The Lion King of Middenland, Warhammer

Chapter 244 The Sudden Hurricane

"Of course, this is not to say that my old airship has no value, because she can carry ten people and stay in the air for more than ten hours easily. It is the best eye when the army is in formation and camping. Rare, and can't fly at night. Clockwork steam helicopters can only last ten minutes, and are more fragile than our airship. Our airship is a nut in the war machine, it can provide security for troops , can guide the shooting for the artillery, and can also make the heavenly mages --- or nebula warlocks -- better exert their magical powers in the air. This is the role of nuts. In fact, although the illusion of a weapon can change the situation No more than a joke, but every weapon has its own value."

Captain Fatak exhaled two more smoke rings, and ended his narrative in a calm tone.On this airship 150 meters in the air, the one-armed captain has a unique bearing.

"My lord captain, you are a real man!"

Hyde laughed, and he took the red-bearded dwarf's hand.Not long ago, when he saw the imperial army release this [-]-foot-long flying giant for the first time when they were camping, he was surprised, and immediately thought of why he didn't throw many of these things at the Chaos army. The problem of dismounting.At that time, Old Loren gave him a general explanation, but it was not as detailed as the dwarf captain said.Hyde likes sincere and down-to-earth people, which may be because of his own personality.

In fact, the sparrow-class reconnaissance airship of the empire is indeed a product of auxiliary type. It is seventy feet long, made of specially treated cloth, has a raised tail fin, and is fully supported by heat, like a boat. Fat white fish in general.Below it is a light vine-made boat, only fifteen feet long, and a miniature magic crystal steam engine drives six fin-like wind paddles to make it move forward.In addition to the fixed crew of four, it can carry six people--and they can't be too big or wear heavy armor.

So, apart from Baska, only Hyde, old Loren, and two girls came to the airship now. Baska's original plan was completely bankrupt. Even Andrew, Catherine, Marshall, Tenan and others all invited them, but now they didn't even bring their girlfriend Lucy.But there's no way around that, because old Loren and his giant sword weigh two people, and he and the giant sword are inseparable.

"But this is better! The people who come up for sightseeing are the most necessary people! This will further deepen my friendship with His Royal Highness Hyde!"

Baska shook his head, secretly telling himself this in his heart, and at the same time, he planned to explain this to Lucy when he went back.Since the Battle of the Prairie, this ambitious dwarf blacksmith has been trying his best to get close to Hyde in order to engage in his "recovery cause".

However, except Baskar himself, no one seems to take his "recovery of the country" seriously, because everyone knows that Baska is just a mercenary and blacksmith from the mountain village on the border between the Royal Court of Rick and Bretonnia.Although it is said that a prosperous dwarven kingdom existed there 3000 years ago, the story that is older than the empire's history is just a legend.Now, there are only endless mountains and forests, with beastmen and goblin tribes haunting them, and the rest are only some broken stones, some with ancient but vague dwarven runes. [

But Hyde didn't hate Baskar, he insisted on addressing Baskar as His Highness with a half-joking idea, and even signed the covenant that seemed to be a joke.On the one hand, it’s because Hyde doesn’t discriminate by identity, and on the other hand, it’s because Hyde is grateful for his contribution to helping save his sister Catherine. People always have dreams, and Hyde doesn’t want to hurt other people’s dreams.

"It's getting late, Your Highness Hyde, I think we should go down. We can't delay the business of guarding the airship."

The time on the airship passed quickly, and it was hard to stop Fatak’s chatterbox once it was opened. This one-armed dwarf captain had a lot of experiences, and the stories of fighting green skins, chaotic dwarves, and dark elves made him Hyde listened a little fascinated.About an hour later, Fleur made a timely reminder, and the delicate girl took Hyde's hand.

"Yes, my lord, it is time for us to return to land."

Old Loren also added in a timely manner, every movement of the burly red armored knight swayed the small airship.He had been almost inseparable from Hyde since the approach to the front, and he was always on the alert.

"En! Then we won't bother, thank you for your hospitality! Hurry up and let the airship land."

Hyde smiled and waved to the red-bearded captain. He understood that this short time as a guest could be over.Because after nine o'clock, the twelve warning airships around the army camp will not be able to land, and they will be kept in the air by cables at an altitude of 150 meters to 200 meters all night, providing the necessary warning for the night sky of the army camp .If you don't want to spend the night on the rattan floor of the airship, now is the last chance.

But in a certain sense, Fleur's reminder is unnecessary, because the landing and landing of the airship is determined by the cable operator on the ground.They will send out a signal before nine o'clock to remind the airship to turn off the hot gas furnace, and then pull the airship down with an ox cart winch, refuel the hot gas airship, provide food, and let the crew change shifts for the night.A few minutes ago, the flashing signal on the ground had been sent out, and the cable moved twice. It should be time to land.

But a sudden inexplicable chill gripped Hyde's heart, making him suddenly feel uneasy.In an instant, he felt as if something huge was approaching the small airship, and he subconsciously held the sword in his hand.At this moment, he saw that old Loren's brows were also frowned suddenly, and he seemed to feel something.

"There is a situation! Let the airship land!"

Jessica jumped up violently, taking a fighting stance, and even her voice was ahead of Hyde. The wolf-eared girl felt the danger almost at the same time as Hyde, and her ears pricked up like lightning.

But it was too late, because the violent wind and black mist suddenly rolled across the vast sky, the small airship shook wildly like a feather, almost throwing all the crew members out of its rattan side .Many messy things flew out like lightning and disappeared into the dark night sky.

"Gas furnace down, capstan up! Quick!"

The red-bearded dwarf captain frantically grabbed the brass microphone. This microphone was connected to the cable with a copper wire and inlaid with a blue amplifying magic stone. It was a quick tool for the airship to communicate with the ground when it was tethered.This kind of sudden hurricane is rare, but it is absolutely illegal to deal with it. After all, the airship is only more than 100 meters away from the ground, and the airship can be quickly landed with a winch.
