“Such a brilliant battle,” Sylviemented involuntarily. U.p.dated. by
“Yes,” Tilly agreed smilingly and cast an airy look at Cami. In the end, even Cami was fascinated by the battle and started to watch the two bines attentively.
When ne No. 2 sessfully shook off its opponent with the help of the upwind, Tilly knew there would soon be a winner.
However, the result was not important anymore.
She saw what she wanted.
For example, when a ne was outnumbered and cornered, the dominant party took control of the air space and the pace of the battle.
Nevertheless, this was not an inflexible rule. The oue of the battle was always subject to change depending on the dynamics between the two parties. By changing formations and tactics, the party in disadvantage could also defeat the party taking control.
Given that, teamwork seemed to be extremely important when fighting even more cunning Devilbeasts.
Another thing she had noticed was that the ne above had a better chance to win. Therefore, the best way to start a battle would be that one unit held the Devil beasts back while the other fired from above.
What she needed to work on now was the air force formations and how many nes that should be included in one unit.
But Tilly understood that training was different from a real battle. She still had to experience a real battle before she decided what to write in the Flight Manual.
Tilly was pleased that the students learned even faster than she had expected. Based on the current rate, the aerial knights could probably fight in the Kingdom of Wolfheart and the Kingdom of Everwinter by the time the “Fire of Heaven” went into production.
She would definitely not miss such a perfect opportunity to seek revenge.
The “Unicorn” was simply a trainer aircraft. She believed that Rnd was now making a brand new fighter aircraft for her.
She should visit the castle and remind him once more after the training.
At this moment, thest ne finallynded on the airport.
The students and the spectators all burst into cheers and apuded.
“Now I know why you divided the group in this way,” Sylvie said quietly.
“I didn’t expect it would work so well. I thought I’d have to wait for another half a month,” Tilly said with a smile as she waved at Eagle Face and handed him a list. “Well, let the next group get ready.”
Tilly looked toward the north. Soon, she would have the demons to pay for what they had done.
...
The ship produced a long, deep whistle.
It indicated there was another shiping in this way. Manfeld heard this kind of whistle every hour, and it became increasingly frequent after he entered the territory of Graycastle. Now, he could hear them pretty much every half an hour, and the interval between each whistle was getting increasingly shorter.
He had never known that Graycastle had such developed marine technologies.
It wasmonly believed among the nobles in the Kingdom of Wolfheart that Graycastle was a country vast in territory with few resources. Itsnd was as infertile and thin as that in the Kingdom of Wolfheart. The Kingdom of Dawn was the wealthiest country on this continent.
However, it seemed that this was not true.
Stories could go awry in the retellings from one vige to another, let alone that these rumors were circted between two kingdoms. One thing that Manfeld could ascertain was that Graycastle had indeed defeated the church. This fact alone was sufficient to prove that the King of Graycastle did know how to y political games.
But he did not know exactly when he would arrive at Neverwinter, this mysterious city.
Manfeld yawnednguidly at this thought.
The long voyage was more rxing than he had thought. The ship did not immediately head to the next port after it reached the north of the Kingdom of Dawn. Instead, the crew cleaned the crowded cabin a little bit and asked passengers who suffered severe seasick to get off the ship and travel bynd. The rest of the passengers thus had plenty of time to take a rest. The residents in the Kingdom of Dawn had even built many temporary buildings at the dock area as if they had prepared for the arrival of the refugees. Their services in coboration with the Graycastle men were seamless. Had Manfeld not seen the gs of the Kingdom of Dawn upon the city, he would have thought this was a part of Graycastle.
Apparently, the two kingdoms had reached a sort of agreement. Manfeld was not sure at what cost King Rnd Wimbledon had persuaded them to help him.
It had only taken him a week to recover from his injuries, and he had not used the strange pill given by the twodies ever since.
Manfeld wondered how they were doing now. His hand reached for the pill in his pocket when he thought about the two women. Although they were emaciated and dirty, there was a hint of hidden beauty underneath their straggly hair. If they had put themselves together and dressed themselves up, they should have looked pretty stunning.
Manfeld hoped that the two women could reach the destination and be freemen. In that way, they could cut ties with their dismal past and live a brand new life.
Suddenly, Manfeld heard a strange buzz, as though something was flying above him.
Then, running footsteps came from the cabin on the upper level.
“Be quiet!”
“What are those guys doing? I can’t sleep!”
Someoneined at once.
Manfeld slid off his bed and peeped out of the porthole.
If he was right, those footsteps came in the same direction of the buzzing sound.
Nothing was changed. The sky was as blue as ever, and the vast ocean stretched away before him. A few big birds were chasing each other in the sky.
<i>“Hang on. What kind of birds are they?”</i>
Manfeld rubbed his eyes and could not believe what he saw. When the “birds” were perpendicr to the horizon, he could see their unusually sharp wings and tails, which made them look not remotely like real birds!
When they brushed past the ship, Manfeld could finally ascertain that this was not his imagination. They were not real but artifacts made of metal. What was more incredible was that the machines were manned!
For a moment, a phrase tried to take shape in Manfeld’s mouth and his lips parted like a dumb man’s. How could that be possible? He had gradually epted the existence of the First Army and the steam-powered boats and had also somewhat foreseen what a prosperous city the king’s city of Graycastle would be, but this was beyond the scope of his understanding.
Suddenly, he had a strong feeling that Graycastle belonged to a different world from the one that the Kingdom of Wolfheart was situated at. It was actually different than all other three kingdoms. Otherwise, he should have heard about these extraordinary inventions.
Since when had the other three kingdoms fallen so behind?
When Manfeld was aghasted and confused, the ship whistled again. This time, it was a much longer whistle that indicated that the ship was about to dock.
He had arrived at Neverwinter.
