Chapter 44: Licking the Ground!

For those who have not undergone formal and rigorous training, the psychological fear they would feel when facing thousands of cavalry charging towards them at full speed is enough to make them collapse.

The roaring charge, the shaking of the earth trampled by iron hooves, and the thundering sound of horse hooves were enough to make anyone with a weak mind turn around and flee without hesitation.

The members of the guard regiment were just ordinary farmers and hunters before. Although they received training from the Dragon Flame Army for a period of time, this training ultimately only made these people understand how to use the weapons in their hands.

Raise the gun, take aim, pull the trigger, and fire the bullet.

Their combat effectiveness is not much higher than that of the legendary soldiers of the late Qing Dynasty who were said to "just fire a few shots to be worthy of the military pay given by the emperor."

Even though these people's homes are behind them, and even though they know very well that once the bandits break through their defenses, everything they have will be taken away.

But they're used to it, because this is the common situation in this f***ed up world.

Fortunately, not everyone was like this. Tatsumi and Iyeas yelled at everyone to hold their lines while shooting at the bandits rushing towards them.

Following their example, some members of the security corps who had originally planned to escape began to fight with trepidation.

Unfortunately, their hit rate was so low that it was unbearable to watch. On the contrary, the noise produced by the explosion of the grenades thrown by the grenadiers frightened the horses of the bandits who had never experienced such things, causing them considerable chaos.

Upon seeing this, Tatsumi simply pushed away the subordinate who was operating the machine gun, held the gun handle himself, and shouted to Iyeas: "Iyeas! Come and help me hold the ammunition belt!"

"good!!!"

Da da da da da…

The machine gun spewed out flames again, and this time it finally exerted its due lethality against cavalry - although this was also because the enemy had rushed very close.

The bandits were a little dazed by the sudden attack. Those who had never experienced such a situation didn't know how to deal with it. They either continued to rush forward stupidly or instinctively pulled the reins to try to get around.

However, despite Tatsumi's strenuous counterattack, the situation of the Guard Corps remained extremely grim.

They were too few in number, and the other side was too large in number.

They were just a group of farmers who had just taken up arms, and on the other side were vicious bandits.

If it weren't for the absolute suppression in weapons, the defense of this group of people would have been torn to pieces long ago.

What's more, there are guns in the world of Akame ga Slash.

Although the power of guns in this world is quite weak, excluding some special imperial weapons and ministerial weapons.

After realizing that the weapon on the opposite side was an extremely strange and powerful firearm, the bandits immediately scattered.

The guard regiment was now even more stretched. Their negligible hit rate seemed to have doomed them to failure sooner or later.

Knowing that he could no longer leave people alone or something terrible would happen, Yang Xingshu finally issued an order in the base.

"Attack."

"Received the order, Suzaku-A-1 begins its mission, long live the empire!"

In the sky, a Suzaku attack aircraft that had been circling for a long time received the order, began to adjust its flight attitude, and quickly lowered its altitude.

The Suzaku attack aircraft, with its gorgeous appearance that is a combination of cold silver-gray and dazzling bright yellow, resembles the Suzaku, a mythical bird in Huxia legend.

As Shenzhou's specialized fighter for ground attacks, it has the nickname "Liberator without a Fighter". After gaining absolute air superiority through the cooperation of other friendly forces, the Suzaku attack aircraft can exert its extremely terrifying ability to kill ground units.

The plasma shells it fired were extremely effective. If necessary, it could even lower its altitude to an incredible level, directly spewing high-temperature plasma flames at ground troops, creating a hellish fire belt.

The guard regiment that was fighting hard and the bandits that were becoming more and more excited suddenly heard a sharp whistling sound coming from the sky.

People looked up one after another, and then suddenly their eyes widened.

"What…what is that!?"

"What a big bird!"

"Dangerous species!? That's a dangerous species!?"

Instinctively, the people of this world regarded the Suzaku attack aircraft that dropped from the sky as a dangerous species.

But soon, as the Suzaku attack aircraft lowered its altitude further, the sharp-eyed people in the security regiment vaguely saw the dragon-shaped logo of the Shenzhou Empire on its fuselage.

"It's reinforcements! Lord Yang's reinforcements!"

Tatsumi shouted excitedly.

When the altitude dropped to an appropriate level, the Suzaku attack aircraft suddenly fired a plasma shell directly at the bandits on the ground.

Boom——!!!

First there was a deafening explosion, followed by endless flames rising into the sky, and the heat wave swept across the entire battlefield in an instant.

The bandits who were so aggressive just now were almost all devoured by the flames.

After that, the pilot of the Suzaku attack aircraft pulled up the fuselage slightly, circled, and fired two more plasma shells!

Both the guard regiment close to the battlefield and some ulterior motives of the observers in the village were stunned.

Countless people turned pale, their legs were trembling, and some of the timid ones in the guard regiment even wet their pants on the spot.

Some even lay on the ground with their hands on their heads, their faces buried in the dirt, their entire bodies trembling with fear...

…dividing line…

"How terrible…"

Inside the Guangtian Palace, the Son of God let out a breath and looked at the scene of the Suzaku attack plane licking the ground on the holographic projection screen with a complicated expression.

In an instant, thousands of bandits were wiped out, and the whole process took less than half a minute.

If the one who did all this was a demon god... No, even if it wasn't a demon god, it would be fine if it was a demon god's follower like her or someone else, but it was the most ordinary mortal who did all this.

If there were a few more attacks like this, the entire Inazuma Castle would be destroyed - if Yinghe and himself did not intervene.

Ning Qingxuan looked at the Son of God with a smile on her face, and said teasingly: "You are not afraid, are you?"

"Will this palace official be afraid? Little guy, you must be responsible for what you say."

The Son of God raised his chin proudly, and then his eyes turned slightly.

He deliberately moved his body closer and whispered in Ning Qingxuan's ear, "Or, little guy, are you willing to use this scary big bird to deal with me?"

Is this a car? This fox is definitely driving a car! ?

Ning Qingxuan distanced herself from the Son of God with an expressionless face, and said with disgust: "Eh! You ate noodles at noon? And you added garlic?"

Miko: "--!?"

On this day, Miss Fox almost died on the spot.
