"Captain Ojiri, what are you blushing about?"

"Refreshed!"

"Hirano, why is your face yellow?"

"Hey, hey, I'm a cold-proof wax!"

A few brave damage controllers climbed up and down the airship's airbags with rope ladders, wrapped in goatskin winter suits, fleece-lined cotton boots on their feet, tools through mittens sewn from animal skins, and wooden mallets and shovels to clean the ice crust from the airbags' skins.

This kind of work is very dangerous, and only soldiers from Ezo Prefecture can do it, and only they can adapt to the cold without fear of heights. However, in order to ensure safety, each damage manager is connected to each other with safety ropes to prevent being swept away by the high winds.

"Oh, the wind is cold, just like on the snowy mountains in my hometown. ”

"Captain Ojiri, you really want to say that this wind is like a female cousin's thigh, and it hurts me. ”

The Damage Keepers were arguing in Ezo colloquialisms - now was the only time they wouldn't be restrained from using this forbidden language, and it was the only way they could cheer each other on and get through the hard work.

If the airship is compared to the legendary whale kun, then these Ezo soldiers are like lice parasitic on this giant beast. And the blizzard that affects the whales at this moment makes these "parasites" feel miserable in their hearts.

But that's just the beginning.

The repeated aggression made the American imperialists very angry, so this blizzard naturally came extremely violently. In addition to the ice and snow giant tree that Quis witnessed the whole process of growth, the black-robed mages of the academy "planted" three more-

Around the "Flying Fortress Group" formed by the Usang people with airships, four giant trees of ice and snow that affect the weather rise one after another.

With tens of thousands of ice demon bats as condensation nuclei, coupled with the "instigation" of creatures such as air djinns and cloud giants, an unprecedented blizzard in the ash world formed a large net.

The airship of the Wasang is the prey that this net is going to catch.

However, some of the tribesmen in the desert became innocent fish that were affected - the storm covered a wide area, and although the U-Sang avoided a large number of cities in Medici due to the route of the U-Sang march, the tribesmen living in the desert were not so lucky.

In a long-term dry and water-scarce environment like the ash world, a large amount of precipitation may not be a rain, which can also be a fatal crisis. What's more, it is not rain that falls from the sky, but heavy snow like goose feathers.

The cattle raised by the Desert Elves and the old and weak of the tribes bore the brunt of the mass freezing deaths, and the snowflakes froze and expanded as they fell into the cracks in the stones, and the historical steles, which existed as holy relics, began to crumble.

The only remaining young men can only slaughter livestock and eat a lot of meat, and they gather together to light a bonfire to keep warm. When firewood and camel manure are insufficient, animal fat can only be used as fuel temporarily.

Luckily, the slightly larger tribe sent out the riders before the snow was ankle-free.

They rode all sorts of camel beasts and asked for help and support from the nearest Medici human. And when these messages changed hands several times and passed on to the black-robed mage who was manipulating the climate, the blizzard had been raging for a day.

"We have to make a choice now. ”

In the tent of the temporary command, Marshal Medici, who was holding the reports of disasters and losses in various places, glanced at Quest, who only gave him an apologetic expression - in fact, the young blue dragon did not expect that the black-robed mages would carry out the plan so "thoroughly".

He had envisioned the worst-case scenario for large-scale flood relief, but now an even worse scenario is on the horizon. Commanders must immediately make a choice between "defeating the U-sang's airships" and "killing tens of thousands of tribal people nominally under the control of the Medici":

"The U-Sang had been trapped in a blizzard for a day, and they were now moving less than a quarter as fast as before. According to the calculations of the intelligence officers and tactical staff officers, according to this situation, the coal that those guys carry will run out in a day and a half or so. ”

The marshal paused.

"But there was also a problem on our side, and there was a large area of freezing in the areas affected by the snowstorm. Those cities are okay, according to the latest information, some of the desert elf tribesmen have already experienced the tragedy of the Desert Elves freezing to death......"

His words were interrupted by another participant, who also happened to be a Pasha, the stricken tribesmen who thrived under his rule:

"In order to guarantee the latest weapons to defeat the Uzaans, we must endure these losses. Moreover, the dead cannot be resurrected, and it would be more than worth the loss to let the Usangs escape after most of the desert tribesmen had died. It's better to continue with the original plan at this time, and as long as my accountant counts the losses, I will report to the Pharaoh for compensation......"

The first half of the speech still seems quite reasonable, but the second half reveals his true heart. However, this also illustrates some problems, in the eyes of most Medici, the Desert Elf tribe is nothing more than a barbarian, and it is not a pity to die a few.

Some of the same participants agreed with the Pasha's suggestion – mostly representatives of the consuls of some of the cities on the U-Mulan airship route closer to Bait, who had seen the power of the blizzard and did not want a terrible blizzard to fall above their own city.

A man who is too benevolent cannot lead his troops into battle, and although Marshal Medici has some disdain for the words of that Pasha, he cannot deny that "we must not let the sacrifices that have been made meaningless" is actually the true thought in his heart.

As a representative of the black-robed mages of the academic school, the tutors of the Medici Magic Research Academy who attended the meeting were not thinking about weighing the pros and cons at all. All their minds were immersed in the few ice and snow giant trees that were "planted" in the distance, which were not only magical creations produced by the mixed casting of spells based on spells and spells of several other factions, but also the prototype of the "strategic spells" of the ash world.

They weren't to blame for that, in fact, Quith also praised the idea of this compound spell in his heart.

Like dominoes, the limited invocation of the Enchanted Demon, the weather-altering spells of the Cloud Giant and the Air Djinn, the Elemental Pool talent of the Ice Prophet, and the absolute control of elemental creatures like the Ice Demon Bat......

A series of spells that could not be counted as the highest level, after being arranged in an orderly manner, actually produced a "chain reaction" effect. The blizzard it causes is even more devastating than the sum of its various spells as dominoes combined.

Probably due to the fixed thinking of the "running group" game in his previous life, Quest's exploration of spells is still in the mode of "learn-use-re-learn", and he seems to lack some ability to create new spells.

Although aware of the problem - the reason why he "hired" the half-lich as his spell advisor was because of his ability to invent new spells, Quest still had no innovative ideas until he saw this "compound spellcasting".

Unlike the "Corruption Spells" that the mages of the Ember World have mastered (dragons appear as "stowaways" or "colonists" in many worlds), dragons are born with the ability to communicate with the mysterious sources of the multiverse to unleash spells.

This makes the dragon less restrictive when using spells, but it also develops a habit of "take-it-or-leave-it".

The reason why the old dragon Salotta was forced to participate in the bloody battle by the Evil Dragon Council with a bloodline contract was because the other party valued its magical abilities that were different from ordinary legendary dragons - this can be seen from the fact that it can reshape the "Dissociation Technique" and "Great Cleavage Technique" on its own.

Originally, Quisi only planned to start learning more supermagic skills step by step after the growth of his spell strength fell into a bottleneck. However, the "compound spell casting" of the black-robed mages of the Medici and the subsequent "chain reaction" inspired him a lot.

He wanted to dive right into his research, but at the moment he had to solve the problems in front of him.

"Pasha, the dragon, it is your plan to strike a weakening blow against the power of the Usanan airship. At the moment, the blizzard has indeed affected the performance of the enemy's new weapons, so what do you have any suggestions for the next?"

Marshal Medic's words interrupted Quest's thoughts about the study of spells, but he did not show any displeasure. As for the question of how to deal with the U-Sang airship, the young blue dragon actually already had a draft - the response to the "Blitzkrieg" is nothing more than to find a way to slow down the "Lightning" and then continue to consume it.

However, if the opponent carries out this kind of military assault on land, it can also use the strategic depth to set up small fortress groups or superior forces to carry out counter-assaults to consume the enemy's sharp energy.

However, the U-Sang assault relied on airships, and the Medici side did not have the means to set up a small defensive fortress in the sky, and using the existing forces capable of air combat, such as the Eagle Horse Riders and the Wyverns, to carry out a counter-assault was definitely an act of hitting a stone with an egg.

Therefore, the only way is to induce the airship to attack the secondary target, and as long as it seizes the relatively stationary moment that it must be in at the time of the attack and strikes it effectively, it may cause it to crash.

"If we can imagine that the airship lacks coal for fuel, then the Usang must have guessed the purpose of the blizzard.

In this case, a normal commander would choose to raid a coal source as a supplement.

But in their opinion, this is likely to fall into our trap.

So, I'm guessing that the U-Sang Legion will make a desperate attempt to launch a surprise attack on the Medici mage camp. ”

After turning into a humanoid boy Blue Dragon said this, he drew his sickle sword and slashed downward under the gaze of everyone:

"And what we're going to do is make a break with them here. ”
