51: Long-range reconnaissance

At the end of the battle, the Knights effortlessly captured the Occult stronghold.

Evelyn stepped up to the top of the stronghold with the captains of the knight squads and looked around.

"Something is wrong." Evelyn frowned, "The battle didn't attract reinforcements from the vicinity, and the grassland was a little frighteningly quiet. ”

For the imaginary enemy reinforcements, they were well prepared, so they sent half of the knight squad to participate in the battle in one go.

If the enemy is so vulnerable, it seems that they are overprepared.

The captains of the squad smiled beside them: "It's just to be able to successfully complete the battle, we only dispatched so many teams this time, aren't we?" ”

"If this level of combat is not satisfactory to you, let's immediately set off for the Linfeng Hills, where the stronghold will be more defensive."

"Our men didn't use much physical strength in this battle and can go at any time."

"Nope." Evelyn shook her head and said, "You guys stay here for now, don't move around for a while." ”

The captains wondered, "Why is this, didn't you say that you want to fight a quick attack?" The Linfeng Hills are not close to here. ”

"If you don't set off now, I'm afraid you won't be able to break through the Linfeng Hills tomorrow."

"You believe in me." Faced with the questions of several captains, Evelyn's eyes flashed, and she said in a deep voice.

"I've already asked the White Raven to go to the Linfeng Hills to reconnoitre, and we'll make plans when she brings back the information over there."

……

High in the air, Yuna's four acceleration circles were fully opened, and she rushed towards the distant stronghold of Linfeng Hills at full speed.

Nolan accesses her first-person perspective in Soul Link and scouts with her for the movements of enemy forces on the grasslands.

After the meeting that day, Evelyn talked to him alone for a while, and he also learned about the problem of ghosts in the army.

If the premise is that there are ghosts in the conference room, the steppe people should already know the plan for a quick offensive on the Eastern Front.

So, at this time they will make two choices:

1. They are reluctant to cede the trade route to Peak City, so they will send more reinforcements to strengthen the defenses of these two strongholds.

2. They believed that the Knights were going to fight on the Eastern Front, and this was a great opportunity for the city to be empty of troops and a sneak attack.

With this option, they would withdraw their large forces from the Eastern Front, regroup on the Western Front and launch an offensive to capture the city of Peak in one fell swoop.

And the weak defense of the Occultation Village seems to confirm that the steppe people have now made the second choice.

However, this battle alone does not fully confirm the actions of the steppe people, what if their army is ambushed in the hills that lie behind?

At this time, it is necessary for the white crow to take action.

Thanks to the winged thrusters, she now has the ability to run quickly for long periods of time on the battlefield.

Even if the Linfeng Hill is 100 kilometers away from the Occult Village, with the mobility of the existing first aircraft, it can still reach the destination within an hour.

And in this battle, the magic power reserved by the first machine was enough to support her to travel hundreds of kilometers round trip.

Among them, the flying wing thruster comes with two magic power sources, and the quality of the magic crystal carried by the jetpack is also higher.

The quality of the Magic Crystal is also divided into grades, and the color of the Magic Crystal will also change from light to dark depending on the amount of magic contained in the unit volume.

According to the color, the magic crystal is divided into six qualities: azure blue, dark blue, dark green, orange yellow, vermilion, and purple red.

The magic crystals that can be bought on the market are basically blue and dark blue.

The earliest duelist arm guards he made, due to budget reasons, used blue-level magic crystals, and the size of the magic source was relatively small, and the magic power would be exhausted if he used two second-order spells.

If you want a higher quality magic crystal, the price is of course more expensive, and at the same time, you must have your own purchase channel.

When it reaches the dark green level or above, it is the quality of the control level and the military level, and they are generally controlled by the imperial military or some big forces, and they are not easy to obtain.

Like the magic crystal he used Harrison's channel to buy before, it was dark green, which was also the highest quality magic crystal he could get at that time.

The first machine was originally equipped with a dark green level magic power source, is it in actual use...... It can only be said that it is enough magic power for Yuna to attack once.

And now it's different, since Evelyn promised that the City Lord's Mansion would help him in the research and development of his equipment, last time Luo Zhen not only brought the materials for the production of the spiritual pathway, but also gave him a batch of military-grade orange and yellow magic crystals!

This is the same quality as the magic crystal placed on the city wall to provide energy for the city's defense magic cannon!

So in this sortie, Nolan replaced Yuna's Flying Wing Thruster, Flying Master Backpack, and Wizard Gun with orange-yellow magic crystals.

Thanks to this, even if the current No. 1 machine flies back and forth on the grassland, its magic power will not be easily exhausted.

Without the magic anxiety, the current white raven is the real overlord of the sky who can fly freely in the sky!

Flying all the way, Yuna was not hindered in any way.

She had a clear view of the situation on the prairie, and at the same time, the doubts in her and Nolan's hearts grew.

This place has penetrated into the sphere of influence of the steppe troops, and it stands to reason that the frequency of the enemy should be increasing.

But this is not the case, for a long time, she did not even find a fully formed steppe army below!

It's like...... The steppes withdrew all their forces from the Eastern Front.

There must be a demon when things go wrong, Nolan's heart became more and more uneasy, he took a deep breath and said, "Don't guess, we will find out the answer soon." ”

The stronghold of the Peaks Hills has appeared in Yuna's field of vision, and it is the most important level related to the ownership of the Ringmont City's trade routes.

According to the estimation of the staff officers in the army, this stronghold should be guarded by at least two seventh-order powerhouses of the steppe people, and there are countless reinforcements wandering and guarding on the side.

Yuna lowered her altitude and swooped down towards the stronghold of the Rim Hills, finally stopping at a height of only thirty meters above the ground.

"There's no one around the stronghold, there's no one on the watchtower, and there's no one in the stronghold." She glanced around and quickly reported, "This place is completely empty. ”

"I see it." Nolan took a deep breath, "Did they all evacuate...... Let's go back, Yuna, it should be too late to go back now. ”

Temporarily cut off contact with Yuna, Nolan took off the Black Raven mask and jumped out of the carriage to find Evelyn standing high above the colony.

Seeing Noren walking briskly, her eyes lit up: "The white raven has a message?" ”

"Hmm." Nolan nodded and said in a deep voice, "Don't go to Linfeng Hills, we have to go back to the city immediately." ”
