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

The larger the mother stone, the farther the receiver can receive information. The longest communication distance can be about five or six thousand kilometers, spanning the range of an airspace.

However, the sound can only be transmitted between a set of voice stones, and it does not have the ability to dial a number like a telephone.

"What does the Order Air Cavalry Headquarters think?"

"They said that the Empire's other actions are questionable, but the forced blockade of the waterway cannot be allowed and must be cleared as soon as possible."

The Order Air Cavalry Headquarters probably didn't know yet that the Imperial Army would massacre civilians and indiscriminately attack neutral passenger routes.

"So you're just going to sit here and watch?"

"Because of the Empire's trouble, the entire regiment was mobilized, and no one came to help me."

"Without reinforcements, you can't defeat the enemy on your own?"

"That's not... well, see for yourself."

Lancelot pointed at the imperial forces, the leader of which had high spiritual power and was accompanied by a griffin summoned beast. There was a faint rhythm of magic around the equipment on his body, indicating the powerful spirituality it contained.

"I understand. You can't beat him."

"The truth can sometimes be sharper than the ice of the Glacial skies."

Lancelot smiled bitterly and said, "I'm just a salaried worker. My equipment is provided by the guild. I'm not like you guys who go around looting everywhere. Uh, no, we're collecting goodies from ancient civilizations everywhere."

Li Ang nodded, what he said made sense.

Unlike ordinary air cavalry regiments, members of the Order Air Cavalry Regiment have all undergone military formation training and are equipped with standard equipment specially made by the guild.

Since it is a standard, even the elites can hardly afford the top-level equipment of the Excellence Realm. Usually, they use the highest-level equipment of the Extraordinary Realm, which is level 6. The summoned beasts are also pterosaurs specially tamed by the guild. These are very high-level monsters that can be tamed in batches.

This is enough to mediate disputes in most areas. If there is a strong enemy, it will be the more powerful leader or deputy leader who will deal with it.

For example, the young lady of the group leader inherited a secret special profession. She can easily control a bunch of weapons to form floating formations, which is a bit like an oriental sword fairy.

Lancelot's panel fully demonstrates the achievements of his personal professional hard work, but his equipment does not look particularly gorgeous compared to other members of the group.

Today he was only patrolling with four non-elite members of the Order Air Cavalry, but the people on the opposite side were actually equipped with better equipment than him.

The guy on the Empire side has a higher level of hardware.

[Combat Power Increase: 7%]

Upon reaching Rank 7, equipment undergoes a qualitative transformation. Spirits at the Transcendent Realm can use magic to temporarily create matter and energy that doesn't exist in the world itself. The strength of this material surpasses that of existing matter, and the material energy created by the Transcendent Realm takes a long time to break.

Therefore, even if Lancelot's personal skills surpassed his opponent's, he judged that he could not defeat the opponent.

Level 7 equipment is the main equipment of the front-line team. It is with them that the team can stand proudly in the sky.

If you want to create equipment of this level, you need the world's top craftsmen and the most precious materials. The output is not large, and most of it comes from ancient ruins.

Therefore, the system can assist in equipment manufacturing, and there is a trend that as long as enough materials are collected, equipment higher than level 7 can be easily manufactured. Li Ang thinks it is particularly powerful.

"Look, that guy's whole body is very consistent, all wind attributes, even his summoned beast is also wind attribute, he must be difficult to deal with." Lancelot said.

He couldn't see the panel, and before the actual fight, he didn't know that because his opponent's professional skills had not reached the level of excellence, his opponent's divine equipment had hindered the effect, resulting in only a 7% increase in combat power.

Leon patted Lancelot on the shoulder and said, "I'll strengthen you, you go ahead."

Lancelot looked at him in silence for a few seconds, with an expression on his face that said "Are you trying to trick me?" However, the man in front of him was a powerful assistant, so it was reasonable for him to say such a thing, and he couldn't think of anything wrong with it.

Li Ang continued, "He's followed by ordinary soldiers. Let's capture him and send him to the Order Hall with the soldiers."

"If you talk like that, I'll think you want to join the Order Air Cavalry."

Lancelot said: "You and I will work together to repel him, first clear the waterway, then we will meet up with the Flame Group, and then discuss our opinions on the empire with the headquarters. This is feasible.

"But if the Empire is to be punished, it will be for blocking the waterway. Imperial officials are responsible, and the executors may be punished. The extent of the punishment is also debatable. It shouldn't be to the point of requiring arrest. Do you... have a grudge against them?"

"Tsk, the cop's intuition is really sharp."

"Hey!"

Leon's expression gradually turned serious after he finished joking. "I'm sure there's no problem arresting him this time. Aerial Knights registered with the Guild cannot accept commissions that violate Guild laws, no matter how legitimate the other party's purpose may be."

"correct."

"A member of the top four air cavalry regiments came to participate in this empire's conquest, affecting the normal navigation between airspaces. What kind of behavior is this?"

"I understand." Lancelot's expression became serious.

48. The Promise to Become Stronger

Blocking the waterway is a serious violation of the law.

Airways are crucial. When Leon first arrived at Newbis, he was puzzled. The sky should be unobstructed, so why do airways exist? And what are the criteria for demarcating airspace?

It was not until he first boarded an airship that he understood that this world was full of magic and contained many situations that went against common sense.

There are strong vertical turbulences in the airspace, which are enough to overturn all the airships and sweep them and the passengers on board to the bloody earth.

These air currents are called "airspace wind walls". Visually, they look like real translucent high walls, connecting the sky-blue dome and the blood-red earth.

If the island world is the ultimate manifestation of the influence of the earth elemental spirit on the material world, then the airspace wind wall is the highest masterpiece of the wind elemental spirit.

The so-called channel is the hole in the middle of the wind wall. The airflow here crosses the two airspaces horizontally, allowing airships to pass through with the wind. Many routes are also determined by the air currents formed by the influence of the wind element, which is quite similar to the ocean currents on Earth.

Now, there is frequent traffic between central airspaces, and blocking the waterways will involve many things and cause huge economic losses.

Having decided to capture the enemy leader with Lancelot, the two had to make preparations for the war first.

Lancelot called the ordinary Order Air Knights who followed him on patrol and asked the four of them to take over the boatload of soldiers brought by Leon, get ready, and take them to the Order Hall together after defeating the blocking forces.

Leon returned to Zoe and Eden.

While chatting with Lancelot, Zoe did not run away. She listened quietly. Leon met her gaze several times.

She couldn't participate in their conversation at all, and kept tapping her feet rhythmically, much like a kitten that couldn't find its target and so lay on the ground slapping its tail.

Apart from listening to what Leon said, she paid the rest of her attention to the small airship that Lancelot was driving over.

Its appearance is a cockpit with glass in the front, equipped with internal combustion engine propulsion, suspension airbags, flying wings and tail rudders. Of course, its power comes not only from the fuel engine, but also from the engraved wind magic circle. The more advanced the airship magic circle, the better the effect. Lancelot's is okay.

"Do you want to try it?"

Leon's question made Zoe's eyes light up immediately. After getting permission, she couldn't wait to enter the cabin. She pressed the mechanism to open the cabin at the first time, which was obviously the answer she had obtained after observing for a long time.

There are two seats in the small boat, which is the standard configuration. The larger ones can accommodate up to five people, but since everyone drives a small boat, they generally don’t buy a large one.

Guiding Zoe to the driver's seat, Leon pointed out to her what each place was used for.

Just as children at an amusement park understand how to drive bumper cars and go-karts without much thought, the fun of driving becomes as easy as instinct for those who enjoy it.

"Actually, a small airship is easier to drive than a car because it's pre-balanced. You just need to understand the altitude and direction control to fly freely. Here's the speed lock. Adjust the direction of travel, pull it down, and it will move at a constant speed. You're responsible for enjoying the scenery in the air.

"This is an empty map. If you don't understand it, you can ask Ms. Eden."

The beast-eared beauty nodded beside him: "Over the years, I have learned a thing or two about the skills of flying an airship."

Li Ang found that as he was talking, the girl's attention was no longer on driving, but on his face.

She realized something with her keen intuition.

"The upcoming battle is very dangerous. I can't participate at all, right?"

"Ah."

Li Ang answered firmly.

Previously, when facing ordinary imperial troops, Zoe could easily deal with them as long as there was no such strange black lightning.

But as for the person he was about to face, although Leon knew his weaknesses and understood that most of his strength came from his hardware combination, the gap in realm was like a chasm. Even though Zoe now had an extraordinary material shield relying on the Earth Star Soul, it was still very dangerous for her to be affected.

"The decks of the nearby ships might become a battlefield soon, so I need you to take this boat and get away."

There were many people around and if Eden showed his giant wolf form, many things would be difficult to explain, so Leon borrowed this small boat from Lancelot.

The girl sat very quietly: "I can tell at a glance that the bad guy leading the charge is very powerful. I really want to help you, but I know I'm not good enough."

She looked at the palm of her hand, and a golden light emerged, quickly creating a ball of earth element.

"You see, my mastery of magic has improved again. I don't want to just watch, I really want to help, so I asked Sister Eden to teach me how to control my power."

Li Ang smiled at her, and the girl continued, "I've also been communicating with Xiao An. She and I both feel more power."

"But even that little effort isn't enough, is it?"

The ending of the girl's words suddenly became small and trembling, and her eyes suddenly turned red.

Li Ang noticed that there was a hint of fatigue between the girl's eyebrows.

She hadn't had a chance to sleep during the long chase. Even at her most energetic age, she wasn't just passing the time; she was also worried and afraid, which made her tired. However, she used her spare time to improve her control over earth elemental magic.

"No, you're making rapid progress. It won't take long for you to catch up."

"But I don't want to wait," Zoe wiped her eyes, "but I have to wait."

She sobbed a few times, shook her head, took a deep breath, and looked into Li Ang's eyes.

"Leon, you go fight. Sister Eden and I will go to Frost Sky Island first."

"this--"

"Since I can't join the battlefield, what's the point of me following? If I want to fight alongside Leon sooner, wouldn't it be faster to go to Frost Sky Island first?"

She was right, she could understand this. Li Ang was slightly surprised, but also very relieved.

However, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty, and the words he spoke could not be organized fluently for a while.

"If you're on your own, even with Eden, you'll probably still encounter a lot of strangers... Things here won't take long..."

The girl said, "It's a good thing that you and your friends want to catch those bad guys. Otherwise, they would hurt more people. Besides, they were going to catch me anyway, so if I followed them, it would be even more inconvenient, right?"

Since even the shipping lanes were blocked, the Ignis airspace must have been plunged into a tense atmosphere. This was related to the Empire's attempt to capture Zoe, so it was indeed best not to let her get close to that side.

"It's okay. After all, I'm used to separation."

Zoe gave Leon a big smile.

Li Ang took a deep breath.

"I promise to catch up with you as soon as possible. I'll capture him and send him to the Hall of Order. If it's quick, it'll only take a day. You can get some sleep and see me again."

He sent the Imperials to the Hall of Order, and then made suggestions to the Order Cavalry, telling them not to be lenient towards the Empire, as this also concerned Zoe's safety. After doing this, he immediately headed north to the Goracis airspace.

"Hehe, I know you can't bear to leave me, so you have to promise me one thing."

Zoe's eyebrows turned into a devilish smile again.

"it is good."

Li Ang nodded without hesitation.

"First, let Xiao An follow you. Sister Eden said that we have reached a consensus. As long as my abilities improve, I can borrow her strength no matter how far away I am. Don't worry."
