Perhaps it was the lack of gunpowder weapons that made the airship lose the function of 'bombing'. While it is possible to cast magic on the ground from an airship, the range of magic is not infinite.

The fact that the air can hit the ground means that the ground can also shoot back into the air. The advantage of the airship is that it is a moving target, while the mage troops on the ground are fixed.

No magician can cast a spell and run at the same time; Moving targets, on the other hand, are notoriously difficult to aim. This is the biggest advantage of airships in terms of firepower.

The new airship does not change its advantages and disadvantages in terms of firepower, it just increases its speed.

In other words, if you want to rescue the surrounded humans from the air, then the airship has to land. And the stationary state is also the most vulnerable moment for the airship. Having lost its mobility, the airship was at best a small mage fortress.

Even if the secrecy of the airship is not taken into account, each airship has a limited capacity outside of the crew. In order to evacuate a besieged site, it is difficult to determine how many airships, including escorts, must be dispatched to be safe enough.

There are so many airships that they are easy to spot. The number is too small to help. And the coordination of numbers and capacity, place and time, will these become the advantages of the demon alliance ambush?

And this raises another question, which is what kind of intelligence and liaison is true? Where does the encircled really need rescue?

It has been more than 26 years since the development of the Lost Land Forum. Although the person behind each speaking account is easy to confirm and can be pk at any time if you don't agree with each other, it doesn't mean that there are no scammers.

People face to face can also set up scams. How is it possible that because we can't meet each other, everyone's moral level will automatically improve. Maybe the forum has a literacy limit, but smart people who are literate are not liars, so they will not be deceived?

Besides, these actions were not necessarily deliberate deception in the first place, they were just bragging. However, in the case of false rumors and countless processing, 'the flower pot fell from the upper floor' may become 'the cat fell on the piano'.

When this false information benefits some people, no matter what the price will be paid later, it is undeniable that there will be some people with bad intentions who deliberately profit from it. A new way of fraud was born.

Those petty scams are certainly not the focus of the boss's attention. But what if someone uses the forum to pass on false information and fake that there is a besieged point in the north of the Wind Emperor Mountain Range that needs to be rescued, and it turns out to be an ambush circle of the Demon Alliance?

At present, the human side has few means of verifying the situation on the north side of the mountain range. Even if a handful of elites are to be sent in, it will take time to verify the information, and there will be no unexpected changes during this time.

Even if it is true that there are indeed human beings living in a certain gathering point, then whether these people can be trusted is another level of question.

In the choice of survival, the lower limit of human beings is very low.

Perhaps those who stand and talk without backache can say that as long as there are people, then they must be saved anyway. But from the position of the eldest duke, he is bound to choose from many possibilities.

To save, of course, is to save. Every time a person is rescued at such a time, the impact on the morale of the soldiers is immeasurable. But save the right people, not push the rescue team into the fire pit.

If the commander who has no ability, he may be killed directly without troops, and he will shrink behind the pass checkpoint. No matter how many people are trapped in the encirclement of the demon alliance, whether it is true or not, they will not be saved.

But the boss is not that kind of character. Taking a hundred steps back, putting on a posture of preparing for rescue is essentially just an excuse for delay, and it is more acceptable than the attitude of killing and not saving.

But the boss really didn't plan to wait. After waiting for the beginning of spring, the demon alliance will attack again, or the human side will push back.

With a new weapon such as an airship in hand, the strategic layout has changed from a plane to a three-dimensional, and the boss has a hunch that there is a lot of room to play. So he called the captains or commanders of all the airships and asked the group of people who were most familiar with airship tactics if there was a safe way to save people.

The main force of these people is undoubtedly the captains of the Airship Legion of the Haider Empire. Not all of the ace legions of the Haider Empire came, but half of them came, and they were mainly old airships that had been modified. The new airships are small boats that are used to protect the fleet.

The old airship with an external propeller is limited by the shape of the hull, and of course does not have the speed of the new airship. But as an imperial air warship, the defense is definitely fortress level.

In contrast, many of the airships requisitioned by the old lords from the people were originally for commercial purposes or for the pleasure of the aristocracy. This type of airship does not pay much attention to the defense of the hull because of the weight reduction in pursuit of speed.

The old airship is superior to the new one in terms of the number of people it can contain because of its large hull. So if you really want to save people, these short-legged turtles must be taken into account.

However, the captains who requisitioned airships were either from commercial backgrounds or adventurers with unique abilities. These people have a more active mind, which is different from the single-minded soldiers.

So the old duke called both kinds of people and asked them for their opinions. As the commander of the Twin Griffins, Ezio was also in attendance.

The captains of the Haider Empire do not change the cautious nature of their soldiers, and at the stage when they can speak, they value the issue of intelligence above all else. To put it bluntly, as long as the intelligence is confirmed to be true, then it is the tactics of a large number of airship formations, entering collectively and rescuing collectively.

At most, there is a convoy formation, alternating tactics such as boarding boats. Instead of all airships landing at their fixed points to rescue the encircled humans.

The captains of the civilian background are really more active in their ideas than the soldiers. What kind of decoy tactics, loud strikes, dawn attacks and the like, it seems to take out all the little knowledge in their stomachs, and make the rescue plan dazzling.

In this case, not to mention that the enemy is stunned, I am afraid that even my own people will be dizzy.

A group of military elders all secretly sighed that it was indeed a layman's plan. I didn't see the bright spots, but I was about to blind people.

As the youngest of the ladies in the room, Ezio hid in the corner, thinking about everyone's claims.

He had tasted enough discrimination a while ago, so he didn't bother to express any opinions now. If he really wants to do something, his habit is to directly lead people to do it within the scope of his authority, and then make achievements.

There are a lot of people who grab credit, and no matter how much they carry the blame, it can't affect the trust of the people under them. Such an attitude is not abrupt among those who come from adventurers, and not all of them come to this front line against demons for fame or money.

However, as a benefactor who promoted him, the eldest prince admired the children from elementary school for their ideas that were different from the traditional military thinking of the obsessed land. At such a time, of course, Ezio would not be allowed to remain silent.

When the discussion slowed down, the eldest duke tapped the index finger of his right hand on the table. It's not big, but it's loud. This made everyone's attention instantly shift to the eldest duke, and he was silent.

"Ezio, do you have any ideas, tell us about them?"

Some of the young people named do not know. But they all followed the gaze of the others and noticed the child, who looked like he was not dry.

Instantly becoming the focus of everyone, Ezio did not look embarrassed or embarrassed at all, but said with a calm expression: "I also support the idea of investigating first and waiting until there is confirmed information before acting." The information on the forum can only be used for reference, and blind belief is too easy to fall into the trap of the devil. ”

"It's the same as everyone in the Haider Empire." The boss did not reprimand, nor praised. It's just about emphasizing the fact that everyone can hear.

But Ezio continued: "I think a little differently. ”

"Oh, tell me." The eldest man encouraged.

"Everyone's idea is to send a small group of elites to infiltrate the north side of the mountain to investigate. Why don't we just send out a fast airship and use the magic of the Arcane Eye from above to scout. If we need to make contact with people on the ground, we can also send people out in a way that can be quickly landed. The whole process allows the airship to maintain a certain speed and avoid being detected or attacked by the demon alliance. ”

This is of course standard procedure for a large traverser, but not for the Lost Land.

Because of the high cost of the airship, the expensive cost of each operation, as well as the delay in the transmission of information, the speed of the airship, and so on, the work of 'reconnaissance' has never belonged to the task of the airship.

In addition, because the scope of reconnaissance in traditional warfare is not extensive, ground personnel already have quite mature skills and systems. Compared with the reconnaissance effect that can be achieved by the old airship, the traditional reconnaissance method is not only cheaper and less troublesome, but also the effect will not be much worse.

Therefore, most military veterans are not used to using it, and they don't even know that they can use airships for reconnaissance.

However, what Ezio said was nothing new to him, just something he had been doing recently. Including the tactical action of landing quickly, this has been proven in actual combat, and the Twin Gryphon can be an effective tactic to defeat siege beasts one by one.

This is done by flying the airship at low altitude and at a relatively low speed – at least at a speed of more than 100 kilometers per hour – over the ground. During the process, the members of the marine combat on the airship landed without a parachute.

This is no different from suicide in a certain hometown, but it is not impossible to do it in a daze. Especially for the Sky Knights from the Southern Karlsruhe Empire, that is, the knights who fight in various flying magical beasts, it is as easy as eating.

Yes, the third empire to go to war. Although there were no official representatives, a group of young men eager to establish meritorious deeds appeared in large numbers on the defensive line established by the Gwana Empire.
