    On June 11, Zhang Tie followed Jinyun Kingdom's airship troops to a large airship base code-named C Base fifty kilometers behind Wolf City to rest and recuperate after completing a week-long war zone patrol mission.

    This is the third time Zhang Tie has come here in more than a month, so he is no longer a stranger.

    Two consecutive days of heavy rain marked the beginning of this summer's rainy season in the Cernes Plain. The two days of heavy rain not only affected the operations of the airship troops to a certain extent, but also affected the flight missions of other gliders on the airship except Zhang Tie.  Almost completely impossible to expand.

    When the Idiot landed, as soon as Zhang Tie's military boots stepped out of the hatch, several ground ambulance vehicles from the airship base quickly passed by two meters away in front of him, and some of the water droplets splashed by the wheels fell on him.  On Zhang Tie's trousers and shoes.

    The shallow water on the ground contained a large amount of soot, and when it fell on the pants, there were a series of black spots.  The splashed sewage did not shy away from Zhang Tieselnes' identity as the Eagle. Instead, he proudly soiled the brand new military uniform he had just put on.

    Zhang Tie lowered his head and looked at his pants and shoes that were splattered with a bunch of black spots, and then looked at the direction of the ground ambulance vehicles. He just shook his head slightly, didn't care, and walked towards Lan  The flagship of the Jinyun Kingdom's airship unit where Yun Xi was located walked over.

    It was still raining in the sky, but it was much smaller. Zhang Tie was wearing a waterproof poncho and strolling on the road of C base where airships were everywhere. A haze flashed in his heart. This haze did not come from the clothes on his trousers.  Those mud spots were new situations encountered during this week's mission - Zhang Tie found that the winged demons seemed to have disappeared. For three consecutive days, he did not find a single winged demon in the sky. This was not true.  What a good sign.

    The demons would not back down, and the winged demons did not appear.  That shows that the demons have thought of new tactics to deal with the humans. Apart from this, there is no second possibility.

    The atmosphere at Base C also seemed a bit tense. This time, while still in the sky, Zhang Tie clearly felt that the security force here had been strengthened a lot, seven kilometers north of the base.  It seems that there is another battle fort, and the barbed wire fence on the outside of the base and the number of patrolling troops have also increased.

    At this moment, there are more than 3,000 airships staying at the airship base in Wolf City. Just like airship exhibitions in various countries in the Hawaiian subcontinent, airships are rising and falling within a radius of dozens of kilometers.  The spectacular sight once amazed Zhang Tie when he came here for the first time. After coming here twice, Zhang Tie also became numb.

    Artists and poets may find things that can inspire their inspiration and enthusiasm in the war, but for a person who truly participates in the war process, the cruelty and coldness of the war will take a toll on a person in a very short period of time.  All the fantasy and romantic elements were ground to pieces.  Then there were only two thoughts left in my mind - how can I survive?  How to kill the enemy?

    There were people coming and going in Base C, and almost no one had the leisure to stroll in the rain. Everyone was either jogging or driving cars, hurriedly passing by on the road. The landing airship made the ground staff busy.  Various supplies were carried out for the airship, and the crews of the airships that finally landed swarmed into the strip bars and brothels around the base.

    Zhang Tie¡¯s steps are also a bit fast.  Although he was walking, he was almost trotting like others, and no one recognized him on the road. In the past month or so, Zhang Tie's name never appeared in "Jihad Newsletter". Even Crystal War  He has not updated the results on the record list in the fort.  In this case, the outside world paid much less attention to him.

    By the time they arrived at Lan Yunxi¡¯s flagship, almost half of the officers above the chief officer level of each squadron of the Jinyun Kingdom¡¯s airship force had already arrived.  Among a group of people whose lowest military rank is lieutenant colonel, Zhang Tie's sergeant rank seems a bit dazzling, but his unique air cavalry uniform makes him an exception, and he has the opportunity to participate in fleet high-level meetings.  Qualifications.

    The participants were all the elites of the younger generation of the six major families of Jinyun Kingdom. For these people, they valued the ranking on the record list in the Crystal Battle Castle more than the military rank on each other's shoulders, so  , no one had any objection to Zhang Tie's attendance at the meeting.

    Many of those people were guys who lost bets with Zhang Tie. Facing Zhang Tie's powerful performance in the sky, those guys were completely speechless after losing, and they were very polite to Zhang Tie.  .

    The people who had come here were sitting on both sides of the conference table and discussing something in low voices. Zhang Tie's position was in the middle on the right side of the conference table. He found his seat and just sat down. Next to him was a lieutenant colonel with a certificate from the military academy.  The guy had already put his head over and said, "The situation in the war zone seems a bit uncomfortable."?!  "

    Zhang Tie nodded seriously.

    The person who was talking to Zhang Tie was Wang Cheng, a descendant of the Wang family, one of the six major families of Jinyun Kingdom, and a chief officer of the seventh squadron of the airship force. This guy was an acquaintance. He had had several meetings with Zhang Tie here.  After meeting each other a few times, the two of them became familiar with each other because they sat close to each other.

    The last time he came to Base C, Zhang Tie and this guy made an appointment with a few young officers to have a night of drinking at the officers' club at the base. That night, a bunch of guys had bad intentions and wanted to drink Zhang Tie down.  Who would have thought that Zhang Tie, who could dump the contents of his mouth and stomach into the pool of chaos at any time, was completely a bottomless pit, and he could put more than a dozen guys into it while drinking alone, even if those guys used wheel tactics.

    ??Also after that time, among the airship troops of Jinyun Kingdom, Zhang Tie's reputation for being a drinker suddenly became louder than his honorary title of Eagle of Sernes, and he had the demeanor of a wine shop overlord.

    What Wang Cheng said was not good was quickly confirmed. A few minutes later, after all the officers had arrived, Lan Yunxi appeared wearing a major general uniform and a majestic aura.

    When Lan Yunxi appeared, the officers sitting on both sides of the conference table stood up, and Zhang Tie also stood up.

    There was no extra expression on Lan Yunxi's face. She just glanced at the faces of everyone in the audience. When she saw Zhang Tie, she stayed on Zhang Tie's face for less than a third of a second. She was satisfied.  Zhang Tie felt a little vanity in his heart, then nodded, and everyone sat down again.

    "The news I just received is that the airship troops of the French Federation were annihilated by the demons yesterday"

    Although Lan Yunxi only said one sentence.  But just this sentence suddenly caused the temperature in the entire conference room to drop below zero.

    The entire conference room was silent for almost half a minute before someone asked in a hoarse voice, "Is this news confirmed?"

    "The Allied Forces Command has sent several demon-hunting teams to the area where the French Federation's airship troops were involved in the incident to check and confirm. According to on-site analysis results, the time it took for the French Federation's airship troops to encounter the demons and finally be shot down and annihilated was not long.  More than twenty minutes!" Lan Yunxi's voice was still calm.

    "How is it possible? Although the performance of the airships of the French Federation's airship force is slightly worse than that of the Fury Classification. But it is also a fleet with more than 500 large war airships. How could the demons defeat them in twenty minutes?  Can we completely annihilate such an airship fleet within a short period of time?" an officer yelled.

    "This is a fact. The so-called possibilities are all judgments based on past experience!" Lan Yunxi looked at the officer with wise eyes, "Before we say the words impossible, please ask first  What is your basis? Is that basis so strong that it is unshakable, or is it some kind of habit or subjective will? This meeting is not discussing the issue of possibility and impossibility, because this is no longer necessary. We want to  It¡¯s clear how the demons did it and how we should deal with it.¡±

    Zhang Tie also lowered his head and thought about Lan Yunxi's words. As a commander, whether Zhang Tie admits it or not, Lan Yunxi is indeed better than herself in many places. This is why she can shock these people.  Zhang Tie himself learned a lot from Lan Yunxi.

    Analysis and judgment of this overall situation.  It was not Zhang Tie's strong point. He was just silent for a moment. Seeing everyone frowning and thinking, he took the initiative to speak. Speaking of his understanding of the demon winged demon, the one sitting here, Zhang  If you really consider yourself second.  It is estimated that no one dares to jump out and say that he is the first.

    The only one who can shoot down the human airship troops in a short time is the Wing Demon, and only the Wing Demon. This is Zhang Tie's most direct judgment.

    "When everyone is thinking about how the demons do it. There is a situation that I hope everyone can understand first. In the past few days, the number of winged demons I encountered and discovered has decreased by 90% compared to some time ago.  Above, those winged demons seem to have disappeared out of thin air, which is very abnormal. Combined with what happened to the airship troops of the French Federation, I think the demons may have changed their tactics. How they did it is not an issue.  It won¡¯t be too complicated, but it may be very simple, that is, the main army of the demon clan may have changed the method of using the winged demon troops!¡±

    Zhang Tie¡¯s words shocked everyone, and pairs of eyes suddenly focused on Zhang Tie.

    "In the past, the method used by the demon clan in using the winged demon troops in the Sernes war zone was to spread the net, scattering the winged demons and dropping them into the entire war zone in groups of three, three, two, and eight, making the winged demons look like  Wandering around like wild wolves in the sky, looking for opportunities.??Now, I guess, the demons have begun to concentrate the power of the winged demons, and they must annihilate a force with more than 500 war airships within twenty minutes. For the demons, it only takes one time  More than 1,000 wing demons were invested. Due to weather reasons, when the airship troops did not have glider warning, those wing demons used the cover of clouds or terrain to suddenly break into the formation of the airship troops, so that they could be completed in a short time.  Such a battle of annihilation!  "

    After Zhang Tie finished speaking, he saw Lan Yunxi looking at him with a hint of appreciation and encouragement. Seeing Lan Yunxi's eyes, he knew that Lan Yunxi probably already knew the truth behind this, but  Didn't say it all at once.

    As soon as Zhang Tie finished speaking, many people began to discuss. After some discussion, everyone agreed with Zhang Tie's statement, that is, the demon clan has indeed begun to change the use of the winged demon troops.

    This is not a trivial matter, but a major event that affects everyone in the entire Cernes war zone. The demons have begun to concentrate the winged demons, which means that the main army of the demons has found the human race's defense line in Cernes.  Weaknesses, and began to use deeper intensity and greater investment to prepare to tear apart the human race's defense line in Cernes.

    Air supremacy is a powerful protective umbrella for the human race's defense line in the Sernes theater. Under the protection of this protective umbrella, the human race's ground forces have the possibility of confronting the demon army. If this protective umbrella is lost, then the ground forces  There was no way the troops could hold out for long in front of the overwhelmingly superior demon army.

    The air supremacy of the human defense line relies on the powerful airship troops, but the powerful human airship troops have a weakness in the Sernes War Zone. This weakness was not a weakness originally, but once the opponent changed the Wing Demon's tactics, this weakness became  It was revealed all at once.

    War is sometimes governed by a bunch of strange mathematical principles and the theory of relativity.

    What exposed the weaknesses of the human airship force was the principle of probability.

    When the Winged Demons appeared in the Sernes War Zone in a scattered manner, it was a high probability event that all the airship troops encountered the Winged Demons. It was a small probability event that the large-scale airship troops were wiped out by the Winged Demons. The human airship troops  Because it far exceeds the number of winged demons, it still firmly controls the air supremacy in the sky of Sernes.

    This is a net versus another net in the air.

    And when the demons began to use the winged demons intensively, then everything changed. It was no longer a high probability event for the human airship troops to encounter the winged demons in the sky, because the space and time for the winged demons to move have been compressed.  Once they met, the balance of power between the two sides in the local area would suddenly be reversed, and it would become a high probability event that the human race's airship troops would be annihilated.

    "The winged demons can obtain relative air supremacy at certain times and in certain places. Through this relative air supremacy, they can completely subvert the advantages of the human race's airship troops and erode them step by step

    The demons can concentrate and use the winged demons without restriction, but due to the airship's flight principles, command and communication level and various objective conditions, the human airship troops cannot do this. Even if they can barely do it, they will not be able to do so.  will have any effect.

    Because if tens of thousands of airships appear in the sky and move together, even if they are arranged in the densest formation, they will occupy an area of ??tens of square kilometers in the sky, unless the demons are all blind waiting for you to attack and  Bombing, otherwise the action of such an airship unit will not achieve much results at all, and it will also give the demons an opportunity to take advantage of it.  Judging from the Three Eyes Club's penetration into the war zone, I'm afraid that such an action plan has just been distributed to the airship units, and the demons already know what the humans want to do.

    After several months of confrontation with the human coalition forces in the Sernes war zone, when the rainy season came in this year's Sernes war zone, the demon army finally found the human defense line amid constant friction and confrontation with the human coalition forces.  Weaknesses began to tear through the human race's aerial protective umbrella in the Sernes war zone.

    The demon¡¯s net turned into a knife and began to forcefully poke a hole in the cover of the human umbrella in the sky

    With Lan Yunxi¡¯s explanation and everyone¡¯s discussion, Zhang Tie¡¯s heart slowly sank as he had been listening quietly after making a speech.

    ???????? Do the demons really have no weaknesses?

    "No, by doing this, the Demons actually gave us an opportunity, an opportunity that could severely damage the Demons' ground troops. The Demons changing the use of the Winged Demons does not come without any cost" Just as everyone was thinking  When the clouds shrouded, Lan Yunxi's firm voice suddenly reached Zhang Tie's ears
