When approaching the protective shield, these members unfolded the special magic swords in their hands and cut quickly. The shield in front of them dissipated within seconds, and then they rushed in.
At this time, the weakness of the Donghuzhou team's aircraft in close combat was exposed. It was difficult for the pilots in the aircraft to get out of the cabin to fight, and once the aircraft was destroyed, it also meant that they were out. Soon, with only one person eliminated, the contestants from Muqingzhou eliminated all of Donghuzhou.
Now the only opponent left in the night sky was contestant He Xingzhou who was still moving around.
The two sides once again engaged in a roaming battle. Because both sides' propulsion methods were similar to jets, with fast speeds but slow turning times, there were often only one or two opportunities for real combat after several rounds.
Relying on the machine gun under the cabin and the continuous shooting of Feijin's enchanted bullets, He Xingzhou's contestants began to gain the upper hand. They just had to keep a good distance and prevent the opponent from getting close.
The competition was fierce, and then He Xingzhou's contestants eliminated all their opponents. Only two scarred flying fish-shaped aircraft were left on the field, flying in circles in the sky.
"Okay, now the first match is over, and the winners are the two contestants from He Xingzhou."
…
In the subsequent competitions, new types of aircraft continued to take off, including triangular suits that could be freely combined, magical armor styles that did not affect the driver's movements, traditional airplane styles, and flying saucer styles that could rotate and cut, and so on.
Although mechanical-like aircraft are fast and have powerful weapons, they cannot fight in the air for too long due to energy constraints. If they are delayed until the end, they will be inferior to opponents with light aircraft. On the other hand, light aircraft are also destined to have low defense and are extremely easy to become cannon fodder and be shot down by the opponent. The choice depends on the arrangements of the contestants.
Since entering the new era, this is the third Meteor Contest, and it is also the largest one so far. Almost all states in the world have sent teams to participate, and the audience is also very enthusiastic. Many people even came from thousands of miles away on floating boats.
The fourth day of competition.
"Oh——" A huge cheer came from Luojing. It turned out that the battle in the sky had reached its most intense part.
Three crimson aircraft were chasing a young man with two enormous mechanical wings. These wings were shimmering with orange-yellow light patterns, and jets of air streamed from beneath each feather, accelerating the aircraft's speed. Meanwhile, the young man below was maneuvering and rolling in the air, avoiding the three red eagle-like aircraft behind him.
After another huge rolling movement, he took advantage of the moment when the opposite plane was climbing and slowing down, and suddenly turned around and went straight down. Then a deep blue beam of light flashed, cutting a deep red aircraft in half, revealing the stunned and injured pilot inside.
"The competition is over, and the winners are the two contestants from Beisongzhou and contestant Zhai Han from Qibaizhou." The host said excitedly, because the rules of the competition are that as long as the number of remaining people is less than or equal to 3, the round will end directly, which means that the young man will not have to face other opponents after trying his best.
"Well, today's competition ends here, and the final will start tomorrow, so stay tuned." After the words fell, the venue slowly came to an end that night. Many people left their seats slowly with a sense of unfulfilled desire. On the way, they kept talking about certain clips and scenes from the competition, some with regret, some with excitement.
Deep in the palace, Loran Hill sat in front of a soft lamp, reading the report in front of him. When he saw the fireworks rising in the distance, he put down the book in his hand, picked up the cup beside him and took a sip of tea.
The windows and walls are well soundproofed. Although the night sky is brilliant, the room is still very quiet. In a small nest on the counter nearby, two birds are squatting together, resting with their eyes closed. One of them occasionally smacks its beak, as if it is eating something in a dream.
The persimmon-red porcelain cup was gently placed on the table. Loran Hill moved her gaze from the distant night sky and returned it to the page in front of her. Her slender fingers flipped the pages under the orange light, making a slight rolling sound that could be clearly heard in the room. Then the girl's fingers gradually stopped and she looked at the line of names and introductions on the report.
"Candidates for the Chief Heavenly Official... Yu Caifeng, Tang Xiayan, Wu Xingkui..." These are the dozen or so names she listed recently. Most of them are outstanding figures among the officials of the four seasons, and some are important officials from local prefectures.
Because the country has gradually returned to the right track, she is also ready to retire and delegate power. Of course, it is not the kind of sudden delegation of power, but a gradual one, slowly letting the country and the people get used to the days when she is away, and then diluting the influence of Phoenix.
It is impossible for her to always be the actual leader of the country. This is not a good thing. Just as people need normal metabolism, the country's top officials should also have a metabolic mechanism. Otherwise, if it is always the same people, they will just rot slowly like a stagnant pool of water.
Even an immortal witch is not suitable to be the direct leader of a country. As an intelligent being, she will get bored and change. What is suitable now does not mean it will always be suitable. This is why since the Mercury Dynasty, although witches can also influence the situation in the country, they have never directly become consuls. This is the case with Si Ye, Tidaisi, Suqin, etc.
"I feel like it's a bit difficult to choose." Loran Hill put down the report, sighed lightly, leaned back in the chair and closed her eyes. Her white gauze dress reflected a faint golden halo in the light. This was because some special silver threads were used in the skirt, making it simple as a whole while maintaining a certain gorgeousness.
"But I should make up my mind and prepare to go to Antarctica next year." She muttered softly, then tilted her head and took a nap on the back of the chair.
