In the most recent "Abyss Coliseum" battle, "Rookie" Chen Fei hadn't faced Minante's "Gale Team."
The team from Jiu Defense, which had originally planned to be re observers eating lons, had never considered participating in the war, which was an entirely different reason from "Gale Team"'s participation.
The "Genuine Fragrance" squadron was dragged into the ss, inexplicably fighting an opening battle that was purely business sabotage by design.
Although the final outco was like an egg striking a rock, where the provocateurs ended up destroying themselves.
Bankruptcy, dissolution, total disaster, scattering flowers in closure, singing the dirge.
But Jiu Defense had been utterly baffled the entire ti, as if swatting a fly by accident, disgusted but without any sense of accomplishnt, without any thoughts of continuing the fight.
If they really had that much free ti, they might as well fight more mutants; after all, eradicating individual mutants and their colonies was the main source of profit for the Aircrew Base and was cumulatively no less lucrative than contract fees.
Hence, neither Chen Fei nor Minante, although having a mutual acknowledgent, never actually crossed fists.
Yet, should such an opportunity arise, no one would reject it.
"Everyone, be careful. The guy's nickna isn't just 'Rookie;' he's a real 'Dragon Slayer' who has survived corporate wars with considerable aerial combat experience,"
Minante seriously warned everyone on the "Gale Team" communications channel.
In the opening battle of "The Abyss Coliseum," "Rookie" Chen Fei was extrely ferocious, completely uncharacteristic of a newbie with barely one or two years of flight experience.
Not to ntion a rookie, even veterans rarely survive from the ferocious 'Dragon of Slaughter' and the brutal corporate wars.
"Yes!" ×3!
Minante's warning had an effect, and the "Sky Falcon" pilots originally underestimating Chen Fei shivered in unison.
Their mission was originally to kill a giant dragon, but now their opponent was a dragon slayer capable of killing even dragons, undoubtedly elevating the difficulty.
"Range 25, steady! Don't rush to fire!"
Minante had already locked onto Chen Fei's "Sky Falcon" with his Fire Control System, but a failed attack would instantly reverse the dynamics of offense and defense.
"Unit 1 at 87, Unit 2 at 85, Unit 3 at 75, Unit 4 at 67, 'Adam,' mark these four 'Sky Falcons' for ."
Chen Fei, however, evaluated the combat strength by visually observing the opponent's flight postures and using his real combat experience.
First identifying the strong and weak allowed for differentiated treatnt.
When facing group combat alone, naturally, pick the softest persimmon first.
Thus, among the four "Sky Falcons," the pilot of "Unit 4," Jiad, had no idea he was being targeted first.
If he had heard Chen Xiao'er's thoughts, he would have jumped three feet high, as he was a "Sky Falcon" pilot with at least five years of flying experience. How had he beco an easy target?
"Range 15! Launch one dium-range missile each!"
Minante estimated the distance and chose the best attack range.
The best operational radius of the dium-Range Air-to-Air Missile was 60 kiloters, not aiming for a decisive blow with one strike, but only to entangle the opponent montarily, creating another round of attack opportunities for the four "Sky Falcons" of "Gale Team." One step after another, linked together, pushing the chances of victory to the maximum—it was a very reliable tactical approach.
Don't bla them for ganging up four against one; on the battlefield, the situation changes rapidly. Who is the hunter and who is the prey is never certain.
"Three, two, one, climb!"
Chen Fei, using his experience, gauged the attack rhythm of the "Gale Team," commanding his "Sky Falcon" to climb vertically just before the opponent launched the missile.
The gravitational force of Cangqiong Star unapologetically contested against the released Repulsion Shield and the Gravity Magic Array's effects on the all-tal "Sky Falcon," but the speed was not slow at all.
"He guessed our rhythm; climb, climb!"
Right as the missile launched, when Minante saw his opponent's maneuver, he imdiately realized his intention had been completely anticipated by the other party.
Lucky they hadn't underestimated the opponent as a simple rookie, otherwise, their graves would have been overgrown by now.
The four "Sky Falcons" diagonally chased the climbing altitude.
Four dium-Range Bullets had 12 kiloters to go until reaching Chen Fei, arriving in 5 seconds.
"'Blazing Fla Bullets' aid at the missiles, keep releasing, don't stop! Continue climbing!"
No sooner had Chen Fei spoken than a series of bright fireballs ford on the magic array on the surface of the all-tal Blade Wing, flung out by the force of concussion toward the roaring incoming missile, crackling as over a dozen were launched.
The Blazing Fla Bullet, a second rank Fire Spells, naturally carried a strong infrared heat reaction. Unsure what guidance mode the incoming missile used, whether it was the kind used by military contractors, a short-range combat type with multi-mode self-programming, it could still cause so disruption to a degree.
Boom!~
The first missile struck the "Blazing Fla Bullet" and exploded on the spot.
Then another missile exploded.
Blazing Fla Bullets," not real infrared thermal interference bullets, slightly moved under the guidance of spiritual power, in so sense similar to small caliber rocket projectiles.
As for power, the result after a missile strike was the sa.
Chen Fei didn't dodge the last two missiles, and the all-tal "Sky Falcon" was repeatedly hit. The nurous shrapnel even penetrated to less than a ter away but was quickly pushed far away by the intangible force field.
The aircraft, under the reactionary force, also lateral-moved dozens of ters and, after a bout of shaking, finally stabilized.
The operational range of the dium-range missile was originally large, making it tough to shake off. The mont "Gale Team" released the missiles, his all-tal "Sky Falcon" was already in the missile's inescapable zone. Relying on techniques to shake off the missiles was not realistic, and in the end, he had to rely on the "Repulsion Shield" to tough it out.
The "Repulsion Shield" magic array required 45 engraving units, which was almost half of the total 63 engraving units of the all-tal "Sky Falcon".
However, the "Repulsion Shield" offered far superior protection against physical impacts compared to the "Wind Magic Shield" or the "Thunder Magic Shield," which only required 12 engraving units. It occupied the most units, but it was worth it.
Altitude 12,000 ters!
Chen Fei breathed in the compressed air supplied by his single soldier tactical armor and casually took out a high-pressure oxygen cylinder to directly connect the interface and supplent oxygen.
For a semi-exposed assembled combat aircraft like Sky Falcon, once the altitude exceeded 3,000 ters, oxygen was necessary to avoid sudden oxygen deficiency. The flight-specific single soldier tactical armor that could adapt to high-altitude, high-speed environnts beca particularly important in this scenario, also lowering the pilot threshold for such assembled combat aircraft.
Chen Fei's tactics were quite simple, exhausting the enemy.
The opponents might not carry a space system alchemy storage device and could not sustain intense high-altitude flying for long.
In terms of reserve flying materials, Chen Fei would not fear anyone, even if Sky Knights were to co.
"What's this guy trying to do?"
Minante couldn't guess Chen Fei's tactical intentions were so wild and he subconsciously paced his own breathing rhythm.
But the other three pilots were still breathing deeply from the reserve air storage.
The balance between both sides was unknowingly tilting little by little.
"Captain, he keeps dodging. Let's close the distance and gang up on him!"
The voice of a wingman's "Sky Falcon" ca through.
"Two aircraft per group, restrict his operational range, solve him at close range! How high does this guy want to fly?"
Minante realized that ordinary missile tactics were unlikely to shoot down the opponent, as the defense field of the all-tal "Sky Falcon" was unexpectedly sturdy - even two close missile explosions hadn't caused it to collapse.
Closing the distance for a high hit-rate focus fire might be effective.
The four "Sky Falcons" formation was no longer a loose pocket formation but had swiftly and crisply divided into two dual-aircraft subgroups, one after another, diving towards the all-tal "Sky Falcon" that kept climbing endlessly.
Altitude 21,000 ters.
The ground personnel could no longer see with their bare eyes the five "Sky Falcons" chasing each other; only radar and specific magic could capture their figures.
Unable to fathom Chen Fei's intentions for a while, Minante straightforwardly asked over the public communication channel, "Hey, 'Rookie', we're not in a climbing contest, are we?"
"Yes! We are actually having a climbing contest now,"
Chen Fei's tone changed, becoming eerily gloomy as he said, "Whoever can't climb higher will die first!"
The opponent's four "Sky Falcons" were flying up by their own power, while his all-tal "Sky Falcon" was quite the opposite, being repelled and pushed up by the gravitational pull of Cangqiong Star. If the magic array and psi skills did not stop, being pushed out of the atmosphere was also a possibility.
So it was a must to compete who could fly the highest, and Chen Fei definitely wouldn't lose.
If Minante had realized this earlier and turned away at an altitude of 15,000 ters, not following Chen Fei's pace, there might have been a chance for a turnaround.
But now, both parties were stuck in a difficult position, not seeing an endpoint; not doing so would just dishonor this altitude.
"Captain, my air reserve is running low."
"I can still last another 11 minutes!"
Another group's voice transmitted through "Gale Team's" communication channel.
"Air?"
Minante paused, finally catching up.
Bad!
He looked at the altitude and imdiately grasped Chen Fei's malicious intent.
This was a tactic targeting the pilots' life support systems, one misstep, and they would beco lambs ready for slaughter.
"Abandon the pursuit, descend in a large-radius spiral, two groups alternating cover, reduce to an altitude of 3,000 ters, the speed cannot be too fast!"
Minante imdiately thought of an effective counterasure, but it required a high level of coordination. If one group descended too quickly, making it difficult for another group to cover, it could likely be exploited by the opponent.
"Gale Team's" only advantage was in their numbers; strictly maintaining their formation would make it hard for Chen Fei to find an opening.
