Chapter 1533: New Force
The Demons and Orcs don't have a dedicated air force, but they're not at a loss for the enemy in the sky.
It may be difficult for orcs from the underworld to reach the sky, but there are many flying demons. Airships are troublesome and have their advantages, but they are not yet unsolvable problems. If the airship was really so useful, the boss would have advanced by land and air and pushed back.
Therefore, the best way to protect oneself is to raise to a position that the enemy cannot attack, that is, the height at which ordinary creatures rarely move.
At this height, the airships of the past could not do it, but the new airships can do some of it. The characteristic of this type of airship is the fully enclosed cabin, that is, the exterior of the twin griffons.
Of course, Lin will not teach others that the aircraft needs to consider the problem of pressurization and heating at high altitude.
Even just telling others to do so can avoid a lot of situations that will arise. But to explain why one by one, someone feels powerless, so they simply don't say it or do it.
Although he did not do a special job in this regard, he still reserved relevant design space on the hull. In the future, if needed, it can be upgraded with a simple modification.
This also makes the twin griffin, an airship that combines his cutting-edge technology, have many things in the design that others can't understand. For example, double-decker decks require tightness.
There are also many self-righteous and capable people who have canceled these designs and replaced them with other, more concise structures. And this change also makes the airship have a slight improvement in performance and weight. Over time, those 'redundant' designs are also obsolete.
Anyway, those people copied the blueprints, and they didn't give anyone a license fee. Although the Mystery Land protects knowledge, it is limited to magic, and the rest belongs to the Mohu Space. Even the Technical Guild of the Holy City still has people playing sideways and jumping sideways in the area of Mohu Lake repeatedly.
And those who can build airships are either rich or powerful, and if they sue with such people, someone will get tired when they think about it, so they ignore these infringements. Of course, it's impossible to kindly tell them what the scrapped design is really for.
However, not everyone will pretend to understand and change it themselves, and these airships still generally maintain a design derived from an unknown source. Then in terms of raising the limit, it will be better than other airships.
However, there is no universal formula for calculating the flight limit altitude of each airship. Even if there is, this limitation will be affected by many factors, and there will be changes in the data.
But it is human nature to die. With an airship in hand, who wouldn't want to test where the limits are.
Even if it's not a death mentality, it's necessary to know the limits of the airship. In this way, you know how far you can go when something unexpected happens.
Therefore, the captains or commanders present are all aware of the parameters of the airship they operate. When the Boss asked, those who were interested in the same mission as Ezio reported the advantages of their respective airships.
Of course, the more people the better. The advantage of the new airship is its speed, but at a cruising speed that can be used for reconnaissance, it would require multiple airships to sweep the northern side of the mountain range in a single day.
Based on the data of each airship, relying on either experience or calculation, the captains quickly came up with the ability to send five airships with a speed of the first echelon, and together with a magician who was familiar with the use of arcane eye magic, they could sweep the north side of the mountain in a single day.
Old Kavey Gong and the other veterans did not speak in the process. Because this is unfamiliar territory for them, it is good to watch the group of young people who are more familiar with airship operations behave.
But when the conclusion came out, it was up to him, the commander, to decide. The boss didn't unconditionally accept the advice given by the people under him.
With a stroke of his pen, he changed the number of reconnaissance missions from five to seven, and slightly adjusted the original demarcated reconnaissance scope to overlap with each other. With a simple action, everyone understands that this is an extra layer of safety mechanism for tasks that do not know how to evaluate the danger.
Moreover, the captain named to carry out the mission is not the fastest airship, nor can it reach the highest. Rather, if the first two meet certain criteria, the captain's personality is the most suitable person to carry out this kind of reconnaissance mission.
Not everyone is suitable for fine work. In addition to being bold and careful, you must also be calm enough.
If you can't resist the excitement, let alone being deliberately provoked and exposing your whereabouts. Just when the road is uneven, he can't wait to jump out and draw a knife to help, then don't investigate, just drive Wushuang home.
Therefore, the executive candidates selected by the boss are all those he feels can be trusted. And most of them are people who are folk adventurers.
The others who were not selected were not able to stay at home in peace, wrapped in quilts. If the scouting reports that there are indeed people who need to be evacuated, the remaining airships will have to organize a rescue plan. And this action should be fast, not slow.
Regardless of whether the investigation and rescue plan have been exposed, the temporary safety of the people surrounded does not mean that they can be safe all the time. Whether delaying time will change their situation is something that no one can guarantee. So rescuing as soon as possible has become the best choice.
The part of this rescue plan was more hotly discussed. On the premise that the intelligence has been verified, even the officers of the Haider Empire did not have much resistance to making a plan.
To be able to save people from the hands of the enemy is undoubtedly very exciting. Even if it is not a false name of a hero, where will there be no desire to do good deeds in everyone's hearts. It can be achieved, and that couldn't be better.
Ezio, who had once been the focus of attention, was once again hidden from the discussion. His age has always been regarded as a shortcoming by others, especially with a face that will make men jealous, and many times he is deliberately ignored.
However, Ezio did not resist such a thing, nor did he convince himself to be treated like this. He just remembered a casual remark by a magician: people are always happy to suppress others as a way to prove themselves. But they never cared whether it was a rabbit or a poisonous snake that they were pressing.
What I am, only I can define.
Although he hated the magician, Ezio admitted that he had been influenced by the man. Of course, it's impossible to learn the hateful parts, but there's no reason to reject even the good parts.
In particular, Ezio had mixed feelings about the magician when he knew a lot of things he shouldn't have known in his position.
It is very likely that the old Kavi Gong, who knew all the plans of the magician, also met with that person once, and then stopped asking that one to come to the front line of the fight against the demon and contribute his efforts.
Ezio looked in the direction of the Wind Emperor Mountain Range, and in his eyes he could see the appearance of the demon alliance in the wind and snow.
In fact, the solution is very simple, but the complex is the human heart. That is, the thing hidden behind the group of people with different hearts in front of him.
Several days have passed since the day the airship was discussed to go deep into enemy lines and rescue the humans trapped behind enemy lines.
The air rescue plan has not yet begun. The soldiers hated to put on all their clothes, hiding in places where the wind and snow would not blow, and gathered around the fire, rubbing their hands together. There was a lively discussion about what he would do if he were involved.
The reason why it has not yet started is that the top management is in contact with the remnants of the living people, who may be on the north side of the mountain range, through the forum, to confirm their location and condition.
The Forum's unrestricted nature is a failure for the demonic coalition that can't completely lock it down; But if used well, it can also be used as a bait to ambush the human side.
In fact, some people have proposed to ignore this place where there may be hidden pitfalls. The basis for the action is determined entirely by the results of the airship unit's reconnaissance.
But the boss still asked people to contact the trapped people. He is not worried about being confused by disinformation, but knowing more about the actual situation will be helpful for subsequent actions.
Whether the trapped site can maintain order or not, and whether there is anyone organized, is a very important reference. Needless to say, how many rescuers have been killed by those who are waiting for rescue.
The reason why disorder and chaos are disgusted is that these two traits can easily mess up good things and make bad things worse. Compared with falling into the trap of the devil, the boss is also afraid of being cheated by his own people.
The information obtained from the forum, whether true or false, can be used as a reference for the airship unit to go out to investigate. After a simple verification, it is natural to know the condition of the trapped location.
At the very least, where chaos and disorder are abundant, it is impossible to disguise themselves as orderly.
Airship captains or commanders, such as Ezio, who are tasked with reconnaissance, inspect equipment and train the crew of the boat. Or imagine possibilities and draw up targeted plans.
They are not here to save people, so they don't need to deliberately reduce their staff and free up capacity to accommodate refugees. On the contrary, in order to deal with the various situations that may arise, they have to be more prepared.
Although on the battlefield of the Wind Emperor Mountain Range, there is no record of the airship being shot down. But it's different elsewhere.
No one wants to be the first to be on a downed airship. But as time goes on, the chances of the title going to the head of some hapless man are getting bigger and bigger. The alliance of demons and orcs can't let airships do their tricks forever.
On the eve of the rescue operation, an exciting news came. The dwarves and elves are at war!
The Dwarven kingdom has actually made a statement a long time ago, but their support forces have not yet arrived on the battlefield.
It's not that they have short legs and walk slowly. Rather, the dwarves carried a lot of equipment for defending the city, as well as improved dwarven artillery. These are all requested by old Carvey.
As for the elven part, it is not the members of the Wood Elf tribe who worship the World Tree as the main one, but the regular army of the five elven kingdoms.
They didn't wear elven robes, they were holding mass-produced elven emperor holy bows, and they didn't have the ability to be elusive. But looking at the golden armor, the longbow nearly a person high, and the sharp magic sword at the waist, these elite soldiers of the elf clan walked into the camp in unison, and they were still greeted with bursts of cheers.
The appearance of dwarves and elves shows that this war is no longer just a battle between humans and half-orcs, but a duel between good and evil!
