"Ready to land ——!"

At the top of Fort Clarrum, Isaac, with an excited face, pulled a bullduck voice comparable to a broken trumpet, waving a small and delicate command flag in his hand:

"Everybody, get on to the workbench, now! now! now! now! Otherwise, I'll kick you in the ass!"

"It's going to be an epoch-making feat, a feat that we've all accomplished together! I don't want to see any mistakes, get it?!"

"Again, what we are going to do today is to create our own history—as far back as hundreds of years as the Old Kingdom, as close as the empire of twelve generations,

Not a single wizard, not a single nobleman, not a single knight, not a single human, or dwarf could witness the floating city they had built by themselves soar into the sky, and after two and a half months of non-stop flight, across Byrne and half of the Yunling Kingdom, they successfully landed above the Cloud Peak. ”

"Not one—except us!"

"......Shh It's all but yourself......" The little wizard pouted to himself, looking at Isaac's back with a reluctant face.

She was supposed to be standing there as the conductor - but given the criticality and sensitivity of the central tower, and the coordination of the collaboration between the Silverhelm Dwarves and the alchemists... Ain Rand, who is delicate and the most suitable for this job, can only be relegated to the background.

But even if you are reluctant, you have to admit that this megalomaniac does have some special "charm" that can make everyone stand behind him with confidence and believe in the impossible happens... It will really appear in this world.

"Arrogant, self-righteous, and inexplicably confident, he always asks others to help him clean up the last mess......" his gaze shifted, and his blue eyes stopped at the back of the black-haired wizard next to him:

“...... Both!"

The entire floating city was in chaos - alchemists, dwarven engineers, and wizards in charge of the operation of the towers, all staring nervously at the "madman" standing at the top of the main tower, dancing with their hands.

Only this madman can lead everyone to accomplish the epoch-making feat that can only be achieved in their dreams.

"How is the situation, how much certainty ... Uh......"

Sensing Isaac's burning, almost murderous gaze, the black-haired wizard immediately changed his tune and said, "I mean how sure... Making History?"

"All the key parts are forged by the 'Earthshaker' forging hammer in Crucible Town, according to the requirements of the Dwarven engineers of Silverhelm Mountain, and the rune circuit design is a construction of sixteen layers, plus the wind speed is normal, the climate is dry, and the energy is abundant, so it is theoretically ......"

Isaac raised his head suddenly, and snapped his fingers in front of Loren with a "pop!"

"Theoretically... Well, what if, I mean, if the theory is a little bit off......"

"Oh, that's easy—she'll be headfirst down and turn into a big corn, and all of us will fall straight from two hundred meters in pain. ”

"Well, that's actually quite religious... If it succeeds, it is to perform the miracle of the Holy Cross, and if it fails, we will go to see the Holy Cross together. ”

"......" Loren Turin.

"One-minute countdown begins, report the situation!" Isaac, who was a little hysterical, turned his head sharply and shouted at the top of his voice, ignoring the black-haired wizard beside him.

"The wind speed is normal, the temperature is normal, all environmental parameters are normal, and it has safely reached the sky above the cloud peak without any signs of counterattack. "This is the lookout at the top of the tower.

"Nonsense, I'm standing at the top of the tower right now, don't you think I'll know before you if there's a hurricane or a rainstorm or something? By the way, whose ballista and trebuchet can shoot two hundred meters vertically—because I'm going to put your stupid head in it and throw it out!"

"The boiler preheating is complete, the balancer is normal, the landing gear is normal, the shock mount is normal, everything is working with all the linkages. "This is a dwarven engineer from Silverhelm Mountain.

"Look at the answer of our five-headed brother, this is called professionalism, except that it is all a bunch of nonsense - we are flying smoothly at an altitude of two hundred meters, and if the balancer is finished, wouldn't it have been headed down a long time ago?!"

"The conversion tower is very stable, there are no problems with the rune line, it can safely carry at least three to five times the load, there is no tilt and undesirable phenomena, and it can land steadily. "This is the alchemist in charge of the central tower and the rune circuit.

"First of all, correct your mistake, the upper limit of the safety load is ten to twenty times, and there is no possibility of any undesirable phenomena, because it is perfect, it is me, it was designed by Isaac Grantham - and finally, I hate!"

"Since everything is normal, what the hell is it not to report to you, Your Excellency?!"

"Since everything is normal, what are you waiting for?!"

Isaac, who looked excited, raised the command flag in his hand suddenly: "Five, four, three, two, one!"

"Horn, land and ......"

Before he could finish speaking, Isaac immediately slammed straight at the wall, and the entire Horn Fortress shook violently, falling as if weightless.

That's right, it's the fall, because from the very beginning the design of the entire floating city has been designed with the idea of how to rise, how to hover, how to move...... I just haven't thought about how to land this castle floating in the sky!

Because whether it is moving, hovering or ascending, it can be done by relying on only one operating system, but if you want her to land, you need to rely on another system;

As for how it works, or reducing the thrust of the ascent little by little, it sounds wonderful, and the wizards of the Dragon Kingdom have proven that it is perfectly possible... For the wizards of the Empire today, it is completely unfeasible.

The reason is simple, the technical level is not up to par.

The technology that lags behind the two eras cannot be solved by brain-beating inspiration and "close" cooperation;

At least with the current level of skill of the Empire's wizards and dwarves, it is easy to make the Floating City "float", but it may be difficult to fall safely.

So a megalomaniac who was extremely conceited and refused to give up "patted his head" again and thought of a wonderful attention......

"To put it simply, it is a method of letting it fall freely, and then briefly opening the circuit again and again to make it float again, so that the floating city can get a rising force again at the moment of falling, and it will land one by one until the landing gear can be opened safely......"

"This genius idea, I call it the 'Paragraph Rappel' technique!"

Almost at the same time as he finished speaking, the entire floating city "fell" suddenly, and then shook twice as if he was drunk, like a hyena shaking off the lice on his body.

The first "passengers" on the Horn Fort were blown up by the wind and floated in the air, then slammed into the parapets, floors, and ceilings.

In the midst of the violent ups and downs, the alchemists inside the fortress had to clench their gauntlets to prevent them from rolling down the stairs, while the dwarven engineers who had to manage the mechanical parts outside the walls had to secure their five-headed bodies with chains and ropes so that they wouldn't fly straight out of the castle!

At the moment when Fort Clarion was about to complete its "free fall", a giant six-pointed star magic array suddenly appeared directly below her.

"Boom ————!!!!"

Like an explosion of air, the entire floating city seemed to hit a "soft" and "invisible" wall, and with the wave of air that exploded in all directions, the wall "shattered" in response, and the force of the fall suddenly decreased!

The roar was followed by the violent wails of Fort Clarion—from the towers to the parapets, every corner, every part, even every piece of masonry.

"Everyone—hold on, don't fall!"

Isaac, who gritted his teeth, howled dryly, and hung on the black-haired wizard's right arm and refused to let go, almost using his strength to feed:

"One hundred and fifty meters, falling from this height will really kill people!"

"You still have to say ——!," the little wizard screamed in terror not far away.

Relying on the thrust of short "bursts" again and again, the free-falling floating city can rise again and again... That's right, the "landing device" that Isaac came up with with a pat on his head is such an unreliable thing.

Essentially, it's like burying hundreds of ignition agents and oil directly under Hornfort, detonating every time you fall for a certain distance - not to mention whether you can "slow down" successfully every time, if the force of the thrust reversal alone is not controlled properly, the entire floating city will be directly dismembered in the air!

Such a concise and straightforward, even direct to the point of "excessive" landing device, is the "poor wisdom" that Isaac broke out under the premise of facing a near-hopeless technological gap.

"Boom ————!!!!"

A second explosion followed, and the entire floating city began to tremble, each component letting out a low roar.

The gray-eyed young man lying behind the wall closed his eyes tightly, the guardrail behind him with both hands had completely changed shape, his tense arms were exposed, and cold sweat continued to drip from his forehead.

If you are not careful, you may fly out and become a puddle of minced meat in the mountains, and a pile of bone residue that cannot be seen.

Gravity, air, wind pressure, ...... Only at such a moment can people clearly feel their insignificance and powerlessness in front of the world, and can they feel what terrifying and irresistible divine power the material world that maintains and operates a certain "order"!

Tearing air, exploding waves, brief but piercing screams...... Like a dragon descending from the sky and poking its head out of the clouds, it is roaring majestically.

Shock the world.

"Boom ————!!!!"

A third explosion.

In an instant, the entire cloud peak, the entire sky suddenly fell silent—inside the Horn Fort, everyone could only see the rolling waves of air around them, and the "ice wall" that suddenly appeared outside the floating city and then shattered, and they could no longer hear the slightest sound.

Of course, they can't hear sounds, because all sounds are cut off.

"Finally caught up... Fortunately, there were no mistakes this time. Gasping for breath, the little wizard drenched in cold sweat lay limp on the operating table, muttering to himself weakly.

This low-level spell "Silent as Water", which was originally used to isolate sound, was surprisingly found to have the function of "shock absorption";

At the request of the apprentices, a reluctant former Academy Mentor and Night's Watch spent an afternoon developing a new, more powerful, and more extensive Advanced Spell, Gritty as Ice.

"Put down the landing gear and everyone is ready to ————"

Isaac, who was already so excited that he was almost incoherent, grew his mouth and let the wind pour into his stomach:

"We-"

"It's going to—"

"Falling-falling-clucking............"

The tore and vibrating wind let out a final roar, and the entire floating city fell from the sky like a cannonball, and in the blink of an eye, she had smashed directly above the palace of kings!

Like a shooting star across the sky, elegant and beautiful.

Of course, someone who is targeted by a meteor would never think so.

"Boom ——————!!!!"

The last roar, but not from Fort Clarion itself.

The moment it landed, the palace of kings swept by the wind collapsed from the inside out like a cake with a hammer on its head, and the smoke and rubble rolled up in the shock flew around like waves.

In the middle of the main hall, the "former" Supreme King, who watched his palace being smashed into ruins, stood motionless as if he was stupid.

When the smoke cleared, he was greeted by a traditional Byrne-shaped knight's fortress with a parapet tower and inner fort system.

And Carl Colin, who hid behind the pillars early and was almost buried alive by the rubble, lay in the ruins, looking at the castle "falling from the sky" in front of him in the same stunned.

That's right, she really fell from the sky... Knocked off the top of the head.

"Bang ——!"

With a loud bang, the closed gates of the floating city slowly opened - of course this is not accurate, because for such a floating city, its "gates" are more suitable to be called drawbridges or floating ladders, or at least part of the landing gear.

Compared to such a "grand debut" of the floating city, the figure that walked out of it immediately attracted the only two pairs of eyes in the main hall.

With short black hair and equally dark eyes, a slightly thin figure is a little stronger against the backdrop of armor, the hilt of the great sword "Dawn" is on the right shoulder, and the left hand holds the body of the "Dragon's Tooth" as he walks down the drawbridge step by step.

The dark eyes glanced at Carl Colin lying on the ground, then at the figure in the pool of blood on the opposite side, and finally stopped at the body of the "former" Supreme King.

I see;

So that's what happened... Referring to Farnes and Chakar, this kind of thing was not a surprise from the start.

"So... Good afternoon, Your Majesty the Most High King. Frowning slightly, Loren looked distressed as if he was scrutinizing his opening statement:

"And then... Farewell, Your Majesty the High King. ”
