town, on the horizon, we have enough time."

The Dwarven Tower Master behind him responded.

Malin looked towards Fio, the World Tree Sapling who had transformed into a little fairy, whose red long ribbon was wildly dancing with the wind.

"Northeast wind, level six, pay attention to adjusting the bombing angle, Quentin, lead your people to ascend with me."

After arranging tasks in the channel, Malin began to adjust his altitude.

In the virtual sandbox, the Dwarf Mages responsible for ground attacks started to level flight, and the four Mage Combat Groups charged with covering them began to move forward.

Tower Master Quentin was following Malin.

"The snow is thickening, visual target confirmation is getting difficult," the Dwarven Tower Master shouted loudly in the channel.

"Follow plan two, activate the coordinate pre-input function and faction recognition function on the goggles, and turn on the altitude alert of the combat engine." As the command was given, Malin had already spotted the dark dots above the distant town, they were gathering: "Quentin, you take care of the high-altitude cover, I’ll be responsible for leading the team to break through the Corrupted Flies’ interception."

"No, Your Excellency, let me do it," Quentin volunteered eagerly.

"You are too weak," Malin refused Quentin’s offer without hesitation and began to descend.

"I’m weak?!" The Mage Tower’s Tower Master glanced at his deputy, who looked at his Tower Master with a pitiful gaze: "By Your Excellency Malin’s standards, you are indeed too weak."

The Tower Master wanted to say something more, but his observer had already issued a warning: "Your Excellency Malin’s Spiritual Energy output has already broken through the maximum measuring unit of our observation instruments."

Quentin looked below, and around Malin, long spears made of ice and snow formed into a fearsome array.

"I... I am indeed too weak." Admitting one’s weakness is a painful thing, and looking at the scene below, all Quentin could do was to acknowledge this path as the only option.

The Corrupted Flies were approaching closer, and Quentin’s observer screamed out: "Breaking through two hundred heads!"

"Such a scene I’ve never witnessed before," Quentin’s deputy murmured to himself.

"Maintain formation, continue to ascend, our responsibility is the safety of the Combat Group, altitude is our best friend!"

......

"I’ve only seen this many Chaos flying units in history books," Meng Quyi muttered in the channel.

Malin began to lock onto targets with his goggles and with the help of Jason.

At the distance closing to a hundred yards, Malin launched all the ice spears, most of the Flies managed to dodge the trajectory of the ice spears with excellent flips, but the ice spears often burst open when approaching them, at least one-sixth of the Flies were shattered in their shell or wings were hit and fell, more Flies were wounded and couldn’t maintain altitude or lost speed.

Fio handed over its guided weapon set to Lorrin, it transformed into a shield, blocking before Malin, guiding him through the Fly formation.

The World Tree Saplings brought down at least seventeen Flies in the crossover.

After breaking through the defense line, Malin turned around, an instant Lightning Chain leaped from his hand, landed on the nearest Fly, then intense electricity jumped across all the Flies in that area in an instant, their shells began to crack, then caught fire, swathes of Flies fell to the ground in flames.

Tilting his head up to chug down an Arcane Potion, the Spiritual Sea was instantly filled, then immediately drained, the second Lightning Chain landed on the other side, where some Fly Riders were preparing to break through the Mage’s array in formation, hence the closely situated ones became the perfect targets for the Lightning Chain, in just a blink of an eye, at least forty Flies began plummeting.

Malin no longer attacked these minions, he turned his head, looking at the huge Fly that had risen from the town.

·Really big, like the bosses in horizontally scrolling Middle Ages video games from the late 20th century.

Jason’s snark made Malin laugh as he reached out his hand, Fio landed on it, this time it transformed into an armguard of appropriate size wrapping around Malin’s left forearm.

Melo handed over its weapon set to Mana, then it transformed into a sword hilt that fell in Malin’s right hand.

Malin handed the two 75 cannons to Mana and Lorrin, they began to take aim at each other.

At a distance of two hundred yards, the 75 cannons started firing, the World Tree Saplings pinning down the cannon, with the five-round salvos ultimately crossing with the soaring giant Fly.

·The fly’s speed is too fast, need to hasten by about five degrees, second round of firing prepare to begin.

Malin shared his Subspace ammunition storage coordinates, Lorrin and Mana simultaneously dragged out a clip from it, they loaded it onto the cannon.

At seventy yards, the second firing began, Lorrin’s four shells still didn’t catch up to the target, but the last one hit, making a hole in the Fly’s abdomen.

·Ordinary Armor-Piercing Bullets have no effect at all.

Mana’s five shots missed again, compared to the Armor-Piercing Bullet’s speed of about one kilometer per meter, the blessed holy silver salt high-explosive shells with only about seven hundred velocity were completely unable to keep up with the target.
