Chapter 1543 Rescue

Ezio's idea is not complicated, that is, save as much as you can before the time limit. Anyway, the biggest advantage of the Twin Griffins is its fast speed.

As long as you calculate the distance to the meeting point, it's not a big problem to get back within the time limit. As for the tolerance of the veteran general of the Haider Empire, don't think that the human camp's coalition forces have such a loose structure and it is difficult to implement orders.

It's because the forward sentries have a certain degree of freedom. Except for major targets, they can adjust the content of their actions according to the situation.

If such a person is allowed to act strictly according to a certain plan without giving any space, it may turn into a disaster.

Because you are on the front line, anything can happen. And there is not necessarily a response plan for these things, so frontline commanders are needed.

'When generals are outside, the emperor's orders will not be accepted.' This sentence actually applies not only to disputes over military power and imperial power.

When Ezio conveyed his thoughts to everyone, the entire Twin Griffin began to move.

However, since it was night, Ezio did not intend to maintain the same alert state as during the day. Taking into account the rest requirements of everyone and the combat capability of the airship, two or three shifts were arranged depending on the position.

Thanks to the fact that it was winter and it was a moonless night, the activity of all living things was reduced to a minimum.

The airship relies on the advantage of the arcane eye, and its ability to fight at night is not much better than during the day, but it is not much different, so Ezio dares to use rotating combat power to operate at night.

If everyone really has to grit their teeth and persevere, if the chain fails at the critical moment, it will be more terrifying than insufficient combat power.

Next, the Marines who have the heaviest and busiest tasks among all the crew members will be the Marines who have been doing nothing all day long.

To save people, it is necessary to come into contact with the ground. How to win people's trust, how to persuade the other party, and how to command a group of laymen to cooperate in actions, all test the wisdom of the Marine Corps members.

This time, Ezio was confused about whether to follow him to the ground. He did not interfere in the formation and tasking of the Marine Corps.

This is because there are many and detailed matters, and it is the best choice for the Marines to arrange them themselves, rather than him, the commander, having to worry about them directly.

If he stays in the air, he can get a better overview through the perspective of the Arcane Eye. Unfortunately, the shortcoming of this approach is that it is inconvenient to communicate with the ground. It is impossible to obtain first-hand information and make judgments, and can only rely on flash or pyrotechnic signals to transmit messages.

It would be easier for people on the ground to just tell them to die if they just keep their eyes on the forum and wait for updates while taking action.

Being distracted on the battlefield is more deadly than anything else. If you go to the ground to take command in person, although it will be helpful to deal with various emergencies that the people below have no right to decide, you can imagine how long this night will become.

Lamenting his hard life and complaining about the lazy magician, Ezio returned to the back cabin without looking back.

The people in the control room are responsible for the arrangement of the flight route. As long as they are arranged in advance, there won't be many temporary decisions.

The most they can do is order a retreat before the deadline, so that they can return to the rendezvous point in time to assist in the official rescue mission.

Neither Ezio nor anyone else thought about giving up on that big mission. In comparison, Marine Corps ground operations have too many variables.

If you don't keep a close eye on it and waste time, you may drag the entire airship into danger.

So Ezio never thought of handing over decision-making power to others. Sometimes such an attitude does not necessarily mean fighting for power with those below, but simply taking responsibility for oneself.

At least when facing someone who is pestering him blindly, instead of arguing with him about whether to leave or not, Ezio has the courage and obligation to directly give the order to leave.

Whether it's kidnapping the other person away, or leaving the other person behind and walking away. If this decision were placed on others, they might not dare to make it.

At this time, if there is a boss who is brave enough to take the blame, the people below will be much more relaxed. But you don’t need to talk so much to the Marines.

What everyone is discussing is still the content of specific actions. In fact, at the time they were discussing, the Twin Griffins had arrived at the first place where a small number of humans seemed to gather.

People in the command room naturally have a process for determining goals. After the target was determined to be a human being, the airship began to descend.

At this time, the shortcoming of the Twin Griffin appeared - vertical take-off and landing. Most traditional airships rely on magic to adjust their height, and the process is not fast.

But vertical takeoff and landing is a standard maneuver, not something new. The new airship has an external propeller, and its horizontal flight, climb and descent speeds are different from those in the past.

But when it comes to vertical landing, it has been brought back to its original shape, on the same level as a traditional airship. So the so-called shortcomings here, the slowness that everyone feels are all based on comparing the performance of the Twin Griffin in other aspects.

It’s not like the great designer of the shuttle never thought of allowing the angle of the external propeller to be adjusted.

But the more agencies there are, the more fragile the structure becomes. After several times of violent acceleration, the propeller flew out on its own, and the idea of ​​​​solving this defect was given up.

So if the Twin Griffins were to land at a fixed point now, they would either do it slowly or descend in a spiral trajectory.

No matter what choice you make, this action will take more time. During this process, the Marine detachment scheduled to be the first to launch did not wait obediently on the airship.

They followed Ezio and jumped out of the open rear hatch. Use the Sky Knight's landing skills to reach the ground first.

There is no way for the Sky Knight to land silently. No matter how hard he tried to cover it up, the moment he landed, it was like a loud roar echoed in the chests of those around him.

As expected, the people hiding nearby were awakened. It means that no one can sleep peacefully on such a cold and hungry night.

In addition, there are demons and orcs out there hunting humans, and the slightest movement will wake up this group of frightened humans from their sleep.

The group of people who jumped up were all looking for the source of the abnormality and where it was, so that they could decide on the direction to escape.

Don't think that the place where they are hiding is quite remote, and they may not encounter a demon or orc once in dozens of days.

However, monsters or beasts operating in nature will still threaten their lives. In the past, they had fortifications such as houses and fences to protect themselves.

It may not be possible to protect oneself against some powerful monsters, but it is enough to deal with most monsters and beasts.

Now, they are hiding in an unprotected place. Even if a few people are not bitten away and some of their food reserves are destroyed, it is still distressing enough.

So it's important to see clearly what's trying to scare them. It was not difficult for Ezio to understand the nervousness and worry of this group of people, so he took the lead in revealing his identity.

He held a magic prop similar to an oil lamp, which emitted soft white light and illuminated his appearance clearly.

Ezio said: "We are the airship rescue force of the Hyder Empire. Please bring your valuables and come out. Time is running out." Ezio did not lower his volume, because he was very sure that there were no people around. Only the enemy dares to act like this.

The reason why the name Hydel Empire was used is because the Airship Corps is the most famous, and everyone knows it.

If we talk about the airship troops of the Gwana Empire, the people who are hiding will probably immediately think about how the Gwana Empire has any airship troops, and thus doubt the purpose of the people coming.

Anyway, the Haider Empire did participate in the war, and what came was their ace, half of the airship army.

And they were indeed subordinate to him in this mission. Therefore, Ezio did not hesitate to use such power.

Perhaps the name of the empire is really useful, and under the light source, a human appears.

The other Marines who accompanied Ezio to the ground early, wearing light armor, could clearly see their human characteristics.

In short, he is not a demon or an orc, and his credibility is slowly rising. After chattering for a long time, someone finally came out of the hiding place.

In fact, after confirming that there were people on the ground, Ezio and others paid special attention to the surrounding terrain as soon as they landed.

Although the snow has hidden most of the traces, the traces frequented by humans are still slightly different from other places.

Therefore, it is not difficult for Ezio and others to discover where the target is hidden. If you just pull people out directly, even if you don't scare them, your trust level will probably decrease.

That's why he didn't act recklessly. Like the leader of this group of refugees, an old man with a stooped figure and a somewhat embarrassed appearance stood up, bowed and said: "Sir, you said that you are from the Airship Corps of the Haider Empire. This Is it true?" The time was just right, and before Ezio could reply, the Twin Griffins appeared above everyone with heavy wind pressure.

The indicator lights that were originally turned off on the airship were all turned on after lowering to a certain height. Also turned on were the searchlights directed toward the ground.

Echoing the light source of the lamp-shaped magic prop in Ezio's hand, it feels like a heroic debut.

Seeing such a picture, even if there were doubts at first, everyone now believes it. Although they did not know that the airships of the Haider Empire should have legion emblems, nor did they recognize the emblems of the Kavi family of the Gwana Empire; but airships were a creation that demons and orcs did not have.

If you can drive this thing, you will definitely not be an enemy. Since they are not enemies, they are one of our own.

So under the shouts of the Marines, they hurriedly called the remaining people to come out of their hiding places, and brought with them a few children who were not counted originally.

In addition to clothing, metals, and valuables to keep out the cold, Ezio forced them to throw away their excess burdens.

Such as pots and pans, maybe these can be considered as belongings, but if you bring a flying vehicle that is very careful about its weight, believe it or not, Ezio will kick out the people together when it encounters an overweight problem.

In short, he has a dark face that makes people dare to be angry but dare not speak out. Things progressed surprisingly smoothly and quickly. When everyone boarded the airship from the rear hatch, someone was naturally responsible for settling the group of refugees who had just escaped from their birth.

Ezio and others set their sights on the next rescue location, praying secretly in their hearts, hoping that the next operation would be equally smooth.
