It was Rock's first time to ride on this amazing magical creation. The steel body flew in the sky like a bird. I really don't know how those wizards did it. It seemed similar to an airship, but also very different.
The propellers on both sides of the wings were spinning rapidly, and the noise could be clearly heard even in the cabin. Such an environment was not particularly comfortable, and the flight was often accompanied by violent vibrations. However, when he looked at the soldiers around him, he found that many of them had gotten used to it, and even slept against the cabin wall with their weapons in their arms, completely unaware of the huge roar outside.
Because the cabin was closed, the people sitting inside had no idea where they were, but Rock could roughly sense from the subtle changes in temperature on the cabin wall that they were probably deep in the heart of the North.
Even through the metal cabin, the bone-chilling cold still reached people, making them alert.
"Arrived above the target, ready for combat."
"Arrived above the target, ready for combat."
"Arrived above the target, ready for combat."
The pilot's voice repeated repeatedly from the loudspeaker in the cabin, and then a captain picked up the metal loudspeaker at his side and responded.
"Got it, we're ready." The voice was transmitted to the cab in front through a thin metal pipe, and then a response came, which marked the end of the call.
Then, the interior of the cabin began to tilt, and the plane began to dive and lose altitude.
Giant birds made of steel flew down from the clouds, passing through the thick sea of clouds, as if entering a brand new world. Unlike the quiet and empty world above the sea of clouds, this was a cold and icy world with countless snowflakes dancing.
There was a violent shock of fire in front of the field of vision. The explosion cloud that rose into the sky swept away countless snowflakes and shook this almost still world. Then the fire dissipated, revealing the ruins below and the ground covered with dark red embers.
The belly of the cabin opened, and a strong gust of cold wind rushed in, making people wake up instantly. Then, the soldiers who were ready jumped down one by one and entered this extremely cold world.
Like these soldiers, Rock jumped into the snow-covered world below. After flying a distance in the air, he slowly opened the parachute behind him. In fact, for him, such a thing was dispensable, but he still wanted to experience it.
Passing through the sky where the north wind was howling, and descending onto the slightly cold ground after the snow had melted, Rock stretched his arms and legs and caught up with the team in front.
On the mountainside roads and beneath the watchtowers, the battle had already begun. Despite the previous bombing, some small targets had been spared, and there were still many defenders stationed there. Faced with the sudden arrival of the Fairywood soldiers, these people were surprised, but they quickly reacted and began to open fire.
The sound of muskets firing echoed in the mountains, followed by the sound of swords clashing. For some extraordinary people, bullets are not as useful as they imagined. As long as they don't stop casually, it is almost impossible for ordinary soldiers to hit a high-speed moving target. This has been well known to both sides in the battles in recent years.
However, this time, the soldiers who were able to participate in the battle were all elites carefully selected by the Fairy Tree. All of them were extraordinary people above level 3. Facing such masters of the enemy, they did not expect to win with just muskets and bullets.
After landing on the ground, many people drew the mechanical gun swords on their backs. The iron-gray swords were engraved with clear rune marks that emitted orange-red light. After the magic crystals on the scabbards were charged with these rune marks, they could play a huge role in battle and could easily cut through the opponent's weapons and armor.
At the same time, the armor worn by these soldiers is also a simplified version of magic armor. Although the defense is not full coverage and it does not have flight function, it has its own anti-gravity lightening enchantment, which can easily overcome various obstacles and jump to very high places. At the same time, it can also open a limited shield to resist not-so-strong stray arrows.
With such excellent equipment, these soldiers quickly broke through the blockade of the northern garrison and approached the ruins of the collapsed castle.
Extraordinary people will not die easily. Although the explosion just now was loud, the power was not concentrated. Extraordinary people of level 6-7 will not be killed unless they are holding a bomb at the time, so the battle will not end so soon.
From time to time, arcs of orange-red swords flashed in the snow, and there were voices shouting orders. These soldiers broke through the garrison's defenses at an unprecedented speed, gradually surrounding the entire ruins, and then began to clean up and search for figures hiding under the ruins.
Rock was also among these people. He walked among the collapsed rubble, carefully sensing the magic power below, and then turning over pieces of stone from time to time.
'Not here.'
"This doesn't feel right. It's not Isaiah or the Queen."
'Not here.'
"This location shouldn't be wrong, wait..."
He stopped in the middle of the ruins, then took a few steps toward the northwest corner, but soon stopped again.
"Did he disappear here? But with his skill level, it shouldn't be so obvious." A thought flashed through his mind, and Rock swung his sword to sweep away the rubble beneath him, pushing it aside and revealing the hidden passage below.
There is a spiral staircase leading down to the dark basement of the castle.
'I have no choice but to go in.'
After calling out to the soldiers around him and asking them to report, Rock jumped directly in and quickly moved through the dark passage without any lights.
The underground passages in the North, though chilly, weren't as cold as the surface. Instead, they offered a touch of warmth to those entering from the frozen world. After entering the underground, Rock continued forward, following the faint scent in the air.
