84 – Chapter 30. Attack Helicopter of the Strange Sea – 1
– 85 –
Sky with swirling dark red clouds
The mass of land lying under it was located in the corner where the wall of indescribable color cuts it off from the outside.
The mountain at the center of the land is said to have been a volcano where fire spirits gathered in the past.
The crater was clearly visible even on the distant sea because the elevation was not very high.
“We are not enough, so let’s go carefully.”
[[I see.]]
It was not an infiltration operation, so there was no need to worry about the noise.
It was more important to attract attention and lure the enemies to a place where they could request Bartiers’ support for artillery fire.
So all the wind spirits were focused on defense and movement.
“Misfire. Please report your current location and situation.”
I heard the voice of the spirit who took the role of the operator on the communicator.
Intermediate Wind Spirits identified the current location with reconnaissance magic, and the water spirits in charge of assistants checked the coordinates on the map and floated them in the corner of the window.
“Current location 379,250 moving northeast.”
“Please give the signal after luring the enemy troops to the vicinity of 390,277.”
“Rager.”
The water spirits pointed to the destination on the map.
It was located quite deep inland.
I knew that guns had a very long range, but it’s only going to be this long.
Even if they attack the shore, they will fire from a distance of several tens of kilometers.
“Are you sure you can hit it well?”
“Of course. Our crews are veterans of battles who have been active since the Shinma War, so it is easy to hit with precision from this distance.”
The lesser water spirit replied proudly.
“Yes. You’ll have to Otherwise, this will be dangerous.”
The role in this operation was the role of the anvil among the hammer and the anvil.
I’ve been playing the role of a hammer that breaks enemies’ heads by myself. Will I be able to lure them out properly?
All of a sudden, we arrived at the beach coordinates.
When I looked down from a high altitude, the forest was already too far away, so I couldn’t tell where the enemies would appear and attack.
“Use reconnaissance magic consistently. Because magic stones are enough.”
[[Yes.]]
The manastones supplied from the island yesterday were enough to be used as much as I wanted, and I could go back and replenish them.
In the last two battles, I was happy to have enough supplies because I had suffered from a lack of mana stones.
[[Enemies are interfering with reconnaissance magic with jammers.]]
At the words of the spirit in charge of reconnaissance, the lesser water spirits gathered in a circle from the back seat.
“We will help.”
[[I understand.]]
I almost burst out of laughter at the solemn reply of the sparrow.
These guys also want to hold weight in front of their subordinates.
Some water spirits disappeared as if absorbed into the gas.
After a while, the surrounding terrain began to appear in a small corner of the front window.
[[Successful in constructing a simple terrain.]]
“What about jamming?”
[[Our detection magic has gotten stronger, so it won’t work anymore.]]
“Oh.”
Most of the things I learned in the magic management class are attack and defense magic, so most of them are not familiar with auxiliary type magic.
Following the map floating on the window, the route was corrected towards the destination.
There was a forest where it was difficult to distinguish where on the ground it was.
Dinosaur-like creature with its head raised through the forest looked at it and began to eat leaves leisurely.
Isn’t he the one being bred by demons?
Anyway, seeing the dinosaurs starting to appear, it seems that the destination is not far away.
“Can we go on like this?”
[[I will check the reaction of the aptitude creature.]]
“Is that even possible? I’ve never seen such magic before.”
I saw a lot of magic that detects enemy tanks and weapons, but I was unfamiliar with the type of tracking creatures.
[[It is a different kind from what I use as a wind spirit. Hellfire and Sidewinder are both attack magic, but they have different properties and functions.]]
“That’s right.”
If I had taken more operator classes, I would have been able to learn more about reconnaissance and detection magic.
Shall I ride the spirits of each attribute on my helicopter later?
Combining the magic learned by each elemental spirit may yield interesting results.
“Come to think of it, I learned about ‘property change’ while recalling my memories with Bartiers, do you know what this is?”
[[Erif has written this before.]]
“Really? What is it?”
Instead of the mid-level wind spirit busy in driving, reconnaissance and detection of helicopters, the idle fire spirit sticks out her head from the instrument panel.
“Literally changing the attributes Erif-sama possesses. Since Erif-sama is half a spirit, he has his own attributes, doesn’t he? Wind and fire.”
“It turns into water or land.”
“Yes. He used to use it when he had to change the properties of his body.”
I don’t know what it is to change the properties of the body.
If you search your memory, you will find something, but now is the time to focus on the operation.
[[There are 3 kilometers left to the operation area.]]
“How are the enemies moving?”
[[There isn’t much signal around here. Shouldn’t it be lured in from a little deeper?]]
“There have been quite a few inland, but still not there?”
[[Yes. Because the demons have been treated so harshly by us, we are trying to figure out the limit of the range of the bombardment. So it doesn’t come out of that line unless it’s a little thing.]]
“It must have been a strange thing that happened to me yesterday.”
[[These days, there are not many orders for bombardment operations, so demons often wander outside, but they may have hidden away more by bombarding the area near where Erif was wounded.]]
In the end, I’ll have to break into their base and lure them all the way here.
With the spirit of a military officer attacking the enemy camp with a short film, he turned his nose towards the enemy’s main camp.
“First, the dinosaurs?”
[[Yes. Two groups of demons are fighting with each other, but the Osparts don’t have much numbers or weapons because their main ship was destroyed by us. That is why the Mitztar tribe has superior power.]]
“Are you fighting with demons?”
Come to think of it, the demons who ran away from the dinosaurs when they first fell here must have been the Asfaltons doing something.
[[[[If the number of the Mitztar tribes is reduced, even if this operation fails, the captain’s operation is to fear that the two groups on the land will antagonize each other and annihilate each other.]]
“Well.”
I knew the details because I heard the operation explanation from Bartiers, but I didn’t know the details.
It was questionable whether the two would fight each other leaving behind a powerful enemy, the Spirit Army, just because they had to balance their forces, but it was a command from Bartiers, who had been fighting with them for 3 years, so they should obey.
[[A group of enemies has begun to appear. We’ll show you the location.]]
The location of the enemies is shown as a red dot on the map.
The sizes were different, but I think it’s because the dinosaurs were huge.
The giant pterosaur right in front of you…….
“Huh? Pterosaur!”
It’s the first time I’ve actually seen it, but it looks pretty cool.
The Wyvern, a similar type, is pretty ugly.
The pterosaur, which flew gracefully like a bird, opened its mouth wide.
A huge flow of magic appeared in front of him.
Like when I used Hellfire, it was the sound of preparing a magic powerful enough to see the flow of magic.
I immediately stepped on the pedal and pulled the lever.
I thought of a way to respond calmly and calmly while watching the purple light stalks barely passing through the tail.
I’m slowly getting used to this kind of thing.
He stretched out his left hand and grabbed the lever of the chain gun.
Looking at the pterosaur, he turned around and sharpened his chain gun.
Did hard-
A small magic bullet flew towards the small demon riding on the pterosaur.
“Chit.”
A semi-transparent hemispherical shield surrounded the demons.
The demon shrugged his shoulders and laughed loudly, then raised the staff in his hand above his head.
The pterosaur lowered its altitude and quickly turned backwards, then turned over and grabbed my tail.
“Dogfight is at a disadvantage… ….”
In the first place, there’s no way a helicopter can do a proper dogfight, right?
I decided to fry it.
“How to deal with the enemy air force? Do I have to figure it out?”
[[Our ship has anti-aircraft guns, but the range is not long…….]]
Bartier Guy.
It seems that they did not pay much attention to the air force that was attacking them, as they could simply be eliminated with anti-aircraft guns.
After dodging the attack two more times with the help of the spirits, he turned the lever to the right.
The helicopter turned around and the tail of the pterosaur was glimpsed.
[[They are attacking!]]
“Just hold on this time!”
I blocked the magic fired by the pterosaur once with a shield.
The aircraft trembled uneasy, but it didn’t seem like there was much damage because all the wind spirits were turned into defense.
“Tail rotor adjustment… ….”
I haven’t had time to look at the dashboard, so as I fumbled over the dashboard with his hand, the spirit of fire came out.
[[I will make adjustments]]
“Thank you. Can you prepare a sidewinder?”
[[Aye sir!]]
The spirit of fire that read my will dropped the RPM of the tail rotor.
Soon, the aircraft shook unsteadily, spinning around from the tail side, avoiding the magic that the pterosaur sneezed.
The sidewinder was aimed at the pterosaur, which repeatedly entered and disappeared from sight, without even thinking of stopping the flying aircraft as it turned round and round.
The moment he opened his mouth again.
[[Aim complete.]]
“Shoot!”
A black spear was fired at the timing when the pterosaur was seen in front.
After one more lap, the second sidewinder was fired towards the same place.
The first step made a big scratch on the hemispherical magic shield.
“!!”
When I stabilized the aircraft, I saw the astonishment of the demons.
Soon after that, the second sidewinder that dug in a scratch broke the shield so easily that it burst the demons on the pterosaur.
Keeek-
The pterosaur stumbled and fell, shook his head a few times, spread his wings, adjusted his posture, and quickly ran away.
“Whew.”
If the pterosaurs appeared in hordes, it would have been dangerous.
It was much faster than the Wyvern, and the attack was strong.
“But if you attack from afar, it will be fine. I almost got attacked.”
[[Sorry. We should have done the detection right…….]]
“No. I didn’t pay attention. Are the dinosaurs on the ground okay? Is there anyone who can attack in the air?”
[[Some have turrets on their backs, wear armor, and have been converted into machines.]]
“It looks cool, but the thought of dealing with an enemy is a bit scary.”
Come to think of it, the pterosaur was also equipped with an iron plate-like object on its wings and back.
If you give a guy that weight is important for flying that level of armament, the guys on the ground are like walking tanks.
“Chijik- Ah, Erif-sama. Communication – Chijik-“
The communication status from the Bartiers was unstable, probably because of the enemy’s jamming.
I pressed the communication button on my side and tried to call, but only noise came out.
“In that case, even if I drive them, I can’t send a signal… ….”
Dinosaurs and demons were appearing one by one through the bushes.
When I lifted my head and looked around, I saw demons and dinosaurs gathered together in a vacant lot at the foot of the mountain.
Some pterosaurs were also flying near the mountains.
“Wouldn’t it be possible to get a signal by mobilizing drones and mini-helicopters?”
[[That’s a good idea.]]
“How should I attack so that the enemies will chase after them in anger?”
If you attack blindly and wait for them to follow you, but don’t respond or hide, it’s over.
If the demons are just about to gather with anger…….
[[Isn’t this aircraft enough?]]
“Huh?”
A medium-level fire spirit stuck out its head from the instrument panel.
“In addition to the achievement period in the Shinma War, the human spirit Erif is riding directly, so I think it will be a sufficient ‘loot’ and a merit for them.”
“Is that so?”
I wondered if this might be what Bartiers threw me as bait.
It was me who quickly accepted the role, so I sighed and headed towards the enemy camp.
“Hellfire Explosion 1 room.”
[[Larger.]]
I slowly lowered the altitude and came down to the top of the forest.
The uncontrolled winds of the rotor swept the trees wildly, creating green waves.
“And do you have any new weapons that you can use?”
[[Anti-armored armament and anti-ship armament are usable.]]
“Are there any anti-ship armaments?”
[[Yes.]]
Originally, it would have been a weapon to deal with the Osparts, who have a lot of power, but since their ships have all been smashed, it can be used later.
“Then prepare an anti-armored weapon.”
[[I see. I’ll load Brimstone one step at a time.]]
Brimstone (sulfur).
It’s a perfect name to use like hellfire.
“Then, let’s go.”
As the helicopter moved, the green ripples moved along with it.
The demons hiding under the tree saw the helicopter loaded with ferocious magic and began to run away in a hurry.
I slowly pushed the lever and charged towards the enemy with full throttle.
As if they had already prepared, the demons riding on the dinosaurs blew guns and magic.
When I got pretty close to the enemy camp while avoiding the big ones and hitting the small ones, a large-bodied dinosaur appeared from afar.
He was wearing armor and swinging his long bristles to hit me, but he avoided the attack by turning to the side while operating the pedal and lever at the same time.
“First, one big one!”
Fire Hellfire and Brimstone at the same time.
A red pillar of fire exploded at the foot of the dinosaur, detonating a large number of small demons, and the yellow mass of magic fired at the same time gradually spread a blue flame and collided with the armored dinosaur’s body.
Koooh-
The large dinosaur roared and rolled its feet as if in agony.
Then, after being hit by Hellfire, his leg staggered, and he knelt down and fell forward.
It seemed that there were dozens of demons under it.
“Once again!”
Dinosaur showed signs of getting up, so he aimed Hellfire and Brimstone at the head, shot it, and climbed straight up.
All kinds of magic flew towards this side with the screams of the dinosaurs.
“Focus on the shield below!”
Tong tongue
After the cool sound of knocking on the shield was over, an angry army of dinosaurs was chasing me as I exited the forest.
“What is the distance to the firing coordinates?”
[[It is five kilometers.]]
It was quick to fly, but to drive the enemies seemed infinitely far away.
“Are you chasing me properly?”
[[Yes. Oh, I think I can see the enemy boss too.]]
“Really?”
It was a very urgent situation, but when I heard that an important target had been found, my mouth was dry and my hands were starting to tremble.
From nob le mt l dot com
Please follow me just like this.
[[The enemy’s tracking is getting a little delayed.]]
“Damn.”
Inevitably, he turned again and attacked them with a sidewinder-focused attack.
I was able to go around one by one and drag the aggro back to make the dinosaur army chase me.
“The enemy boss?”
[[I can’t see it]]
“Sheesh.”
In the end, I missed it.
If the captain feels abnormal, he may give an order to retreat.
Now that we’ve reached the firing point, we should send a signal quickly.
“Drones, mini-helicopters. Send a signal in the air.”
「I understand.」
When the eject button was pressed, drones and mini-helicopters came out one after another from the back of the main body and began to soar high into the sky.
Hundreds of dinosaurs flocked to the troop.
There were a lot of pterosaurs among the dogs, so they kept them in check to protect drones and mini-helicopters.
“Hellfire Spread!”
With a Hellfire that explodes in a wide range, it only slightly broke the pterosaur’s shield, but it was able to buy enough time.
A time when the dinosaur units that have settled in are about to fire anti-aircraft magic all at once.
Drones and mini-helicopters that created the word ‘Shoot’ in the air sensed the danger and began to scatter like dandelion seeds.
I was thrilled by the huge magical vortex I felt from the sea in the distance, and pulled the lever as far as I could to quickly raise the altitude.
After a few seconds.
The ground turned over with a loud noise.
The shaking of the earth is felt even when floating high in the sky.
The trees exploded all at once.
Dinosaurs and everything else were shattered and turned into a handful of ashes by the merciless shelling that turned a forest full of large trees into an empty space.
After the bombardment that was strong enough to cause magical distortion, the drones and mini-helicopters were recovered and the ground waited for the ground to calm down.
“Is it success?”
I saw them wriggling under the settled dirt.
Taking that tough life, he prepared to receive the next operation from Bartiers.
