These people from the Thorn Flower Mercenary Group would never have imagined that the guy they were discussing called Don Naveen was more than thirty kilometers above them at this moment. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"My lord, the navigation point ends here, is that the giant city-state in front?" someone in the airship control cabin asked loudly.

"That's it......" Donner nodded slightly, a hint of complexity in his eyes.

A few minutes earlier, Donner had noticed that the red dot that had been stretching under his feet had disappeared at the end of his vision, and where the red dot had disappeared, a huge outline of the city had appeared on the horizon.

Even if you can't see it completely, you can feel the majesty of the city just by the faint silhouette.

Before leaving, Donner told Cynthia to inform all the dwarves and gnomes living here to evacuate, and if possible, the merchants and mercenaries, but he also knew that not everyone in the city deserved it.

When he made the current plan, he also considered whether to let Grunada gather the dwarven legions, feign an attack on the giant city-state, and let Jesse gather the army to avoid harming the innocent.

But after careful consideration, Downer still chose the current plan.

The maneuverability of the airship and the hot air balloon is too poor, and the battlefield situation is changing rapidly, if Jesse perceives the dynamics of the dwarven legion's assembly and chooses to strike first, when the two legions engage, the air force that has been formed with countless manpower and financial resources will be useless.

In this case, even if the dwarves can win the war, it will be a crushing victory, and the strength of the Far North will be greatly reduced, and Donner may have to struggle in front of the lion Patin and the barbarian Gort, who are heading westward.

You know, this is a life-and-death war, and if the initiative is in Jesse's hands, he will not hesitate to destroy the resistance forces of the Far North and Huls, just like the rebellion in Coenas and the blitzkrieg instigated by Elliot in Pass.

Therefore, Donner is not qualified to be benevolent, he must use all resources and win this war by any means. Therefore, before the world realizes the power of this air force and becomes aware of its precaution, he must use it to win a landslide victory and establish an invincible impression.

To put it bluntly, since you have decided to fight, you should put down your burden and hold the enemy to the death, and be sure to fight until the opponent loses the ability to resist.

In addition to that, Downer has another reason.

For thousands of years of Middle-earth's history, the Knightly Federation has been a lion lying in the north, so powerful that it is almost impossible to defeat. A few years ago, at the Santan Academy of Magic, almost all of the thousands of students lost their courage when they heard that they were going to fight the knight city-state.

If this mentality is not completely reversed, even if Donner is armed to the teeth, they are at best a herd of sheep with weapons, and when the mage army from the Magic Continent descends on the Huls Continent, Donner can directly disarm and surrender.

Therefore, even if he can win with this airship alone, he must take these children with him, let them accumulate courage in this completely asymmetrical battle, and then sow these seeds of courage into the future army.

Donner looked at both sides of the main control cabin, under the belly of the airship several hundred meters long, in addition to this main control cabin, there were also two auxiliary lifting control cabins in the front and rear, and a total of five cabins had a flame array in each of the five cabins to heat the five separated airship airbags.

Now, these flames are blazing, reflecting the childish faces red.

Donner activated the sound transmission array in front of him, and said loudly: "Attention ships, the target city has entered the field of vision, after the end of this call, all ships began to rise, rising to minus 225 altitude, ascent speed eleven, keep the cruising speed unchanged, repeat, rise to minus 225 altitude, ascent speed eleven, keep cruising speed unchanged...... This call is over!"

As Donner's voice ended, the children guarding the flame circle in the five cabins of the airship moved one after another, and the flames suddenly burned even more vigorously, and after a while, the hot air balloon following behind him took the lead in rising upwards, and the airship slowly followed.

......

The Thorn Flower mercenary group continued south along the horse road, and there were very few groups of thieves near the giant city-state, so the group walked leisurely, and after half an hour, they came to an unnamed town next to the horse road.

The silver-haired female leader named Corey gave everyone a task, walked into the town tavern, asked the owner for a glass of spirits, and then sat down in the midst of a group of rough men.

"Yo, isn't this the head of Ke Lei, you also came out of the Giant City?" asked a middle-aged man who was snorting with a smile.

Ke Lei glanced at the man, took the wine glass handed by the boss and took a sip, before saying lightly: "Harold, haven't you found any mercenary group willing to accept you?"

"Don't worry, no matter how bad I am, I won't join those mercenary squads with only a dozen people. Harold's unshaven black face was full of disgruntle, and he deliberately said the words "a dozen people" loudly, and the irony was overflowing.

Ke Lei glanced him up and down, and said with a smile: "When you sell the armor last time, you also sell the steel sword on your waist, let's talk about such backbone." ”

In the midst of laughter, Harold staggered to his feet, and as soon as he drew half of the steel sword that had just been laughed at, he was kicked on the back of his hand by Corey, and the long sword was still sheathed, and the man fell to the ground.

"Who knows what jobs are available nearby?" Ke Lei didn't even look at the drunkard, he picked up the wine glass and took a sip, and said loudly: "The old rule, the news is accurate, and the bounty is one percent!"

Everyone in the tavern shook their heads, no one answered, and Harold, who was kicked to the ground, stood up with a curse in his mouth, but he didn't dare to look at Corey, but walked out of the tavern with his waist bent, and when he was halfway there, he turned over and drank the small half glass of wine that he had not finished, and finally left.

"It's been a few days since a merchant group passed by here, so there's no work to pick up. The tavernkeeper stretched, resting his elbows on the dirty bar, his chin listless.

"Are those merchants crazy? Marcus's old man is too old to be seen!!" someone suddenly shouted.

"That is, the old man must be crazy. ”

The men cursed in a gossipy, and the tavern fell silent again.

Ke Lei suddenly felt that this matter was probably not as simple as she imagined, just a few words from the dwarf Marcus would not make the large and small merchant groups disappear from the vicinity of the Giant City, but she didn't understand what was going on.

A few minutes later, she came out of the tavern, ready to beckon her men to continue south.

"Chief, you see, those big birds are flying higher...... It seems to be heading in the direction of the Giant City. The handsome knight in iron-gray armor pointed to the heavens.

Ke Lei frowned slightly.

Could this strange thing in the sky be related to the "divine punishment" that has been rumored by the giant city-state recently?

"Hell knows. She muttered to herself and beckoned the team to assemble. (To be continued.) )
