#360 - Echo Map (asking for monthly ticket recommendation)

"Once we reach the designated location, I'll conduct the necessary reconnaissance and subsequent tactical deployment. Let's move out immediately!" Anduin issued the order with a firm tone, then neatly stowed the map in his hand, took out his flying broom first, and flew into the sky to lead the way.

Seeing this, the surrounding people reflexively took out their own brooms and followed Anduin.

It wasn't until they had flown for a while that they realized, how did Anduin suddenly become the one giving orders in the team? And they didn't even object to it, even Moody followed along very naturally.

However, after listening to Anduin's well-reasoned tactical explanation, they were quite shocked in their hearts. They had fought on the front lines for so many years, but they didn't realize that there were so many tricks to fighting in the field. And this young man, who had clearly never participated in any battles, spoke about tactics so eloquently.

While flying in the sky, this group of Aurors pondered and absorbed the strategic elements Anduin had explained earlier.

In this way, they quickly approached the target location Anduin mentioned. At the same time, Anduin took the lead in lowering his flying broom and landing on the ground. Seeing this, everyone followed suit and gathered around Anduin.

After landing, Anduin didn't immediately say anything to the others, but immediately turned on a jammer and stuck it into the ground.

"Although we are the attacking side, our own safety is always the most important factor to consider, especially in the wild." Anduin probably did too much training for others, and couldn't help but say a few extra words.

However, the surrounding Aurors didn't express any objection after hearing this, but nodded thoughtfully.

After setting up the scene, Anduin took out the map again, and then used the communication tracker to check it. He didn't relax until he confirmed that the other party's position hadn't shifted.

Then, Anduin pulled out a rod-like prop similar to the jammer from his body. However, the metal rod head was different from the jammer's eight raised shapes. This metal rod head only had a single raised thin antenna, and there was also a small metal ball on top of the antenna, along with a piece of soft leather cloth of one square meter in size, which was cut and processed very neatly.

"I haven't been without gains in the past six months. This is the latest reconnaissance alchemy item I developed. I call it the Echo Topographic Map." Anduin smiled and showed the metal rod in his hand to everyone, and then 'bang' stuck it into the ground.

"Echo Topographic Map?" Everyone saw the new prop Anduin showed, and couldn't help but surround him curiously.

"Next, I'll demonstrate the power of this thing to you." Anduin's mouth curled up slightly, and then he began to input magic power into the metal rod.

When the metal rod received Anduin's magic power supply, the small ball on the rod head emitted a faint blue light, and then the people who were close felt that they were swept by an invisible ripple, while the Aurors who were slightly farther away didn't feel anything.

After activating the metal rod, Anduin ignored it, but instead focused his attention on the soft leather cloth. He carefully spread the cloth flat on the ground, and then tapped the flat cloth lightly with his wand.

And what happened next made the surrounding people widen their eyes.

Between the pieces of leather cloth, layers of light spots suddenly appeared, densely packed, and then gradually changed into a three-dimensional terrain, with 15 figures on it. After everyone carefully identified them, they found that it was themselves, and then they realized that the three-dimensional graphics showed the place where they were now.

"This echo map can sense and identify the terrain within a three-kilometer radius, and can be adjusted arbitrarily in direction, distance, and size according to the user's needs."

As Anduin spoke, the wand in his hand tapped the map again, and soon the picture on the three-dimensional terrain map immediately shrank, and the figures of these Aurors instantly became like ants.

"So that's how it is. With this equipment, we can scout the smuggling site in advance." Moody on the side was also very excited at this time, and then couldn't wait to urge Anduin.

Anduin also knew that now was not the time to show off, so he immediately zoomed in on the perspective and scanned inch by inch to the north along the direction he sensed.

And when he pushed the perspective almost to the edge of the echo map, and was almost to the sea, he finally found the target.

Two people were standing upright on a relatively low seaside cliff.

After Anduin discovered this scene, he zoomed in on the perspective again and completely focused on the two people.

To be honest, the image formed by the echo curse scan is not particularly clear, but the basic outline of the affairs can still be displayed.

Judging from the scanned three-dimensional graphics, the two people are not much different in height. After comparing with the nearby reference objects, it can be seen that they are two men of about 1.8 meters, and both of them are wearing the Silver Spear Club's iconic faceless masks.

"These are two Silver Spears, why are there only two of them? Don't these guys usually gather a bunch of collaborators to act together?" Moody originally thought that he could see a bunch of wizards and boxes of captured magical creatures like the last time he raided the smuggling site, but is that all?

"Don't worry." Anduin seemed to have noticed something, "Didn't you find that the behavior of these two people is very strange? They are just standing quietly by the sea, looking a bit like they are waiting for someone."

"Oh? What do you mean?" Moody also reacted at this time, and after careful observation, he found that this was indeed the case.

"What time was their last transfer of magical animals?" Anduin tilted his head and asked a group of Aurors.

"The last time we found them was at about 10:30 in the evening. It was an encounter at that time. They were taking that big box of Peruvian Vipertooths near the previous one to prepare to camp.

At that time, we were relying on the clues we had gained from the previous smuggling to search along the route. One of the teams happened to run into them, and then they fought. At that time, we were all equipped with communication charms, and the other teams immediately supported after receiving the emergency communication. At that time, they were caught off guard and easily took down those people." Mavis tilted her head and recalled, and then said to Anduin.

"The time is 9:30 now, it seems that those smugglers have not arrived yet." Anduin nodded, then tilted his head and asked Moody for his opinion, "Should we go up and take them down directly, or wait for the smugglers to arrive at the scene and catch them all in one fell swoop?"

"Of course, it's a clean sweep. Although the two Silver Spears in charge may be more difficult to deal with, but with the two of us here, it shouldn't be a problem to block them."
