The Black Flag Pterosaur was a giant creature raised by the Wessex Technology Company. Normally, it wouldn't appear in the sky above numbered cities. It basically lived in a specific farm.
Such a huge Black Flag Pterosaur's combat power was probably close to a player's. Why would it appear near the thunderstorm clouds?
Banco's eyes were like torches as he stared straight ahead. Such a domesticated giant creature shouldn't have any desire to attack after seeing the Wessex Technology Company's airship.
However, this Black Flag Pterosaur was incomparably violent at this moment. It roared as it flew into the thunderstorm clouds, and its target was the small airship that was on the verge of collapse.
Banco, who had smelled a trace of abnormality, immediately ordered the staff to move forward at full speed. However, the scene he was most unwilling to see still happened.
The Black Flag Pterosaur roared as it charged toward the small airship. With a shocking explosion, the airship that was about to leave the thunderstorm clouds was smashed into pieces just like that.
In the control room of the airship.
Li Xiang was focused on controlling the airship when he suddenly saw the giant creature. Beside him, Julie trembled as she shouted "Pterosaur!" What followed was a violent collision.
It was his first time seeing such a giant creature. It was like the terrifying giant beasts in the movies of his previous life, the dinosaurs of the Jurassic period. It was simply a giant!
Thinking back to the Polar night when the chief instructor had provided them with a feast of giant creatures as the staple food, he couldn't help but shudder. It turned out that he was actually eating such a monster.
The fragile airship couldn't withstand the impact at all. After a violent tremor, the passage between the cabin and the control room actually shattered.
The airship thus split into two and fell in two different directions.
Originally, Black Elephant was guarding the door. When he saw that the situation wasn't good, his first reaction was to rush into the control room and kill Li Xiang. Even if he died, he wanted to die together with Li Xiang so that he wouldn't have a chance to escape.
Unfortunately, he had just taken the first step when Li Xiang sensed him. The latter turned around and slashed out mercilessly, tearing apart the last connecting steel plate between the two regions. Black Elephant staggered and could only watch as the airship was cut into two halves. Li Xiang fell in the other direction.
A gigantic black flag pterosaur swept past the middle of the airship. It was also the first time Black Elephant had seen a pterosaur up close, but he didn't feel the slightest bit of fear. On the contrary, he took advantage of the momentum to leap up high and onto the pterosaur's back.
Generally speaking, the pterosaur hated it when humans stayed on its body. Once someone tried to do so, it would seek revenge.
However, the black elephant landed steadily on its back and then slowly moved to the horn on its head. It held the horn and looked down at the earth.
This Black Flag Pterosaur was actually here to pick him up!
Hei Xiang was a little dazed. He couldn't believe that the ally hidden in Wesaix Technology could mobilize the Black Flag Pterosaur and save him so brazenly.
He stood with his head held high and looked back at the half of the airship that had fallen. It was a pity that he couldn't kill that annoying kid.
He didn't like talented young people. Such seedlings should be killed in the cradle.
In the central control room of the gigantic airship.
"Quick, quick, quick! Open the cabin door. I'll go save him! " Banko tore off the tie on his suit and rushed to the cabin door. He jumped out before the door was fully opened.
A Level-3 Magician was a mainstay in any organization. Banko was just one step away from becoming a player. Next year, he would have the opportunity to obtain a player assessment through Wesaix Technology. However, all of this was given to him by the young lady. Therefore, even if he had to face the thunderstorm, he had to complete the young lady's orders.
Failure was not an option!
A Level-3 Magician with 5,000kg of strength and 100m/s speed was already on a different level from other non-players.
Instantly, Banko turned into a blur and disappeared from everyone's sight.
On the other hand, Li Xiang, who was in the other half of the airship, was hugging Julie tightly. At this moment, there was no need to care about the boundaries between a man and a woman. Julie used all her strength to hug this strong and powerful young man tightly. Under such a terrifying speed and turbulence, only he could still maintain his balance.
Julie herself would probably be annihilated in the storm in an instant.
The thunderstorm above them was like a ferocious beast with its mouth wide open and fangs showing, as if it could swallow them at any time.
The attractive force of the thunderstorm and the gravity of the fall neutralized each other and slowed down the speed of their fall. However, no matter if they fell or were sucked in, the outcome wouldn't be good.
Just as Li Xiang was about to risk everything, a familiar voice suddenly came from above.
"Grab my hand!"
Without looking at who it was, he immediately stretched out his hand. The other party's palm was broad and strong. It was actually able to pull both of them back to the top of the airship.
The airbags of the small airship had already burst. The steam that was spreading out was as powerful as the steam from a steam gun. The fact that the other party had been able to save them in such a harsh environment proved that the other party was powerful.
Li Xiang exerted force with his feet and fell on the deck with the other party. A bolt of lightning flashed over their heads and almost hit them.
Banko's blood froze. Even he would have died if struck by lightning. How was this young man able to remain calm from the beginning to the end?
"I'm going to exert force. You have to hold me tight." Banko knew that he couldn't delay any longer. He took a deep breath and recited a magic term. "Assistance — Lithe as a Swallow."
This was a very rare assistance magic spell. Lithe as a Swallow was an "idiom" used by the countries in District One of the Subcontinent during the era of the Blue Planet. Generally speaking, magic spells with this idiom were closely related to the ancient Chinese civilization and were much more powerful than ordinary magic spells.
The magic spell was cast. Banko's body became as light as a feather, but his bodily functions remained the same. He bounced back to the open cabin with the two of them. At the same time, the cabin door was closed. The crew was ready to leave the thunderstorm.
The thunderstorm was a bit strange. It covered a wide area and was very violent. The air defense departments of the cities had to be informed immediately.
"Send my order. Spread the news." Banko breathed heavily. He found that Li Xiang and Julie had passed out. He took out a recorder and aimed it at the two of them. Soon, the information flooded in.
He was relieved to know that Julie was also a Champion. If she was a prisoner of some black market, he would have to get rid of her as soon as possible.
.....
Four hours later.
The giant airship was moving forward slowly in the air. As soon as the news of the thunderstorm was released, the air defense forces of the numbered cities nearby were mobilized. However, the thunderstorm was even more terrifying than they had expected. There was no stopping it. The thunderstorm was still spreading. Once the super buildings in the numbered cities were affected, no one would be able to bear the loss.
The first to bear the brunt was the Sky Arena.
It was also very difficult for the giant airship to resist the thunderstorm, so it was moving very slowly. However, after he sent out the news, the Young Mistress replied.
At this time, the central control room was in a mess. Several military officers were arguing around the table. The one with the highest rank was a Lieutenant Colonel.
He was also one of the top managers of the joint air defense department. They had boarded Banko's giant airship after arriving near the thunderstorm. However, they had not reached a consensus yet.
The Lieutenant Colonel wanted to stop the losses. He suggested abandoning some super buildings and evacuating the people directly, but he was strongly opposed.
There were too many people who had invested in those super buildings. Once they were damaged, countless people would fly into a rage. Compared to that, the lives that the Lieutenant Colonel valued were not worth mentioning in their eyes.
Be it the nobles, the staff, or the soldiers, they were all cannon fodder. They were not worth one-ten-thousandth of their wealth.
Banko rubbed his head as he watched them argue. There were many conflicts between different factions on a daily basis, not to mention at this critical juncture. He had never liked to get involved in the military's affairs. He finally heaved a sigh of relief after receiving the Young Mistress' message.
"Okay, okay, stop arguing. Our Young Mistress has sent a message," Banko raised his communicator and shouted while rubbing his head.
"Young Mistress? Who's your Young Mistress? "A captain frowned. His rank was not high enough to know of Cecilia's existence.
It was the Lieutenant Colonel who had shouted the most fiercely who suddenly fell silent.
Seeing the hot-tempered Lieutenant Colonel fall silent, the others also fell silent.
His bad temper was due to his stubbornness and lack of flattery. At his age, he was only a Lieutenant Colonel with such contributions. How could he react like this to a so-called "Young Mistress"?
Any normal person could guess that the situation was not simple.
"What did the Young Mistress say?" The Lieutenant Colonel sat down angrily. He would never agree to these people sacrificing their lives in exchange for the safety of the super buildings.
"Players. There will be players coming to deal with it," Banko said in a deep voice.
If there were players coming, then it would not be a problem.
Everyone was silent.
