Lord of Industrialization

"Report to the headquarters, the bakery in the Sampaio Castle started to light a fire before dawn."

Before breakfast started, this important intelligence was reported step by step to the Western Front Corps Staff.

The staff ordered three powered delta-wing aircraft of the Air Force Experimental Brigade to take off and conduct reconnaissance in the three directions of due west, northwest and southwest.

On the ground, the entire army entered a state of war, checked weapons and equipment, and entered the corresponding deployment positions.

The soldiers who were originally a little relaxed suddenly became nervous. The veterans were ready to fight. Some recruits were uneasy in their hearts, but they did not dare to show it on their faces.

In the blue sky, Hannah drove a huge powered delta-wing and flew due west according to the terrain and compass instructions.

Today, the wind is not strong and there is no cloud and fog, which is suitable for flight reconnaissance.

This powered delta-wing is a reinforced version developed after the last accident. The frame uses high-strength magic reinforced steel pipes, and the power is two larger engines. The driver's seat can seat two people in front and behind.

Hannah sat in the driver's seat at the back, and the operator in front was carefully fiddling with a camera.

This camera is fixed on a tripod, with the same boxes on the left and right, one for film, and the other for thin silk white cloth, which can see the same projection as the film at the same time.

Hannah kept the powered delta wing at an altitude of more than 4,000 meters. The wings were painted with camouflage consisting of dark blue, light blue and gray, which was not easy to see on the ground.

Almost an hour later, the operator in front shouted excitedly: "There is something going on at 10 to 11 o'clock, by the river!"

Hannah immediately looked back at the position of the sun, operated the powered delta wing, and flew to the target under the cover of the sun.

Ten military camps were built along the river, and smoke rose from the camps. Many people walked back and forth between the camps and the river, probably fetching water for breakfast, and some people began to pack up their tents, obviously preparing to set off.

Hannah reported the military situation to the headquarters, and the operator took pictures of the camps with a camera.

The two discussed and the powered delta wing lowered its altitude so that the camera could take clearer pictures.

Someone below saw a strange "big bird" in the sky. No one cared at first, but soon someone realized that something was wrong.

Two griffins carried the knights into the air. Hannah and her team discovered it in time and turned around and retreated immediately after taking the last photo.

Griffins live in the south and are afraid of cold. The weather is around zero degrees now, and it is even colder in the morning. They don't fly fast at first, and they need to warm up slowly to speed up.

Hannah increased the speed of the powered delta wing to the maximum, climbing while flying.

Four people, two griffins and a powered delta wing flew eastward.

The voice of the headquarters came from Hannah's headset: "Jin Gua Bao, this is the bread oven, report the situation."

She immediately reported: "This is Jin Gua Bao, report to the bread oven, there are two griffins following us, about three kilometers away, they can't catch up."

The headquarters said: "Jin Gua Bao, take the guests to the sky above Lake No. 3, the lower the better."

Hannah replied: "Jin Gua Bao understands."

Lake No. 3 is a large lake about 20 kilometers away from the fortress, with grassland and sparse woods on the lakeside.

Hannah slowed down her flight speed. The griffin behind her saw the strange "monster" in front slow down, and immediately accelerated and sprinted.

But their sprint was in vain. When the distance between the two sides was less than two kilometers, Hannah suddenly accelerated in a short time, and the distance between the two sides stopped shortening and gradually widened.

Hannah controlled the powered delta wing to repeat the acceleration and deceleration, just like a wounded prey that sometimes desperately escaped, but lacked stamina and could only accumulate strength and desperately again.

The distance between the two sides kept sawing between two kilometers and one kilometer. Generally speaking, it was gradually shortening and the altitude was getting lower and lower.

Lake No. 3 appeared in front of her, and Hannah's headset had never heard a voice: "Jinguabao, this is Cat's Claw, do you see a particularly tall tree at your one o'clock position?"

Hannah replied: "Cat's Claw, Jinguabao can see that tree." The tree was four or five hundred meters away from the lake, more than ten meters higher than the surrounding trees, and it was particularly obvious.

The other side said: "Jin Gua Bao, take the guests across the lake and fly between the trees and the lake at an altitude of two to three hundred meters."

Hannah replied: "Jin Gua Bao understands."

She spent half a second planning the route, and the powered delta wing lowered the altitude and increased the speed at the same time, but the speed slowed down suddenly when it was on the lake.

The griffin behind was also exhausted, and when it exhaled, its nostrils were like a boiling kettle, spraying two white air columns.

The griffin knight saw that the strange guy suddenly slowed down, and the leader made a gesture, not to rush up, keep the pressure, and let it land by itself.

They had never seen this thing before, and they were afraid that the high-speed rotating thing would fly over and cut themselves if they got close.

Now it seems to have a problem, so wait for it to fall by itself.

Hannah flew over the woods at the height of the treetops, and the two griffins were five or six hundred meters behind her.

A fierce gunshot suddenly rang out in the woods.

Hannah had received shooting training, but she had only fired at the shooting range and had never heard so many gunshots at the same time.

A battalion of the 33rd Regiment had just gone to help someone settle accounts a few days ago, and camped nearby last night. They immediately rushed to set up an ambush after receiving the order from the headquarters.

Almost all the people in the battalion hid in the trees, and opened fire at the same time when the two griffins flew close.

The infantry had anti-aircraft shooting training, and the two griffins were instantly covered by dense bullets.

The empty bullets fell on the lake in the distance, splashing countless water, as if it was raining.

The griffin has leather armor on its abdomen to defend against arrows from the ground, but it is extremely powerless in front of bullets.

The two griffin knights realized that the griffin was finished, and immediately released the buckle and jumped to the woods below.

The air cavalry had magic props for landing. The height of more than 200 meters was not a problem. The problem was that they found themselves surrounded as soon as they landed.

The two griffin knights took out two short magic wands as long as their arms from behind. After the magic circle on them was activated, a large earth-yellow magic-shaped shield appeared on one, and a mace and a battle axe appeared on the other.

The two stood back to back, covering each other and preparing to meet the enemy.

"Bang!"

A new recruit on their side was nervous for a moment and fired without waiting for orders.

"[Madra Kingdom swear word]!" The knight who was shot and injured lay on the ground covering his wound, "You can't treat a noble baron like this!"

He was ready to die in battle. If it was an ordinary injury, it would be nothing to endure it, but the shot just now was too weird, and the wound left was too shameful for the warrior.

The bullet hit his buttocks, hit the right gluteus maximus and flew out, then plunged into the left gluteus maximus and flew out, leaving four bullet holes.

The other knight did not want to die, and now seeing his companion "seriously injured", he immediately shouted: "We surrender, we demand the treatment that nobles deserve, you must treat my companion!"

It is shameful to surrender without a fight, but surrendering for the injured companion is another matter.

So the Wesson army captured two prisoners.
