Chapter 1384 Supermarine Spitfires
"Master! My Dragon Devils are under heavy attacks by those stupid flying rats. Do you have anything that could kill them all in one go??" Marquis Forneus asked in the System Channel.
"Aye, Master. My Goblin Wyvern Knights are not able to take down as many as we wished to. Not to mention we are now priority targets by the Flying Rats. Some reinforcements would be appreciated." Wyrstriker said as he struck a Flying Demon Rat and pushed it off his back.
"No, I do not. But I have reinforcements coming in. They are supposedly elite pilots of my era." Jin said as he was referring to the Royal Zodiac Rooster\'s squadron flying the Supermarine Spitfires. And as he replied to Marquis, they had already been teleported into the Farming World through a major portal slightly south of the Northern Capital.
With the energy shield inactivated by Mr Derpy\'s constant sapping of its magic energy, the hole created by the initial earthquake had become an entrance for Pandarens to jump in when they were needed.
The hole was also large enough for that squadron of spitfires to enter without much problem and the Rooster Squadron did not hesitate to dive into it to get into action as soon as possible. They were surprised that the spitfires that they were piloting were easy to manoeuvre mainly because of the controls mimicked the same as their modern planes.
The only difference was the layout was made to look as old as the spitfires themselves. Other than that, most of the information that they needed was on their helmets that were provided alongside the plane. The HUD within the helmet\'s panel was almost equivalent to the future tech. The Roosters had been waiting for the Monkeys to fulfil their side of the bargain to increase their military edge but since all the military research relied on the Monkeys, such a \'minor\' improvement such as a helmet like this was not on their priority list.
To find such a long awaited improvement in their quality of life in a dungeon supplier instance not only instantly raised their liking of the store but also made the pilots excited about the battle that lay ahead of them.
"Rooster Lead to the team, we saw in the streams how fast those ass looking flying rats are. Save the Dragons so that they could provide us with the firepower needed to destroy this damn city. And don\'t worry, the dragon scales are said to be impervious to our shots so go all out saving them but try not to aim their head if possible." Rooster Captain and current Squadron Leader, Zha Ji, said to his team which they all acknowledged as they dived into the hole and saw the hell of the battlefield both on the ground and in mid air.
While the space above the Undercity was considered to be limited, there was indeed enough space for a dogfight between air units and now the Roosters roughly understood why they were given an old war model instead of those high tech looking aircraft like Nerodia.
Speed might be a crucial factor in most dog fights but in such tight airspace like the \'skies\' above the undercity, it was more important to have higher control of their planes since high speeds would only cause them to be reckless and unable to calculate their exit route after shooting. With a slightly slower and more durable plane, the pilots would be able to withstand the harsh airspace above the Undercity.
"The Dungeon Supplier, he is not a simple Instance maker. I am liking him more and more." Mu Ji, the Head of Royal Zodiac Rooster clan said as she quietly watched the stream while looking forward to seeing her elites perform in this particular situation.
The Spitfires returned to formation after they got through the massive opening that led into the Undercity and Zha Ji had just two requests before they got into battle proper. "Do not tarnish the reputation of the Rooster\'s Flying Academy or I will make sure that all of you do three times the drill. And also! The first to be down had to buy everyone the first round of drinks! If we have less than half the casualties by the end of our sortie, I will buy the rest of the rounds!"
Every pilot gave a resounding acknowledgement and each of them flew forward with adrenaline pumping through their veins as they followed their captain Zha Ji into the chaos. The Goblin Wyvern Knights and the Dragon Devils were informed of their presence but they did not expect much from the humans considering how the Pandarens had performed for the past few days.
To be honest, they were hoping for the humans from the Dungeon World, especially from the Seven Cities. City Aljun had a decent fleet of airships and the Dragon Devils thought that they would have a decent chance of turning the tide in this particular situation. Still, to have more hands on deck was better than nothing and Marquis Forneus told his fellow Dragon Devils to continue fighting.
Soon enough as the Supermarine Spitfires enter the fray, they started their slaughtering of those flying rats. The Rooster Squadron had split their teams even further with three spitfires per team with the objective to save one dragon. Their machine guns on the planes were the perfect solution to kill the pests that were bothering the dragons and because of their rapid fire, they were able to remove the flying rats at a faster rate compared to the Goblin Wyvern Knights who were using their breaths of fire to burn them to death,
But that was the only weapon that the Spitfires have. It was as if to complement the name, Jin had ordered those Spitfires to be armed with an onboard flamethrower in its wings as well. This allowed the planes to be true to their name as it spits oil and ignited it to produce a gush of flames so that any incoming Flying Rats that were coming their way would be burned down.
However, because of how the Spitfire was similar to the Demon Rat\'s planes, they assumed that crashing their body forward into the propeller will cause it to stop working. It was a suicidal move but they were so sure that the plan would work that they did not hesitate to do so. Unfortunately for them, Jin\'s military research team was already one step ahead of them and made an engine sturdy enough to not just fly the plane but also acted as a rotating killing blade to whoever came close.
The only problem was that it would slow the plane down momentarily since there was "debris" within the propeller blades. As soon as the debris was cleared by the rotation speed and the speed the fighter plane was going, the Spitfire was ready to get going again.
With such hidden features hidden in this plane, the Roosters did not regret not being able to realise that the spitfire they were piloting was actually a heavily modified unit that was meant to be tougher than any planes they had ridden before.
Thus without a doubt, the menace of the Flying Rats had lessened and with more dragons freed from their pesky attackers, Jin\'s Alliance of Monsters and Humans were proving to hold air superiority in this current situation.
