The exploration team leaders who knew each other greeted each other. Even if some of them had some conflicts with each other, they tried their best to laugh it off at this time. It seemed like they wanted to use this opportunity to reconcile. These exploration team leaders usually fought with each other in order to snatch missions and resources. However, as long as there was no deep hatred between them, it was better to let go of these conflicts as much as possible during this special period.
After all, no one dared to say that they would be able to come back alive. The people they could rely on the most were their comrades who were currently on the platform. It was impossible for them to leave their backs to other exploration teams, but at least they could maintain harmony on the surface and resolve conflicts that could be resolved. It would be a joyous occasion if they didn't get stabbed in the back by others.
These exploration teams had at least two or three small teams participating in this Holy War. Some had more and some had fewer, but most of them had around a dozen to twenty people. For the Wanderlust Team, there were Oscar, Feng, Asher, Wang Zhong, Grai, Napier, Sharmie, and Mario. It was probably the only exploration team that had nine people. Although Scarlet had joined, her fate was obviously not in her own hands.
Hale looked on coldly from the sidelines.
Previously, the Oceanic Beasts and the Wanderlust Team had many small conflicts. Although they did not have a deep hatred for each other, they had disliked each other for a long time, especially when Hale had his eyes on Sharmie. Hale had been playing dirty tricks, and Feng and Oscar had interfered. In this Holy War, the Oceanic Beasts had gone all out. Hale led three teams of twenty people. Although it was important to improve himself and make money from the war, if there was a chance, he wouldn't mind burying all the people from the Wanderlust Team. By the way, Sharmie had to stay behind. He hadn't tasted her yet!
At this time, more than 400 people had gathered on the platform, and there were also exploration teams joining in sporadically. Then, a large black mass of people could be seen.
"Damn, the people from the Phantom Squadron are here."
"Tsk … This style …"
The Phantom Squadron, ranked third among the top 10 exploration teams, was definitely a superstar existence in the Dimensional Hostel. The first thing that came into view was a field of sparkling silver light. Unlike most exploration teams with messy equipment and loose management, the moment the Phantom Squadron appeared, it gave people the feeling of a regular army.
They were all wearing the same standard Moratu Battle Armor. There were ten neat square squads with twenty people in each squad. However, they did not seem to be in a mess when they walked over. This made the more than four hundred Holy Disciples on the platform, who were standing rather disorderly, instantly feel ashamed of their inferiority.
The one walking at the front was the legendary Phantom King Morad, the leader of the Phantom Troupe. He was a man shrouded in a strange fog. The fog was strange. You could not see the existence of any fog, but you could not see his face clearly. It was as if he was covered by something, or you could just ignore him. He was not wearing the silver armor of the other members of the Phantom Troupe, but a black cloak. It complemented his feeling of being shrouded in the fog.
"This is the leader of the Phantom Squadron, Phantom King Moratu," Oscar whispered to Wang Zhong.
It was rare for Holy Disciples to have a title, and a title like the Phantom King was not something that anyone would dare to call out casually. How many powerful teachers and Great Teachers were there in the Holy City? If a Holy Disciple dared to call himself a king, then he must have absolute strength so that others would not think that he was arrogant. The Phantom King Moratu was obviously one of the best. Not only was he the leader of the Phantom Squadron, but he was also one of the ten most famous Dimensional Devourers in the Dimensional Hostel.
The exploration team leaders who had been trying to get on good terms with the Phantom King Moratu did not dare to get close to the Phantom King Moratu. When the entire exploration team walked forward, the others automatically made way for them.
They saw that Laura and Molton were in the ninth team, but they obviously would not have the chance to have a private chat with them. They could only hear the buzzing discussions of the other exploration teams around them. Obviously, they were envious of the Phantom Squadron's formal style.
The timing here was very accurate. The Phantom Squadron had only arrived a few minutes ago when a huge shadow shrouded the platform. With a buzzing roar, a huge airship slowly landed on the platform.
Airships were semi-mechanized things. They were not just products of alchemy. Their structure was quite complicated. Alchemy mainly provided hardware support for machinery, attack, and hull. In addition, it also involved energy science. According to the specific use of the airship, runic arrays, boundary arrays, and many other subjects were used. It was a convergence of various disciplines in the Holy City and could be regarded as a cutting-edge product.
The huge airship in front of them was about 40 meters long and nearly 20 meters wide. Its exterior was in the shape of a ship.
The command airship was a third-generation command airship model. It did not carry many weapons, only two Makedon Mark III heavy runic cannons at the front. At the same time, the lower cabin area around the airship was densely covered with dozens of light cannons. Its firepower could not be said to be weak, but it was not the type to attack. However, the hull of the airship was extremely thick. It was densely covered with runes and had the aura of countless boundaries. It seemed to have strong defensive power.
The role of the command airship was more to sit in the middle. It was the center of a squadron. On the side of the airship, there was a '78' symbol engraved. This was the service number of the battleship.
Not to mention newcomers like Sharmie, even many other veteran Holy Disciples had never had the experience of coming into contact with such a main combat airship. At this time, looking at the huge airship and feeling the reinforced, iron-like hull, all of them could not help but feel a little excited. Individual strength seemed extremely insignificant in front of such a war machine. Even Wang Zhong could not help but compare. He felt that with the hardness of this airship and the dense boundary runes, even if he attacked with all his strength, it would be difficult to leave any mark on the hull.
When the ship came to a stop, a cold voice sounded from the top of the ship, "What a mess! Tidy up the formation! Come up! "
It was the voice of Great Teacher Sophia. The cabin door below opened at this time. While the other exploration teams were still busy organizing the formation, the Phantom Squadron had already strode into the cabin under the leadership of Mourad.
Suddenly, Scarlet was standing next to Sophia and looking around on the airship. She was searching the crowd, and when she saw Wang Zhong and the Wanderlust Team, she couldn't help but smile and quietly waved at Wang Zhong.
If he was by her side in the Holy Battle, Scarlet felt that even the battlefield would become more at ease. She did not mind hardships and dangers as long as there was hope.
As they entered the interior of the airship from below, the buzzing sound around them became louder. Wang Zhong had recently read some information about the Holy City's combat airships when he was preparing for war. Although he was not very proficient, he had a general understanding of them. He knew that the buzzing sound was the sound of the airship's energy source at the bottom of the airship. The number of dimensional energy crystals consumed to mobilize the army this time was definitely an astronomical figure. To put it bluntly, war was about fighting for resources.
In addition, there were obviously people in charge of the weapons and equipment in the four cabins. There was an isolated gunboat cabin, and in the middle was a lounge for the airship's crew.
Everyone went directly to the deck and waited for Great Teacher Sophia's instructions. However, Great Teacher Sophia did not seem to be the type of person who was good at motivating people. In this patchwork army, probably only the Phantom King Mourad and his Phantom Legion would receive her attention. They were the main force under her command.
The Phantom Squadron was given a special cabin, while the other exploration teams were randomly assigned. No one dared to question this. Once they landed, the Phantom Squadron would probably be responsible for attacking the airship, while the other exploration teams would just be there to watch. They were not on the same level at all.
The allocation did not take up too much time. The Wanderlust Team was arranged to be in the cabin on the second to last floor, and everyone had a seat. This was not a vacation, so everyone was seated, and their seats were equipped with seatbelts. Flying in the void would not be very smooth, and they would be flying for a long time. Of course, compared to the upcoming battle, this little bit of loneliness was nothing. The cabin door below was closed. With the roar of the engine, the Void Command Ship shook slightly and slowly rose into the sky.
It was everyone's first time boarding such a large battleship, and they could not contain their excitement. There were four windows in the cabin, and everyone squeezed to the windows. At this time, the morning sun shone brightly. As the battleship rose into the sky, they could see ten airships of the same size as Void Command Ship No.78 taking off and landing in the Holy City. They gathered outside the city and then suddenly rose into the sky. Outside the window, they could see that the streets of the Holy City gradually became smaller, and the entire Holy City could be seen.
The huge army and aircraft carrier battle group that Wang Zhong had seen at the outskirts of the Holy City had already left, and the area outside the city was empty. Although there were airships rising from all over the Holy City, the number seemed to be much fewer than the last time he saw them. He did not see that huge Trust aircraft carrier either.
After the Void Command Ship adjusted its position and rose to a certain altitude, they heard the buzzing sound above their heads. Suddenly, the sky was filled with a dense mass of airships outside the window, and the buzzing sound of battleships could be heard all around them. It turned out that the army had already gathered in mid-air.
At this time, everyone was in the middle of this sky full of airships. Around Void Command Ship No.78, there were eight small ten-man combat airships guarding it, and the entire formation in the middle was made up of about a dozen Void Command Ships.
"Look! Big guys! "Sharmie pointed excitedly at the window.
At the position where she was pointing, there were more than a dozen heavy airships that were two or three times larger than the Void Command Ship.
"Those are Macedonian cruisers. They are heavy firepower units and are not as agile, but they have stronger firepower and defense. They are the main combat force of a Trust aircraft carrier battle group." Feng was rather familiar with this aspect. At that moment, she smiled and said, "But these aren't big guys. Tilt your head and look behind you."
Not only Sharmie, but even Grai, who was usually the least curious, couldn't help but tilt his head. He rubbed the window and looked behind him. He saw a huge black shadow that covered the sky behind the large group of combat airships and the Macedonian cruisers!
"Trust aircraft carrier." Even though Wang Zhong had seen it before, he was still endlessly shocked when he saw it again. This was the crystallization of the highest technology in the Holy City — alchemy, wards, energy, and so on. Its might could not be described with just a few words. Furthermore, the endless variety of battleships in the sky was even more shocking.
"The big guys are all at the back. Not to mention the Trust aircraft carrier, even the energy ships and transport ships at the back are bigger than the cruisers."
"I've seen the so-called historical war videos of the Federation conquering the Dimensional Secret Realms," Grai said with some emotion. "There are battleships too, but to be honest, compared to this scene, they are child's play."
"The power of the Holy City is indeed not something that the Earth Federation can hope to match." If there was no obvious feeling when they entered the Holy Land, everyone could directly feel the huge gap in this Holy Battle.
The aircraft carrier battle group in the sky had finished assembling. There were a total of two Trust aircraft carriers in the middle of the fleet.
This was the aircraft carrier battle group led by Sacred Teacher Leyson, which accounted for half of the total military strength. As for Sacred Teacher Timo, he had already set off yesterday. He divided his forces into two groups and attacked the Mizobudapi Phoenix World from two different coordinates.
At that moment, the roar of energy from the surrounding battleships continued to grow louder. The huge fleet started moving, and the battleships that set off first were the first to speed up. Everyone was still looking around and admiring this grand battle scene when they suddenly felt a strong push on their backs. Everyone who was squeezed by the window and caught off guard was pushed to the left and right. The scenery outside the window flashed by, turning into streams of light that flew rapidly.
The coordinates of the Fifth Dimensional World were displayed.
Tianjing City.
It had been almost a year since the previous CHF, and the new CHF had officially opened the curtains for the regionals. It was obvious that the Tianjing Squadron, who had been the miracle team in last year's CHF, did not repeat the miracle of the previous one under the attention of everyone. They only managed to obtain third place in the regionals.
A Tianjing Academy bus slowly stopped at the school gate. The Tianjing Squadron, who had just finished their trip to the regionals, sat in the bus.
At this moment, when they looked out of the car window and saw the empty school gate, everyone's mood became gloomy …
At this moment, a soft voice sounded. "Captain Barran, if Captain Wang Zhong knew about our results, would he be very disappointed in us?"
David, the most talented little genius among this batch of freshmen, had given up the special recruitment in Copperfield City to come to Tianjing. It could be said that he was Wang Zhong's iron fan. Even though he knew that Wang Zhong would not return to Tianjing Academy, it did not diminish his determination to stay in Tianjing. He vowed to protect Wang Zhong and protect the 'empire'! David's strength played a crucial role in being able to obtain third place in the regionals.
However, third place in the regionals was absolutely not enough to protect it. Amongst all of the squadron members, the genius little David was the one who was the most unresigned.
Having become the captain, Barran stood up and walked to the front. Turning around, he said to all of the squadron members, "I don't know if Captain Wang Zhong will be disappointed. However, I do know one thing. Captain Wang Zhong will never give up. In the previous CHF, our Tianjing Squadron was never a strong squadron. How many times did we stumble and fall? Every single time, Hymin, Scarlet and I would say that we had given up. Only Captain Wang Zhong did not. This was the reason why we were able to turn the tables again and again. Others might say that we're a dark horse, a hidden strong squadron. However, in reality, our Tianjing only has the three words' never give up '. "
Speaking till here, Barran gave a smile. Sweeping his gaze across everyone's faces, he saw the faint smile on Hymin's face, the unresigned look on David's face, as well as the contemplative looks on everyone's faces. "I know that there's no one waiting for us outside. However, our Tianjing Squadron, regardless of whether there's anyone watching, doesn't have a single coward! All of you, raise your spirits and get off the bus! "
"Yes, captain."
Barran was the first to get off the bus. All of a sudden, a bang rang out, as countless voices resounded across the entire sky like the waves of a rising tide. In the next instant, students surged out from all directions! In the blink of an eye, the previously empty school gates had turned into a sea of people.
"Life and death, the people of Tianjing will always be together!"
"Go Tianjing Squadron! Go Senior Barran! Go Senior Sister Hymin! "
"Senior sister Hymin, I love you!"
"Forever supporting Tianjing!"
… … …
The entire Tianjing squadron stood in a daze before the school gates. Upon their return, they had already made various kinds of preparations, such as cold treatment, ridicule and so on. Never in their wildest dreams did they imagine that such a situation would occur.
Barran's mouth was full of words. After such a long period of time, he had learnt how to be a captain. However, truthfully speaking, he knew that he didn't possess the same level of ability as Wang Zhong. When he had chosen to stay behind, his bottom line was to not throw away the spirit and spirit of Tianjing.
However, reality was often crueler. Barran's eyes turned slightly moist. He finally understood that although Wang Zhong had left Tianjing, the fighting spirit of Tianjing that he had created still existed. It wasn't something that would dissipate after one or two battles.
With such results, it was clear that they couldn't hold a victory celebration. A dynasty wasn't something that could be established overnight. The departure of the main force would inevitably mean the fall of Tianjing. This wasn't something that Barran and Hymin could salvage.
Frankly speaking, when Barran gave up on advancing forward, they might have become people from two different worlds from now on.
"Say, what kind of life do you think Wang Zhong, Scarlet and the rest are living in the Holy Land?"
Barran scratched his head. After becoming the captain of the Tianjing squadron, he had become less and less like this. Only at times like this, in front of Hymin, would he reveal such an expression. "With captain's strength, no matter where he goes, he will open up a new world. It was like this in Tianjing, and it was also like this when he brought us to the CHF. I believe that one day, they will all come back. All of them will come back."
Hymin blinked her eyes and said, "Sigh, maybe. If they can come back, they will definitely be immortal, and we will definitely be old men and women. Do you have any regrets? If you had followed them to the Holy Land, you might also be immortal. Furthermore, you might have even met a better woman than me … "
Barran didn't wait for Hymin to finish speaking. He stretched out his hand and pulled her into his embrace. He pressed tightly against her chest, as if he wanted to melt her into his body. "I'm an idiot. Being able to grow old with you is the greatest happiness in my life!"
Hymin's eyes instantly turned watery. She hugged Barran's big head tightly and said fiercely, "If anyone tells me that you're honest again, I'll definitely beat him to death!"
The honest Barran had also learned how to say sweet nothings … Who taught him that! However … Hymin's heart must have blossomed. That was because before her fierce voice faded, she had already gently kissed Barran's confession.
Barran accepted it blankly until Hymin's tongue pried open his lips. Only then did he suddenly learn to use the same method to deal with her lips and tongue …
Dark clouds drifted over and covered the moonlight. It was as if the moon was shy, causing the earth to be pitch-black.
After a long time, Hymin's satisfied and faint voice rang out in the darkness. "You … I will definitely live longer than you. If you leave me, you definitely won't know how to live."
"I've thought about it. Captain is so powerful. When they come back, we might not be old men and women … Ah! Why did you hit my head? "
"You idiot! Big idiot! "
