William walked on deck for a long time, but never returned.

With Dylan's urgency, how could he keep waiting, he immediately took a step and prepared to go to the deck.

Behind him, Oscar naturally followed, and he didn't want to stay in the middle of a crowd of people he didn't know.

As for the students of those academies, their expressions were different, some were hesitant, some were worried, some were afraid, some were uneasy, and more were confused.

After coming to the deck, Oscar couldn't help but shiver, he didn't expect it to be so cold on the deck.

You know, according to the time, it should be already afternoon at this time, even in winter, but when there is sunshine in the afternoon, the temperature should not be so low.

But at this time, the weather, which was still warm in winter a moment ago, is now shrouded in dense fog, and the visibility is less than ten meters away.

Oscar tried to wrap his fur tightly, but found that the clammy mist was pervasive, and he had no way to escape.

Dylan grimaced and walked in the direction where the helmsman was. At this time, several of the helmsmen on the airship had already arrived on deck, including Owen.

William asked the oldest helmsman, "In your experience, how long will it take for the fog to clear?"

The old helmsman habitually took a sip of wine and said, "It's hard to say, sometimes it only takes a few hours, but sometimes it takes three days." One of the worst fogs I've ever encountered was when it lasted for three days before it cleared. ”

"Three days?" When William heard this, he suddenly became a little anxious, he might be able to wait for three days, it doesn't matter, but those soldiers on the battlefield on the front line, that can't wait for three days!

You must know that these dozen airships, except for this one used to transport the students and students, the other dozen or so are loaded with war materials, which must be sent to the defender camp in the Warcraft Mountains in time, otherwise the materials can't keep up, how can this war continue?

"We can't wait here for three days, we have to arrive the day after tomorrow at the latest, or we'll all be court-martialed. William looked very anxious.

"We don't have to wait, and it's useless to wait, because the fog won't go away. Dylan began.

William saw that Dylan had actually gone on deck, and his face suddenly became stern: "Didn't I let you wait in the cabin? Why did you come up by yourself, go back quickly." ”

Dylan shook his head, walked straight to Owen's side, and said, "Brother Owen, this fog will not disperse. We used to pass through here, and the fog was already there. It's just that I didn't expect that the scope of this fog seems to expand again. Originally, it only took half a day to pass, but now there are still one or two days to go from the Demon Beast Mountain Range, but it is already so intense. ”

The oldest helmsman, looking at Owen, seemed to ask about the reliability of the information Dylan had provided.

Seeing that Owen nodded very firmly, the old helmsman had basically believed Dylan's statement.

"It's a bit troublesome now, the fog is too thick, the visible distance is no more than ten meters, and there are more than a dozen other airships around us, in the case that it is difficult to judge the direction, it is very likely that there will be a collision accident, after all, the airship is relatively slow to operate, not as agile as the carriage. "The old helmsman was obviously worried, too.

William's face was full of anxiety, this was the first time he had led the students of the academy into battle, and this opportunity to lead the team was also something he had won with great difficulty.

Although the responsibility for transporting war materials is mainly the responsibility of the airship helmsmen, as the airship, he is still afraid that he will be implicated because of the delay in the materials.

After all, no one could predict what kind of sentence the "First Iron Lady of the Empire" would make.

In fact, he was completely overwhelmed, and no matter what happened, this responsibility would not fall on his head. Besides, there is Dylan on top of this airship, and even if Angela really wants to use military law, she will weigh it carefully in her heart.

No one in the current Imperial army wants to provoke the sleeping lion in North Wind City, and they don't dare.

Just as everyone was thinking about countermeasures, Oscar, who had been trembling and trembling, said: "I, I have a solution, but I don't know if it will work." ”

Dylan was slightly startled, he originally thought that this guy would inevitably choose to remain silent and not get involved in this matter, but at this time he said that he had thought of a way? This had to make Dylan's senses for him change.

Dylan said curiously: "Tell me, let a few experienced helmsmen consult and see if your method can work." ”

Oscar swallowed his saliva and said with some trembling: "I used to go to sea with a few old fishermen, and I once encountered this kind of foggy weather, and the visibility was very low. ”

"In fact, to put it bluntly, our biggest difficulty today is that the airships and airships cannot know each other's exact positions, and the old fishermen at that time, in order to prevent the ships from colliding with each other, lit oil lamps around each boat, so that the helmsmen can more clearly perceive the approximate position of the surrounding airships. When sailing at a slow speed, you can keep a relatively safe distance from each other. The stronger the light, the safer it is. ”

"I don't know, will this work?" Oscar said, looking at the old helmsman expectantly.

The old helmsman's eyes clearly flashed with a hint of approval, and he gave Oscar a thumbs up and said, "Yes, this method is definitely worth trying." ”

Seeing that the old helmsman had already nodded, the other helmsmen naturally had no opinion, and William could only choose to acquiesce.

In order to maintain a certain formation and control the speed of travel, the distance between the airships and the airships is generally not too far, and more than a dozen airships take this one to escort the students as the leading airship.

However, the wind was strong in the air, so it was impossible to communicate by shouting, so they usually used a blunt-horned crossbow arrow to pierce the paper with the message on the arrow feathers, and then shoot it to the deck of a nearby airship to communicate and exchange in a timely manner.

Soon, around more than a dozen airships, oil lamps were lit up, reflecting the outline of the airship's hull. In this way, they can see each other more clearly about their surroundings.

Seeing that this problem was finally solved, the old helmsman did not forget to praise Oscar again.

Although this method was not created by Oscar himself, it did a great favor to the helmsmen in this extremely urgent situation, at least they did not have to wait for the fog to dissipate, thus delaying the delivery of war materials, and thus exempting them from military punishment.

Even if the speed of travel slows down in the fog, it is better than sitting still.
