Quit the team, then picked up a beautiful girl with problems

"Criminal? Are you talking about me? What did I do wrong?" Zoe was a little dazed.

Li Ang turned to look at her. For the girl, she had just been repeating a monotonous life day after day, and had just found her goal and was imagining the future.

She had never been involved in disputes full of interests and dangers, and she could not understand why the suddenly arriving ferocious imperial army was targeting her.

"That's just their hypocritical rhetoric. Wear your helmet properly," Leon said, helping the girl put it on properly. "Don't let them see your face."

"Stop, final warning!" the big ship continued to shout.

"You two, be careful!"

In front of Eden, two bow guns wrapped in wriggling purple flesh and blood tissue fired at the same time, instantly pulling out a black electric net, directly blocking the giant wolf's way.

Most of the lightning was blocked by the ice shield created. The giant wolf pressed down the cloud head and spun sharply.

The overly intense maneuver made Zuo scream a few times, while Leon grasped the giant wolf's fur tightly while sensing the details of the lightning.

What a strange spirit, different from all the matter and energy he had seen before. It exuded a strong breath of death, but it was also different from the Worm King that Leon had faced not long ago. The latter was full of decay and was not as pure as this black lightning.

But judging from the power alone, the magic of this lightning is only at the extraordinary level, and it must have caused damage to Eden on other levels.

Zoe now also has the power of the star soul, and she cannot be hit by this lightning.

Eden dodged several lightning bolts in succession, but the last few black lightning bolts were at a tricky angle and just brushed against its back. In order to prevent the lightning from hurting Zoe and Leon on its back, the giant wolf could only adjust the angle and withstand the attack with its body.

"Woo——"

The giant wolf's howl made the girl bite her lip. She lay on the giant wolf's back and channeled her strength to heal it.

The two ships behind also caught up when Eden turned to avoid it, forming a blockade.

If the four ships opened fire again at this moment, it would not be able to dodge.

Leon saw a nearby archipelago out of the corner of his eye.

He knew this place, a series of small islands connected by fallen giant trees and ancient vines, called the Aomori Islands.

It turns out that the one chasing and the one fleeing have already flown into this airspace.

Li Ang took a deep breath, and he had some understanding in his heart.

The outline of the initial plot of "Newbis Fantasy" became clearer in his mind.

The Aomori Islands, also known as the Novice Trial Ground, hide numerous low-level monsters within its complex terrain and jungles. The strongest monster on the entire island is no more than level 5.

Due to the rich monster population, many novice adventurers will choose this place as their target. While honing their professional skills among monsters, they also obtain monster materials to sell for money and to create equipment.

If Leon had not intervened, Zoe's original fate would have been to meet Eden and be hunted by the Sporil Empire. Although the giant wolf was powerful, for unknown reasons, the empire had mastered the strange black lightning. It could not avoid the blockade of the sky and was struck by lightning. Injured, it could only take Zoe to escape to Aomori Island.

It was there that it taught Zoe how to control the power of the star soul, and the girl became stronger in the process of fighting monsters.

As a game, this is indeed a suitable arrangement, because playing is a major project, and players cannot miss the process of fighting monsters when going through the plot.

But Li Ang didn't intend to let this happen.

He needed to form a qualified team as soon as possible, but he didn't have time to waste on the Aomori Islands. There were low-level monsters everywhere, and Zoe didn't have to go there to practice.

At the same time, the strange power held by the empire gave him a greater sense of urgency. No matter what Zoe's fate was, he didn't want her to encounter any hardship. He hoped that she would become stronger as soon as possible and be prepared to face it.

Li Ang summoned a strong wind and said, "I'll stop those ships."

44. An auxiliary

"What are you going to do?" The giant wolf immediately planned to cooperate with Leon.

"No need for help, just dodge the lightning and don't let Zoe get hurt."

"Leon!" Zoe said hurriedly: "Didn't you say not to think about sacrifice? Why do you want to—"

Li Ang smiled softly at her, "Like you said before, this isn't a sacrifice. Suppressing the Star Soul is something you can do as you please, but fighting against people, especially these local armies that rely on scale to win, is what I'm good at.

"Besides, I am your leader, and protecting the members is the leader's responsibility."

At this high altitude, with strong winds blowing, the element of wind is the most abundant.

Li Ang took the spirit core ball and put on a shaman's wind element shield for himself.

The airflow of the Level 4 Wind Shield was so strong that it seemed to be substantial, wrapping around his body and allowing him to rise up into the air with ease. Normally, he couldn't fly very far with this method, but it was enough here.

The wind carried his body off the giant wolf's back. Under the girl's worried gaze, Leon rose into the air, adjusted the airflow around him, and sent himself to the deck of one of the large ships.

As soon as he landed, the soldiers who saw him flying onto the ship alone were stunned for two seconds before they pointed their magic guns at him.

In the distance, on the command platform on the deck, the commander of this ship stood beside the magic loudspeaker, stunned for a moment, and shouted into the loudspeaker: "Who are you! Do you want to surrender? Where is the child next to you? Bring him up! Otherwise, don't blame me-"

"I'm curious, how did you get such a big ship?"

Leon was admiring the magic battleship. It was the first time for him to board such a large magic flying ship. Although the ships of the Tiantuan were larger than this one, the equipment was completely different. The latter were more like sailboats, and this one even had a sense of science fiction in many places. In various magic ducts, the magic power drawn by the molten core stone flowed through them, making the pipes emit a purple-red light.

Just because a force is called the "Holy Empire" doesn't mean it's necessarily powerful. There are many countries with extremely exaggerated names on many isolated islands in the airspace.

"Of course it's for the glory of the empire!" The commander put his hands on his hips.

He is a member of the Hawen tribe, commonly known as the "Bean Tribe". He is only three to four heads taller than a human. At this moment, he is standing on a padded cargo box, and the action of sticking out his chest is a bit funny.

"The empire will rise again, and the emperor's glory will illuminate every inch of the sky!"

Can you speak human language?

"Which island is the capital of your Sporir Empire?"

"Remember to add the title 'holy'!" the commander shouted. "The capital of the empire is the Chalk Fortress! The greatest fortress of Nubis! You ignorant man!"

The Cretaceous Fortress, so this is it. Leon had some impression of this island.

It is a typical island that does not cooperate with the Sky Knight Guild, and it is also located among a large group of prosperous islands, including the Island of Makena, the Giant Garden, the Craft Island Vitum, etc., which all belong to the Ignis Airspace.

As an air knight, he often travels back and forth between those places, but Leon has never been to the Cretaceous Fort in the middle. It's embarrassing to say that it's a deserted place.

Seen from the air, it is a towering white wall and tower built on the dangerous island terrain. A few hundred years ago, the airships and naval guns of the time might not have been able to shake those walls, and with the average strength of the Newbis people at the time, it would have been difficult to conquer the walls.

Long ago, the Ignis airspace was engulfed in war, and this fortress island might have been built during that time. However, after peace arrived, especially in the three hundred years after the founding of the guild, there were almost no wars in the airspace, let alone large-scale wars. Naturally, islands like the Cretaceous Fortress lost their status.

Sometimes when I flew over nearby and looked at the chalk fortress, I had discussions with my companions about things like "Are there still living people there?" and "Is that an ancient relic?"

"I see. But what does your 'rise' have to do with arresting people?"

"The Emperor has said that any enemy that stands in the way of the Empire's rise must be eliminated! We need not question it, but only carry out his will."

"What is the emperor's name? Did he acquire some ancient technology that is responsible for your rise to power?"

Commander Douding spoke with increasing excitement: "A lunatic like you has no right to know the Emperor's name! The Emperor is a mountain, and those who do not bow before his divine glory are waves, destined to crash upon the cliffs even if they roll in!"

"Okay, I don't want to hear this, and I'm not here to pay homage."

It seemed that the people of this empire could no longer communicate. In addition to investigating the meter, Leon also decided to find out where this emperor had come from.

Perhaps because they thought he had surrendered on board, the commander did not allow the battleship's bow gun to fire immediately after it had completed charging.

But they still blocked Eden's flight path. The giant wolf carried Zoe on its back and formed a circle of floating ice shield around it, which temporarily formed multi-angle protection like a cocoon. Even if they fired, they could not hurt them for a while.

Leon flipped the switches on the spirit cores one by one: "I'm here to arrest you. If you have anything to say, go talk to the Order Sky Knight of the guild."

"Are you alone? Huh—"

Commander Douding's laughter just started to stop. It was not because he was knocked down, but because the loudspeaker in front of him had stopped working and his shouts were not amplified.

The soldiers' magic guns also failed. They saw Leon waving his hands and knew he had cast a spell, but when they pulled the trigger, the gun body overheated rapidly and no energy bullet was fired.

They quickly dropped their weapons, but found that their armor was jumping uncontrollably. They were like puppets, dancing a strange dance on the deck. In the process, almost all the joints of their hands and feet were dislocated, and they screamed in pain.

The gun turrets on the deck rotated automatically, and even the guns in the hull could not be controlled. The helmsman was bounced away by the high-speed rotating wheel, and the flames from the power reactor adjusted their direction. The entire airship turned sideways in the air, aiming the maximum firepower on one side at another reinforcement ship not far away.

With the help of the temporary energy source, Leon activated his ultimate move - All Spirits in Turmoil, while allowing the magic power to cover a wider range.

"Finally, I've reached the area where I'm good at."

All the guns on the ship opened fire at once. The other nearby ship did not react at all. The deck was completely covered by the pouring energy bombs, and the soldiers were shrouded in the explosion of purple-red light.

The attacked airship immediately lost most of its combat effectiveness. The gun controller in the cabin was stunned by the sudden friendly attack at first, but later wanted to aim it at the ship controlled by Leon. However, before that, the energy bomb of the gun controlled by Leon had exploded from the muzzle and killed them all.

The two smaller ships at the back wanted to adjust their angles to fire at the large ship controlled by Leon.

After Leon crossed the ship and attacked, the angle was facing them directly. He controlled the stern power reactor to the maximum, and the warship approached rapidly. The ramming horn of the bow directly hit the deck of a small ship. Amid the loud collision and the sound of metal tearing, countless people were killed and injured.

Leon walked towards the place where the two ships were connected. The control range of Wanling Turmoil extended to that ship. The soldiers who wanted to rush up suddenly started dancing, and part of the weapons of the small boat and the weapons of the big ship were aimed at the fourth ship at the same time.

This time, the fourth ship actually started firing. As long as the energy bombs of all sizes entered the area where all spirits were in turmoil, they all activated their explosive spirituality in advance and exploded in advance.

Li Ang also chose to fight back, and soon the fourth ship was silenced under the baptism of artillery fire.

The artillery fire stopped, and smoke continued to drift in the warm breeze of the night sky over Flores.

"You! Who are you?! Is this something a human can do?!"

Commander Douding crawled out from a pile of soldiers with dislocated limbs. He was still able to move because he was not wearing any equipment, but his heart was close to collapse. He even forgot to praise the emperor's glory.

"The Sky Knight you blocked my way with used to be a support for the Celestial Group."

"T-Tiantuan...isn't this a rare person? How could it be such a coincidence..."

The commander of the Bean Tribe fell facedown on the deck.

45. Hall of Order (Seeking follow-up reading)

After calming the commotion among all spirits, Leon breathed a sigh of relief. Thanks to the temporary energy source, the amount of magic power he needed to activate his ultimate move was less than half of what it was before, so he didn't have to exert much effort this time.

After rising higher and higher in the Soul Apex ranking, he hadn't fought against the army of such ordinary forces for a long time. It was a rare opportunity to defeat the weak ones, and he felt that the victory was a little too easy.

This group of imperial troops mainly relied on the damage done to the Star Soul by that strange bow gun, otherwise they would not have been able to survive Eden's attack.

Grabbing the megaphone, he shouted to the remaining Imperial soldiers, "You are all captured now. Drop your weapons."

The soldiers were dejected. The medical staff in the cabin came out to reconnect their dislocated limbs. Some were carried on stretchers, and very few could move normally.

It took some effort to bring the four ships together. Afterwards, Leon's big ship turned back and captured the people on the ship that had previously lost power.

All the soldiers were gathered on a ship, its weapons and the spirit core in the power reactor were taken away, and it was towed forward by Leon's big ship, which was filled with intact equipment and magic guns seized from other ships.

Only the little commander was left on the big ship. Leon tied him up in the cabin and walked to the bow.

After removing the surrounding ice wall, Eden flew near the ship and Zoe jumped directly onto the deck.

"Wow, Leon, you're so... I mean, how did you do that? It's actually possible..."

Zoe was like a kitten who didn't know what to do with too many toys. She was so excited that she couldn't organize her words smoothly, so she used actions and gave Leon a tight hug, as if this was the only way to vent her happiness.

She had never seen an airship before, let alone this sci-fi magical airship. She ran around the ship several times in her little leather boots, wanting to touch everything she saw. She even jumped onto the magic turrets to tinker with them, and screamed as she pulled the trigger to fire the shells.

The boat towing behind was quite far away, and many soldiers were lying in the cabin. Zoe was wearing a helmet and equipment, so her appearance and gender could not be seen, so Leon let her go crazy.

She returned, looking very energetic, holding a magic gun, and asked, "Is this ship ours from now on? I think those cannons on the side are very powerful. Next time I encounter a monster like a wyvern, I want to use these to attack it!"

"No, this ship only looks strong. Our future ships must be more powerful than this one."

"Wow!" The girl was expectant, but also seemed a little regretful that she couldn't use the magic cannon to shoot the wyvern.

Li Ang smiled and said, "You want to use the turret to attack the flying monsters? There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. Wyverns often attack the airship's route in groups."

"That's great!"

Zoe chuckled and gestured with her fists and feet: "If they dare to throw me onto the bloody ground, I'll teach them a lesson when I see them next time."

The girl asked again: "When will we get a boat?"

"No rush. Once I register the team, I'll go to the Rudder Island to take a look. But to finish building the boat, I might need to earn some more money."

"money?"

The girl fell into thought.

She had also spent time outside of Sartus Island when she was a child and had read her mother's messy books. She knew about money and goods transactions, but had no idea about purchasing power.

"Can't I replace those beautiful stones in Xiao An's body? They're so beautiful, I can't bear to part with them."

"It might not be enough to change to the most ideal ship."

"Money..." Zoe thought for a moment, then asked softly, "Where in the world is the most money?"

"bank."

The girl nodded and said nothing more, as if she was lost in her own thoughts.

"There's something I need to say."

Leon said to Zoe and Eden, who was flying near the bow, "Let's take a short detour."

"Huh? Why?"
