As Zhou Yi's order was issued, a soldier quickly ran up the wall.

"Reporting to the general, the wind direction is correct and the troops can be dispatched!"

"Then take action immediately!"

After receiving the clear order to dispatch, huge red balloons suddenly began to slowly rise into the sky in Storm City.

In a short while, the height completely exceeded the city wall, and then it flew higher.

The movement here undoubtedly attracted the attention of the goblins immediately.

"That's a hot air balloon?!"

At this moment, in the forest area, a big goblin was holding a telescope and observing the battlefield in the distance.

And this big goblin is none other than the invading player Yodel Senko!

As a big goblin with the soul of a modern player, Yoder undoubtedly recognized the hot air balloon.

Just as his thoughts were whirling, the hot-air balloon troops taking off from Storm City had slowly flown into the battlefield.

Then, amidst the roaring sounds, an extremely "lively" bombing was staged!

"Damn! An airdrop of explosives?!"

Yoder's heart twitched hard twice as his guess was verified.

On the hot air balloon, explosive packets were dropped one by one, and one explosion could kill a bunch of his Goblin slave soldiers. The power could be said to be quite powerful, and he couldn't help but feel a little envious in his heart.

The technological power of the Goblin civilization is not low, but it is still weaker than humans.

After developing to the Black Iron rank, although he can completely keep up with the pace of the large army in terms of cold weapons, making hot air balloons and preparing gunpowder are still difficult for the Goblin civilization.

He needs to spend many times more time than humans to conduct this research and production, which can be regarded as a limitation of the system.

In comparison, Yoder did not feel much pain in his heart for the Goblin slave soldiers who were killed by the explosion.

As most players know, the main offensive tactic of his Goblin army is the human sea tactic.

Based on this tactical premise, the population reproduction speed of his Goblin civilization is naturally quite exaggerated, and can be said to have reached the level of a snowball.

This has made Yoder one of the slightly famous invasion players in the Black Iron tier.

He fought the invasion war not only to plunder resources, but also to control the population of his own Goblin civilization.

To put it bluntly, it is to borrow the help of other players to kill the Goblin slave soldiers under his command, thereby alleviating the pressure on the population and food of his Goblin civilization.

To prevent overpopulation and insufficient resources from causing the collapse of other civilizations.

At the same time, you can also attack the city and plunder other players' resources.

This is a great thing for Yodel no matter how you look at it.

Therefore, he would basically not feel any pain at the death of the Goblin slave soldier.

Anyway, they are just a group of cheap troops that are not worth much money at all.

Yodel was filled with envy for the hot air balloon troops who had the advantage in the air and could do whatever they wanted. However, at the same time, he took a few steps back to avoid being accidentally discovered by the opponent and then being attacked by an airdrop.

But in fact, Yoder definitely overthought it, and the hot air balloon force was not as powerful as he thought.

This unit has an almost fatal flaw, that is, they cannot fly freely in the air according to their own will.

People with some knowledge generally know that hot air balloons rely on airflow and wind direction to control their flight direction.

To put it bluntly, it will fly wherever the wind blows.

And if there is a "windless day", the hot air balloon can only go straight up and down, and it is difficult to move laterally. It is basically useless and can only be used as a high-altitude reconnaissance unit.

But wind direction and airflow are things that cannot be controlled by humans.

When you are fighting, it depends on your face whether the wind is blowing or not, and which way the wind is blowing depends even more on your face.

Therefore, if you want to use hot air balloon troops to participate in the war, the first step is to conduct meteorological observations.

Only when the wind direction and weather are ok can we go out.

Of course, if the weather changes after dispatching, it can only be said to be bad luck.

Therefore, this force based on appearance is actually not very useful at all.

For example, in the previous defense battle of Gaoling City, this unit was completely useless.

As for wanting them to fly over a certain target unit and carry out high-altitude bombing, that is even more of a dream. How can this flying method, which basically depends on appearance, be so accurate?

But this time, in the defense battle of Storm City, this force finally showed some value.

Of course, the situation is still not optimistic.

On the one hand, it is naturally because the Goblin army has too many troops. Even if it is aerial bombing, it will be difficult to effectively suppress the opposing troops in a short period of time.

On the other hand, it was because after several rounds of high-altitude bombings, the hot-air balloon troops were carried further and further away by the air currents in the air...

Fortunately, Zhou Yi had already been mentally prepared and could use aerial bombing to harvest a wave of troops on the opposite side. For him, it was already of great value.

As for what happens next, it should be left to the troops who can perform more stably.

After confirming the location of the goblins outside the city, Zhou Yi gave an order loudly.

"Mage troops, prepare for second-level attack spell chanting!"

As the birthplace of the mage arm of all civilizations, there are naturally mage troops stationed in the elven provinces.

They even include a large number of elf mages with more profound cultivation.

Now, after receiving the order from Zhouyi, the brilliance of the spell suddenly shines on the wall of Storm City, accompanied by the surge of elemental power!

"Let me go!!"

With a command, attack spells of various attributes were blasted at the goblin army below the city at the same time.

The power of the spell is roaring on the battlefield! Bringing death to all enemies outside the city!

Facing this supernatural power, the look of envy on Yodel's face became even more intense.

However, he had been mentally prepared for a long time and naturally did not forget to deal with it.

"Blow the horn and let the shamans begin the ceremony!"

As the order was issued, a blast of horns with a unique rhythm echoed on the battlefield.

Goblin shamans, each with bone necklaces hanging around their necks and strange feather crowns on their heads, immediately waved the bone staffs in their hands.

Then while making strange screams, he started dancing on the battlefield like a dancing master.

And as they danced, a strange power began to spread.

The goblins affected by this power let out sharp screams, and at the same time, pairs of eyes turned red due to blood congestion.
