Release that Witch - Chapter 308

[Chapter 307 Death Falls from the Sky]

The hot air balloon flies at an altitude of more than 2,000 meters, which is the distance measured by Lightning’s vertical flight.

As long as she raises her head, she can see the clouds close at hand, like clumps of loose cotton, but to actually touch it, she has to fly hundreds of meters up.

The entire hot air balloon is painted with blue and white color blocks, which looks exactly like the sky from a distance.

And he also put on camouflage clothing, even “Dongfeng No. 1”.

According to His Highness’ request, the surprise attack should be sudden and concealed, so the First Army disembarked before reaching the pier of Silver Light City, and walked to the back of the nearby mountains.

Under Sylvie’s surveillance, the team’s course of action avoided all eyes, and did not attract anyone’s attention from the beginning to the end.

After the camp was set up, the Yaowang was slowly lifted off the next day and began to perform the throwing mission.

Counting the week spent on the road, today is exactly the beginning of mid-autumn.

The white shadow flying in front of the balloon was Maggie. Due to the inconvenient observation in the gondola, she took on the tasks of guidance and detection.

After turning into a white-tailed goshawk, even at a high altitude, she can quickly distinguish the road connecting the town and the carriage running on the road-in this regard, the eagle eye is much more useful than the binoculars.

Fortunately, the other party couldn’t correct the bomb’s drop point, Lightning thought to himself, otherwise he would really have nothing to do.

“Are you tired?” Anna asked lying on the side of the gondola, “Come in and have a rest, there won’t be any devils here anyway.” The

little girl shook her head, “I can fly for a whole day at this speed.”

“Yes Aren’t you a little nervous?” Wendy also leaned over.

“No way,” she curled her lips, “I’ve practiced it many times, and the palace is so big, it’s impossible to miss it.”

“Really?” Wendy smiled, “Anyway, don’t be brave, Your Highness said that safety is the most important thing. And… what happened when you went to investigate the devil’s camp was not your fault.”

“What, I…”

The other party said in a gentle tone, “Everyone can see your frustration these days, but you are not timid to fight, but not good at fighting. If I were to fight, I might not be able to do better than you. ”

“Indeed, most witches don’t have the reflexes and skills that Nightingale possesses,” Anna comforted

. Both of them said this, Lightning responded softly from his nose, and flew into the hanging basket with his head drooping.

Before landing, Wendy hugged

her into her arms, “No one will blame you, so you don’t need to blame yourself, you know

?

”

Returning to the Observation with wings, report to the three: “The capital of Graycastle is just ahead, we are almost there.”

Lightning flew out of the basket and raised the lookout glass – just as His Royal Highness Roland said, the capital of the king is magnificent. The majestic city wall is clearly identifiable even in the sky, it is like a thin blue line, crookedly delineating the scope of the city.

In the center of the gray color block, a nail-sized white spot is particularly eye-catching.

According to the plan, they should throw the leaflets first, and then throw Dongfeng No. 1.

However, after several trial throws, it was found that the falling direction of the paper could not be controlled at a height of 2,000 meters, even if heavy objects were added.

If the altitude is lowered, it will be easier for people to spot the target. After all, the Yaowang is huge, and there are papers falling from the sky. It is difficult to hide yourself under the watchful eyes of everyone.

Therefore, His Royal Highness finally canceled the leaflet part and handed it over to Thasa to publicize the news. They only needed to drop the bomb on the palace.

Wendy manipulated the airflow, making the basket hang steadily above the capital.

“Ready?”

“Pull the valve,” Lightning nodded.

Afterwards, she only heard a buzzing sound, and the heavy projectile had already escaped from the hanging basket, and fell straight down.

Due to the sudden loss of weight, the hot air balloon was lifted up for a while.

For the next steps, she has already memorized.

The drogue parachute at the end of Dongfeng No. 1 was stretched under the action of the airflow. Lightning quickly caught up with the bomb and began to correct its trajectory little by little.

The capital is no stranger to the witches of the Masonic Society. They had hidden in the city’s slums for several months during their journey to the wilderness to find the holy mountain.

One is to collect food, and the other is to recruit new blood. It was during this period that Soraya and Echo joined the Mutual Aid Society.

Although Lightning hadn’t experienced these things in person, he often heard them mention that, compared to other cities, the arrest of witches in the capital is very strict. On the stepped square in the outer city, witches are executed almost every month.

Therefore, they stay here for the shortest time, because every day they stay, they have to bear the pain of the loss of their sisters.

Lightning doesn’t have any good feelings for this prosperous capital city. If she can throw a bomb on Timothy’s head and completely end his rule, she will be very happy to do so. If Roland is replaced to govern the Kingdom of Graycastle, these tragedies will surely not happen. happen?

She now has a chance to right her wrong.

The wind whistled in my ears, the scene on the ground continued to expand, and the details of the palace in the inner city were revealed little by little before Lightning’s eyes.

Compared with the low-rise houses inhabited by civilians, the scale of the palace building is much larger – its main body consists of a domed hall, a banquet building and a tower castle, and the rest of the auxiliary houses such as stables, barracks, warehouses, etc. .

Considering the steep walls and complicated roof structure of the castle, it was not easy to trigger the fuze, so His Highness finally chose the palace hall as the target.

As the altitude dropped sharply, the parachute quickly reached the breakaway point.

Lightning pulls up the mechanism to let the parachute escape from the projectile, and at the same time pick it up and quickly climb up.

Before leaving, His Highness the Prince repeatedly told him to rise to a high enough safe position before the bomb hit the ground, and never look back to see the explosion, but the little girl still couldn’t hold back her curiosity, UU Reading www.sonicmtl.com couldn’t help but lowered her head Turned

his head——

I saw a group of dazzling flashes light up on the top of the hall, and rapidly expanded.

The incandescent light quickly turned into a bright orange-red, and then disappeared in the tumbling smoke. This process lasted for less than a breath, and then a deafening explosion suddenly exploded in her ears, almost making her lose her balance.

It’s not that Lightning has never seen a battlefield with roaring artillery fire, but compared to those terrifying weapons that shoot iron balls, the loud noise made by Dongfeng No. 1 is ten times louder than all of them combined!

Smoke gushed violently from the pillars and windows around the temple, engulfing the surrounding gardens and corridors.

After a while, several cracks appeared on the circular vault with the bomb drop point as the center.

Lightning involuntarily stopped, staring at the hall with bated breath for the last moment.

These black lines were like ink flowing wantonly, covering the entire roof in an instant, and then the roof could no longer support itself, and collapsed suddenly, raising a thicker cloud of smoke and dust.

Under the astonishing power of Dongfeng No. 1, the palace hall collapsed.
