Although the appearance of this battleship was surprising enough, when they followed Fang Zheng into the interior of the spacecraft, everything in front of them made Estelle and others dazzled.
"Is this really an airship?"
Looking at the arc-shaped control room in front of her, the pure white ceiling and floor, and the control consoles that were completely different from what Estell remembered and filled with some unimaginable sci-fi style, all made the lively and simple girl feel a little at a loss. Not only her, but everyone else felt the same.
Only Ling and Theo sat at the control panel skillfully. It was obvious that they were quite familiar with this place.
"What a convenient design! I never expected to see such a computing terminal here."
Tida's eyes were shining, and she couldn't stop looking around. Although she also participated in the construction of some Starlight Technology equipment, this spaceship was obviously not one of them.
"This is not an airship, this is a space battleship."
Ling corrected Estelle's words with a smug look on her face, and then she reached out and typed a few times on the keyboard. Soon, along with Ling's movements, the white walls around her instantly began to flip back like the inner wall of a square black chariot, and in the blink of an eye they turned into a huge, transparent screen, showing all the images at an angle of nearly 150 degrees to everyone.
“Amazing!!”
Seeing this, Tova clenched her fists and stared at the scene with wide eyes. The shining light strips formed a row from the top, illuminating the entire wide circular hall with soft light. The scene outside can be seen clearly all around. Then, at the same time, a cold mechanical electronic sound rang in everyone's ears.
"The Blizzard is ready, the hatch is opening."
Accompanied by electronic sounds, everyone watched as pairs of lights suddenly lit up in the pitch-black passage before them. The orange-yellow spots of light spread forward along both sides like guiding needles, paving a new track for everyone with light. At the end of the track, the door slowly opened, and dazzling sunlight shone in from outside, giving people an unprecedented feeling.
For Fang Zheng, Xiao Hei and Illya, this scene was already commonplace. But for others, it was completely different. Estelle and Joshua had also ridden in an airship before, and they could keenly feel that this thing was completely different from the airships they had ridden. To put it bluntly, the difference was even greater than that between a carriage and a guided vehicle.
Tita stood beside Ling with great interest, staring at her every move - of course she would not press anything randomly, but the key design and control system on this spaceship alone were enough to dazzle her.
After all, this is the crystallization of dozens of civilizations that span the universe. Just a small design can benefit people a lot.
As for Tova, she didn't think too much about it. She just clenched her hands in front of her chest and looked at everything in front of her with shining eyes - well, she was here purely for tourism.
"Brother, everything is ready."
After confirming that all the data was correct, Ling turned her head to look at Fang Zheng who was sitting in the commander's position and frowned slightly - because at this moment, behind Fang Zheng, Illya and Xiao Hei were standing there quietly. They were so skilled, as if they had already gotten used to their positions.
Why are you so skilled? It was obviously me who came first... No, according to those two sword elves, it seemed like they were the ones who came first.
Thinking of this, Ling immediately curled her lips and turned her head away.
"Let's go."
There was no impassioned speech. Fang Zheng just reached out and tapped the console casually. The next moment, everyone felt the floor beneath their feet shake slightly, and then the silver-white warship slowly floated up. The brackets used to support the hull were retracted. Then, accompanied by the beautiful blue light emitted by the four jet engines installed on the main wing and side wings at the rear of the spacecraft, the next moment the silver-white spaceship shot out like an arrow and instantly flew into the depths of the distant sky.
“Wa ...
At this moment, Estell was holding on to the railing next to her tightly and screaming desperately. Although Joshua seemed calm on the surface, he also grabbed Estell's hand tightly with a serious expression.
"Activate IFS stealth system, enter cruise mode, altitude 30,000 meters."
Theo continued to report in her calm tone.
"We will arrive at Abel Palace in three minutes."
"So soon?"
Estel originally thought that she would not be surprised anymore after seeing so many things, but after hearing Theo's report, she was still stunned.
"Even an airship can't go that fast!"
"If you want to go around the continent of Semlia, it will take no more than ten minutes. With it, you can go wherever you want, no matter if it's the end of the sea or the other side of the continent..."
Fang Zheng patted the chair.
"But now, let's get down to business and prepare for battle."
"What are we going to do?"
"It's very simple. After arriving at the location, we will first investigate the location of all the hostages, and then throw you down to launch the attack based on their location. The mission is very simple. First find the target, then protect the target, then defeat the enemy, and then we will recover all the hostages."
"That's easy, but Abel Palace is not small, how can we determine the location of the hostages?"
"Don't worry, we have our own way."
Having said that, Fang Zheng nodded at Ling.
"Release the hovering loop."
"Understood, big brother, the hovering line has been released."
After receiving the order, Ling immediately initiated a command, and then a silver sphere suddenly fell off from the bottom of the spacecraft and fell rapidly downwards. Just when it reached above the Abel Palace, the silver sphere, which was only the size of an orange, quickly stopped, and then it began to decompose and spread, and in the blink of an eye it turned into a satellite formed by layers of overlapping rings.
Immediately afterwards, countless nanomachines only seventy nanometers in size were released from it, and it didn't take long for them to cover the entire Abel Palace.
You know, Aleister doesn't do much serious work, but this thing is perfect for spying on girls while they're taking a bath, going to the toilet, and sleeping, and for generating electricity at home.
Maybe Aleister would like this, too? Otherwise, how did he meet his needs while hanging upside down in that shabby building for so many years?
So if you keep holding it in, it will become a abnormal state... Well, it's understandable, it's understandable.
After all, in psychology there are often people who become twisted and perverted and evolve into voyeurists because of their own inability to do anything. It's not surprising that Aleister is one of them, right?
With the help of the hovering loop, Fang Zheng and the others quickly locked onto the princess's location - after all, Fang Zheng knew Chloë, so of course he recognized her at a glance, and the captain of the guard, Julia, was also among them, but he didn't know the others very well.
After all, Fang Zheng was a big shot in the business world, but he had little contact with the high-ranking nobles, not to mention that the people imprisoned here were all family members of the high-ranking military officials of the Kingdom of Liberl - Fang Zheng didn't know them at all.
Unless you come from the same compound, who would know these aunts, uncles, and grandmas?
So Fang Zheng looked at the people on the screen with eyes wide open, but after they huddled together for a long time, Joshua and Estelle came up with a solution - at least those who were under house arrest and wearing ordinary dresses should be the kidnapped people, and those who were dressed in black were all soldiers from the special forces.
It doesn't matter if you can't see the others. First, rescue Lieutenant Yulia. After all, she is from the Royal Guards. She must know these generals and colonels. Then let her lead the team to rescue the others... and then we can talk about it.
“So we have two goals.”
Fang Zheng pointed at the holographic map in front of him.
"First, the main hall where Her Royal Highness the Princess is. I'm familiar with this place, and I'll lead a team to charge in. Then, the side hall where Lieutenant Yulia is... Well, this place is a bit troublesome. As you can see, it's probably because all the prisoners here are members of the Royal Guard, so the defense is quite tight, and we need a lot of people to rush in."
Having said that, Fang Zheng looked at everyone again and then made a decision.
"My plan is this. I will go to the main hall to rescue the princess first. After all, I am familiar with her and have met her before. I have a certain degree of trust in her. Joshua, Estelle, you go to the side hall with Illya and Xiao Hei to rescue Lieutenant Yulia. Tova, Anjie, Enaya, I need you to stay on the battleship. After we retrieve the hostages, you will be responsible for helping to make arrangements."
"Okay, Mr. Founder."
Tova nodded, and the other two did not speak - this was also the reason why Fang Zheng asked Tova and Anjie to come along. He was not in the mood to comfort the hostages, so such matters could be left to Tova and Anjie, who had full communication skills.
"Ling, Tio, the two of you stay on the bridge and be ready at any time..."
“I want to go too!!”
At this moment, Ling suddenly raised her hand.
"Big Brother, I want to go too!!"
“…”
Just by looking at the way Ling was glaring at Xiao Hei indignantly, and the way the latter was winking and making faces at her, Fang Zheng knew what was going on in Ling's little head.
"Okay, you go with Joshua and the others. Tio, please take charge of the bridge... Tita will be here with you."
"OK."
Compared to Ling, Tio seemed quite calm. She just nodded silently, then turned around and continued to stare at the screen.
"Should we land now? But such a big noise will attract the attention of those people."
Joshua was obviously more worried about the tactical issues. You have to know that the Blizzard was nearly 300 meters long, which was an absolute behemoth in this era. If it landed, those special forces would have to be blind to see it. At that time, they would definitely encounter a very serious counterattack. Although Joshua had seen Fang Zheng snort in the square and make hundreds of fully armed soldiers surrender, there were many hostages this time, unlike the time when there was only Dr. Russell, and he was also worried about "accidentally injuring friendly forces."
"Oh, no need to land, we have a faster way."
Hearing Joshua's question, Fang Zheng chuckled.
"Come with me."
Then Fang Zheng led Estel, Joshua and the others through the corridors, and then came to a strange... circular hatch. Then, Fang Zheng opened the hatch and raised his chin towards Estel.
"Sit in."
"What's this?"
Estelle looked at the small space inside the metal hatch in confusion.
"Toilet? I'm not going to the toilet right now."
"This is the best way to ensure that you can reach the battlefield as quickly as possible."
Fang Zheng laughed again.
"Are you ready?"
"All right."
Looking at this strange place in front of her, Estel was still somewhat confused. But when she saw Illya, Xiao Hei and Ling open the hatch next to them and get in with ease, she nodded, took her weapon and walked in, then sat down in the seat. Then, the metal safety bar pressed down from her shoulder, completely locking Estel in.
Next to her, Joshua also entered another cabin, and then the cabin door closed.
At this time, Estell's ominous premonition became more and more obvious.
"Um...Mr. Fang Zheng, how are we going to get down?"
"It's simple, just throw it down."
"……Why?"
"Let's just throw the drop pod you're sitting in down from here, just like firing a cannon at the ground... How's that? Isn't it fast?"
"Wait, wait! It seems to be tens of thousands of meters high here!!!"
Hearing this, Estell's face turned pale. She didn't quite understand the true meaning of an altitude of 30,000 meters, but at least she knew that she and her companions were now above the clouds - this was high enough for Estell's simple little brain! !
"Don't worry, you won't die from the fall. Most people can't feel the excitement of this kind of high-altitude bungee jumping."
"I don't want to feel anything either! Let me out!"
"What a pity, it's too late. Be careful on your way and have fun."
As Fang Zheng finished speaking, the next moment Estell felt herself sinking, and then an incomparable feeling of weightlessness quickly captured her. Then, under the effect of the whistling jet engine, the airdrop capsule carrying Estell streaked through the sky like a meteor shower and fell directly to the ground.
The special forces soldiers guarding the palace did not notice anything unusual until they heard a whistling sound from above their heads. Then they looked up at the sky in surprise. Then they saw several huge metal bodies flash past their eyes and then fall directly at the gate of the side hall of the palace.
"boom!!!!"
A violent explosion sounded, and the impact caused the special agents and soldiers around to fall to the ground. They watched the huge metal shells falling to the ground not far away, and for a moment they didn't know how to respond.
Until those metal shells spewed out white steam, and then the outer shell opened automatically, and then a black shadow jumped out hurriedly.
"I, I really thought I was going to fall to my death!!"
At this moment, Estell's face turned pale and her hand holding the stick was shaking.
"What? Are you scared?"
At the same time, Xiao Hei also poked his head out from the side, looked at her with a smile and asked.
"No!"
Hearing Xiao Hei's question, Estier jumped up and refuted loudly.
"Okay, now is not the time to discuss this."
Joshua stopped this low-level quarrel in time. Although his face turned pale, perhaps because of his personality, he seemed much calmer than Estelle.
"Those secret service soldiers are coming, get ready to take action!!"
