An ambush?
Luo Xi narrowed his eyes.
This situation most likely means that there is something hidden in these floating islands. At this time, Luo Xi guessed that what is hidden is probably something related to the Dark Wing Clan, or even an ambush of the Dark Wing Clan itself.
Luo Xi quickly said to Jerome beside him: "Go to the cockpit and inform Leonard to speed up. We have to leave here quickly."
"yes."
Jerome hurried to the cockpit, and the speed of the airship increased slowly. Amid the roar of propellers, the airship quickly passed through the floating islands, and in front of it was an open sea of clouds, completely away from the crowded airspace before.
Leonard then came to find Luo Xi and asked: "Master Wizard, we have left that airspace. Where do you think we are now?"
Luo Xi looked around, then looked at the vast sea of clouds and said, "Let's find a hidden place to park the airship. We will wait here and see what happens."
No matter what, they still need to pass through here. Luo Xi's plan is to wait here first. If nothing happens and the large force in front passes through the cloud smoothly, then he will follow. If it is the other way around, then he can just avoid the danger.
"I hope I'm just overthinking it."
To be honest, Luo Xi didn't want anything bad to happen, after all, it might affect the subsequent voyage.
Following Rossi's instructions, Leonard drove the airship into the clouds. The clouds here were very thick, easily dozens or hundreds of meters thick. A small airship like theirs was completely hidden once it entered.
Then, everyone started waiting in the clouds.
Time passes by little by little.
A few hours passed in the blink of an eye.
Everything has been peaceful throughout. Although the number of airships accumulated in the past has increased, nothing has happened yet. This makes Luo Xi very confused.
"Did my judgment go wrong?"
However, just when Luo Xi suddenly doubted himself, suddenly, a nervous horn sounded in the distance.
“Wuwuwuwu!!～～～”
A deep and powerful voice resounded throughout the sky, clearly an order of war.
As the horn sounded, the originally calm sky suddenly began to boil at this moment.
Luo Xi, who was resting in the room, left the cabin and went to the deck as soon as possible.
The crew of the airship has now gathered on the deck. They were obviously attracted by the sound of the horn just now. Everyone has a look of nervousness and surprise on their face.
Including Leonard, in fact, they were a little puzzled by the retreat order issued by Luo Xi before, and even felt that Luo Xi was worrying too much. After all, there were a large number of airships over there, and there were two major wizard organizations present. The Dark Wing Clan was at most trying to steal some tolls, so how could they have the courage to provoke a dispute.
However, what is unexpected is that this most unlikely thing actually happened at this time.
"Master Wizard!"
"My lord, listen, it's the sound of the horn."
Seeing Luo Xi coming out, everyone gathered around him.
Luo Xi nodded, and then said to Angel, "Open the Eye of the Sky and see what's going on over there."
"yes."
Angel nodded and chanted a spell. As she chanted the spell, a hexagram magic circle appeared on the sky. A large amount of water mist gathered above the magic circle. Then, some images suddenly appeared in the water mist, which were the airspace in front.
When retreating before, Luo Xi scattered some magic water droplets in the airspace. This was a magic he learned in Alolia's palace. It was a detection spell. These magics could record the surrounding situation and then quickly transmit it to a distant place through the refraction of light and shadow of water elements, just like surveillance, allowing Luo Xi to monitor remotely with his sight.
At this moment, through the water mist, the situation in the airspace ahead was fully presented in front of Luo Xi.
However, the prosperous scene of the airships in the originally clear and boundless blue sky was suddenly shrouded in a thick darkness. The figures of the Dark Wing Clan appeared quietly like ghosts, flying out from the floating islands in dense numbers, with huge black wings behind them covering the sky and the sun, as if they were going to swallow up the entire sky.
“Kill! Kill!”
“Chichichi!”
These Dark Wings let out sharp strange laughs and flapped their huge wings to attack the surrounding airships. This sudden attack immediately caught the airships off guard.
The originally smooth flight paths of the airships were disrupted by the sudden appearance of the Dark Wing Clan. Many of the attacked airships wanted to dodge and fight back as soon as possible. However, in that crowded airspace, even turning was extremely difficult, let alone performing other operations.
What's even more terrible is that some airships that couldn't keep their composure wanted to escape immediately in panic after being attacked, and some even started their airships recklessly and fled in all directions without caring about collisions, which further aggravated the chaos in this airspace.
For a moment, countless airships were seen circling and dodging in the air in panic, trying to find a chance to escape. However, the Dark Wings were numerous, and they tightly surrounded the airships, like a huge black sky curtain, trapping the airships firmly inside.
The Darkwings laughed in a low and evil voice, their eyes flashing with cruelty and greed. They flapped their wings, releasing waves of black magic energy, which intertwined into black chains in the air, tightly binding the airships.
The passengers and crew on the airship panicked. They tried to activate the defense system, but in such a hurry, their defense system could not be deployed because of the constant energy neutralization generated by the mutual collisions. On the other hand, the Dark Wings flew back and forth and continuously released magic to attack the airship.
An airship without defensive magic protection was no different from an ordinary ship. It was as fragile as a piece of white paper under the attack of the Dark Wing Clan's powerful magic. Balls of fire exploded in the sky, and airships kept falling.
“Damn it!”
"Fight back quickly! Shoot them down!"
Some wizards were furious. They flew out of the airships, waving their staffs and casting all kinds of powerful magic to support the airships. However, the number and strength of the Darkwings were far beyond imagination. Although the wizards' magic attacks were effective, they could not completely solve the airship's predicament.
In this dark sky, the airships were like helpless prey, tightly surrounded by the Dark Wings. This sudden attack also foreshadowed the outbreak of a large-scale war. (End of this chapter)
