Rise of the Plants

"Without coordinated operations on the ground, it's troublesome. We have to rely on ourselves. There are so many of these things."

The young noble muttered as the alchemy cannon below had fired. Two red balls flew out instantly and landed on two anti-aircraft cannons in the distance. With an explosion, the entire anti-aircraft cannon was blown to pieces.

This ground alchemical cannon is different from the anti-air alchemical cannon above. The main target of the anti-air alchemy cannon is other airships, so the penetration is enhanced, and the focus is on destroying the opponent's defensive barrier.

However, the two on the ground are different. This alchemical cannon enhances area destructive power. Because there are too many ground troops, it is basically useless if it only has penetration power.

But later they discovered that even if the range of destructive power was enhanced, using the alchemy cannon to attack the ground was still a waste and not cost-effective at all. Therefore, when the Alchemy Flying Boat is dispatched, it is always coordinated by ground troops. Their targets are just some alchemy cannons on the ground and some mage towers.

After the important targets were destroyed, the rest was left to the ground troops. Their only enemy was the Alchemy Flying Boat.

It's just different this time. The flying boat can fly to this place at the fastest speed. However, the Holy Dragon Empire itself did not develop ships very much, so their ships could not reach this place at all.

Even if the journey was calm, it would probably take less than a month for their ship to reach such a far place, and it might even take longer. But this is the sea, and the theory doesn't hold water at all.

So this time there was no ship that could cooperate with them, so they had to fly on their own. The young nobleman felt very distressed when it was used for such ordinary targets. You know, as long as the alchemy cannon moves, the magic crystal is consumed. The Holy Dragon Empire has several large magic crystal veins, but it cannot help but waste them like this.

After attacking a few times, the young noble became bored and said, "Hey, it's not interesting at all. Let's forget it. We can just ignore these things." The alchemy cannon stopped and they continued to fly forward.

But what they didn't expect was that those gun barrels were still aimed at them, but there was no movement.

"Hmph, I can see that the coastal defenses are just fooling us. Do you really think that this young master is an idiot for trying to consume our magic power in this way? Don't worry about it and go directly."

"Master, should we be more careful and let a few flying boats get closer first to take a look."

"Needless to say, this must be a lie. Kubo, don't always think that those small places can produce many powerful people. The countryside is the countryside, and it can never be compared with our Holy Dragon Empire."

Before he could finish his words, the truth slapped him hard. Because an anti-aircraft cannon finally fired.

A group of wind elements condensed and formed a large wind ball. The wind ball suddenly broke away from the cannon and flew towards them. Because it is a wind element, it is very fast, far beyond what they can dodge.

With a "boom" sound, the flying boat suddenly shook violently. The young noble almost fell down, and immediately became furious: "Why are you flying a flying boat? Do you want to rebel?" At that moment, he almost lost his image.

"Young master, be careful. It's the coastal defenses of the Holy Tree Territory. These things can attack us."

Kubo looked surprised and roared loudly at the same time. But at this time they were already very deep, and according to the calculations of the plant brain, this was the best place to ambush. So at this time many wind cannons were aimed at them.

I don’t know when, the surrounding reefs were filled with such wind cannons. Wind-element cannonballs flew over one after another, and the airship behind them that was set on fire trembled violently for an instant. The defensive barrier flickered a few times and then went out.

"No, their firepower is very strong, let's leave quickly." Now Kubo didn't care what his young master said, and quickly gave instructions loudly. But at this time, the young noble was stunned and didn't react at all. The young nobleman, who had never experienced war, suddenly found himself being attacked and was instantly stunned.

If it weren't for the defensive barriers around him, this young noble would have died countless times.

Kubo pulled his young master and hid in the cabin. "Counterattack immediately, retreat quickly, and leave their defense line." Kubo's voice came, and Feizhou immediately made corresponding moves.

The alchemy cannon attacked again, accurately killing the anti-air cannons below, and then turned around and left. It has to be said that there were a lot of flying boats, and they quickly knocked out all the wind cannons around them.

But after leaving the defensive attack circle, their losses were still considerable. The attack in just a short period of time left sixteen flying boats here. If the time is extended a little longer, I don’t know how much will fall.

Sixteen flying boats were nothing compared to the entire flying boat team, but this loss made the young noble feel heartbroken. Moreover, the start was unfavorable. As soon as they arrived here, they were beaten and fled. The young noble's heart was full of grievance and anger.

"Don't turn around, go back. I must make that damn bastard look good. If he dares to ambush me, he is looking for death. Go back, hurry up." The young noble jumped up and down like a monkey.

Kubo looked serious: "Master, please don't be willful. If you continue like this, I will have to send you back to your master." After hearing this, the young noble finally calmed down, but his eyes widened. He looked at the steward with wide eyes. Why doesn't the manager who usually obeys me stop listening to me? What's going on?

Kubo ignored this guy's thoughts and said to himself: "According to visual inspection, the range of those wind cannons is not far or near, about one kilometer. Our usual flying altitude is within their range."

"We can attack from further away so they can't hit us."

"How much magic crystal will we consume and how much will we gain? Do they have other means of defense? Will we have more flying boats shot down? How much will our losses be by then?"

This series of questions left the young noble speechless and his face turned red.

"Besides, our airship hasn't appeared yet. We are just the vanguard. If we lose too much, the benefits we get later will be reduced. Master, you don't think other nobles will pay for our own losses."

At this moment, the young noble finally seemed to realize the seriousness of the matter. The real war was completely different from what he thought.
