The airships that carry out reconnaissance missions all transmit information back through the forum. In addition to having a certain immediacy, the biggest advantage of this is convenience. Besides, the need for secrecy of information is not particularly high, which is something that the demon side needs to worry about.

In fact, after the departure of the seven airships on the reconnaissance mission, the special rescue teams of the airships that were organized in the follow-up also set off one after another. The passage they took was confirmed by the first seven airships, and at the exit, there was no garrison on the demonic side.

Without garrisons, there is no risk of exposure. This facilitates the mass build-up of airships.

Besides, as long as the supply belt is sufficient, the airship itself has the ability to fly for dozens of days in a row. That is, the airships participating in the follow-up rescue mission can pass through the cursed Wind Emperor Mountain Range early and assemble in the air on the north side of the mountain.

After waiting for the rescue target to be confirmed, you can set out to rescue the trapped humans as soon as possible. Reduce the variables caused by delays or rushes.

Because the airship unit operates independently, the rear base camp is not directly commanded, but handed over to the front-line commander to decide everything. The only requirement is to save people, and then decide whether to detour the Wind Emperor Mountains and take a safe route back to the rear depending on the situation.

In fact, such instructions also imply that there will only be one rescue operation. Otherwise, it should take the shortest path, that is, through the Wind Emperor Mountains. Evacuate the first people to the rear in the shortest possible time, and then carry out the second wave of rescue operations.

But if the first wave of rescue is successful, will the Demon Alliance really let the human airship team save those trapped again? Or will it clear the hidden dangers in one go?

Many people have thought about this reasoning, but no one dares to say it. After all, in winter, when the roads are closed by heavy snow, it is just very difficult, not impossible.

The selection of the front-line commander of the rescue mission was chosen from among the officers of the Haider Empire. And this person is directly the plenipotentiary commander of the airship force of the Haider Empire, a veteran of the Empire.

His understanding of how to use the Airship Legion far surpassed that of any general on the defense line of the Wind Emperor Mountains. Moreover, no one but him could get past the airship legion that he commanded and supported the Hyder Empire.

In the rear, the order of the old Kavi Gong also had his nod, and the airship troops of the Haider Empire would also act. So instead of appointing another commander at the front, creating doubts about the commanders, it is better to appoint this one directly.

The veteran who accepted the appointment did not assemble all the airship rescue troops that had smuggled across the Wind Emperor Mountains in one place. Instead, they formed four detachments, took four relatively easy passages, and assembled in four locations.

And these four locations are also the rendezvous of the seven airships sent out to reconnoitre.

Although he had considered whether it was possible for the demon to follow the evacuation route of the seven airships and find the large army that had gathered. However, the seven airships that were identified as carrying out reconnaissance missions all avoided the battle and gave priority to reconnaissance, which means that their combat strength is still intact.

Even if it is not possible to land, it is possible to assist in the containment of ground personnel to be evacuated, and escort personnel can be carried out in the air. You must know that these seven airships will be sent out because they are all excellent talents and have a superb level of ship management.

Wasting such combat power, not to mention that as a commander, I am afraid that the captains and their crews of the seven airships are unwilling. The soldiers' desire to fight is probably the most joyful and distressing emotion of the upper echelons of the human alliance.

However, the veteran did not force what the first seven airships should do, but gave a time limit. As long as they join up with the large force before the time limit, they will be grouped into a rescue team.

The reason for this arrangement is also for fear that there will be a sudden accident, or which airship will really be tracked by the demon.

It takes time to deal with unexpected accidents, and it takes some time to get rid of your pursuers. If there is a real danger to the large force, the seven captains should know that they should not come to rendezvous, but lure the tracker in other directions. The old general thought so.

In fact, the actions of these high-level leaders are not a kind of investigation. Let's see if these civilian talents who have performed quite well in battles are worthy of their co-optation or even absorption.

This kind of behavior, for those powerful people, is already a kind of small tacit understanding that does not need to be explained, and it is also something that is done all the time.

Even if someone already belongs, others can also promise a higher status to win over each other. This level of inducement is harmless whether it succeeds or not.

As the subject of the investigation, Ezio has no consciousness in this regard.

The members of the fraternity who came from elementary school still owe the magician ten years of debt. Even the first group to leave the school has not even returned half of it. Whoever wants to win over must first negotiate with the magician.

That being said, there are actually people who pay off their debts early and get free from the magician's hands. Whether it's your own or the new boss's help.

But Ezio was only using these as excuses, and he had no idea of becoming a subordinate or son-in-law of a noble lord. If he really wanted to, the family of Grand Duke Kaveh had already offered him an olive branch a long time ago. But he didn't agree.

For the time being, he is focusing all his energy on the reconnaissance mission. The Twin Gryphons had a lot of advantages, but he wasn't so proud that the airship they operated was truly invincible.

Demons are not a race that can be easily reassured. If you are negligent and capsize, you will lose the entire airship, including your own life. It's not laughable.

So even if the entire reconnaissance mission was completed from the beginning to the completion of the area they were responsible for, everything went very smoothly. It didn't even attract the attention of demons or orcs, or even cause a counterattack. The people of the Twin Griffons still all had one heart in their hearts, and they didn't dare to relax for a moment.

Ezio took on the role of tightening everyone's nerves, constantly changing the direction that needed attention, and asking the relevant personnel to report back. There was some nagging, but in the nervous mood, there was a calm enough voice to lead the crowd, which was unexpectedly reassuring.

The most relaxed thing is the Marine Corps, which is on standby in the cargo hold of the belly of the ship in the rear. They had no task on the airship, they just fixed their bodies and avoided being thrown off by sudden tactical movements and injuring themselves.

Minimal contact with the ground is the tone set before you set off. Since there is no guarantee that someone will be rescued, don't give people too much hope. This is both torture for others and torture for yourself.

Therefore, the members of the Marine Corps suppressed their temperament and recuperated their energy. None of them are newcomers on the battlefield. Most of them still followed Ezio, and those who survived the great retreat had long since honed their minds to the point where they were not like young people of their age.

However, just as they were completing their mission and preparing to return to the meeting place, a small incident occurred.

Even though it was the New Moon, the snow-white world still reflected the faint starlight, making this moonless night look unusually bright.

But even without the faint light, with the magical effect of the Arcane Eye, everything that happened on the ground was still under the control of the Twins Griffon.

The people on the airship did not relax their vigilance and duties because the mission was over. The two people at the radar table were still monitoring the situation on the ground, for fear that something had been overheard before. It was in this atmosphere that the two discovered an anomaly on the ground.

One of them said, "General, there seems to be a chase on the ground. ”

In fact, people who are both from elementary school and fraternity, the two of them will be closer to Ezio. But in the army, in order to prevent people from different backgrounds from feeling far and near, Ezio still asked everyone to use their military ranks on formal occasions. That's where this reminder comes in.

Ezio commanded directly, "Go to the map table." ”

The ground situation that was noticed was quickly displayed on the map table. Since the distance is still far away, the biological reaction is only replaced by light spots, so there is not much information to see.

However, it can also be observed that the light spots traveling on the ground are divided into two batches, front and back. There are fewer of the former and more of the latter, and it does look like a chase.

It wasn't difficult to confirm the situation, and Ezio instructed, "Switch to the live action, the night shimmer mode, and close the distance to confirm." ”

The Twins' Arcane Eye observation pattern is not so easy to change, and it will affect many systems. Airships that have not yet been integrated into fool-operated airships are always a bit inconvenient to switch between modes. So this change has to be ordered by someone.

Since someone could be in charge, the two people operating the radar table immediately switched the magic effect of the Arcane Eye without saying a word. The presentation on the map table becomes the real scene on the ground, and the faint light suddenly increases the brightness several times after the conversion, at least people can distinguish the objects on the ground.

The chasing and being chased were wrapped in heavy winter coats, and it was impossible to tell who they were. But it was evident that the pursuers were all armed with weapons, and one of them was shooting forward without an arrow.

Such a sparse arrow attack is not like hurting people, but like a reminder to the people in front that there are pursuers behind them, so please try to escape a little. However, compared to the mentality of playing, the people chasing behind it felt a little like they were not able to catch it.

It's not known how long they've been chasing. Maybe the throwing weapons are almost used up, so there is no continuous archery.

However, the outcome of this chase can probably be predicted by the onlookers. That is, the people in front will be caught up because they are not as fast as the pursuers behind. As long as you don't explode the seeds, or deliberately set traps, it is almost inevitable that you will fall into the hands of the latter.

Believing that the enemy of his enemy is his friend, Ezio quickly made up his mind. He asked the captain, who was also standing at the map table, "Baron, how long will it take to go down and pick up the people?" ”

Looking at the altitude display and speed, the captain of the twin griffins from the Carveh family replied, "Well, ten minutes." ”

"Then I'll leave it to you." Ezio quickly commanded, as he said to the other operators, "Transmit the ground situation to the aft compartment, then open the rear hatch." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Ezio prepared to leave the command room. And at the same time do not forget to give the last order. "Marines, get ready to strike."
