Ezio's idea is not complicated, that is, he can save as many as he can before the time limit. Anyway, the biggest advantage of the Twin Griffins is its fast speed.
As long as the distance to the rendezvous point is calculated, it is not a big problem to return within the time limit. As for the tolerance of the veteran general of the Haider Empire, don't think that the human camp's coalition has such a loose structure and it is difficult to implement orders.
It's because the sentinels sent forward have a certain degree of freedom. Except for major targets, they can adjust the content of their actions according to the situation.
If such a person is allowed to act strictly according to a certain plan without giving any space, it may turn into a disaster.
Because we are on the front line, anything can happen. And there may not always be a response plan for these things, so frontline commanders are needed.
'When generals are outside, the emperor's orders will not be accepted.' This sentence actually applies not only to military power and the struggle for imperial power.
When Ezio conveyed his thoughts to everyone, the entire Twin Griffin began to move.
However, because it was night, Ezio did not intend to maintain the same alert status as during the day. Taking into account everyone's rest requirements and the combat power of the airship, two or three shifts were arranged depending on the position.
Thanks to the fact that it is winter and today is a moonless night, the activity of all living things has been reduced to a minimum.
The airship relies on the advantage of the arcane eye, and its ability to fight at night is not much different than during the day, so Ezio dares to use rotating combat power to operate at night.
If everyone really has to grit their teeth and persevere, if the chain fails at the critical moment, it will be more terrifying than a lack of combat power.
Next, the Marines who have the heaviest and busiest tasks among all the crew members will be the Marines who have been doing nothing all day long.
To save people, it is necessary to come into contact with the ground. How to win people's trust, how to persuade the other party, and how to command a group of laymen to cooperate with each other all test the wisdom of the members of the landing team.
This time, Ezio was confused about whether to land on the ground. He did not interfere in the formation and task assignment of the Marines.
This is because there are many and detailed matters, and it is the best choice for the Marines to arrange them themselves, rather than him, the commander, having to worry about them directly.
If he stays in the air, he can get a better overview of the overall situation through the perspective of the arcane eye. Unfortunately, the disadvantage of this approach is that the connection with the ground is inconvenient, and he cannot get first-hand information and make judgments. He can only rely on flashes or pyrotechnic signals.
Send a message.
It would be easier to just ask the people on the ground to die while keeping one eye on the forum and waiting for updates while taking action.
Being distracted on the battlefield is more fatal than anything else. If you go to the ground to take command in person, although it will help deal with various emergencies that the people below have no right to decide, you can imagine how long the night will become.
Lamenting his hard life and complaining about the lazy magician, Ezio returned to the back cabin without looking back.
The flight route arrangements are the responsibility of the people in the control room. As long as they are arranged in advance, there won't be many temporary decisions.
At most, they would order a retreat before the deadline so that they could return to the rendezvous point in time to assist in the official rescue mission.
Neither Ezio nor anyone else thought about giving up on that big mission. In comparison, the Marines' ground operations had too many variables.
If you don't keep a close eye on it, and don't waste time, you may drag the entire airship into danger.
So Ezio never thought about handing over the power of decision-making to other people. Sometimes such an attitude does not necessarily mean fighting for power with those below, but just taking the responsibility on himself.
At least when facing someone who is pestering him blindly, instead of arguing with him about whether to leave or not, Ezio has the courage and obligation to directly give the order to leave.
Whether it is to kidnap the other party away, or to leave the other party alone. If this decision is placed on other people, they may not dare to make it.
At this time, if there is a boss who is brave enough to take the blame, the people below will be much more relaxed. But there is no need to talk so much to the Marines.
What everyone was discussing was still the content of specific actions. In fact, at the time they were discussing, the Twin Griffins had arrived at the first place where a small number of humans were suspected of gathering.
The people in the command room naturally have a process for determining the target. After the target is determined to be a human, the airship begins to descend.
At this time, the Twin Griffin's shortcoming appeared - vertical takeoff and landing. Traditional airships mostly rely on magic to adjust their height, and the process is not fast.
But vertical takeoff and landing is a standard action and is not new. The new airship has an external propeller, and its horizontal flight, climb and descent speeds are different from those in the past.
But when it comes to vertical landing, it has been brought back to its original shape, and is on the same level as a traditional airship. So the so-called shortcomings here, and the slowness that everyone feels are all based on comparing the performance of the Twin Griffins in other aspects.
Feel.
It’s not like the great time travel designer never thought of allowing the angle of the external propeller to be adjusted.
However, the more mechanisms there are, the more fragile the structure becomes. After several times of violent acceleration, the propeller flew out on its own, and the idea of solving this defect was given up.
So now if the Twin Griffin wants to land at a fixed point, it will either do it slowly or descend in a spiral trajectory.
No matter what choice was made, this action would take a lot of time. During this process, the Marine detachment scheduled to be the first to launch did not wait obediently on the airship.
They followed Ezio and jumped out directly from the opened rear hatch. They used the flying knight landing technique to reach the ground first.
There was no way for the Sky Knight to land silently. No matter how hard he tried to cover it up, the moment he landed there was still a loud roar that echoed in the chests of those around him.
As expected, the people hiding nearby were awakened. It means that no one can sleep peacefully in such a cold and hungry night.
In addition, there are demons and orcs out there hunting humans, and the slightest movement will wake up this group of frightened humans from their sleep.
The group of people who jumped up were all looking for the source of the abnormality and where it was, so that they could decide the direction of escape.
Don't think that the place they are hiding in is quite remote, and they may not encounter a demon or orc once in a few dozen days.
However, monsters or wild beasts moving in nature will still threaten their lives. In the past, they had fortifications such as houses and fences to protect themselves.
You may not be able to protect yourself against some powerful monsters, but it is enough to deal with most monsters and beasts.
Nowadays, they are hiding in a place with no shelter. Even if a few people are not bitten away and some of their food reserves are destroyed, it will be distressing enough.
Therefore, it was very important to see clearly what was trying to scare them. It was not difficult for Ezio to understand the nervousness of this group of people, so he took the lead in revealing his identity.
He held a magic prop similar to an oil lamp, which emitted soft white light and illuminated his appearance clearly.
Ezio said: "We are the airship rescue force of the Hyder Empire. Please bring your valuables and come out. Time is running out." Ezio did not lower his voice because he was very sure that there were no people around.
Only the enemy dares to act like this.
And the reason why the name Heidel Empire is used is because the Airship Corps is the most famous among them, and everyone knows it.
If we talk about the airship troops of the Gwana Empire, those who are hiding will probably immediately think about how the Gwana Empire has any airship troops, and thus doubt the purpose of the people coming.
Anyway, the Haider Empire did participate in the war, and what came was their ace, half of the airship army.
And they were indeed subordinate to him in this mission. So Ezio did not hesitate to use such power.
Perhaps the name of the empire is really useful, and under the light source, a human appears.
The other Marines who accompanied Ezio to the ground early, wearing light armor, could clearly see their human characteristics.
In short, it's not a demon or an orc, and its credibility is slowly rising. After struggling for a while, someone finally came out of the hiding place.
In fact, after confirming that there were people on the ground, Ezio and others paid special attention to the surrounding terrain as soon as they landed.
Although the snow has hidden most of the traces, the traces frequently visited by humans are still slightly different from other places.
Therefore, it is not difficult for Ezio and others to find out where the target is hiding. If they just pull the person out directly, even if they don't scare them, their trust level will be reduced.
That's why he didn't act rashly. Like the leader of this group of refugees, an old man with a stooped figure and a somewhat embarrassed appearance stood up, bowed and said: "Sir, you said that you are a pilot of the Haider Empire."
People from the Airship Corps, is this true?" The time was just right, and before Ezio could reply, the Twin Griffins appeared above everyone, carrying heavy wind pressure.
The indicator lights that were originally turned off on the airship were all turned on after lowering to a certain height. At the same time, the searchlights directed toward the ground were also turned on.
Echoing the light source of the lamp-shaped magic prop in Ezio's hand, it feels like a heroic debut.
Seeing such a scene, even if there were doubts at first, everyone now believed it. Although they did not know that the airships of the Haider Empire should have legion emblems, nor did they recognize the emblems of the Kavi family of the Gwana Empire;
Creatures like airships are something that demons and orcs don't have.
If you can drive this thing, you will definitely not be an enemy. If you are not an enemy, then you are one of your own.
So under the shouts of the Marines, they hurriedly called the remaining people to come out of the hiding place, and brought with them a few children who were not counted originally.
In addition to clothing, metals, and valuables to keep out the cold, Ezio forced them to throw away their excess burdens.
Such as pots and pans, maybe these can be considered as belongings, but if you bring a flying vehicle that is very careful about its weight, believe it or not, if it encounters an overweight problem, Ezio will kick out everyone together.
In short, he has a dark face that makes people dare to be angry but dare not speak. Things progressed unexpectedly smoothly and quickly. When everyone boarded the airship from the rear hatch, there was naturally someone responsible for placing the group of people who had just escaped from birth.
of refugees.
Ezio and others set their sights on the next rescue location, praying secretly in their hearts, hoping that the next operation would be equally smooth.
