Editing City Series:Volume6c Chapter6 (section)

===Part 6===

The white Grösse Panzer named Kaiser was fighting at an altitude of 20 thousand feet.

The area below it was flooded with enemies. They were like the water flowing through a river. The Kaiser didn’t even need to aim to hit one.

The Kaiser instructed the blue and red Panzers to move out ahead while it ascended with Panzer Kleid rippling. Looking down, it could see the river of destruction was primarily made of giant bombers.

The wide Lancaster Mk2s were 23 yards long and 36 yards wide and they used 6-bomber formations arranged at different altitudes to avoid gathering together in a flat plane that would make them easier to shoot down all at once.

They flew with four spirit engine jets, but they flew slowly since the output of the engines was reduced to keep them under control in the moonlight.

The smaller crafts flying protectively above and below the bombers were escort fighters.

Those were England’s famous Spitfires. 24 of them were gathered in every break between the bomber formations.

But that wasn’t all. Aerial cruisers also flew through the gaps between bomber formations.

The Spitfires protected the bomber formation either following or leading them and the aerial warships acted as a barrier for any enemy crafts attempting to move from one bomber formation to another.

The arrangement took all of their attack ranges into account.

Three ships were visible in the distance. An aerial cruiser with a destroyer on either side of it.

The white Grösse Panzer approached that aerial cruiser instead of the bomber formations.

The aerial warship launched Pseudo-Drach Kanone beams.

But the Kaiser dodged that light as easily as racing through an empty field.

It raised its six wings, slammed them down, and sometimes spread them to change course while always moving ever forward. The light grazed its sides, elbows, and wingtips, but it never allowed a single direct hit.

Carried by the dragon emblems on its shoulders, it raced through the night sky with a roar of wind.

Finally, that several-mile midair dash came to an end.

The white Grösse Panzer had reached the three large ships.

The Kaiser had arrived at its primary target.

It rapidly braked and then jerked to the left.

It flew to the destroyer’s port side, where its port cannons could take aim.

Just as the portside armor opened up and the cannons emerged, the Kaiser stabbed its sword into the destroyer’s belly using a backhand grip.

With a loud crash, the sword sank in to the hilt.

The following noise sounded like the roar of great quantities of water.

The Kaiser spread its six wings and poured on all the acceleration it could muster.

The slice had begun.

The acceleration sliced the destroyer’s belly open with the sword.

The scream of tearing metal was in tune with the Kaiser’s acceleration.

It sliced through to the bow in mere moments.

And then…

“Ah,” rang a voice with the sword still piercing the destroyer.

It started with a sound.

A burning sound rang out into the night sky.

With a tone of surprise, all of the ship’s windows shattered, its metal bulkheads ruptured, and white-hot light erupted from within.

The damage did not end there.

The force pushing out from the horizontal fissure split it apart vertically.

The destroyer was more than 150 yards long, yet it was bisected from its split belly.

It was like a colossal creature had scratched the fissure with a massive claw, splitting it all the way open.

The ship split apart, its bottom half separating as a flat rectangle.

Only the top half above the waterline remained floating in the sky.

But that wasn’t going to last.

The top half was kept afloat by its float emblems, but the metal continued to cry out in protest as it spewed the contents of its belly into the air below.

That included ammo containers, fuel tanks, and the giant engines for its rear thrusters. Those engines were 40 yards long and 7 yards in diameter, so without the lower frame to support them, their own thrust tilted them downwards and accelerated them in that direction.

The ship could not survive its own momentum and bent down the center.

The destroyer bent like it had been punched from above.

The thrust of the giant engines joined that and the ammo and fuel were ignited by the power of the moonlight.

The explosion blossomed out from within.

All of the armor was blown away and the destroyer was enveloped in flames.

It burned.

The frame remained, so a flaming hulk shaped like a destroyer started descending from the sky.

The giant bonfire fell, leaving behind only the fiery petals of its explosions and the white Grösse Panzer.

The Kaiser did not even watch the defeated ship fall.

It kicked off the air and took flight with the casualness of someone on a simple evening stroll.

It dodged the barrage of bullets and Drache Kanone beams to arrive in a blind spot of the aerial cruiser flying in the center.

That is, directly above the bridge.

It spun around in the air, readied its sword, and dropped down.

It could see the top of the bridge and it landed there with the force of a crash.

By then, the sword had already stabbed its full length into the bridge’s roof.

A roar of destruction left the Kaiser’s mouth.
