Chapter 331: Overlooking From the Clouds

The next day, at four in the morning, close to five o'clock.

The sky was slightly bright, mixed with mist and hazy, and most people were resting and sleeping at this time.

The Fifth Vanguard stationed at the portal had not yet realized that someone was taking advantage of the hazy sky to conduct high-altitude reconnaissance. The sun only showed the scattered clouds of its refracted light in the sky.

After completing his work, Ji Lin boarded the airship and set off towards the enemy camp.

He was alone.

It was necessary to change from a standard carrier to a floating carrier specially used for long-range reconnaissance. The two airships completed docking in mid-air, saving Ji Lin's action time.

The lightweight airship only retains key components and gives all the energy of the floating stone engine to propulsion. The moving speed can reach 10 kilometers per hour, which is extremely high among airships.

Armed carrier, artillery cruiser, lightweight reconnaissance ship.

The seagull-class carrier of the territory has gradually developed multiple variants to adapt to various war situations due to the needs of the territory.

"Can we descend further?"

Ji Lin smoothed the corner of his clothes, and the scenery under the clouds was reflected in his pupils.

"No, sir, 1,500 meters is the limit of observation, it can't go any lower."

The driver's voice came from the cockpit. He focused all his attention on observing the movement of the cumulus clouds in the sky and had no time to look after his commander.

1,500 meters in altitude, 1.5 kilometers. As long as the clouds can't cover the shadow of the airship a little bit, they will be exposed to the sight of the observers below-the airship troops responsible for reconnaissance generally maintain an airspace above 3,000 meters.

"The observation window is only a few minutes, and then we need to wait for new clouds to arrive. We may need to rise to an altitude of 2,000 meters in half an hour...rely on the clouds above to complete the cover."

They are taking advantage of the rotation of two layers of low-altitude cumulus clouds to overlook the ground in the lower airspace of 1,500 meters. If they are too close to the ground, they can easily be observed by people on the ground.

These war mages can really fly...rapid lead bullets have little effect when facing mage armor.

Lead bullets were still not lethal enough. He needed copper bullets, copper-coated steel core bullets.

Ji Lin used the water mirror of the Eagle Eye technique to magnify and memorize the ground defense.

The war mage built an almost impenetrable barrier with his own hands within three months, with three nested rings, endless towers and guards.

Before Ji Lin annihilated the first advance team, they had not even built a wooden fence or a sentry tower.

Ji Lin estimated the scale in his mind and gestured with his fingers to the enemy's area. The number of troops that could deploy such a large area of ​​fortifications must be more than four thousand.

To destroy the portal, the outpost core must be placed within 500 meters of the portal.

The system will directly use its power to gain control of the portal, block and close the portal, and reinforce the area where the portal is located after Ji Lin has completely completed the task.

"Give me the buffer backpack,"

Ji Lin took a deep breath, put on the backpack-like thing handed over by the soldier, and looked at the thick clouds that began to move slowly below.

This won't work. At this altitude, they only have a window of less than ten minutes.

It seems that the reconnaissance report submitted to him is not because these soldiers are poor in technology. This is the price of reconnaissance in higher airspace.

"I will descend another two hundred meters. I need to confirm the location of the other party's supplies and warehouses."

This equipment is composed of biological floating stone resonance chambers cut from the bodies of Yunqi creatures. It does not require the technology of miniaturized floating stone engine matrix, but uses the miracle of nature to assist itself.

The evolution of life for tens of millions of years is used by them.

The price is that this equipment can basically not provide thrust. It can only provide buffering deceleration or even hovering when descending, and it must be based on the universal penetration energy of source matter.

Using source matter to penetrate the organs of other creatures and activate the resonance field of the floating stone resonance chamber... It is a very strange experience for Ji Lin.

He doesn't really want to describe this feeling. It's like there are suddenly more organs on his body. And sincerely hope that the floating stone technology research department headed by Chongyan can miniaturize and integrate the floating stone engine as soon as possible.

In short, the various cloud-dwelling creatures floating stone resonance chambers that filled the entire warehouse in the territory can finally be put to use.

It is too extravagant to burn them all with fire and only recover the large amount of biological refined floating stones enriched in the resonance chamber.

"Control the course, I am going to jump out of the cloud to observe directly."

And the thin fog at the bottom of the cloud will be his best cover.

Good commanders tend to put themselves on the front line to obtain the most critical information at the first time. Excellent artillery commanders are always short of arms and legs.

Compared with death, the greater risk is to be noticed by the other party and unable to obtain accurate intelligence.

This is necessary work.

"Received, route locked."

The driver shouted,

"Sir, the observation window is only 30 minutes. When the time is up, we must rise to prepare for the new cloud."

"When the time is up, pull me up directly."

Ji Lin looked at the driver and nodded, took a deep breath, and fixed the drawing board and pencil on his body. Confirm that the rope that pulled him back to the floating reconnaissance ship has been firmly fixed on himself.

If the rope is gone, he will not die from the fall, but he will not be able to come back.

Connection, synchronization, resonance.

The resonance chamber of the cloud creature was activated, acting on him, fighting against the gravity that could never be escaped.

Jump out of the cabin.

Since no one else had the ability to draw a map, it could only be done by him, the commander.

A crazy but feasible plan appeared in his mind.

Fall.

Break through the clouds.

The scenery reflected in Ji Lin's eyes became clearer, and the camp that had not yet awakened was in full view.

The azure portal that should have been in operation was dimmed at this time. A large amount of supplies were piled on both sides of the circular portal. He searched for some special buildings along the circular map centered on the portal.

They are always connected to the road.

Road, transportation, pointing to the supply center/warehouse.

Tower, fixed arcane focus generator.

Ji Lin took out the drawing board and began to draw a map of the camp on the ground with a pencil very quickly, recording every node on this circular fortification.

A devastating blow cannot be separated from the support of a precise plan.

As precise as a scalpel, as powerful as a heavy hammer.
