From troll tribes to elf empires

Chapter 271 Headquarters’ Response

Although among all the flights that have taken off so far, there has only been one "advanced biological attack incident" like this one;

But this still gave Nesta a reminder, allowing him to clearly confirm one fact again - that is, this is a world where sea, land and air cannot survive, and safety measures for high-altitude flights must be increased again.

Of course, judging from the number of attacks, high altitudes have not become a flight restricted area.

In other words, no matter from the perspective of efficiency or safety, this rescue operation still has to start from the airship. After all, it is impossible to give up food due to choking.

As a result, the Military Commission took the lead in establishing a "Rescue Committee" and took over the emergency response to this emergency. The first message it sent back to the crash point clearly expressed three meanings at the beginning;

First, Cynthia was officially appointed as the supreme commander on the front line and given unified authority over the landing point;

Second, urge Cynthia to confirm her own exposure and report in a timely manner when there is concrete information;

Third, she was ordered to ensure the safety of the compatriots at the scene as much as possible, and to implement the headquarters' evacuation instructions according to the subsequent situation.

At the same time, the committee issued a call order for three escort airships and a large transport boat of the same model as the shipwrecked ship, ordering them to immediately prepare for takeoff, and then fly as quickly as possible to the mainland base station closest to the escape capsule's crash point, so that they can

Bring the victims back in time.

After receiving the first situation report from Cynthia, the headquarters' response was roughly as follows

Next, this side is even preparing to conduct follow-up discussions on "high-altitude flight safety" and start formulating new escort guidelines.

But only about twenty minutes later, the second additional communication from the crash point in front arrived, causing an uproar among the senior management of the headquarters.

According to Cynthia's report, City 034 not only witnessed the entire process of the escape capsule falling, but also because the trajectory of the fall crossed the perception circle of its ancestral altar, they grasped the actual situation of life responses in the escape capsule, and it was even very possible

It is accurate information including the number of passengers, physical appearance description, and life strength.

For the Republic, this is the first time they have faced this kind of situation, and they have to start thinking about a series of problems they may need to face after they are exposed.

It is true that our side has a huge sense of psychological superiority when facing the north due to factors such as racial base value and technological value;

After the executor left in a hurry, Nesta once again said to everyone participating in the discussion,

"Everyone, it seems it's time for our Wind Wolf Pack to expand its territory."

It is worth mentioning that the height of elves is generally around 3.5 meters, while the height of combat armor is more than six meters;

Therefore, the driver's head is not actually at the 'head' shown by the armor, but at a lower upper chest position.

Ignoring Lieutenant Alexsta's explanation of the communication situation at the Southern Continent base station, the morale of everyone at the scene who learned about this situation was a little higher.

"So, the headquarters has been informed, and support from the base station will come faster than expected?"

Therefore, when the person who came was really seen clearly, the elf's body was shining with purple light even through the resin layer, low-pitched cheers immediately sounded at the scene.

On the other hand, it is also to guide some of the attacks with fatal purposes to hit the theoretically more deadly 'head'.

Its voice carried information, and under the guidance of amplification spells, it spread far away from the headquarters to the surrounding areas, and then there were responses from the depths of the forest in all directions;

While understanding the basic situation, Cynthia opened the command file after checking the sealing and other conditions according to the procedures, and then extracted two communication messages marked with different times, and saw the order from the headquarters.

Especially in the second letter, the headquarters gave her the overall command over the "victims at the crash point, the guards at the nine base stations, and the investigators in the information area", and ordered her to lead all members under her command to intercept the internal and external traffic of Double King 034;

In addition, matters such as the 'fraudulent scene' and 'headquarters support arrival time' were also stated in the order.

This is good news for Cynthia, because she no longer has to worry about what to do next, and whether her decision will cause the Republic to lose a little.

The reason why Nesta accompanied him was not out of distrust of the other participants, but because his relatively huge size after transformation, combined with the cave wolf's magic crystal, would make the subsequent 'fakes' more convincing.

.

Five hundred elf warriors, and they are warriors equipped with combat-type armor. They are undoubtedly the main force in the battle. Their respective armors are maintained in the form of "rucksacks" and carried with them, and will only be unfolded after arriving at the destination;

In addition, 80 first-level members of the witch doctor group entered the large transport boat, and another 50 second-level members, and even third-level members like Nesta, entered the special transport boat carrying the Burrow Wolf Magic Crystal;

"Yes, and there are two more. One of them is more than 600 kilometers away in the south, which is a poisonous swamp environment, and the other is 700 kilometers away in the northeast, which is a highland forest environment. Both places are the habitats of Warcraft populations. But

It is also our next base station deployment target.”

"What an idiot. Come here."

I saw him climbing to the top of Mother Tree No. 1, stepping on a huge leaf, and then transformed into a giant wolf, looking up to the sky and letting out a long howl.

And now, it seems that this stone is about to fall onto their chests? What will be the consequences?

Regarding the current state of the Rune Council and the ruling government, it may be a bit exaggerated to say "almost breathless", but it is not excessive. On the contrary, the military is sharpening its sword and showing a great desire to attack.

There is no doubt that they are 7 pieces of combat armor, and since they are in daylight cruise mode, most of their cockpits are only covered by a transparent resin layer, which allows everyone at the crash point to clearly see the body of the elf inside.

Being deep behind enemy lines is actually a daily routine for most of the compatriots present and a normal part of the mission. However, as a civilized life that lives in a social way, it is natural that there are more compatriots around.

something to be happy about;

'Sir, seven life reactions were observed in the northwest, but they seem to be our compatriots. Do you allow me to summon them for screening?'

"Very good, gather the wolves, prepare the airship, and prepare the cave wolf magic crystal."

'clear!'

Moreover, the other path provided by Cynthia - to immediately use force to eliminate witnesses, does not seem to be impossible to implement.

After initially confirming the identity of the other party, it was not a pure detection, but a signal carrying information was sent.

‘This is Major Cynthia, the person in charge of the crash point. Please identify yourself after identification. Repeat, here’

The greetings did not begin. After Alexsta completed the necessary steps, he took out the document from his arms and handed it to Cynthia.

The rough-toothed witch doctor, who temporarily exited the secluded state, was the first to express his opinion, and then attached the reasons why he held this opinion.

"According to the existing intelligence, Shuangwang·034 only sensed the reaction of life in the cabin. Even if they can determine what kind of creature is inside, they still cannot understand what the escape cabin is, let alone the airship.

The presence;"

"This is the latest order from the headquarters, sir, please take over."

"Ooooooooo!!"

"It would be great."

"Thanks for your hard work."

"What does the Speaker mean?"

However, the military’s plan is unlikely to be realized in a short period of time, because even if ‘exposure’ is unavoidable, ‘war’ is by no means an inevitable option;

"Don't rush it! It'll be ready soon!" Agatha, who had already joined the maintenance team, responded impatiently while muttering and complaining, "Since it is a program that is used to self-destruct in an emergency, shouldn't it be designed?

Can it be more stable? It’s actually made us struggle for so long.”

"Yes, there are low-altitude cavalry on the Rhineland side, and although winged civilized races are rare, they do not exist. Once these forces can fly at low altitudes and medium altitudes, they have the idea of ​​'enemies coming from the air'"

The reason why so many witch doctors are arranged is naturally to facilitate the fake scene and to activate the Burrow Wolf Magic Crystal more conveniently.

On the one hand, this is to allow the driver's hands and feet to take care of the control of part of the armored thighs, big arms and other areas, so that all instructions will not be issued from the nerve plexus;

There were no crew members entering the escort boat, mainly because the gondola space was almost completely occupied by offensive weapons. Therefore, except for a very small amount of space that could be used to carry operators, there was basically no room for carrying crew members.

at.

Afterwards, five hundred elf warriors also entered the transport boat carrying armor;

At this time, the airships were being pulled by ropes and arranged on the ground, with each hatch opening wide and ready to welcome the crew.

"Okay, little Agatha, it's almost done, isn't it? There are only a few points left," an engineer said with relief in the five-meter-high maintenance armor.

During the discussion, the opinions of the participants gradually became clear. Among them, the "actionists" who supported Cynthia quickly became the majority.

When he got closer, the second lieutenant stopped, saluted, and said,

Judging from the dispatch force alone, this is a "luxury" expedition.

300 Lord Wolves, 1,500 Giant Wind Wolves, and 1,200 Wind Wolves, they are responsible for taking the blame and expanding their territory;

And with the passage of time, even the Twelve Wolf Kings of the border area, who had previously remained unrelated to each other, slowly and reluctantly became "accepting orders but not propaganda."

"I'm not angry! I never stopped!"

"How far is Double King 034 from what they call the 'Southern Wall of the Continent'?"

Only about a light hour passed before nearly four thousand large and small wind wolves rushed to the location specified in the order, panting;

And among them, the dozen or so wolf packs closest to the headquarters, most of their members are advanced wolf species cultivated by mother trees No. 2 and 3 in these years, and almost all of their members are lord level and giant wind wolf level.

, there are no wind wolves or ordinary mortal wolves at all;

Subsequently, these resisting wolves were reviewed by the 'King' and accepted the order of 'external expansion'

When everything was ready on Nesta's side, the airship base next door had also completed the final tasks before liftoff.

In order to rush to the north this time, the headquarters has prepared 60 large transport airships, 25 escort airships, and one special transport airship;

The inert gas in their respective airbags is not full yet, and will be injected later before takeoff. They naturally have the ability to generate inert gas independently, but because the speed is far slower than the base's replenishment, the self-production capacity is limited.

Most of them are used for lifting and lowering adjustments after liftoff.

Jian Ya's speech undoubtedly convinced some participants, but some still held objections.

After telling a cold joke that no one could understand, he continued

When Nesta led the wolf pack to arrive, the rest of the elf team assigned to participate in this mission had also arrived;

"Sir Cynthia, fellow compatriots! Alexsta is here to report!"

"That's right, everyone should be on their way by now. Even the guards at the farthest base station should arrive within thirteen lights."

This unexpected 'instruction' really shocked the latter. Cynthia was dubious about the resulting document and found that all its regulations were in compliance with the mainland base station's secret letter regulations, and the seal belonging to the webmaster was intact. This

Only then did I truly believe that this was a genuine order from our headquarters.

‘Hello, Sir Cynthia, this is Second Lieutenant Alexstad, the *** base station guard chief, the base station identification code is *****.’

"Well, what about other than these four? If you can't draw your attention to the mainland base station, then you're losing a big deal."

The loading of the mission participants took about half an hour, and the flight preparations were also completed during this period, so after each hatch was closed, the airship group immediately entered the take-off stage.

"In addition, let her control her subordinates to complete the attack with the wind blade as much as possible, and no longer need to deliberately destroy the corpses. She only needs to remember the area where the armored soldiers left footprints, and clean up after the follow-up forces arrive."

"So what about the mainland base stations? No matter how high the airship flies, there is always a need to land. Now that the mainland base stations can remain hidden, no force has really noticed their existence for the time being;"

"That's too far and inappropriate. Are there any other wild areas nearby that look suitable for the survival of gregarious monsters?"

"Ooooooooo!!!"

"Oh~"

"The nearest point is 2,500 kilometers." A witch doctor replied.

"Guys, that's a total of 59 living individuals, and they are still the same size as us; without wings, it is not an easy task to send them into the sky."

"Well, of course it's not micro-manipulation like 'raising the muzzle by one centimeter'"

Nesta turned his head and ordered the Communications Department executive who was on standby next to him,

"Send a document to Mainland Base Station No. *** and forward it to Cynthia, granting her the temporary position of 'Commander-in-Chief of the Nine Base Stations on Site and Surrounding Areas';"

When reaching a certain altitude, gas begins to be generated in the power cabin located at the tail and is ignited;

The high-heat and high-pressure gas enters the conversion chamber and compresses the turbine blades inside to rotate at high speed. The main shaft at the center drives the huge propeller blades at the tail to rotate. Therefore, in addition to the lift brought by the air pressure difference, the airship also has the power needed to move forward.

of powerful motivation.

"But when they really raise their eyes to look at the sky, how long can the trajectory of those airships be hidden? When the hundreds of millions of intelligent creatures in the northern continent all look up to the sky, our exposure speed will definitely be far faster than imagined."

While several maintainers were still repairing the totem, Cynthia's ears heard the voice from the peripheral sentry.

"So, when this news is sent to the Mammoth King City, to the headquarters of the Rhine Emirates, and to the Blood Royal Court of the Tusk species, how will they view this problem? Will these northern civilization overlords be surprised by this, and

Turn your eyes to the sky?"

This height is obviously not enough to gain wisdom. This trip will take off 50,000 meters, with a planned speed of 220 kilometers/dh. It is expected to reach the ground in about 27 light hours, which is nearly 5,000 kilometers away.

land.

~~~~~~

Escape capsule crash point, 6:03 a.m.;

"How long will it take to destroy this thing?" Cynthia asked for the countless times.

However, the mainland's huge and incomparable population advantage has always been like a heavy stone hanging high above the head, in a state of being unable to fall;

As the second largest group of wolves in terms of population strength, the black forest instantly turned into a sea of ​​howling wolves.

After that, within an area of ​​millions of square kilometers, the lord wolves, leading their wolf packs, began to approach the headquarters.

"Humph, who made that guy keep pushing me? I hate him so much."

"There is indeed some. For example, the four closest continental base stations around it are in the wilderness where Warcraft is everywhere."

"It's extremely."

‘Huh? Let me do it. Support from the base station should arrive. You continue to be alert.’

"To act rashly under such circumstances is likely to expose our existence more and faster."

Agatha whispered a series of numbers into the ear of the 'idiot', and then after the latter thanked her, she muttered 'what's wrong with me' and continued to work.

Nesta placed the document on the table, looked up at the other members of the inner circle and asked.

"Agatha!"

Whether it is at sea or on land, the Black Forest and the mainland are separated by a long natural defense line that cannot be broken through in the traditional sense. This will prevent the hostility of the mainland from being projected here for a short period of time.

When Cynthia answered the sentry's question, the 'braid' on the back of her head also got into the 'rucksack' simultaneously, and activated several functions of the armor that are rarely effective in this form.

One, and after a period of delay, the explored information was transmitted to her thinking through external nerves.

The inert gas carries the inflated air bag, and together with the large hanging basket that is fully loaded below and placed close to the rear half of the bottom of the air bag, gradually hangs in the air.

Subsequently, under the command of the ground crew, a total of 86 airships of 3 types were launched in an orderly manner;

'Boom boom boom!'

"Indeed, it is still difficult to hide from their sight when you are conscious."

The mere existence of these powers cannot be considered a 'luxury'. But the subsequent entry of 130 witch doctors is definitely an unprecedented move.

'It is indeed seven elves. Judging from the time, they should be supported by the base station 320 kilometers northwest.'

Therefore, while Azshara is still in seclusion, the call to summon the wolves must be completed by Nesta himself.

"It doesn't matter if the line of sight is directed into the sky. An altitude of 30,000 meters is not something that any northern civilization can reach at the moment. Moreover, we can fly higher. If 30,000 meters is not enough, we can fly 50,000 meters. If not, we can fly 60,000 meters."

, 70,000 meters away, there is no way the barbarians can really discover us."

Not long after that, the distance between the two sides quickly shrunk to 'tens of meters', and the armored cockpit of the intruder also separated in the middle;

"Ha, even if it takes time to deal with 30,000 tied animals, let alone 30,000 living beings who can escape and resist?"

"The fall was witnessed, and the life reaction was undoubtedly exposed. What do you think? Is it necessary to use force to actively erase the traces, as Major Cynthia said?"

"I understand, the base station will release it first."

"clear!"

"The airship doesn't matter, but can the mainland base station be saved by then?"

'clear.'

"I don't think it's necessary."

"Haha, Major Cynthia is just anxious, don't be angry."

"They may realize that there is a species in this world that can use tools to fly in the sky."

"clear!"

After all the participants arrived, the wolf pack first got into the large transport boat under guidance. Most of its members looked a little frightened due to the huge air bag, but under the urging of each lord-level leader, they still managed to get into the large transport boat.

He got on the boat with his tail on his tail.

As for Cynthia, after confirming the identity of the other party, she finally responded with permission to approach.

As a result, the supporters who were parked five kilometers away started again, and soon appeared in the sight of the crash point;

"Okay, okay~ Agatha is not angry."

Afterwards, the soldiers on both wings raised their arms in salute, but a young soldier jumped out of the center station and walked quickly towards it.

"What is the identification code of the *** base station?"

On the Nesta side, after seeing that the opinions of all the members were basically unified, they also made a statement,

"The general direction can be based on Cynthia's plan, but the execution level still requires strategy."

"What's wrong? It will be fixed soon!"

'Please stop where you are and wait for a moment, the encoded message is being verified.'

The rough-toothed 'old opposition' fang shook his head, expressing that he did not agree with the former's point of view, and then spoke,

"The escape capsule has been witnessed, but for us, 034 Chengming doesn't know where it came from, and it doesn't really matter what kind of creature is inside. What we should care about is the association that will occur afterwards."

"Let her focus on blocking internal and external traffic for the time being, and don't worry about other things. The support of the nine base stations is still too weak. In addition to the more than 4,000 mammoth species in the inner city, Double King 034 also has more than 30,000 shelters.

Where are the people;”

~~~~~~~

Nowadays, Nesta and Azshara have actually replaced the Burrow Wolf as the real master of the wolf pack. He is by no means a dictator in the Republic, but he is almost the master of the pack among the wolves;

Lifting up a strand of purple hair that accidentally fell to the corner of her mouth, Nesta continued,

"I sent a message to tell her to put away her pride, avoid being careless, and pay attention to safety. As for the attack, we will wait for the follow-up forces of the headquarters to arrive before launching."

"The operation is possible, but we need to further cover it up. We cannot leave traces of civilization on the scene. It is best to cover up this operation like a monster attacking the city."

After that, the airship fleet gradually formed a formation according to their respective tasks.

Among them, there are combat boats guarding the upper, lower, left, and right sides, transport boats surrounded in the center, and a "special transport boat" named "Transportation" that actually has the strongest firepower, leading the way;

At this time, the airship fleet finally began to rapidly ascend five thousand meters, 10,000 meters, 20,000 meters, and 30,000 meters;

The 'Plenipotentiary Commander of the Nine Base Stations' who breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little more at ease in his heart immediately thanked Alexsta and asked,

"Thank you for your hard work. Mr. Second Lieutenant, and the six soldiers behind you, do you need a rest?"

"Sir! We don't need it. We can execute orders at any time."

"Very well, Lieutenant Alexstad. With the authority granted by my headquarters, I officially order you to take your men southeast to 034 to perform the interception mission. I will go after the escape capsule is destroyed!"

"clear!"

The second lieutenant saluted, and then set off towards the southeast with the remaining six soldiers.

About fifteen minutes later, Agatha and the engineers finally repaired the escape cabin's self-destruction system and activated it under Cynthia's instruction;

In the next few minutes, the fire and strong acid completely destroyed all the totem patterns inside and outside, as well as most of the cabin structure. Only some special materials that were both fire-resistant and strong acid-resistant were temporarily preserved, but they were later removed.

Agatha destroyed it herself.
