Chapter 1175: Chapter 1175: The Edge of the Sword (Request for Monthly Pass)

Outside Limen City

The light floating war chariots swiftly cut through the wilderness sky, speeding along the road.

"Boss, are we really charging into the wilderness with just this thin-skinned floating war chariot?"

Inside the floating war chariot, a brown-haired man in his thirties looked up at Thorin, who was piloting the vehicle, and asked softly.

"What? You don’t trust my skills?"

Thorin glanced back at him and asked with a smile.

"It’s not that I don’t trust you,"

the brown-haired man hurriedly said, "It’s just that this floating war chariot was originally designed for police use in the city, meant to handle sudden situations within the city. Its defense capabilities aren’t high. If we encounter some stronger flying exotic beasts in the air, it could easily be destroyed."

"Don’t worry,"

Thorin smiled and said, "This floating warplane has been modified."

"Modified with what?"

The brown-haired man’s brow slightly relaxed, curiously asking, "Did you enhance the weapon and defense modules?"

"Somewhat,"

Thorin casually answered, "I switched to a more powerful laser cannon, added a bit of battery for extended range, and also upgraded the engine."

"What about the defense module?"

the brown-haired man quickly pressed, "Didn’t you change the defense module?"

"I did modify the defense module,"

Thorin nodded, and as the brown-haired man’s furrowed brows slightly eased, he continued speaking, "Because I added too many things, the warplane is a bit overweight, so I cut the defense module by half,"

He looked at Thorin with a smile, whose cheeks were stiffening, and continued, "This warplane is even more fragile than you think."

The brown-haired man’s face completely stiffened. After a brief pause, he slowly spoke, "Uh, boss, I just remembered that I have some pending matters at home, I left water boiling in my kettle, I need to go back, otherwise it might start a fire."

"I thought your stove has an intelligent dry burn prevention system?"

Thorin raised an eyebrow, "And isn’t your wife at home?"

"Heh heh."

The brown-haired man laughed awkwardly.

"Don’t worry,"

Thorin looked at the young man sitting in the co-pilot’s seat, who had been quiet the whole time and was the last member in the airship, "Swei is a top pilot who graduated from the Federal Military Academy, even better than me."

"There’s a merchant convoy ahead."

At this time, Swei lowered his head and looked at the real-time view displayed on the main control dashboard of the warplane ahead.

"Looking at the route, they are headed towards Limen City, small convoys wouldn’t dare to progress so openly at night, it must be some consortium’s,"

Thorin also looked at the scene shown on the main control dashboard, "Stars City emblem, it’s a Nolanka Group merchant convoy."

"Nolanka Group’s merchant convoy?"

The brown-haired man in the back was startled, "Transporting light industry goods and food?"

"No, they should be carrying weapons."

The co-pilot Swei said slowly while looking at the vans in the convoy.

"Weapons?"

The brown-haired man startled again, "Nolanka Group is selling weapons now?"

"They’ve always been selling,"

Swei explained, "Their light weapons are well-reputed; though they don’t have the precision or power of Evis Spatial Systems, they win in affordability and durability and can be used in all kinds of harsh environments.

"They are particularly favored by Wilderness Wanderers, Wilderness Hunters, and many security companies of merchant convoys.

"Of course, their star product is the light Exoskeleton Armor that became famous during the Battle of Yilan City in the Federation. A single piece isn’t very strong, but when forming a legion, it can form a rapid reaction force capable of high-speed maneuvering in the wilderness.

"Lately, this Exoskeleton Armor has been in high demand, reportedly Evis Spatial Systems has already been targeting this specific product. Their alternative product intended to compete doesn’t measure up to Nolanka Group’s in stability and practicality and doesn’t sell well."

"I remember now, Limen City’s City Defense Army ordered a batch of Exoskeleton Armors from Nolanka Group,"

continuing with Swei’s narrative, Thorin spoke up, "transferred once from Yilan City, and judging from the timing, it should be this convoy. They are coming from the direction of Yilan City."

At this moment, Swei had already turned his head to look at him, "What do we do?"

At this point, they were getting very close to the merchant convoy.

Since the high altitude is populated with flying exotic beasts, their current flight level wasn’t very high.

Meeting a fully armed merchant convoy with an armed flying vehicle at low altitude is a very dangerous matter.

A stress reaction could easily lead to accidental firing.

"Flash the lights, indicating we are just passing by."

Thorin quickly said, "Then turn right, we’ll leave the commercial road and head straight into the eastern wilderness."

"Okay."

Swei immediately pressed the light switch and raised the joystick, leading the floating warplane to start turning in mid-air.

"Are we directly heading into the wilderness like this?"

The brown-haired man was somewhat confused, "Near the commercial roads, there are far less exotic beasts, and at least there are people around. If we venture deep into the wilderness, if we die, no one will be there to help, and we are flying low, it’s easy to crash into the mountains if we are not careful."

"Relax,"

Thorin smiled and said, "I’ve been to this nearby wilderness many times before; there are no flying exotic beasts in this area at low altitude."

"Ah, alright..."

The brown-haired man took a deep breath, turned his head to look out the window, and suddenly noticed something, "Nolanka Group’s merchant convoy is also flashing lights at us, what does that mean?"

"Morse code,"

Swei casually said, "They’re telling us to be careful in the wilderness and wishing us a safe journey."

"We don’t have much time."

Before the brown-haired man could respond with thanks, Thorin had already turned his head to look at Swei.

"Alright."

Swei nodded gently.

Suddenly, a strong thrust was transmitted to the brown-haired man, forcibly stifling the words he was about to say.

The streamlined Floating Warplane with a howling breeze crossed the sky, rushing toward the depths of the mountains.

"Where on earth are we heading?"

The brown-haired man gripped his companion tightly and shouted.

"Let’s check out the west."

Thorin replied quickly, "We don’t have much time, otherwise I would definitely choose a safe vehicle and road."

Swei silently operated the Floating Warplane without remark.

Soon, the Nolanka Group’s caravan disappeared into the darkness behind them.

And the warplane swiftly passed through the mountains, moving forward like a nimble bird.

The speed was rapid, but the warplane moved smoothly for a long time. The brown-haired man, who had been tense, finally relaxed.

Although it seemed dangerous, in reality...

Before the thought could even fully pass through his mind, he heard Swei quickly say, "There are flying creatures swiftly approaching ahead."

"It’s a Split-claw Bird."

Suote held the joystick and glanced at the creature displayed on the main console screen.

"What should we do?"

Swei quickly asked.

"Split-claw Birds can’t catch up with us, but they will call for reinforcements and cling on till death. Take it out directly," Suote replied without hesitation.

The creature soon appeared in their meat eyes’ field of view.

It was a black creature, with a wingspan of about ten meters, resembling a mix between a crow and an eagle.

"Don’t ascend,"

Thorin said quickly, "Going higher will attract more flying exotic beasts."

"Hmm,"

Swei nodded.

Then he accelerated further, quickly approaching the Split-claw Bird.

Seeing the giant bird zooming towards them, the brown-haired man tightened his seat belt.

Just before they were about to collide with the giant bird, Swei pushed the control stick, and the entire Floating Warplane suddenly plunged, tilting towards the ground.

The Split-claw Bird flew right over their heads.

Seeing the ground approaching closer, with towering treetops almost piercing the Floating Warplane’s windshield, the brown-haired man gripped his seat belt tightly.

Then, the next second, the entire aircraft suddenly pulled up.

The Split-claw Bird still flying inertia in the air didn’t react on time, and the Floating Warplane ascended rapidly, flipping 180 degrees, appearing behind it.

The entire warplane, belly up, aimed its cannon at the back of the Split-claw Bird.

Boom—

The fully charged laser cannon burst forth instantly, shooting across the sky, hitting the Split-claw Bird accurately.

Accompanied by a tragic scream, the giant bird fell from the sky.

The Floating Warplane then drew a vertical circle in the air, righted its body, and continued flying forward.

The brown-haired man no longer had time to think or ask questions; his mind swirled with only one thought.

Although this warplane seemed dangerous, it was indeed very unsafe.

"Well done, do you see that flat valley ahead? Stop the warplane there,"

At this time, Thorin suddenly spoke.

Swei turned his head confusedly and looked at Thorin.

"Split-claw Birds shouldn’t appear here unless influenced by something."

Thorin quickly said, "You and I wearing the Exoskeleton Armor will stealthily move through the wilderness, you wait here for us and turn on the radio at full power, try contacting Limen City."

"Okay."

Swei nodded.

The Floating Warplane began to descend towards the valley ahead.

—

North of the Mountain Range in Minte City

The pervasive white snowfield seemed to cover the entire land, stretching towards the end of the sky.

Wearing Exoskeleton Armor fitted with special skis, the young man followed the man in the fur coat energetically, "Leader, what exactly are we here to see? Also, leaving them with supplies, just the two of us hurriedly came."

The man in the fur coat didn’t speak, but just raised his head to look ahead.

At the edge of his vision, in that vague night, it seemed there was a thunderous sound of music.

He directly led the young man to a small grove covered in white snow beside them.

"Where’s the camouflage outfit?"

The man in the fur coat looked at the young man.

"Here."

The young man hurriedly pulled out two white capes from his pocket.

The man in the fur coat took one and draped it over himself.

The young man did the same, draping it over himself as well.

Then he led the young man briskly forward, rushing out of the grove and crouching on a small snow-covered hill outside the forest.

From a distance, the two in camouflage outfits almost completely blended into the vast snowy field.

Rumble—

The roaring sound in the air grew louder.

There seemed to be a dense crowd of shadows approaching in the distance.

The man in the fur coat picked up binoculars and looked towards the direction of the sound.
