Chapter 49: Strategic Deployment Phase

Following.

The East Wing of the Secret Whisper Plaza, the Magic Products Warehouse of the Ever-Changing Chemical Workshop.

In a sprawling warehouse of the Ever-Changing Workshop family, this space is large enough for several airships to be parked side by side, making it look unusually empty and spacious.

The shelves that once housed countless treasures had now been completely emptied, and only on the ground in the center, a huge dragon genus alone occupied all the focus of attention.

The metal plate on the Flange Elite Dragon named [Wind Breaking Silver] reflects an icy luster in the light, giving it a cold and extraordinary beauty.

Dragons are covered with steam-powered pipes, and these intricate silver pipes are like the blood of life, precisely controlling the flow of steam.

At this moment, the steam in the pipeline will show a pulsating light, and the escaping steam is like a vigorous vitality, giving it an incomparable and strange beauty; Power lines run through the wings and limbs, allowing them to display incredible agility and strength in both flight and ground action; Especially in the wings, the sophisticated steam control system allows [Breaking Wind Silver] to perform a variety of complex maneuvers in the air, from sharp dives to high-speed turns.

In the dim light of the warehouse, Captain Rene Guinomer was particularly focused.

He wears a close-fitting pilot's suit, the surface of which is covered with fine tubes and connectors, designed to interface perfectly with the dragon's steam power system.

Rene carried a tube of liquid that glowed blue - [Dragonlord's Blood].

He carefully opened the maintenance hatch on the side of the dragon, revealing the intricate pipes and interfaces inside.

Click-

[Docked completed——]

Rene began to pour [Dragonking's Blood] into it slowly but precisely, the sound of liquid flowing echoed through the quiet space.

As the buffer was injected, the core steam generator located in the dragon's abdomen began to vibrate slightly, as if an excited heart was gradually awakening, indicating that it was about to burst out of power.

Buzz Buzz –

As the buffer was injected, the steam generator in the dragon's body began to vibrate slightly, emitting a low grunt, as if a giant beast was slowly waking up. The plug is tightly connected to the dragon's spinal cord, forming a direct neural connection between the pilot and the dragon through a series of complex interfaces.

With the final commissioning of the system, the indicators on the interface control unit begin to flash, showing key data such as current energy levels, vapor pressure, flight altitude and speed. As soon as the captain put on his helmet, a series of virtual displays appeared in his field of vision, providing an advanced navigation and control system similar to that of a fighter jet.

【……】

The dragon's limbs and wings moved slightly according to the captain's mental commands, showing unprecedented mobility and responsiveness.

With Rene's precise control, steam flowed through the pipes, and the dragon's limbs and wings made slight mechanical movements, as if they were warming up, ready to spread their wings and fly.

After completing the injection procedure, he double-checked the connections to the plug and the steam-powered line. After confirming that everything was in order, Captain Rene deftly jumped off the dragon's back, landing lightly and silently.

In front of him, the spokesman and patriarch of the Workshop family stood silently, and behind them was the dark warehouse space, giving people an unfathomable feeling.

Next to them, the Authority's Operator, Kyaukyue Rabbit, was standing straight, watching the Captain slowly walk this way.

"The Dragons have been deployed, everything is ready, now let me see the efficiency of the Authority's spy system and intelligence agencies." The Captain stood in front of the three of them, then ignored the members of the Workshop family and looked straight in the direction of the Bright Moon Rabbit

continued.

Obviously, the Captain believed that of all those present, only the Bright Moon Rabbit, representing the Authority, was qualified to speak to him.

"According to our intelligence gathering and think tank analysis, the White Dragon Army now stationed in the Secret Whisper Square has formed a terrifying air force." The beautiful face of the Bright Moon Rabbit was full of seriousness.

"The White Dragon Army uses a super-sized white dragon with a body length of more than 80 feet and a wingspan of perhaps more than 120 feet as a strategic weapon, which has a huge size and unparalleled strength. Next are the four strategic pillar white dragons, each with a body length of more than 60 feet and a wingspan of perhaps more than 100 feet."

"The fighter group is led by 3 adult white dragons, under the jurisdiction of 4 squadrons, each squadron has 6 juvenile to adult white dragons, a total of 72 white dragons, their maneuverability and speed in the air provide the White Dragon Army with the ability to strike quickly.

The bomber group is also led by three adult white dragons, and has three squadrons of five white dragons in each squadron, a total of 45 dragons, and this part of the force is mainly responsible for carrying out large-scale destruction and attacks."

"The reconnaissance aircraft group is led by 2 adult white dragons, and has 4 squadrons, each squadron has 4 juvenile white dragons, a total of 32 dragons, mainly responsible for reconnaissance and intelligence gathering.

In addition, we also found a logistics support group and special operations units, including 10 adult size white dragons as logistics support, 20 juvenile size white dragons for specific missions, and an airborne commando team composed of 10 young white dragons."

"In total, the size of the White Dragon Army has reached 155 white dragons, including one oversized white dragon, about 49 adult white dragons, about 82 juvenile white dragons, and 20 juvenile white dragons. This force has an overwhelming superiority in air combat, and we need you as the main force of area denial to intercept most of the White Dragons for the Authority."

After the Bright Moon Rabbit gave a detailed report on the size and distribution of the White Dragon Army, and after listening to the clear and systematic analysis of the Authority's intelligence agency, the corners of Mira and Erwin's eyes twitched involuntarily a few times, and they looked at each other in silence, their expressions revealing deep worry.

Their eyes met, full of mixed emotions, surprised, worried, unexpected......

The security situation in Whisper Square was obviously much more complicated than they expected.

Such a large scale of dragons lurking in the square was somewhat beyond their heart's prediction of the Dragon's Breath Alchemy Workshop.

They estimated that the Dragon Breath Alchemy Workshop should be able to provide a hundred white dragons, which was their strategic estimate of the worst-case scenario.

Now, according to the information reported by the Authority's intelligence agencies, they were not bold enough to estimate that the water inside the Dragon's Breath Alchemy Workshop was much deeper than they had imagined.

If ordinary people want to capture the Secret Whisper Square, this huge White Dragon Army is enough for them to drink a pot.

But it's useless to regret it now, after all, they have already brought the dragon slayer alliance formed by the Authority and the Fran New World Dragoons to the inside of the Secret Whisper Square.

And it is also necessary to mention the aftermath of the 1.15 conflict.

After a fierce clash on the northern wing of the Whisper Square on January 15, the families jointly issued a new policy decision on Midwinter Day, aimed at controlling foreign trade and reducing the influence of outside forces.

The families of the Whisper Square have decided to adopt a lockdown policy, severely restricting the contact and trade between the residents of the hub area and the people of the present world.

As a direct consequence of this lockdown policy, from January 16th, all eight gates will be completely closed to the flow of people, and any attempt to break this policy will face a joint attack from all residents of Whisper Square.

The dragon genus brought by the current captain was brought in by the Ever-Changing Chemical Workshop family yesterday at the risk of being attacked together, and what they brought in was not just as simple as a dragon.

If the 1.15 conflict at that time had spread further, the other families would have found a big surprise.

Unfortunately, the other families underestimated the boldness of the ever-changing mill family and the determination and courage of the Authority.

They just wanted to borrow the 1.15 conflict before Midwinter

As a prelude to the forced palace on Midwinter Night, they had no intention of further conflict, so when the ever-changing chemical workshop family showed a fierce attitude of not fearing death, the alliance of the three clans chose to leave decisively.

Throughout the decision-making of the Whisper Square and their family, every step of their way is with their own rhythm and efficiency.

January 3rd, the day when the Fourth Sword Bearer of Heaven announced that he would officially enter the Authority, set up a city council, and announced that he would take full control of Hell's Kitchen and the surrounding hubs.

In everyone's observation and perception, Hugh Abraham was a bit rushed.

When the new official took office, he thought about setting three fires, and it would take him at least half a year to sort out Hell's Kitchen and the surrounding hubs.

Even if he is the [Crowner], he must abide by the rules of the Ivy League War, and if an individual power tries to touch the pivotal power, it will invite a full-fledged backlash.

Just like all the forces in the current Whisper Square have rebounded in an all-round way.

When Hugh Abraham announced that he was going to take over the first hub, the Whisper Square, they reacted quickly, cutting off the business of the present world, and fully retreating into the hub.

And all kinds of beatings on the ever-changing chemical workshop families that may be infiltrated, and even ready to drive them away on a midwinter night.

Judging from the timeline, since the Bureau released the danger signal on January 3rd, all forces in the Whisper Square have been vigilant.

They even decided to start closing the Nexus on today's midwinter night, the night of January 16th, to become a shrunken turtle for good.

It took them less than half a month to get to this point, which is ridiculously efficient for any pivotal force.

It's just that even if they do such an outrageous step, they are still one step behind, underestimating the determination and courage of the Authority, and they will take the Secret Whisper Square in less than half a month.

At this moment.

After the captain listened to the detailed report of the Bright Moon Rabbit about the White Dragon Army, his eyes behind the mask flashed with an indescribable light.

He pondered for a moment, then spoke, with an irrepressible heat in his tone:

"What is the level of intelligence of these white dragons?"

"Their intelligence is almost like that of beasts. The maturation ritual employed by the gnomes is quite peculiar, sacrificing the wisdom of dragons in exchange for the rapid growth of their bodies. During ripening, they can only master a maximum of 1 or 3 constant thaumaturgies. Moreover, there is a very terrible risk of backlash and loss of control from these ripening dragons." Bright Moon Rabbit's answer was direct and candid.

The captain's mind began to quickly analyze and evaluate this information.

According to Flange's current research on the five-colored dragon under the [Dragon God System],

Adult white dragons, they have a body length of between 40 and 50 feet and a wingspan of between 60 and 80 feet.

Juvenile white dragons, with a body length of between 15 and 25 feet, and a wingspan of usually between 20 and 40 feet.

These white dragons, while intellectually close to beasts, their sheer size and inherent constant thaumaturgy make them a force to be reckoned with on the battlefield.

At the same time, the lack of intelligence also means unpredictability on the battlefield, which is a double-edged sword for tactical deployments, but a huge advantage for Captain Rene of the Flange lineage.

However, their number is indeed large, although they are Elite Dragon + Juggernaut + Flange Capsule Dragon Air Defense Missile System deployed in advance......

The Captain stood beside the dragon, his gaze through the shadows of the warehouse, immersed in his own thoughts.

His mind was like a sophisticated machine, constantly analyzing the situation in front of him, and despite facing a huge number of white dragon troops, his mind was extremely calm.

He knew that although these white dragons lacked intelligence, they still possessed the great strength and innate abilities of the dragon race.

This undoubtedly increases the uncertainty and danger of the battle.

However, it was this uncertainty that sparked his instinct as a dragon slayer – how to kill more dragons quickly and efficiently!

He began to think about how to make use of what he had

resources and advantages to develop a perfect tactical plan.

They have elite dragon troops, which are their main combat power; There is also a [Juggernaut], whose abilities can be decisive on the battlefield; In addition, the Flange Capsule Dragon anti-aircraft missile system was deployed, which is an important means of their defense against air attacks.

These were their advantages, but how to maximize these advantages and effectively deal with the huge number of White Dragon Army was a problem he needed to consider carefully.

He needs a more clever tactic to increase his chances of victory and implement area denial.

Area denial is a military tactic designed to prevent an adversary from entering, passing through, or controlling a particular area or territory, whether through a direct threat of force, a physical barrier, or psychological deterrence.

In the Air Force, area denial strategies are primarily achieved through the establishment of no-fly zones or air defense identification zones, with the aim of preventing enemy aircraft from entering specific airspace, thereby protecting critical geographical locations and strategic assets.

At this moment, the captain has already begun to plan how to use the surrounding environment and existing technology to build this line of defense.

First of all, the captain took into account the arrangement of the Flanged Capsule Dragon anti-aircraft missile system.

This system is not only capable of providing effective air interdiction, but also inflicts a serious blow on intruders, buying valuable time and space for ground forces.

He plans to set up these missile systems at key nodes to form an interception network that minimizes the threat from the air.

Secondly, there is the equipment of the Authority......
