The afternoon in the Death Desert is still as hot as fire, but at a glance, it is already the early autumn of the Thorny Continent.
On this day, the Thorn Mercenary Group ushered in their first war magic machine. This may also be the first war magic machine in this era. It awakens together with the ancient royal family that has been sleeping for thousands of years, and is bound to be glorious.
But they will eventually surrender to him. The corners of Aranza's lips curled up slightly as she looked at the three-meter-tall magical war machine in front of her. Perhaps its owner would betray him, but they would always become his swords.
Smart Arms, this is a humanoid magic war machine, at least it looks like it. It has metal limbs, a round belly, and the light of the magic circle shimmers at the joints. Yvette patted the war with satisfaction
The "leg" of the magic machine said: "Now, do you believe in my ability?"
Jiexi crossed her arms, leaned against Aranza, and said nonchalantly: "Yes, Your Royal Highness, but we don't need such a guy."
Yvette frowned and said, "But I need it."
"You know, your idea is not wrong, but you are wrong when you say it out loud," Jie Xi said with a smile, "But I don't mind saying it directly, your toy is nothing without the magic crystal, but...
I have a lot of these things; and your people - your people are just skeletons without the Thorn Mercenary Group."
"What do you mean?"
"I just hope that we can treat each other as friends and partners. You like your toys, but they will always be cold."
Yvette was silent and just sighed. Jeexi pursed her lips and chuckled, stretched out her hand to put the smart weapon into the space ring. Such a big thing was definitely not suitable for dragging around. Then, Jeexi looked at everyone present,
Said: "Okay, Aranza, you decide where to go next."
Aranza spread out the map in his hand and said, "Well, our next goal is Kay State."
Hearing this, Jessie asked: "Isn't Kay State very close to Brett City? Aranza, the owner of Brett City is Trothy Lane, and she is a general under Duke Alsis."
"Well, believe me, instead of worrying about her, it's better to worry about other enemies. Well... Troxi will not be our enemy, I can guarantee it."
At this time, Carew moved his strong body to hit the map. It was obvious that his heart was thinner than his body. The big man analyzed it carefully and said: "If Troxi Lane will not be our enemy, then it is okay.
Anxin has developed in Kay State, and she is the only force belonging to the Lane family there."
Jessie rubbed her temples helplessly. He always felt that there was some special relationship between Aranza and Trothy, which made her very reluctant for him to have contact with Trothy. But aside from these, Kay State was indeed very
As a good place for development, Jie Xi recalled the information about Kai Yi State and said: "Then go to Noland City in Kai Yi State. To the west of it is the Misril Mountains, and across the mountains is the Azshara Primeval Forest. If
We want to capture that city, and if necessary, we can ask Silas to ask the Thunder Wolf King to send some flying monsters. There, we won’t have to worry about being attacked from both sides."
Aranza chuckled, put her arms around Jexi's shoulders, and said, "Look, you think it's nice there too."
Dolores on the side asked curiously: "So, are we going to capture a city?"
"No, although it is a time of war, it is illegal to seize a city in the name of a mercenary group, and it will inevitably be attacked by the crowd. People do not want the mercenary guild to directly intervene in the war, and the mercenary guild does not want to do this.
Do."
"Your human race's rules are really troublesome." Dolores stuck out her tongue.
Finally, Aranza looked around at his current companions and asked, "Well, does anyone have any objections?"
No one objected to his choice.
After confirming the destination, everyone packed up their things, dealt with the traces left in the Abel Mountains, and set off towards Beifeng Town. They needed to find a caravan there to hitch a ride to the nearest city, and then reach Nolan via airship.
Decheng.
The journey went smoothly, even faster than planned, because as soon as they left the Abel Mountains, they met a small group of horse bandits. So everyone found a means of transportation. Although Silas was injured, it was not a problem.
Running, for the huge thunder wolf of the royal species, running is a way to heal the body.
In this way, after nearly half a month of travel, everyone finally found the tower in a city, boarded the airship, and flew towards Brett City.
This airship was specially chosen by Yvette. According to her, this airship is closer to the style of the Yulia Dynasty than other airships.
The owner of the airship is a strong middle-aged man with a beard. Unlike other airships, this airship has this middle-aged man alone. He is responsible for driving, adding magic crystals and other tasks.
He held a pipe made of sweet maple wood and smoked it one after another, saying: "I say, you have really found the right person. From here to Kay State, you have to fly through the Floating Wind Forest, the Dedeta Mountains and many other places."
There is no man's land in the sky. No one else dares to fly this line, but I dare."
Aranza leaned on the railing at the bow of the ship, admiring the mountains at his feet. When he heard what the owner of the airship said, he asked curiously: "Well, what is the no-man's land in the sky? Are there people living in the sky?"
The owner of the airship smiled and said: "Haha, legend has it that there really is a city flying in the sky. Of course, that's not what I'm talking about. The no-man's land in the sky means that there is no fixed airship route in this area, and there is no dedicated tower responsible for the safety here. So.
You may encounter sky pirates in this area."
"Well, I hope I can. I haven't seen a battle in the air."
The owner of the airship looked at Aranza with disdain and said: "Air combat is not as fun as you think. If we are shot down by a sky pirate with a heavy crossbow, we will have to meet again in the next life."
At this time, Dolores was next to Aranza and asked: "Why are they fighting? Isn't their purpose to steal money?"
"This Elf beauty, I take it you are an archer, right? Crossbow arrows don't have long eyes. It's common for you to accidentally hit the target when you want to hit it."
Dolores then thought about it. The speed of the airship was not slow. Shooting at the trajectory of the airship, it was hard to say where it would hit.
Dolores asked strangely: "Then why do you dare to fly here?"
"Hehe," the airship owner secretly laughed and said, "You know, those nobles don't allow low-class people like us to arm the airship, but I'll tell you the truth, my airship is equipped with two heavy crossbows. If you have time,
If thieves dare to come, I will shoot them to the ground!"
There really are sky pirates who dare to come.
About the fourth day in the sky, everyone discovered a strange black dot in the morning light. After a while, the black dot grew larger and larger in everyone's field of vision, and finally revealed its appearance——
An airship covered in pitch black with a huge skull pattern painted on its hull.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!" The owner of the airship ran into the cabin and shouted, and the sleeping members of the Thorn Mercenary Group were awakened and ran to the deck one after another.
The airship of the sky pirate circled the airship several times, trying to dock with the airship, but the owner of the airship deliberately deviated from the direction, so that they could only miss his airship. The owner of the airship obviously did not buy the air pirate.
Account. The two airships took a whole morning to complete a few simple actions in the air.
In the end, the sky pirates took the lead in attacking, intending to use force to intimidate. A huge crossbow arrow pierced the sky and came towards us. It saw that its foothold was the deck where everyone was standing.
"Haha, look at my unrestrained pillar." Kalu laughed loudly and rushed towards the crossbow. The big pillar swept up a strong wind and hit the arrow of the crossbow. The trajectory of the crossbow was changed and it jumped over the airship, but Kalu also
It was knocked back by the earthquake. This is still a relatively small crossbow. If it were a heavy giant crossbow used by the army, Karu's first thought would probably be to retreat instead of shooting.
"Awesome!" the owner of the airship praised, and then called Jie Xi and said, "Little girl, help me control the airship. If it's okay, just grab the roulette wheel and don't let it spin around. You and I will move the weight
crossbow."
The owner of the airship and Aranza who was pointed out by him pulled out the heavy crossbow hidden in the cabin in the blink of an eye.
The owner of the airship mounted the crossbow, adjusted the angle, and said: "Look at me!"
"Bang!"
A crossbow arrow flew from the deck and rushed towards the sky pirate's airship. However, its speed was still a little slower and it landed on the line that the hostile airship had just crossed.
The next attack didn't go well either. When the opponent saw us fighting back, he stopped holding back. He fired three arrows in a row, two of which directly hit the hull of the boat. Everyone was scared to the point where their courage was raised in their throats. Jiexi even
Teleportation scrolls were directly given to everyone, just in case. The two arrows failed to shoot down the airship, and the third arrow was blocked by Karu again.
The owner of the airship only had six arrows in his hand. Excluding the first shot, three of the next four arrows missed. One shot hit, but it did not pose much of a threat. Everyone could even hear the disdain coming from the other side.
Just when the owner of the airship felt deeply annoyed and was about to fire the last crossbow arrow, Yvette, who had been watching, sighed, stepped forward and said, "Let me do it."
The owner of the airship was stunned and said, "Can you use this thing?"
"If I can't do it, no one can." Yvette said confidently, taking over the position of airship master.
Nocking the arrow, adjusting the angle, the final crossbow shot through the air.
"Bang!"
With a loud noise, the airship owner was dumbfounded and the members of the Thorn Mercenary Group said "Sure enough," the crossbow accurately hit the Sky Pirate's airship. Moreover, it clearly hit the opponent's magic extraction device, and the other side was hit by the crossbow.
The magic light flickered in the middle position, and the airship swayed in the air for a moment, then fell to the ground in an arc.
This is Yvette, the girl who knows the magic machine best.
