"Let your Black Wings retreat." Qianhang said.

"Retreat?" Dire asked, "Why?" ”

"You don't have enough people with you."

"12 Black Wings, theoretically able to fight twice as many Wingmen as they are."

"But not this time. Because the other party not only has the mercenaries of the Fountain of Immortality, the personal guards of Lord Durus, the deputy of the former Imperial Air Force General, and the priest who has a showdown. Their elite squad is no longer under your 12 Black Wings. Qian Hang said, "The reason why the Great Priest has such a high status in the Empire is not because he presides over the festival well. The high priest is not a propaganda officer, and the religion of the empire is not like ordinary religions that only brainwash people. The Celestial Prayer used by the priest is a force that does not belong to humans, and it can allow all the Wingmen present to exert several times their usual combat power. At the end of the Dawn War, the reason why the Qingyun Empire was able to become independent, and the reason why the Winged People were able to defeat several times their own alliance forces, was because of the foul existence of the priest. ”

"Priest? Just that little girl? Dire glanced at him.

Qian Hang pointed to the rapidly changing battle situation, and half of the 12 black-winged people sent out before had been killed in a blink of an eye: "What do you think?" ”

Dire cut unwillingly, got up and said, "I'll go myself." ”

"No way!" Qian Hang stretched out his hand in vain across the screen, "We are also hole cards!" Unless there is a real war, you and I can't be on the battlefield! ”

"Humph......"

"The opponent's hole cards have been turned over. Although we lost a few people in this wave, we didn't lose either! Qian Hang said quickly, "How many of these quality priests do you think there can be in each generation of Wingman?" Even if he inherited the blood of the Great Priest, not every one of his children could have this kind of power—otherwise, the Winged Man would really be invincible in the world. In short, if this woman died, the empire would have suffered heavy losses in wartime. If she doesn't die, she must be one of the most fierce hole cards in the Empire. Knowing oneself and knowing the other side can survive a hundred battles, the link of the priest, we will have to find out sooner or later. ”

"Long-winded......" Dire said again that he couldn't listen, "and if you say that, I have no choice but to retreat?" ”

Qianhang lowered his eyelids: "I'm sorry......"

The Dire then stopped arguing, and pressed the red button on the controller, and the tri-colored flares shot out at different angles, exploding in the sky.

Seeing the signal to retreat, the Blackwings stopped their fighting and flew back to Ghost-7.

Seeing that the black-winged people had retreated, Qian Hang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'll let Alfie deal with the aftermath, you ......"

"I'll go to the fortress and join you when I'm ready." Dire pressed the red button in front of him.

As soon as the screen flickered, the communication ended.

In the distance, the Blackwing, who was fighting Kevin, heard the sound of the flare breaking through the air and pulled away.

The same happened on the side of Charlie and Anthony.

"Retreated ......?" Shadowlord put away his gun and watched as the remaining Blackwingmen began to move towards the helicopter's hatch.

Eliza stopped chanting the prayer and said, "Let me go, sir." ”

Virgil then reacted and glanced over to the battlefield - seeing that the ferocious black-winged people had indeed all withdrawn into the helicopter, he carefully lowered Eliza and let go when she stopped in the air.

The Ghost-7's propellers rotated at high speed, and the hatch slowly closed as the helicopter lifted off. The black wings disappeared from everyone's sight as ghostly as they had come.

The fierce battle is finally over.

The Shadow Owl let out a sigh of relief, feeling that his clothes were soaked with sweat all over his body: "The air battle is really tiring...... But it should be fine after being able to fly. Before he finished speaking, he felt a sudden shock from the floating device behind him.

"Oops!"

The float on board the airliner is designed for civilian escape flights, and its durability and maneuverability are completely beyond the level of military jetpacks. Intense air combat and frequent steering flights had already overwhelmed the fragile device. With a crackling sound of metal cracking in the movement, the engine stalled...... The Shadow Owl fell straight to the ground.

"Shadow Owl!" Eliza screamed and chased after her, but the airspace where she and Virgil were located was too far away from the battle circle, and the distance between the two was getting bigger and bigger.

However, another person caught up with the falling figure before her.

Gu Yang didn't know when he had already lit a cigarette, sandwiched it between his left fingers, stretched out his right hand in the air, and grabbed the back collar of the shadow owl.

The person who was dragged hung in the air very unfiguratively, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Eight people descended all the way until they met the people who greeted them in the airspace about 200 meters above the ground.

It's not so much the people who come to greet you as the empty boats that come to greet you.

The biggest difference between an airship and an airplane is that most airboats have a deck and can hover in the air like a helicopter. The deck of the airship can take off and land wingmen, vehicles, mechs, ...... And the deck of the battleship and the airship can even take off and land aircraft.

The airship that greeted the New Wing Band certainly did not belong to the battleship. The airboat is about 10 meters long, silver-grey throughout, and has a clean deck. Two columns of uniformed wingmen stood straight on the deck. When they saw the person to be greeted, they flapped their wings, took off in good training, and met them. Someone took the shadow owl from Gu Yang's hand, someone took the laser rifle from Man Xing and Kevin's hand, and someone flew vigilantly beside several other members.

A few minutes later, everyone landed on the deck.

The winged man led by the airboat looks like he is 3 or 40 years old. Thin as a bamboo, his eyes were like electricity, and he bowed deeply when he saw Ziyin: "Young Master Ziyin, it's really good that you are safe and sound." ”

The band members had time to take a closer look at the winged men, and saw that they were all dressed in uniform from light blue to some whitish, with a hollowed-out goshawk logo embroidered on their chests.

The height of this group of winged people is almost identical, with a deviation of no more than two centimeters from top to bottom. Their heads are all small flat heads. Dressed up like this, even the original different looks look a little similar.

"I'm almost gone!" The winged man led by Zi Yinjian bowed to him, jumped to his feet without appreciation, and said, "Who told me that the security situation in the kingdom is better than that of the empire!?" We had barely taken two steps out of the border when the planes were shot down from the sky! ”

"This ...... The young master was angry...... "The head of the leader of the winged people lowered a little, "The incident of a military fighter attacking a civilian airliner has indeed not happened in the past 20 years. ”

"Are you saying I'm unlucky? Something I haven't encountered in 20 years has caught me up!? Zi Yin roared, "The plane I was on was shot down by someone else, and you have to blame me!?" ”

"The young master misunderstood, I didn't mean that......" The head of the leader of the winged people pressed even lower, "We set off from the moment we received the president's instructions, and drove here at full speed." You also see that the airboat is going up and it will really take a while to reach the 2000 meters altitude you are talking about......"

"Hmph......" Zi Yin waved her hand, not wanting to continue arguing, "I can only say that you are lucky." Master, if I have three long and two short, see how you go back to explain to my mother! ”

"Young Master Jiren is ...... in the sky"

"Gotta stop talking nonsense. Arrange for me to be my classmates and their attendants and servants. We're going to Belanhill City, and since you've come to pick us up, drop us off. ”

"Of course." Seeing that Zi Yin was no longer pursuing the matter, the leader of the winged people raised his head and said, "The president also instructed that after you come back, you must go to the company first and report your safety." ”

"Yes, yes. She didn't say I'd go too. Zi Yin said as she led her companions to the back of the deck, "Today's events are so strange, I'll have to ask her what the hell is going on." ”

Two hours later, the airboat landed on a high-rise building in the capital of the Kingdom of Blaze, the city of Belanhill.

It is a towering edifice, with a verdant façade that is unusually imposing. Even if it is located in a bustling area with many high-rise buildings, the surrounding buildings are completely unmatched in terms of height and decoration. On the top floor of the building is a huge platform for small and medium-sized airboats, and the ground is painted in white paint with a recognizable landing sign - a large "wind" in a white circle.

When everyone in the New Wing Band saw the word "wind", they had a faint premonition in their hearts.

Everyone stepped off the airship.

Although it was only a 5 or 6-hour journey in the air, after experiencing a battle of life and death, the landing process made the hearts of the young masters and young ladies have a sense of happiness like the aftermath of the catastrophe.

Gu Yang had almost smoked a whole pack of cigarettes along the way, and he still had half a cigarette butt in his hand when he stepped off the airship. Although he was still frowning at this time, he still showed a momentary relaxed look when his feet stepped on the ground.

Walking behind him was Virgil and then Eliza.

Zi Yin was of course at the front of the entire line, so she was the first to see someone walking through the isolation door between the building and the tarmac to greet them.

"By the way, I seem to have forgotten to introduce you to ......" Zi Yin turned around suddenly, almost colliding with Gu Yang who was walking behind him, "Oops, sorry......" He apologized and took a few quick steps back to continue, "This building is—"

"The headquarters of the Windwind Society, right?" Gu Yang was very calm, took the cigarette off his mouth and said, "Paint the entire pattern of the tarmac into the word 'wind', except for the Wind Society, other companies won't do this." ”

"Hmm......" Zi Yin lowered her head slightly, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hide it from you...... My mom is actually the president here......"

"President!?" Virgil almost shouted, "The president of the Windswept Society!?" ”

"Right...... And I'm not an Imperial. Zi Yin scratched his face with one of his index fingers, "I took the Empire's visa to study there." Before leaving, my mother told me not to reveal my identity, so I never said it...... I really didn't mean to hide it from you. ”

"Probably to prevent some media from not doing their jobs." Gu Yang nodded, "It's nothing, there's no need to apologize." ”

At this point, the greeter had already walked over - it was a woman in a suit, light makeup, and black, square-rimmed glasses. He looks like he's in his early 30s, with a briefcase in his hand.

"Young Master." The female wingman in the suit said in a professional tone, "The president arranged for you and your friends to go to the 'Yellow Springs' conference room first. ”

Like most well-known companies, the office building likes to name the main meeting rooms after the star products it has developed. And 'Huangquan' is one of the VIP meeting rooms of the headquarters, whether it is decoration, equipment, or supporting furniture are expensive and good. However, when Zi Yin heard the name 'Yellow Spring', her eyebrows were furrowed and almost twisted: "Yellow Spring!?" That plane almost shut us down! ”

Gu Yang patted him on the shoulder from behind without a trace.

His movements were small, and from other people's perspectives, it was barely noticeable that there was physical contact between him and Ziyin. When team members need to remind each other, Gu Yang often reminds team members to control their emotions or pay attention to certain details in this way. And Zi calmed down almost reflexively because of this, and cleared her throat before continuing: "Ahem...... Forget it, Huangquan is Huangquan. You lead the way. ”

"Yes." The female wingman said respectfully, "Young Master, please go this way." ”

After an air battle, everyone's luggage crashed along with the plane. The band members' neat and gorgeous costumes and well-groomed hairstyles are also tossed and embarrassed. Kevin, Manxing, and Anthony, who were involved in hand-to-hand combat, were not only dirty and torn, but also had enemy blood stains on their bodies—they didn't look like the neatly dressed and serious-looking visitors who usually visit the main building of the Wind.

Such a group of people walked in the special passage used by the senior management of the Wind Society, as well as VIPs, and inevitably attracted a lot of strange glances. Yet none of them cared about that, as if they were no different from their usual appearance.

Take the elevator from the top apron and descend two floors to the VIP meeting area.

The winged woman in the suit led them into the 'Yellow Springs' meeting and left.

This is a large round table meeting room. Holographic projection, computers, video telephony equipment...... All imaginable office supplies are available, and a corner of the conference room is equipped with a dedicated coffee break area, and a variety of drinks and snacks are available.

All four members of the band are students, and they are very unfamiliar with such a conference room environment. Although Ziyin is the son of the president, he has almost never been to this corporate building because he has been studying abroad for a long time; And even if Gu Yang had visited the offices of some record distributors before, he could not compare to the luxury of the VIP conference room at the headquarters of the Windwind Society; Eliza and Virgil, not to mention, must have never seen such a place.

The four of them stood for a moment in the open space behind the round table, no one deciding where to sit.

And seeing that the masters were not seated, it was even more impossible for the retinue and servants to find a place to sit first, so they also stood in the corner.

There were eight people in a huge VIP conference room, and the scene was very embarrassing for a while.

Fortunately, this awkward atmosphere did not last long. Five minutes later, the president of the Blast Society, Irina . Ms. Kleiman pushed the door open and walked over to the main seat at the round table. She was wearing a delicately cut white suit, combing simple and capable short hair that reached her ears, and her whole person looked like an unsheathed sword, full of oppression, and her every move was overwhelmingly powerful.

It may be to disguise his identity, or it may be that he did not change his surname after marriage. Although Irina and Ziyin are blood mother and son, their surnames are not the same.

Behind her, six young maids, dressed in sky-blue overalls and white aprons, walked in two rows to either side of the round table and pulled out four chairs for the bandmates. The six maids are all primitives - in fact, according to the custom of the Kingdom of Blaze, they should be called "humans" here. In a country where the Winged People are equal to humans, they are all legal citizens employed by the Windwind, and their status is not inferior to the Winged People.

It is also in view of this that after preparing the seats for the four Origin Wings, they also arranged seats behind the round table for Kevin, Anthony, Full Star, and Shadowlord, and did not discriminate between them and Primordials.

After everyone was seated, Irina took the lead and said, "Thank you for coming to the company." Today, because of the suddenness of the incident, I really can't arrange it here, and the conference room is also temporarily coordinated. I hope that everyone will not be affected by the environment here, and tell them whatever they want to eat and drink. She gestured to the maids around her.

"Mom......" Zi Yin scratched her head, "You look at the way we don't die now, how can we have the leisure to eat ......"

Before he finished speaking, a maid had already come over with good black tea and snacks.

The tea is fragrant, and the dim sum looks soft and delicious.

Zi Yin had just said the sentence 'How can you have the leisure to eat ......', when she saw what was served, her stomach suddenly screamed, and she swallowed back the words that followed.

Irina looked at him schemingly and smiled: "The special dim sum provided by the Evening Feng Pavilion, even if you don't have any leisure, you can eat a little." At this point, she paused, and a pair of slender white jade hands were folded on the table, "But after eating, you have to nominate someone to come out and tell me in detail, what happened to your plane?" ”
