Even before the exercise began, Zhan knew that this was a real battle. The reason was simple: they wanted to start a revolution.

From ancient times to the present, revolutions require bloodshed and sacrifice. If not enough people die and not enough blood is shed, then it is not called a revolution, but called playing house. In the first industrial revolution, many textile workers were separated from their families and their families were destroyed.

, but their corpses and blood did not stop the pace of the Industrial Revolution. In the French Revolution, countless nobles were guillotined, and their severed heads could be piled up into a mountain. By analogy, any revolution in the world, regardless of

Whether it is the social system or science and technology, it will cause chaos. There is no reason why this time should be an exception, not to mention that this is a complete reform of the Sorcerous Empire from beginning to end.

Even if the Rainbow Council is willing to accept Zhan En's leadership, it does not mean that the other ruling classes are also willing to surrender. By that time, Zhan En will definitely kill a river of blood. The nine tribes are involved in everything, and maybe they can be eradicated.

It's not impossible - if you think about it carefully, you can almost start thinking about how to design a guillotine now.

It is precisely because of this that Zhan's order to Hank and others is to "annihilate them all"... Yes, this is a collision between the old and new forces, and when it comes to the life and death of the Sorcerous Empire, the old forces cannot do it casually.

Let's just deal with it. What they bring out must be elite main forces loyal to the old forces, so as long as the main forces they rely on are crippled, scattered, and destroyed. Even if these guys want to overturn the world, I'm afraid they won't be able to do so.

As for what Hank plans to do...it depends on his own choice. And all he has to do now is just watch the fun here. Other things are not his business.

Thinking of this, Zhan couldn't help but yawned, and then leaned on his seat.

Noon has arrived.

Captain Balk looked at his pocket watch, then raised his head and looked at the sky in front of him. There was nothing in front of him, not even a bird could be seen. But this was nothing to Captain Balk.

It's a good thing, he doesn't know the performance of the opponent's warships, nor the number of the opponent's warships - although this is the same for the enemy, but after seeing those strange warships before, Captain Balk still has reservations about this

A certain degree of doubt and uneasiness. In any case, people are always afraid of things they don’t understand.

Of course, the Sorcerous Empire United Fleet is not without its advantages. Their biggest advantage lies in their familiarity with this place. This mountain range is quite large. During this period of time, Balke and others have already taken advantage of their local advantages to move this area.

After exploring this area, it can be said that Balk knows every corner of this map very well. And compared to Academy City's fleet, they obviously have an advantage in this regard.

"Contact the task force immediately and ask them to send the Griffin Legion to conduct a diffusion patrol. Once a target is discovered, immediately send a signal to report! All fleets, the first defense formation, if there are any abnormalities, report them at any time!"

After thinking for a moment, Balk decided to stand still for the time being. To be on the safe side, he planned to use the geographical advantage to ensure his victory. After all, he was more familiar with the situation here than the opponent. In this situation, no matter which direction the opponent starts attacking from

, can allow Balk to make effective arrangements and countermeasures. On the other hand, if the other party is not familiar with this place, they will naturally want to explore. If they can encounter the other party when they are exploring, then they will take the initiative.

.

I just don’t know how the other party will carry out investigation operations?

"No trace of enemy ships has been detected nearby."

"I also guessed it would be like this..."

After hearing the adjutant's report, Hank sighed, but he quickly cheered up and looked at the screen in front of him.

"In short, first understand the surrounding situation, and then determine the next action plan...order the reconnaissance fleet to release probes, start area scanning, and prepare to encrypt the transmission data link...the magic wave has stabilized at 2.5."

"Don't you need to block the magic power fluctuations?"

"No need, the other party in this area must be more familiar with us than us. If they can detect the magic power fluctuations we emit, then they might take action. Acting rashly will only make us passive. There is no reason why the other party will not give us

Set a trap, in that case, let’s set the bait in reverse and see if they can take the bait!”

Following Hank's order, several crystal-shaped cones less than a person's height were quietly released from the reconnaissance fleet ahead. They swayed into the sky like balloons, and after arriving at the designated target location

Stopped, and then, faint rays of magic light emerged from the surface of the crystal cone, turning into invisible magic waves, spreading around.

"Magic fluctuations were discovered in the southeast!!"

When receiving the magical communication from the Griffin Knight, Captain Balk showed a proud smile. In his opinion, the other party was already like a prey caught in the spider's web, just waiting for him to prey. But...

"Report, magic power fluctuations were found in the northeast!"

"There are magic fluctuations in the true north!"

"There are magic fluctuations in the northwest...the fifth, sixth, and eighth teams are conducting searches!"

"How is that possible?"

Hearing the continuous reports, Captain Balk's face suddenly sank. It was a good thing that the other party did not conceal his magic power fluctuations, but as of now, they simply opened the battle line.

What do they want to do? Could it be that they plan to launch an attack in the form of a head-on confrontation? Could it be that the other party does not understand command at all? This method may be somewhat effective on the ground, but it is completely unworkable in the sky.

ah!

However...according to the intelligence, the opponent's fleet commander is just a low-level mage apprentice and has never received formal military training before. It is not surprising that he would behave like this. In fact, the recruits of the military academy

, and often make similar mistakes.

Victory may be easier than imagined...

Thinking of this, Captain Balk couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, held the hat in his hand, and smiled a little. However, to be cautious, he ordered the gryphon knights to continue their investigation and be sure to find the point where the magic fluctuation occurred. If they could

Therefore, if they find the location of the fleet, then they will have won half of the war!

However, at this moment, Captain Balk received unexpected news.

"The magic wave has disappeared?"

"Yes, according to the reports of various Griffin Knight teams, all the magic power fluctuations that appeared before have disappeared, and there is no residue!"

"this……………"

Hearing this, Captain Balk couldn't help but be dumbfounded for a moment. Magical battleships will all produce magic fluctuations because they are driven by magic. Therefore, in fleet battles, detecting magic fluctuations basically means that they can find

It is the hiding place of the opponent's fleet, but it is rare for the magic power fluctuation to be detected and then disappear. Generally speaking, there are only two possibilities. Either the opponent's warship blocked the magic power fluctuation, or the opponent's warship crashed.

But as of now, it doesn't look like the second possibility, so the only thing left is...

Maybe he sensed something was wrong, so he didn't react to block the magic?

Thinking of this, Captain Balk couldn't help but shook his head. In his opinion, this kind of mistake was only made by newcomers, and it was not surprising that it would happen to the other party. In Balk's view, perhaps the other party sent a fleet

After entering the venue, he forgot to shield the magic power fluctuations. After that, he realized something was wrong and hurriedly took corrective measures - this is also in line with the identity and behavior of these recruits.

"Order the gryphon knights to explore along the direction of the magic power fluctuations to see if they find anything, and report back immediately if they find anything!"

After receiving the order, the gryphon knights immediately began to search in all directions, but they did not know that at this moment, their actions were completely under Hank's surveillance.

"It seems that the enemy has noticed our magic fluctuations..."

Looking at the flashing life light spots on the command screen, Hank snorted softly. The magic wave that erupted before was the wave of the probe, which was used to scan the nearby terrain and environment, and was also responsible for detection. Of course,

Hank also used it as a bait, but he didn't expect that the Sorcerous Empire's response was not slow and found the key point so quickly. It should be said that they are well-trained elite troops, but it seems to be a bit underestimated.

They are.

"What's next, Captain?"

"Um……………"

Hearing the adjutant's inquiry, Hank fell into thinking. In just a moment, he had already thought of a very risky, but very worthwhile plan. However, it is difficult to say what the outcome will be, but...

...If the other party's response is exactly as expected...

"Send a reconnaissance fleet to drive away the enemy at the eleven o'clock direction. Just let them confirm the existence of the reconnaissance fleet and don't initiate an attack. I don't think the opponent is stupid enough to use griffin knights to attack the metal battleship. At the same time, try your best to

Expand the search scope, it is best to find where these gryphon knights come from, launch the probe to further explore the unknown area, and turn on the encryption mode."

"Is this good?"

Upon hearing Hank's order, the adjutant couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, but Hank nodded and showed a confident smile.
Chapter completed!
