God-level Hero-Chapter 1185 - 1100: The Advantage of Extreme Altitude

The large-scale construction at the Holy Vine Central Village begins again. The Angel Army, Artillery Emperor, Militia Flower Demons, Vine Demons—all of them, regardless of their production skills, are all put into action. One Flower Demon barracks after another is air-dropped onto the lake’s surface, and then, under Tamilia’s spell guidance, thick vines emerge from the lake to wrap and support the barracks. At a glance, a circle of floating houses appears on the lake’s surface.

Next, the remaining few hundred units of Scarlet Gemstone, along with the Cold Jade Gemstone, are pooled together to reach 1,000 units and thrown into the lake. The entire lake surface starts to dissolve the gemstones like boiling water, and thin red smoke reappears from the 10 newly transplanted Flower Demon barracks.

A huge sense of achievement rushes into Da Fei’s heart. This is exactly the effect he wanted! The thought of planting the remaining 20 barracks in the future, then mass-producing thousands of low-level Evil Demons, equates to a genuine mobile city. Even if a Doomsday Magic descends to destroy everything, it will be resisted by Evil Demons whose army health has been increased by over 30 points! Just like in Radiant City when the entire city’s Flower Demons withstood the Flame Demon General’s Meteor Magic.

After finishing all this, it’s already 1 a.m. The intestinal space of the Holy Vine has again been cleared of several positions. Well, it’s time to continue working.

Da Fei returns to the cockpit of the Sky Ship. At this time, the Rust Dragon Patrol Team under the hull is still tirelessly patrolling. Da Fei smiles in surprise, realizing he’s been quiet for an hour, and altogether it’s been almost three hours since the battle started, yet they don’t think to fly higher? In any case, continue to capture Blood Demons, and the Blood Eagle will continue to pinpoint targets.

But soon, Da Fei finds a problem. After this hour of changes, the distribution density of Blood Demons is nowhere near as large as before. Before, a battle area had at least 4 or 5, but now there are only 2 or 3 sparsely in the same area, sometimes even just 1. This means he’s overfished! For such large Sea Monsters like Blood Demons, hunting 200 at once has indeed caused serious ecological damage.

At this point, Da Fei feels distressed. Although he can continue using the previous tactics to kill, this feels like players farming monsters several levels lower than themselves that contribute little Experience, which feels uncomfortable all over. For high-end players who have been farming higher-level monsters for the long term, this situation is unbearable for anyone.

This means Da Fei finally has to confront these Rust Dragons. If the opponents are Rust Dragons, the Parasitic Vine’s capture won’t work, making it difficult to finish battles quickly. Even with the Angel Army, there is no guarantee that these patrol teams won’t retreat in cowardice like those Sky Cavalry patrol soldiers from Hell Volcano. And once a prolonged aerial chase is formed, Rust Dragon reinforcements will endlessly arrive, making this much harder than poaching Blood Demons. But now there’s no choice, it’s time to begin.

However, looking at the densely packed red dots of Rust Dragons shuttling around the radar, Da Fei feels a bit timid. If so many Rust Dragons are under a strong hero’s command, Da Fei doesn’t dare imagine the consequences! Is there really no strategy, only a head-on clash?

Da Fei stares at the radar, focusing his thoughts while trying to identify targets that are alone and easiest to capture. Once he successfully starts by thinning the Rust Dragon density, subsequent battles should be much easier.

And as Da Fei is deep in thought, he suddenly notices a gauge on the Sky Ship control panel’s instrument flashing red. His heart skips a beat, and he hastily asks the NPC technician from Mage City, "What’s going on?"

The technician replies, "Reporting to the Captain, this is the flight altitude gauge! It’s currently 60% above the maximum limit! But there’s no danger, please rest assured, Captain." 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Da Fei’s brow quirks, "Beyond maximum altitude?"

The technician responds, "Yes, because the Sky Ship fused with the soul of Agarlon to gain life, its maximum climbing altitude is 10% higher than the design value. And this volcanic region is filled with a large amount of scorching sulfurous smoke, causing the air density to increase, and consequently, the buoyancy of the air also increases, allowing the Sky Ship to gain another 50% additional height!"

At this moment, a realization flashes in Da Fei’s mind! He seems to finally understand why these Rust Dragon patrol teams are only searching below the hull, not flying higher—they can’t fly that high!

That’s right, even flying creatures have altitude limits. Sparrows can never fly higher than eagles. And his Blood Eagle is specifically skilled in "High Altitude Flight," which allowed it to single-handedly petrify and annihilate thousands of beetles in the Vine Demon Jungle, earning Tachiusu’s favor!

To verify his thoughts, Da Fei asks the technician again, "Since the volcanic air has greater buoyancy, will the enemy’s Flying Dragons also fly higher than usual?"

The technician nods, "Of course. However, different aircraft forms are affected by buoyancy differently. Their streamlined shape is suited for speed, but our balloon’s large shape is suited for altitude. In terms of height, they can’t compare with us!"

Da Fei is overjoyed! It all makes sense, he’s finally found the trick! What is high technology? Being able to fly higher than the opponent is high technology!

Da Fei waves his hand, "Then let’s start the battle. Slowly lower the Sky Ship’s altitude; all units prepare for battle! Let’s first test the enemy’s real high altitude limit!"

"Acknowledged!"

Thus, the Sky Ship shuts down a jet pipe, gradually descending. Closer, getting closer, the radar suddenly erupts in red lights:

—System Prompt: You have been discovered by the Rust Dragon Patrol Team, combat begins!

Seeing the silhouettes of a dozen Rust Dragons charging through the mist, Da Fei immediately orders, "Stop descending!"

The Rust Dragons emerge from the mist; Da Fei finally sees their appearance—these are creatures half again the size of level 7 Jade Dragons, in a dirty yellow color, truly products of growing up on sulfur! And the slower they fly, nearing the bottom of the Flying within ten meters, they’re flapping their wings but can’t ascend an inch further!

Da Fei laughs heartily, "So this is their limit!"

The next moment, these Rust Dragons open their big mouths, spewing yellow flames mixed with yellow smoke—BOOM! The bottom of the Flying shudders violently! Numbers like "-200 Sulfur Flame Dragon Breath Damage," "-30 Ongoing Corrosive Damage," and "-26 Flame Burn Ongoing Damage" leap from the ship’s bottom!

In this moment, the total durability of the Flying’s ship bottom drops nearly twenty thousand! Considering ongoing damage, the opponent’s output is fairly substantial! The Dragon Breath’s effect on structures isn’t much, but dealing this kind of damage to the Flying means Da Fei can’t imagine its power against troops!

But since the opponent has unleashed Dragon Breath, it’s time for my forces to counterattack!

Da Fei waves his hand, "Counterattack!"

The next moment, archers on the deck pop up to shoot downward, and the Angel Army swoops down!

Even the Dragon Clan is not match for Da Fei’s massive firepower output in one round, not to mention that ranged attacks have default damage boosts against Flying Creatures. Three Rust Dragons are immediately killed on the spot, while the remaining patrol team rapidly plunges and scatters, letting out thunderous roars!

Then, in the next moment, other red dots on the radar converge toward them!

Da Fei’s biggest headache materializes: these patrol soldiers indeed flee when they can’t win, shouting for backup as they go! And with such a shout, a hero is bound to appear. Now certainly isn’t the time to clash hard with a hero. Although there is the altitude advantage, the opponent can still use long-range Dragon Breath; a squad of dragons could take out twenty thousand Durability from the Flying, and if a hero-led surge occurs, it could really become a big problem.

Da Fei immediately has the Angel Army retrieve the three downed Dragon Clan corpses, quickly transporting them back to the Holy Vine Space. Then, the Flying’s Demon Light flashes; they teleport away. Indeed, the primary aim of the first battle was to test the tactical strength of Rust Dragons. Since the goal is mostly accomplished, the next step is to commence a detailed planned assault. Meanwhile, the Flying has time to recover lost Durability. (To be continued. If you like this work, please visit Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for it with recommendation votes and monthly tickets.
