Sitting in the command tower of the Iron Fortress, I was reviewing the battle record of the past half month. Using the troops of the Mokast Empire and my only two reorganized legions, with the coordinated operations of nearly two thousand flying ships, I almost recovered all the territory of the Kingdom of Yan. The only thing left were two large orc barracks. Under my scorched earth policy, the orc army gathered in the barracks could only survive with empty stomachs.
"Sir, according to your suggestion of purchasing general flying ship production parts from outside, our flying ship production speed has been greatly accelerated. Up to now, we already have more than 2,400 flying ships, which is enough for a big fight!" When Victor heard me say that we were preparing to attack the orcs' military camp in the capital of Yaen, he was the first to stand up, eager to launch a campaign to retake the entire Yaen.
"But which orc barracks should we attack first? Or should we take them all down at once? I think with the advantage of our flying ships, we can definitely defeat those two barracks. Even if they have support from the demons, it will be of no use. After all, as long as our flying ships do not fly below 1,000 meters, the demon mages will be helpless against us." Shen Qiang, who has been in charge of sweeping up small orcish forces these days, is now rubbing his hands in excitement and wants to attack the large orcish forces, and his appetite is not small.
"Brother, aren't you afraid of choking? Two million! This is not a small number... And don't forget, the Demons are not like the Orcs. Most of their mages have the ability to fly. If their mages forcibly take off and fight us, and they focus their attack on our carrier ships, then even if they cannot be distracted in the air to release large-scale magic, as long as they can launch simple magic such as small fireballs, it will be enough to cause us trouble." The more careful Shen Xiang reminded Shen Qiang, who was also born in the same clan, with concern at this time, and raised the problem he was worried about.
"Don't worry too much. I've actually thought about all of this and have come up with some countermeasures. Since the magician's flying altitude is limited, and they can only use low-level magic while flying, we just need to fly those oversized load-carrying flying ships to an altitude of about two thousand meters.
As for our attack-type flying ships, with their magic shields and the protection of a large number of attack-type magicians, I think they are enough to kill all those demon mages at an altitude of about 1,000 meters. After all, human magicians who are down-to-earth and can fully exert their own strength are stronger than those demon mages who need to fly in the air to fight us.
Of course, our air force is not without rivals. Everyone should remember that in this war, the demons still have a kind of super experts that the beasts do not have, that is, sword master-level warriors with the ability to fly. I think they are our mortal enemies. . . . . "
“…”
There is no doubt that when I expressed my thoughts, the originally active discussion fell silent immediately, and everyone was frightened by the possibility I mentioned. Imagine that those sword masters often directly use aerial combat to fight in order to avoid the intervention of ordinary fighters, which would definitely be a catastrophic blow to those attacking flying ships flying at low altitudes.
Since I couldn't get any suggestions from my subordinates and I couldn't come up with a good solution myself, I turned my eyes without hesitation to Iya, the only sword master-level figure in my camp.
"Xiang, Sword Saints are also human. Although we have strength beyond that of ordinary people, there is still a limit to our strength. In fact, the Sword Saint's flying range is only about a thousand meters high. Although its attack power is much stronger than that of a magician, it is still far less than that on the plains. I want to use an attack-type flying ship and increase its attack power, so I can definitely find a way to deal with the Sword Saint..."
"Old man, among us, the only one who can be called a sword master is none other than you. So when we look for a way to deal with the sword master, we have to look to you..." After listening to Yiya's explanation, I set my sights on Sterling without hesitation. Apart from my superficial reasons, didn't I also regard him as an imaginary enemy of the Kingdom of Yan in the future
"Whatever you say, I'll do it! Anyway, this world is no longer something I can save, so I'll have to rely on you!" Sterling could only smile bitterly at my real idea. Not only because I was the only hope to fight against the beastmen and demons, but also because Sterling couldn't understand how those thousands of flying ships could float more than 2,000 meters in the sky, and the troops he was controlling were completely within the attack range of the flying ships of the Kingdom of Yan. Before he figured out how to deal with the flying ships, Sterling had no choice but to obey my orders.
At this moment, an intelligence officer rushed into the conference room from the rear. After I signaled, he read out the news from the Iron Fortress in front of everyone.
"Your Highness, we have received news from the Iron Fortress that a small team has come from Andriel. After being interrogated by us, they directly claimed that they wanted to see you and said that their name was Thacker..."
"Sack..." After hearing this name, I stood up and snatched the report from the intelligence officer. "What's coming has finally come... But it's good, so I don't have to worry about the affairs of the Western Continent anymore..." After a little contemplation, I immediately figured it out. Anyway, I only want to eliminate the threat of orcs and demons now, and other things don't interest me. If I can let Sack and his team handle the affairs of the Western Continent, then it will only benefit me and not cause any harm.
"Send the order, take Sack and his team to Kamikaze City to wait for me, I will go to see him right away... Marshal Sterling, I think you don't have any objection to my supporting the original emperor of the Kastark Empire?" I turned my eyes to Sterling. I think this guy is definitely happy to see the civil strife in the Kastark Empire. (To be continued)
