Brigadier General Blair had brought a troop of Advanced Mages numbering about thirty.
The students of the Aorus Sacred Institute were Su Xi, Karl, the woman with a tall nose, and four other people. It would number ten if including Mo Fan, Zhao Manyan, and Mu Bai.
The forty of them were going to take on four Wind Warships!
The size of the Wind Warships in the forest was slightly bigger, with between two thousand to three thousand people powering each Wind Warship. They had a higher ratio of Light Mages, meaning that the Light Armor protecting the Wind Warships was thicker.
Two of the Wind Warships were hidden in the thick ground foliage, while the other two were above the curtain of rain.
Well, we know who is going to be the poster boy for inefficient magic use for this fight...
Note that rain forests have horrible soil for growing things, because the constant rain washes all the nutrients away. This leaching effect means that it takes plants acclimated to the place to grow, and the recycling of fallen leaves and stuff is ferociously efficient, getting to them before the rain carries it all away. One of the big reasons for the Amazon being cleared is because farmers raze and burn new land, leaving the old land behind since it is depleted of fertilizer elements so quickly. Burning the plants provides a season or two of nutrients for a crop.
