The Transmigration Survival Guide

Book 12: Chapter 15

What mission? Alice stood up and jogged over to ask.

Lin Chucheng inhaled and answered, Send the child to my tent and prepare to fly. The target is the enemy aircraft carrier.

On it.

Lin Chucheng strode forward, but someone grabbed him from behind. He looked back to see Oraina and juddered.

Lin Chucheng, I approved of your request to join the battle. With that said, you have to be aware of who you are. You are to follow me in this mission. You are not to attack without my order. I want you sticking close to the fighter jet team, understood? I wont accept any defiance!

Yes, Maam.

I wont ask about the girl before the battle is over. However, I expect a detailed report afterwards. Sort her out as soon as possible. Oraina stole a gander in the hangars direction and added before strolling off without waiting for a response.

Yes Maam.

The team preparing for take-off wasnt the only people on edge. There was loud braying all across the hangar, metal clanging and gunpowder permeating in the air. Handling the logistics sounded simple only on paper. The pilot and the aircraft may go out with a bang and end up as scrap, but that was no excuse for them to slack. They had to believe those flying would come back and to ensure they were best equipped to increase their chances of survival.

Lin Chucheng entered his aircraft. Adjusting herself in the backseat, Alice said, I told her to wait in the tent. I dont know if she understood my instructions, but I suppose shed fall asleep soon given how tired she should be.

Uhm

Lin Chucheng fiddled with his dial and checked for any abnormalities. Fortunately, everything was functioning as it shouldve. He gave his ground team the thumbs up. They stepped back and saluted him to see him off.

As the planes moved to the runway, Oraina instructed over the radio, All dive bombers are to immediately take off. Our navy has already engaged the enemy and requires immediate support. The mission may be important, but you are our air forces most precious asset, so please dont make any mistakes. Take flight!

Lin Chucheng gulped and looked over his shoulder. He blurted without thinking, Alice, you scared?

Not as scared as you since Im not piloting, answered Alice, calm as she usually was. Plus, I know how competent you are as a pilot. I have absolute faith in you. I know you can bring us home safely.

If If

If anything goes awry, I hope you can swim because Ill need you to save me. I cant swim, after all.

Neither can I.

In that case, dont let us fall, hehehe.

A reassured smile came to Lin Chuchengs lips without him realising. He shoved the control joystick and began his ascent, eyes fixed on only the blue sky.

Get into your teams and adjust your radio frequencies to communicate with the navys fighter jets, commanded Oraina.

Lin Chucheng came up behind Orainas aircraft.

Air force bomber unit? Weve confirmed the enemy aircraft carriers coordinates. The four of them are together. Our bomber team cant get into range, so we need your support! someone shouted over the radio.

Coordinates received. We will proceed with the first bombing now. We have a total of twenty-four bombers. Aircraft carrier, please ready the runway and supplies for us.

Our fighter jet team is closing in on your position and shall provide protection while you are in the air. Were hoping for good news from you.

Oraina swooped down. Lin Chucheng peered outside. He didnt see an enemy aircraft carrier. Instead, he saw the one of their planes burning away on the water surface.

How many have died? How many knights of the sky fell here?

A perk if it could be called that of being a pilot compared to other jobs in the military was never having to see bloody corpses as no corpses were ever seen if they died.

The pilots kept mum due to their pent-up tension. Lin Chucheng was glad to see the navys fighter jets arrive overhead.

Everyone in formation. Pay attention to the enemy fighter jets positions. Our target is the enemys aircraft carriers. If theres no way of bombing them, return to the hangar to prepare for a second attempt. This is our first clash with Troys pilots. Our kingdom is a noble kingdom. Our soldiers are the best knights. Dont disgrace our homeland, but dont make your family shed tears, either. Mission, commence!

Roger!
