Magic Tower Starry Sky

Chapter 1539: task in progress

Not all of the seven airships performing the reconnaissance mission went as smoothly as the Twin Griffin. The first hurdle they have to pass is to pass through the 'window' where the wind and snow are relatively calm from above the cursed Fengdi Mountain Range.

Don't think that such a passage is a straight line, just drive the airship directly. This kind of window, where the wind force and direction are relatively calm, is actually curved.

In particular, there is no clear boundary line in the air, which side is easy to fly and which side is not easy to fly. How to accurately fly in this window, in addition to the ability of the helmsman, the observation of the lookout, the judgment of the captain, and even the entire airship have their responsibilities.

It's just that even if they strayed into those restricted areas, the airship wouldn't immediately fall down. The boat crash is a possible ending, but it is not the only one, let alone the most likely one.

After all, airships are not comparable to ordinary birds or flying monsters. In the cursed snowstorm, the operation will be more difficult, and the use of power will also be hindered. But as long as the luck is not too bad, getting out safely is not a big problem.

However, I can't guarantee whether the position I left is the place I want. In the harsh environment, it is a blessing to be able to escape, and there are so many choices.

Those who can be selected by the old Duke Kavi to carry out this task are not mediocre. Accurately flying in the window channel, crossing the sky over the Fengdi Mountains, and coming to the north side of the mountain, this kind of ability is still there, but everyone's speed is different.

The difference in speed does not all depend on the level of ship handling skills. Different routes and passages have been chosen, and there are also differences in difficulty and length. But everyone still came to the north of the mountain at dawn.

In fact, what worries the high-level planners of the entire rescue operation is whether the airships of the follow-up rescue team have the same level of maneuverability and can pass through the cursed Fengdi Mountains. A little further away is the action of the airship to cooperate with the counterattack.

In the past, the safest option for traditional airships to travel from the south of the mountain to the north of the mountain was to take a detour. Few boat owners choose to venture across the mountains unless absolutely necessary.

The airship unit of the Haider Empire, even if it has the worst ship handling skills, can be rated as excellent among all airships. This dance-like operation is not a big problem.

Those who worry the old man are those airship teams from the private sector. Most of them formed an army hastily, or there were some minor problems in the structure of the airship itself.

These defects are used under normal conditions, and probably there will be no major problems. But if it is placed in extreme conditions, such as extremely bad weather, or dogfights in the air, and continuous tactical operations, small problems may magnify into catastrophes.

Therefore, for the formation of the follow-up rescue team, the old man still adopts a voluntary system. Let all airship captains evaluate by themselves whether they can participate in tasks of this special intensity.

Even without crossing the mountain and staying on the south side of the mountain, the airship still has a mission to perform.

The terrain on the north side of the Fengdi Mountains is dominated by hilly land with occasional basins. Several rivers originate from the Fengdi Mountains and flow through a large area from south to north, nourishing countless lives.

And at the end of this deep winter, especially in a climate window period, there is no scene of wind and snow. There is even a rare winter sun rising from the east, and the sky is even clearer.

You must know that one day before, the scene on the south side of the mountain was thick clouds covering the entire sky. The strong wind and heavy snow can bring a biting chill to people just by looking at it with the eyes. You don't need to go outside, you can experience it only when you are blown by the wind and snow.

After this day, the weather on the north side of the mountain, although the thick snow on the ground has not yet melted, there is almost no wind and snow, and the visibility is even clearer. It can be said to be the best scouting weather, but it also means that the airship is easy to be noticed.

Not all airships can fly to the heights of the stratosphere like the Twin Griffin. At that height, the eyesight on the ground is almost invisible.

But taking the seven airships on the reconnaissance mission as an example, they fly at the lowest threshold required by the mission, and when seen by people on the ground, they probably won't be much bigger than ants and bugs. Most people don't even realize that this is an enemy flying in the sky.

Logically speaking, staying at such a high altitude and observing the ground with arcane eyes is the safest way to investigate.

But the operators of the first seven airships were all capable; in other words, none of them were good babies. The old man also only wants information, and doesn't care about the method of obtaining it, or even their life or death.

It is said that the selection of the personnel to carry out the task is to choose the person who has the ability to complete the task and has the highest survival rate. If these people commit suicide by themselves, who can control them? It's not these people's parents. Conditions and restrictions are raised everywhere, and these people may not be able to listen.

Therefore, the captains of each airship chose the most suitable detection method for their own characteristics to complete this mission.

Taking a step back, in terms of the function of using the Eye of Arcane, let alone being on par with a certain magician, even the version of the Twin Griffin can't keep up. So in many cases, we can only use human eyes to make judgments.

And the original arcane eye is like a clairvoyance, when it focuses on a certain place, it can only see the scene of that place. In the past, it was projected in the crystal ball, but it was converted into a flat screen on the airship. There is no scanning capability, and certainly no programmatic batch processing.

Based on this crude function, in order to obtain enough information, their detection methods are limited. The risk of detection increases accordingly.

One of the easiest ways is to fly close to the ground. Then send enough lookouts to watch the ground with the naked eye from the airship.

This bold action will of course attract the attention of the ground. There are lookouts watching the sky, though not all camps. But as long as one or two people look up inadvertently, they have a chance to spot the airship in the sky.

Fortunately, the coalition forces of demons and orcs do not have air supremacy. Even if there are demons who are good at flying, they may not be able to act in such a cold winter, or fight against air fortresses like airships.

In particular, the reconnaissance missions are all airships that are known for their speed. If any demon, or a half-orc who can control a flying monster takes off from the ground, the airship can speed up and escape at any time. The speed of the new airship is no joke.

So even if everyone's actions are indeed discovered, but no airship has yet engaged in battle with the demon and half-orc coalition forces, everyone still prioritizes the investigation mission.

For a while, the demon coalition forces hadn't realized what the movement of the airship represented. Coupled with the impact of the cold winter, most of the demons or half-orcs still muddled through and let these little bugs fly high in the sky. At most, scare the opponent and expel him.

It means that even if they want to care about it, they have no good way to deal with the airship flying at that altitude.

This is not an alliance between the two parties pretending to maintain peace, and they can still send diplomatic condemnation to each other. Both sides in the war, of course, can do whatever harm they can. If you can't handle it, you can only swallow it bitterly, and find other ways to return it.

Therefore, the danger encountered in the investigation mission this time is far less than what everyone imagined before setting off. Information gathering was also smooth.

It's just that the humans trapped in the demon-occupied area are still alive, but the situation is worse than expected. Because some people are not just surrounded.

For those who are still alive, the worst situation is to be imprisoned in a similar prisoner-of-war camp. To put it bluntly, it is like being in a ranch, being raised by demons and half-orcs.

What is the purpose of this, the people who discovered this situation cannot imagine at all. But everyone agrees that such a situation is difficult to implement rescue.

The original rescue plan conceived of fast in and fast out, with no thought of engaging the enemy. So for the humans who are surrounded, the most ideal situation is that their defense lines are still maintained. As long as this line of defense can delay time, the airship force will have a chance to evacuate the surrounded humans.

But if the human beings have been controlled, it is impossible to withdraw the human beings without defeating the demon or orc guards.

To say that it is worse than this is the human beings who have been scattered into the half-orc barracks. Such people are likely to die in it before the rescue plan is implemented or drawn up.

These poor examples were discovered by accident when the airship used the arcane eye to scan the ground barracks from a distance. Whether there will be more of the same victims, the people who carry out the investigation mission don't want to think about it. They know very well that such a person is definitely the last one in the rescue order.

As for those human gathering places that are surrounded and have not yet been attacked by the demon coalition forces, the most likely and easiest to rescue are those areas that can still rely on the magic tower.

In addition to the protection of the common people, there are also organized soldiers to cooperate with the magic tower to establish a solid line of defense. But these sites also look critical, because they don't have much food reserves and have had a very difficult winter. If there is no supply, maybe it will be over without waiting until the beginning of spring.

As for other large human gathering places, the coalition forces of demons and half-orcs just besieged but did not attack. These places usually have geographical advantages, such as canyons, hills and the like.

The demon coalition forces that were in an offensive state before were not in a hurry to divide their forces and pull out these strongholds, so they sent some troops to block them. And their situation also became very difficult after a winter.

All in all, the problem of food shortage is the biggest reason why these gathering places can be preserved with painstaking efforts, but as time goes on, the hope will become more and more elusive.

Being able to survive more than half of this winter is not only due to their super long play, but also the inadvertent mercy of the demon coalition forces. Perhaps this was not the original intention of those evil creatures, but the demons chose to attack the south first instead of sweeping the entire northern side of the mountains, which is indeed the reason why these human gathering points can exist.

On the one hand, it is also because these locations are not in the rush of the incoming traffic, so there is a chance to save them. Especially those remaining magic towers.

In fact, after seeing the current situation, the people conducting the investigation mission will feel that as long as it is a place that can still hold on, it is suitable to be preserved and become a nail for the human side on the north side of the Fengdi Mountain Range. Of course, civilians and the elderly still have to evacuate.

But how to operate it depends on the arrangement of those big shots. And in order to keep the nails on the north side of the mountain, there must be regular supplies.

Even if the passage of the airship is still smooth now, it is still an unsolvable question whether it can always maintain the air superiority.

In short, whether to withdraw or not to withdraw is a problem.
