"Helicopters cannot reach all places, and many remote villages do not have suitable take-off and landing areas!" In the headquarters of the 6th Army Group, Bourjos's chief of staff was reporting the situation in the disaster area to Commander-in-Chief Bourjos.
This headquarters is located in a well-preserved castle on the outskirts of Shakeburn. It is spacious and bright, and the furniture has been rearranged. The windows of the castle have been replaced. The bright glass windows isolate the coolness outside and let in the warm breeze.
The sunshine made the entire conference room feel comfortable.
It's really not extravagant. If even the general headquarters of a large army with more than 200,000 troops is very shabby, it means that the war situation has gone downhill - obviously, the Eilanhir Empire is still far away from going downhill.
long distance...
The 6th Army Group is working hard to save the civilians within its jurisdiction. The situation they are facing now is even more severe than the expeditionary force that is fighting the demons in the demon world.
Because of the shortage of troops, the Chief of General Staff of the 6th Army Group said worriedly: "The vertical airborne paratroopers assigned to us by the headquarters are still too few, even though we have dispatched two divisions and more than 20,000 army aviation mobile troops.
The troops are still stretched thin."
Bourgeois remained silent. In fact, his life in the past year or so has not been satisfactory.
Like Kolya who was also in the Southeast Front, he had not fought a real battle for more than a year. As a military commander, this is definitely a great irony.
The Airanhir Empire is still at war, and the Demon Realm Expeditionary Force is still fighting fiercely against the demons. However, he is sitting in the south and can only do some work every day, such as helping the local area build roads.
If he was given a choice, he would rather replace Heidicannon and command an armored corps than waste time and life here.
I don’t know that Bourjos is thinking about messy things here, but his chief of staff is still introducing the rescue work in the disaster area: "There are too many places that need to be saved, and our intelligence in the southern region is relatively backward, which makes
The number of rescue efforts increased several times, which dispersed our efforts."
"The map we got was produced ten years ago, and the accuracy of the drawing can be imagined. We compared it with satellite images, and the problem was very serious." On the other side of the conference table, there is a man who is two years younger than Bourjos.
The commander of the 6th Armored Corps complained.
He has never encountered such a frustrating combat mission. His troops often spend a whole day looking for a non-existent village on the map, wasting countless gasoline and making the soldiers very tired.
Rotting corpses could be seen on the roadside from time to time, including those of demons, humans, and other creatures. There were towns with people and villages with no people everywhere, which made him very embarrassed.
Just listen to him continue: "We can no longer count villages that are too small, and the temporarily drawn satellite maps are not very accurate and require manual correction. This is a waste of our military strength."
There are some rumors circulating everywhere. Some local civilians claim to have seen the eggs of devil dogs in certain places, and some villagers suspect that they were eaten by giant snakes or other magical beasts that escaped from the battlefield.
Anyway, there is a mess everywhere, troops must always be vigilant when operating in the field, and the vast majority of danger reports are actually wrong.
The reports of local people who claimed to have seen demon dogs were soon confirmed to be that they encountered just ordinary beasts, and even mutated monsters were very dangerous.
After all, the entire southern region has been repeatedly cleared by the combat troops of Eiland Hill, and the demons do not have an extensive guerrilla base in the human world, so it is unlikely that they can hide and threaten the security of nearby areas for a long time.
"In addition, some villages have long been abandoned due to the invasion of demons, and the buildings were deserted. When we arrived, we found that there was no one there." This young military commander is also a man who has experienced hundreds of battles, but this kind of mission is not suitable for people.
It's very suitable for a commander like him.
After he finished saying this, he continued: "There are still villages that were already dead when we went there... everyone died. We wasted oil, wasted supplies, and wasted the soldiers' time, but
Not a single person was saved!”
"There are too few Osprey helicopters, and our UH-1 helicopters have a limited load capacity. UH-60 helicopters are very good, but unfortunately there are not many of them..." The reinforced Army Aviation Commander looked a lot more mature, even a little
Bald.
It's just that this commander is only in his forties. Because he was an aviation pilot before, he took too much pure oxygen, so he is bald and looks a bit old.
"What the above means is...let the Dragon Knights try..." After talking about the difficulties of the helicopter unit, he gave a solution that sounded a bit bizarre.
"Dragon Knight?" After hearing this statement, Bourjos was stunned for a moment. He knew that the trust of the magician troops has been greatly reduced due to assassination incidents and other reasons. It is really a bit difficult to dispatch the magician troops at this time.
It means a lot.
"Well, those guys who have been almost forgotten! The Dragon Knight Force has always been responsible for regional security. Now in large and prosperous cities, even the mounted police have been eliminated... So, maybe this is the only time left to reflect the
The role of the Dragon Knight!" The commander of Army Aviation gave his opinion purely based on rationality.
"Hiss...this is really a solution!" After thinking about it, Bourjos understood what Chris meant.
After all, he was also a veteran general who had followed Chris in the early years, and of course he also knew Chris's temperament: His Majesty the Emperor sometimes did not make so many twists and turns, and could be said to be a model of straightforward character.
It's hard to say, but this time the mobilization of the Dragon Knight troops was really considered from a practical point of view, and there was no deeper political intention - since helicopters can't do it, dragons have become a good option, at least this
Huge reptiles, no need to worry about risks such as crashing.
If you want to understand the key to this, the rest of the things will be easy to understand. As a minister, you can just do what His Majesty the Emperor wants, and you don't have to think about so many twists and turns.
"Dragon knights and magicians are not restricted by the location. They can easily land in the woods or rugged mountains without worrying about any accidents." The Army Aviation Commander continued.
"The only drawback may be the load issue..." Bourjos nodded and agreed in principle to the plan.
"That's not a problem. Use Osprey or UH-60 helicopters to transport the supplies to the selected assembly point, and then these dragon knights will transfer them to various villages... Bringing less at a time and flying more times will solve the problem?
"The commander of Army Aviation has rich experience in this area and directly gave a solution.
With the empire's powerful engineers, it is certainly not difficult to build a few frontline airports. In the southern region, the field airports that have been built and the first-class roads that can be temporarily requisitioned are almost enough.
"It makes sense! It seems that the Imperial Dragon Knights were not just there to join in the fun!" The chief of staff also thought this was a good idea and praised it.
Bourjos asked: "Where are they?"
"By this time, we should have already arrived over the epidemic area, right?" After calculating the time, the commander of Army Aviation answered uncertainly.
…
"Hoo!" On a huge floating transport ship near the clouds, a dragon spread its huge wings. It was like a carrier-based aircraft, jumping up on its own mothership.
, and then swooped into the white clouds at his feet.
Then, another sub-dragon spread its wings, stretched out its long neck, looked up to the sky and roared, then kicked off its feet and rushed into the clouds.
The dragon knight, who was pedaling and not wearing armor, was wearing a black short shirt and a well-fitting leather armor. He looked extremely heroic. You must know that this unit was attacked by the Air Force and Air Defense Force of the Airanhill Empire.
After the heavy blow, no one cared about it for a while.
Only during the celebrations of the Elanshir Empire can you see the organic dragon knight troops. Generally, they are similar to the float team, and they mostly perform during the parade.
This is like a cultural tradition. Banning them will make magicians uncomfortable, but after retaining them, they are almost useless on the battlefield.
Therefore, in addition to the special mounted police in some tourist cities that retain some dragon knights, the entire Ireland Empire only retains one dragon knight regiment as a reserve force, with its headquarters in the Veronsa District and a strength of 3,000 people.
If it weren't for this plague, even Chris would have almost forgotten that among his tens of millions of troops, there was such a troop whose presence was infinitely close to zero.
Now, this unit has been transferred to the southern region and has finally found its place in this plague disaster.
When the first giant dragon flapped its huge wings, hovered in the sky, slowly dropped in height, then broke through the low bushes, trampled a short fence, and landed in a village, the locals were the first to
This is the first time I saw this magical creature on a noble mural.
This scaly fire dragon only appears in local myths and legends. If it hadn't been for the invasion of demons before, people here might have been frightened to pieces by the dragon's roar.
Fortunately, the people here are already elites who have escaped from the devil's mouth, and they are suffering from the plague, so they are not even surprised. They just watch in a daze, watching this giant dragon stop in front of them.
.
The fangs, which were almost as long as daggers, and the unpleasant smell in the giant beast's breath made the locals realize that the creature only a few meters away from them was definitely not a kind creature.
"Devil, Master Magician... We really don't have anything valuable here. If you are here to find food, we have some dry bread..." An old man who looked like a village chief came together tremblingly.
He came forward and spoke to the knight who turned over and jumped off the dragon.
