Imperial capital, council hall.

There is not a single civil official who participated in the court meeting today, most of the military generals, and the rank of the martial artists is all above the Tongyuan realm.

The meeting was presided over by Emperor Liu Qi himself, and the crown prince ordered a huge map to be hung.

Liu Qi picked up a small stick, pointed to a small island in the South China Sea, and said: "This is Nantian Island, which is more than 10,000 miles away from the southern coast of the mainland, and it takes more than ten hours to reach the flying wings, and it is in the right direction. ”

On the sea, because there are relatively few reference objects, even if they are equipped with a compass and other devices to guide the direction, it is easy to deviate from the correct course, and it is very common to take the wrong way.

According to the experience accumulated over the years, if the flying wing that takes off from the southernmost tip of the mainland can reach Nantian Island within 20 hours, it is already a very good result.

It took nearly 30 hours for the reconnaissance wing sent by Yin Falcon to find it, and it took more than 10 hours to return, because it only needed to fly north, and when it saw the mainland, it would locate and determine the correct course.

The Emperor continued: "According to the scout accounts of Nanban Mansion City, there are thousands of orcs on the island, mainly shrimp soldiers and crab generals, as well as snake people, octopus people and other races. The waters on the outskirts of the island were full of all kinds of demon beasts, including many high-level demon beasts whose level exceeded that of the Bright Sky Realm. In addition, the scout found traces of Shi Zi on the island. ”

Listening to the emperor's words, everyone whispered.

Ye Yunyang asked, "Your Majesty, can it be sure of Shi Zi?"

The emperor nodded: "Basically, the scout saw not only a lion man, but also the tiger man and the wolf knight beside him, which were just the right fit for Shi Zi's two followers when he fled." ”

On Nantian Island, because most of them are sea beast races, the three of them are different, so they will be captured by the scouts.

The emperor continued: "Combined with the previous two battles of the Battle of Longgang Mountain and the Battle of Lieyang Island, I decided to still use the mode of airborne raid, with individual flying wings as escort, medium flying wings loaded with master regiments, and airborne to launch an attack on Nantian Island, killing all the orcs on the island, so as to prevent future troubles. ”

Because the two great victories of Longgang Mountain and Lieyang Island were both using this method of warfare, the emperor's decision was widely supported by everyone.

The only difference is that it takes a long time to fly to Nantian Island, and the flying wing is a kind of equipment that is easy to malfunction, and a large number of aircraft groups fly in formation, and it is difficult to guarantee which one will not have problems in the process, and how to save themselves must be paid attention to.

There is also the composition of the master group, and the long-distance attack will consume the combat power of the warrior, and more manpower needs to be sent to make up for the lack of combat power with quantity.

After some discussion, the emperor decided to send a quarter of the masters of the Great Han Empire, a total of seven hundred, of which there were no less than fifty martial artists of the Holy Dao Realm and Yaokong Realm, no less than one hundred and fifty martial artists of the Golden Body Realm, and the rest were all Tongyuan Realm martial artists.

The first two major victories were Ye Yunyang as the commander, and this time it was the same.

After the meeting, the emperor left the crown prince and Ye Yunyang, as well as senior martial artists Wu Qinglin, Zheng Zhiyuan and others.

Because this operation was personally presided over by the emperor, everyone attached great importance to it.

Ye Yunyang asked a question: "Your Majesty, how did General Yin Ying know that there was an enemy situation on Nantian Island?"

The Emperor turned his head to look at the crown prince and said, "You can answer." ”

"Yes. The crown prince Liu Rong explained: "At first, it was the fishermen who spread the news and reached the ears of the Nanban generals, and in line with the idea that it would rather be believed than believed, General Yin sent reconnaissance wings and finally learned of the enemy's situation. ”

The emperor smiled and said, "Yin Falcon is a thoughtful person, if he were to be replaced by other officials, he would definitely not believe the words of the fishermen, let alone send out flying wings." As his recommender, Yun Yang has made great contributions, and Yin Falcon is an out-and-out talent. ”

"Your Majesty praises falsely. Ye Yunyang frowned and said: "I wonder very much, how can the fishermen know about Nantian Island? As far as I know, there are groups of monsters and beasts in the South China Sea, and they only dare to catch fish and shrimp in the coastal waters.

The emperor also began to frown, and everyone, including the crown prince, found that they had overlooked a very important issue, and that was the source.

Because it is an established fact that there are orcs on Nantian Island, it is natural for everyone to ignore this detail.

The prince recalled: "The person who delivered the information described that General Yin tortured the fishermen and found out that the first to spread the news was a man in black, who left the city of Nanban Mansion and then disappeared without a trace. ”

Ye Yunyang immediately said: "That's strange, according to general experience, providing such information to the government will be commended and rewarded, why did he choose to escape?"

Wu Qinglin was also suspicious: "Little junior brother, do you think there is any conspiracy here?"

"Yes!" he nodded, and said with a straight face: "Don't you think things are very strange?What kind of person is Shi Zi, his IQ is better than that of ordinary human races, when the flying wings are in the air, why doesn't he hide, it's not difficult to do this with his level, right?"

The emperor frowned: "Yun Yang, you mean, Nantian Island is a trap?"

Ye Yunyang nodded first, then shook his head, and said, "I just have some doubts, and I can't be sure of anything, after all, it's a thousand miles of attack, it's better to be careful." ”

The prince looked at his father and said, "What Yun Yang said makes sense, there is nothing wrong with being careful." It's not a trap or a trap, but if it is, we can be invincible if we are prepared in advance. ”

The emperor thought for a few seconds and said: "It seems that I have thought about the problem simply, since the position of commander has been given to Yun Yang, then the next preparations and everything else are up to him! ”

The prince clenched his fists: "Father is wise!"

Ye Yunyang waved his hand and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince still has to get involved, for example, the deployment of materials, he will definitely get twice the result with half the effort." ”

The emperor also smiled: "Yes, yes!"

Two days later, one hundred and forty medium-sized wings were on standby, one hundred and twenty of them were used for personnel transport, and twenty were responsible for transporting supplies and rescue missions, and in case of problems with the wings, they could be put on top.

In addition, there are 36 individual wings, which are responsible for escort, positioning and reconnaissance missions.

Everything is ready to go, just waiting for the order to go.

During these two days, the Emperor sent more flying wings to reconnoiter the surrounding seas, focusing on the islands that met the living conditions.

And he also sent someone to inform Daqin, so that Ying Luoyue did the same, find out the island where the orcs were hidden, and then wipe them out.

Ye Yunyang took Liu Yuying, Wu Qinglin and Zheng Zhiyuan to board the first flying wing, the pilot was Chen Shilai, and the sixth member was the holy priest He Xuanyuan.

"The army set off, aiming for the city of Nanbanfu. Ye Yunyang gave the order, and Chen Shilai manipulated the flying wings to take off.

The wings formed a formation in the air and flew towards the south.

According to the arrangement, they will rest for an hour in Nanban Castle, conduct a deep overhaul of the flying wing, exchange experience with the pilots who have previously scouted Nantian Island, and then set off.

A few hours later, the fleet landed smoothly in Nanbanfu Castle.

Yin Falcon personally led a group of subordinates to greet him, and welcomed the members of the master group into the Taishou Mansion.

The others stayed in the living room to drink tea and rest, and Ye Yunyang and Yin Falcon came to the study.

Yin Falcon described the details of the information obtained in detail, and finally concluded: "Until now, I have not been able to find the person who first spread the news, and if I think about it, I also think it is very strange, how did he learn about this news, was it out of malice or good intentions?"

Ye Yunyang smiled indifferently and said, "Whether it's malicious or goodwill, it's always okay if we are careful." ”

Yin Ying said, "Yun Yang, what are you going to do?"

He replied: "Divide the master group into two teams, one team is responsible for the raid mission, and the other team remains in a volley position, and if something goes wrong, go to the rescue immediately." ”

Yin Falcon thought this was a good idea, and suggested: "The second team can keep a long distance from the first team, and it is best not to let the enemy find out, if Nantian Island is really a trap, after the enemy has all appeared, the second team will attack again, and it will definitely be able to crush the enemy's conspiracy." ”

"Heroes see the same thing!" Ye Yunyang said with a smile.

An hour passed quickly, and the fleet took to the air again, heading for the South China Sea.

Watching the group disappear into the air, Yin Falcon clasped his hands together and whispered to himself: "You must successfully complete the mission and return safely." ”

This is three-quarters of the masters of the Han Empire, and once there is an accident, the consequences are unimaginable.

In order to save physical strength and metaphysical strength, except for the driver, everyone else sat in their seats and closed their eyes to recuperate.

Only Liu Yuying was unwilling to stop, reached out and tugged at Ye Yunyang's sleeve, and asked in a low voice: "We won't fly for more than thirty hours, who can stand it for such a long time." ”

Ye Yunyang replied: "Probably not, we have more than a hundred pilots, all staring at the compass, if there is a deviation in the flight angle, they will immediately find it and correct it." ”

In order to make the voyage smooth, he equipped each pilot with a walk-talkie, and he communicated with the pilot of Nanban Province before departure, which should avoid yaw.

"Okay. Liu Yuying shrugged his shoulders and said, "Then it will take more than ten hours, and there will be time for individual flying wings to reconnoitre." Actually, I'm thinking about one thing, the orcs are hiding so far away from the mainland, and they don't have enough wings, so they can probably only take a boat to the north, why don't we attack them in the sea, but run thousands of miles?"

Ye Yunyang turned his head to look at her: "Because this is the attack plan formulated by your imperial grandfather, as the emperor, he hopes that he is a promising king, Wencheng's martial arts have reached the peak in all aspects, the first two wars were initiated and commanded by me, of course he does not want to be left behind." ”

In fact, at the beginning, he figured this out, Emperor Liu Qi has a little bit of a great personality, of course, in terms of facts, it is better to take the initiative than to defend passively, so this operation is reasonable.

It's just that as time went by, Ye Yunyang's worries also increased a lot, and he even began to doubt whether the method of dividing the troops into two ways was appropriate.

There is no turning back from the start of work, and now, there is only a hard head.
