This is the optimal solution, but it requires the cooperation of magical research strength on the Material Plane, sothing I cannot accomplish alone, and it will take so ti.
The second option is to equip the pilot of the Shadow Flyer with these abilities. I believe this should not be a difficult task for you all here. You must not forget your identity as spellcasters just because you are piloting the flyer.
Many of your spells can be used on it, such as See Invisibility, Acceleration Spell, Invisibility, Dark Arts, etc. These can significantly enhance the combat capabilities of the Shadow Flyer...
"This is an oversight on our part. It’s just that we are Lady Strategy’s exclusive sacrificers, and the spells we learned initially focused more on healing and command support, with relatively less involvent in these Divine Arts."
While actively admitting their mistake, the Shadow Officer also explained their awkward situation, stating that although they had transford into Shadows, many of their spellcasting abilities had not yet been adjusted.
As Shadows, they are insulators of Positive Energy and cannot cast any related spells.
However, they have not had the opportunity to learn spells related to Negative Energy yet.
"This is not just your oversight, but mine as well. Next, I will organize systematic learning of support magic for you, especially necromancy spells. Since you now belong to the Shadows, converting to this type of magic isn’t difficult, as healing spells and damage spells are general and interchangeable."
Gaven was also reflecting on his share of the responsibility.
Previously, he had overly relied on the speed advantage of the Shadow Flyers, thinking that with a jet speed of 300 kiloters per hour, they would hold an overwhelming advantage as long as the enemy hadn’t developed corresponding asures.
However, he forgot that the world’s Laws of Physics are just the foundational ring.
Magic is what truly dominates, and while physics might be impotent, that doesn’t an magic is as well.
This ti, they simply took advantage of the elent of surprise.
Next ti, the enemy would definitely be fully prepared, even formulating targeted plans and traps. If caught in them, it would certainly be fatal.
They must thoroughly consider this and prepare for it.
"Then, Lord Knight, I wonder what the third option is?"
"The third is to mix with flying units possessing the corresponding abilities." Gaven waved the War Ravager, summoning nine Winged Night Shadows.
These were the nine they had previously killed in air combat.
Undead, slaughter, and plunder.
Currently, the War Ravager was stacked with buffs, and as long as one condition was t, souls could potentially be plundered by it.
Not to ntion that the Winged Night Shadow ticks off all three boxes, having been blasted within the War Ravager’s domain, with no chance of escape.
The link between the soul and soul pool was forcibly cut and deprived.
However, the War Ravager’s connection to Weizemay Manor wasn’t smooth, so they weren’t pulled into the manor but instead beca prisoners of the Undead Slaughter Territory, obliged to fight for Gaven.
"The speed is one of the Shadow Flyer’s biggest advantages, although mixing with the Winged Night Shadow would undoubtedly improve auxiliary abilities, the overall movent speed would reduce, becoming a case of losing more than gaining."
A Shadow Officer raised an objection to this.
When two units are mixed, their movent speed is determined not by the faster one but by the slower one.
"We can make so modifications to the Shadow Flyer, adding two custom handles at the top to allow it to fly with the Winged Night Shadow.
Nightshadows lean toward being energy bodies, and their weight is inherently lower than that of ordinary beings. If they use the Acceleration Spell to assist, they should neutralize the deceleration they bring, achieving a more-than-double effect. This thod can be imdiate and show visible results the fastest."
Gaven had anticipated this and was ready to directly turn the Winged Night Shadow into an attachnt for the Shadow Flyer.
If this thod works, it will open a new developnt path for them.
Colossal is not the limit for the Shadow Flyer.
If the bones in our possession are of high enough quality and the Soul Pool Purification Essence is strong enough, creating ones as massive as Ard Ray Fish isn’t impossible.
Then, there would be room for more mounted equipnt, and its abilities would beco more diverse.
But by that point, it can no longer be called a flyer but an aerial warship or a flying warship.
"As long as it doesn’t significantly drag down the Shadow Flyer’s flight speed, it’s worth a try. I have another suggestion: categorize this equipnt as top secret.
In combat, preserving them should be the top priority. If it becos impossible to protect them, find a way to destroy them completely. They must not fall into enemy hands or be used by them.
Or leak the manufacturing thod, allowing the enemy to master the sa war tools."
"I agree with this suggestion."
"I also agree with this suggestion. I propose installing a self-destruct device on the flyer, so when necessary, it can self-detonate."
The Shadow Officer surprisingly demonstrated a keen sense of secrecy, which took Gaven a bit by surprise.
Gaven pondered for a mont and said, "The core of the Shadow Flyer is the flight device and the attack device. Without these two parts, it’s just an ordinary corpse.
If the worst case occurs, just destroy these two parts.
The destruction thod is also very simple: cause an energy overload, make the outward-surging energy surge inward, turning attacks from projecting outward to inward, and the massive energy collision will utterly tear it apart."
After witnessing the Shadow Flyers, it’s only a matter of ti before the enemy replicates them.
But delaying it for a day would still give them an advantage, as standard research is generally slower than reverse-engineering based on the objects.
Even legendary arcanists unlocked several core magic formulas by reverse-engineering objects.
"I believe the detection capabilities of the Shadow Flyer need to be enhanced. A longer detection range would be more conducive to identifying enemies and gathering intelligence.
If we are in the sky, it’s challenging to directly see information on the ground, and we must rely on scrying spells for detection.
But the duration of scrying magic is limited, leading to gaps in the intelligence gathered. Incorrect intelligence can have serious consequences."
"That’s indeed a good point; however, this ability doesn’t necessarily need to be incorporated into the Shadow Flyer, as it can be resolved through the pilot.
I will attempt to have the Magic Research Team develop a type of magic glasses similar to Dragon’s Sight Glasses, enabling long-range object detection and scouting capability."
"If Lord Knight can develop such magic equipnt and mass-produce it, it would be a great boon for all commanders, generals, and captains, making it easier for them to command in battle."
