A Core Ship From The Start - Chapter 1306 - Chapter 1306 Chapter 881 Air Force

Chapter 1306: Chapter 881: Air Force Chapter 1306: Chapter 881: Air Force Enisphia originally thought that Duanmu Huai would not let Yuriya go to the battlefield.

However……….

“Do you want to go? It’s up to you.”

Duanmu Huai gave Enisphia an answer she had not expected at all.

“Wait, Sir Judge, is that really okay?”

“As far as I’m concerned? No, if you’ve come to join the war, naturally you’d go to the battlefield, wouldn’t you?”

“But, it’s very dangerous…”

“Isn’t that obvious?”

Duanmu Huai rolled his eyes at Enisphia.

“War is just like that. She could die, you could also die, anyone could die. Whether you are a beggar, a farmer, or a princess, a young lady, after death aren’t you all just corpses in the mud, waiting to decay and rot into dry bones? Or do you think you’ll glow after you die?”

“I have already decided, Your Highness Anisphere.”

Just as Enisphia was rendered speechless by Duanmu Huai’s retort, Yuriya had also made up her mind and spoke.

“As the next Queen Consort, as the daughter of a Duke, my visit to the battlefield is to offer my strength.”

“Miss Yuriya……..”

Hearing Yuriya’s response, Enisphia was at a loss for words, but she quickly shook her head and then looked at Duanmu Huai again.

“So, what should we do?”

“Why don’t you take her with you? Your broom can seat two people, can’t it? Or are you suggesting she rides on my back?”

“Uh… it’s better if I do it.”

Hearing this, Enisphia decisively backed off, as Yuriya was after all her brother’s fiancee. Even in combat, it was not proper for her to be in such close contact with another man.

“But what exactly do we need to do? Just wait for flying Demon Beasts to come and then fight them?”

Even though Enisphia could fly, air combat was also quite unfamiliar to her. Duanmu Huai thought for a moment, then looked at the two of them.

“Can you use wide-range magic attacks?”

“How could I possibly do that?”

“I can.”

Enisphia and Yuriya spoke one after the other, and hearing Yuriya’s response, Duanmu Huai raised an eyebrow and looked at her.

“You can? To what extent?”

“If given enough time, I can use magic powerful enough to destroy an entire army.”

“Will it take a long time?”

“If it’s during combat…….”

Yuriya silently did some calculations.

“About five breaths.”

Building up energy for a big attack, huh.

Duanmu Huai remembered that Zhenjiling had previously reported that some Magic Users had also seen Elf Magic, which was characterized by its powerful strength but slow casting speed, unlike the Human Magic System which is almost instant.

To put it simply, whereas magic like barriers would require chanting and praying before unfolding, taking several seconds of preparation with Elf Magic,
the Human Magic System would deploy instantly, without any casting time at all.

Of course, to Duanmu Huai, the Human Magic System seemed stronger, as in the end, in martial arts, nothing beats speed. If your casting is interrupted, wouldn’t it be a waste?

Five breaths is not long, but it’s critical in combat.

But since it’s the air force…..

“Come with me, I was planning to go out and check the situation and also to introduce you to our fighting method.”

As Duanmu Huai spoke, he unfolded the jet backpack behind him, while Enisphia hesitated for a moment but then picked up her broom as well, and after Yuriya got on the broom with her, the two of them leaped up and flew into the air.

“Wow———-”
Riding the broom and looking at the scenery below, even Yuriya was astonished. As a human, she had the dream of flying like a bird, but knew it was unattainable. Therefore, when she was really flying in the sky, Yuriya was truly amazed.

However, despite the amazement, she still clung tightly to Enisphia’s waist, because if she fell from here, even she would only have one outcome: death.

Even so, Yuriya looked at Enisphia.

“Is this also one of Your Highness Anisphere’s inventions?”

“That’s right, how is it? Impressive, isn’t it?”

“Yes, I never imagined that such wonders that even magic cannot conceive of could be created…….”

As she marveled, Yuriya looked at Duanmu Huai beside her.

“Is that Great Judge using the same method?”

“That……..”

Hearing Yuriya’s question, Enisphia was also a bit puzzled, while Duanmu Huai turned his head to glance at her, then returned his gaze.

“Simply put, the theory is similar, but it’s somewhat different from the magic you use.”

“I see…….”

“Alright, let’s not talk about these mundane things for now, first let me explain our duties.”

Duanmu Huai stopped, and Enisphia also floated beside him, watching him intently.

“First of all, our main task is scouting.”

“Indeed…….”

Looking up towards the front, Yuriya nodded her head.

“In such high skies, we can see much farther and clearer than ground scouts, and can perceive abnormalities around us much sooner than the army below. If there is a Demon Clan and Demon Beast army ahead, we can notify them in advance to prepare.”

“Then comes the attack.”

Duanmu Huai pointed towards the open space in front of them.

“Assume a large group of Demon Beasts is coming from the front, how do we attack?”

“This…”

“Umm…”

Staring in the direction pointed out by Duanmu Huai, Enisphia and Yuriya both fell into thought, but Duanmu Huai quickly provided the answer.

“Actually, the answer is simple. As I said before, Yuriya, just conjure a powerful magic and smash it down there.”

“Eh?”

Yuriya was shocked by what Duanmu Huai said.

“But that kind of magic needs some time to prepare…”

“And what about it? We’re in the air, the ground Demon Beasts are formidable, but they can’t fly, can they?”

“Ah…”

Only now did Yuriya realize it. She carefully looked at the ground, then again at her surroundings.

“Indeed…if we’re in the air, there’s no worry about magic getting disrupted…could this be the reason why the Demon Clan can defeat humans?”

“One of the reasons. You clearly realize it now. As long as the opponent can’t fly, you’re in an invincible position. Even if they can shoot arrows, you just need to increase your altitude. Then, in front of you, they are just live targets. You can do as you wish: attack if you want to, flee if you prefer.”

Saying this, Duanmu Huai made a gesture.

“So remember, if you detect a Demon Clan and Demon Beast army ahead, what you should do is fly over and bombard them with magic until they lose the ability to resist. After that, the ground army can advance and ultimately exterminate these monsters.”

“What about you, Great Judge?”

“Me? I’m primarily responsible for aerial combat. After all, the Demon Clan can fly, and unlike Yuriya, I can’t use magic for large-scale destruction, so the flying Demon Clan are my targets. Do you understand now?”

Duanmu Huai’s role was clear. Enisphia + Yuriya equated to bombers, and he was the escort fighter. The former was responsible for carpet bombing, while the latter for escort and dogfighting.

“But…even if we discover the enemy, how do we report back to the army behind?”

At this moment, Yuriya posed her own question.

“Should we fly back to report?”

“Sure, if you’d like to fly back to report, it’s fine, but I have a more convenient method.”

While speaking, Duanmu Huai took out a rectangular black iron block from his bosom and passed it over. Enisphia took it curiously and saw that it had five buttons on it, with four of the buttons on the top, bottom, left, and right, and the last button in the middle.

“What is this?”

“Signal marker.”

While speaking, Duanmu Huai took out another similar device and pressed it towards the front. To the girls’ surprise, they saw an enormous and distinctly bright “!” appear out of thin air.

Even from the ground, this mark could be clearly seen!

“This is…?”

“This is the signal. If you encounter enemy forces, just press this, equating to pointing out the exact location and presence of the enemy to our army.”

“I see… Then what about the other marks?”

“‘?’ means there were enemies there before, but it’s unclear if they’re still there, so put a ‘?’ to make the Legion be cautious. ‘X’ means that the force is done for, they’ve been taken down, no hope left. ‘|’ indicates the force is being besieged and needs support.”

“I see.”

Enisphia and Yuriya were not fools. They quickly understood how to use this thing, and couldn’t help but feel impressed. They knew very well what it means for such a device to appear on the swiftly changing battlefield. It meant that the commander could effortlessly grasp everything on the field, enemy or ally; everything was transparent before the commander!

“I have already explained this to all Legion commanders and responsible officers, whether they look or not is their business. As I’ve said, if they’re foolish enough to ignore our signals, that’s their own problem.”

“Um… So, Great Judge…what does this skull in the middle mean?”

Looking at Duanmu Huai, Yuriya asked cautiously, and Duanmu Huai gazed back at her.

“That represents the danger signal of encountering the Demon Clan. You too, if you encounter a Demon Clan that you feel is very dangerous and unbeatable, send out the signal immediately and then turn and run. If you are foolish enough to fight an enemy that could easily kill you, then that’s your own problem.”

“…”

Hearing Duanmu Huai’s response, Enisphia and Yuriya couldn’t help but take a sharp breath.

The Demon Clan.

Humans’ strongest, most terrifying enemy. They had nearly driven humanity to extinction several times, and in fact, even now, humans are still on the brink of extinction. Rumors frequently emerged from various places about the Demon Clan wiping out human cities and villages.

Just how powerful is the Demon Clan?

It’s difficult for anyone to say clearly. Adventurers tend to encounter the Demon Clan more often, but their chances of returning alive are also lower. The Demon Clan can fly and are capable of using magic that humans can’t decipher or understand.

Even Enisphia and Yuriya had only heard rumors about the Demon Clan and had never truly faced them.

“Great Judge, what exactly is the Demon Clan?”

Yuriya hesitated for a moment before looking up at Duanmu Huai and asking.

“A kind that should be exterminated.”

Duanmu Huai’s response was without hesitation.

“Listen well, the Demon Clan, like rats, have no value in existing. As soon as you see them, just kill them. Don’t show them sympathy, don’t develop feelings for them. Remember, when you kill a Demon Clan, you must remain calm——remember that what’s before you is not a life like yours. At best, it’s just filth, and your job is to clean it up. Got it?”

Duanmu Huai spoke calmly, and Enisphia and Yuriya nodded, seemingly finding nothing wrong with this.

Seeing their expressions, Duanmu Huai’s lips curled slightly, revealing a smile.

He knew it would be so, but it didn’t matter.

They would understand when the time came.
