However, the impossible soon became a reality.

The big bird lowered his altitude as he circled around the concrete square, and Horn could already see the motorist looking up. The man-made object was larger than a carriage, and he could not comprehend how such a heavy thing could float in the air like a bird.

Probably others had the same thoughts.

When the iron bird roared and swept over the square, many workers even fell to their knees and made a gesture of prayer.

Even if it's a miracle, I'm afraid it's nothing more than that.

"Your sister Andrea is up there," added Hoford Quinn, "and the date of departure mentioned in her letter is yesterday." ”

It took Horn a long time to understand the meaning of the word "yesterday."

The moment he reacted, he felt the cold hairs on his back stand up.

Thousands of miles away, a day away?

"Now, this tipping point no longer exists" - his father's words came back to his ears, and it was only now that he realized how ridiculous his previous thoughts were.

One by one, the artificial iron birds slid to the ground, and when Andrea stepped out of the cockpit, Hoford couldn't wait to meet them.

......

A dust-washing feast for the witches of the Grey Keep was held at the castle palace, and although no nobles were notified, news of the visitors descending from the sky soon spread throughout Glow.

Too many people have noticed this extraordinary scene.

After lunch, Horford finally found a chance to be alone with his daughter.

To his relief, this time the other party was at least willing to call him his father.

"Are you leaving in the afternoon?" said Hoford, a little reluctantly.

"Before the sun sets, we must rush to the Kage Mountain border and join the 1st Army. Andrea nodded, "If it weren't for the fact that this was everyone's first cross-border flight, the Seagull would have arrived in a day - in that case, there wouldn't have been even time for a meal." ”

Crossing two kingdoms in one day! Even though he had already learned about this incredible vehicle from his daughter's past letters, he was still shocked by these words. Although he didn't recognize the changes in Greycastle before, he was actually not much better. Hoford sighed secretly before touching his chin and said, "You guys actually deliberately made such a big fuss, right?"

Andrea finally smiled, "You see that?"

"I always felt that the plane didn't have to hover that long when it landed," Hoford said helplessly, "and I was afraid that the people in the southern city would hear its roar." Of course, it's an excellent reminder to those nobles who have been restless lately. ”

"This is just one of the considerations, and the other is to reassure the people. She shrugged, "I've heard that the Devil Dire has also been found in the Dawn Territory, and if those residents can know that the Grey Keep army also has the ability to fly, the panic won't spread so easily." ”

"Is it really a multiple-killing approach, did that Northland pearl come up with it?"

"No, it's Tilly. ”

At the mention of Wimbledon's princess's name, Hoford noticed a smug look in his daughter's eyes, as if she were proud. Looks like she's made good friends in Neverwinter, Horford thought. He nodded and changed the subject, "By the way, you really didn't want to inherit my place?"

"Why do you say that again?" Andrea raised an eyebrow, "Didn't I say that I wasn't interested in the Dawn Throne?

"He's a good nobleman, and he's got a talent for business, and if it's just an earl's position, I don't think there's a problem. "But the problem is that Horn, like other nobles, is too interested in profit. There are many people in the family who can't understand what I'm doing, and they don't understand that what I'm doing now is to better strengthen the family's position. ”

Since he became the Lord of Dawn, the mentality of the Quinn family has changed more or less, and the adopted son is no exception. In the same way, Horn would never dare to say to himself, "You are not like the Lord of the Dawn, but a courtier of His Majesty Roland Wimbleton." Either someone is encouraging him behind his back, or he already thinks of himself as the next king.

The word "Your Majesty" is indeed intoxicating, but behind the power lies the same risks, and he does not want Horn to follow in Ampein's footsteps.

And there is another thing he didn't say, that is, with Horn's identity, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the other two families.

In fact, the willingness of the Loses and Tokat families to support them is largely due to the willingness of the two heirs to play for Andrea.

"That's something you need to work out," Andrea said undeniably.

"If you don't want to succeed me, then I'll have to break the throne and pass it on to the other two families. Hoford feigned regret.

"Are you willing?"

"What's there to be reluctant to," he said half-jokingly, half-seriously, "I'll save a lot of trouble then." When the war is over, maybe I can move to Neverwinter to accompany you and enjoy my old age in peace. ”

If Roland Wimbledon could win the Battle of the Divine Will, would he keep the Four Kingdoms alive? The Quinn family was able to get to this point only because of the chance of the war, if it was Andrea on the throne, Roland might not have made a move, but it would be difficult to say if it was someone else.

As he said before, the "distance" used to maintain the balance has been broken.

Andrea stared at him for a long time, but finally did not respond, but Hoford could feel that his daughter's eyes had softened a little more than before. It was a long time before she spoke, "It's time, it's time for me to go." ”

"Remember to take care of yourself. Hoford resisted the urge to reach out and touch his daughter's head, "I'll go to the front to see you when I have time." ”

“...... So are you. Andrea turned and left the study.

Horford took a deep breath, leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes.

He has not forgotten the decision he made a year ago.

To make up for his past mistakes, he is willing to spend the rest of his life.

......

Four hours later, the flight team landed safely in Thorn Town under Cage Mountain.

In less than two days, four cities were transferred, spanning more than 1,000 kilometers – this unprecedented frontline support operation is destined to go down in history.

Iron Axe, Brian, Edith and the others were already waiting for everyone to arrive at the landing field. After a brief handover, the witches were invited into the battle headquarters at the top of the mountain. It can be seen from the solemn looks of the staff members that the current situation of the First Army is indeed not optimistic.

Iron Axe spread out a large map on the long table and nodded to everyone, "Next, let me explain the current battle situation to you." ”
