Chapter 673 Adding more soldiers is an inevitable choice
Su Tianqing felt that she was bad at aerial combat.
This was true in the past, it is true now, and it will remain true for a long time to come.
This fox possesses a unique advantage in summoning magic. Even without much assistance from the secret manual, this fox can still use the fully enhanced Heart Moon Wand to create many strange witches that look and are both powerful and interesting to use:
Such as the series of enhanced versions developed based on the Twelve Zodiac Witches some time ago, or the prototype of the Fantasy Witch recently developed, as well as the mass-production version that is being researched and can be incorporated into the existing system, are enough to serve as the all-round peripheral protection of this fox.
However, precisely because of this, her overall magical abilities are too unbalanced—her flight magic is limited to "being able to fly smoothly," and she not only cannot increase her speed, but her maneuverability is also not as high as other magical girls, and she doesn't have any tactical special moves at all.
This directly led to my severe lack of vocabulary and eloquence when commentating on aerial combat, making it impossible for me to describe the intense chase unfolding in the sky in my mental world:
The silver-white Molten Witch flew at high speed ahead, occasionally making sharp maneuvers to change direction, trying to aim her palm-mounted magic cannon at the dark winged man relentlessly pursuing her from behind.
But whenever she made a change of direction, the owl girl would immediately flap her wings and change her flight posture, following closely behind the witch with almost the same maneuver. She even deliberately chose a more tricky maneuver route to find the best shooting angle for the iris flower that followed closely behind by using the trail of her flight magic.
The two pursued each other from near-ground altitude all the way to a height that was almost beyond the reach of cameras. The trajectories of their flying magic intersected and became chaotic, with the two trails merging into one, forming a vast net of magical trails that was covering the sky, dazzling the eyes of onlookers.
"...Senior Bai Ling, can you keep up with them?" Yue Tianxin glanced worriedly at the white sable elf who was staring at the camera, trying to focus and film, and whispered.
The latter was currently staring wide-eyed, trying to control the camera to keep up, but the continuous high-acceleration maneuvers were simply beyond the stargazer's ability to follow, and after a while, it began to groan softly:
"Ouch... my eyes, my eyes are getting blurry..."
"Give me the camera, Senior Bai Ling, you can take a short rest."
"I can't remove this camera at all, Xin Yuehu! You didn't do this too, did you?!"
Xin Yuehu ignored Bai Ling's sable calls and responded with a smile, offering no verbal reply.
Abandoning focusing and tracking, Bai Ling instead used a wide-angle lens to capture the entire sky. The intricate flight paths in the sky were dizzying to look at. Following the extended trajectory of the flying magic, she could barely find the two shadows still locked in a full-speed battle at the very front.
"Is this what high-level magical girl aerial combat is like...?"
The nightingale murmured something under its breath, then involuntarily sighed:
"How long are they planning to keep this up? At this rate, I feel like they won't be able to decide a winner for another ten minutes or so."
"Don't worry, Sakuya only needs to find a shooting angle that the iris can use. The flight path she needs to figure out is much shorter than that witch's. We should see the results soon."
Cheshire Rabbit narrowed its eyes and transformed into its intelligence rabbit mode to provide an explanation.
As expected, the first magic cannon shot, which bloomed like irises in the sky, grazed the Molten Witch's toes with a beam of magic. The surging shockwave shattered her silver ankle instantly, turning it into magical particles that scattered in all directions.
Hit by a single shot, the witch immediately tried to maneuver and spread out the line of fire, but the density of the Iris's artillery fire was far higher than that of ordinary firepower. In the blink of an eye, she was subjected to continuous small-caliber suppression. The wounds on the witch's body gradually accumulated, and she was finally shot down from the air to the ground, creating a large crater.
"A brilliant attack! Iris lived up to expectations, successfully shooting down the Steel Witch with the help of flight support provided by Miss Sakuya, who has now entered the fray!"
Su Tianqing was overjoyed to take over the commentary, her face filled with a sense of relief.
With the witch shot down, the situation finally became clear—no matter how powerful she was, she was just a technology demonstrator without much offensive magic. She was destroyed by the second super magic beam from the Four Seasons Machine God and dissipated into magic, thus announcing the end of the Monster 12 extermination battle.
...It's best to end it now. If the Molten Witch decides to have another aerial battle with Iris and the others, I'll have to consider forcing her to shut down and log off.
Do you know how troublesome and thankless it is to commentate on air combat?
Ordinary people can't understand the aerial combat logic of magical girls at all—the most basic is what pursuit and mid-fire shooting is, and the more advanced is like cats climbing, diving and striking and escaping. Up to this point, it is still relatively easy to understand and is more in line with the aesthetic logic of most people.
Ultimately, it's still about magical girls chasing and fighting each other, which is pleasing to the eye and allows viewers to leave comments and cheer for their favorite magical girl.
But if you go any higher, it's a realm that ordinary people can't even touch... such as positioning and spatial maneuvering, then path optimization and tangential suppression, followed by counter-maneuvering from a disadvantageous position and sustained suppression from an advantageous position...
The theory alone is enough to give you a headache, and it gets even more complicated in actual combat. Even a stargazer like Bai Ling, who has a certain foundation, can't keep up with the entanglement between two aerial combat experts. How can you expect ordinary people who don't know magic to watch it with great interest?
"Is this the first time everyone in the live stream has witnessed such a high level of air combat? Aren't you all eager to hear a detailed explanation of this exciting air battle from me, Fox Fox?"
The fox girl turned to look at the main photographer, chuckled, and said...
"Hehe—but not this time! The aerial combat analysis will be handled by the seniors lurking in the live stream! I still need to go visit Qiu Gui and the others, so remember to tune in tonight! I'll be providing live coverage from the very beginning!"
The live stream screen slowly faded out, switching to a Q-version fox wagging its tail and dancing to end the stream. A chorus of groans immediately filled the chat, but then, as usual, the chat began to repeat the ending message.
"Goodbye, Fox!" "See you tonight!" "Fox Mommy!"
While the golden-haired fox girl was busy with the live stream, in the world of her mind, Shuo Ye, who had just finished an extremely intense aerial battle, was now completely exhausted. She plopped down on the ground, stretching her wings to relax her body while breathing heavily.
"Huff...huff...so tired, I'm exhausted..." the eagle owl girl muttered to herself.
He even had a feeling that if he hadn't consistently practiced flying, he probably wouldn't have been able to handle today's sudden air battle.
A fair-skinned girl appeared before her and reached out her hand.
"Are you alright, Sakuya?" Iris asked with concern.
"Gurgle... It's nothing, I'm fine, just a little tired." The eagle-owl girl took a couple of deep breaths, and without thinking much, she put her wing on the girl's outstretched hand, used the strength to stand up, and looked up at the dilapidated mental world around her.
"Thanks to you this time, otherwise I really wouldn't have known how to deal with that witch."
"Oh, you flatter me. I only carried you for a short while..."
Being praised so directly, the eagle owl girl shyly wrapped herself under her wings and chuckled as she spoke.
Before the two could continue their conversation, Qiu Gui and the other three hurriedly arrived in front of Iris and Shuo Ye.
"Iris! And Shuoye!" Qiugui said, "Are you two free later? I'd like to ask you for a favor."
"Help? Sure, what exactly?" Iris replied kindly.
Seeing this, Qiu Gui didn't beat around the bush and simply said directly:
"The battle just now made me realize the limitations of the Ultra Galaxy Shiki Machine God, so we decided to enhance its performance before facing Monster 13."
Qiu Gui said excitedly,
"That is, what's called—an additional soldier!"
