"Attention everyone, we have entered the airspace above the Dukedom of Oufei, and we may come into direct contact with hostile forces at any time. From now on, all ships will enter the second-level combat readiness state."

After the white bird had been operating secretly in the sky for half a month, it finally moved over the Dukedom of Ophir.

According to previous intelligence, the armies of the two princes had already begun attacking the Dukedom of Ophir - but more than a month had passed, and the Dukedom of Ophir had still not fallen.

It is autumn now, and soon the Dukedom of Oufei, located in the north of the continent, will enter a freezing period. At that time, it will be difficult to continue the war.

Therefore, whether it is the eldest prince or the second prince, the goal should be to capture the Dukedom of Ophi before the arrival of winter.

"What is the current status of the Grey Eagle Squadron?"

"The pilots have too little flying time. If they directly participate in the battle, they may suffer combat casualties. I guess we have to wait until Miss Qianyun comes back to assist in training before we can officially join the battle sequence."

During this period, Jiang Yue has been improving the design of the flying squadron. So far, three ground attack aircraft that can be used in actual combat have been completed. The pilot does not need to have strong personal strength. As long as he can adapt to the magical properties required by the control system, he can fly this thing and throw powerful carbon-uranium bombs at the enemies on the ground.

However, since the pilot must be a magician who can release magical powers, there are less than ten people who meet the requirements.

"Then don't include it in the combat formation for now. Dark Wing, the battle site marked in the previous intelligence is directly below us. I need you to go down and investigate the situation in advance."

[Understood, Dark Wing is ready to set off. ]

"No matter what the situation, your top priority is to ensure your own survival - this is an order."

After giving clear orders, Aarons immediately sat in the captain's seat in the navigation room.

This cabin has been specially modified to receive his mental power and quickly transmit it to every part of the hull - in an emergency, he can control all the functions of the entire ship by himself.

"Dark Wing Squad, begin landing and reconnaissance. All ships, await further instructions."

The thick clouds unique to this season completely blocked the white bird's vision and mental detection, so Aarons could not obtain any useful information before the Dark Wing Squad landed near the ground.

On standby beside him at this time were all the female members except Her Royal Highness the Princess - everyone had to be responsible for a part of the command work in order to effectively share Aarons' pressure.

[Dark Wing is descending and will leave the clouds in twenty seconds.]

The anxious waiting time did not last long.

When the Dark Wing Squad, who were rapidly descending to the ground in an optical stealth aircraft made of the same material as the ship, sent a video signal and an emergency reply, Aarons became tense.

[Dark Wing reports! There is a battle going on below... I saw three warships and a large army of at least several thousand people! They are attacking a fortress!]

"Got it! Zoom in the picture!"

[Captain! That fortress should belong to Duke Oufei! Dark Wing will try to land there! ]

In the images sent back by the Dark Wing Squad, Aarons saw two huge armies attacking from different directions a fortress whose outer walls were mostly destroyed.

Long-range magic of different attributes streaked across the sky, bombarding the fortress's still effective but already crumbling barrier.

Similar magic continued to fly out from the fortress, slowly but accurately landing on the location where the soldiers gathered outside.

But even though the two sides seemed to be in a balance, the approaching legion made it obvious that the fortress's defenses could collapse at any time.

[The flags of the two legions clearly belong to different forces, and the three warships have not yet entered combat mode.]

Every second, someone was losing their life due to the explosion of magic, but this tense battle showed no signs of stopping.

"Such a large military force...are these people crazy!"

Aarons originally thought that the two princes only intended to threaten Duke Oufei so that this third-party force would not be able to act rashly - but the battlefield below told him that the two parties actually planned to temporarily join forces to eliminate this weakest destabilizing factor.

[Dark Wing report...Captain, we are trying to land, any instructions for the next step? ]

"Contact the commander there and tell them we will try to provide support...it would be best if we can find someone who knows us!"

But in such a chaotic situation, Aarons didn't expect anyone below to remain rational.

"Everyone on the ship, listen up! The White Bird is now beginning its emergency descent! All lower weapon stations are activated, ready for battle!"

……

Although the aircraft had optical camouflage, the Dark Wing Squad was immediately noticed by the nervous magician as soon as they approached the fortress.

In order to avoid causing accidental injuries to friendly forces, Dark Wing No. 1 took the initiative to jump off the aircraft alone, and was then surrounded by a large group of murderous soldiers.

"Don't attack! We are the reinforcements sent by Marquis Aarons! Let the commander here contact the Marquis as soon as possible!"

"…Reinforcements? Where will the reinforcements come from at a time like this?"

Although the tense soldiers looked exhausted and extremely excited, they still retained the last bit of rationality - a magician immediately released a bright magic ball of light, sending a signal to the others who had no time to pay attention to this side.

"There's a strange intruder here who says he was sent by Marquis Aarons! Ask the mercenary leader to come over!"

Following a loud roar from the messenger, a man with scars all over his protective gear hurriedly ran over from the front-line sentry tower.

Even though it was covered in dust, the man still looked very handsome and resolute... But at this time, no one cared about his appearance.

"What's going on? Who mentioned the Marquis of Aarons?"

"It's me, Your Excellency. The Marquis is ready to support Duke Oufei's troops. Please use this to contact him for details."

When No. 1 took out his communicator and handed it over, the man grabbed the small black square box without hesitation, brought it to his mouth and roared.

"Hey! Master, is that you? I don't know how you're going to help us, but you'd better hurry up! We're running out of magic stones!"

[Got it... Tsk, why are you everywhere? 】

"Boss! Stop joking now! Those bastards have been attacking us for five days! If this fortress is lost, the Duke will have no time to mobilize troops!"

Because the volume of the communicator was deliberately turned up very loud, No. 1 also heard Aarons' reply.

But after hearing Aarons' obviously unhappy smacking of lips, she let out a long sigh of relief.

It seems that my luck is good.

[Okay, now everyone who calls the Duke should hide inside the outer wall of the fortress immediately.]

"Yes, yes, yes... Hurry up and get everyone back! Hurry up!"

[Then I will start the attack... Don't say later that your good brother didn't help you.]

Listening to the subtle reply coming from the communicator, the handsome man couldn't help but reach out and wipe his forehead, wiping away the cold sweat that didn't actually exist on his head.
