Chapter 53 51: Long-distance reconnaissance
At the end of the battle, the knights effortlessly occupied the Yueyue Village stronghold.

Evelin and the captains of each knight team stepped onto the high ground of the stronghold and looked around.

"There is indeed something wrong." Evelin frowned, "The battle did not attract any nearby reinforcements, and the grassland was eerily quiet."

They had made sufficient preparations for the imaginary enemy reinforcements, and then sent half of the knight squad to participate in the battle.

If the enemy is so vulnerable, it will appear that their preparations are superfluous.

The captains of the team laughed beside them and said: "It's just to successfully complete the operation, we just dispatched so many teams this time, right?"

"If this level of fighting still doesn't satisfy you, let's leave for Linfeng Hills immediately. The stronghold defense there will be stronger."

"Our people have not expended much energy in this battle and can set off at any time."

"No." Evelin shook her head and said, "You guys stay here first and don't move around for the time being."

The captains wondered: "Why is this? Doesn't it mean that we want to fight a quick attack? Linfeng Hills is not close to here."

"If we don't set off now, I'm afraid we won't be able to conquer Linfeng Hills within tomorrow."

"Just believe me." Facing the questions from several captains, Evelin's eyes flashed and she said in a deep voice.

"I have asked White Raven to go to Linfeng Hills for reconnaissance. We will make plans after she brings back the information there."

……

High in the sky, Yuna's four accelerating arrays were fully opened, and she rushed towards the distant Linfeng Hills stronghold at full speed.

Nolen accessed her first-person perspective in the soul link and scouted the movements of enemy troops on the grassland with her.

After the meeting that day, Evelin talked to him alone for a while, and he also learned about the mole problem in the army.

If one considers that there is a mole in the conference room, the prairie people should already know the plan for a quick attack on the Eastern Front.

Then, at this time they will make two choices:

1. They are unwilling to give up the trade channel to Linfeng City, so they will send more reinforcements to strengthen the defense of these two strongholds.

2. They believed that when the Knights went to fight on the Eastern Front, it would be a great opportunity for a sneak attack because the city was empty of troops.

Under this choice, they would withdraw their large forces from the eastern front, regroup on the western front and launch an attack, capturing Linfeng City in one fell swoop.

The weak defensive force of Yanyue Village seems to confirm that the grassland people have made the second choice.

However, this battle alone cannot fully confirm the actions of the grassland people. What if their army was ambushed in the Linfeng hills later?
At this time, the White Raven needs to take action.

Thanks to the flying wing thrusters, she now has the ability to run quickly on the battlefield for a long time.

Even if the straight-line distance between Linfeng Hills and Hiyue Village is a hundred kilometers away, relying on the maneuverability of the existing Unit [-], it can still reach the destination within half an hour.

And during this battle, the magic power stored in Unit [-] was enough to support her for a round trip of hundreds of kilometers.

Among them, the flying wing thruster comes with two magic sources, and the quality of the magic crystal carried by the flight backpack has become higher.

The quality of magic crystals is also divided into grades. According to the amount of magic power contained in a unit volume, the color of magic crystals will also change from light to dark.According to color, magic crystal is divided into six qualities: azure, dark blue, dark green, orange, vermilion, and purple.

The magic crystals available on the market are basically of two qualities: azure blue grade and dark blue grade.

The duelist armguards he first made used azure-level magic crystals due to budget reasons. In addition, the magic source was relatively small, so using the second-level spell twice would exhaust the magic power.

If you want higher-quality magic crystals, the price will of course be more expensive, and you must also have your own purchase channels.

When it reaches the dark green level and above, it is the quality of control level and munitions level. They are generally controlled by the imperial military or some major forces, and are not easy to obtain.

For example, the magic crystal he bought through Harrison's channel was dark green grade. This was also the highest quality magic crystal he could get at the time.

Unit No. [-] was originally equipped with a dark green-level magic source. Is it being used in actual combat... It can only be said that it is enough magic power for Yuna to attack once.

But now it's different. Ever since Evelin promised that the City Lord's Mansion would fully assist him in the research and development of equipment, last time Luo Zhen not only brought him the materials for making spiritual pathways, but also brought him a batch of military orange. Super magic crystal!
This is the same quality as the magic crystal placed on the city wall to provide energy for the city defense magic cannon!

So during this sortie, Nolen replaced Yuna's flying wing thrusters, flight main backpack, and magic gun with orange-yellow magic crystals.

Thanks to this, even if the current Unit [-] flies back and forth over the grassland, its magic power will not be exhausted easily.

Without the anxiety of magic, the white raven is now the true overlord of the sky who can fly freely in the sky!

Flying all the way, Yuna encountered no obstruction.

She had a clear view of the situation on the grassland, and at the same time, she and Nolen had more and more doubts.

This place has gone deep into the sphere of influence of the prairie troops. Logically speaking, the frequency of enemy appearances should be increasing.

But this was not the case. For a long time, she did not even find a fully formed prairie army down there!
It was as if... the prairie people had withdrawn all their troops from the Eastern Front.

If something went wrong, there must be a monster. Nolan's heart became more and more uneasy. He took a deep breath and said, "No need to guess, we will reveal the answer soon."

The stronghold of Linfeng Hills has appeared in Yuna's field of vision. This is the most important level related to the ownership of Linfeng City's trade channel.

According to the estimates of the staff in the army, this stronghold should be guarded by at least two seventh-level warriors from the prairie people, and there are countless reinforcements wandering around on guard.

Yuna lowered her altitude and dived towards the Linfeng Hills stronghold, finally stopping at a height of only 30 meters above the ground.

"There is no one around the stronghold, no one on the guard tower, and no one in the stronghold." She glanced around and quickly reported, "This place is completely empty."

"I saw it." Nolen took a deep breath, "Is it true that everyone has been evacuated... Let's return, Yuna. It should be too late to go back now."

Temporarily cutting off contact with Yuna, Nolen took off the black raven mask, jumped off the carriage and found Evelin standing high in the stronghold.

Seeing Nolen walking quickly, her eyes lit up: "Did the White Raven send news?"

"Yes." Nolen nodded and said in a deep voice, "Don't go to Linfeng Hills. We have to return to the city immediately."

　Thanks to Qingfeng Xianyu for the tip.

　　I always feel that the grassland is very quiet, and there are no grassland troops around. It is really different from the front line... ovo
