The evil dragon Stephen Rechel snatched the item and flew back.
At this time, numerous satellites in the sky had adjusted their orbits to observe the evil dragon at all times.
Stephen Rechel still felt he was being watched.
Stephen Rechel thought to himself: The Red Dragon King is still watching me. It seems this item I'm holding is indeed very important.
Stephen Rechel did not consider how the Red Dragon King could have been monitoring him continuously for such a long time.
At this moment, in the satellite operation hall, the real-time satellite monitoring screen showed not only the evil dragon Stephen Rechel but also the elf being monitored.
After calculations, it was determined that the route the elf returned on was the Elven Imperial City.
Chu Shi looked at the elf on the screen and said, "We cannot wait for a response from the delegation here regarding the elf's true identity. Go and summon Lin Dong."
"Yes." A nearby messenger immediately left to find Lin Dong.
When the messenger found Lin Dong, Lin Dong was practicing riding a horse. However, this horse was a flying horse.
A soldier nearby repeatedly shouted, "Major Lin Dong, stop practicing on the flying horse. It's not good if the flying horse accidentally flies towards the missile range."
Lin Dong rode the flying horse at a low altitude of five meters above the ground, "Don't worry, I won't let the flying horse fly there. If the flying horse gets startled and flies that way, you shoot and bring down the flying horse."
The soldier said, "Major Lin Dong, don't say such frightening things. You are still on the flying horse, and shooting could easily injure you."
Lin Dong said, "You must trust your marksmanship. Shoot the horse, not the person. This is an order."
Lin Dong saw the approaching messenger on the flying horse.
"Huh? Isn't that Chu Shi's messenger? What is he doing here?"
The messenger shouted from afar upon seeing Lin Dong, "Major Lin Dong, Major Lin Dong."
Lin Dong landed the flying horse and asked, "What is it? Does Chu Shi need me for something?"
The messenger produced a military order and said, "Major Lin Dong, Colonel Chu Shi wants you to go see him immediately."
Lin Dong then rode his horse to the satellite operation hall.
Upon entering and seeing Chu Shi, Lin Dong asked, "Colonel Chu, what do you need me for?"
Chu Shi looked at Lin Dong and said, "Go and capture this elf alive. I will assign you a combat team."
Lin Dong looked at the screen displaying a griffin and an elf flying in the sky and asked, "This elf? What has this elf done?"
Chu Shi said, "The relevant mission details have been sent to your satellite phone."
Lin Dong looked at the information on his satellite phone, "What is the situation with this elf?"
Chu Shi turned and glanced at Lin Dong, "Don't you know about that elf?"
Lin Dong's mind raced, and he quickly recalled receiving an intelligence report on his satellite phone a few hours ago. That public information document stated that a dragon had been discovered, and that dragon had met with an elf.
Lin Dong immediately changed his tune, "Oh, so it's that elf. He dares to associate with an evil dragon? He must be an enemy of our humanity. I will definitely capture this elf."
Lin Dong didn't give Chu Shi another chance to speak and turned to leave.
After leaving the satellite operation hall, Lin Dong re-examined the intelligence report from a few hours ago. This kind of intelligence report was only accessible to specific individuals, even in the magic world. Lin Dong was one of those individuals.
Following the mission instructions, Lin Dong arrived at the aircraft parking area, where a team was already waiting.
After saluting each other, Lin Dong led the team members onto the aircraft.
A total of six aircraft were dispatched this time. Five of the aircraft were equipped with machine guns. One fighter jet was also carrying two missiles.
...
Two hours later, above a patch of elven farmland, an elf was flying on a griffin.
Continuous flight had made the elf feel very tired.
"I'll rest for a day at the next elven city before continuing my journey."
As soon as he finished speaking, a rumbling sound came from the distance behind him.
The elf turned to look and saw six black dots appearing in the sky.
The six black dots grew larger in the elf's vision.
"So fast, what is that?"
The black dots continued to enlarge, and soon, the elf was able to see the true nature of these black dots. This elf had seen similar things at the Elven Imperial Palace, so he recognized these six flying objects.
"An aircraft? Have the humans discovered my actions?"
The elf became anxious. He urged his griffin to move faster, but how could a griffin's speed match that of an aircraft?
The six aircraft continued to close the distance, and soon they flew beside the elf, surrounding the griffin and maintaining the same flying speed.
The griffin, surrounded by the six aircraft, began to stir.
The pilot of one of the aircraft used an external loudspeaker to broadcast translated elvish.
"Elf, land immediately, or we will shoot down your griffin."
In conjunction with the broadcast, the machine gun on another aircraft fired upwards.
"Rat-a-tat-tat."
The elf attempted to resist, waving his magic staff. A magic circle appeared.
Lin Dong, sitting in one of the aircraft, shouted, "Fire at that magic circle."
"Rat-a-tat."
After a burst of machine gun fire, the magic circle was directly shattered.
Lin Dong smiled and said, "I'm not a boss in a movie who will let you have time to cast spells."
Seeing this, the elf had no choice. He immediately withdrew the magic from the magic circle and cast another quick spell.
Lin Dong shouted, "Act!"
The shield on the left aircraft opened. A combat team member pulled the trigger of a stun gun at the elf on the griffin.
The elf was instantly stunned and paralyzed. The griffin below was also affected, its wings losing strength, and it began to plummet downwards.
Another combat team member from the right aircraft took out a capture gun and fired at the elf.
A metal rope flew out and bound the elf. Then, the rope retracted, and the elf was pulled over.
The paralyzed elf was unable to resist and was thus pulled onto the aircraft. The griffin, after descending a hundred meters, recovered and took flight again.
Lin Dong observed the smooth and efficient process and said, "Well done, everyone. Secure the elf more tightly and gag him to prevent him from chanting spells."
"Yes."
The elf, who had just regained some strength, was bound even tighter, and a piece of cloth was stuffed into his mouth.
"Return," Lin Dong commanded.
The six aircraft turned and flew back towards the base.
