Chapter 780: Fog reconnaissance, strategy recovery(1/2)
The three people have different divisions of labor. Mariel is responsible for controlling the defensive arrow towers on the north, west, and east.
Howie is responsible for the defensive buildings in the south and territory and observes and summarizes the situation in all directions.
Vereesa is responsible for mobilizing troops and generals based on the situation, and coordinates operations with the defensive arrow towers.
"The black light is the largest in the north, which is most likely the direction where the enemies are concentrated."
"The black light in the east is sparse, and the remaining two sides are more average."
"Maril, please adjust the gunner's perspective of the magic artillery tower and see if you can see the gray fog."
The projections in front of Howie are all composed of the [Commander Tower (orange)] connecting the sentry towers within the territory and various buildings with the [Eye of True Sight] effect.
Able to perform a certain degree of observation and sight distance adjustment under the influence of the [Eye of True Sight].
At this time, all the authority of this part was gathered in front of Howie.
He turned around and reported to the two of them based on the real-time situation.
This is the upper half of [Commander Tower (orange)] but not the top, because the top is easily attacked, and the middle and upper middle sections are the safest.
The command room as a whole is a ring-shaped reinforced room with three workstations.
Each workbench can be used by a commander to occupy and control the authority within the tower.
You can also divide the permissions in advance. This division can be lifted at any time and the permissions of the entire tower can be shared.
After the [Commander Tower (orange)] was built, most of the related buildings in the territory were connected.
This is like a command terminal with permissions, capable of summarizing building permissions.
This enables centralized scheduling and control, which is a great convenience and advantage for defensive warfare!
After hearing Howie's report, Mariel immediately tried to use the command tower authority to remotely control a [Magic Energy Turret] placed in the north, and successfully entered [Gunner Mode] for overlooking observation.
Unfortunately, this perspective still cannot see through the situation inside the fog.
"No, I still can't see what's behind the gray fog."
Mariel exited [Gunner Mode] and turned to Howie and shook her head.
At this time, Vereesa, who was sitting on the other side, suddenly spoke.
"I asked Bot stationed in the north to dispatch the [Magical Mechanical Falcon] to investigate."
After saying this, she immediately used the sound transmission function of the command tower to notify the garrison in the north of the territory.
Bot is a fighting hero who inherited an unclaimed territory.
His talents and abilities are quite good, and his mind is quite flexible.
Now he has been assigned a certain combat mission, serving as the node and command hero of the northern garrison.
He has prepared some practical and portable props in his portable storage compartment.
This [Magic Mechanical Falcon] Zong Shen originally used challenge points to redeem a lot of [auxiliary props].
It was used by him as a tool to assist reconnaissance in the early stage. It can transmit the images seen by the [Mechanical Falcon] back in real time in the form of magic energy projection, which is very practical.
It is now distributed to frontline combat heroes as an auxiliary tool for reconnaissance situations.
Vereesa is also a veteran hero in the territory, and a legendary hero among the elves.
Therefore, when Mariel and Howie faced Vereesa, they would feel their auras being suppressed.
She was also vaguely the dominant figure in the command room.
Her orders passed through the sound transmission function of the [Commander's Tower (Orange)], and sounded like a regional broadcast in the defensive position in the north of the territory.
After receiving the order, Bot, who was on the front line, immediately took out the [Magic Mechanical Falcon] and the matching projection crystal from the storage compartment. All the falcons have been charged and can be released for reconnaissance at any time.
After confirming that it was correct, Bot raised his hand, and the metal wings of the [Magic Mechanical Falcon] spread out, and a little light cyan wind energy surrounded it to assist its flight.
The mechanical falcon flapped its wings and flew towards the gray mist ahead according to his instructions.
This fog of war is clearly visible, at least nearly 20 kilometers behind the outer perimeter of the defense circle.
This distance is exactly the radius of Zong Shen's current territory.
Where there is no fog, everything is normal and observation can be carried out normally.
But where there is fog, it is just a blur, and nothing can be seen clearly.
The place shrouded in mist is outside Zong Shen's territory, where the blackened orcs are deployed.
It was obvious that the lord system still respected the scope of his territory, and did not put the blackened orcs closer because Zong Shen shrank his defense.
Clear rules and clear settings prove that this challenge is quite formal.
After releasing the [Magic Mechanical Falcon], Bot immediately mounted a hybrid prairie horse that was waiting nearby, and galloped away in the direction in which the Mechanical Falcon flew away!
Along the way, they bypassed dug trenches and deployed roadblocks to resist horses.
He stopped after only advancing 11 or 12 kilometers. It was enough to get here!
Because the effective detection range of the [Magic Mechanical Falcon] is 10 kilometers, if it exceeds this distance, it will not be able to send back images and may lose control.
The current level of Zong Shen's territory is LV19, which means that the territory is a circular area with a radius of 19 kilometers.
The outer defense line is about two or three kilometers away from the Lord's Fortress, so Bot still needs to ride a hybrid prairie horse for twelve or three kilometers to extend the detection range of the [Magic Mechanical Falcon] beyond the fog of war.
The mixed-breed prairie horse has fine scales on its neck and is the standard military horse of the Kingdom of Avalon. The more scales, the higher the level of the horse.
There are not many of these horses in their territory, and their speed is much faster than ordinary prairie horses.
But it took him seven to eight minutes to advance more than ten kilometers.
Time passed but during the deployment, the fog showed no sign of lifting.
Bot stopped his horse in time. From here, the fog in the north was only a few kilometers away from him.
When viewed up close, the fog looks like extremely stable gray clouds.
If viewed from the air, the territory looks like an isolated island sunk in a gray ocean.
This feeling is very depressing, like being under siege.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! What makes people feel even more anxious is that no one knows what is hidden in the fog.
He opened his palms and activated the crystal projection.
At this moment, the [Magic Mechanical Falcon] has flown into the fog, and logically it should be able to send back images.
After waiting for a while, the crystal projected a beam of light, forming a picture.
The first thing that catches the eye is the endless haze.
The falcon is still flying, heading towards the limit of its effective detection range.
Suddenly, the outline of the sentry tower and camp appeared vaguely in the screen.
Just when Bert opened his eyes to take a closer look, the projected image suddenly disappeared.
"Crack..."
There was a faint crisp sound, and Bert looked down at the projection crystal in his hand, and found that it was already covered with cracks.
The [Magical Mechanical Falcon] also lost its senses, and he was unable to give any instructions!
He did not dare to delay, so he quickly turned the horse's head and slapped the horse's butt hard. The hybrid prairie horse neighed, raised its hooves and ran quickly towards the defense circle of the territory.
In the command tower, Vereesa watched Bot from a distance through the view of the nearby sentry tower.
However, because the distance is too far, the sentry tower's [Eye of True Seeing] does not have the ability to increase the sight distance.
So after Bert walked away, she couldn't see him anymore.
Another seven or eight minutes passed before Bot returned to where he was.
Everyone had been tipped before and knew that the nearby guard tower was the eyes and ears of the control tower.
So Bot immediately ran to the nearest sentry tower, raised his head and loudly told Vereesa what the [Magic Mechanical Falcon] had seen and the situation of the lost contact!
After receiving the news, Vereesa, Mariel, and Howie looked at each other.
"Since the outlines of sentry towers and camps appear in the mist, it means that the opponent is not only coming with troops, but also a complete camp!"
"I will report to your Excellency now!"
Vereesa said urgently, using the sound transmission function to amplify the sound on the high tower of the lord's fortress.
…
When Zong Shen learned the news, the countdown in the sky had changed to 23:29:42.
Sixteen minutes have passed since the release ended!
The fog still hasn't dissipated. I don't know whether it will continue to exist or whether it will dissipate before the attack.
And Zong has been trying hard to contact the strategy module.
It's a pity that the strategy module is still intermittent.
According to the last challenge announcement, the 15 to 60 minutes after the countdown appears are the deployment time, so he does not have to worry about the Dark Orcs launching a surprise attack.
