On the ground, a huge searchlight more than a meter in diameter suddenly charged up, emitting a brilliant light that instantly pierced the entire sky.
It was like a holy sword, slicing through the darkness and then gradually tilting, as if to cleave the night itself in two.
Aboard a Qi Country airship, the airship commander from Shireck was startled by the light before him; he had not expected the enemy to install such a bright bulb in such a godforsaken place.
"Maintain course! They shouldn't have that many anti-aircraft..." the Shireck captain hadn't even finished speaking when he saw the beam of light starting to tilt, until it was pressing down on his own airship.
The light shone on the huge Qi Country emblem on the side of the airship against the background of the night, making the mark look so clear, so dazzling.
What he wanted to say was that Tang Country couldn't possibly deploy so many anti-aircraft guns in a place with no defensive value.
