Chapter 1549: Air Docking

The military airships of the Heidel Empire were converted from old airships. The hull layout is a semi-open sea vessel, with the upper deck being an open platform through which the cabins can be accessed.

Instead of installing sails, the three masts are three sets of spiral lift-off oars, which, together with magic, provide the airship with buoyancy. The main modification is on the side of the hull, and a set of propellers for propulsion are installed on the front, rear, left and right sides to speed up the flight.

Previously, these four positions were used to place the sails and propel the airship by the wind. Unlike at sea level, in the air, there is wind anyway. There will be no windless bands, so the boat cannot move.

But in the light breeze, the airship moves forward at the same speed as if it were drifting. So there is still some meaning of relying on the sky to eat.

With the addition of engines and propellers, the speed of the Hydel Empire's airships has increased considerably. It is no longer subject to changes in the natural environment. However, because the hull has not been greatly changed, the wind resistance layout is not ideal, so that the speed of these military airships is difficult to increase to the extreme.

In the past, the unchanged open upper deck was patrolled by lookouts and guards on duty at all times, braving strong winds. But since the speed of the airship has increased, the upper deck has become more and more windy, and it has not relied on magic to assist, root

It is only when the airship is in combat condition that it is no longer flying at full speed, or if someone has to stand guard and watch, that the upper deck will be filled again.

If there are people to be docked between airships, the safest way is to exchange the personnel to be docked on other airships after landing.

But the Airship Legion of the Haider Empire is so troublesome. As long as there are few people, they have been trained to conduct air docking operations. The only requirement is to slow down to a certain extent.

When the commander of the airship was about to submit the information about the target location directly to the flagship of the detachment with the information about the target location, the adjutant in charge of commanding the formation was worried about how to coordinate the foreign airship to carry out air docking operations.

If this kind of dangerous behavior is not done well, it is very likely that the docking personnel will fall directly from the air to the ground. If someone dies, what if the information is gone? As for the landing docking, it is appropriate to seriously delay the speed of the detachment?

It's just that this adjutant is still worried, and the Twin Griffins have flexibly penetrated the airship formation of the *** Haider Empire, close to the flagship, and retreat at the touch of a button. The whole process was only seen by the controllers who monitored the formation flight of the outside world by magic.

It's just that because of military regulations, the controller can't shout in the command room. By the time he confirmed the situation and wanted to report back, the Twin Griffins were out of danger and back on the periphery.

Moments later, it was reported that the commander of the Twin Griffins had boarded the boat and that the man was on the upper deck. Ask if you are admitted.

In response to this sudden announcement, everyone in the command room looked at each other. Eventually, the nobleman who was the captain of the ship stepped forward and said to the old general of the commander-in-chief, "Your Excellency the Duke, let me go and have a look." I know the commander of the Twin Griffins, and if he is there in person, I will bring him in."

The old general thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Go ahead."

The captain, who was also a nobleman, gave a very standard imperial salute and withdrew from the command room.

As the military airship of the Haider Empire, this is a standard aristocratic class. People who have no identity and no ability are not even qualified to serve on airships.

If the whole airship is such a person, then the interior decoration and design cannot be shabby. At least compared to the twin griffins, which were barely accessible to two people side by side, the Haider Empire's military airships were much more spacious.

[The app that has been running stably for many years is comparable to the old version of the book-chasing artifact, which is used by old bookworms.]

So that there is also a family on the airship. In addition to serving their superior nobles, these lower nobles also had the duty of protection, which is why the captain would lead them to the doorway to the upper deck.

Trivial matters are naturally served by people underneath, and as the gateway to the open deck, there are naturally guards guarding them. Under the watchful eye of the crowd, the sealed hatch opened.

In an instant, a large amount of biting cold wind poured into the airship, and the people who were slightly less protected were suddenly shivered by the cold. As a veteran crew member of the airship, the captain of course has a magic prop for wind protection and warmth, and a thin layer of warm orange light ripples around him.

And outside the open hatch, there were two tall young men. They didn't seem to have any props to protect themselves, but they were still not afraid of its strong wind, and gave a military salute to everyone. However, one of them had an arm injury, which made the salute look a bit nondescript.

"Commander Ezio of the Twins Griffon." "Marine Captain Noah von Cram III." "Come and report for duty."

The rank of the soldiers of the Haider Empire is easily recognizable by their clothing. So as soon as they saw that the person behind the hatch was a high-ranking officer, Ezio and the others declared themselves. After all, a ragtag army like them is a little embarrassed when no one knows them.

However, the captain of the airship paid special attention to the commander of the airship Twin Gryphon at the previous airship captains' meeting. This is because the background of the Twin Griffins is quite eye-catching for both the designer and the owner. So this veteran nobleman with a military status will of course pay special attention.

Seeing that the person who came was the one in his impression, the imperial nobleman returned the salute and welcomed the person into the airship. He said, "Your Excellency the General is waiting in the command room, please come with me."

There are not so many rules of etiquette in the army. Ezio was not humble either, and walked towards the command room of the military airship under the guidance of the Imperial captain.

Along the way, Ezio would be lying to say that he was not interested in the interior passage of the non-airboat, which was different from the design concept of the Twin Griffins and was quite elegantly arranged, and even had a bit of an aristocratic atmosphere. But he didn't act like the one behind him, really like a country bun entering the city, turning his head around and looking around.

You must know that Ezio has no aristocratic status, just a wild child without a father and a mother. And the one behind him is a serious descendant of the nobles of the Karlsruhe Empire. How can you behave more than yourself, Ezio wondered.

However, after his companions tried to reach for the glowing Philosopher's Stone embedded in the wall, Ezio couldn't help it. He coughed lightly, lowered his voice and said behind him, "Noah, be restrained. Don't tell me you've never seen that glitterstone."

Hey, sir, you're clumsy this time, and it's not just a glow stone for lighting. Under the control of the magician, this can not only instantly emit a bright light, which temporarily blinds the intruder, but also can send out a colorful magic projectile. Whoever underestimates it is out of luck."

"Guess." Ezio was unconvinced. This is also because when Noah spoke, the few Haider soldiers who led the way in front of him did not have any emotional fluctuations. If it weren't for the fact that they were very good at pretending, it would have been a mistake in Noah's guess, so they didn't say anything.

But the children of the nobles who were denied were a little angry, saying, "How can it be a blind guess." The layout here is all what my grandfather told me. I thought it was funny, everything was pretty much the same as my grandfather said, as if it hadn't changed in decades."

Your grandfather served on this airship? Or have you come up to visit?" Ezio didn't think much of it for a moment, and asked thoughtlessly.

No, my grandfather called me in the first place. On such a channel, I suffered a lot with a group of comrades-in-arms, and I was deeply impressed. But he also got Heidel's airship down, and he was cute enough to blow it. Ah, it's not this one, it should be the same type of ship. It's also possible that there are other models, after all, it was decades ago."

It's okay not to explain. As soon as he explained, under the observation of Ezio, the few people who led the way in front of him had a lot of mood swings, and they also stopped and turned their heads to look at Noah, who was smiling heartlessly.

This thing looks simple, but in fact, the acidity in the words is off the charts. All irritated the soldiers of the Haider Empire, which were as fragile as glass

Esteem.

Ezio couldn't help but cover his face and was speechless, he had forgotten the significance of the two backgrounds of the Karlsruhe Empire and the Haider Empire. I also regret that I am greedy for convenience, and ask Noah, the empty knight, to take myself to the flagship of Haider.

As the person in front of him stopped looking, Noah smiled maliciously and said, "Is there anything unsightly inside?" Do you want me to go back to the deck and wait?"

The noble captain turned away and said, "No, let's go along." As long as the demon is still there, we are comrades-in-arms, and there is nothing to keep secret." After saying that, lead the way.

Ezio glanced helplessly at his companion. The young Noah shrugged his shoulders, looking helpless, as if he was not at fault.

In fact, it is different from Noah, a young man from the Karlsruhe Empire who is full of-for-tat thoughts. The aristocratic captain of the Haider Empire is not only older, but also has a wider bearing on the surface and a deeper city. He will use such an attitude and also consider interests.

Since the Twin Griffins teamed up with the Knights from the Karlsruhe Empire to fight several beautiful airborne special operations, the Heidel Empire also thought about expanding the strength of their trump card, the Airship Legion.

As part of the enhancement of air-to-ground combat, the Sky Knight is a very attractive direction. And from a technical and tactical point of view, the various improvements and changes after joining the Air Knight are not difficult to achieve.

The only difficulty is that the Air Knights, as the old enemies of the Haider Empire and the ace of the Karlsruhe Empire, these airship legions with official status, they can't recruit people even if they want to.

Airships are still being built outside of the Haider Empire. But the Sky Knight really doesn't produce outside of the Karlsruhe Empire. Occasionally, they are all children of the nobility who go out to practice, and there is no such empty knight with no identity background.

And these young people with the inheritance of air knight combat skills would rather stay on the ground as infantry than serve as airborne troops in the airships of the Shanghai Del Empire. This stubborn character also makes many veterans speechless.
