After a brief wash.

Yan Jing walked out of the lighthouse with the tiger firefly and headed for the Windbreaker.

The airships required for the reconnaissance mission were provided by the Storm, which specializes in reconnaissance and rescue missions.

When Yan Jing arrived on deck, the reconnaissance airship was already doing its final security checks.

"Venerable, we have equipped the reconnaissance airship with three torrent propulsion engines and enough energy to shake off most of the flying monsters, and at the same time, the exterior paint of the airship has also been changed to stealth paint, which can avoid the monsters that may be encountered along the way to the first extent."

Wu Hao, the captain of the armored Imperial Wind Guard, personally guided and introduced the various modifications of the airship to Yan Jing, judging from his slightly darkened eyes, it was obvious that he had stayed up all night and supervised the transformation work overnight.

"Hmm...... What's going on over there? ”

Yan Jing noticed that there was another airship of the same model being tested on the other side of the deck, and couldn't help but ask.

"You're too important to this expedition, so we've got an airship dedicated to support and evacuation, which will follow the reconnaissance airship to the airport and keep a certain distance as a backup."

Wu Hao saw Yan Jing asking, and he didn't hide it, and said bluntly.

Even at the speed of a reconnaissance airship, the distance between the airport and Lighthouse Island would take nearly five hours, which meant that in the event of an accident on a reconnaissance mission, it would be impossible for the expeditionary fleet to reinforce it in a short period of time.

Wu Hao didn't think that Yan Jing would lose to those monsters, but the latter had no doubts about the importance of this great expedition, and no accidents should be allowed, otherwise the expeditionary fleet would lose its backbone, and the great expedition would lose the key link to victory.

Yan Jing nodded in understanding, it was always right to leave a back hand,

"I'll let you know when the overhaul is overhauled, and I'll look around."

Leaving the noisy maintenance area for a moment, Yan Jing paced to the side of the ship near the boarding gate of the Yufeng.

At this time, the long queue of settlement personnel was carrying their belongings to board the ship one after another, and the Yufeng was also making corresponding preparations.

"Everyone is a family unit and queues up in an orderly manner."

"Don't panic, there are plenty of rooms on the dragon boat, each family can get their own shelter and take care of their own things, if anyone makes trouble at this time, don't blame us for not being merciful!"

Several soldiers armed only with cold weapons stood guard at the boarding gate, maintaining order and guiding the members of the settlement forward.

Three specially registered tables have already been set up in the central plaza of the deck.

There are also medical personnel in charge of physical examination and sanitizing evil energy on call at any time.

"Tables 1 and 2 are in charge of normal registration, and Table 3 is reserved for personnel with personal skills, such as machine maintenance, combat experience, and planting skills, and such personnel will be given preferential treatment and higher authority for the distribution of daily necessities."

The ultimate purpose of recruiting members of the settlement on a large scale is to serve the Great Expedition, and the fleet needs to get the talents in the settlement into suitable positions as quickly as possible to contribute to the expedition.

Yan Jing, who was observing from the side, found that most of the young and middle-aged people in the settlement, both men and women, had gone to the third table, and they were obviously people with a skill.

At first, he was a little puzzled, but after thinking about it, he realized that this was a normal situation.

The settlements that were able to survive on the floating islands, among which the young adults ..... No, it should be said that all adults, without exception, have to bear great pressure to survive.

If you didn't have some skills, you would have been eliminated a long time ago, and it would be impossible to survive.

Moving two steps to the side of the ship, Yan Jing turned to look at the scene around Lighthouse Island.

It's not just the Yufeng that is receiving the people of the settlement, but the boarding gates of all the dragon boats have been opened.

Although the number of people was smaller than expected, considering that it was only the first day, the news had not yet fully spread.

So far, it's going well.

In Yan Jing's eyes, these people in these settlements were like blood flowing into their organs.

In the days to come, they will truly activate the Sky Dragon Boat and unearth its hidden powers.

After spending more than half an hour on the side of the ship as a bystander, the reconnaissance airship was finally overhauled.

Personnel for reconnaissance missions are in place.

"Knowing ourselves and knowing our opponents, we will not be defeated in a hundred battles, whether we can seize the opportunity for this expedition, it depends on our performance, let's go!"

Yan Jing's gaze swept over the six young men standing in front of the airship, he had never been a hypocritical person, and he was not interested in giving a speech at such a time, and it was the most important thing to set off as soon as possible to complete the task.

Those who could be sent to participate in the reconnaissance mission were also the elites of the Wind, and after standing up and saluting, they quickly turned around and entered the airship.

With a slight buzzing sound.

The airship flew vertically off the deck and galloped into the distant sky.

......

呲~Kada~

The sound of the machine bracket sounded.

One of the members of the reconnaissance team stood on the edge of the airship's cabin and removed the detector from the notch, which was sounding the alarm.

"66.3, the concentration of evil energy in this area has increased by nearly a third compared to fifteen minutes ago, and it seems that we have reached the vicinity of the outer fortress of the airport."

Recording the data he had just collected in a book hanging next to him, the young man said as he wrote.

In the center of the cabin behind him, Yan Jing and the other two members of the reconnaissance team were discussing the next plan of action.

The nearly five-hour voyage was smoother than expected, and the Wind's technology was truly extraordinary.

Although I have encountered a few monsters on the way, I can basically shake it off by speed, and occasionally I encounter someone who is chasing after me, and the tiger firefly can also force it back after releasing its own breath.

"Venerable, we are now going to the outer fortress in the northern part of the airport."

The influence of the metal box on the air port is once again revealed, and the scouts point to a floating island in the north.

Even if it's just a video, you can still see that the island is mostly mountainous.

"Thanks to the advantages of the terrain, this floating island has been built into the main fortress of the northern defense line of the airport, according to the records left in the past, a large number of weapons and equipment are stored inside the fortress, and the offensive and defensive facilities are also top-notch."

The images recorded by the metal box are more about the airport, and the fortress of the outer defense line is not detailed, so the reconnaissance team specially found relevant information from the storage rooms of the dragon boats of the fleet before setting off.

Now is the time to come in handy.

"Venerable, please look here, this scroll is a restoration of the fortress drawings according to the contents recorded in the archives."

Someone next to him pulled out the scroll and laid it on the table in the middle of the cabin, on which was the architectural composition of the main fortress of the northern defense line, and the corresponding location and function were also marked.

In this reconnaissance mission, the team members except for Yan Jing are strictly speaking logistics, and they are responsible for determining the target area and task for Yan Jing to reconnoitre, and Yan Jing will complete the rest.

I won't go into too much detail about the specific description process.

After discussion, three reconnaissance points were finally concluded:

One is the main control room inside the main fortress.

Yan Jing had to find a way to get inside and get the core element that recorded the entire fortress.

Although it has now been decades since the fall of the airport, much of the data within the core components is outdated.

Not to mention the damage to the buildings, and even the integrity of the weapons and equipment is not optimistic, but it can at least let the expeditionary fleet know where to go to find the weapons and equipment it needs after capturing the main fortress.

The second is the energy storage area.

At the time of the evacuation of the airport, it was difficult to evacuate the solid blood stored inside due to the fighting of the fortress on the outer defensive line.

Solid source blood is different from what is currently used in the Sky Dragon Boat.

If this energy is properly stored, it can be preserved to the present day and used at any time.

For an expeditionary fleet that is about to launch a major war, this is an extremely important source of combat power, more critical than bullets.

If the main fortress of the northern defense line did not have the required solid source of blood, the expeditionary fleet might have to change its objectives.

The third is to reconnoiter the distribution of monsters on the island and determine the location suitable for landing.

The expeditionary fleet wanted a fortress that could be used immediately after repair, not in scorched earth, so when occupying the outer forts, it was bound to avoid large-scale bombardment and try to preserve its original facilities.

This requires accurate combat power projection, and reconnaissance in advance is essential.

"Venerable, when the airship arrives in the target area, do you need us to continue to lean forward?"

Several people were discussing, and the co-pilot turned around to report.

Yan Jing got up and walked to the pilot's position, and through the glass in front of the airship, he could see the floating island suspended in the air in front of him.

After decades of natural evolution, the original war fortress seems to have been covered with extensive vegetation, and only a few prominent places in the mountains can barely see traces of man-made structures.

"In the current situation, how close can we get?"

The effect of the stealth paint is limited, and it is impossible for the airship to really get close to the floating island, otherwise the sound and kinetic energy it releases itself will immediately expose it to the perception of the monsters.

"A position of about eight hundred meters away from the floating island should be the limit, and further on, it may touch the territory of some monsters on the island."

"That's enough, just lean in."

Yan Jing patted the driver's shoulder, turned around and took the fortress drawings handed over by the team, motioned for Hu Ying to follow him, and when he reached the edge of the cabin door, he stopped, turned his head and reminded,

"One thing you remember, after I leave, no matter what happens, you have to prioritize your own safety, if you are discovered, it doesn't matter if you leave immediately, those monsters on the island can't hurt me!"

This area is already the area where the airport is located, and the concentration of evil energy far exceeds the surrounding area of Lighthouse Island, what kind of strange situation happened is not an accident, Yan Jing doesn't want these scouts to be injured because they are waiting for him.

"Please rest assured, Your Holiness, we will protect ourselves!"

"That's good, open the hatch."

Yan Jing bent down to pick up the tiger firefly, and threw it out the moment the hatch opened.

Immediately, he also leaped out.

In order not to reveal his whereabouts, Yan Jing did not use any ability, and directly rode the tiger firefly that transformed into an evil monster, hiding his body between its wings.

There is no better means of concealment.
