The main force of the Federal Floor Fleet began to slowly descend after it left the actual control of the Federal airspace. A huge fleet of hundreds of warships and transport ships took a lot of time just this simple sinking movement. When they landed less than 3,000 meters away from the ground, when the endless sea of ​​clouds was already above their heads, it was already June 11. The fleet's lookouts had even seen the last branch of the southern section of the Namoa Mountains, as well as the large area of ​​gloomy, quiet and deep green under their feet, covering the earth and the mountains.

This is a land that was known as the Land of Eternal Green in ancient times but is now called the dark forest. It is the birthplace of the elves and the vastest forest on this continent.

After the mountains in the distance, the destination of the fleet's trip - Heiman City. If you want to reach a place through the ground, people must go from a natural passage called the Iron Rock Canyon in the distance. Of course, although it is a canyon, the terrain there is actually very suitable for people and animals to pass through. The mountains and stone walls on both sides do look very steep, but a very spacious passage is naturally formed in the middle. The most spacious place can even accommodate a gathering of ten thousand people, and the narrowest place can also allow hundreds of cavalry to run and gallop.

Following the ancient sprints in the Iron Rock Canyon through the mountains and ridges of the southern line of the Namoa Mountains, and then walking to the north for a period of time, you will enter the most fertile Great Lakes in the north of the mainland. In ancient times, orcs moved south through the natural paths of the Iron Rock Canyon to invade the warm southern land. Therefore, the small human country in the south, with the support of the Vanya elves and the Iron Rock Dwarves, built a famous Iron Fist Fortress in the middle section of the Iron Rock Canyon, where the terrain was relatively narrow and dangerous, was used to resist the orc army from the north.

The Iron Fist Fortress did play its due role in nearly a thousand years of construction, but we also know what happened later. During the Qiming War, this "mortal" built a strong city facing the power of the true god. Under the fire of the hell of the King of Disaster, the entire fortress and the 70,000 troops in it turned into ashes. The royal family of the Iron Rock Dwarfs was all killed in battle, and the remaining dwarfs could only leave this sad place and surrender to the relatives and tribes in the other mountains. Therefore, the inheritance of the seven dwarfs who were qualified to compete for the position of the King of the Lumberg will be forever missing one family after that.

More than a thousand years have passed, and only the ruins of that year are left in the Iron Rock Canyon.

Of course, for the Federation that is high above and above, what happened on the ground seems to be a story of another world. The military rush and geographical danger on the ground have no meaning to them. No matter how steep the Namoan Mountains are, they can only cross the sky and become an obstacle to the advance of the army?

Of course, at this height of only 3,000 meters above the ground, it is indeed lower than many peaks in the mountains in the distance. The reason why I chose this height is to be able to see the ground clearly and avoid the enemy being able to swagger under his ship. At the same time, the main force of the fleet is also in an absolutely safe position. In this world, except for the strategic spells that some legendary casters or legendary warcraft can use, there is no attack that can hit from the ground to a height of 3,000 meters.

However, how many of the above two powerful beings are in the world?

Therefore, the mentality of the entire fleet from soldiers to headquarters is very relaxed. In their estimates, the real battle should only happen if the fleet arrives in the Heiman City area. Of course, even at that time, it is not worth nervous. It is a great time to earn military merit and win people's heads.

At least. That's what most young men born in the Aofa family think.

"I have already known the proposals you have submitted to the headquarters during this period."

The Nasipia, the only special battleship in the Federation, is decorated in a brilliant manner. It is not so much a military conference room as it is the first person in the uniform group in the federal military department. Marshal Sherman Conrad, who is 75 years old this year, sat upright on the head of the long conference table and said such a sentence. His speaking speed seemed a bit slow, which may be a manifestation of majesty in some people, but it can also be regarded as a manifestation of gentleness and lack of courage.

It seemed that some people were present to think so. At that moment, an officer who was about 34 or 35 years old, with the rank of major general and the three-star magical heraldry rose up half straight and asked anxiously: "So, what do you think? Can you approve our proposal?"

"Don't be impatient, Major General Lill Walker." Even in the face of his subordinates' almost out-of-conformity and force, the old marshal still had no angry attitude: "I understand your mood, but I also hope you can understand that under the current situation, as long as we maintain our driving height and move towards Heiman City step by step, we will definitely be invincible. Therefore, there is no need to cause trouble."

This sounds like the line of a small businessman who only wants to be content with small business, but he must be cautious and cautious in everything. However, he is not like a federal marshal. Even the beautiful female officer sitting on the small table behind the marshal made records and couldn't help but look at the old man more. Many people present with the generals and the school ranks showed unconciled expressions.

In theory, as the highest-ranking officer in the federal active duty (Russer is not a soldier, but a civil servant), Marshal Sherman Conrad is definitely not a waste of money to live.

Although he was also born in a magical family, before the Conrad family came out of a federal marshal, it was just a small local noble family, not a powerful family like Vilanbart or Dandy Lane. In addition, as a spellcaster, Conrad's talent was also very average. He received a 4-star badge at the age of 55 because of his qualifications and military merits.

Born to an ordinary person, he is by no means a genius. He can reach his current status, which means that he should be very outstanding in the field of military personnel.

At least, the Marshal's dazzling resume can prove this.

He has had the experience of leading the Federation and the Allied Team in large-scale land attack battles, and has also had great military achievements in commanding warships and fleets to defeat the superior enemies with fewer victories and more. He can be regarded as the most famous old general in the Federation at present.

Of course, Marshal Conrad's last time went to the battlefield was 25 years ago. After that, he was transferred back to the country and served as the chief of the capital's garrison, the Minister of Operations of the Ministry of Military Affairs, the Commander of the Guard Fleet, and until the final Marshal. The relatively stable situation of the Federation was indeed not the turn of a veteran to charge himself. So, this veteran of the Federation spent a quarter of a century in the bright and spacious offices and the lit and savored upper-class social gatherings in the capital.

The old marshal had already decided to retire after this year and return to his hometown to retire, but considering that, except him, no one seemed to be qualified to serve as the commander-in-chief of this expedition. Therefore, under the instigation of some good MPs, the 75-year-old man had to put on his battle robe and embark on his journey again.

"But, you, there are 50,000 elite warriors in this fleet, 1,500 powerful mage colleagues, and a hundred never-sinking sky castles. Even when facing a million troops of orcs or undead, they have the upper hand. Even if the King of Plague comes, they are not afraid at all. Then, is it too cautious to just the result of "undefeating this place"?" The person who spoke was a young mage who was probably not yet 30 years old, but he was already wearing the rank of colonel. He maintained his minimum respect for the commander and commander in his tone and expression. However, if you take a closer look at the content, you can feel the banter and sarcasm.

Just translate it. The content should actually be like this: "Old guy! Are you stupid? Our combat power is overwhelming, and a draw is equivalent to losing. At least you have to add seven or eight goals to everyone to get a bunch of cute data."

"Yes? Isn't this a typical passive slut..." A voice said silently. Although the voice was small, the person sitting in this conference room, regardless of his strength, was a spellcaster or a person with other professions. He was far beyond ordinary people's ears, so he naturally heard them.

A low laughter sounded inside the room, and the scene became awkward. However, before the marshal and other generals could speak, the beautiful young officer who was taking a record behind the conference table suddenly stood up, stretched out one hand and made a tight move, then waved his hand and pulled it in the air. However, he could only hear a panic scream from one corner of the long table of the conference. A figure seemed to be grabbed by an invisible thug, taken away from his seat, and smashed heavily to the ground.

"Lieutenant Colonel Fast, in accordance with the federal military rules, as an officer, he should be punished by disturbing military conventions and ridicule the court! As an officer, he should be punished by insulting the commander!" The young beautiful captain officer said with a stern face and insulted the cold tone.

The conference room suddenly felt an uproar. Some people showed a playful look, some frowned slightly, but most people were at a loss and were completely stunned. They didn't understand why the good military meeting suddenly started to shout and kill, and they suddenly fell into a state of panic.

"This, this... there is no need to do this, Captain Moore." A lieutenant colonel officer who had left the beautiful captain took a few steps forward and persuaded with a bitter face.

"Military orders are like a mountain! Is that just?" Captain Sai Xiliu, the staff officer of the Expeditionary Command, was still expressionless and had a solemn tone. Ordinary people even felt the murderous aura from her.

"Let him go, Captain Moore, Lieutenant Colonel Fast is just a joke, and he can't be blamed for insulting the commander." The old marshal's voice floated over slowly.

"Since it's the order of Lord Yuan." Sai Xiliu, who had a selfless face, finally nodded, let go of Lieutenant Colonel Fast, who had been pinched by his Arcane Hands, saluted the Marshal, and sat back on his chair.

It seemed that it was at this time that the arrogant noble officers in the conference room finally realized that this was the army, and their destiny's power of life and death was actually in the hands of this kind old man sitting on the main seat of the conference table.

The meeting continued to begin. At this time, the officers seemed to sit upright for several times, and finally they were as handsome as professional officers.

"You guys' ideas are indeed a plan that combines courage and wisdom." The old marshal made his opening remarks in a gentle tone, saying something that he probably didn't believe in himself. But there was no way. The so-called "one stick" had to give a sweet date. Just now, the stick was already hit by Sai Xilu. Now it's time to give some sweet dates. Isn't the so-called taming monkey just like this and keep patient and do it bit by bit?

"Of course, the brave and bravery is very important for an army like ours. But as an officer, I also hope that you can consider the issue more carefully." Sherman Conrad gently glanced at the officers present, not like a decisive military commander, but like a kind and kind old class teacher in the first and second grades of elementary school.

"We who hold up the sky naturally have an overwhelming advantage in combat power, but the terrain on both sides of the Namoan Mountains is too complex, and it is possible to hide hundreds of thousands of ambushers in the towering mountains and forests. In this case, if we want to achieve the due results, the biggest urgent task is to investigate and explore the surrounding situation, rather than the so-called comprehensive attack."

Even the enemy didn't know where to attack? She had to tell such a simple truth in a tone of teaching. Could it be that the officers present were all brainless? Sai Xiliu, who was sitting on the small table, trembled slightly, in order not to let others roll her eyes. She also tried her best to lower her head, and finally resisted the urge to slap the table.

"Let me say that, dear Sai Xiliu, don't be too keen on the IQ of the superiors. Especially in a decadent political and military system, there are so many idiots with their foreheads occupying key departments of the country and the military. So I don't want to count them. So, I don't object to you in the capital mixed system. However, one day when you find that you are sitting around you at an important work conference, you must keep calm. This is the reality of the world!"

Thinking of what Lu Xi said when he said goodbye to him in January this year, Sai Xiliu couldn't stop laughing, but it was really a matter of whether it was a pleasant laugh or a bitter laugh.

"In this way, according to the original plan, the main force of the fleet should maintain a height of 3,000 meters and pass through the mountainous areas directly above the Iron Rock Canyon. During this period, the Wingman Scouts and Flying Cavalry will conduct preliminary reconnaissance and exploration of the range of a hundred miles in a radius. If you can really find the main force of the enemy, it will not be too late to temporarily adjust the combat plan." The old marshal looked at the senior officers in the room, waited for ten seconds, and found that no one raised any questions, so he nodded: "Then, please do your own job and have a break."

The senior legions packed up their things and left the conference room. The Lieutenant Colonel Fast, who had just been cleaned up, stared at Sai Xiliu several times, and finally left in disappointment under the pull of his companions. Sai Xiliu's background is naturally not a secret in the top level of the army, but in the middle and lower levels of some powerful and powerful classes, they still hug the pipa half-covered. Because of this, this mystery brought her greater deterrence.

Someone once had a very malicious guess whether Sai Xiliu was "the illegitimate daughter of the old marshal" or the more over-the-top "the old marshal's canary", but he was patted by his "well-informed" companion on the shoulder, pointed to the sky, and sighed and said, "It's even better than that."

What kind of powerful magic is it? Many of the thorns in the fleet have truly experienced this during this period. This little girl who is just over 20 years old, a senior combat mage with a strength of 3 stars. Her decisive aura when encountering a crisis is like a veteran who has experienced many battles, and she also carries several priceless magic equipment. No matter how you look at it, she should be the heir who has put a lot of energy into training by a certain aristocrat.

However, I haven't heard of a noble family in the Federation with the surname "Moore"?

As a recorder, Sai Xiliu was often the last one to leave the conference room because she had to sort out the information. However, today, when she sorted out all the information and put it into the archives, she found that there was actually one person in the conference room, which was Marshal Sherman Conrad.

"Your Excellency?" Sai Xiliu stood at attention quickly.

"Stay a little bit, Miss Sai Xiliu." The old marshal smiled, "I used to think that you girl is too serious. This is actually easy to make yourself nervous. In fact, it is unnecessary. Although we are an army, we have never been a serious army."

"It's just too unserious." Sai Xiliu thought to herself. She remembered the young people trained in Karin's orphanage, and had to admit in her heart that the central army, which the federal government spends so much money every year, is worse than those orphans who have received military training for several years...at least in terms of the temperament of rigorous and serious soldiers, it is really far behind.

Even the Central Army is like this. Not to mention the local noble private soldiers who account for half of this expeditionary force.

"However, as the commander, I lack majesty so much. I have to let my subordinates decide to save the situation. I am really incompetent." The old marshal said in a self-deprecating tone.

If it were other leaders who said this, they would have to think about whether the other party was saying something "heart-killing", whether they were blaming themselves for interfering in their affairs or mocking themselves for being in the limelight. However, after spending so much time with Marshal Conrad, Sai Xilu knew that the other party's usual behavior was, and what he said must be the truth now.

"Anyway, thank you, Miss Saixilu."

"No...Your Excellency, as a member of the General Staff, you have the obligation and responsibility to maintain your authority over the military command system, especially during military meetings. Therefore, everything is my job today and I cannot be thankful for you." Saixiliu said seriously.

"I heard a lot of resentment from you." The old marshal couldn't help but laugh: "Although he is such a beautiful and kind little girl, although he looks serious and polite, his aggressiveness in his words is very powerful. Who did he learn this from?"

Who did you learn from? Sai Xiliu suddenly thought of the very familiar voice that had been around for almost half a year. She felt sweet in her heart, but then she realized her disobedience. She blushed and buried her head.

With the experience of the old marshal, he naturally could see the psychological activities of a girl who could be his granddaughter at such an age. She smiled even more crampedly, but she did not "take the victory" to take advantage of the victory. He pondered for a moment, and then said: "Today, you have seen the proposals of these young officers before?"

Since it was the main thing, Sai Xiliu switched from the girl mode of the Huicun who missed men to the elite staff mode: "It's not that there is no executability. But the unpredictable danger is too great. Break the fleet into pieces and search the nearby mountains in a careful formation method. It can indeed increase our chances of discovering the main force of the enemy, but it is more likely that it will be surrounded and annihilated by the enemy's superior forces and defeated by them."

The old marshal nodded, but asked deliberately: "However, if he uses the ability of a federal warship, even if he really encounters an advantageous force, he can quickly float up to a high altitude. Even if he can't beat him, he should be able to run away, right?"

"... Marshal, since the undead and orcs dare to provoke such a large-scale campaign near the Black Man City, it is clearly forcing our country to dispatch its main force to aid, and it can be said that they have already had the effect, at least with a certain ability to fight against our floating warships. Otherwise, the above practice would be absolutely foolish." Sai Xiliu said: "I think that those who think of the enemy as a fool must be fools."

Marshal Conrad looked at Sai Xiliu seriously and nodded mutely: "You can see something that a 20-year-old girl can't see it, but most of the senior officers in this fleet can't see it. This is the ridiculous thing about our army!"

Hearing this, Sai Xiliu hesitated for a moment, and his words became more intense: "I personally think that the officers who proposed this combat plan only thought of their personal achievements. As for the overall federal fleet and even the safety of the military and civilians in Heiman City, they did not care at all."

"For most of the private armies of aristocratic families who were temporarily recruited, and those of their families with the rank of senior officers, this was not a battlefield that they should take seriously, but a grand gilded outing. Such a half-baked pride mentality is the most likely disaster to bring on the battlefield. If these noble families have irreparable consequences because of their arrogance and stupidity, at that time, Miss Saixilu...what do you think we should go?"
