Roddy had brought the two of them along to let Merinthra understand the current situation. After all, as a high-rank Magician who could cast spells in the anti-magic field, she could be considered a powerful trump card. As for Naifei, she had the talent of "Elemental Vision" and had a deep understanding of mechanical puppets. It would be great if she could improve it, but even if she couldn't, she could at least learn more about it and prepare for joining the research department in the future.
Sodelor knew that Roddy didn't want to interrupt the communication, so he nodded and turned back to talk to the pilot. As the two of them communicated, Rody and the others also felt the convenience of the 'current affairs communication'. As the reconnaissance aircraft flew at a low altitude, they could clearly see what the enemy was wearing. In addition, the pilot had an excellent memory. After a few days, they could even roughly distinguish the characteristics of the people in each area. Therefore, even if they only communicated through words, they could still transmit a lot of information.
The routine reconnaissance lasted for twenty minutes, and it was time for the plane to return. Just as Sodelor was about to turn off the communication circle, the pilot suddenly shouted, "What's that? Wait … something is flying toward me! "
The people in the room all looked surprised. Sodelor's expression became serious. He grabbed the microphone again and asked, "Tell me, what's going on?"
He didn't have time to say "over", and the pilot on the other side had obviously lost his cool. Although he tried to maintain his voice, his anxiety was obvious. "There are a few strange flying objects in the enemy's camp. They are following me …"
"Those things are very fast, and they are obviously chasing me. Damn it, there are three of them! No! Four of them! "
Sodelor didn't know what to do because he had never flown a plane before. But Roddy walked to the side and said to the microphone, "Where are you flying toward?"
"South bank of Lamu River, east by north …"
"Don't try to change direction. If you change direction, you will close the distance! Try to climb at full speed! "
The noise of the propellers immediately became louder, but the pilot quickly shouted, "I can't shake them off! Those things are getting faster and faster. They're already dozens of meters behind me. Damn it, what the hell are those things? "
The quality of the voice began to deteriorate, which meant that the communication circle was about to reach its limit. Everyone in the room listened to the pilot's anxious words, but found that they could do nothing — because the pilot was several kilometers away in the sky. If they went to the top of the tower now, they would probably only see a black shadow, let alone help.
Even Merlinsera, who had always been calm, clenched her fists. Naifei's little face tensed up. She was about to speak to Roddy when she heard a loud noise from the other end of the phone.
Crack!
Bang!
Without waiting for the other party to continue speaking, Roddy immediately shouted, "Jump! Jump now! "
However, a series of violent collisions and static came from the other end of the communication circle, followed by the silence after the signal was lost.
Roddy didn't waste any time. He immediately turned around and said, "Organize a rescue. The Baby Shadow Dragons can bring us to the crash site … Merlinsera, Natha!"
Natha quickly appeared outside the door. "I'm here."
"Let's go! Let's go save them. "
"Roddy!"
Sodelor stopped him. "No one can go, but you … We don't know what the situation is now. We can't let anything happen to the Prime Minister because of a pilot! This is irresponsible to the entire army and the country! "
Although this was cruel, it was the truth. There were many pilots, but the only human who could lead the Kingdom of Karen and maintain a harmonious relationship with the Dragons was Roddy.
Even though he knew that Roddy was very powerful and that ordinary Dragons might not be able to take advantage of him, as the commander of the army, he had to stop this kind of behavior when there was a risk.
Roddy stopped in his tracks. He also realized that he had been too impulsive. Beside him, Merlinsera wasn't someone who didn't have her own opinions. She strode out and said, "I will go with Natha."
"… Bring the communication circle."
Being in a high position, Roddy was not as impulsive and willful as he used to be. However, he still handed the various amulets and rings he had on him to Natha and Merlinsera, and whispered to them how to use them.
When Merlinsera left the command room, she could still hear Roddy shouting at the communication circle in the distance. "If there are any transport planes that haven't taken off yet, inform them to stop immediately and wait for orders! Let Irwin and the others go now. If there are any accidents, I will need to send more troops to fight at any time! "
She touched the warm ring with her fingertips and pursed her lips, but continued to run expressionlessly. After leaving the tower, Merlinsera used a spell to bring the two of them to the top of the tower. The Shadow Baby Dragon summoned by Roddy was already flapping its wings and hovering by the side of the tower. They didn't enter the cockpit, but directly sat on the back of the dragon's neck and quickly flew into the distance.
Under the clear sky, the two of them who had just flown into the sky couldn't find the location of the plane. But when the dragon quickly approached Ramu River, Merlinsera immediately followed the direction the pilot had reported and found a wreckage on the ground.
"Over there!"
But Natha shouted in the strong wind, "The pilot is on the other side! The parachute is white! "
She pointed at a white area on the ground. The two of them looked closely and saw four strange-looking creatures surrounding the pilot and attacking him. Not far away, there was also a group of cavalry rushing over. The enemy definitely wanted to capture the pilot alive and even retrieve the wreckage of the plane.
The Shadow Baby Dragon immediately swooped down, and its roar made the monsters stop in their tracks. When they saw the dragon in the sky, they immediately scattered, obviously trying to escape in all directions!
But Merlinsera's spellcasting speed was much faster than their movements. In the blink of an eye, a large amount of white mist appeared in the air and swept towards the four monsters like a tornado. 'Frost Tornado' was a high-level spell and took at least ten seconds to cast. But Merlinsera's control of the elements was far superior to that of an ordinary Magician. The spell was almost instantaneous under her control, but the icicles were removed, leaving only the strong wind after the temperature dropped.
The four monsters had huge black bat-like wings on their bodies, so they obviously didn't fly with magic. After the white tornado blew past, it made them fall to the ground in a disorderly manner.
Merlinsera used to be a dragon, so she was very familiar with the flying posture of winged creatures. With just a glance, she was sure that these monsters were probably unfamiliar with their wings.
This was a little strange, but she didn't have time to think about it. When the Shadow Baby Dragon swooped down and spread its wings to land, Merlinsera could clearly see the appearance of the monsters. They had a head and torso similar to a human, but their bodies were covered in fine blue scales. Their heads also had human-like facial features, but their tails were light and long, so they could easily maintain their balance.
