There were three days left, the Nightingale suddenly said.
Well, there are three days left.Roland nodded. At the current marching speed, the First Army could reach the preset offensive position in three days. It was a raised hillside, and the slope was just opposite the outpost. It not only had a wide view, but also was very suitable for setting up fortifications.
Once they have gained a foothold, it will be difficult for the devil to shake the gun defense line again.
However, in the next few days, the pressure on the sniper team will also increase sharply.
The premise of their guarantees to be silent is that God and ghosts cut off the enemy's perceived vision without knowing it. On the vast plain, without the ability to deliver messages in real time, it is almost impossible to accurately grasp the position of the attacker.
But with the increase of patrol troops, the devil has the possibility of using numerical advantages to exchange for real-time messages. Just witness the moment the missing person is shot down, and the search circle will be greatly reduced, and it will be a risky thing for them to take action again.
The best result is that the enemy noticed the existence of the sniper team and was unable to lock the specific position. The latter stopped in time and turned around to join the First Army. This not only involved the devil's flying troops, but also gave the main force enough time.
It's just that they need to judge all of this.
A little earlier or later will make this attack full of variables.
You should believe them. Nightingale seemed to see Roland's concerns. The Tachila witch's judgment of risks should not be much worse. The Magic Ark can avoid most of the pursuits. Even if you encounter a team of devils, it is not easy to bite them.
That's right, Roland patted his cheek, and after all, he was not as strong as Winter City, so he needed to take this risk.
The speed of walking seriously restricts the limit of the First Army. If it can be equipped with wheeled vehicles, a blitzkrieg that can arrive day and night can be launched on such a large plain. Even if the army marchs under the noses of the beasts, the enemy will not have time to stop it.
Compared to meaningless worries, he should focus more on the work at hand.
By the way, Wendy should have mastered the basic principles of flight, right?
Probably, Nightingale smiled and threw a piece of dried fish into her mouth. She fell asleep last night and was still talking in her sleep, muttering that the runway had been cleared and the green light was on.
That's good, Roland looked out the window. The weather seemed pretty good today, and it seemed that the next test could be carried out.
oh?Are you planning to formally test the physical object of that thing... Nightingale's eyes lit up.
What, are you interested in it?
No one is not interested!She said excitedly, "You can soar in the sky without relying on your wings. You are more free than hot air balloons and can be controlled by anyone. This sounds almost the same as a miracle. If you succeed, do you know what those leaders will think of you?"I'm afraid the gods will not be able to shake your prestige.
When she said this, Nightingale's expression was shining even more than getting Chaos Drink, as if she was the one who won the respect of everyone.
Roland couldn't help but laugh. He was still in the exploratory stage and there was still a long way to go to achieve the step you said.
At least the steam engine cannot meet its needs, and it needs a stronger source of power.
But it will eventually come true, right?Nightingale walked to the door with her hands behind her back and smiled.
Well, Roland responded without hesitation, it would.
……
One kilometer east of the Shoal Harbour.
The beachhead exposed to the water sank into the sea here, leaving only a section of stone ridge that continues to extend to the southeast, and it is this long stone ridge that forms the outline of the entire south of the Gray Castle Kingdom.
For inland people living in the western border, this border is just a part of the hilly landform. If you climb the flat slope, you can see the vast and endless vortex sea; but for merchants on the sea, this is an insurmountable barrier. The average height difference between the sea surface and Shiling is more than fifteen meters. Not to mention that you cannot load and unload goods, it is dangerous to even approach the docking.
Therefore, before the shallows were opened, there was clearly one-third of the border in the western border next to the sea, but there was no port to go out.
It can be said that the overall economic level of the western part of the kingdom is not as good as that of the eastern and southern regions. In addition to the damage caused by the evil moon, another point is the lack of harbors.
However, such terrain has now become an excellent test flight.
When Roland and his group arrived here, the garrison troops stationed in Wudong City had sealed the surrounding one kilometer.
At one end of the cement-poured runway, three identical test prototypes were being pushed onto the lifting platform by soldiers.
oh!Is this what you are talking about? Thunder touched his chin and commented that looking at the appearance alone can indeed remind people of seabirds, but compared to those steam engines with infinite power... it seems a bit thin.
As the most reliable overseas ally, the outstanding explorer Thunder in the Fjord, and the businesswoman Margaret naturally visited Roland's invitation to observe.
Roland was not surprised by the former's evaluation. After smiling mysteriously, he turned his head and looked at Margareti. What do you think?
Go back to Your Majesty, the latter said frankly. To be honest, it is so different from your previous creation. If it weren't for your personal invitation, I would have thought it was a strange thing that would be cheating under your guise.
A strange thing?Roland asked curiously, what organization is that?
A guild was established by a group of delusionists between craftsmen and explorers. Margaret explained that they were unwilling to be the ordinary of craftsmen, but they did not dare to devote themselves to the sea of joy and anger, so they focused on all kinds of strange inventions.Two years ago, someone made something similar, a pair of wooden wings that are said to make the wearer fly.
Wood...wings?
It is somewhat similar to yours, but it is much smaller, almost the same length and width as one person.
Did he fly?Wendy couldn't help asking.
No, Margaret shook his head, he put his wings on his back and jumped off a tower, and his wings flipped over quickly and fell like a stone, and he fell to the ground and died.
Wendy couldn't help swallowing.
Before this, the man claimed that he had succeeded several times and attracted the attention of several large chambers of commerce.Therefore, this scam not only made him a joke, but also made the reputation of the already disparate thing worse.
When Roland heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional. He used wood to make wings. He obviously realized that as much lift as possible was the key to flight. Only by using a hard frame can enough force area be supported to reach this point, and he basically got rid of the simple imitation of birds, and the prototype of fixed wings was born.
It can be said that the other party is a pioneer in exploring the sky, at least it has made much progress compared to the brains that have appeared in history such as artificial wings, umbrella flight, and cloak flight.
Successful times may not be nonsense, but a close-range slip experiment conducted at low altitudes, but the wind is much stronger at high places, and the lack of operating surfaces on the wings, and instant loss of control is also expected.
Unfortunately, the Fjord advocates explorers who can bring living space to islanders. It is difficult for people who dare not go to sea to get fair evaluation.
He can't be considered a liar, Roland said slowly. It would be a huge price to get rid of the shackles of the earth and embrace the sky. If I had not had the help of the witch, I would probably not be able to avoid this process.If that person has a name, record the matter.
Margaret was stunned for a moment, then lifted up the corner of her skirt, as you wish, Your Majesty.
Roland turned his attention to the last slide plane prepared before the test flight, which was indeed thin and could not even be called a complete aircraft.
There is no cabin, and the whole body is covered with exposed skeletons. Except for the huge wings, the rest of the skin is omitted.
To facilitate escape, the seats are installed directly between the wings, which at first glance is even simpler than the model.
Unlike all the previous machinery, Roland is blank in the field of flight, and only knowing the principles can't create a real aircraft.
Therefore, the first thing to do is to write a "Flight Manual".
These seemingly simple test prototypes already contain the basic control elements required by an aircraft.
Although it looks like a newborn hairless chick.
But it is the starting point for humans to spread their wings and fly.
Well, there are three days left.Roland nodded. At the current marching speed, the First Army could reach the preset offensive position in three days. It was a raised hillside, and the slope was just opposite the outpost. It not only had a wide view, but also was very suitable for setting up fortifications.
