Compared with the grassland country full of strong winds and heavy rains, the summer in Kaoqi is obviously much longer.
Perhaps because it is easier to accumulate a lot of heat inland, perhaps because there are not so many storms, the summer in the Kaoqi Kingdom is far hotter than other places.
For Vedsk in this scorching sun, it is the most leisurely season for high-ranking officials and wealthy people who live affluent lives.
Because most of them would choose this time to leave the bustling capital and go to country villas or secluded mountain manors in the suburbs to escape the unbearable heat and boredom.
Because of this, Vedsk at this time has a tranquility that it did not have in the past.
But at this moment, the tranquility has long been replaced by the discussion.
Unusually, those high-ranking nobles who were supposed to go out for summer vacation did not leave Vedsk. Those nobles who held public offices were unable to find time because they were busy with official duties, while their wives and children did not want to miss that time. Great miracle and choose to stay here.
The miracle that the people of Vedsk talked about was the huge aerial battleship that could be seen flying slowly in the sky every day.
People living in Vedsk get up early at five or six o'clock every morning. They either go to the window or stand on the street or balcony. Everyone is waiting quietly towards the southeast with their heads raised.
There is almost no delay, and the huge air battleship always appears in people's sight at half past six. The hull of the ship, which is more than ten meters long and several meters wide, makes the Vedsk people below see it as if Intoxicated.
Many people even chased the air battleship and flew through the streets.
At this time, the galloping crowds, carriages and citizens riding horses form a long stream of people.
Suddenly, Vedsk, which should have been filled with silence and tranquility, became as joyful and noisy as a festival.
Cheers could be heard everywhere, and the Vedsk people cheered vigorously, "Long live Kaaoch, long live His Majesty the King."
The air battleship always flies slowly over the city of Vedsk, and the whole process takes about an hour and a half.
The Vedsk people had already discovered that the speed of this spaceship was obviously much faster than it seemed.
This hour and a half is the most exciting and joyful time for the Vedsk people, and this excitement will never dissipate.
Because of this, the mornings in Vedsk, which always seemed so peaceful in the past, have now become extremely noisy, and the bars and restaurants that had always had the worst business in the mornings have now become extremely popular.
People from Vedsk who have seen the excitement will come to these gathering places in groups and talk about every detail of what they saw today.
Those various bars and restaurants have become a place for shouting and arguing, and for arranging details.
Almost everyone is here, describing in detail what they saw.
Whenever opinions cannot be unified, quarrels are inevitable.
The most appropriate arbiter at this time is naturally the bartender at the bar, because they hear all kinds of rumors almost every day, and many people come to them every day to gather all the details.
There are also countless gossips spread among the Vedsk people through their mouths.
Every morning, Vedsk was always immersed in joy and mirth, and all of this was exactly what the strange man wanted to see.
This was originally the idea she came up with, and even her brother, the prime minister known for his scheming, was amazed by it.
Not only him, but even His Majesty the Emperor had to admit that the wife he married was a quite cunning figure.
But this cunning is exactly what he needs most at this moment.
The war on the front line was obviously fruitless, wasted countless money, and cost many soldiers their lives. The Kaoqi people originally felt extremely disappointed and lost their confidence and pride.
But now, just letting an imperfect air battleship fly slowly over Vedsk every day immediately makes all Vedsk people excited, and once again ignites the enthusiasm of the people of the most powerful country. The sense of pride and honor is an effect that no speech or grand military parade can achieve.
But deep inside Horkels III still felt a deep sense of loss.
Because at this moment, there was a thick stack of reports in front of him.
The bottom stack contains detailed and comprehensive information about Sophien's recent situation, as well as the analysis results of this information.
The top stack was given to him by the spies under his direct jurisdiction, reporting that all the intelligence agencies in the Kingdom of Leiding had been completely uprooted overnight.
These two thick piles of documents gave Horkels III a splitting headache, and a deep sense of powerlessness arose in his heart.
Because only he knows best how much hard work all this has cost him and Somilet, and what a huge price it has cost.
Almost every one of the secretly arranged supporters lurking in the upper echelons of Sophie was built with countless gold coins.
In order to bribe them, Hagero and Somyret spent countless prices. Among them, Kweizhi, the chairman of the Magic Association, spent more than a dozen of their collections of precious books excavated from the ruins of the ancient magic empire. Classics.
After paying such a huge price, all the lurkers were wiped out after more than a month of glory.
Almost none of the lurkers were left, and they were all hung in various squares of the ancient royal city. Those gallows caused all the lurkers to die in pain, and at the same time, they also reduced the countless money Kaoqi spent on them. Made a bubble.
Even among the lurkers, there were a few particularly cunning and covert characters who survived, but they had already been shocked by the wanton killings and bloody and tough steel wrists.
Horkels III simply did not believe that it was possible to get these people to serve him.
However, Sophie's fiasco was not a big deal to him. After all, the people he bribed were all subjects of the Kingdom of Sophie.
However, the intelligence network that was uprooted in the Kingdom of Leiding made His Majesty feel heartbroken.
These spies were all trained by Hegeelo, Somyret and he spent countless efforts and sacrifices, and even spent nearly ten years.
In fact, Haguero and Somyret were very happy to hand over their control over the army and officials, but for the last trump card in their hands! ! Those spies refused to take it out no matter what.
When Horkels III thought about the scheming and methods he spent to obtain those spies, he felt even more distressed.
In order to make the spies absolutely loyal to him, he spent countless amounts of money to feed these cunning guys who were not afraid of death, and spent countless efforts to firmly control their families.
But now all his hard work has been turned into water, and what worries him even more is that in the hands of the controller, absolutely no one can keep secrets.
Presumably at this moment, countless confidential information about the Kaoqi Kingdom has been presented on the desks of the upper-level figures in the controller organization.
The only thing he was thankful for was that the chief executive who was the most troublesome to him was already dying and his life was about to come to an end.
Judging from various signs, the Kingdom of Lading will not launch an attack on the Kingdom of Kaoqi for the time being.
However, this does not make His Majesty the Emperor much more relaxed. Although there is currently no threat from the north that worries and frightens him the most, a powerful enemy has already stood up in the west.
He and Somyret didn't even dare to let the ministers know that the Sophie Kingdom had declared a state of war.
Because both he and Somyret knew very well how the people of Kaoqi would react if they knew that Sophie was actually waving the flag of war.
In the past year, the power of the Kaoqi Kingdom reached its peak.
However, the world has almost regarded this year as the year when the reputation of Sophie's benefactor spread to every corner of the world.
A year ago, whether in the eyes of the Kaoqi people, the Lading people, or even the Montita people, the Sophien Kingdom was still an ancient and somewhat declining kingdom.
But at this moment, this ancient kingdom has become almost dominant in everyone's minds.
The names of the Four Sages have long become synonymous with power and unstoppability. Especially Enleco, one of the Four Sages, is regarded as a figure far beyond all the great wizards.
Almost everyone believes that he alone is enough to fight against the six magicians, not to mention that behind him, there is a more terrifying and powerful Princess.
Even for His Majesty, the pair of master and disciple are also a headache for him.
At the beginning, he originally planned to use well-planned assassinations to completely eliminate the two people who gave him the most headaches.
The initial stages of the plan seemed to be going quite smoothly.
But now, Horkels III is increasingly unsure whether that action, as Hagrid witnessed with his own eyes, has killed the strongest of the four extraordinary magic apprentices in Sophien Kingdom. Turned into ashes and dust.
Throwing the last page of the report on top of the thick stack of documents, the Supreme Leader slowly walked toward the door. At this moment, he needed to face his most important ministers.
Coming out of the study room that even Hegeiro and Somyret could not enter, there was the hall outside.
At this moment, there were only Milinda and Drex in the hall.
Milinda crossed her feet as usual, leisurely holding a tall glass filled with wine and sitting on the sofa.
Drekes, on the other hand, stood quietly aside with his hands lowered. His face and hands were tightly wrapped in the large red robe, looking so strange and mysterious.
There is no so-called door in this hall, but on the ground in a corner of the hall, there is an extremely delicate teleportation magic circle carved into it.
I remember that at the beginning, His Majesty used each other and guarded against his two close friends. Because of this, he carefully built this study with no doors or windows and could only be entered and exited through this special magic circle.
"How's Laiding doing?" Horkels III asked the super magician standing aside, wearing a red robe.
Drex naturally knew what His Majesty wanted to know.
He raised his head slightly, stared at His Majesty the Emperor, and then said slowly: "Your Majesty, the person you are most worried about has left this world."
"Me? What am I most worried about? Dear Drakes, you must be the most relaxed and happy about that person's death, right?" Horkels III smiled and said.
"Yes, Your Majesty, but I also feel deep regret that I could not give her a fatal blow myself, and that I could not make her see the new power that I have now realized and possessed." Drakes said calmly. .
Horkels III was quite concerned about the new power mentioned by the royal mage. He was slightly moved, but he soon regained his composure.
Although he once felt an extremely ominous feeling when he learned that this power existed, he also saw a glimmer of light. If this power could be used for him, it would undoubtedly be able to get him out of the predicament at hand.
"Drekes, you'd better be careful. On this matter, I quite agree with the views of the evil mage Trode. That kind of power is really unlucky. You know, the one at the beginning was extremely powerful and almost invincible. The ancient empire was lost due to this kind of power." Milinda next to her obviously didn't care about this, she said sharply.
Drekes didn't care at all about this strange woman. When he hired Sommeret, he never stopped listening to this woman's harsh and sarcastic words.
What's more, Drekes herself also knows very well that what Milinda or the evil mage Trode said is absolutely correct.
That kind of power was indeed very ominous, but he had no choice because he was deeply attracted by that kind of power and indulged in the vast world that he had never seen before.
The highest achievement of the ancient magic empire was presented before his eyes. As a magician, how could he resist the most deadly and powerful temptation.
In fact, when he chose that kind of power, he had already realized it. Even if the punishment he received in the end was more terrible than death, it could not stop him from exploring and seeking this kind of power.
Because this is the most precious wealth that the gods unintentionally left to mankind, and it is also the most fatal flaw, which is the extremely strong desire to learn and curiosity.
Drekes even believed that when faced with such a choice, a real magician would definitely make the same choice as him without hesitation.
At least, he believed that Sophie's little magic apprentice and his crazy teacher would definitely be like this.
Sometimes, Drakes even guessed that maybe he and the two guys who had become his biggest enemies would have far more understanding and trust than ordinary people, because they were the same kind of people, full of knowledge and power. He has endless desire and lust, but he doesn't care about anything else.
Because of this, Drakes just said calmly: "Thank you, Miss Milinda, for the reminder, but at this moment, only this kind of power can compete with those two enemies whose strength far exceeds that of any other great magician. "
Having said this, he suddenly paused because he remembered the unknown new ability he had seen the evil mage Trode display in the Montita Grassland.
"Perhaps Trode himself has thought of this. As far as I know, he is also conducting research in this area, but our choices of directions are slightly different."
"I'm afraid Trode wants to bypass the ultimate goal of completely destroying the Magic Empire and find another possible path. And I am following the ancient footprints and pursuing the highest achievement I have ever achieved back then."
Both Horkels III and Milinda were very interested in Trode's words, because they did not know that the evil mage Trode was also seeking the ultimate power that could destroy everything. Trode was originally a character full of countless mysteries, and he had far more mysteries than Drakes.
And the biggest one among the many mysteries is undoubtedly how this guy who doesn't look like a kind person can be so kind to Hagrid, who is also not loved by others.
Whether it was Horkels III, Sommeret, or even Milinda, they all felt deeply jealous because of this when they were children.
But it all started as a puzzle that baffled them and was difficult to understand.
They even speculated that Hagrid was the unknown illegitimate son of the evil mage Trode, rather than the true descendant of the unfortunate family. However, this suspicion eventually disappeared as Hagrid fell in love and couldn't extricate himself. He followed the same path as his ancestors in previous generations without defeating himself.
Because of this, they feel more and more mysterious and incredible about the evil mage Trode.
"Trod is also studying the ultimate power?" Milinda couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, and I believe that the progress he has made now has far exceeded mine. He has already put some of it into practical use, and his body has probably almost reached the point of immortality." Drekes said.
"immortal?"
Horkels III sighed heavily. He suddenly felt extremely funny, as if history had returned to its original starting point.
The most ominous and alluring thing, the immortal body, has once again appeared in this world. Does this indicate that the moment to change history has arrived
And who will be the loser this time
Is it the Kingdom of Kaoqi, which was built on the remnants of the ancient empire, or is it another winner that he absolutely does not want to see
"The little magic apprentice who should have been reduced to ashes, but now judging from various signs, is still alive and kicking in this world, does he also have an immortal body?" Milinda said in a mocking tone. asked.
This unexpected sentence made the heart of the contemplative Horkels III tremble.
This was indeed something he had never thought of.
Before that, all his conjectures revolved around the conspiracy and traps that he was familiar with and good at.
Obviously for him, the best explanation is that Sophie's apprentice or the Majesty of the Montita Kingdom had already anticipated everything that might happen. They set a huge trap in advance. Enleco His death was originally a trap.
The purpose of this trap is to make Hegeero, Somyret, and himself take their guard off their guard, so that the entire assassination operation that was planned and prepared ten years ago can be fully implemented.
Kaoqi's initiative to take action not only forced the Kingdom of Sophie, which had no intention of going to war, to step into the most dangerous frontier, but also forced the Kingdom of Kaoqi to establish a secret that took a full ten years to build. The network is completely exposed.
Whenever he thought of these, His Majesty the Supreme Emperor felt a little regretful. He attributed all this to his opponent's extraordinary foresight ability, as well as the trap within the trap and the conspiracy within the conspiracy. He was really extremely clever.
However, at this moment, Milinda's unexpected words shocked the Supreme Majesty.
Because, he suddenly thought of another possibility.
Perhaps the scene that Hegeiro saw was not a brilliant and seamless performance.
That Sophie's little magic apprentice was indeed reduced to ashes.
However, the powerful enemy who should have died completely has an immortal body.
Immortality is not something that is out of reach in the first place. In the late Magic Empire, the secret method of immortality had been thoroughly studied.
At this moment, Horkels III vaguely felt that the wheel of history had entered another cycle.
Since the immortal body can reappear in the body of the evil mage Trode, Sophie's little magic apprentice may also have the same ability.
"The secret method of immortality." Drakes next to him also murmured to himself. Obviously, what he was thinking was no different from that of the supreme majesty. "For an enemy with an immortal body, how can we make him truly die?" Horkels III frowned and asked. The person he was asking was obviously the palace mage.
"If you can't know how to gain immortality, you can't know how to kill someone who has immortality." Drakes answered simply.
Horkels III nodded thoughtfully. He glanced at Drechs, and then said slowly and meaningfully: "Then you will work hard to find the secret method of eternal life. If you gain something as a result of your efforts, , Milinda and I really want to try the joy of getting rid of death."
Having said this, Horkels III seemed to become very happy, and he walked directly towards the teleportation magic circle.
"Let's go see how things go with Hegeello and Somyret. After all, what they have in their hands is our real trump card." His Majesty the Supreme Emperor said with a smile.
"I really don't understand why you asked Hagrid to study something like that. This should have been the responsibility of the Magic Corps." Milinda was obviously very dissatisfied with this, she said coldly.
"My dearest, you must admit that Hagrid risked his life to steal those flying boats. He will definitely not be willing to let these things that he worked so hard to get back fall into your hands. ." Horkels III persuaded with a smile.
"What's more, although he also possesses magical martial arts skills, Hagrid is obviously more suitable to control those flying boats than you. His choice is indeed incredible. However, you have to admit that obviously he did find something that you have not found. s things."
"Although he came into contact with magic martial arts much later than you, he seems to have a more thorough understanding of magic martial arts now."
Horkels III suddenly became serious, he said while thinking.
"Duke Hegeero has obviously transcended his status as a warrior. He gave up using magic to enhance the power of martial arts, and instead chose other simple, but obviously very useful abilities."
"Perhaps this is the truly perfect combination of magic and martial arts. Use martial arts to strengthen yourself, and use magic to gain extra power!"
"Although Duke Haguero may not be able to defeat an opponent who uses magic to enhance his martial arts in a fair duel, but if the duelist can choose the battlefield and there are no restrictions on the means of duel, I'm afraid Haguero will Duke Luo will win the final victory because he has found a way to exert his greatest strength." Drakes also nodded and said.
"It's a pity that we know too little about magical martial arts." Milinda obviously did not intend to admit that Hagrid was stronger than her, which was not allowed by her honor and vanity.
Holding the wristband on her left arm with her right hand, she softly recited the incantation of teleportation magic. For Milinda now, long-distance teleportation through the magic circle is easy.
She is no longer the layman in magic she once was.
A buzzing sound sounded from all directions, and white light enveloped her body.
The white light becomes increasingly dense and thick.
Suddenly, all the white light disappeared without a trace, and Milinda, who was originally shrouded in white light, also disappeared.
The same buzzing sound and dense white light appeared on the top of a castle deep in a mountain col in the remote southeast of Vedsk.
After the white light dissipated, His Majesty's figure was revealed.
Milinda slowly walked to the front of the platform, holding the stone wall with both hands, and looked into the distance.
I saw hundreds of airships parked densely in the broad yet extremely deep mountain valley.
Most of these flying boats are exactly the same as the ones that fly over Vedsk every day.
But some are different.
They are longer and larger than other airships. The largest airship is no different from a medium-sized warship traveling on the sea.
Milinda stared at the huge flying boat, staring at the battleship named after her.
Staring at the high-pitched bow, staring at the five pairs of huge and transparent golden wings tightly fixed on both sides of the ship's side.
"Are you mesmerized again?"
Suddenly, His Majesty the Emperor's leisurely voice came from behind.
"She is my baby, I can never see enough of her." Milinda said slowly, completely different from her past, her expression looked so solemn at this moment.
"She is also my treasure. She will become the most powerful flagship in this invincible fleet." Horkels III said with a smile.
At this moment, suddenly a cold voice came from below the castle.
"The flagship always stays in the safest place. Although it does look very powerful, it is more appropriate to say that it is a symbol or decoration than a battleship."
Naturally, the only people who would ridicule Horkels III so brazenly were his bad friends back then.
Then I heard another voice say: "Hagero, I think you are a little jealous. When this battleship was just completed, you were not as happy as my sister."
Regarding what Somiret said, Haguero did not intend to refute. He shrugged slightly and said calmly: "I have changed my mind now. Such a huge but lackluster battleship can only be regarded as For decoration, I would rather have a nimble and fast swordfish than sit on a clumsy killer whale."
Before Hegeero could finish speaking, His Majesty had already jumped off the high platform.
The attendants and guards turned a blind eye to this "behavior" that was absolutely abnormal and absolutely violated any royal etiquette tradition.
Obviously few people here regard this extremely strange Majesty as a woman.
"It's just that this clumsy killer whale you are talking about has the capital to travel freely. It can easily turn everything around it into a sea of fire and ruins."
"And that fast swordfish only has one sharp thorn. Unless it can hit the target, it can hardly pose any threat to anyone." Milinda said tit for tat, obviously for her biggest opponent. , she had no intention of giving in at all.
However, Haguero did not intend to let the war continue. He shrugged his shoulders and turned his head away.
"Hagero, I really want to know how your battleship has been modified? Maybe the dispute between the swordfish and the killer whale will bring us the most correct choice and the most reasonable tactics."
Horkels III walked over slowly. As the king of a country, he naturally could not jump off the platform like Milinda did. Following Hagero, everyone came to the "shipyard" built in a huge cave.
The surrounding scaffolding has been removed, and a long and slender warship is moored on the windowsill.
Just as Hegeiro just described, this battleship does look like a swordfish.
Of course, this does not refer to the thin and long spike specially made at the front end, but because this battleship does not have only two pairs of wings like other battleships.
In the center of its back, there is a row of wings that are very similar to the dorsal fin of a swordfish.
"I can't imagine, if this thing doesn't have another row of wings under its belly, how can it keep itself from turning somersaults in mid-air?" Milinda said disapprovingly.
"This is a secret, but we will soon know whether my method can be successful." Hagrid said with a sneer.
With that said, he flew up and jumped onto the airship, followed closely by several magicians and a group of soldiers one after another through the ramps on both sides and climbed onto the airship. The people nearby all ducked into the two long solid bunkers on both sides of the dock.
A gust of wind suddenly rose out of the sky, and on both sides of the airship, the ten pairs of thin golden wings that had been quietly clinging to the side of the ship slowly opened.
The countless fine patterns on the thin wings suddenly radiated bright golden light. From a distance, they looked like a dense network of fine blood vessels, suddenly filled with blood, but the blood was as beautiful as gold. s color.
The strong wind blew in all directions, blowing away everything that was not fixed in the dock.
With the sweeping strong wind, the slender battleship slowly floated up, and it was seen floating leisurely about two meters above the ground.
Suddenly, a pair of small wings emerged from the originally smooth and flat bottom of the boat.
The small wings like ventral fins make this slender battleship look more like a swordfish floating in the air.
However, neither Milinda nor Horkels III believed that such a design was just for publicity.
Because they all know Haggero's temperament well, and he is definitely not the kind of person who is just for appearance and not unrealistic.
What's more, they also saw the top row of wings standing erect like dorsal fins, which were also gradually filled with golden light as fine as a network.
The raging wind obviously proved how powerful these slightly vibrating wings were.
Suddenly, there was a buzzing sound that was much louder than other battleships, making the entire dock tremble.
Amidst the noise of creaking beams and scaffolding, the slender battleship slowly sailed towards the entrance of the huge cave.
At first, its speed was so slow, but as soon as it left the cave that was too small and too restrained for it to show its hands and feet, its speed suddenly accelerated, and in the blink of an eye, it disappeared. In the blue sky.
Horkels III and Milinda flew to the hillside, looking up at the sky.
Only an extremely small black spot could be seen in the sky, and the black spot quickly penetrated into the white, soft and thick clouds, like cotton balls.
"The speed of this thing is not slow."
Milinda sighed softly and said, obviously she knew very well that this time she was at a disadvantage in the contest with Hegeero.
"Aren't you obviously scornful of the power possessed by this swordfish?" Horkels III asked with a smile.
"Is this sarcasm? Or a reminder?" Milinda asked coldly.
His Majesty, naturally, did not dare to make his wife unhappy. In the Kingdom of Kaoqi, women were the real leaders.
The supreme emperor had no intention of arousing the anger of his own paladin, because he knew very well that Milinda would probably use her superb martial arts to make him embarrassed on the spot in front of his attendants and courtiers.
Just like before, His Majesty the Emperor shrugged his shoulders. He looked at the sky and suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Maybe I will have to spend a large amount of money from the treasury to renovate the warships that have been built."
Having said this, His Majesty, the Supreme Majesty, smiled and asked the person next to him: "How many wings do you plan to give your baby?"
"It depends on how much it costs me."
"Although, in terms of martial arts, I like weird and eccentric moves, and am good at offense and assault. However, Hagero's martial arts is more perfect and pursues a balance between offense and defense."
"However, our pursuit of tactics is exactly the opposite. I like to prepare everything, and then conduct a battle on the battlefield I have chosen that is not far from what I thought in advance."
"Hageello, on the other hand, obviously prefers to use unexpected and swift attacks, causing his opponents to suffer fatal blows in an instant. He likes to take risks in exchange for victory."
"Our style, our understanding of war, has resulted in our choice of weapon types, which is completely different from Hagero."
"Presumably, when Hageello first established the Knights of the Wind, even you were very surprised. There must not be many people who can understand this unexpected choice made by Hageello. However, for this But I had expected it."
"Abandon defense, choose absolute attack, and the maximum possible speed. This is the war that Hageello is good at. This is Hageello's understanding of victory."
"And I prefer cavalry wearing heavy armor, and soldiers also wearing heavy armor."
"Because of this, I was able to say with certainty that if Hagrid and I had a duel on the battlefield, I would definitely win the final victory." Milinda said calmly.
"I thought you were just unhappy at first," His Majesty said in a joke.
"My tactics happen to be Haggero's nemesis. Although his raids are fast and violent, they have a fatal weakness, which is strength and sustainability."
"That battleship that pushes the speed to the extreme is very much in line with Hagero's characteristics. That is what he is good at and the choice he likes." Milinda said slowly.
"So, you still like the 'baby' filled with ballistae and five explosive formations?" Horcoles III asked with a smile.
"Perhaps, I will add a few more wings to my baby." Milinda said noncommittally.
Horkels III smiled and shrugged his shoulders. Apparently, he was already well aware of his wife's fickleness.
At this time, the small black dot had emerged from the clouds.
I saw it turn around and fly directly towards here.
If other flying boats are like wild geese soaring in the sky, then it is undoubtedly the king of speed among birds - the swift that competes with lightning in wind and rain.
The buzzing sound became louder and louder, even slightly harsh.
It was just a small dot just now, but a moment later, the slender air battleship revealed its slender and majestic figure in front of everyone.
Like a hurricane sweeping across the land.
The raging wind blew everything around far away.
Horkels III quickly set up a barrier to surround himself and Tuantuan.
The guards beside him were not so lucky.
The sweeping wind blew them away like fallen leaves.
Fortunately, each of them was highly skilled and quick in movement, so they did not suffer much damage when they landed.
However, no one dared to complain at all against Duke Hegeero.
In addition, seeing the emperor and Zheng standing there leisurely on the hillside, these attendants could only complain in their hearts why they never had the ability to use magic.
After the battleship rushed forward for several hundred meters, it gradually stopped.
It floated quietly in the air, its dorsal fins that were trembling slightly had stopped, and the pair of pelvic fins had already been retracted.
The wings on both sides were still trembling slightly, making a subtle buzzing sound, and the slender battleship was gliding slowly and awkwardly.
It was parked on a slipway, and three huge plier-like brackets locked the slender aerial battleship firmly.
When those wings had just folded up to the sides of the battleship, His Majesty couldn't wait to fly there.
She jumped onto the deck of the battleship with a slight leap.
The way the long skirt floated and the graceful figure truly amazed everyone who witnessed it.
Such elegant and beautiful movements, such light and elegant posture, can really only be described as "excellent art".
However, such a beautiful move was obviously incompatible with his extremely noble status. Whenever he thought of this, both the attendants and Horkels III himself could only sigh and shake their heads.
This is the kingdom of Kaoqi. She is the most powerful in the world, and at the same time the most strange and absurd.
However, His Majesty himself obviously had no feeling at all, and did not even care whether her behavior attracted criticism from others.
She got into the cabin.
The narrowness of the cabin was what she had expected, but Milinda still did not expect that Haguero would take extreme measures in order to maximize the speed of the battleship.
There is almost no space for people to stay in the cabin.
Everyone can only sit in their own seat, and there is only one aisle in the center that allows people to pass sideways.
And to save space, many seats are set up above other people's heads.
Haguero's position is at the very end of the battleship, and his own position is only slightly wider than others.
In such a small space, it is arranged in an orderly manner. On the back are two exquisite cabinets facing each other, and the cabinets are covered with small partitions.
There is a roll of blueprints stuffed in each compartment. Milinda is no stranger to these. That is where the map is placed. Every battleship has such an arrangement.
On the front side of Hegeello, there are two small windows on the left and right.
Through these two small windows, you can see the scene outside.
A movable partition is placed across Hagrid's chest. This peculiar desk is an extremely space-saving design.
Another movable partition is hung on the ceiling above the tables and chairs, with a crystal clear magic mirror plate inlaid on it.
Hagrid raised his head slightly and could clearly see the scene revealed in the mirror.
"Not bad! The most efficient arrangement." Hagrid asked leisurely.
"If crowding is a symbol of efficiency, then people in wheelchairs are undoubtedly the most efficient guys." Milinda said in her usual mocking tone.
Hagrid didn't take Milinda's ridicule seriously at all. He pointed straight ahead and said proudly: "Look at the thin thorn you just mentioned. Maybe you will feel jealous."
In fact, Milinda had already noticed the dense, complicated and unimaginable arrangement at the front of the battleship.
Around a two-meter-long hollow metal cylinder, there are circles and circles of overlapping magic circles.
These magic arrays shone with colorful light, and even Milinda could clearly feel the powerful and condensed magic power gathered in the center of the hollow metal cylinder.
She also clearly saw the two one-meter-long crossbow arms and the tightly stretched bowstring.
"Use a ballista to first give the arrows a considerable speed, and then use magic similar to pushing explosions to make the arrows faster?"
Milinda saw the mystery at a glance: "How far can its range reach?"
"Good vision." Hagrid said with a teasing smile, but it was obvious that he was extremely satisfied with being able to do better this time.
"Tell me, what I care about is how far this thing can throw arrows?" Milinda said impatiently.
"For horizontal shooting, the range is about six kilometers, but when the warship flies to its highest altitude, the arrows fired can hit the target more than ten kilometers away." Haguero said with some pride.
"So what about the shooting speed?" Milinda asked again, with a smile on her lips.
"I admit, its speed is indeed a little slower." Haguero said calmly.
"I believe it is still very useful, especially for the kind of tactics you are good at." Milinda said with a smile.
However, before Hagrid showed his proud smile, she immediately added: "But don't forget that you were defeated by the pirate king Rosheim back then. His frequent harassment The tactics used to deal with you are also very useful."
Upon hearing this, Hagriro immediately became serious and silent.
For him, that was the only failure he fully acknowledged, and it was also the last thing he wanted to be mentioned by others.
Just when he was about to find a topic to ridicule His Majesty, suddenly, the mirror plate flashed with bursts of light red light.
"What happened?" Milinda stopped joking this time and asked solemnly.
Hagrid looked at the mirror for a while, and then his expression became extremely solemn.
"There is a pair of eyes that spy on us, hidden in the mountains. Recently, there have been more and more clowns like this. Yesterday we poked a pair of eyes blind. Unexpectedly, today another guy who is not afraid of death will come to our door. Come."
Having said this, he suddenly raised his voice and ordered: "Everyone pay attention, prepare to take off, prepare the ballistae..."
A series of orders came from the mouth of this majestic commander.
After saying all this, Haguero turned his head coldly and asked Milinda: "Are you planning to leave here? If so, there is still time now."
Milinda glanced out the window, and then said disapprovingly: "I plan to see with my own eyes the actual combat capabilities of this battleship."
As soon as he finished speaking, Hagriro shouted loudly to the front: "Hold the armrest and set sail."
Almost immediately, a buzzing roar sounded in the originally calm cabin. The sound made people feel irritated and noisy.
As this noisy buzzing sound sounded, the battleship slowly floated upwards, and the bow slowly turned around, facing a sudden rock in the distance.
With almost no warning, the bow of the battleship suddenly lifted upwards, and then flew away like an arrow off the string.
Almost everyone in the battleship clung to the handrails on both sides of the seats. The huge pressure made them breathless for a moment.
Only Milinda and Hegeiro, these two extremely powerful paladins, were completely indifferent to this. Milinda just leaned against the window, grabbed the window edge with one hand, and stood there steadily.
The slender warship flew away quickly, and at this moment, a white falcon flew above the rock.
Its extremely sharp eyes have obviously also seen that danger is approaching it.
This creature that was born capable of flying in the sky naturally knows how to fly in the sky far better than humans.
I saw it darting back and forth among the mountains with great agility, its white wings almost clinging to the dense tree crown.
"You've met a tough opponent."
Seeing the graceful figure of the white falcon from the mirror, His Majesty said with a sneer.
"After all, this kind of beast cannot be compared with human wisdom." Haguero said, his tone was full of strange coldness and sharpness.
"Prepare to launch the honeycomb." Hagriro ordered loudly.
Following this order, the soldier at the bow of the ship carefully inserted an olive-like arrow into the metal pipe with a thick bulge in the middle of his arm, and the end of the arrow rested on the bowstring.
"You plan to burn the woods below as well?" Milinda said disapprovingly.
"Just think of it as grilled quail." Haguero said calmly.
Following the command, the soldier stepped on the machine and fired the arrow.
I saw a string of magic arrays stacked together, suddenly shining with bright light.
The colorful and dazzling light disappeared in a flash, but everyone in the battleship could clearly feel the faint tremor during the flash of light.
The arrows, like thunder from the six heavens, shot out towards the target.
Suddenly, there was a thunderous roar that made the entire mountain tremble.
As the roar sounded, the arrow turned into sparks all over the sky.
Such fine sparks densely covered an area of about an acre in radius.
There was another roar, but this time, the roar was like countless muffled thunders strung together.
As this strange roar sounded, the sparks all over the sky turned into a bright red cloud. Under the red cloud, the originally lush trees immediately ignited with blazing flames.
The raging sea of fire quickly swallowed up all the surrounding mountains.
Fires shot into the sky and thick smoke billowed.
And the huge and slender battleship that caused all this is currently wandering in the sky.
It seems like a huge eye, scanning and alerting everything below, and it also seems like a ferocious goshawk, looking for prey aggressively.
