Cruise missiles can essentially be seen as a combination of rockets and drones.
It can even do just one reconnaissance circle after launch and then return.
From this point, we can see that the accuracy of this weapon is terrifyingly high, and it can basically hit whatever it is pointed at.
This is the kind of precision that Lucheng needs.
So Lu Cheng first asked Tiehuan to fire one as a reconnaissance.
"What's the situation like inside the city?"
Lu Cheng looked at the black box screen placed by the iron ring on the hood of the vehicle, which already displayed the image fed back by the No. 1 cruise missile.
The picture is very blurry and is occasionally interfered by some unknown magnetic field, but this magnetic field cannot interfere with the signal controlled by the black box... This is good news.
"It's terrible. A large number of blood crystal beasts were observed inside, and the road conditions are even more complicated. It would be risky to drive directly in." Tiehuan said.
"Lucheng, the barrier of the inner city can only be entered through the Yangyan Gate."
Elena was listening to the discussion between Lu Cheng and Tiehuan. The main gate of the inner city flashed on the picture on the black box, which immediately reminded Elena of this incident and she spoke out to remind Lu Cheng.
"A special entrance is needed? I really want to blow up this barrier with a missile... Where is the Sun Gate?"
Lu Cheng complained quietly and immediately brought the conversation back to the point.
Now is not the time to complain or make jokes.
"It's right where the image on your slate flashed." Elena pointed to the black box placed on the hood by the iron ring.
"Gate A in the inner city of this city?"
Lu Cheng watched as the first cruise missile launched by Iron Ring Control flew a full circle around the Skare Royal City.
This rocket is collecting information about the city structure and streets of the Royal City of Skare.
"Captain, do you want to take a helicopter and use the rope to descend to Gate A?" Feng Kite came over and mentioned the helicopter that he had been thinking about again.
"The barrier is in the vicinity of Gate A. If we use cruise missiles, it will affect the barrier... and the risk of using a helicopter is too great."
Lu Cheng couldn't deny that the helicopter was the fastest way, but the risk was too great... On the one hand, there was the strange magnetic field nearby, and on the other hand, there was no telling where those pterodactyls would appear from.
The pterodactyls hovering outside the city might be able to be shot down with cruise missiles, but inside the city...civilians might be affected.
"Once the route is confirmed, drive directly in. You can send a car as bait," said the pictorial.
"Not one, but two... I can also send another troop transport vehicle and related personnel, but what should I use to attract these blood crystal beasts?" Lu Cheng fell into deep thought.
The suggestion in the pictorial is feasible. The blood crystal beasts cannot chew the iron plates of military off-road vehicles, let alone troop carriers... but if there are too many of these guys, they will block the vehicles' progress.
Thinking of this, Lu Cheng looked at the groundhog that was held in Nuoyi's arms.
"What...what are you doing? I...tell you! I...I won't go to such a dangerous place!"
Charlotte, who had been quiet for a while, began to struggle again after feeling Lu Cheng's kind gaze.
"Daughter of the Crystal of Knowledge, what is the Blood Crystal Beast interested in?" Lu Cheng walked up and stared at the groundhog and asked.
"I... I don't know... about magic! Blood crystal beasts are creatures that feed on magic. Their... their favorite food is spellcasters. The stronger the spellcaster, the more... they will attract their attention." Under Lu Cheng's threat, Charlotte told Lu Cheng the information he wanted to know.
"A spellcaster?"
Lu Cheng turned his head and looked at Elena. She was the only one in the team who mastered some magic, but Elena and Lu Cheng were both key figures who had to go into the barrier to obtain the core of the earth vein and could not act as bait.
"I suddenly remembered that you are the best magic apprentice in the Gemansis Secret Society?" Lu Cheng remembered that there was another...excellent magic apprentice rat in the team.
"Of course, what do you want to do?"
Charlotte thought Lu Cheng was praising her one second ago, but the next second she felt a chill running down her spine.
“I can only give it a try.”
Lu Cheng opened his left hand and touched Charlotte's body.
When Lu Cheng touched the three-eyed crow, he had the illusion that he could control the magic sequence in the three-eyed crow's body.
But now it turns out that it was not an illusion. Lu Cheng could feel something like Charlotte's soul attached to the groundhog.
"My inscription? What...what did you do?"
Charlotte discovered that the inscriptions engraved on her soul had been released. The magic power contained in a digging rat was not even enough to reveal these inscriptions.
"I just gave you a little of my own magic power, and it worked."
Lu Cheng turned his head and looked at the blood crystal beasts outside the city gate. They obviously smelled the delicious food and all raised their heads to look in the direction of the hills.
At this moment, Lu Cheng stopped supplying magic power into the marmot's body. After the inscription disappeared, the blood crystal beasts lowered their heads and continued to wander outside the city.
"Iron Ring! You and Pictorial Kite will form a team and take this groundhog with you. It will attract the attention of the blood crystal beasts. I will send another team to assist you." Lu Cheng began to explain the detailed steps of the plan to his team in Chinese.
Tiehuan had already controlled the cruise missile to circle the capital, taking aerial photos of the city's street structure... Lu Cheng took out his laptop, imported all the pictures he had taken into it, and marked each street with a1, a2, etc.
"Your route can be to drive along A4 street to B3 after entering the city. There are not many obstacles in this deserted urban area. It goes around a whole circle..." Lu Cheng helped Tiehuan and the others plan their route.
"clear."
After Lu Cheng explained the steps of the plan to his team, he directly pulled out the USB flash drive storing data from his notebook and threw it into the portal.
"Research base, this is an aerial map of the battlefield area. I have marked the area numbers. Area C1 is currently a safe place. If the door is opened, you will start from C1..."
Lu Cheng used the walkie-talkie to communicate with the soldiers on standby in the research base. After the two sides exchanged enough information and confirmed the outline of the plan, Lu Cheng hung up the walkie-talkie.
"When the operation begins, Tiehuan will use cruise missiles to clear a path for you." Lu Cheng directly loaded the automatic rifle in his hand.
Feng Kite also replaced his sniper rifle with a light machine gun to prepare for this tough battle.
"That's the plan. In the end, even if you are surrounded by blood crystal beasts, don't be afraid..."
Lu Cheng solemnly instructed the three members of his team. As experienced soldiers, Lu Cheng's words might seem a bit redundant, but...
"Support will arrive soon, remember you are not alone."
Lu Cheng pointed at the red flag on Feng Zheng's chest. He didn't answer much but just stood straight.
Afterwards, Lu Cheng repeated the plan to General Hubert, and he and his Skarre soldiers decided to volunteer to serve as bait.
"It's time to go to the battlefield, everyone."
The moment Lu Cheng finished speaking, Huabao, as the driver, quickly opened the door and started the Pioneer No. 2. Tiehuan sat in the passenger seat with the black box and pressed the launch button on the black box.
The sound of the Pioneer's engine was like a roar of a wild beast, and it pounced on the herd of beasts wandering below.
