Chapter 1478 Rescue
A Dragoon fighter plane left the upper deck of the Hanxing with a low buzzing sound, and the anti-gravity aircraft brought a trail of shimmering magic power in the sky, and flew towards the distant Violet Coastline.
The images captured by the Dragoon fighters in the air were transmitted to the command center of the Hanxing through the magic network terminal, and were clearly presented in front of Modil and Victoria.
Now they could see more clearly the barren coast, and the vast stretches of pristine wilderness leading to the Violet Interior.
"The main urban area of Plandel, the southwest port area, and the northern intersection area have all disappeared...there is a natural and continuous transition zone at the border of the forest, excluding the possibility of human intervention," the voice of the aerial scout came from outside the screen, which sounded disconcerting With a deep sense of astonishment and bewilderment, "Observing the terrain features that match the data records, it can be confirmed that this is indeed the original location of Plandel City..."
Maggie propped her hands on the communication platform, leaned her upper body slightly forward, and said in a very serious tone, "Is there nothing man-made?"
"There are no man-made things," the scout's voice sounded, "and there are no traces of artificially modified terrain. It feels as if no one has ever lived here since ancient times."
"Have you found any traces of the two missing operators?" Victoria said standing beside Maggie, "They should have left a distress signal on the beach."
"Not found yet, the beach environment is very complicated, I need to get closer."
"Lean over, hover over the beach, and wait for the landing team to support," Victoria nodded, then turned to look at another communication terminal, "Where is the landing team now?"
The voice of the leader of the landing team came from the magic net terminal, "We have arrived near the coastline and are looking for a safe landing route. There are too many reefs here, and the current is extremely chaotic. The original port guidance facilities and sea surface markers have disappeared. "
Victoria exhaled softly, "Proceed with caution. Immediately after landing, set up communication relays and look for a safe landing site. At the same time, search the entire coastline... Support troops will arrive soon."
After the communication was hung up, Victoria sighed, and turned to look at Modil, "The entire coastal area has become a primitive area, and that city really seems to have never existed... I hope that the two military intelligence bureaus will Members should not encounter things like powerful monsters, that place is no longer the 'civilized country' we remember."
"They shouldn't have a problem," Modil stroked his beard, he slowly raised his head, looked through a window in the command center, looking at Violet Island in the distance, "I'm more concerned about Violet now The situation in other areas...Prandelle City disappeared,
What about other cities that lost contact earlier than Plandel? City of Thousand Towers, Palansanto, Cold Sea City... If the vision spread outward from the center of the island, then Plandel might just be the last area to disappear..."
"Are you saying that the entire Violet Kingdom has disappeared?" Victoria's expression was calm, making it impossible to guess what emotion she was feeling at the moment. After a while, she shook her head, "If it was before today, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, If you hadn't said that... I can't believe that this kind of thing would happen in the world. An entire kingdom just disappeared in the world... The rational part of being a mage makes me feel that this is not true."
"I'm just the opposite of you. As a mage, I always believe that anything can happen in this world. When a phenomenon happens and we can't understand it, it's not because there's something wrong with the world, it's just because we don't know enough. "Many," Mordir said cheerfully, "as an adventurer, I have seen too many strange things in my life."
Victoria was thoughtful, while Maggie glanced at the message just received by the magic net terminal, and said to Victoria, "The Cold Wind and the Ice Cavalry have departed from Beigang. According to your order, take the A large amount of supplies and a powerful communication station, accompanied by experienced Iron Rangers. They will then land at Rattle and Port Payne on the southwestern coast of the Violet to investigate."
"Very good," Victoria nodded slightly, and then reminded them again, "Remember to remind them that no matter what the situation in Rattle and Port Payne is, they must return to the ship before the sun sets, at least after confirming the first night. Before the situation, no one can spend the night on the island, let alone rush into the interior.”
"yes."
The Violet Kingdom does not only have the coastal city of Prandell. On this huge island, there are also several cities located on the southern coast that have established trade relations with North Port in the past few years. Now these cities have completely lost the same as Prandell. Although there is no clear evidence, everyone is guessing whether what happened in Prandell also happened in other places in Violet?
If the other two teams encounter the same vision in Rattle and Port Payne... then Modill's fears may come true.
The communication station was quiet for a while, and Victoria, Mordill, and Maggie were all lost in thought, until the magic net terminal next to it suddenly buzzed, and the somewhat excited voice of the landing team commander interrupted Everyone was thinking, "Your Excellency, Grand Consul! We have gone ashore and found the two missing officers of the Military Intelligence Bureau. They are safe and sound!"
Victoria and Maggie glanced at each other subconsciously, and the latter nodded immediately, "I will lead the team to see the situation myself."
Mordir hesitated for a moment, and got up immediately, "I'll go with you. Those two young men and I have also been 'fighting side by side' before. We were in a hurry when we parted. At this time, there are some things I want to confirm with them."
Listening to the old ancestor's words, Victoria was suddenly a little worried, "You used to...wouldn't have any problems? You saw the shadow dwellers in the mist of Prandel before, and I suspect that the Violet Kingdom may have some kind of secret relationship with Lady Ye. You only arrived at Prandell in a dream last night, but if you go ashore in person now, I'm afraid..."
"It was precisely because of my previous experience in 'Dream Walk' that I felt the need to go and see for myself." Modil certainly knew what Victoria was worried about, but the old mage just smiled, his expression was rather indifferent, "When the vision happened, even though I was sleeping in the bedroom of Winterhold, my mind was still 'drawn' into the dense fog of Prandell... a certain force was guiding me here, and I couldn't hide of.
"I believe that everything happens for a reason. This vision almost hid the whole world, but I became one of the witnesses. This seems to be a signal, a signal sent by Ms. Ye, and I started from this There was no sense of hostility in the signal. And..."
Speaking of this, Mordir suddenly paused and shrugged, "And even without considering the above reasons, 'curiosity' is driving me forward, I have been wandering in this world for hundreds of years, always trapped in the It is impossible to advance an inch in the fog, but now the exit in the fog seems to be in sight... I want to solve this mystery, even if this is the last adventure in my life."
Victoria's originally calm expression suddenly changed. She looked at her ancestor fixedly, and finally felt something unusual from the other party's always free and easy attitude.
It seems that since this morning, since he got out of that "dream", some kind of change has taken place in this ancestor's mentality. He has withdrawn the leisurely leisure of these days, and replaced it with a certain... motivation to go to the unknown.
It seems... the great adventurer who left a great reputation in history has ended his short vacation and is ready for the next adventure.
"...I understand." After a moment of hesitation, Victoria finally nodded slowly, "I will stay here and sit in charge. You and Maggie should be careful, and try not to continue to go deeper into the island after receiving the two missing operators." Explore, and be sure to return before sunset."
Mordir waved his hand to signal that he knew, then turned around and left the command center with Maggie.
On the deck of the Hanxing, the black-haired maid turned into a fully armed dragonborn. As the giant wings spread, the steel wings on Maggie's body also shone with a metallic brilliance under the sunlight. Listen The series of sounds of the mechanical device meshing and running and the humming from low to high during the charging process of the magic unit, Mordir standing on the edge of the deck couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "Although I have seen it many times...but I still have to To put it bluntly, these are really incredible times.”
"Before the time came, no one could have imagined that the world would become like this." Maggie lowered her head slightly, her fangs and sharp teeth glowing coldly under the iron jaw, "please come to my back Well, my flying speed is still much faster than the mage's flying technique."
"Then I won't be polite." Modil nodded cheerfully, and directly climbed onto Maggie's broad back along Maggie's drooping wings, and then the fully armed black dragon jumped up from the deck. Behind Maggie, there were two Dragoon fighter planes that set sail together, and two landing speedboats that had just been lowered from the side of the Hanxing.
This is the action process that was set at the beginning. After the vanguard successfully landed and sent back the basic environmental parameters, the follow-up force will carry a variety of large equipment and supplies to respond, in addition to searching for and rescuing the two missing persons. , their other task is to establish a temporary advance camp at the "old site" of Plandel City, which has now been turned into a primitive coast, as a foothold for subsequent exploration.
Of course, for safety reasons, everyone will still withdraw to the ship at night, at least for the first night.
In this way, the second expedition team left the giant steel ship floating in the sea in a mighty way, and headed towards the coastline not far away where an ancient city once stood, but now it has turned into a primitive landform.
The air currents in the sky were blocked by the protective barrier around the dragon, and the feeling of looking at the sea and sky from the back of the dragon was exhilarating. Mordir grasped the steel wing assembly near Maggie's shoulder and neck while observing the sea and the sky on the coast. "I know, I actually rode a giant dragon hundreds of years ago. Although I don't remember it, there was a record at that time..."
"Being caught in the claws of a dragon is not a 'ride', Mr. Mordill." Maggie said in a low voice.
Modil was stunned for a moment, "Huh? You know about this?"
"I know Miss Melita Purnia. When I was in Cecil City, I often saw her."
"...Okay, reasonable," Modil shrugged, and then muttered again, "According to the current popular saying, am I considered to be 'socially dead'?"
Maggie thought about it carefully. She originally wanted to say that the person involved had a thick skin, but then suddenly realized that the unreliable old man on his back was actually the ancestor of Victoria. The words on the lips were swallowed back.
Mordir didn't pay much attention to this topic, because at this time his attention had already fallen on the coast.
The distance of a mere four nautical miles is nothing more than a few flaps of wings for the dragonborn. Now they have come to the sky over the primitive and wild coast of Violet Island. An exploration team, and two military intelligence officers standing with the exploration team.
Neither Sparrow Bee nor Night Owl expected that the rescue force would come so quickly. They didn't know that Mordir "returned" to Cold Winter Castle after the thick fog dissipated, and they didn't expect that there would be a steel battleship coming directly from North Harbor to pick them up that day. , in their worst scenario, the news from the direction of Violet was cut off, and it might take several days, or even ten days, to send a ship from Beigang. After all, this mysterious hermit country often has such traffic blockades. , and signal interference around the island often occurs.
They have already made psychological preparations to survive in this primitive wilderness for ten days without any support, communication cut off, and no material reserves.
As a result, before the first day was over, reinforcements arrived...
The heavily armed Iron Ranger warriors beside her made Quefeng slightly relax from the tense nerves from yesterday. She looked at the big ship floating in place on the sea in the distance, and saw giant dragons, fighter planes and speedboats coming from The boat set off and approached the coast, and saw the black dragon at the front of the team flapping its wings, the first one approached the coast and landed smoothly on the gravel beach a hundred meters away.
A somewhat familiar figure jumped off the dragon's back and landed slowly with a levitation technique.
It was an old mage with a soft black hat on his head, a dark robe of stars, and a magic ball and magic book hanging from his waist. He looked gentle and mysterious.
Sparrow Bee and Ye Xiao were both a little dazed, and just as they were dazed, the old mage had already used the flying technique and came directly in front of the two officers of the Military Intelligence Bureau. The young man who fought side by side (or run side by side) said cheerfully, "What? You can't recognize me now?"
"Mr. Mordir? It's really you?!" Finch Bee finally came to his senses, looking at the old man in front of him in surprise and disbelief, and blurted out the words in his heart, "I'm sorry I didn't recognize you in your clothes... "
Mordir "..."
"Coat! I mean coat!" Finch Bee blushed in the next second, and waved her hands nervously and ashamedly, "I mean you changed your pajamas into..."
"Why don't you just stop talking... I know what you want to say." The old mage sighed with helplessness on his face.
Rao is a great adventurer who is used to seeing the wind and waves. At this time, he can only sigh in his heart that he is fortunate that he does not have the habit of sleeping naked...
