Chapter 746: Chapter 739: Ghost Reconnaissance

"Regardless, confirming Mu Lansi’s safety is the top priority. After all, we represent the headquarters. If we inadvertently cause something to happen to Mu Lansi, things will get serious," Cheng Ziang, with his arms folded, contemplated aloud.

"Hmm," Luoer nodded in agreement, "for now, let’s make sure Mu Lansi is safe, and then we’ll make our decision."

Reimer looked at the talking Advance Team members and, after a prolonged silence, he finally said, "If none of you has objections, then I’ll go make the arrangements."

"We appreciate it, Captain Reimer," said Luoer respectfully.

"Don’t mention it. I should thank the Advance Team for assisting in this operation," Captain Reimer replied in kind.

Coordinated by Reimer, the Asirens finally sent a message - the kidnappers agreed to show Mu Lansi the kidnapped, in order to prevent an immediate attack from the airship fleet.

Air-to-ground support airships are not advantageous in combat against Main Battle Airships, as the primary weapons of the former are for ground support and almost none for air targets. On the other hand, the High-peak people had anticipated air combat while designing Main Battle airships, which are equipped with a certain degree of air capability.

At this moment, although only two airships in the fleet could catch up with the Asirens, one should not underestimate these two airships. One is the Main Battle Airship, and the other is the supply ship serving as a flagship. If engaged in combat, the former could directly attack the Asirens, while the supply ship could provide endless ammunition to ensure its firepower.

Bearing this in mind, the robbers aboard the Asirens are quite afraid of the two airships trailing behind them. Had they not kidnapped Mu Lansi, they would probably have been shot down by the airship fleet before reaching the outskirts of Yazhi City.

The group arrived at the front of the airship in the morning, and Reimer and the robbers arranged to show the hostage, Mu Lansi, at noon so that the two airships trailing behind could confirm his safety and avoid shooting down the Asirens.

After a few arrangements, two transport planes took off from the supply ship and began to approach the Asirens, which were a few kilometers ahead. Meanwhile, two high-speed reconnaissance aircraft were cruising in case things went wrong and immediate attack needs to be launched on the Asirens.

At this time, the two members of the sniper team were riding in one of the transport planes. Unlike last time, Baiyue had been arranged to sit in the co-pilot’s seat, which mainly deals with communication and does not affect flight.

Baiyue was petite, and the High-peak people’s seats were generally larger than their own size, so she felt no discomfort sitting in the chair.

A complex device was placed in front of her. This was a Message Communication Equipment designed based on the magic principle of the Magic Messenger and powered by Magic Crystal. Like the Magic Messenger, it also uses point-to-point communication.

Sitting in the co-pilot’s seat, Baiyue was interested in tinker with the Message Communication Equipment. The dwarven pilot kept glancing back uneasily, afraid that she might cause trouble. But his worries were unnecessary, as Baiyue knew how to operate this device properly.

The High-peak people have been collaborating with the headquarters for many years, and almost all the magic technologies developed by the High-peak folk in these 30 miles are available at their headquarters except anti-gravity and airship technology. So theoretically, all Advance Team members could learn to operate the Ronisca’s aircraft.

At this point, Hu Daoke was sitting idle in the cabin, engaging in sporadic conversations with Fulajier. As the co-pilot, his role was minimal, he only assisted Baiyue.

When noon arrived, the two transport planes approached the Asirens one after another. As per the communication and coordination, the robbers were to show Mu Lansi at the rear deck of the Asirens. The reason they didn’t opt for the back was that it had three air defense points, fraught with danger for the transport planes if the rivals play foul.

The two transport planes slowly approached the rear deck of the Asirens, reducing their speed to match the Asirens’ after getting within a hundred meters.

Baiyue, holding a telescope in one hand and a picture of Mu Lansi in the other, waited patiently for Mu Lansi to be shown.

Soon, a dwarf was pushed onto the deck platform under the escort of numerous other dwarves. Upon seeing this, Baiyue immediately raised her telescope to examine the dwarf.

After observing for more than a minute and referring to the photograph in her hand, she finally confirmed that the dwarf on the other side was indeed Mu Lansi. She turned to Fulajier and ordered, "Target confirmed, Fula, prepare to strike. Remember, you must return within half an hour!"

"Xiao Fula, it’s your turn!" Hearing Baiyue’s command, Hu Daoke immediately turned his head and spoke into the air.

"Don’t call me Xiao Fula, only Luoer can call me that!" Fulajie’er protested discontentedly.

"We’re just doing this to show our closeness." Hu Daoke scratched his head and said.

"I’m older than all of you, only Luoer can call me little, you all should call me sister!" Fulajie’er said angrily.

"Stop messing around, get going!" Sensing Fulajie’er’s domain, Baiyue urged.

"Hmph!" Hearing Baiyue’s words, Fulajie’er snorted, and her voice was no longer heard, it seems she had already set off.

Considering Luoer’s past experiences partnering with her, although Fulajie’er liked to throw little tantrums during a fight, she was precise and effective in carrying out her tasks; this was why everyone trusted her.

"What do we do next?" Hu Daoke leaned into the cockpit and asked.

"Send a message to the aerial fleet and ask them to delay as much as possible to extend Fula’s reconnaissance time." Without raising his head, Baiyue typed on the message device in front of him.

The Dwarf pilot beside him watched Baiyue’s actions wide-eyed. His surprise stemmed from the fact that Baiyue not only knew how to operate the device but also knew how to string together Dwarf letters.

Soon, a line of text spit out from the device, and Baiyue picked it up, glanced at it, then turned to the shocked Dwarf pilot and in less than fluent Dwarven, said, "Stay on their tail, we’ve bought half an hour."

"Oh, oh!" The Dwarf pilot nodded in a daze, Baiyue’s vast knowledge and skills had truly shocked him.

"Little Ke, give me paper and pen, and I’ll draft a rough sketch of Asirens." Having finished everything, Baiyue, without looking back, requested.

"Alright," Hu Daoke nodded, handed her a pen and paper, then asked, "What should I do?"

"Keep an eye on those people with the sniper rifle, report immediately if anyone behaves unusually." Baiyue said, without looking up.

"Roger that, mission will be accomplished!" Hu Daoke saluted exaggeratedly, opened the cabin door just a crack, placed Baiyue’s M14EBR semi-automatic rifle on the ground, the muzzle poking out of the cabin, and began to observe the people on Asirens.

The hijackers on Asirens took Mu Lansi away after showing him for a few minutes, but the two transport planes kept chasing them. The hijackers didn’t react to this, they all left to attend to their own affairs, ignoring the two transport planes following them.

About twenty minutes later, there was a faint ripple in the magic in the air, followed by Fulajie’er reappearing in the cabin. She frowned and said to everyone, "I’m back."

"Got it, prepare to retreat!" Hearing Fulajie’er’s voice, Baiyue immediately nodded, put down the pen and paper and spoke to the pilot.

"Xiao Fula, what did you see?" Hu Daoke asked as he climbed up from the floor.

"Well, it’s a long story, I’ll tell you when we get back!" Fulajie’er seemed to be deep in thought, surprisingly she didn’t correct Hu Daoke’s form of address.
