New Enemies: The Black Scale Race, and the Female Mystic Master Was Cheng Han's Diehard Fan

Spirit Flame Lotus Island.

Flame Mountain War Fortress.

This newly constructed war fortress was the garrison of the Crimson Eagle Legion.

Unlike the lively banquet hall, the atmosphere in the command hall on the fortress's top floor was exceedingly solemn.

Above a Mystic Array, an image was floating in the air.

Cheng Han stood as straight as a pine, staring unblinkingly at the scene within the illusion.

The Female Mystic Master, Lan Jiayao, stood beside him and quickly explained the situation. "The war zone's Scout Hawks discovered an unusual phenomenon in this area."

The so-called "Scout Hawks" were, plainly speaking, Warhawks that had undergone a certain degree of modification specifically for scouting the areas surrounding the war zone.

As an aside.

Before the Warhawk Legion entered this realm, scouting duties had mainly been handled by Mystic Boats.

However, because combat had been too frequent, the number of Mystic Boats had become severely insufficient. Their scouting coverage could only extend three hundred kilometers around the war zone.

As for more distant areas, they could only be scouted at low frequency—once per day, just enough to get a basic grasp of the situation.

But after the Warhawk Legion descended into this realm, the situation changed drastically.

The war zone modified fifteen hundred Scout Hawks, which patrolled an area six hundred kilometers around the clock, closely monitoring activity on the sea.

This greatly eased the pressure on the Mystic Boat Troops and allowed the war zone to learn of Sea Monster movements earlier.

This was only one of the reasons why the Warhawk Legion had become increasingly important.

At this moment.

Lan Jiayao raised a hand and pointed at the image. "Vice General Cheng, when a Scout Hawk flew over this location, it unexpectedly spotted what appeared to be many white circles underwater."
