Chapter 566: No-Fly Zone

Chapter 559 – No Fly Zone

Unfortunately, every Golden Shield magic airship needs to spend a huge amount of wealth, and need to use the legendary mages and a large number of senior spell casters, so even if you get the support of many forces of the Holy Shield, every construction of a long time will be a meat pain, in addition to the real combat how, in fact, they do not have a number in mind, and ultimately only built four, respectively, to become the seat of the four ministers.

Later, with the continuous simplification, so the Silver Shield, Copper Shield, Iron Shield appeared one after another.

The Silver Shield was a simplified version of the Golden Shield, no longer blindly pursuing the high standards of the Divine Shield, but rather pursuing the best cost-effective, and thus became the escort ship of the Divine Shield and Golden Shield class ships, and also the main ship of each branch.

The Copper Shield is a versatile ship that can be converted into a support ship, a bombardment ship, and a transportation ship, and does not require high performance, as long as it can get by, it is a good value for money.

The Iron Shield is a small strike ship, not strong, but is the most commonly used by first-line combatants, but also the most favorite, after all, it is not bad to have to use.

The Silver Shield that Harvey was looking at was built just three months ago, and was deployed directly to the Northland Division, and was remodeled according to their comments.

The Silver Shield is said to be a frigate, but in fact it is even bigger than the Divine Shield, one hundred and twenty meters long and forty meters wide, this is to make up for the fact that the interior does not use the space expansion technology as a desperate measure, and it is the only way to accommodate three hundred people for a long period of time.

But it is only a garrison, it needs to be regularly resupplied and rotated, otherwise there will be problems.

There is no way, although the size of the Silver Shield ship is large, but the artillery, ammunition, reserves, equipment, these alone occupy a lot of space, leaving little room for maneuver, crowded with three hundred people is already the limit, a long time, I’m afraid that people will go crazy.

In addition because of the use of splicing magic wood keel, the structural strength of the hull is limited, can not be equipped with crash horns, defense also relies on the temporary opening of the high-level boundary, once broken, not much sturdier than the wooden sailing ship.

Weapons and equipment is also poor, mainly rely on both sides of the hull loaded with sixteen 100mm smoothbore cannons and machine guns, the cabin also holds some aerial bombs, because of the load and other issues, the number is not a lot.

Despite its shortcomings, the ship was cheap and had a good deterrent effect, so it had been built continuously since it was finalized.

Right now this Silver Shield ship removed the aerial bombs and strengthened the command aspect of the modification, and these relative to the technology has matured Sacred Shield did not waste much time, and soon this fully loaded magic airship sailed to the Northlands.

Jonathan, who had just been appointed as the Northlands Sub-Minister, stood on the bridge and kept giving orders, adjusting the course at the same time to speed up the crew’s familiarity with the new ship, but his heart was not as calm as it appeared to be.

As an ace member of the Sacred Shield who was also from the same territory, Jonathan was Harvey’s well-deserved beloved general, so this time he was specially appointed as the Northland Sacred Shield Sub-Minister, but the pressure on him could not be small.

Branch in addition to a branch minister, under the intelligence group, incarceration group, medical group, action group, support group, logistics group, equipment group, sealing group and so on a series of group leader, it can be said that the rights of the branch minister all rely on the lining of these group leaders, if it is hollowed out, then he can not do anything as a branch minister.

The good thing is that he brought a few close men with the new recruitment of a group of newcomers, but not so passive, really can not with the territory to play a game, I believe that the disappearance of two or three group leader is still no problem, and then promote their own people on the throne. “North City no-fly zone ahead, left full rudder, slow down and prepare to go around.” When the red circle was displayed on the crystal ball, Jonathan immediately gave the order to go around.

The no-fly zone only appeared after the appearance of magic airships, in the past, the means of flight was not as exaggerated as today, and there was no magic airships that carried large flying vehicles with heavy firepower, so after the appearance of the magic airships, the major cities had divided the no-fly zone, and developed their own flying vehicles and means of defense and control.

It can be said that because of the existence of the territory, coupled with the influence of the expanding, the entire main world style has begun to become very different from the other realms, two low-level mages dueling when the first to pull out the gun and shoot each other quickly into the norm, after all, compared to the tedious spell casting, build a gun to the other side of the head is obviously more simple and efficient, so a hand holding a sword in one hand with a gun have become the standard for mages.

Because steering would cause the ship to shift, the sound of reminders began to ring out from within, and the people on the ship knew that they had arrived at the northern city.

The personnel on the Silver Shield had still heard about North City, and the vast majority of them had never seen the city that was called the Pearl of the North, so many of the personnel who were not at their posts ran to the deck to see it.

After years of expansion, North City has become a super city capable of accommodating millions of people, and as the core of this along the North Boundary River continuously extends a number of satellite towns, endless well fields as a connection, forming in the Northland unimaginable prosperous place.

Even members of the Sacred Shield, who had seen a lot, had rarely seen such a spectacular city, and even if they had, because of obsolescence and pollution, it looked very dilapidated, unlike the city in front of them, which was full of power and vitality.

“It’s so beautiful, it’s a pity that our station is not here.” A female member who was dressed with great care despite wearing a uniform said with some regret.

“Hehe, the Northern Honor Union is notoriously xenophobic, it would be good enough for them to allow Sacred Shield to rebuild the famous and insubstantial Northland branch, how could they possibly allow us to place our station in the core North City.” Another young male who obviously knew more snorted and said, not knowing whether he was mocking the woman’s naivety or laughing at the Northern Honor Alliance’s conservatism.

Just as these people were chatting idly, dozens of fighters flew up from the airbase outside of the northern city, as if to greet them, but also as if they were wary, and clamped down on the Silver Shield as it turned and flew to the north of the territory.

Because of their proximity, they were even able to see the pilots in the cockpits, attracting quite a few onlookers, and it seemed that it was human nature to watch the action.

“It’s a flying machine unique to the Glory Alliance, it’s said that it doesn’t use any magic, I really don’t know how it flies.” This was a member of the logistics group, upon seeing the dozens of airplanes, the interested one immediately associated it with the description in the intelligence.

Unfortunately, the Northlands, especially the Glory Alliance, could be called a forbidden place for intelligence officers, the death rate was simply too high, so the intelligence that could be obtained was very little, and these were the ones that came from the Border City Alliance.

“It’s driven to fly by something constantly spinning in the front, the two large wings are to keep it stable in the air currents, a very subtle design.” The one who opened his mouth wore the alchemist’s mark, and thus represented authority as soon as he opened his mouth, causing the surrounding people to agree all the time.

“I don’t care how it flies, but I recognize the machine guns below, all crew members take their positions and load their ammunition, but absolutely do not allow to fire first or make an attacking movement, wait for orders at all times.” The first mate who hurriedly came immediately drove back the crowd on the deck, all gathered on the deck, really not afraid of capsizing, and facing the machine gun still dare to argue here, really do not know how they passed the training.
