With a crisp snap, the latch popped open, and the five-Nightingale heavy aerial bomb slid out of its support under the influence of gravity, flying towards the crowd with momentum.

After detaching from the "Dongfeng," the aerial bomb immediately regained its weight, but its speed did not decrease at all. This change instantly gave it tremendous kinetic energy. The friction between the bomb body and the air caused it to emit a unique whistle, like a whistle or the mountain wind passing through a cave. The people on the ground invariably looked up, watching this incredible scene.

At this time, most of the Dawn nobles breathed a sigh of relief.

Compared to Maisie's terrifying and huge body, the two aerial bombs seemed insignificant. Although being hit on the head from that height would inevitably result in death with no remains, it would only be three or four unlucky people who died.

In order to get a share of the pie from the crumbling church, countless people responded to this expedition. From dukes to guards, from newly promoted knights, all actively prepared their horses, recruited attendants, and followed the Dawn Lord mightily to the west, so the team was also unprecedentedly large.

An army of more than ten thousand people, let alone three or four deaths, what if it were thirty or forty?

On the other hand, the frightening appearance of the Terrorbeasts was even more frightening. Once they pounced into the crowd to bite and trample, the casualties would be at least a hundred, not to mention the losses caused by the ignorant serfs fleeing in panic after being frightened out of their wits. As long as the giant beasts did not land, they were not too worried.

Of course, it was also possible that the other party was afraid and did not dare to openly confront the Dawn army. After all, this thing was likely to be the work of witches, and in addition to the God's Punishment Stones, they also prepared a lot of tools to deal with witches. Since the target of the looting was the church, such methods were naturally indispensable.

Many knights had already put down the longbows in their hands, put away their God's Punishment Stone arrows, and laughed as they bet on which family's team these two black stones would fall into.

Without evacuation or lying down, in full view of everyone, the two aerial bombs, like arrows leaving the string, crashed head-on into the slowly moving army in an almost straight trajectory.

Two clusters of scarlet flames suddenly erupted in the center of the "stream"!

The people and animals at the landing point of the aerial bombs were directly reduced to ashes. The heat-expanded airflow formed a blast wind, like a ripple blooming in all directions. The hot wind, accelerated to this extent, was no different from a steel wall, and those who were hit were almost immediately smashed to pieces, and broken limbs and internal organs were thrown everywhere.

The shock wave attenuated quickly, and after a hundred steps, it no longer had the ability to tear the body, but for an aerial bomb, its lethality was far more than that.

Unlike the Battle of King's City, the area where Dawn bordered the Old Holy City was a wide plain, and neither shock waves nor fragments would be obstructed in any way. And the high-density crowd standing upright without any awareness of defense became the best targets for fragments. Hundreds of iron beads inside the bomb, along with the broken shell, penetrated the crowd at several times the speed of sound. One iron bead could often penetrate ten or so people before stopping, not to mention the steel shell with huge energy.

The power of the aerial bombs was released almost without reservation.

Seen from high altitude, the rising black smoke was like a high wall, stopping the surging "stream" abruptly.

However, before the Dawn nobles could recover from the thunderous blow, Lightning had climbed to the highest point and began its second dive.

"Dongfeng, strike again!"

Maisie followed closely behind, retracted her wings, and fell all the way along the trajectory opened by Lightning, and let out a high-pitched long howl—

"Aooo aooo aooo aooo——————!"

The aerial bombs were loaded on the left and right supports respectively, and fell sequentially according to the slide rail, which could either be bombed four times in a row, or dropped to the same target in one go. In order to achieve the best deterrent effect, Lightning planned to dive four times, trying to drop the bombs on the rear section of the stream that had not yet dispersed.

But by the time the third round of aerial bombs was dropped, the Dawn army had collapsed.

For those who were still alive, it was not an explosion, but a divine punishment. The places struck by the thunder were all scorched earth and corpses were everywhere. Whether it was a naked serf or a knight in heavy armor, there was no difference in the face of the hellish flames. No one knew how long such an attack would last, and the deafening explosions and the screams of the seriously injured tormented everyone's nerves.

And what they couldn't accept the most was that in the face of such an incredible blow, the only thing they could do was pray that the next black stone would not fall near them. The giant beast hovering and diving in the air would not approach the attack range of the arrows at all, and a group of people was almost helpless except for being passively beaten.

Such a battle was completely beyond their common sense.

The nobles came to plunder wealth. If they couldn't even save their own lives, what was the use of money? Even if they could scavenge a large box of gold dragons, they would not be able to transport them back after the servants were all dead.

After weighing the two, the conclusion was self-evident.

When the knights who strictly forbade the serfs from fleeing the battlefield turned their horses around, the team quickly lost its restraint. The "stream" flowed again, but this time the direction was completely different. First one or two, then groups of two, the scattered nobles who had entered the city lost their source, while the more orderly columns in the back became a mess.

But for the Dawn army, the nightmare had just begun.

The First Army, which had been hiding in the fields beside the avenue for a long time, calmly pulled the trigger when the enemies swarmed.

This was a textbook-standard side attack.

The nobles only wanted to leave this dangerous place as soon as possible, completely ignoring the reconnaissance and defense of the flanks. The five squads of the Northern Territory Garrison lined up along the road and poured fire on the collapsing crowd. Whether it was a heavy machinegun or a revolving rifle, all did not need to consider the problem of hitting the target. Within a distance of less than three hundred meters, they only needed to fire all the bullets in the chamber as soon as possible.

The half-person-high wheat stalks became the best cover for the ambushers. While it was still dark, Eagle Face had led people to sneak here. Sylvie's powerful insight ensured the complete concealment of the scouts. The other party was almost like a blind man, but their every move was clearly exposed to the eyes of the First Army.

It can be said that from the reconnaissance level, the two were no longer opponents of the same level.

It was not until the first gunshot rang out that the Dawn nobles realized that there was an enemy army ambushing in the rice fields! If they encountered a surprise attack while marching, they might still launch a counterattack relying on their large numbers, but at this moment, escaping had become the most important thing. Being hit by a bullet or escaping to heaven all depended on luck. Everyone hated that they had too few legs, and ran away with their heads buried in a panic. The nobles even drove their mounts to rampage in the crowd, completely ignoring the lives of their people.

The wide avenue turned into a road of death in the blink of an eye.
