Airships carrying out reconnaissance missions all transmit information back through the forum. In addition to a certain degree of immediacy, the biggest benefit of this is convenience. Moreover, the confidentiality requirements of the information are not particularly high, which is something the devil needs to worry about.
matter.
In fact, after the seven airships on the reconnaissance mission set off, the subsequent special airship rescue teams also set off one after another. The passage they took had been confirmed by the first seven airships. At the exit, there was no garrison on the devil's side.
Guard position.
Without a garrison, there is no risk of exposure. This is conducive to the mass accumulation of airships.
Besides, as long as the supplies are sufficient, the airship itself has the ability to fly for dozens of consecutive days. In other words, the airships participating in the subsequent rescue mission can pass through the cursed Wind Emperor Mountain Range early and assemble in the air on the north side of the mountain.
After waiting for the confirmation of the rescue target, you can set out to rescue the trapped humans as soon as possible. This reduces variables caused by time delays or rush.
Because the airship unit conducts independent operations, the rear base camp does not directly command, but leaves it to the frontline commander to decide everything. The only requirement is to rescue people, and then decide whether to bypass the Fengdi Mountains and take a safe route back depending on the situation.
to the rear.
In fact, such instructions also imply that there will only be one rescue operation. Otherwise, the shortest path should be taken, that is, through the Fengdi Mountains. Evacuate the first group of people to the rear in the shortest time, and then carry out the second wave.
Rescue operations.
But if the first wave of rescue is successful, will the Demon Alliance really let the human airship team go to rescue those trapped? Or will they eliminate the hidden dangers in one fell swoop?
Many people have thought about this inference, but no one dares to say it. After all, in winter, marching and fighting under heavy snow and road closures are just very difficult, not impossible.
The candidate for the frontline commander of the rescue mission must be selected from among the officers of the Haider Empire. And this person is directly the full commander of the airship force of the Haider Empire this time, a veteran of the empire.
His understanding of how to use the airship legion far exceeds that of any general on the defense line of the Wind Emperor Mountain Range. Besides, no one other than him can command the airship legion sent by the Haider Empire to support him.
In the rear, Old Kawei Gong's orders only had his nod, and the airship troops of the Haider Empire would take action. Therefore, instead of appointing another commander on the front line and causing many doubts, it was better to appoint this one directly.
The veteran general who accepted the appointment did not assemble all the airship rescue forces that had smuggled across the Wind Emperor Mountains in one location. Instead, they organized them into four teams, took four relatively easy passages, and assembled in four locations respectively.
These four locations are also where the seven airships sent out for reconnaissance will rendezvous on their return journey.
Although they considered whether it was possible for the devil to follow the evacuation routes of these seven airships and find the assembled large forces, it was determined that the seven airships conducting reconnaissance missions had avoided combat and prioritized reconnaissance, representing them.
The combat power is still intact.
Even if they are unable to land, they can help accommodate ground personnel who want to be evacuated, and they can also provide escort in the air. You must know that these seven airships will be sent out because they are all excellent talents and have superb ship maneuvering skills.
To waste such combat power, not to mention whether a commander would allow it, I am afraid that the captains of the seven airships and their crew members would not be willing to do so. The soldiers' desire to fight may be the most gratifying to the upper echelons of the human coalition.
It is also the most distressing emotion.
However, the veteran did not force the first seven airships on what to do, but gave them a time limit. As long as they meet the main force before the time limit, they will be organized into the rescue team.
The reason for this arrangement was to fear that there would be an unexpected accident or that the airship would be tracked by the devil.
It takes time to deal with unexpected emergencies, and it also takes some time to get rid of the pursuers. If there is a real possibility of endangering the large force, these seven captains should also know that they should not come to rendezvous, but lure the pursuers in other directions.
.The old general thought so.
In fact, the various actions of these high-level officials are not a kind of inspection. They want to see if these civilian talents who have performed very well in battle are worth attracting or even absorbing.
Such behavior is already a small tacit understanding that needs no explanation for those powerful people, and it is something they do all the time.
Even if a certain talent already belongs to someone, others can offer a higher status to win over the other person. This level of inducement does no harm no matter whether it succeeds or not in the end.
Ezio, who is the subject of investigation, does not have this awareness.
The fraternity members who came from elementary schools all still owe the magician ten years of debt. Even the first group of people to leave the school have not paid back even half of it. Whoever wants to win over should go to the magician first.
negotiation.
Having said that, there are actually some people who have paid off their debts in advance and gained freedom from the magician. Whether they paid it back by themselves or with the help of their new boss.
But Ezio just used these as excuses. He never thought about becoming the subordinate or son-in-law of any noble lord. If he really wanted to, the Grand Duke of Kavi family would have offered him an olive branch a long time ago. However,
He didn't agree either.
At the moment, he is focusing all his energy on the reconnaissance mission. The Twin Griffins have many advantages, but he is not so proud that he thinks that the airship they operate is truly invincible.
Devils are not a race that people can easily rest assured. If they are careless and the ship capsizes, they will have to pay for the entire airship, including their own lives. This makes people laugh.
Therefore, even if the entire reconnaissance mission was completed from the beginning to the area they were responsible for, everything went smoothly. It did not even attract the attention of demons or orcs, or even cause a counterattack. Everyone on the Twin Griffins still carried a
My heart dare not relax for a moment.
Ezio plays the role of tightening everyone's nerves, constantly changing the direction that needs attention and asking relevant people to report back. He is a bit nagging, but in the tense mood, he has a calm enough voice to guide everyone, which is unexpectedly reassuring.
.
The most relaxed ones are the Marines who are on standby in the belly cargo bay at the rear. They have no mission on the airship, they just need to secure their bodies firmly to avoid being thrown away by sudden tactical movements and injuring themselves.
.
Minimize contact with the ground as much as possible. This is the tone set before departure. Since there is no guarantee that someone will be rescued, don't give too much hope. This is not only torture for others, but also torture for yourself.
Therefore, the members of the Marine Corps suppressed their tempers and recuperated their strength. None of them were newbies on the battlefield. Most of them still followed Ezio. Those who survived the evacuation had early character.
They are so tempered that they don't look like young people of their age.
However, just as they were on their way back to the meeting place after completing their mission, a small incident happened.
Although it was the time of the new moon, the snow-white world still reflected the faint starlight, making this moonless night appear extremely bright.
But even without the help of this weak light, under the magical effect of the Arcane Eye, everything that happens on the ground is still under the control of the Twin Griffins.
The people on the airship did not relax their vigilance and responsibilities just because the mission was over. The two people at the radar table were still monitoring the situation on the ground, for fear of making any mistakes before. It was in this atmosphere that the two people
Anomalies on the ground were discovered.
One of them said: "General, there seems to be a chase on the ground."
In fact, as people from the same elementary school and fraternity, the title between the two and Ezio would be closer. However, in the military, in order to prevent people from different backgrounds from feeling distant, Ezio still let Ezio
Everyone should be addressed by military rank in formal occasions. That's why we came up with this reminder.
Ezio directly ordered: "Go to the map table."
The ground situation that was noticed was quickly displayed on the map table. Since the distance was still very far, the biological reaction was only replaced by light points, so not much information could be seen.
However, it can also be observed that the light spots traveling on the ground are divided into two batches: the former is less and the latter is more. It does look like a chase.
It is not difficult to confirm the situation, Ezio instructed: "Convert the real-life scene to night low-light mode, and zoom in to confirm."
It is not easy to change the Twin Griffin's Arcane Eye observation mode, and it will also affect many systems. It has not yet been integrated into an airship operated by fools, so switching between modes is always somewhat inconvenient.
So this change needs to be ordered by someone.
Now that someone can take charge, the two people operating the radar table immediately switched the magic effect of the Arcane Eye without saying a word. The display on the map table became the real scene on the ground, and the weak light was converted
Finally, the brightness suddenly increased several times, at least people can distinguish the objects on the ground clearly.
The people chasing and being chased were all wrapped in thick winter clothes, and it was impossible to tell who they were. But it was obvious that the people chasing behind were all armed with weapons, and they were shooting forward without any arrows.
.
Such sparse arrow attacks don't seem to hurt people, but rather to remind those in front that there are pursuers behind, so please try your best to escape. However, compared to the playful mentality, the pursuers behind feel a little bit out of their depth.
.
I don't know how long they have been chasing. Maybe they have almost used their throwing weapons, so they stopped shooting arrows.
However, the outcome of this chase battle can probably be predicted by the onlookers. That is, the people in front will be caught up because their speed is not as fast as the pursuers behind. As long as they don't explode or deliberately set a trap, they will fall into
The latter is almost inevitable.
Based on the principle that the enemy of the enemy is the friend, Ezio quickly made a decision. He asked the captain who was also standing by the map table: "Baron, how long will it take to go down and pick up someone?"
After looking at the altitude display and speed, the captain of the Twin Griffin from the Kawei family gave the answer: "Well, ten minutes."
"Then I'll leave it to you to take command." Ezio quickly ordered, and at the same time said to other operators: "Transmit the ground situation to the rear cabin, and then open the rear cabin door."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ezio prepared to leave the command room. At the same time, he did not forget to give the last order. "Marines, prepare to attack."
