The goblin Totokani looked at the spherical radar and the map device beside it.
The former uses the magic arcane eye to detect the up, down, left, and right directions outside the airship, and transmits the real scene to a spherical crystal. The airship is located at the center of the sphere, and is used to accurately grasp external information. After all, the Sid is a fully covered design.
, there is no window to peek out. If you want to know the topography of the ground and whether there are birds or other airships approaching, you can only rely on this set of radars.
The latter is a tracking map with its own GPS positioning. However, Midi does not have GPS satellite support, so this is a dynamic process that is supplemented and improved by integrating the map information in Lin's hands and continuously collecting terrain information through airships.
Map. The positioning of the airship is of course also the result of inference from the landforms and features.
The map information recorded here will also be updated simultaneously with the information stored somewhere in the forum. It can be said that even if Totokani does not give a share of the Sid's commercial income to a certain magician, just this secret
The updated map information can be said to be worthwhile.
Of course, a certain goblin didn't know all this. If he knew, Totokani would definitely complain to someone because he had done so much work in vain and not received any compensation. So Totokani
Tokarni's vicious remarks against someone can be said to be not unjust.
However, the matter in front of him had nothing to do with a certain magician far away. Totokani repeatedly confirmed that he was indeed close to Duke Rizal's residence, so he began to control the Sid to lower its altitude.
Due to the flexibility of the Sid, the hull can move vertically up and down. Of course, this is a driving method that does not consider the comfort of passengers.
Unless there is an emergency, Totokani is still used to ascending and descending slowly. On the other hand, because of several sudden elevations and descents, unsecured cargo and passengers rolled around in the cabin. Things were broken and people were injured.
Be careful, it would be troublesome to smash the internal devices of the airship. So after suffering a few hardships, Totokani stopped showing off his superb operating skills in front of others or in private.
The lower half of the spherical radar instrument reveals more topography as the airship gets closer to the ground, and the walls of White Fox City also appear from the edge.
White Fox Castle does not have a city wall, but White Fox City does.
According to the convention of Lost Land, the sky above the populated areas is a no-fly zone. In addition to the self-restraint of magicians, it is mainly designed for flying monsters. As long as there are monsters with a certain power level and above entering the sky above the town, there are ways to fight them.
will knock the opponent down. Therefore, airships are usually parked outside the city or at designated locations within the city.
However, White Fox City was not today's destination, so Totokani controlled the Sid to bypass White Fox City and fly towards White Fox Castle on the hill.
As a defense system of a fortress group, White Fox Fort has a taller fortress on the outside and a lower inside, showing a concave shape. In addition to interconnecting tunnels, there are also high-altitude connecting passages that allow people in the main fort to directly access the surrounding areas.
The arrow tower is used for defensive operations.
The tops of the surrounding defensive towers are conical, which not only facilitates drainage, but also makes it less likely for snow to accumulate on them and collapse the roof. At the end of winter, when the snow is sparse, the top of the arrow tower is bare and black.
The tiles overlapped and no residual snow was seen.
There is a large platform on the central main fort, which has many uses, one of which is to park airships. If the host is defeated, as long as there is time, the airship can be entrusted to pick up people from the air. Most of the enemy forces can only look back and sigh.
.
As for the special operations of parachute invasion... Just think about it, even on the earth where a certain time traveler lived, there were not many forces who had this skill. It was hundreds or even thousands of years too early to think of doing this in the Lost Land.
.
Of course, if technology is not enough and magic is used, it is possible to achieve this kind of combat with suitable soldiers. But the difficulty and cost of training such soldiers may not be the same as the distinction between ordinary troops and special forces on earth. I'm afraid
Only a brave-level team can do it.
Not to mention the surprise invasion of the airship. From the time the lookout noticed the trace of the airship to the time the airship landed on the invasion platform, the magic tower and arrow tower responsible for defense could not compete with the airship in the sky.
How many rounds?
If the number of airships is insufficient, how can they be the opponent of a defensive fortress supported by magic towers? If there are enough airships, how about a surprise attack? Just blast the ground to pieces in the air, and then send the marine infantry to walk in openly.
.
Even at the speed of the Sid, Totokani was frightened when approaching such a combat fortress. Fortunately, the Sid was entrusted by Duke Rizal and had been notified through the forum in advance.
Therefore, the defensive magic towers in the fortress group will not fire upon seeing the shadow of the boat.
Compared with the original Sid, which did not have reversing and deceleration devices, forcing someone to use special flight maneuvers to slow down. Today's perfect Sid has full spoiler and engine reversing functions.
Movements in the air are not only fast, but also flexible. So Totokani gently and deftly parked the airship on the central platform surrounded by arrow towers. The movements were smooth and smooth, without any feeling of stumbling.
On the platform, there was already a group of strong armored warriors waiting in line. In the radar screen, Totokani even saw nobles in gorgeous clothes. It was the first time for goblins to be treated with such courtesy.
In the past, when taking on business related to nobles, unless it was to pick up and drop off the nobles themselves, there was never a time when the deacons of these nobles did not come forward to contact me. Especially in those days when people were disgusted with ghosts, they would send the grooms of the stables to explain.
Take care of yourself.
Now that he is flying the Sid, Totokani feels that his cards are getting better. He is different from the other idiots who are also flying airships. No matter how others brag, no airship is faster than the Sid.
Even faster, this is an unchanging fact.
So the goblin is proud.
When he parked the airship, he first stopped it. The hull of the airship, equipped with landing gear, could stay on the ground safely without having to maintain a floating state. After all, the airship would still be running at idle speed.
Continuously consuming power. For stingy goblins, this is an unforgivable sin.
However, he and his daughter still arranged each other's appearance and clothing together, then opened the hatch and got off the boat with a smile.
Then he saluted and said, "Lord Rizal, Totokani Afstan is here to serve you at your call." When the goblin raised his head, what greeted him was not a warm smile and a friendly greeting.
Greetings, but the cold arrowheads pierced into his eyeballs.
There was a constant popping sound of arrows falling into the body. Not only the goblin Totokani, but also his daughter Polly who was following behind him were not spared. The high martial arts of the Duke's Guards allowed them to shoot arrows without the preparatory action of drawing the bow.
Once you get your hands on it, you can shoot the arrow instantly. Because of this, you can shoot the goblin into a hedgehog before it reacts.
After a round of arrow attacks, everyone did not have the bad habit of standing still and watching the situation. Instead, they abandoned their bows and drew their swords, ran forward, and added a few more swords to the corpse. After making sure that the two goblins were dead and could no longer die, they
Then they gave up their position near the airship hatch and waited for their master's orders.
Duke Rizal did indeed come to greet the Sid in person, but it was different from what the dead goblin imagined. He instructed his subordinates in disgust, and pulled the two small corpses apart. First, he took the
The people walked around the Sid and made some comments. Then they walked from the hatch ladder into the cabin of this airship, which was famous for its speed.
At the other end, another group of people walked out of the stairwell on the roof. Led by the old Duke's eldest son and heir, in addition to a group of generals belonging to the Rizal family, there were also a few people who did not look like nobles, nor did they look like others.
People who serve the nobles. Finally, a group of nobles came to watch the fun, including several children of the old Duke and his vassals.
If Totokani was still alive, he would be able to recognize a few of them. These people are also people in the small circle of airships, and they are the group who love to question the performance of the Sid.
It's just that the ones who buy the goods are the ones who dislike it. The reason why these people like to argue with Totokani, the goblin, on the forum is not because they are jealous of the various performances of the Sid.
Especially not long ago, this group of people had just sold the airship they had built and used for a long time. They were planning to find a sponsor to build a new airship.
No, the big buyer who took over the medieval airship offered another good deal, a replica of the Sid. So they stayed. And this group of people, the old Duke didn’t need the goblins and his daughter.
reason.
Now they followed the young master of the Rizal family into the cabin of the Sid.
This airship is well-known on the forum. Even if it is in a stopped state, as long as the cabin is opened, the most basic lights will be lit inside, so that people will not be in the dark, but it will not be too bright. The layout of the cabin is very different from
It is a general airship plan, but after all, it has been in the business of transporting passengers, so the general situation has long been circulated on the forum.
What intrigued this group of people the most was the core of the airship, that is, the flotation device and the engine configuration that drives the propeller. These parts were well protected by goblins with covers, so they had never been seen by outsiders.
But it wasn't their turn to make the decision here yet. It meant that among this group of people, there were more people who were interested in clinging to the powerful than just technical enthusiasts. So they didn't run around recklessly after boarding the boat.
"Father, I have brought you here." The young master of the Rizal family said respectfully. Duke Rizal's authority was so strong that even his own son did not dare to challenge it.
Rizal just compared the differences in the internal cabin layout between the Sid in front of him and the airship he bought before. Then he thought about what kind of form his troop transport ship would need. As for his son's greeting, he was confused.
He didn't reply, he just said: "It looks like there's a big difference between what you sold me. Are you sure you can start it, or even imitate it?"
Hearing Duke Rizal's question, the group of airship technicians did not wait for others to pretend to explain, and responded directly: "Sir, there is absolutely no problem in starting. There may be some differences in the internal design, but in terms of control, the method
But they are very similar. We are people who can build airships, instead of buying them from others and only knowing how to simple repair them. Besides, the two goblins can control it, which means that the Sid is not so noble that it needs to be operated by a magician.
control."
"Well, then start it and at least light up the internal lights. This way, you won't be able to see anything clearly," Lord Rizal ordered.
