Hogwarts Summoning Guide

Although she received Bai Lin's reply and knew that he would join the battle in time, Yan Nishuang was still quite uneasy. She still vividly remembered the battle on the Yunhu cruise ship and the battle at the shore cemetery. The tragic deaths of her comrades made her unable to let go of the pain for a long time. Looking at the mages invited by the Executive Department this time, she wondered how many more people would perish in this operation.

Because of the importance attached to the Ship of Light and the anger towards Fujiwara Ichiura, the Executive Department mobilized almost all its elite forces this time. Dozens of top experts were dispatched from more than 30 executive branches across the country, and more than 30 reclusive mages were invited from some famous sects. This operation was comparable to the siege of Bright Peak by the nine major sects. Moreover, the operation was swift, taking only one day to assemble and prepare before boarding this magic airship to strike at the heart of the enemy. It was a case of a lion hunting a rabbit, with victory in its grasp.

But the thought of not knowing if there were any traitors like Li Kang within the Executive Department made Yan Nishuang feel uneasy.

This operation was led by Zhang Quanshu, the current deputy director of the Spell Enforcement Department, with Yan Nishuang as one of his deputies. The main task was to dispatch reconnaissance teams as scouts to understand the enemy's movements. That's why the female mage came to inquire about the reconnaissance situation. However, four reconnaissance teams were sent out in succession, but they seemed to have sunk without a trace. This sea area was far from the mainland, with a wide sea surface, but the cloud cover was very low, limiting aerial visibility. Yan Nishuang couldn't determine for a moment whether the reconnaissance teams had encountered the enemy or gotten lost.

A tall, bearded man emerged from the main cabin of the airship. He was Zhang Quanshu, the commander of this operation. He looked somewhat anxious, and Yan Nishuang quickly went to greet him.

Zhang Quanshu said, "Immediately dispatch the fifth and sixth reconnaissance teams, this time with GPS. There may be a magical magnetic field in this sea area, and the airship's magical anchor point may have been affected."

In these field missions, mages use magical anchor points to determine the flagship's location. However, if they encounter the magical magnetic field at sea, the positioning may become inaccurate, which is why they never return. The target location is also determined using magical anchor points. At this point, the mages also felt some interference with the anchor point information they obtained. They only knew that the target was still hundreds of kilometers to the east, but the exact location was somewhat vague.

Yan Nishuang looked at the four young men who had gathered. The staff had given each of them a small device. Many Western wizards disdained to use such satellite positioning devices that ordinary people used, but Eastern wizards were pragmatic and focused on completing the mission, so completing the mission was their top priority.

Yan Nishuang said, "I will personally lead the team on a trip, and I will report any discoveries immediately!"

Zhang Quanshu nodded, and Yan Nishuang summoned her kite mount. The other members watched enviously as she jumped onto the kite and flew down, then quickly mounted their own flying brooms and followed.

Yan Nishuang gestured to the team members behind her. She herself took the center position, and the four young men split into two teams, one on the left and one on the right, each about twenty kilometers apart, and advanced eastward together to search the sea for any suspicious vessels.

The further east she went, the thicker the clouds became. She couldn't see the stars when she looked up, and all she could see was the dark sea when she looked down. Even though Yan Nishuang was a magical prodigy, she couldn't help but feel uneasy. She had been flying at high speed for more than half an hour, and she should be less than fifty kilometers away from her destination, but she still hadn't found anything. The information about the magical anchor point was becoming more and more blurred, and it was almost nonexistent.

Yan Nishuang lowered her altitude and speed. Suddenly, a huge black shadow swam past in the seawater beneath her feet, startling her. However, she quickly realized that it seemed to be a whale. She cursed herself for making a fuss over nothing. But when she came to her senses, she found that the barely visible magical anchor point had simply disappeared.

Yan Nishuang panicked. On this dark and vast sea, without anchor information, finding a ship was like finding a needle in a haystack. She gritted her teeth and increased her flying speed. Logically, the target should be right in front of her. She put on the invisibility cloak used by the execution department and instantly became like a ghost on the sea, skimming across the surface like the wind.

Yan Nishuang focused her magic into her eyes, and a beautiful golden mark appeared on her forehead. This was a very ancient talismanic spell, which ancient sorcerers often called "opening the heavenly eye." In reality, it was an integration of functions such as night vision, micro-vision, and thermal sensing, which could greatly improve reconnaissance capabilities in complex environments.

After searching the sea for a while, she finally spotted a suspicious spot. Flying closer, she discovered it was a small boat that had already sunk below the surface.

Okinawa was known as the Ryukyu Islands in ancient times. It has many small islands and many coral reefs around it. This small boat was fixed to a huge reef with iron chains. Due to the rising tide, the reef was submerged by seawater, and the small boat also sank into the sea.

Yan Nishuang knew she had fallen into a trap. Clearly, the magical anchor point provided in the intelligence was on this small boat, not the ship of light's sea base at all.

Just as she was consumed by anger and preparing to notify the main force on the airship, a light gray magical barrier instantly appeared around them, covering an area of ​​several hundred meters in radius. A voice suddenly rang out: "Since you're here, don't go back!..."

At the same time, two hundred kilometers away, an unidentified object appeared on the magic radar of the airship. Zhang Quanshu stood on the scabbard, looking at a group of red dots approaching from the sea ahead on the radar with a furrowed brow.

"Director Zhang, judging from the speed and size, it's probably a pod of whales," said a staff member wearing thick glasses.

"Master Fang, please lead your men to investigate! Set up the airship on high alert and activate the protective shields!" Zhang Quanshu ordered.

An old Taoist priest responded in a low voice, and with a few disciples, he took out paper cranes and flew down from the airship. Before long, they saw a group of humpback whales floating on the sea, occasionally emitting long whale calls.

Old Master Fang breathed a slight sigh of relief, but just as he was preparing to return, a beam of light shot out from the whale pod at a speed almost reaching the speed of sound. Old Master Fang was alarmed. There was no time to dodge, so he held the whisk he had been gripping tightly in front of him, and a white shield immediately formed. The beam of light crashed heavily into the shield, almost knocking Old Master Fang off the paper crane and into the sea. But thanks to his years of cultivation, he managed to block it.

However, before Master Fang could call his disciples to retreat, dozens or even hundreds of beams of light shot out from the seawater, completely enveloping them.

At the same time, a colossal object gradually rose from the seabed; it was a strangely shaped submarine. The hatch on top of the submarine opened, and a missile was ignited and launched, its target the Eastern airship in the sky.
