Although among all the flights that have taken off so far, the 'higher biological attack' has also occurred this time;

But it was a wake-up call for Nesta, reaffirming the fact that this is a world where there is no peace on land, sea and air, and the safety measures for high-altitude flights must be increased again.

Of course, judging by the number of attacks, high altitude did not become a no-go flight zone ....

That is to say, whether it is from the perspective of efficiency or safety, this rescue operation still has to start from the airship, after all, it is impossible to waste food due to choking.

As a result, the Military Commission took the lead in setting up a 'rescue committee' and took over the emergency response to the emergency, and the first message it sent back to the fall site began with three meanings;

First, Cynthia was officially appointed as the supreme commander of the front, giving him unified authority over the place of falling;

second, to urge Cynthia to confirm her exposure and report it in a timely manner when there is tangible information;

Third, she was instructed to ensure the safety of her compatriots at the scene as much as possible, and to carry out the evacuation instructions of the headquarters according to the follow-up situation.

At the same time, the committee issued a requisition order to three escort airships and a large transport boat of the same type as the shipwrecked boat, ordering them to immediately prepare for lift-off and then fly as soon as possible to the mainland base station closest to the landing point of the escape pod, so that the victims can be brought back in time.

After receiving the first report from Cynthia's side, the department's response was roughly the same.....

In the future, the side is even preparing to make follow-up discussions on 'high-altitude flight safety' and start to develop new escort guidelines.

However, only about 20 lights had passed, and the second communication link added to the falling point in front of it had arrived, causing an uproar at the top of the headquarters.....

According to Cynthia's report, City 034 not only witnessed the entire process of the fall of the escape pod, but also because the fall trajectory crossed the perception circle of its ancestral altar, they had the actual situation of the life reaction in the escape pod, and it was even very likely that it was accurate to the number of occupants, the description of the appearance of the body, and the strength of life.

For the Republic, this was the first time they had faced such a situation, and they had to start thinking about a series of problems that they might have to face if they were exposed.....

】

It is true that due to factors such as race base value and technology value, they have a huge sense of psychological superiority in the face of the north;

However, the huge and incomparable population advantage of the mainland has always been like a heavy stone hanging over the head and in a state of imminent decline;

And now, it looks like the stone is about to fall to their chests? What will be the consequences.....

The current state of the Rune Council and the ruling government may be an exaggeration, but it is by no means an exaggeration, but it is by no means an exaggeration, but the military is sharpening its knives and showing a great desire to attack.

However, the military's plan is unlikely to be realized in a short period of time, because even if 'exposure' cannot be avoided, 'going to war' is by no means an inevitable option;

Whether at sea or on land, the Black Forest is separated from the continent by a long natural defence that has traditionally been impenetrable, and for a not-so-short period of time, the hostility of the continent cannot be projected on it.

Moreover, the other path offered by Cynthia - to immediately mobilize forces to eliminate witnesses - does not seem to be impossible to carry out.

"The fall was witnessed, and the life reaction was undoubtedly exposed... What do you guys think? Do you need to mobilize forces to actively erase the traces, as Major Cynthia said? ”

Nesta placed the papers on the table and looked up at the rest of the inner circle around him.

"I don't think it's necessary."

The rough-toothed witch doctor, who was temporarily withdrawn from the retreat, was the first to express his opinion, and then attached his own reasons for holding that view.

"According to the available information, Double King 034 is only aware of the reaction of life in the cabin, and even if they can determine what kind of creature is inside, they will not be able to understand what kind of thing the escape pod is, let alone the existence of the air airship;"

"Acting rashly in this situation is likely to expose our existence more and faster."

The thick-toothed 'old opposition' shook his head, indicating that he disagreed with the former's views, and then spoke,

"The escape pod has been witnessed, but for us, it doesn't matter if 034 Chengming doesn't understand where it comes from or what kind of creature it is inside, what we should care about is the association ...... that will be generated later."

"They may realize that there is a species in this world, a species that can fly in the sky with tools."

"Guys, that's 59 individual beings, and they're still lives of our size; It is not easy to send them into the sky without wings....."

"So, when this news is sent to the Menghu Royal City, to the headquarters of the Lai Yin Emirate, and to the Blood Royal Court of the Fanged Race, what will they think of this issue? Will these overlords of northern civilization be surprised by this and turn their eyes to the sky? ”

Fang's statement undoubtedly convinced some of the participants, but some still disagreed.

"It doesn't hurt if your eyes are directed into the air, 30,000 meters in the air is not a field that any northern civilization can reach at the moment, and we can fly higher, 30,000 meters is not enough, 50,000 meters, no matter how bad it is, 60,000 or 70,000 meters, it is impossible for the barbarians to really discover us."

"And what about mainland base stations? No matter how high the airship flies, there is always a need to fall, and now that the mainland base station can remain hidden, no force has really noticed their existence for the time being; ”

"But when they really look up at the sky, how long can the trail of those airships be hidden? When the hundreds of millions of intelligent creatures in the Northern Continent all look up at the sky, we will definitely be exposed faster than we imagined. ”

"It doesn't matter if the airship is airship, but will the mainland base station be able to keep it then?"

"Yes, there are low-altitude cavalry on the side of the Yin Species, and although the winged civilization race is rare, it is not non-existent, once these forces that can fly in the low-altitude and medium-altitude domains have the idea of 'the enemy comes from the sky'....."

"Indeed, in the case of consciousness .... It's hard to hide from them. ”

In the course of the discussions, there was a clear shift in the views of the participants, with the 'doers' in favor of Cynthia quickly becoming the majority.

And Nista, on the other hand, also made a statement after seeing that the opinions of the members were basically unified,

"The general direction can be according to the Cynthia plan, but at the implementation level, it still needs to pay attention to the strategy....."

"What does the speaker mean?"

"Well, of course it's not a micro-like 'muzzle up a centimeter...."

After telling a bad joke that no one could understand, he continued

"The operation can be acted, but we must do further cover-up, we can't leave traces of civilization on the scene, and it is best to cover up this operation as a demonic beast attacking the city."

"How far is the Double Kings 034 ..... from what they call the 'southern wall of the continent'?"

"The nearest is 2,500 kilometers." A witch doctor replied.

"That's too far away, it's not appropriate.... Are there any other wilderness areas in the vicinity that seem suitable for the survival of horde monsters? ”

"Yes, yes, yes.... For example, the location of the four nearest continental base stations around it is a wilderness full of demonic beasts. ”

"Well, what about the other four? If you can't attract your attention to the mainland base station, then you will lose a lot because of a small one. ”

"Yes, and there are two, one of which is more than 600 kilometers south of the country and is a poison gas swamp environment, and the other is 700 kilometers away in the northeast and is a highland forest environment, both of which are habitats for the Warcraft population.... But it's also our next base station launch target. ”

"I understand, let's put the base station first...."

Nesta turned his head, and the communications executive on the other side commanded,

"Issued a document on the mainland base station, and then transferred it to Cincia, and awarded it the temporary position of 'commander-in-chief of the nine base stations on site and in the surrounding areas';"

"Let her concentrate on blocking the internal and external traffic for the time being, and don't worry about the rest of the things yet..... The strength that the nine base stations can support is still too weak, and in addition to the more than 4,000 Mengqi species in the inner city, Shuangwang 034 has more than 30,000 shelterers; ”

"Ha, it takes time to solve 30,000 tied animals, not to mention 30,000 lives that can escape and resist?"

Picking up a strand of purple hair that accidentally fell to the corners of his mouth, Nesta continued,

"Post a message to tell her, put away your pride, avoid carelessness, pay attention to safety, as for the offensive thing.... Just wait for the follow-up forces of the headquarters to arrive before deploying. ”

"In addition, let her control her subordinates to complete the attack with the wind blade as much as possible, and no longer need to deliberately destroy the corpses, just remember the area where the armor left footprints, and clean up when the follow-up forces arrive."

"Understood!"

After the executive hurriedly left, Nesta said to everyone involved in the discussion again,

"Ladies and gentlemen, it seems that it is time for our wind wolves to expand their territory......"

"It's extreme...."

"Very good, gather the wolves, prepare the airship, and prepare the cave wolf crystal."

"Understood!"

~~~~~~~

Now, Nesta and Azshara have de facto replaced the cave wolves as the true lords of the wolves, and he is almost the same among the wolves as he is by no means a dictator in the republic;

And as time goes by, even the twelve wolf kings in the border area, who have always maintained two irrelevance, have slowly and reluctantly become 'listening to tunes and not listening to announcements'.

Therefore, while Azhara is still in retreat, it is inevitable that the gathering order of the wolves will be completed by Nesta himself.

I saw him climb to the top of the No. 1 mother tree, step on a huge leaf, and then transform into a giant wolf, and let out a long howl in the sky.

"Woohoo!

”

"Woohoo!

！ ”

Its voice carried information, driven by amplification magic, and spread far from the headquarters to the surrounding area, and then a voice from the depths of the forest in the four directions responded;

As the second wolf pack in terms of population strength, it turned the Black Forest into a sea of wolf howls in an instant.....

After that, in an area of millions of square kilometers, a lord wolf led the wolves under his command and began to approach in the direction of the headquarters.

After only a light hour passed, nearly four thousand large and small wind wolves, panting, rushed to the place designated by the order;

And most of the members of the dozen or so wolf packs closest to the headquarters are advanced wolf species cultivated by the No. 2 and No. 3 mother trees in these years, and almost all of their members are lord-level and wind-wolf-level, and there is no wind wolf and ordinary mortal wolf at all;

Subsequently, the resisting wolves were inspected by the 'king' and received orders for 'external expansion'.....

By the time everything was ready on Nesta's side, the airship base next door had completed its final business before liftoff.....

In order to rush to the north this time, the headquarters has prepared 60 large transport airboats, 25 escort airboats, and 1 special transport airboat;

The inert gas in their respective airbags is not yet full, and will be injected before take-off later, they naturally have the ability to generate inert gas independently, but because the speed is far less fast than the base replenishment, so the self-produced capacity is more used for lifting and adjusting after liftoff.

At this time, the airships were being pulled by ropes and arranged on the ground, and the hatches were wide open to welcome the crew.

When Nesta arrived with the wolves, the rest of the elven team that had been tasked with the mission had already arrived;

In terms of the number of troops dispatched, this was a 'luxurious' expedition.....

300 lord wolves, 1,500 wind wolves, and 1,200 wind wolves, they are responsible for carrying the blame and expanding the territory;

Five hundred elven warriors, armed with combat armor, are undoubtedly the main force of the battle, and their respective armor is maintained in the form of a 'backpack' and is carried around only when they reach their destination;

The mere existence of these forces is not actually 'luxury'..... But the subsequent entry of 130 witch doctors is definitely an unprecedented move.

The reason why so many witch doctors are arranged is naturally to facilitate the scene of counterfeiting, as well as to activate the Cave Wolf Demon Crystal more conveniently.

After all the participants arrived, the wolves first got into the large transport boat in the guide, and most of its members looked a little trembling due to the large size of the airbags, but at the urging of the lord-level leaders, they obediently got on the boat with their tails between their legs.

After that, five hundred elven warriors also entered the transport ship with armor;

In addition, 80 first-order witch doctors entered the large transport ship, and the other 50 second-order, and even the third order, Nesta, carried the cave wolf crystal into the special transport ship;

The reason why Nesta accompanied him was not because he distrusted the rest of the participants, but because of his relatively large size, combined with the magic crystal of the cave wolf, the subsequent 'fake' would be more convincing.

There was no crew on the side of the escort boat, mainly because the space of the gondola was almost occupied by offensive weapons, so there was basically no room for carrying passengers, except for a very small amount of space that could be used to carry the operator.

It took about half a light for the mission participants to carry and the flight preparations were completed during this time, so as soon as the hatches were closed, the aircraft group entered the liftoff phase.

The inert gas with the bulging airbag, together with the large hanging basket that is fully loaded below and placed in the back half of the airbag close to the bottom of the airbag, gradually hangs in the air....

Subsequently, under the command of ground crew, a total of 86 airships of 3 types were lifted into the air in an orderly manner;

'Boom, boom! ’

When a certain altitude is reached, gas begins to be generated and ignited in the power compartment located in the tail.

The high-heat and high-pressure gas enters the conversion chamber, compresses the turbine blades in it and rotates at high speed, and the main shaft in the center drives the huge propeller blades at the tail to rotate, so that the airboat has the powerful power required to move forward in addition to the lift brought by the air pressure difference.

After that, the fleet of airships gradually formed formations according to their respective tasks.....

Among them, there are combat boats that are guarded from all sides, there are transport boats that are surrounded in the center, and there are "special transport boats" called "transports" that actually have the strongest firepower and are at the forefront of the way;

At this time, the airship fleet finally began to rise rapidly..... 5,000 meters, 10,000 meters, 20,000 meters, 30,000 meters;

This trip will be 50,000 meters into the air, the planned speed is 220 km/dh, and it is expected to reach the destination at a distance of nearly 5,000 kilometers from the ground after about 27 light hours.....

~~~~~~

Escape pod crash site, 6:03 a.m.;

"How long will it take to ruin this thing?" Cynthia asked for some reason.

"Don't rush! It's going to be right away! Agatha, who had already joined the maintenance team, responded impatiently and complained at the same time, "Since it is a program used to self-destruct in times of urgency, shouldn't it be designed to be more stable?" Actually made us toss for so long. ”

"Alright, little Agatha, it's almost there, isn't it? There are only a few points left....", an engineer relieved in the five-meter-high maintenance armor.

"Hmph, who let that guy keep urging me.... Hate to die. ”

"Haha, Major Cynthia is just in a hurry, don't be angry."

"I didn't get angry! I never stopped! ”

"Okay, good~ Agatha is not angry...."

While several repairers were still repairing the totem, Cynthia's ears heard the voice of the outer sentinels,

'Sir, 7 life reactions have been observed in the northwest, but they seem to be our compatriots..... Will I be allowed to arraign? ’

'Huh? Let me come, the support from the base station should arrive, and you continue to be vigilant. ’

'Understood! ’

As Cynthia answered the sentinel's question, the 'braids' on the back of her head also synchronously burrowed into the 'rucksack', activating one of the few functions of the armor that could also work in this form at the moment, and after a period of delay had passed, the information explored was transmitted from the external nerve to her mind.

'Seven elves, indeed, judging by time... It should be the support of the base station 320 kilometers to the northwest. ’

After the initial identification of the other party, a signal carrying information was sent instead of a pure detection.....

'This is Major Cynthia, the person in charge of the falling point, please identify yourself after identification, repeat, here .....'

'Hello Sir Cynthia, this is Second Lieutenant Alekstad, the chief of the *** base station guard, and the base station identification code *****. ’

Please stop where you are and wait, the encoded message is being verified. ’

'Understood. ’

"Agatha!"

"What's the matter? It was fixed in no time! ”

"What is the identification code of the *** base station?"

"What a fool... You come with your ears. ”

"Oh~"

Agatha leaned into the ear of the 'fool' and said a string of numbers, and then, after the latter thanked him, he continued to work with the words 'what's going on, mother'.

Cynthia, on the other hand, finally replied that she was allowed to approach after confirming the identity of the other party......

As a result, the supporters, who had stopped five kilometers away, activated again, and soon appeared in sight of the crash site;

There is no doubt that there are 7 combat armors, and because they are in daylight cruise mode, most of their cockpit is only covered by a transparent resin layer, which makes everyone at the fall point see clearly the body belonging to the elves inside....

Deep behind enemy lines .... In fact, for the vast majority of compatriots present, it is already a commonplace and the norm in the task, but as a civilized life of socialized survival, it is naturally a happy thing to have more compatriots around;

Therefore, when they really saw the body of the elf who came, the body of the elf that shimmered with purple light even through the resin layer, there was immediately a low cheer on the scene.

Not long after that, the distance between the two sides quickly shrank to 'tens of meters', and the armored cockpit of the comer was also separated from the middle;

Afterwards, the warriors on both wings raised their arms in salute, but in the middle of the platform jumped out a young warrior and walked briskly towards the side.

It is worth mentioning that the height of the elves is generally around 3.5 meters, while the height of the combat armor is more than six meters;

Therefore, the driver's head is not actually in the 'head' that is visible in the armor, but in a lower upper chest position.

On the one hand, this is to allow the driver's hands and feet to take into account the control of a part of the armored thighs, arms and other areas, so that all the instructions can be obtained from the plexus;

On the other hand, it is also to be able to guide some of the attacks with lethal purposes to hit the theoretically more lethal 'head'.

As he approached, the second lieutenant stopped and saluted, and said,

"Captain Cynthia, fellow citizens! Alekstad is here to report! ”

"Good work."

The greetings did not begin, and after completing the necessary steps, Alekstad immediately took out the document from his bosom and handed it to Cynthia,

"This is the latest directive from the headquarters, please take over from the chief."

This unexpected 'instruction' really shocked the latter, and Cynthia was suspicious of the outcome document, and found that all its regulations were in line with the secret letter regulations of the mainland base station, and the seal belonging to the stationmaster on it was also intact, so she really believed that this was the real headquarters instruction.

Ignoring the explanation of the caerials of the base station on the southern continent, the morale of the people on the scene who learned about the situation on this side was a little higher......

"So, the headquarters is already aware of it, and the support of the base station will come faster than expected?"

"That's right, they should all be on the road at this time, and even the farthest base station garrison should be there within thirteen light hours."

"That's great."

Cynthia understood the basic situation, and after checking the seal and other conditions according to the procedure, she opened the command file, and then extracted two copies of communication messages marked with different times, and saw the order from the headquarters....

Especially in the second letter, the headquarters gave her the overall command of the 'victims of the fall point, the garrison of the nine base stations, and the investigators in the information jurisdiction', and ordered her to lead all the members of her command to cut off the internal and external traffic of Shuangwang 034;

In addition, matters such as 'the scene of falsification' and 'the arrival time of the headquarters support' are also indicated in the directive.....

This was all good news for Cynthia, as she no longer had to wonder what to do next, and whether her decisions would lead to a small loss of the Republic.

Relieved, the 'Plenipotentiary Commander of the Nine Base Stations', who had a little more peace of mind in his heart, immediately thanked Alekstad and asked,

"It's hard work, so Mr. Ensign, and the six soldiers behind you, do you need to rest?"

"Sir! We don't need to, we can execute orders at any time. ”

"Very good, Second Lieutenant Alekstad, with the authority granted by the headquarters, I officially order you to take your subordinates to the southeast and go to 034 to carry out the truncation mission, and I will go after the escape pod is destroyed!"

"Understood!"

The second lieutenant saluted, and then set off with the rest of the six fighters and ran to the southeast.....

After about fifteen minutes later, Agatha and the engineers finally repaired the self-destruct system of the escape pod and activated it at Cynthia's behest;

In the subsequent counting of lamps, all the totem patterns inside and outside, as well as most of the cabin structure, were completely destroyed, and only some special materials that were both fire-resistant and acid-resistant were temporarily retained, but they were also destroyed by Agatha herself later.....
