Chapter 343 Airborne Operations (I)

Early in the morning, at four o'clock, the departure point of the war mages stationed at the portal.

A new batch of war mages are preparing to leave the camp for external reconnaissance.

"We have been reconnaissance all day yesterday because of the stress response of the commander, but we didn't find anything."

An elf mage muttered, taking the staff handed over by the follower beside him.

He complained to the human mage colleague standing next to him.

"Last night, he asked us to perform night shift reconnaissance again. Does he know that it is difficult for us to recover our mental strength? He also asked us to increase the flight altitude to one thousand meters."

The reconnaissance is carried out every four hours, including at night. Even with the sufficient number of mages in the camp, it cannot withstand such a high-intensity cycle attack.

If he did not hold the imperial military order, the commander would not have the power to mobilize the mages so arbitrarily.

"Who knows, I just want to go back and have a good sleep early."

The human mage standing next to him shrugged and took his staff in his hand.

Fireball loading.

Even as a member of the most ordinary war wizards, he knew that the war was out of control.

He knew even better that when facing a war that was out of control, it was better to save his own life first.

"I'm ready..."

The elven wizard nodded, and then realized that a reconnaissance team should be covered by three war wizards.

"He skipped work and was still sleeping. You know, there are not many wizards who can master the flying spell."

The human wizard had an indifferent expression and carried the staff loaded with the speed spell on his back.

"Two people can also perform reconnaissance work. There is no need for three people. If you don't want to go, I can go alone."

Two traces of light rose from the ground and rushed into the hazy night sky.

Three thousand meters high.

Silently and silently flying, the humans with false wings spread over the forest covered with a layer of gray-green fog before dawn.

The camp in the distance, which had no light, disappeared from the sight of the wizard reconnaissance team. The built circular high wall and the forest seemed to merge into one in the observation.

Altitude 2,500.

"Area reconnaissance is over, no signs of marching were found, over."

With a radius of 15 kilometers, the three mages spread out in an arc after arriving at the target location, and regrouped into a reconnaissance team after reaching the edge of the reconnaissance area.

The two mages will conduct a rough reconnaissance of the entire area like a stretched Y.

"I didn't find any enemy troops here either."

The elven mage pressed the short-range communication spell beside his ear, and the voice of the human mage on the other side came.

Altitude 2,000.

"Okay, we can prepare to return."

The human mage activated the communication spell. This simple communication spell can only ensure that two mages within one kilometer can communicate smoothly. If they are farther away, the information will be distorted.

"I don't quite understand one thing. We have obtained information showing that they don't have any means of transport."

The elven mage looked at the light spot approaching him not far away, thinking and asking questions.

Without means of transport, with the number of combat units of the troops that can annihilate the two advance teams, it is impossible to hide from the sight of the mages.

They can't hide from our sight for so long.

It's impossible.

Altitude 1500 meters.

"The mage troops have checked the surrounding terrain and concluded that they did not find any roads that would be created when they moved."

The human mage activated the communication spell and transmitted his words to the flashing companion light not far away.

For mages who can move faster in the air, the road they disguised can be seen at a glance.

The enemy suddenly appeared on the ground with their heavy machinery without leaving any traces. The simple geological echo spell did not confirm a large and obvious passage near the camp.

This is unreasonable.

Because they are mages, they are extremely clear that something must be reasonable to exist. The enemy cannot appear there out of thin air - there must be something to help them arrive.

"Are they moving in the air... Our current altitude is already 1,000 meters, and we have been to an altitude of 1,500 meters before."

There is nothing above except the endless white world, and occasionally some fast-moving birds can be seen.

The communication fell into silence.

The human mage sighed softly.

"It can only move in the air."

The only problem is that they got this information too late, and the idea of ​​confirming the enemy's movement through traces was only proposed later.

"Maybe it is higher than 1,500 meters, even higher."

A cold world above 2,000 meters.

Altitude 1,300.

"Each ship confirms the combat order, and the airship formation is ready to enter its own attack route. Bomb along the terminal area issued, after receiving the order."

Welcoming the first ray of morning light from the distant stars, the iron-gray fleet was swallowed and wrapped by the thick clouds, slowly and firmly entering their route.

"The local civilization has launched a non-offensive siege on the two camps to curb their actions."

Altitude 1,200.

Six artillery cruisers and sixteen airborne carriers no longer carry constructs, and all have been converted into closed carriers.

The fleet broke through the fog, and the slowly flowing fog turned into liquid, leaving a stream-like trail in the air. They broke away from the last layer of clouds that blocked the fleet at the bottom, and gradually dispersed into the attack route.

The flashing floating stone array at the bottom began to work, allowing the descending airship to stabilize in the established course.

Both sides entered the visual range of each other.

Before the dawn, while the enemy enjoyed the best sleep before the morning.
