Chapter 64: The Clover
After Luke knew why the gang was actively enrolled in the night school in the hot sun, he could only let them think so. Anyway, when the class starts, these convulsive guys know what they're learning.
If someone can really learn the killing technique in the pastry class, it can be regarded as training a martial arts master.
The Potions Production Factory and the Yanyang Night School were in charge of the affairs, and the preparations were very smooth.
Luke personally stared at the armed airship Shamrock.
There are indications that the gold-transporting airship is very likely to leave Angry Waves City early.
The heist plan was also adjusted as the information was constantly obtained.
The Haijiao District Intelligence Bureau issued a pirate warning to inform all ships anchored in the harbor of Haijiao District that a suspected pirate ship had been spotted in the sea off the coast of Angry Waves. The Haijiao District Secret Intelligence Bureau will organize an armed fleet to go to the sea area where the pirates were found to confirm, and ask the captains to be cautious when going to sea in the near future.
Some of the ships that entered the port also proved that they had indeed been chased by pirates.
Most of the ships that do not have urgent departure needs choose to stop at the Haijiao Port Pier to wait and see.
When the Haijiao District Sheriff's Office was tossed by the clear sky and had no time to manage maritime affairs, the Haijiao District Secret Intelligence Bureau organized an armed fleet to go to sea and asked the Angry Waves Navy to send warships to assist.
The Meteorite Inspector of the Cape Secret Intelligence Bureau personally commanded the fleet to exterminate the pirates.
The people of Haijiao District praised it...... Inspector Meteorite has just taken office, and he is running a night school and suppressing pirates, he is really a good official who does practical things for the people!
Unlike those sheriffs in the Sheriff's Office, who only know how to lick the butts of the rich and powerful.
The request from the Haijiao District Intelligence Bureau for a joint patrol to hunt down pirates was responded to by the Angry Waves Naval Fleet, which was joined by two naval steam engine wheels and sail warships with 40 guns.
A day later.
On the top platform of the City Administration Hall building in the central part of the city, an armed airship hovered steadily under the pull of the rope.
A group of crew members are carrying cargo into the pod.
Several well-dressed people of the upper class gathered together and waited for the airship to take off.
Councillor Virgil and another member of the City Council, speaking alone in the other direction under the protection of the sheriff.
"Councillor Ibur...... Elven Sky has appeared in the evenings for the past few days, and we can't figure out her intentions, so we let you leave early with this batch of gold.
The Imperial Taxes are in the airship vault, and the goods are in the bottom mezzanine. I've checked it myself, there's no problem with the number, and I'll leave the rest to you. ”
Councillor Ibur was a slightly chubby, middle-aged man with a large beard, monocles stuck in his left eye socket, and a high-crowned gentleman's hat with a hard brim.
He looked at the huge airship in front of him and said to Fergill, "Although it was a little hasty, there was no way. The Blade-wielding Brotherhood's stabbing blades are almost here, as well as the Abyss Mages and those dangerous who have different purposes because of the Book of Calamity.
This is a complicated situation that we have never encountered since we took over the city of Angry Waves, and we must ensure the safety of gold first.
There should be no problem with the protection of the Clover, right? ”
Congressman Virgil said, "It's all arranged. I have selected four magicians to accompany the boat, all of whom are strong enough to be professors of magic at Oulu Academy.
There are also ten gargoyles made by the City Alchemist Guild, which are mounted on the top layer of the airbag and will automatically attack dangerous objects that come close.
The crew has good combat effectiveness, and there are ten ballistas, which is enough to deal with most emergencies. And it's a voyage within the Empire, and you'll have a short and comfortable journey aboard the Shamrock. ”
Councilor Ibur nodded, having ridden the Clover to and from the Imperial Capital several times. A one-and-a-half-day flight is much safer and easier than the previous overland journey.
It was only the amount of gold transported this time that was much more "more" than before, so he cautiously asked a few more words.
At this time, the crew had already loaded all the bits and pieces into the pod, and the passengers were entering the cabin in turn.
"It's time to take off! As a gentleman, I can't let the ladies wait for me. Good bye...... Councillor Virgil, I hope I will hear good news from you when I return from the Imperial Capital.
That elf is so good at tossing these days that I haven't slept well for several nights, and your spirit is even worse. ”
Councillor Ibur straightened his hat and headed for the airship pod.
Virgil was delivered to the hatch and finally shook hands with Ebur and said goodbye.
"Goodbye, Councillor Ibur, please pay your respects and greetings to that big man on my behalf."
"I will."
The crew closes the hatch.
The ground crew loosened the ropes that bound the airship, and the airbags of the airship were pressurized, and a large amount of white steam was sprayed from all over the airship.
The buoyancy reached a threshold, and the Clover armed-airship gradually rose. The pneumatic propeller at the tail of the airbag activated, pushing the airship away from the roof of the government hall building and towards the sea not far away.
At this time, in the preset ambush area, a hot air balloon was floating at an altitude of 3,000 meters.
In the hot air balloon gondola, Luke's Elven Sky is holding a telescope to observe the airspace in the direction of Angry Waves.
Luke swapped out the outfit he had bought for her and put on a black leather bodysuit. If it is necessary to go into the water, this suit is more suitable for activities in the sea, and this operation must not reveal the identity of the clear sky.
For this purpose, Luke also prepared a hood to cover the appearance of the clear sky.
The weapon, Xingchen Zhan, is stored in a space backpack, and a relatively common Western-style saber hangs from his waist.
According to the exact information gathered by the secret agents, the gold was shipped out of the city today. Last night, Luke controlled the clear sky and squatted around the government hall building, and saw the Clover armed airship docked on the roof of the government hall building last night.
So today it will definitely be prescribed.
Luke searched the sea with a telescope, and the fleet reached the predetermined area. The two "eyewitnesses" were searching for pirates in the middle of four armed merchant ships.
The prepared pirate ship also saw it.
According to the plan, all personnel were in place, just waiting for the Clover armed airship to appear.
After locating the deployed fleet, Luke continued to search the airspace in the direction of Raging Waves with his binoculars.
She didn't have to wait too long, and on the blue sea background, a white trail was discovered by her.
That's the water vapor emitted by a steam airship.
Adjusting the focal length of the telescope, Luke found the armed airship Clover at the end of the white trail.
Steam power allows it to fly far faster than other types of airships, and it is difficult to catch up with it in the air if it is not calculated in advance.
Right now...... Let's get started.
Luke tossed the telescope aside, then jumped to the edge of the basket and looked in the distance to determine the direction of the Shamrock.
Put on your head covering and take another step forward.
An oval ice plate was created at her feet, and Luke glided towards the Clover as if he were surfing the sea.
