After discussing with Sack, I deliberately slowed down the pace of our advance. In addition to sending Victor to lead an air combat force to assist Sterling in gradually recovering the Mocast Empire, I also allowed the Kingdom of Yan to gradually restore order and vitality, in order to allow Princess Marit to ascend the throne in the shortest possible time.
At the same time, according to the agreement between me and Thacker, hundreds of thousands of troops loyal to the former Kastek Empire, now completely under Thacker's control, began to pass through the Andriel region and entered Kamikaze City. After changing their uniforms, they underwent a series of adaptive training. Those soldiers of the former Sixth Division of the Flame Legion have now become instructors. Matthew, who was originally used by Thacker to supervise me, now also satisfactorily ascended the throne of the Legion Commander and became Thacker's right-hand man.
"My lord, today is the day when Sterling is preparing to retake the capital of the Mocast Empire. In order for the Kastek Empire and the Yan Kingdom to cooperate better in the future, do you think we should go and see the steps and process of air-ground coordinated operations?" In order for Thak to better cooperate with my air combat forces to attack the Western Continent in the future, when I learned that Victor and Sterling were about to attack the capital of the Mocast Empire, I immediately invited Thak to watch the battle.
"That's great, of course. I've been here for so long, and although I've watched the air-ground coordinated combat exercises that Matthew and the others talked about, I've never witnessed real combat. I believe that this time I can not only truly feel the battle in this atmosphere, but also let my subordinates have a basic concept of the strength of Yann's flying troops. So that they don't regard the re-equipped troops as divine soldiers and generals." Just as I thought, Sack was very positive about this suggestion, and he expanded the number of people he would visit.
"Oh my god! This is so terrifying. Who could have imagined that a flying ship that small in the sky would be so big right in front of us? I'm afraid it can hold hundreds of people?" Dozens of minutes later, under the leadership of Sack, hundreds of generals from the Kastark Empire boarded dozens of heavy-duty flying ships. When they saw the hanging basket that was more than 20 meters long and 6 meters wide, the officers from Kastark were amazed, and everyone's face was full of confusion and admiration. Since each team of these people had several officers from the Sixth Division of the Flame Legion, there were no big jokes or accidents.
"Each load-carrying flying ship can transport 250 people or 4 tons of supplies. However, due to the low combat strength of the conventional army of the Kingdom of Yan, and I don't trust the army of the Mocast Empire, I have never used flying ships to transport troops on a large scale. But if necessary, I think for now, it will not be a problem for me to transport about 100,000 troops to a designated location at a time. However, judging from the current war between humans and the orcs and demons, transporting about 100,000 troops at a time will not be able to play a role. I am afraid that at most it will be like a lump of mud thrown into a pond, with only a puffing sound." After seeing Sack cast the same questioning look at me, I helplessly expressed my opinion to Sack.
"Perhaps...perhaps it won't have much effect in normal times, but in battle, especially when the battle situation is sticky and the difference in combat power between the two sides is relatively small, these 100,000 troops may become a killer weapon that can influence the battlefield..." Sack thought slowly, and after pondering for quite a long time, he suddenly said something. After hearing this, although I didn't react on the surface, I actually expressed infinite respect for Sack in my heart. Although the meaning of his words has been understood by all people with a little military interest in the 21st century on Earth, in this world, those who can think of using troops in this way are already worthy of my respect. After all, there have never been any airborne troops or other quick reaction troops in this world. . . . . .
"Sir, after the war situation stabilizes... that is, after the beastmen and demons are driven out of the continent, I am willing to send you an air combat unit to help you unify the entire western continent..." To everyone's surprise, after Thacker expressed his admiration for the air combat unit, I sent Thacker an air combat unit without hesitation. This really made all the officers of the Kastek Empire feel extremely excited.
But on the contrary, the faces of the officers of the Kingdom of Yan present turned very ugly, as if their parents had died. I am sure that if it were not because I was the one who said this, and it was not sent out immediately, but after a while, I am sure that the flying ship would have been in chaos at this time. But what is certain is that in the days to come, those high-ranking officials of the Kingdom of Yan will continue to harass me and try to make me change this decision.
Under the murderous gaze of the Yan officers, the officers of the Kastek Empire, led by Isak, expressed their gratitude to me one after another, and were eager to sign an alliance agreement between the two countries immediately.
But in my heart, I was very happy about this. Although I still have a good impression of the Kastek Empire, the first country I served, in my heart, but in fact, it is impossible for me not to think about my current position and the broken Kingdom of Yann, which is completely in my hands.
If the Kastark Empire can use the flying ships reasonably and never use them as a tool to attack the Kingdom of Yan, then I can guarantee that the flying ships in their hands will definitely play their due power. But if the Kastark Empire dares to use the flying ships to deal with the Kingdom of Yan, then I can guarantee that not only the flying ship forces of the Kastark Empire, but also their magician forces and elite regular forces will suffer a devastating disaster.
In fact, in my current Yaen Kingdom air combat force, Shen Xiang has installed one or more magic cannons on the load-bearing flying ships of the subsequent several flying ship forces according to my request. Of course, these flying ship forces will definitely not be the ones handed over to the Kastark Empire. . . And this also means that if the Kastark Empire wants to be the enemy of the Yaen Kingdom's air combat force, it will definitely suffer a devastating blow. . . . . .
"Your Highness, we have spotted Lord Victor's troops!" Just as I was imagining the scene where the Kastek Empire's air combat iridium team, under the control of a large number of magicians, with hundreds of thousands of infantry, was destroyed by the air combat forces of the Kingdom of Yan using ship-borne magic cannons, the magician in charge of the lookout sent me the news that the main combat force had been discovered.
