Despite the huge losses suffered in the Land of Despair, and the Coalition forces were almost completely annihilated, they persevered tenaciously in the end. Thanks to the blonde queen's unbeatable rescue methods, the main force of the surface fleet never fell into the hands of the enemy, and Jikrem, who was in charge of commanding the naval army, did not become the commander of the light pole.

The demon army from Dronsa had nothing more than a pile of barely patchwork planks, and after a head-on battle with the coalition fleet and being beaten to the ground, the bat's wings that fled back had no intention of going to sea. Jikrem was helpless, but he could not pull the enemy out of the heavily defended lair and beat him violently, so he could only lead a medium fleet under Francis's orders to carry out surveillance and reconnaissance missions near the Desperate Lands.

Despite having an advantage at sea, Jikerem did not dare to swagger and drive the fleet to the shoreline to "peek" at the enemy's activities. Those terrifying large sea monsters are not numerous, but they are very dangerous, and with the demon's ground forces, this coalition fleet will definitely not return. So in order to conduct safer reconnaissance, Francis assigned a surface aircraft carrier and many of its newly manufactured warplanes to Jikrem.

Angel was the leader of the pilots who flew the Big Bird, along with Debes and a group of Marines.

Despite the increasing role of aircraft carriers and warplanes in the war, Jikrem still habitually designated the flagship of the fleet as the Mangla, rather than the large iron plate of the sea that arrived in a hurry. In the bridge of the warship, which symbolizes the highest glory of the old Birea Empire's navy, the Admiral receives Angel and Dibes, who report to him.

"It's great to have the support of an aircraft carrier. These days, it doesn't feel like it's enough to rely on a few frigates (don't forget that these big birds actually take off and land vertically) for reconnaissance. Jikerem relaxed his brow slightly and sighed softly, "Then again, Angel is okay." After all, you are the pilot of a fighter plane, and in Dibes, who is in charge of supply in Teranmere, what are you going to do to make a fuss about running to the front line?

The blue-haired handsome guy who was named scratched his head a little embarrassedly and sneered: "Well, that's pretty much it." Angel and I made an appointment to get married at the end of the year, so ......"

After a few seconds of silence, Jikerem decisively turned his head to look at the adjutant beside him and said, "Maintain the lifeboats and communication equipment, and never let them malfunction in any way." ”

Several people around couldn't help but be puzzled for a while when they heard this, and the adjutant was even more puzzled: "Lord Admiral, of course. But. For what?"

"Because I want to make sure that I can always ask for help from headquarters and run away. Jikerem kept his face extremely calm and pointed at the embarrassed Dibes and said, "I don't want to be involved in this guy who has put up the death flag." ”

The officers and soldiers in the bridge couldn't help but spray wildly on the spot, and many even rolled directly to the ground.

"Your Excellency. You can't do that. The adjutant burst into tears, snorting and tearing his face and said, "We are all counting on you to pick up the discipline that Her Majesty the Queen and the Commander lost during the large-scale battle, and now that even you yourself have begun to show off the lower limit, where will you put the face of the Birea Imperial Army?"

"You have a very competent adjutant. Dibis wiped the cold sweat from his head and looked at Jikerem and said seriously.

Jikerem pouted without a trace. raised his hand and waved at the two people in front of him casually: "It doesn't matter what happens to this kind of thing." Let's go back to the aircraft carrier and settle down. The reconnaissance mission is scheduled to begin tomorrow. ”

The two men saluted Jikerem in unison and left the bridge.

Clearly, Francis doesn't intend to use a brutal "flesh detective" approach to probe the devil's movements in the Land of Despair, but he leaves the choice to his best friend. No one would ever put a valuable aircraft carrier into a reconnaissance fleet, and a large number of warplanes and the Marines brought by Debes would have no problem conquering an island, but Jikrem was facing an entire continent, and he could not and did not need to attack the enemy on his own initiative, so was Francis allocating so many troops to him just for show?

The commander-in-chief of the coalition forces was obviously a little impatient, but the top of the alliance was even more impatient. The demons from Delon Shah have been in the Land of Despair for more than a month. There was no prospect of attacking at all, and the mainland was terrifyingly quiet. To make matters worse, no one knows what these batwing are doing. Completely black-eyed. Everyone was desperate to find out the enemy's information, but it was not an easy task at the moment.

Sending large numbers of troops to the land of despair for mortal reconnaissance was the only viable way, but Francis, as commander-in-chief, could not give such an order, he needed someone willing to take the infamy on his own initiative.

Naturally, Jikrem understood Francis's intentions, and he also knew that this must be a decision made by the other party to hide from Alicia. However, there was no further hesitation for now, and the Admiral planned to start the operation tomorrow - as for Angel and Dibes, it would be better to find a way to keep them on the ship.

It's just that God didn't mean to make Jikerem infamous in the slightest, and his "meat detective" plan was never executed.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the sea was very quiet, the battleship swayed slightly, and the temperature created by the indoor air conditioning was so pleasant that it almost made people doze off. Sitting on the bridge, Jikerem wanted to leave the work to the adjutant and go back to his room for a nap, but the location of the fleet was relatively close to the desperate place, and he didn't dare to be too careless.

Jikrem's caution proved to be quite correct, and just as he was about to be captured by the Dream Demon, a shout woke him up from his lethargy.

"There has been a large-scale movement in the direction of the Land of Despair, and the demon has moved!"

After slapping his cheek hard to make himself completely sober, Jikerem sat up straight and asked, "What's going on?"

"Lord Admiral, the fighter plane that is conducting routine reconnaissance has sent a contact. It is said that the demon's forces are gathering near the coast, and the flying octopus has also appeared, and the other party is likely to carry out some action. ”

The adjutant who seemed to be lying on the table next to him just now and looking at the charts hurriedly walked to Jikrem's side and said, "My lord." Could it be that the enemy is planning to load the troops with the Flying Octopus and then attack? This is also crazy, their navy is simply unable to defeat the coalition fleet head-on, and it is completely suicidal to do so. ”

"There's definitely something weird in there. Jikerem stroked his chin and muttered lightly, "I don't think that the other party will run out to give someone their head after more than a month of silence, they definitely have some kind of plan." Order the aircraft carrier to send fighter jets for close surveillance, and report any abnormalities immediately!"

As a result, Angel hadn't rested enough in her room. He hurried into the cockpit of his beloved Silver Pegasus fighter.

The captain of the aircraft carrier is a cute tentacle monster with big shiny eyes, and he chooses to ignore and acquiesce to Dibes, who rushed into the bridge and snatched the crystal ball in the hands of the innocent-faced communication soldiers, and let the conversation between the two spread throughout the fleet.

"Angel. Be careful. Dibes looked a little nervous, and his words were full of concern, "Don't be reckless, come back quickly when you encounter danger." ”

"Don't worry. We're just going to take a look. The heroic Angel chuckled and said. "That big octopus isn't something we can deal with, and there's no need to clash with the enemy. Just wait for me to come back. ”

"Ahem!" Jikrem's voice suddenly added, "If you have anything to say in the room at night, please give me the channel first, OK?"

“...... I'm sorry. ”

The Admiral took a deep breath and then said solemnly, "Your task is very simple, to monitor the enemy's every move, and try to find out what the other party is doing and what they are planning. Never engage the enemy. After being shot down, the fleet will not risk a special trip to the rescue. ”

"Lord Admiral, what if the enemy takes the initiative to attack us?" asked Angel. "Did you really turn around and run away?"

"That's right, we're just a reconnaissance fleet, and the fighters on board the aircraft carrier are all silver Pegasus, so it's clear that we're not fighting the enemy. Jikerem paused for a moment as he spoke, "The demon's sudden action at this time must be strange, please be careful. So, let's do it!"

Angel took the lead in increasing the thrust to the maximum, pulling the joystick and driving the fighter into the blue sky.

——————————————————I'm a dividing line——————————————————

Of course, it was impossible for the pilots to play ace air combat by dispatching a large number of fighters at one time, so he evenly dispersed the group and launched reconnaissance on both sides of the coast with the flying octopus as the center. Although this little monster has only one demon in the current intelligence, who knows if there are any other hunting things hidden in those bat wings?

Therefore, comprehensive reconnaissance is necessary.

I don't know if it's lucky or unlucky, Angel and her team are in charge of monitoring the giant octopus with a shiny head.

The appearance of the four silver Pegasus fighters quickly attracted the attention of the flying octopus, and the big eyes that penetrated looked directly at Anqi's back in a cold sweat. However, the giant tentacle monster with only love did not take any action, and slowly retracted its gaze after making sure that Angel and the others would not approach.

Angel didn't dare to approach rashly, but led the team to slowly circle back and forth in the distance.

There were a lot of demons gathered on the beach, and unlike the cannon fodder army that covered the mountains and fields in the past, this time it was obviously the elite troops of the other side. They also ignored the four small bright spots in the sky in the distance, and quietly lined up to enter the body of the flying octopus, and the big octopus's movements did not drag at all, and the two wrists and feet hanging on the ground kept undulating, and successively "swallowed" the demon into it, the scene looked very strange.

The flying octopus is indeed large, but the number of people it can carry is limited. It didn't take long for the tentacle monster to retract its wrists and feet, leaving a large group of demons on the beach to stare at them.

Even with the cover of countless broken wooden ships, the Great Octopus would not be able to break through the defenses of the coalition forces, because the aerial battleships posed a great threat to this guy. The last terrible (to the demons) naval battle had confirmed this, so what new tricks are the batwings going to play today?

The maiden knight didn't wait long. The surface of the sea has changed dramatically. Countless white waves suddenly rose into the sky, and some kind of huge figure could be faintly seen inside, and these waves were not just one, the whole sea was almost as if it was boiling.

Sea monsters. And it's not a dozen, it's a whole group!

It turned out that during this time, the demon directly abandoned the complex and difficult to master magic weapon technique, and spent all his energy and resources on cultivating monsters. As an expert in this area, Batwing quickly developed a number of large hunting crawlers that could compete with the surface fleets of the coalition forces, as well as some monsters that could carry troops. Although the training time is quite tight, there are certain deficiencies in ability, and the design is not very good, it is still available.

The enemy's invasion was not what some of the Alliance's more optimistic people believed, at least it would take half a year for the other side to master the ship's skills and build them, which they had been waiting for for so many years. has long been like a red-eyed madman, where will he slowly and carefully sort out and learn what techniques?

Frightened, Angel hurriedly sent a contact and warning to the fleet, but she could not continue to observe closely. A group of monsters that looked a lot like crows, but with sharp serrated beaks at the tip, and were about the size of a warplane, flapping their wings, approaching rapidly from the direction of land. Straight for the four silver Pegasus.

It only lasted a few minutes, but it was enough. Angel hurriedly opened the communication and shouted an order to his teammates: "Don't fight, retreat to the fleet immediately!"

The beautifully painted warplanes arced in the air and fled straight to the end of the sea, but the iron-billed crows didn't seem to give up. They overrun the giant octopus's head at high speed. Relentlessly chasing after Silver Pegasus.

Angel still didn't choose to turn back to fight. Not to mention that there are more opponents than themselves, and it is a new gadget that appears on the battlefield for the first time, who knows what kind of abilities they have?

The Ironbill Raven has an incredible flight speed, almost on par with the Silver Pegasus. Moreover, as living beings, they should be more agile in mobility than machines. However, Angel and the others had no intention of engaging in battle at all, and after chasing for three minutes and finding that they could not get close to the silver Pegasus, these crows finally slowed down and turned back - and before that, they were out of the cover of the land, and they could be eaten by the coalition reconnaissance fleet.

After landing safely on an aircraft carrier. Angel stepped off the fighter plane and was hugged by the anxious Dibes: "How is it, are you injured?"

"Ann, la, la. Didn't I come back in good time? In the whistling of the surrounding sailors one after another, Rao is girl knight couldn't help blushing, and hurriedly pushed away Dibes Dao, "Quickly let go, isn't this making people watch the excitement?"

"Well, let them see enough if they want to see it. Compared to a tragic boy in the academy who was chased and intercepted by the boys with torches every day because of his relationship with our little blonde queen, I was already very lucky. Having said that, Dibis respected her lover's wishes and let go of her, and then asked with a serious face, "Angel, you said in your communication that the demons have created many sea monsters and are going to use them as the main force of the navy to attack us, is that true?"

An Qi nodded seriously, took the handsome blue-haired man's hand and walked over to the side of the ship: "It is estimated that Lord Admiral will soon send someone to call me to him for a specific report, let's go over first." In addition, we didn't actually have to look closely at what the enemy's sea monsters looked like before they were chased away by the opponent's air units, which doesn't provide much valuable information. There's nothing wrong with the demon being ready to make a big move, though. ”

"Holy. Dibes couldn't help pinching the bridge of his nose and sipping, "We finally defeated Ulrike under the leadership of Her Majesty the Queen and won the victory, I thought that the war would end temporarily, but who would have thought that ...... Is this the trial that the Creator God has given me?"

A familiar voice suddenly came from the front, it was Jikrem: "Even if it is a trial, this should be the last time." How's that, Angel. What do you see on the coastline?"

"Lord Admiral, why are you here?" the surrounding sailors immediately saluted Jikrem, and Angel looked a little stunned.

"Because I have to listen to all the pilots personally, it is naturally much more efficient to set the venue on this ship. Jikerem raised his chin slightly, "So, what's going on?"

"Uh, I'm sorry sir. We failed to get a closer look at the enemy's sea monsters, as a flock of giant crows with beaks that looked like sharp serrated blades drove us away. The maiden knight stood up solemnly and saluted, "This is the first time I've seen this kind of flying unit, it's about the same size as a fighter plane, and it's fast, but because there is no engagement, the detailed capabilities of the other party can't be ascertained. ”

It's a real nuisance. Jikerem scratched his scalp fiercely, took two deep breaths, and said calmly, "I'm in the war room, and when the others come back, let them go there and see me immediately." Also, be ready for battle at any time, the leisurely recuperation time of the Alliance army is over. ”

"Yes, Lord Admiral!" (to be continued......)
