However, just when the sheriff, who was an expert in racing, was about to give it a try to see if he could escape with the size and speed of his own airship, the cannon barrel that had been aimed on the spacecraft was suddenly retracted.

This made the sheriffs on the airship feel a little relieved, because the implicit meaning of the spacecraft's behavior was that "the two sides still have room for negotiation."

But just as the sheriffs were thinking about how to talk to the owner of the spaceship, the passage at the front of the spaceship suddenly expanded! Not only that, the spaceship pounced towards the airship like a living thing!

A powerful suction force came from the open passage. Even though the sheriff wanted to speed up and leave, he was still sliding into the huge mouth of the spacecraft little by little.

"It's all your fault! If you hadn't wanted to hunt down those three people, how could we have encountered such a thing! "

At the moment of "near death", a sheriff who usually took bribes shouted at the middle-aged sheriff.

He was no longer afraid of the other party's strength, which was four levels higher than his. He thought that everyone was going to die soon, so why not just say it? Although the facts were definitely not consistent with what he said, it was better to blame others than to feel guilty! Glancing at this ignorant jerk, the middle-aged sheriff stared at the open passage of the spacecraft with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

The next second, the airship was "swallowed" by the spaceship, along with several airships that were following behind and watching from afar.

The speed of Carl's spaceship was far beyond the reach of these antique goods. With just an acceleration, it "swallowed" the remaining two sheriff's airships like a big fish eating a small fish.

"I heard from my sister that you want to arrest her?"

When the three airships landed one after another on the apron inside the spacecraft, the lights around them suddenly brightened.

The sheriffs squinted their eyes and saw a huge figure sitting on a metal chair in front of them.

He had his back to the light source, and his entire body could not be seen clearly due to the sharp changes in light and dark.

But a silver-grey mechanical ring was suspended behind him, and purple electric light was wandering on the mechanical ring, making people's scalps tingle.

As everyone gradually adapted to the changes in light and darkness, the huge figure sitting on the metal chair gradually became clearer.

'This is... a warforged?'

When they found out that the person in front of them was not a human but a huge machine, the sheriffs thought they were being fooled. But now that Carl has been combined with the mecha, he is like a real Cybertronian. Not only is his movements agile, but the entire mecha also exudes a breath of life.

The well-informed guy immediately thought of the war figurines in the main plane.

In fact, there are also some warforged monks or priests on the Air Elemental Plane. Most of them come to the Air Elemental Plane to avoid trouble, and few people know about it.

But most of those war terracotta warriors were of normal medium size, but the one in front of him...

Looking up at the mecha that was more than four meters tall, the sheriffs secretly swallowed their saliva and felt their throats tighten.

Carl's size reminded them of the wind giants and cloud giants that had dominated their lives for most of their lives.

But even they seemed to be slightly smaller than the one in front of him.

Just when they were too nervous to speak, Karl's unhappy voice sounded again: "I don't like to repeat a sentence too many times, or do you not even have the intelligence to answer questions? If that's the case..."

He raised his right hand slightly, and a flash of spiritual energy flashed across his body.

At the same time, densely packed Iron Ant Type 1 constructs flew out from behind and surrounded the three airships.

"Yes! Your sister is indeed our target! But we are hunting her because she violated the laws of Eclipse Port! We are maintaining the law and order of this city!"

Realizing that the iron giant in front of him might really attack, the middle-aged sheriff could no longer care about anything else and quickly answered.

The young people he had high hopes for and their nominal leaders had all been arrested. This was no time to just kill them and get away with it.

"Ha! Maintaining law and order? That's funny. Then why didn't you punish evil and promote good when my sister's friend was nearly captured and insulted by thugs?"

"Excuse me, sir. According to our investigation, your sister's friend is at least a tenth-level psionicist, and those thugs who died were not even at the fourth level."

What this means is that the strength of the two sides is unequal.

As soon as the middle-aged sheriff finished speaking, Carl laughed out loud.

It was not polite to suddenly laugh while talking, especially when the sheriffs had no idea what Carl was laughing at, but they were willing to wait.

About ten seconds later, Carl stopped laughing and asked curiously, "What? The higher the rank, the less right? The victim must be right? Besides...you sheriffs chased my sister and the others all the way from Eclipse Harbor to here just because of something like this?"

After hearing Carl's words, the middle-aged sheriff wanted to say something more, "That's several lives lost. How can you call it 'this kind of thing'!" But when he thought about the fact that the punishment for killing gangsters in Eclipse Port was only two gold coins per person, and those gangsters were not necessarily good people, he kept silent.

Just then, the sheriffs saw the mechanical giant sitting on the metal seat suddenly stand up.

The area on "his" chest suddenly opened, and a figure at least 2 meters tall emerged from inside.

He was a young man with fiery red hair and a metallic line on his forehead. Apart from that, he looked almost the same as an ordinary human.

After all, the mood when facing a person of a different race is obviously different from that when facing a person of the same race.

But just when everyone was wondering why the man in front of them wanted to expose the fact that he was a human, Carl reached into his dimensional bag, took out a handful of gold coins, and threw them directly onto the deck of the airship where the sheriffs were.

The clanging sound was so pleasant to the ears that some sheriffs almost knelt down to pick up the trash when they saw it.

But when they thought about the current situation, they forced themselves to endure it.

"Since you stipulated that a gangster's life is only worth two gold coins, then this money should be regarded as compensation. Now, let's discuss what exactly you want to do by chasing my sister? I heard that your Eclipse Port has been plagued by air pirates recently. Under such circumstances, you abandoned the city defense and went out to pursue them without authorization.

Is it that the lives of those hooligans are related to the safety of Eclipse Port, or is it that Ashe's intervention in the extortion of three illegal sheriffs is an unforgivable crime and more important than protecting Eclipse Port?"

After throwing the gold coins, Carl returned to the mecha. After becoming one with the mecha again, he stepped forward and said this in the voice of Optimus Prime.

His tone was not aggressive, but as he approached, the sheriffs still felt a sense of oppression.

The middle-aged sheriff opened his mouth helplessly, because he felt that his previous pursuit of Lisanna and the other two was indeed an exaggeration.

It's just a few thugs who died. The three sheriffs were disturbed by the control spell. Although it caused a lot of noise, the subsequent inspection did not find that their memories were tampered with too much. Only a small part of their memory was erased. Why do you have to go after them?

Just when he was wondering whether his behavior was also a bit selfish, Carl's voice sounded again.

"My sister encountered a group of sky pirates before arriving at Eclipse Harbor. After killing them, they learned something from the pirate's mind - the recent frequent appearance of sky pirates was the work of a powerful figure in your Eclipse Harbor.

They had already reported this matter when they arrived at the port, but your people didn't react at all.

By the way, who gave you the shoulder patches that warn of enchantment spells? And when?

Carl was still talking about the information behind the sky pirates one second ago, and the next second he jumped to an unrelated topic.

The sheriffs' not-so-smart brains froze for two seconds because of the change of topic. A young and energetic young man subconsciously replied, "It was the deputy chief three days ago..."

Afterwards, everyone saw that the mechanical giant in front of them actually had a very vivid smile on his face.

"Nice craftsmanship, but I have at least six ways to circumvent its effects and cast enchantment spells on the wearer without being detected."

After saying that, Karl waved his hand.

The strong wind started to blow again, but this time it was directed outwards.

Three Sheriff's airboats were blown out of the spaceship together. The sheriffs grabbed the masts and sides of the ship and managed to prevent themselves from being blown away.

By the time they came to their senses, the entrance at the front of the spacecraft had been closed.

Then, the huge spaceship raised its position and headed towards Eclipse Port.

Looking at the rapidly departing spaceship, the sheriffs' minds were in a mess.

Three airships were suspended side by side in the air. Everyone looked at each other, some of them couldn't believe that they actually survived this time.

Suddenly, they heard the colleague who was outstanding in all aspects except his official position growl: "When did this gentleman's sister and her companions arrive at Eclipse Port!"

On another airship, several young sheriffs who had been following the middle-aged sheriff in investigating the case were stunned for a moment. One of them thought for a moment and then replied, "It seemed like four days ago?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the security inspector next to him covered his mouth.

But the surrounding sheriffs still heard that moment.

The questions that Karl had just asked and the words he had said were suddenly connected together with the appearance of this time.

A bold idea suddenly popped up in everyone's mind.

"The person behind the pirates, could it be the deputy director?"

Thinking of the power structure that had been maintained in Eclipse Harbor for hundreds of years, everyone couldn't help but shudder.

In Eclipse Harbor, the immediate boss of a department will only be a Wind Giant, and the second in command will always be a Cloud Giant.

But... who doesn't want to climb up a little bit?
