Chapter 83: Aerial Reconnaissance

A cold wind whistled across Claudia's face like a knife. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Even though the middle of the 'comfort cloak' on his back is tightly tied to his waist with a silk rope, the back hem is still 'hula' under this high-speed air current. And the real master who holds the reins in both hands always subconsciously looks at the ring on his left hand at this time.

While the Bronze Wyvern is notoriously smooth among flying mounts, the player's special seat holds Claudia firmly attached to the dragon's back. But Claudia, who took off for the first time, was not at ease at all, so the 'Four Winds Ring', which was already of little use at this level, became the last insurance in the hearts of true masters - if she really accidentally fell from a high altitude, the 'Feather Falling Technique' that could be stimulated by this ring could also ensure her safety.

Although Claudia was only riding this empty ride for the first time, she was very inexperienced in both riding skills and experience. However, the Bronze Wyvern has the same level of intelligence as the Bipedal Wyvern - although it is only comparable to the young White Dragon, it is not yet fully intelligent. But even Forrest Gump can understand human speech, so the difficulty of controlling and the execution of orders are actually much better than horses. This is one of the important reasons why Barrett is relieved to let Claudia come to investigate.

'Damn it! Next time, I must change someone, so that the old lady doesn't want to suffer like this again! Claudia's lips were tightly closed, and she continued to growl in her heart—even with a special mask and goggles, the high wind still made her dare not let go. At the same time, she also knew in her heart that Barrett definitely deliberately wanted her to suffer such a time. Claudia even suspected that the tall captain had had had such intentions since she offered to exchange it for a bronze wyvern.

The Wyvern flies much faster than the player itself. And without the terrain and obstacles on the ground, Claudia was able to get to Tallinn in less than half the time it took the players to get to Tallinn from the moment she got on the Wyvern.

At the same time, the scene in Claudia's vision changed from a snowfield to a forest and back to a snowfield—the only change was that a not-so-small patch of dull color appeared in the snowfield. Spotting her target, Claudia tugged at the reins, and the clever wyvern flapped its wings and began to circle and begin to lower its altitude.

Although Tallinnburg suffered two defeats in a row, it seems that the lesson did not fully arouse their sense of crisis. All right! The aristocratic officers still sensed that something was wrong, but the loose system could not fully implement their will. So much so that the soldiers standing guard at the head of the city, although they were still patrolling, their listless appearance was definitely not attentive.

So even if there was a black dot in the air, they barely looked up, and they didn't notice Claudia in the sky from beginning to end. After experiencing the initial discomfort, Claudia began to observe the gliding of the dragon for a full hour, and then set out on the way home on the horse.

When the wyvern flapped its wings and landed outside the woods, Claudia began to scramble to unfasten the leather straps on her body, which were fastened to the special seat so that the wyvern would not accidentally fall off while the wyvern was maneuvering in the air.

Claudia, who had successfully jumped off the dragon, slapped her mount, and the creature, which had been much larger than Claudia, was transformed into a delicate bronze statue in her hand. Putting the strange object in her bag, she began to walk towards the camp in the forest.

As a permitted user, Claudia managed to push open the well-concealed door. Barrett, who saw the visitor, immediately asked, "Has there been any change in our goals?" ”

"Barrett, you bastard!" Claudia, who said this, even ignored the snow on her body, and threw herself at Barrett with a distorted face.

It's a pity that the size gap between the two sides is too big, and Claudia, whose shoulders are held down by Barrett, can't reach Barrett's body with punches and kicks. This made someone, who was already in a bad mood, become a little hysterical: "Give me a hit, no, give me a bite." Barrett, did you bastard know from the beginning that it was so uncomfortable to ride a wyvern? ”

"Wouldn't you take a look at this special air-riding overalls yourself? From its style and structure, it can be understood that the work of the dragon is not a spring outing! Barrett, who controlled Claudia's distance from herself, said rather unproductively at this time. It can be seen that there is no sincerity.

And Rielly, who was on the side, was also helping at this time: "Dia, are you reacting too much?" How do I remember that at first it seemed like you had to take on this task in life or death yourself? ”

"Huh? It's not like I didn't know it would be so uncomfortable! Hearing this, Claudia immediately lost the confidence to ask the teacher.

The Dragon Knight is a dream for many players in the game, even if it's just riding a Wyvern, it's a dream that has been partially fulfilled - after all, the Wyvern is a distant relative of a real dragon. Although the statue had been in possession for some days, Claudia had never found a chance to take it to the heavens. So finally there is such an opportunity, this lady is so impatient. It's just a pity that her first experience in the air was a complete nightmare.

The corners of Barrett's mouth rose slightly: "Seeing that your interest was so high, I wasn't embarrassed to spoil your good mood." ”

"What's not called embarrassing? Barrett, you did it on purpose! You definitely did it on purpose! Claudia, who had finally calmed down, suddenly became hysterical again.

"Barrett, just say a few words! Stop irritating. Rieley, who walked up to Barrett, threw an elbow on his waist - but she was like a thick shield when she hit Barrett's strong muscles. Then the mage had to grin and rub his elbows before asking, "Dia, tell me first, have there been any changes in the object of our surveillance?" ”

"I really haven't seen the change." Claudia shook her head and shook the snow off her hat, "From the sky, the situation there is no different than what you described before. The only thing I found was that there were a lot of barrels and crates piled up in the courtyard there. However, this is a dead end in the previous observation, so it is not a change. ”

"After suffering such a blow, there was no full guard? The hearts of those Lucians are too wide! The anvil on the side couldn't help but speak after hearing this, "Are they just sure that we won't kill it?" ”

Klaimatis looked at the anvil with a slightly strange gaze: "Kill in?" I don't know how you could have such an idea, it is impossible for this to happen before the official declaration of war. ”

Sending troops to attack official fortresses is generally an action on the Western Continent that takes place after the declaration of war has been submitted. Although fame is something that cannot be seen or touched, its impact is tangible. On the one hand, out of the pressure of public opinion, I am afraid of affecting the attitude of the neutral party. What's more, if one of them breaks through the line, the other side will not be condemned for similar retaliation - just like 200 years ago, if it wasn't for the Lucia Kingdom to preemptively attack with legendary spells, the Norhan Kingdom would not have dared to uproot the "Tower Federation" as if it were a decapitation.

Therefore, in terms of their own safety, the other party can be said to have no fear. Although it was reminded that it was necessary to pay attention to vigilance. However, the other party mainly watched to see if anyone had infiltrated Lucia from the nearby trade routes. Instead of worrying that someone will take the initiative to launch a siege war at this time when it is freezing cold. In this regard, the Cruze Kingdom obviously cannot send manpower, and the Norhan Kingdom will not ruin its reputation for the sake of this small place. As for the rest of the forces around Lucia, most of them didn't have the strength to carry out raids.

"Are there supplies stacked in the courtyard too? It looks like either the fortress has less underground space, or it has more supplies in stock. Barrett touched his chin and nodded, "But with so many things hoarded, there must be an offensive line here, even if it is not one of the main directions of attack." I just don't know what tasks we will be assigned to after the war starts? ”

"No matter what the task, Barrett, won't you be able to lead us to the final victory?" Kleimatis suddenly patted Barrett's ass at this time.

Barrett, who heard this, smiled awkwardly: "Forget it! Anyway, according to the consistent tradition of the Boreham family, we will not be assigned any mortal tasks. It's completely up to the moment to adapt to the situation. ”

As daily ground surveillance has become a multi-day aerial reconnaissance, players are less likely to relay information to Boreham territory. However, due to the different angles of observation, some details that could not have been discovered have further improved the previous information.

Of course, Claudia, having had enough of suffering for the first time, refused to carry out the task again. And several ladies in the team also shied away from this responsibility one by one after listening to Claudia's story. Therefore, the work of 'high-altitude' reconnaissance can only fall to a few men.

For many days, the fortress of Tallinn remained unchanged like a stone that had been forgotten for a thousand years. Until Noodle noticed that the flag hanging at the head of the fortress had changed slightly.

"Are you sure there's a new flag?" Barrett's calm tone was hard to feel his mood swings. But the more this happens, the more players know the seriousness of the problem. Barrett is characterized by his usual casualness, but when it comes to important matters, he is very serious.

The halfling wanderer nodded, "That's right! There is an extra banner with vines and a Bighorn deer. As for the other details, I couldn't see them well in the sky. ”

"Looks like in the middle of our scouting, is there a new unit in that fortress?" Barrett then muttered, "Could it be that the territory reminds us to pay attention to safety, referring to the need to be careful of those new guys?" ”

"Bighorn deer and vines? Is it the family crest of any family? Rieli on the side also muttered to herself and began to evaluate her knowledge.

Barrett, on the other hand, announced a proposal before the mage's work was completed: "In order to ensure the safety of the future, we must reschedule the vigil." If you just rely on the alarm system of the 'Mage Secret Pavilion', you will still be found by others. ”

The doors and windows of the Mage's Chamber do have triggering alarms, but those alarms can still be bypassed in the eyes of some people. For example, the trigger conditions for alarms are limited in size, and if they are smaller, they can be penetrated through the cracks in the anvils in the chimney. At that time, whether it is poisoning or casting spells, it may threaten the lives of players.

Another way is to block the transmission of alarms, which is generally enough to obscure audible alarms with a single 'silence'. And the rest of the psychic alarm part, although troublesome, is not completely unsolvable at the low ring. What's more, the opponent doesn't need to act completely silently, only needs to let the players wake up from their sleep for 1 or 2 seconds at night. It will be enough to decide the success or failure of the battle.

Therefore, at such times, it is important to reactivate the vigil system that used to be used when camping in the wilderness. And the anvil who heard this immediately nodded: "I have no opinion." ”

"I agree." The halfling loiter's answer was rather brief.

Immediately afterwards, Lalu chimed in: "No problem. ”

With the decision of several men in the team who don't need sleep to ensure that the spell casts have been decided, the matter has changed (Claudia doesn't want to guarantee sleep for spellcasting, but as a woman, people still won't put the burden in her hands when there are enough people on the vigil). )

"Oh! I found it, and it was the banner of Brackepur, Duke of Lucia's Southern Frontier. However, the specific army under his command has to look at the real thing to be able to identify from the details. That's when Rieli's eyes regained their brightness.

Players with the news immediately felt a little relieved, because after knowing the general situation of the enemy, you have the opportunity to calmly arrange - if there is no news at all, then you can only expect the enemy to be as lenient as possible.

"Duke Brackepool? It is said that their family's light cavalry is very good. Barrett paused as he spoke, "But the rise of this family is not too long, and the foundation is not thick enough. So the strength is just good. (To be continued.) )
