The reconnaissance mission was successfully concluded.

It was late at night when the airship returned to Lighthouse Island.

Compared to the state before leaving, Lighthouse Island is more and more lively after nightfall.

Although it is not as grand as yesterday's bonfire dinner, the addition of new members still makes the dragon boats in full swing.

The light of the lighthouse shines in all directions.

Devices that were previously turned off due to various issues are turned back on.

The resources brought by the relocation of settlements and the manpower to fill the gaps have made the long-abandoned factories and workshops quickly operational.

The dragon boat works in various areas have been carried out one after another.

Settlement members who have entered the new environment work hard to defend their new homes in the coming war.

Not only that, but the settlements that have survived on the perilous floating island to this day provide a large number of excellent soldiers.

These warriors, who have grown up in the perennial natural disasters and beast tides, are now fully armed.

The improvement of combat power is by no means more than one grade.

Each captain of the guard sent their elite fighters to train them.

Not to teach how to face monsters, but to familiarize them with the light and heavy weapons on the dragon boat as soon as possible, especially the heavy turrets and machine gun towers mounted on the dragon boat, and in the subsequent battles, most of the newly joined fighters will be responsible for these fire points.

Hand-to-hand combat on the front line is the job of armored warriors.

Reconnaissance airship landed from the air.

The hatch opened, and the moment Yan Jing walked out, voices from all directions poured into his ears.

The rhythmic hum of the machine, the shouts of the soldiers as they explain the characteristics of the equipment, the sound of the workers as they work. The convergence of all kinds of voices should feel noisy.

At this time, Yan Jing's expression suddenly calmed down.

The frustration of thinking about how to break through the airport also dissipated at this moment.

Because he heard the roar of the seven dragon boats in the sky, the smoke emitted from the burning of energy seemed to be the air flow exhaled by the seven dragons, which had been dormant for a long time, and could not wait to take off.

Deliver the strongest voice of our time!

Standing on the deck and watching for a while, the news of the return of the reconnaissance airship was conveyed to the leaders of the dragon boats in the sky at the first time.

As with last night's meeting, everyone gathered in the Lighthouse Hall again.

Yan Jing noticed that Fu Shudao and the others were in high spirits, and their faces were full of excitement.

"Looks like the first phase of the preparations is going well?"

The scene he saw just now also made Yan Jing feel perked up, and asked with a smile on his face.

"Yes, the large number of resources you brought and the dinner last night have far exceeded expectations, but today alone, it should be said that so far, the number of people we have received from the settlement has approached two thousand five hundred, and this number is still rising!"

Holding the report in his hand, the excitement in Fu Shudao's tone was undisguised,

"More importantly, nearly seventy percent of these people are young men and women, and most of the remaining thirty percent are infants, the former can immediately enter the various departments of the expeditionary fleet to play a role, and the latter is the hope of the future!"

You must know that the number of people on the Sky Survey is only more than 1,000, and because of past disasters, the birth rate of newborns is even lower to an exaggerated level.

To put it mildly, if there is no appearance of Yan Jing, in a few years, the empty dragon boat may not even be able to make up the manpower to drive the boat.

The number of 2,500 may not sound like much at first glance, but this is only the first day, and the annexation of the settlement has only just begun, and as the expeditionary fleet continues to grow and the number of people joining the settlement increases, the speed of news spread will continue to increase.

Many settlements that had been on the sidelines saw the growing strength of the expeditionary fleet, and they also gradually changed their positions.

The dangers of the Great Expedition are well known, and there are always people who want to wait and see for their lives.

But when most of the settlements opted in, the remaining ones had to start thinking about two things.

That is, once the Great Expedition that absorbed a large number of people failed, would their remaining settlements, if they did not have the attention of the evil spirits and monsters with their dragon boats, would they still be able to maintain their lives today?

Taking a step back, the Great Expedition was a real success.

So what is the wait-and-see at this moment, and will there be a place for them in the airport?

At that time, the members of the settlement watched the boatmen of the expeditionary fleet enter the airport openly, and have a beautiful home that could be protected by the domain gate, who should bear the resentment caused by the psychological gap?

That's why Fu Shudao is excited!

Once the wave of settlement annexation is set off, then there will only be more people who follow!

"Everyone is doing a great job. Phew~ It's just at this juncture, I have to say some not very good information, that is, the intelligence obtained from today's reconnaissance, the situation near the airport is even worse than we imagined. ”

He took out his glasses and placed them on the table, and the detection balls flew out of the frames on both sides of the glasses, and began to play various images taken during the day, and the first to come out was naturally the weirdos.

At this moment, not only the scouts, but even the leaders of the dragon boats straightened up in surprise.

Taking out two strange people who had been temporarily sealed from the Kunpeng space, as well as a metal cylinder containing human brains, Yan Jing's gaze swept over the people present one by one, and asked bluntly,

"I suspect this race was created by the evil in the airport, have you encountered similar beings in the past?"

Everyone looked at each other, and finally Fu Shudao answered,

"No, whether it was the beast tide caused by the dark disaster or our actions on various floating islands, we have encountered monsters of all shapes before, but none of these guys in the video have even learned to use human tools, and there are flesh balloons that seem to be used for reconnaissance, which is simply incredible!"

This answer was expected by Yan Jing, but it also made his expression a little more contemplative.

"According to my observations, the strange people have a connection with the evil in the airport, and coupled with the reconnaissance of the flesh balloon, I am afraid that such a big move on our side has been detected."

As he spoke, Yan Jing's gaze fell on the scouts next to him.

The latter immediately understood, took out the data collected along the way, and continued,

"Through the analysis of the concentration data of evil energy in the environment, it can be seen that the evil energy of the airport and its outer defense line is constantly rising, and the number and strength of evil and monsters continue to increase."

What the torch can do is only use the power of this world's origin to prevent higher-level evils from descending, but it can't prevent those low-level evils from descending through the rift in different dimensions.

"We don't have that much time to prepare, now it's time to race against the clock."

Yan Jing stood up, looked at everyone present, and said in a deep voice,

"Three days, we'll set off in three days, and tell all the settlements that haven't responded yet, if they want to go to the battlefield with us, then come to Lighthouse Island as soon as possible!"
